So Sorry Sympathy Card

Hello, this is Janet with a super simple card. Is is quick and easy to make. I like to have a few sympathy cards on hand. 

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.

Happy Birthday

 Happy Birthday To You, Happy Birthday To You!
Hello, This is Janet Sharing a Birthday Card with you.
This is a cheery birthday card for anyone. I chose fall colors for this card. First, I stamped the Lupin Leaves with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flowers with Copic markers. Then, I used the VersaFine Nocturne Ink to stamp Happy Birthday with notes. I cut two of the corners of the stamped paper at an angle. I layered that on gold-colored cardstock. The last layer is on the gold checkered paper. 

Thank you for looking at this simple fall card.

GOOD MORNING!

Miss Prissy peeking through the fence to say hello!
To make this card I stamped Miss Prissy in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored her. I layered her on a piece of straw design paper. Then I cut a slit in the middle of paper that looked like chicken wire, rolled it back so she could peek out. Attached that and put it on barn siding paper. I stamped Hi Chick in the bottom right corner with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink .This was a very simple card to make. Thanks for taking a look!

Minion Mischief and Easy Card Backgrounds

 Hello and welcome!  This is Shanna today for Crackerbox Stamps  and I have a brand new card featuring our favorite yellow-banana loving- mischeif makers!! MINIONS!


Today's card features the following stamps:
I had a lot of fun coloring Sassy Dave and his Fart Gun!  I fussy cut them both off, cutting around Dave's arm so he could "hold" the Fsrt Gun more effectively *hehe*.  

My background was made by ink Smooshing distress oxides onto watercolor paper.  Oxides are a lot of fun for this technique because they have the ability to "layer" on top of each other since the are somewhat opaque.  The key to not having the colors overman together is allowing the colors to dry before adding one on top.  I used Squeezed Lemonade, Blueprint Sketch, and Lost Shadow to create my background.

Once the background was completely dry I heat embossed my If People are Talking sentiment and stamped the Poof onto the background panel in black and gray inks.  The focal images were added to the panel using liquid adhesive to keep it simpler to mail.  

Thanks so much for dropping by!  Be sure to return again soon for another dose of Crackerbox Stamps inspiration!

Harry Potter Holiday Card for Muggles

Hello, everyone!  Toni here with you today sharing a Harry Potter holiday card featuring Ron.


I started my card by stamping the Santa hat from the Minion 1 set.  I masked the hat then stamped Ron from the Harry P 1 set.  I stamped him again so I could paper piece his robe's collar and his hands with cuffs, and also stamped him on a piece of plaid paper for his hand-me-down robe.

I colored him up using Copics then paper-pieced his outfit.  I really like how that turned out.  For the sentiment, I combined the Holiday Greetings Harry and Happy Birthday Muggle stamps.  I sponged the edges of the card base rather heavily with Distress Oxide Mustard Seed and added a snowflake border.

Love Bites!

 Hello Janet here with another cute Vampire Halloween Minion!


I stamped the Vampire Carl, colored him and cut him out. Then I started layering paper on the white card stock, black and then red. The top layer is bat printed paper that I rounded the lower right corner. I put the Vampire Carl on a piece of gray scalloped paper so he looks like he is coming out of the sky and attached that in the upper left corner. Love Bites is stamped in the very left corner. I drew some fangs and cut them out to add a little more bite to the card!

Hermione Is Stirring UP Some Magic

 Hello Stampers. Vicky is here today with some magic.
I hope you got to see Crackerbox Stamps' new polymer stamps. I used one of the sets with most of the stamps I used on this card. The saying is from the new rubber stamp release that we just did.
I embossed the background and lightly stippled some gray ink over it.
I stamped the saying on white cardstock and used the same gray ink to stipple over it.

Stamps Used:
Hope you enjoyed the card. Have a great day.
