Snarky Day Drinker Pirate Card

It's summer and time to hit the water if you're able. Toni here serving as your captain today. 

I stamped and colored up J. Sparrow using Copics. I had originally planned to just use the Makes You a Pirate sentiment, but it seemed lonely on the card front. I love clean and simple, but sometimes a card calls for a bit more decoration, you know? 

So, I searched my stash and found a gold-flecked parchment-like paper that went well with the Treasure Map stamp, which balanced out the image nicely.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great rest of your day! For a full list of products used and to see my other projects, just visit my blog, Frankie Helps Craft.

Up, Up and Away!

Hello, Janet here with a birthday card for my pilot friend.

First, I used  Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and the Airliner stamp on white cardstock. Using Copic markers, I colored the plane. Then I used a soft brush to add some light blue to the cardstock. It's Your Birthday is stamped with VersaFine Ink in the upper left corner.  I layered that onto light blue paper.  A gold star brad was inserted into each corner. I cut a piece of light blue star paper and wrapped a wide twine ribbon around it. The stamped image is put on at an angle. Shiny gold foil is the bottom layer.

Stamps Used

Airliner

It's Your Birthday

Cheeky April Fool's Day Card

Hello, everyone!  Toni here. April Fool's Day is upon us, and thus, I thought I would create a funny card with a bit of humor.

I die-cut my card front with a trail of stars, then stamped the Fairy Godfather Patrick image so that they emanated from his backside (yes, think farts--such a man joke).

The smile on his face is perfect for this--LOL.  I stamped the Leave a Little Sparkle sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne, then added a yellow glitter backer behind the stars before adhering the front to the card base.

Thanks a Minion!!

 

Hello and welcome!  This is Shanna today with another fun project featuring stamps from     Crackerbox Stamps!

Today’s project is a quick and easy one featuring the following products:

Minion 1 Clear Polymer Stamps Set 

Thanks a Minion

The card was created using a “spare” background from my pile of gel press prints I tend to have in a drawer lol.  When I use my gel plates I make a lot of prints—but don’t use them all. So I cut them down to A2 size and they are my go to when I am stuck on what type of background I want for a card. I loved how the inky blue worked with the Minion in this case. The colored him with my Copic markers and the fussy cut him out. The sentiment was stamped directly onto the background.

Thanks for stopping by!  See you all again soon

Humorous Cheeky Squirrel Card

Hello, friends!  Toni here sharing a humorous, naughty squirrel Valentine/birthday card.

I think the Chuck the Squirrel image is super cute and had planned to use the sentiments included with the Set of 3 but decided to instead use As You Get Older.

I embossed the card front in 3D hearts and lightly sponged over that with a darker green.  I sponged the pink leafy border in a darker pink, too.

I colored up Chuck with Copics and adhered him to the card front.  I had planned to an acetate backing for the sentiment but instead used a fussy cut layer of vellum.

Light Up Christmas Story Leg Lamp Card

 Hello, friends!  Toni here sharing an interactive holiday card inspired by the movie, A Christmas Story.

I started my card by coloring up the leg lamp from Leg Lamp & Sayings Set of 3.  I then built the aperture needed to accommodate the Chibi light underneath the window, using a piece of plaid "wallpaper" to hide the copper tape.  I used a paper doily for the valance for a vintage touch.

A heart indicates where you need to push to get the lamp to light up.  I stamped the electric sex quote from the movie on the interior of the card.  I think this one will give someone a good giggle.
