You Rock Minion Stamped Card

Happy Saturday! Maria Pilar here sharing a fun card with Minion Bob and Minion Phil stamps from Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps

I really love the Minion stamps and these two friends and I found these two friends ideal to appear together on my card. After stamping Minion Bob and Minion Phil along with the saying You rock on white cardboard, I colored them in with Copic markers. Then I stamped the Corner 1 Stamp in the corners with Distress Oxide Fossilized Amber to frame the card like a painting. As my Minions are dressed in jeans, I glued some enamel dots in blue to complete the decoration of my card. And when all this was ready, I glued it on a yellow base card.

What do you think of the combination of yellow with blue?

Thanks for stopping by and happy weekend!

A Minion Bananas Slimline Birthday Card

Hello, Nadine here today with a fun minion bananas slimline birthday card. 

I first stamped the Minion Carl Being Happy Stamp toward the bottom of my card and then stamped the Unless You're A Banana Sentiment towards the top of my card. Then stamped the Banana Single Stamp three times to make it look like Carl was throwing them up in the air.

I then colored in Carl and the Bananas with Copic Markers. After I got it all colored in I decided that the background was too plain. So using my airbrush and a stencil, I added some design by airbrushing with a light yellow Copic Marker.

Quick & Easy Halloween Cards by Nadine Carlier

Hello! Nadine here today with two quick and easy Halloween cards.

 I created the background with a stencil and a Gel Press and white acrylic paint. For the Crabby Cat and Black Cats Prowl stamps, I stamped them in VersaMark and then heat embossed them with black embossing powder.

Because of the shine from the embossing powder, the Black Cats Prowl sentiment is hard to read in the photos but it says, "When black cats prowl and pumpkins gleam may luck be yours on Halloween!"

For the Minion Count Phil card. I colored the Minion with Copic Markers and fussy cut him out. Then heat embossed the Frightfully Spooky sentiment with yellow embossing powder.

Don't forget to visit the STORE and check out all of the Halloween & Birthday stamps that are 20% OFF this month.

Just add them into your cart and you will then see the discount on the stamps once they are in your cart.

Thank you for stopping by and happy crafting!

Creating a Handmade Card with Fun and Easy Masking

 Hi everyone! It's Lindsay here with you today, and I have a new card to share with you all. If you didn't know, one of my favorite cardmaking techniques is masking. It is one of those neverending versatile techniques that you can manipulate so many different fun ways. Today, I'm using masking in a very easy way to create a very fun background.

This card looks pretty similar and uses the same background stamps I used on my card today. The difference is instead of masking around the bananas and coloring in with ink blending. I masked the bananas with circles and ink blended around the stamped areas. Then, I colored each banana stamp with alcohol markers! But I absolutely adore this minion card! 

But onto today's card. Like I said, I used the "Banana Bunch" and "Banana Single" stamps to create a quick stamped background. Then I die cut several circles from masking paper and covered each stamped image. I also added more circle masks and overlapped them to create some clusters, too.

Then, I ink blended over the top. And finally, I pulled off the masks and colored in each image with alcohol markers to create this super quick background!

To finish the front of the card, I stamped the "Birthday 1" sentiment onto a strip of white cardstock, matted it with kraft cardstock, and attached the strip to the background. This sentiment is one of my favorites and I've used it many times!

As much as I love the outside of this card, you may be wondering why in the world you need banana stamps. Well, that's because there is this awesome sentiment from Crackerbox and Suzy Stamps called "Unless You're a Banana". It is the PERFECT funny and playful sentiment for anyone's birthday!

I stamped it on the inside of the card base and added a very light yellow stamped "Banana Bunch" behind it to finish this fun and simple masked card!

I hope you all enjoyed a look at this fun and easy handmade card and, the older card I made using these stamps, too! If you are interested in any of the stamps I used on my card today, you can find them all listed and linked down below! Until next time, happy crafting.

Fun with Minions

Hi Everybody! 

Cornelia here today. I had some fun with those minions from Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps.

I used this month technique - masking for my card. I stamped the  3 minions - Carl being Happy, Bob golfing and Kevin golfing. I colored them with water brush pens and markers. I did turn Kevin's gold club into a tennis racket. I masked all three of them and sponged the green oval so they have something to stand on. Added the sentiment, which I printed on my computer. I doodled around the sentiment.

To A Great Dad

HI Stamper!
How is your summer going? I hope you are having a great summer, even with all of the restrictions.
Our Father's Day will be different then it has been in the past, but we will make the best of it.

 Here is the card I made for Father's Day for a dad who likes the Minions.

Happy Carl

Kevin

Carl

Great Dad

This card did not end up the way I had expected it to look. 

Have you ever had that happen?

I dropped an ink pad on the bottom of the card AFTER all of the coloring was done. GRRR

So, what to do...cut it off!

So I wasn't sure what to do. I decided to use the bottom of the card for a flap.

I added the saying, folded over the bottom of the card stock to the bottom of the saying and cut off the excess of card stock.

Special Part Of My Life

Then I stenciled the bricks.

Thanks for stopping by,

Stay healthy and happy

Vicky Briggs
