Minions Count Phil Halloween Card

 Are you ready to get your spook on, my friends?  Toni here with you today sharing a not too spooky Minions Halloween card.

I started the card by cutting out "Minions" in a stitched alphabet and coloring them with Copics.

I stamped Count Phil above and used the same reds on his cloak.  I added the Look for Rainbows sentiment, having masked off the "rainbows" portion and replacing it with "minions." LOL--boo!!!

Harry Potter all squared up!

 Hello!  This is Shanna, and I am here today with a fun Harry Potter card featuring some brand-new polymer stamp sets from Crackerbox Stamps!

Today's card features stamps from the following stamp sets:
Harry P 1
Harry P 2
These sets are so MAGICAL and obviously coordinate together seamlessly.  I primarily pulled images from Harry P 1 and then snagged the sentiment from Harry P 2.

The card was created by making what I called "zones" for each image, or set of images I wanted to place on the card.  I kept it symmetrical and used a ruler to help balance.  It is a fun way to set up any theme on a card!

Thanks so much for joining me today. Stop by again soon for another dose of Crackerbox Stamps inspiration!!

Minions Halloween Fun-Fold & Snarky Christmas Cards

 Hello, my friends!  Toni here with you today sharing a couple of cards using Minion characters from the new red rubber release. Let me show you but first take a look at all the cuteness!

My first project is a fun-fold Halloween card. I started my card by creating an easel very simply using an A2 card base where I scored the front at the halfway point, 2-1/8", in this case, and folded it into a mountain.    

 In order for the easel to stay upright, you need to add a little berm on the interior of the card that the front can rest against.  I used a piece of designer paper along with a strip of black glitter washi I had adhered to a piece of black cardstock to give it a bit more height.  I embossed the Don't Scare Me sentiment in white and added a couple of spider enamel dots.

Next I stamped and masked the minions, from left to right: Dave Jumping with Minion 1 bunny ears, Mummy Stuart, Bride Kevin, Ghost Minion, Franken Bob, and Count Phil on a piece of Bristol and watercolored them with Zig Real Brush Markers.  I adhered this panel to only the bottom half of the card base folded panel so that when you mail it, it's completely flat.

As for the speech bubbles, I printed those on my laser printer with Aptos size 9 font, printed with white text on a black fill. They add a bit of extra fun.

For the Christmas card, I stamped Reindeer Stuart using Memento Tuxedo Black and masked the left antler before stamping Blowing Snowflakes.  I colored him up with Copics then added a snowy hill and the hilarious Winter Lovers sentiment balanced out by Snowflake Trio.

 Hello, Janet here with a card for a friend. This pocket card holds a cell phone full of good thoughts.

To make this card, I stamped the pocket on denim paper and cut it out.

Next, I stamped the cell phone, colored it, and cut it out. I also stamped some hashtags, words, and emojis on the phone screen.

The bottom layer is green paper.

Next, I added a layer of white paper with blotches of green and navy ink for color.

I cut that at an angle and attached it to the green layer. I put the pocket on and inserted the cell phone. For the finishing touch, I stamped the word happy on tan paper, attached it to the pocket, and added some brads.

Trick or Treat! A head start on Halloween card

 Hello and welcome!  This is Shanna today with a fun HALLOWEEN card featuring stamps from Crackerbox Stamps!  Is anyone else ready for Fall to hurry up and get here?  This California girl is ready to be d-o-n-e with the heat!  Halloween crafting is one of my favorites, so I pulled out my favorite Halloween kid stamps and had some masking fun for today's card!

Today's card features the following stamps:
Kid Dracula
Kid Mummy
Kid Frankenstein
Kid Witchy
Kid Vamp
Happy Halloween

I started off with my card by stamping my trick-or-treating gang using the masking technique.  To somewhat explain, you start my stamping the image you want to be "in front" of the others, and then cover it with a mask--a fussy cut removable adhesive copy--and then stamp the next images and repeat!  I have had this card in my head for a long time and was excited to see it come to life on paper!

While my masks were still applied over the images, I ink-blended my ground and sky by using masking tape to create a line to blend below and then moving it so I could blend above.  A cheap way to keep a crisp horizon line with ink blending!

After my ink blending, I removed the masks and then got to coloring with my Copics!  I love coloring, so this was right up my alley!

The card was finished by stamping the Happy Halloween sentiment onto my ground layer.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I will see you all again soon with another Crackerbox Stamps, inspired project!  ~Shanna

Snarky Chicken Friendship Card

  Hello, everyone!  Toni here with you today sharing a funny friendship or any occasion card for when you're having one of those days.

This card was super easy to make.  I stamped Miss Prissy and then colored her up with Copics.

I next masked the Miss Prissy sentiment and then added the Go Pluck Yourself.  Both are stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne.

The card felt a touch naked, so I added some fun polka dot washi.
