I stamped all the images: Clyde the Shark and the Seaweed Tall and Coral Sea Plant, the Fish School, and the What Doesn't Kill You sentiment. I then masked the shark with masking paper, and using an airbrush and Copic Markers, I created the ocean floor and water in the background. Then I removed the masking from the shark and colored all the images with Copic Markers.

Sarcasm Card

 Hello crafty friends! Tracy here, and today I have a fun little, slightly snarky card to share that's full of color. Here are all of the details.

Crackerbox Stamps Used:

Paint Brush and Palette

Star Twinkle

Sarcasm

I cut a card front and card base from white cardstock. Using the orange ink, I blended the outside of the card front. Then using the coral ink, I added stars around the edges of the card front.

Stamp the brush and palette onto white cardstock using black ink. Add color to the images using Zig Clean Color Markers and a waterbrush.

Immature Forever Slimline Giraffe Card

 Hello! Nadine here today with an immature forever slimline giraffe card that is perfect for a birthday.

I first die cut out the card front using white cardstock and then matted it with some leaf patterned paper and then some orange patterned paper. Then using two square dies, I cut out the squares in the card front. Using another piece of white cardstock and making sure it was big enough to fit behind the two square cutouts and then lightly traced the squares onto it. Next, I stamped the Rafferty The Giraffe onto the white cardstock piece using the traced lines to gauge where to stamp him. Around the giraffe image, I ink blended some green ink and colored the giraffe with Copic Markers. Then attached the giraffe piece to the back of the card front so the giraffe was looking through the square windows and attached the entire card front to a card base. Then stamped the Immature Forever sentiment above the giraffe on the card front using green and black ink.

A Little Crazy Hyena Card

 Hello! Nadine here today with a crazy hyena card.

I created my background by using a stencil and a blending brush with some yellow inks. Then I stamped the You Should Always Crazy sentiment and also the Psycho Hyena Critter over the stenciled background. I then stamped the Psycho Hyena Critter again on a piece of white cardstock and colored him with Copic Markers. Then fussy cut him out and adhered him over the image I stamped on the background. I did this so the little strands of hair on his head would show after I fussy cut him out. With a light gray Copic Marker, I added some shadows around his feet for some dimension.

Time To Drink Wine Card

Hello friends. Ericka here, and today I have a fun card using the Martini Lady. I might have gotten my drinks mixed up when I paired it with the What Time Is A Good Time sentiment . . . or I might actually like to start with a martini and then go to wine, lol.

In either case, I started with a gel press print I pulled from my stash and stamped the Martini Lady, and heat embossed her with WOW! Embossing Powder in Midnight Blue. I added some shading around the image and then stamped the What Time Is A Good Time sentiment, and heat embossed it in white. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Out of This World Cards

Hello! Thanks so much for stopping by! This is Shanna from Caffeinated Craftiness, and I am excited to share a pair of cards today featuring some fabulous stamps from Crackerbox Stamps.

Ever make a background just to make a background? I wanted to watercolor one day, and I had zero ideas what I would use the finished watercolor sheet on. I played around with some metallic watercolors I have and ended up with a Galaxy-type background. I loved it and then promptly forgot about it in my background drawer! LOL. When I was sorting through things, I came across it, and inspiration struck immediately with these stamps! It was totally meant to be!

Today's cards feature the following Crackerbox Stamps:

Alien Peace

Happy Birthday Earthling

If Aliens Are Smart

Moon Full

Alien Funny Face

Rocket

For the first card, I used the Alien Peace, If Aliens are Smart, and Rocket stamps. I cut my background panel to 4"x 5.25" and matted it only a black A2 card base. Then I heat-embossed my sentiment in white embossing powder onto black cardstock. I used my paper trimmer to cut the right side of the sentiment at an angle for some interest. I attached the sentiment to the lower left corner of my background. The Alien Peace image was colored using Copic markers and then fussy cut it out. I adhered him to where he looked like he was standing on the sentiment strip. The Rocket was also colored with Copic markers and fussy cutout, then adhered to the upper right of the card panel. That finished off this card!

My second card is actually an infinity shaker card. Infinity shakers are made with an acetate pocket that attaches over the entire panel. I used one that fit the 4"x 5.25" background panel and was filled with some embellishments that matched my theme (stars and such). I love my focal point, though, for this card! That alien makes me giggle. I colored the Alien Funny Face and Moon Full stamps with my Copic markers and fussy cut them both out. I layered them in the center of my panel and used a strong wet adhesive to attach them to the center of my shaker panel. My sentiment was heat embossed onto black cardstock and cut into a strip that matched the width of the shaker panel--4.25". I glued the sentiment strip directly onto the shaker panel as well, also hiding the raw edge of the alien at the same time!

That finishes up my post for today! I hope this inspires you to dig through your scraps or unused background and create!

Until next time,

Shanna

Funny Frog Card With Stamp Layering

 Hello! Nadine here today with a funny frog card.

To create my card, I used several stamps and layered them up using masking paper. First, I stamped the Frog with Fly on a white cardstock card front. I then stamped it again on some masking paper and fussy cut it out, and layered the masking paper over the frog. Next, I stamped the Lily Pad over the masked frog and then stamped the lily again on some masking paper, fussy cut it out, and masked off the lily too. With the frog and lily still masked, I then stamped the Cattails on either side of the lily. Then masked the Cattails off. Then, I stamped the Frog's Fly with the OMG! and the Frogs Are Lucky sentiment. I also masked off the Frog's Fly. So all the stamp images were masked off except for the words.

Next, I used a strip of masking tape about at the same level as the frog's head, and below it I ink blended some blue ink for water. I then removed the masking strip but still left all the stamp images masked. I used a cloud stencil and some blue and grey inks to create a sky by ink blending. Then I lightly misted the ink blending with water, and placed a paper towel over it to soak up the water. This gave it a watercolor look. Once dry, I removed all the masking paper off all the images and colored them in with Copic Markers.

Frog with Fly
Lily Pad

Masculine Birthday Card by Martha Lucia

Hello there, Martha Lucia here to share a stamped birthday card featuring the Olesya's Car, the Shoe Prints, and the sentiment Know You're Getting.

Then on a piece of smooth white cardstock, I stamped the Shoe Prints on the left side of the panel using the double stamping technique to obtain different shadows. Then, I stamped the Olesya's Car and colored it with alcohol markers from Spectrum Noir.

On the lower part, I stamped the Know You're Getting sentiment, but this time using a different color of ink, not just black.
