Duck Valentine Friendship Card

Hello! Timothy here today with a Valentine's Friendship card.

I stamped the background with the Heart Boxers stamp and colored them in with alcohol markers.

I also stamped and colored the Duck Grin stamp and cut around it, leaving a white border. 

I stamped the Happy Valentine's Day Friend Script stamp and used a die cut from my stash to cut it out.

For the inside of the card, I used the Weird Stalker stamp for the sentiment and stamped the Heart Boxers stamp again to tie in with the front of the card.

Stamps Used

Heart Boxers

Duck Grin

Happy Valentine's Day Friend Script

Weird Stalker

Enjoy the rest of your day, and remember to do something you love.

Bathroom Humor Card

 Hello friends! Ericka here, and today, I have a little bathroom humor in a card.

I stamped the Bathtub and Bathtub Life Saying stamps (comes in a set) on a white card base using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and clear embossed it. I colored up the image with some Sharpies and used some blue ink to lightly blend ink around the edges. I added a hand drawn border to finish my card. I love these humorous stamps for quick cards to make friends smile. Check out some more fun ones here.

Triple Layer Winter Fairy Card

Hello and Welcome!  This is Shanna from Caffeinated Craftiness, and I am here with a new card to share today featuring stamps from Crackerbox Stamps! Ever want to just stamp??  I mean no coloring, no embossing--just ink--stamps--and paper!  This card is the result of that.

STAMPS USED:
Fairy Blowing Stars
Pine Branch
Snowflakes (set of three) *also available individually*

This card uses a triple-layer stamping technique. That means you take a set of three different pieces of cardstock and stamp them on each other prior to stamping. My layers were: 4" x 5.25", 3.25" x 4.5", 2.5" x 3.75"

I stamped all of the stamping while these three layers were centered on each other.  Then, I separated the layers and matted each with the following mats: 4.25 x 5.5", 3.5" x 4.75", 2.75" x 4"

All that was left was to adhere the layers to the mats and then on each other!  I love how simple this technique is once all the math is done! LOL. 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed today's project.  See you all again soon!

Snarky Marriage Card

 Hello friends! Ericka here, and today I have a fun, snarky card for the married people in your life.

 I love the fun Marriage Is Like sentiment, and for my card today, I paired it with the Cards Suit Hand. I used some Lindy's Magical sprays on my background, and once it was dry, white heat embossed the Marriage Is Like sentiment. On a separate piece of paper, I stamped the Cards Suit Hand with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and clear embossed it. I fussy cut the cards out and attached them to my background with foam tape. Thank you for stopping by, and if you love a little snark, be sure to check out these fun sentiments!

Masculine Snarky cards 2 Ways | New Sketch Series Debut

Hello and welcome!  This is Shanna here today with a brand new card series for 2024!  12 Sketches - 24 Card challenge!  Every month on the 24th I will be creating not one, but TWO new cards featuring a variety of fabulous stamps from Crackerbox Stamps - each month featuring a different sketch I have sourced online.  I love creating with sketches, and I love even more the versatility a sketch can still provide within the construct of being pre-designed for me!  So, without further ado--here are cards one and two!

For these cards, I found a sketch on Pinterest that appealed to me and allowed a lot of creative liberties.  The blog no longer seems active, but that is the beauty of sketches--they don't typically require step-by-step instructions!

Products used in today's cards:

Big Head Ed

Be The Fun

Rock, Paper, Scissors

For the first card, I stuck more or less to the card sketch, except I turned it landscape in orientation.  I pulled some masculine papers from my stash and coordinate them together.  For background interest I stamped Big Head Ed all over the pattern paper--I love the dual pattern this provided and it made for a great background!  Be The Fun fit near-perfect on the 1 3/4" x 2 1/4" mat that was sketched as well!

For my second card, I kept the portrait orientation but chose to add additional mats to each layer. The amount of depth and interest this adds to the card is amazing--and easily done!  All I did was add a quarter inch to each dimension to have a mat for each piece.  I staggered the two focal rectangles slightly further down as well, and popped Big Head Ed up with some foam tape after fussy cutting him out. Rock, Paper, Scissors fit perfectly on the mat!

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed my projects today!  If you'd like further details on the products used or want to check out more of my projects, be sure to head over to my blog! I will be back soon with more red-rubber inspiration from Crackerbox Stamps!!

Carry Some Crazy Snarky Card

 Happy New Year, Crackerbox Stamps fans!!!  This is Shanna today with a simple and fun card featuring a few fabulous stamps from Crackerbox Stamps!

STAMPS USED:
Pocket
You Should Always Crazy

This card used a scrap of one of my gel press prints I had kept--I stamped the Pocket stamp onto it in black ink and then fussy cut it out.  I love the texture the Gelli print gave it!  I stamped my sentiment directly onto the pocket using navy ink and my MISTI. Then I ink blended an A2 panel with Distress Oxide inks in teals and blued to compliment the pocket before adding it to the panel with some foam tape.  

The beauty of this card is in its simplicity!  I love adding embellishments, ribbon, glitter, and other things to my cards--but this one didn't need any of that!

I hope you are having a fabulous start to 2024. I will see you again soon!

Snarky Christmas Tag

Hello, crafty friends! Ericka here, and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Today I am starting on some Christmas tags for the holiday. And as always, with every holiday, you need a little humor to get you through.

I love the Fun and Games sentiment and thought it would go well with the Side Reindeer who might have been getting into trouble with some Christmas Lights.  I started with a gel press print I made with the Holly Branch and then cut a smaller tag to go in front. I stamped my Reindeer and Lights, colored them with colored pencils, and cut them out. I love this fun reindeer; he goes well with just about any sentiment. I stamped, and white heat embossed the sentiment to finish my snarky tag. Thank you for stopping by, and don't forget to shop the sale going on now!
