Jaws: Minion's Version

Happy summer, friends!  Toni here today with another card inspired by the latest Minion movie, Monsters & Minions. Do you recognize the movie reference here?

I die-cut two panels with a wave die and layered them upon the card base, which I had sponged and spattered.

Next, I stamped and colored up Dave Jumping, positioning him between the waves so it looks like he's swimming . . . in Jaws the Shark-infested waters.

Doesn't he realize that What Doesn't Kill You makes you stronger, except sharks?!!  The fool!

Be sure to check out the 25% off sale on Minion stamps. There are lots of other amazing stamps that you could use with them too!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

Wassup?! Scary Movie Minion

Happy summer, friends! Toni here today with you to kick off the summer of Minions, including a sale on all Minions in the shop!

The Minions are ridiculously cute and I love using them in cardmaking. Couple that with my love of stretching my supplies in unexpected ways and you have the perfect mash up!

I was inspired by the new Minions & Monsters movie to create a series of cards based on--you guessed it--Hollywood movies.  The first is inspired by the satirical Scary Movies series, with #6 releasing earlier this year.

I stamped then masked the Cell Phone before stamping the Ghost Minion on the screen. I drew in the ghost face mask--and it looks it which makes it even funnier to me.

Next, I sponged the background in blue and embossed the Hashtags Snarky. I balanced the phone using  whimsical alphabet dies. And I had to use up that background pattern paper.  Just too cute!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

Green With Envy

Hi, for today's card, I started with a 6x6 green card base. Next I added a 5 3/4 square layer of polka dot pattern paper. I stamped the Lady (Sassy Cindy) with Holding Hand stamp and colored her with alcohol markers. I used postage dies and layered the image on top. Next I stamped the Unmedicated stamp and cut it out with a stitched rectangle die. To finish my card, I used a hole punch to cut black glitter cardstock for my five embellishments. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day.

Life Is A Picnic

Hi Fellow Crafters. Vicky here today using some of our food and summer stamps.

With summer officially started, the warm weather and sunny days are finally here, and you know what that means... PICNIC TIME! These ants are going to have their own picnic. They are hard at work, marching in line, carrying off tasty morsels and sweet treats to their hidden underground picnic paradise. I made this card with some of Crackerbox Stamps delicious summer food stamps.

I stamped the saying, Life's A Picnic, and it is in a set of 4 stamps, Picnic Set of 4. This set also includes the picnic basket and the blanket I used, and it also includes a pie. I used a die to cut out the words and frame.

The Ant Picnic sign was stamped and colored.

The Marching Ants were stamped and mounted on printed cardstock.

The 2 larger ants carrying away the food come in a set of 3.

The Watermelon was stamped and colored.

The inside saying, Grilly Great was stamped with VersaFine.

Stamps Used:

Life's A Picnic, Picnic Basket, Blanket

Ant Picnic sign

Marching Ants

Watermelon

I know this card has a lot of stamps, but you can use some of them to make a really great card.

Have a wonderful 4th!

Moo-d Boosting Card

 Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!   

Got a friend who’s feeling under the weather? A handmade card like this is sure to bring a smile.

For this card, I used Cow Bridgette (large) paired with the Herd You Were Sick sentiment for the perfect get-well combo. The Hay Stack stamp ties everything together, creating a fun and cozy background scene.

Add in a few patterned paper scraps that fit the farm theme, and just like that, you’ve got yourself a cheerful GET WELL SOON card guaranteed to brighten someone’s day.

This one has such a fun farmhouse charm... cute, comforting, and just the right amount of moo-d boosting.

All stamps used are from Crackerbox Stamps. 

Supply List:

Cow Bridgette (large)

Hay Stack

Herd You Were Sick 

VersaFine Clair Acorn Ink

Additional Supplies: Ink, feathers, Pattern Papers and dies.

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

It's 5 o'Clock Somewhere

I don't know about you, but Clara here has the right idea! Toni here today, getting my party on.

I used a stencil along with Ranger Candied Apple Distress Ink and Catherine Pooler Something Borrowed to create the background.

Next, I colored up Clara with Cocktail Variations using Copics. Of course, I then decided it was too difficult to see Clara against that fab background, so I added a vellum panel.  Much better!

And is there a sentiment other than What Time Is a Good Time that pairs so well with the scene? I will continue to search for it!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card.

Clean and simple, or with a few extra details?

 Hi Everyone, Dalis HERE!   

A or B? Clean and simple, or with a few extra details?
My family unanimously voted for A, but I had that creative itch to see B finished, too. You know that feeling... once you’ve stayed in the crafty barn too long, curiosity takes over. 🐄✨

Honestly, I think both versions turned out fun and would be a joy to make or receive.

I started by stamping Cow Bridgette (small) and masking her before stamping Barn Variations (large) in the background. I colored everything using my favorite technique: starting with alcohol markers, then adding shadows with watercolor markers, and finishing with highlights using a white gel pen.

For version A, I kept things clean and simple.

For version B, I stamped an extra Bridgette, fussy cut her, and added a fence post die cut along with some grass for extra dimension. I also stamped the Your Day sentiment, cut it into pieces, and arranged it to complete the scene.

Both cards have their own charm... but now I’m curious; are you Team A or Team B? 

All stamps used are from Crackerbox Stamps. 

Supply List:

Cow Bridgette (small)

Barn Variations (large)

Your Day (large)

VersaFine Clair Acorn Ink

Additional Supplies: Alcohol Markers, White Gel pen, Brown Marker, Pattern Papers and dies.

Thankful Fore You

Hello, for today's card, I started with a green card base. Next I layered a piece of blue cardstock, followed by a piece of plaid pattern paper. I used green cardstock and a grass die and layered that on top of the plaid paper. I colored the Bob Golfing stamp and popped him up with foam squares. I cut out a stitched tag in green card stock and created the sentiment using the One In A Minion and Thanks stamps. I cut the word "fore" in black cardstock using alphabet dies and layered it on blue cardstock. I stapled some bakers twine to the top of the tag and added it to the card with foam squares. To finish the card, I added three sequins. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day.

Kids Celebrating The 4th Of July Card

Hello Stampers. Vicky here today. Are you getting ready for our 250th anniversary?

I am getting into the patriotic spirit to celebrate the 4th of July with a silhouette stamp of kids marching proudly, holding the American flag as they pave the way for a brighter future!

I started with stamping the 4th Of July Kids with VersaFine Black.

I cut a blue piece of cardstock for the top. I needed something up there, but wasn't sure what I wanted.

I saw the flag pin on my desk, so I cut off the back and used it on the card.

I had a smaller piece of red cardstock sitting there, but it wasn't long enough to go all the way across the card.

I cut it from corner to corner and pushed the bottom piece to the right side of the card to make it longer.

In the space between the red, I stamped Celebrate!

4th Of July Kids

Celebrate!

I hope you enjoyed the 4th Of July Kids!
