Pink Winter Valentine Card

Hello, friends!  Toni here sharing a pretty in pink winter/Valentine card and wishing a happy holidays to those who celebrate.

I started my card by embossing a pink panel with a 3D snowflake embossing folder.  I then used a snowflake swirl die to cut out the front panel, leaving sufficient room at the bottom to stamp and color up the Snow Girl Waving image.

I combined words from Fairies, Stardust, Magic and Winter Sucks to create the sentiment.

Mixed Media Coffee Lovers Card

Toni here with you today, sharing a sassy little vintage mixed media coffee card.

I spattered the card front with Distress Ink sprays, then layered dictionary collage tissue paper on top. I stamped and embossed the I Mean Coffee sentiment and Coffee Cup Top View Heart.

For the Lady with Coffee, I stamped and embossed her on vellum, then used some patterned paper scraps behind her collar, cup, teeth, and hair. This allows her to show up really well but still have some transparency. For an added pop of color, I spattered some blue glossy spray and used a red pen to highlight a few of the words.  The shine is just dreamy.

Cupid Valentine Cards

Toni here with you today, sharing a vintage inspired Cupid Valentine card with a snarky twist.

 I created a striped background using a variety of solid cardstock with a scalloped border.  It would have been very easy to simply cut strips of cardstock in a variety of colors, piece them together, and cut them to the size of the card front.  Either way, you are able to create a variety of card fronts at once to make each card unique.

I stamped and embossed the Cupid (isn't he sweet?!) in gold on vellum.  I masked and stamped the Weird Stalker sentiment as well.  I then cut out the pair out with a scalloped circle die. I used two layers of vellum to limit transparency.

On the inside of the card, I stamped the remainder of the Weird Stalker sentiment and applied a couple of strips of washi.  Cracks me up!

Hogs & Kisses Valentine's Day Shaker Card

 Hello! Nadine here today with a hogs & kiss Valentine's Day shaker card.

To create my card, I first stamped the Hedgehog with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, and then colored it with Copic markers and fussy cut it out. Next, I die-cut out a circle on the front panel piece of my card. Used some Scor-Tape around the backside of the panel around the circle and adhered some acetate. On the front, above the cutout circle, I stamped the Hogs & Kisses sentiment. I added foam squares all the way around the circle, making sure that the spaces between each one were small enough so that the Love In A Tin shaker pieces couldn't fit through. I added more foam squares around the outer edges of the front card panel and adhered it to my card front. Then I adhered the cute Hedgehog to the front of my card and added a few of the gems from the Love In A Tin around the sentiment.

STAMPS USED:
Hedgehog & Kisses Set

Snarky Marriage Card

Hi Everybody! Cornelia here today. I am back with my Crackerbox Stamps post for this week. Crackerbox Stamps recently had a new release with hilariously snarky sentiments. One of which I used here.

For the background, I used patterned paper. I stamped the cards twice on scrap paper and colored them with alcohol ink markers, and cut them out. Added them to the paper and stamped half of the sentiment (I cut the stamp apart, but you can mask it if you don't want to do that). Stamped the heart and diamond and cut them out, and added them as well. Stamped the rest of the sentiment into the inside of my card.

The stamps I used (different options):

Cards suits solid and Marriage is Like

Card suits open and Marriage is like

Card Suits Hand and Card Suits open

Card Suits Hand and Card Suits solid

Card Suits Hand

I Love You Anyways Card

Crackerbox Stamps Used:

You're Nuts But

Two Cats in a Tree

Cut the card base and the card front for this card from white cardstock. Using 3 tones of Distress Oxide Ink, I blended this simple sunset background using blending brushes.

Then add the snarky sentiment slightly lower in the bottom right-hand corner of the card front, also using black ink. 

Adhere this simple card front to the card base. Then using Stickles, I glittered the outside edge of the blending background for a little extra sparkle. Voila! A simple snarky card was created in just a few minutes.

Kindness and Love Flower Card by Martha Lucia

Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here! Today I want to share one of my favorite cards using Crackerbox Stamps. I am featuring the Apple Blossom designed by Alex and the sentiment Every Day with Kindness. This flower is part of the most recent release.

I love white cards, and for this, I used smooth white cardstock for the card base and for the top layer. It is a die-cut cover plate that includes a fun window in the center. I pasted the die-cut plate over the card base using crafty foam tape, and then I stamped the sentiment Every Day with Kindness with VersaFine Clair Onix.

On a separate piece of Whtie Smooth Cardstock, I stamped the Apple Blossom designed by Alex and colored it with Alcohol Markers from Spectrum Noir. Then, I fussy cut the flower and pasted it over the decorated card base.

Stamps Used:

Masculine Valentine For A Sweetheart

Hello Craft Friend. I am Vicky, and this is a card I made for my husband. He likes trucks, and the older, the better. I like this truck because Crackerbox has many things that you can put in the back of the truck. I decided to put in the heart candy.

I masked Candy Heart Med. set of 4 to put in the back of the truck. The way I colored the Big Tree 2 was to dot different shades of green rather than coloring it in solid.

I used the Candy Hearts Sm. set of 2 on the door and put our initials in it.

Stamps Used:

Forever and Ever

Big Tree 2

Truck Side View
