Made for the Moments That Matter

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

This is one of those cards that can say SO many things without saying a word. I wanted to create a card full of emotion, and I think this one does just that.

Could it congratulate someone on the arrival of a new baby? Absolutely! Could it be sent to someone who needs a little encouragement while they’re on the mend? Maybe. Could it be from a friend simply offering a helping hand? Of course!

That’s exactly why I left the sentiment off. There are plenty of emotional, sweet, and quirky sentiments in the store, so you can make this card fit just about any occasion.

I colored the images with alcohol markers, then added depth with watercolor pencils and gel pens. And this little scene is a bit of magical masking! There are FOUR stamps hiding in here. I started with Mouse Sitting Up and the Cracked Egg, masked those, then stamped the Solid Egg and Outline Egg to turn them into a balloon. Finally, I added the Sunflower and Mailbox stamp to bring the whole scene together. I did add a bit of shimmer onto the egg shell, I hope you can see it in the closeup pictures.

Who knew a few stamps, some masking, and a little imagination could create a card with so many possibilities? 

Supply List:

Mouse Sitting Up

Sunflower & Mailbox

Egg Solid & Outline

Cracked Egg

Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

 

Additional Supplies: watercolor pencils, alcohol markers, gel pen, masking paper.

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

Just A Thank You Note Card

 Hello Stampers. Today I am sharing a thank you card made with our spiral stamp.

With school starting soon, the spiral stamp would be fun to use.

I mounted a printed red and white piece of cardstock on the base card.

I stamped the Spiral stamp on cardstock.

The Just A Note and the Tulip were stamped in the center of the spiral.

I cut the saying and spiral out, and then cut a second piece the same size for the Thank You.

I glued just the left side of the 2 pieces of card stock and adhered it to the card.

I put the scrap of white card stock from the note on the top and bottom of the card.

One nice thing about the Spiral stamp is that you can make it as long as you want.

Need a Quick Card? Make one "like no UDDER"!

  Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

Bridgette is the perfect stamp for a quick card! She can be black and white or brown and white—and the only thing you really need to color is her little bell. I decided to go the extra mile (which for a quick card isn’t that far!) and added some stenciled clouds. The patterned paper and the texture of the corrugated piece really help Bridgette take center stage—just like she’s used to! 🐄💛

Did you notice the envelope detail? It took almost no time at all, but it’s such a sweet little touch that gives the recipient a sneak peek of what’s inside. Just a small effort for a big smile!

Hello Greeting Card

 Hello, Janet here with a card that could be used for any occasion for anyone.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, I stamped two feathers on scrap paper, colored them, and cut them out.

I attached the feathers, tied two pieces of brown string around them, and inserted 3 brown brads.  Hello is stamped in the lower left corner in VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. On a larger layer of white cardstock,  I stamped the feathers randomly and colored them lightly. I layered that on brown paper and onto the card. The smaller top layer is then attached.

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
