It's 5 o'Clock Somewhere

I don't know about you, but Clara here has the right idea! Toni here today, getting my party on.

I used a stencil along with Ranger Candied Apple Distress Ink and Catherine Pooler Something Borrowed to create the background.

Next, I colored up Clara with Cocktail Variations using Copics. Of course, I then decided it was too difficult to see Clara against that fab background, so I added a vellum panel.  Much better!

And is there a sentiment other than What Time Is a Good Time that pairs so well with the scene? I will continue to search for it!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

Have a great rest of your day!

Clean and simple, or with a few extra details?

 Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!   

A or B? Clean and simple, or with a few extra details?
My family unanimously voted for A, but I had that creative itch to see B finished, too. You know that feeling... once you’ve stayed in the crafty barn too long, curiosity takes over. 🐄✨

Honestly, I think both versions turned out fun and would be a joy to make or receive.

I started by stamping Cow Bridgette (small) and masking her before stamping Barn Variations (large) in the background. I colored everything using my favorite technique: starting with alcohol markers, then adding shadows with watercolor markers, and finishing with highlights using a white gel pen.

For version A, I kept things clean and simple.

For version B, I stamped an extra Bridgette, fussy cut her, and added a fence post die cut along with some grass for extra dimension. I also stamped the Your Day sentiment, cut it into pieces, and arranged it to complete the scene.

Both cards have their own charm... but now I’m curious; are you Team A or Team B? 

All stamps used are from Crackerbox Stamps. 

Supply List:

Cow Bridgette (small)

Barn Variations (large)

Your Day (large)

VersaFine Clair Acorn Ink

Additional Supplies: Alcohol Markers, White Gel pen, Brown Marker, Pattern Papers and dies.

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

A Retirement Card

Hello Fellow Stampers.

Here is to retirement and the easy life. Retirement is a major change in our lives.

Congratulations to the person who is retiring. No more alarms, and no more packed lunches.

Instead looking forward to lazy days and new adventures.

I started with a purple card. I cut down white cardstock and stamped

Cindy Holding Hand, and colored her.

I use the Grinch Wine Glass, stamped it, and cut it out so I didn't have to mask it.

Goodbye Tension was stamped and cut out with a die.

I cut a larger circle with the same purple as the card.

Thanks for looking and have a creative day!

We Still Rock

Age is just a number, we are only as old as we act.

 I started with a maroon card base.

I layered an embossed pink cardstock on top. I stamped the Inner You

and We Still Rock stamps on light pink paper and used stitched square dies to cut them out.

To finish the card, I added three decorative brads. Thanks for stopping by.

My card is one layer card with dimensions. First, I stamped the sentiment We Still Rock on the right side of white smooth cardstock using Memento Ink in Bamboo Leaves color.  Then, with VersaFine Onix Ink, I stamped the Inner You image.

Snarky Retirement Card

Hi Everybody! Cornelia here today. Crackerbox Stamps had a few fabulous new releases, as you probably know!

 Some of the products I have used have been provided to me from various companies I design for. Affiliate links may be used in the links provided below. 

I first stamped the bunny, masked it, and then stamped the outhouse. Colored them with Copics. Took an Exacto knife and cut out the door. Heat embossed the sentiment onto some scrap pieces of brown cardstock. Glued it to the back of the card, did some more masking, and sponged a bit for the background. Added the sentiment.

The stamps I used:

Outhouse

Officially Retired

Way to go

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting!

Happy Stamping!

Bathroom Humor Card by Martha Lucia

Hello there! Martha Lucia is here to share a bathroom humor card from our most recent release. Definitely, this new collection makes you smile always! With these new stamps, just let your imagination and humor fly, and you can create easy projects just like I did.

I am using the Toilet Roll on Holder Stamp on this card, and the sentiment Job Isn't Finished. First, I created the card base using Melon CenturaPearl cardstock. Then, I cut the second layer a little smaller than the card base. I just die-cut a lateral border with the Create Slimline Borders to decorate it. 

On a separate piece of White Smooth Cardstock, I stamped the Toilet Roll on Holder Stamp and covered it with Spectrum Noir Glossy Highlights to add texture and shine. When the paper was dry, I fussy cut it with scissors and pasted it over the decorated card base leaving a space down to stamp the sentiment Job Isn't Finished. As a final touch, I pasted the decorated layer over the card base using crafty foam tape to add more dimension and enhance the gorgeous design of the border.

Officially Retired Card

Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have another fun card to share using the fabulous and fun new stamps from Crackerbox Stamps. Here are all of the details. 

Crackerbox Stamps Used:

Officially Retired
Toilet Roll on Holder
Toilet Roll and Plunger

First, I cut the patterned paper layers for the card front from patterned paper, and the A2 card base from white cardstock. Take the light teal patterned paper layer and stamp a border of mini toilet paper. Adhere the darker teal patterned paper layer to the stamped lighter layer. Adhere to the card front.

Stamp the toilet paper on the holder onto white cardstock using black ink. I then stamped the sentiment onto the toilet paper. Add color to the image using Zig Clean Color Markers and a water brush. Fussy cut out the image and adhere to the card front using foam squares. I added Stickles to the holder for just a little bit of sparkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
