Mixed Media Coffee Lovers Card

Toni here with you today, sharing a sassy little vintage mixed media coffee card.

I spattered the card front with Distress Ink sprays, then layered dictionary collage tissue paper on top. I stamped and embossed the I Mean Coffee sentiment and Coffee Cup Top View Heart.

For the Lady with Coffee, I stamped and embossed her on vellum, then used some patterned paper scraps behind her collar, cup, teeth, and hair. This allows her to show up really well but still have some transparency. For an added pop of color, I spattered some blue glossy spray and used a red pen to highlight a few of the words.  The shine is just dreamy.

Cupid Valentine Cards

Toni here with you today, sharing a vintage inspired Cupid Valentine card with a snarky twist.

 I created a striped background using a variety of solid cardstock with a scalloped border.  It would have been very easy to simply cut strips of cardstock in a variety of colors, piece them together, and cut them to the size of the card front.  Either way, you are able to create a variety of card fronts at once to make each card unique.

I stamped and embossed the Cupid (isn't he sweet?!) in gold on vellum.  I masked and stamped the Weird Stalker sentiment as well.  I then cut out the pair out with a scalloped circle die. I used two layers of vellum to limit transparency.

On the inside of the card, I stamped the remainder of the Weird Stalker sentiment and applied a couple of strips of washi.  Cracks me up!

Vibrant Galentine Card

Hi!  Toni here with you today, sharing my first project for Crackerbox Stamps, a Galentine card.  Woo hoo!

I used a stencil and embossing folder with mostly Catherine Pooler inks, including Flirty Fuschia and Be Mine, to create that vibrant background.

I Love You Friend Card

A good friend is worth more than gold!

I colored the adorable Bear with Heart using alcohol markers and cut it out, leaving a white border.

I pulled color inspiration from the pattern paper and created borders around the image, as well as the Don't Love You sentiment stamp. Before adhering to the sentiment, I wrapped some ribbon around the

top of the card and attached a bow on top.

This card can be used for Valentine's Day, as a Birthday card, or a Thinking of You card.

Hogs & Kisses Valentine's Day Shaker Card

 Hello! Nadine here today with a hogs & kiss Valentine's Day shaker card.

To create my card, I first stamped the Hedgehog with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, and then colored it with Copic markers and fussy cut it out. Next, I die-cut out a circle on the front panel piece of my card. Used some Scor-Tape around the backside of the panel around the circle and adhered some acetate. On the front, above the cutout circle, I stamped the Hogs & Kisses sentiment. I added foam squares all the way around the circle, making sure that the spaces between each one were small enough so that the Love In A Tin shaker pieces couldn't fit through. I added more foam squares around the outer edges of the front card panel and adhered it to my card front. Then I adhered the cute Hedgehog to the front of my card and added a few of the gems from the Love In A Tin around the sentiment.

STAMPS USED:
Hedgehog & Kisses Set

A Valentine Sunset Card With Silhouette Stamps

Hi everyone! This is Shanna today with a brand new card using stamps from Crackerbox Stamps!

STAMP USED:
Happy Valentines Day Script
Two Cats in an Tree
Circus Border

The card started by ink blending some clouds using inks and a stencil from my stash—but then the magic really happened when I used my MISTI platform to position and stamp these beautiful stamps using black ink!  I definitely recommend using a stamp positioning tool for this technique, especially when using stamps that are solid/silhouettes.  That will allow the ability to re-ink and stamp again for more solid or darker coverage.  A juicy ink pad helps, too, for this.

Do you enjoy designing Valentines to give out to friends and family too??
Thanks for stopping by today—see you all again soon!

Masculine Valentine For A Sweetheart

Hello Craft Friend. I am Vicky, and this is a card I made for my husband. He likes trucks, and the older, the better. I like this truck because Crackerbox has many things that you can put in the back of the truck. I decided to put in the heart candy.

I masked Candy Heart Med. set of 4 to put in the back of the truck. The way I colored the Big Tree 2 was to dot different shades of green rather than coloring it in solid.

I used the Candy Hearts Sm. set of 2 on the door and put our initials in it.

Stamps Used:

I Love You Just the Way You Are Card

Hi Everybody, Cornelia here today. Since Valentine's Day is coming, I figured a love-themed card is in order! I have made a similar card in the past - CASeing myself if you will...

I first stamped the heart with Versamark. Shifted the card a bit in my Misti and stamped it again with Versafine Clair black ink. Heat embossed with clear embossing powder. This way you get that white shadow. I masked a strip and sponged/brushed with distress inks. Added black splatters. Stamped the sentiment.

The stamps I used: 
Swirly Hearts
Just the way you are

I hope you liked this. Thanks for visiting!
Happy Stamping!
