I stamped the Wild Foliage with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white cardstock. It is a solid stamp, so no coloring needed. Next I stamped the word sorry in the lower right corner with VeraFine Clair Nocturne Ink. Layering the stamped image on black and putting those layers on black and white designed paper.

Hello friends! Ericka here, and today I have a simple and snarky card using the new Grant Me Serenity sentiment.

I love this sentiment, and it may or may not be how I feel as we end the school year, lol. I stamped the Big Tree 2 in Versafine Clair Rainforest and colored it up with my Distress Pencil set.

Thank You Very Much Card

Hello, thanks for stopping by. Vicky is here today with a couple of similar cards. Both quick and easy. I needed a couple of thank you cards for a couple of sweet people. They are a little late, so I needed to make them quickly.

I stamped Thank You Very Much Script for this card and used a circle punch to cut the saying out. I edged the circle with green ink. I put the circle on the white sheet and used a pencil and lightly raced around it so I knew where to stamp the vines. I stamped Branch Herb 1 with light green around the circle. Bush Herb 3 was stamped in medium green. The Viney Vine was stamped in dark green. I used a corner punch and rounded the corners.

This card I stamped Pot Leaf Set Of 2 with light green ink all over the card. I stamped the saying Thank You Very Much Script and punched it out. The tan cardstock was cut slightly bigger than the circle and used the corner punch.

Live and Dream Inspirational Autumn Card

Hi Everybody! Cornelia here today. I made this card with some of the older stamps from Crackerbox Stamps. They are still fabulous and just need to see some ink every once in a while.

I first masked a strip on my card. I sponged it with yellow, red, and brown distress inks. Stamped the leaves and let everything dry thoroughly. Then I stamped the small leaf with Versamark and heat embossed it in white. Added a bit of color to the white leaf and stamped the sentiment. 

The stamps I used: 

Skeleton Leaf 2

(Skeleton Leaves Set of 3- didn't use all of the leaves in this set but its a great bundle deal)

Chestnut Leaf

Skeleton Leaf Birch

Sentiment

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting!

Embossed Sympathy Butterfly Tree Card

 I hope you are all doing well and Happy Mother's Day. As with most holidays, there is lots of happiness but also a sense of loss and remembrance for those who have passed. Today I have a sympathy card I made for my sister-in-law whose mother recently passed away.

 

I started my card with a base I made using pigment powders and a plastic sheet. I lightly dusted the powder on my card, spritzed it with water, and then used some leftover plastic to smoosh it around.

Once my background was dry, I used Versamark ink and clear heat embossed the Those We Love sentiment. I then stamped and gold heat embossed the Blowing Butterfly Tree. I love this tree and added a little gray shading to the tree to help it stand out.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great week.

A Spruce Tree Christmas Card

Hello crafty friends! Maria Pilar is here. We are very close to Christmas and I wanted to make a card with two of the most representative elements: a spruce tree and a reindeer. 

I made a CAS card with layers. For the base, I used kraft cardstock and pasted a red cardstock over it. On the white cardboard that I used later, I stamped the Spruce Tree and the message Merry Christmas.  First of all, I used green ink and, once it was dry, I stamped it with gold ink. In this way, I got a beautiful and shiny effect. Also, I put a few drops of red Liquid Pearls on the ends of the tree's leaves.

After that, I stamped Doe Sm reindeer with black ink and brown color making a shadow next to the Spruce Tree.

Some gold sequins are the final touch for my card.

You can find all these stamps at Crackerbox&SuzyStamps store HERE

Thanks for stopping by and have a very nice day!

Thinking of You Card

Hello crafty friends,

Melinda back with you again! Today I am sharing a pretty card I created featuring the Viney Wreath, Viney Vine, Plaid Background, Olesya's Butterfly and Thinking of You stamps. Here is a look at my finished card.

It is a standard A2, top folding card. I started with a Kraft cardstock base.

I cut a scallop stitched circle from one of my die cuts. I then proceeded to stamp the Viney wreath stamp with my brown ink. I then used some green ink and stamped the Viney Vine around the wreath. For the background mat, I stamped the Plaid background stamp using some blue ink onto some blue cardstock for a tone on tone look.

To the wreath, I added some sequins and then used some light blue ink to stamp my Thinking of you sentiment.

Finally I stamped the pretty Olesya's Butterfly stamp with some blue ink and then colored it with my Copic Markers. I then used just a touch of my Sparkle pen to add a little sparkle to the body of the butterfly. I then used a little foam tape to give it some lift.

Here is one last look at my finished card. I think it turned out very pretty.

Stamps Used

Viney Wreath

Viney Vine

Plaid Background

Olesya's Butterfly

Thinking of You
