Crackerbox Stamps Blog: Kid Cards

I glued down the banana paper and cut off the excess. I added the lighter blue piece next, then the yellow piece and lastly the darker blue piece and cut off the excess from the previous pieces of pattern paper. To cover the seams, I added strips of yellow cardstock.

I wrote the sentiment Bello in my own handwriting and cut around it leaving a small

border. I colored and cut out the Minion and his hat from the Minion 1 stamp set

and added him to the card. Have a fun day.

Egg-citing Twist on a Classic

By kramer_buffy August 18, 2025 // No comments

Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

I love messing with my stamps and making them do things they were never meant to do. This time? That EGG SOLID stamp got flipped upside down and turned into a balloon—because why not? I kept the colors translucent so they actually look like real balloons (you’re welcome). Pro tip: draw your string all the way to the knot as a straight line before letting it do its wild stringy thing. Just a black gel pen, nothing fancy. The Happy Birthday sentiment tied it all together, but honestly? Think of the possibilities! One egg, one sentiment—this could be a graduation card, a congratulations card, basically an anything card. And yes, now I want to make a whole sky full of them.

Birthday 1 Sentiment

Egg Solid or the Egg Solid & Outline

Hay Stack

Until next time— Stay colorful, stay crafty! -- Dalis

Hello, Janet here with a birthday baseball card.

First, I stamped the baseball, bat, and baseball mitt with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then I colored them with colored pencils and cut them out. I layered a piece of printed baseball paper onto black cardstock and attached it to the card front. Next, using white cardstock, I cut out a home plate, and using a soft brush and brown ink, I made it look dirty. I layered it onto the card and attached the bat, baseball mitt, and baseball. Happy Birthday was stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink.

You'll Always Bee My Sunshine

By Timothy Thomas August 09, 2025 // No comments

Hello, Timothy here today sharing a sweet bee card.

I started with a light purple card base. I layered it with a piece of

yellow plaid paper. I stamped the sentiment You Are My Sunshine

directly on the pattern paper. I used a photo frame and backed it with

some flower pattern paper. I colored the Girl Bee On Swing and

glued her to the center of the frame. I used a white gel pen to

add some sparkle to her wings. Lastly, as usual, I added enamel dots.

Have a Bubble-Riffic Birthday

By Janet's cards February 12, 2025 // No comments

Hi, Janet here with a cute bubble gum machine card. It would be a sweet card for anyone's birthday.

I started by stamping the Bubble Gum Machine and gumballs on a small piece of cardstock. I colored them with Copic markers. I rounded the corners and added it to a piece of silver cardstock with the corners rounded. The last layer is red cardstock embossed with dots and rounded corners. I wrapped a silver cord around that before layering it on the card. I stamped It's Your Birthday on white and cut it out. Layered it on silver and cut it out. Attached it to the upper left corner of the card.

Just A Note Card

By Vicky Briggs October 01, 2024 // No comments

Hello Stampers. Vicky is here today.
Since school has started, I wanted to show our Spiral Side stamp.

I had some corkboard paper and mounted it on the black cardstock.

I wanted to show a cover, so I used green cardstock and cut a piece of white cardstock for the paper.

I adhered the cardstock to the corkboard paper.

I stamped the Spiral Side twice on the cardstock. Then, I added the other stamps and embellishments to make them look like corkboard pins.

You could add lines and write your own message.

Feet Flower Sm.

I'm Sorry!

I hope you liked the card and have some ideas for the Spiral stamp.

Minion Mischief and Easy Card Backgrounds

By Shanna Slater September 03, 2024 // No comments

Hello and welcome! This is Shanna today for Crackerbox Stamps and I have a brand new card featuring our favorite yellow-banana loving- mischeif makers!! MINIONS!

Today's card features the following stamps:

Fart Gun and Poof

If People are Talking

Sassy Dave

I had a lot of fun coloring Sassy Dave and his Fart Gun! I fussy cut them both off, cutting around Dave's arm so he could "hold" the Fsrt Gun more effectively *hehe*.

My background was made by ink Smooshing distress oxides onto watercolor paper. Oxides are a lot of fun for this technique because they have the ability to "layer" on top of each other since the are somewhat opaque. The key to not having the colors overman together is allowing the colors to dry before adding one on top. I used Squeezed Lemonade, Blueprint Sketch, and Lost Shadow to create my background.

Once the background was completely dry I heat embossed my If People are Talking sentiment and stamped the Poof onto the background panel in black and gray inks. The focal images were added to the panel using liquid adhesive to keep it simpler to mail.

Thanks so much for dropping by! Be sure to return again soon for another dose of Crackerbox Stamps inspiration!

I embossed the background and lightly stippled some gray ink over it.

I stamped the saying on white cardstock and used the same gray ink to stipple over it.
