ATC Winter

Hope everyone is staying warm. It is getting a little chilly here in WI.  
 
I just wanted to share with you a ATC card.
I started with tan parchment card stock and stamped some snowflakes with Brilliance ink. I cut out the two frames from Spellbinders. I left the die on the one with the saying and sponged Brilliance ink around the edges. The snowflake in the corner is a button that I cut the shank off of and added glitter to the center.

The trees have Flower Soft below them to look like snow, and glitter for the snowflakes coming down.

Cazzy Blog Candy Card

Hi Stampers, I wanted to share with you a card that Cazzy made from some of the blog candy she won. If you would like to visit Cazzy's blog, here it is: Cazzy Time
This is what Cazzy wrote:
I am still playing with my blog candy stamps from Crackerbox Palace, this time I decided to make a square card, then I turned it into an easel card, it is perfect for this because the paper behind the cut houses is covered with the part that attaches it to the card blank.
I think this is a really neat card, I like the way she made it into a easel card so it stands up with Santa flying across the sky.
If you would like to find out how Cazzy made the card stop by Cazzy's blog and find out!
Hope you enjoyed Cazzy's card as much as I do and hope you leave her a comment.

Two Funny Christmas Cards

Hi Stampers, 
On my first card, a little guy is looking for candy in the sock.
I stamped Dog In Sock with Memento Ink and then the saying, Christmas Time.
I put stickers around the edges and used nail heads in the corners.
I put white flock on the stocking
 
The second card is a funny Santa card.
 Santa and 8 Reindeer and the saying, Master and Visa was stamped with VersaFine Clair. This ink is perfect for fine detailed stamping.
The snowflakes are cut out from glitter foam sheets.
The snowflake in the middle is a button that I cut off the shank.

 
Smiles, Vicky

Merry Christmas Santa

Are you getting ready for Christmas? I got a little shopping done but without snow here in WI. it's hard to believe Christmas is only a couple of weeks away. But I still got out the Christmas stamps and made a couple of cards in hopes that it would put me in the Christmas mood.
I try to keep my Christmas cards more CAS. I stamped and embossed the Merry Christmas.
I stamped the image and colored it with Copic markers then cut it out as well as the red background scalloped circle with Spellbinders.

I tried to show the glasses with clear lacquer.

Two Christmas Card With Santa And Snowlady

Hi Stampers, OH OH OH, Christmas is coming fast.
My first card is a Step Card.

This card is 51/2x81/2. The directions are farther down.
I stamped the saying, Merry Christmas Script with VersaFine Clair
Snowlady With Tree was stamped and mounted.
I measured and cut the pink in one piece. 
I stamped the snowflake border with Martha Stewart's punch. I used the punched snowflakes and glued them back on the card.  
Here is what the card looks like on the side with the folds.

This is how the card was cut and folded. I put it sideways on the scor-board and from the end scored it at 21/4, 41/4 etc.

 

This one is pretty straightforward. Stamp and embossed the saying, Merry Christmas Calligraphy then cut it out with Spellbinder.
I stamped Santa with Toys on white and colored it with Copic.
The white circle, green scalloped, and red circles are cut with Spellbinders.

This is just to show all of Santa's toys.

Smiles, Vicky

The leaves and saying are stamped on white card stock and painted with Smooch and cut out with Spellbinder die.
The red oval and black scalloped are cut out with Spellbinder also. The black pieces around the image that are over the red oval are the scrap pieces from the punch.
The strip across the card was embossed with Cuttlebug and just cut a strip of the folder size card. The black strip behind it has been punched with Martha Stewart punch.
The acorn and leaf are embellishments bought. They were also painted with Smooch.
 
Everyone at Crackerbox wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving.

Birthday Card With The Road Master Car

Hi Stampers, Vicky here this week.
The card today is a birthday card for some special guy. I stamped the Road Master on Ex-Press card stock and colored it with Copic markers. I did color the chrome on the car with a silver pen. The image was cut out with Spellbinders, and then I sponged the edges with Distress Ink. I cut a dark red cardstock to back the image. I added the silver Nail Heads in the corners to accent the silver from the car.
I stamped the Birthday Banner, cut it out, and sponged the Distress ink on the edges of that, too. 
 
Smiles, Vicky

Autumn Blessing

HAPPY FALL
 
Chick made this card. She started with putting green card stock on a dark brown card. She used Spellbinder 12" leaf border and sponged Brillance green over the leaves and put a ribbon through the loops in the border. A piece of dark red was cut for the left side of the card where Chick put the ribbon and leaves. On a scrap piece of gold paper, she stamped and colored Autumn Blessings and cut that piece with Spellbinder. The pumpkin from Spellbinder was cut out 7 times and folded in half and glued back to back. She added some of the left over leaf border to put over the pumpkin. The saying on the right side of the card was stamped and embossed, (that's why the word God is reflecting the flash). Then last added the 3 embellishments on the upper right hand side of the card.
Thanks for stopping by. Vicky

Get Well Bug Card

It is cold season here in WI. so I made a get-well card idea.
This little bug, Sally-Monella is one of a set of 3. You can get her or the set of 3 together.
She fit well in the Jar. The frames were cut with Spellbinders. When I cut the white one, I left the die on and graced it around the edge to frame it.

Ghouls Got Blood

Another Halloween idea. My grandson loves this stamp, so I thought I would use it for his card.
 I stamped the image, colored it with Copic markers then cut him out. I cut out the green and purple frames from Spellbinders. Before I took off the die, I sponged black ink in towards the middle. The last frame is just cut a little bigger and I used corner punch. For the saying, I stamped the work Ghouls on green and cut out the O. I stamped the spider wed in the corner and added glitter to it and to the G. I wrapped the card with thread and it came through the web and I put the spider button at the end of it.
Here is the spider.

Eye Think I'll Have Another


I just don't know about the weather here in Janesville, WI. Last week it was in the high 80's and now we are in the 60's. I know fall is coming but it feels like it is 'falling' in fast. I am just glad to have the windows open and the air con off.
So, on to the card...With the Halloween parties coming up I thought I might do a invitation/card.
I stamped the image and cut out the frame with Spellbinders. Before I took the die off, I outlined the inner edge with the black Spica Marker.
The upper card looks kind of light because of the acetate over the glass and the embossed words reflected the flash.
 I stamped the glass on acetate and cut it out.  I colored the glass with Copic markers and covered it with clear lacquer. Then I put the glass I cut out of acetate over the lacquer. It made it look wet under the acetate. I thought I had a tooth pick with the frills on top to put on my card, but I couldn't find it.
There is a fabric mesh over the orange card stock behind the glass.
On the bottom of the card, I stippled black on the green frame I punched with Martha Stewart punches. I stamped the spider webs in the corners and added the Happy Halloween.-

Ghost Go Out

This card is a quick one. I cut the hole in the middle of the card with Spellbinder and used the next size circle to cut out the circle in the printed paper. Stamped the saying cut around it and mounted it with colored card stock.
I stamped the ghost and cut them out and added the saying and it is done!

Birthday Cards from Marla

Thank You Marla!
Marla won this stamp when she left a comment on our Thursday Blog Candy. Since she used her stamp, she gets to choose another stamp of her choice. Hopefully we will see another card from the stamp that she picks out. Stay Tuned!
 
This is what Marla writes about her cards:
These cards were made for special friends (extended family) celebrating their birthdays in August and September. I met these wonderful friends through Nana Vic's Digitals at CDAC. This year our Birthday Celebration Coordinator, Sharon, make us a beautiful cover and back to a fat page album. Then each of us make a fat page birthday card to be put into our album. An album we will treasure for years. I won and used this wonderful birthday sentiment on the back of these cards from Crackerbox Rubber Stamps. It is the perfect birthday sentiment and I will be using it many times in the future.

All paper used are from - DCWV Flower Shower Spring Stack (No longer available)
Inside sentiment - TLC Creations (old freebie)
Sentiment on the back - Cracker Box Rubber Stamps

Trick or Treat Angel

I love Halloween, I think it is my favorite Holiday. Dress up and eat candy, how could it get any better. The spider web in the upper left corner, and the rest of the stamps are from Crackerbox Palace stamps. I colored the angel with Copic markers and also used them to line the saying.
The bag is a small brown bag I bought and just sponged black ink around the edges. In a pack of paper, I found some candy punch outs that I used to keep the card flat. I would of liked to have had real candy!  The bottle top is one that came in a package I punched out with my 1" punch and put a clear dot over top.

Black Hat Society

With this heat I am ready for some cool weather, so I pulled out my Halloween stamps.
The background paper is the scraps I found and thought I should use them.
I cut out the orange mat and white paper for the image with Spellbinders. Before I took apart the image off of the die cut, I outlined it with Spica Marker.
I used a bottle cap for one of my embellishements. I add a clear bubble over the image in the bottle cap,
 
The spider here and the white skull in the lower right corner are buttons.
I put a gem on her hat and black Spica Marker for her hair. Stickles was added on her dress.
 
 
Here is the card again, the spider is in the corner.

Happy Birthday Lady

Thanks for stopping by.  The girls got together to celebrate a birthday for a friend of ours. So I had to hurry up and make a card before I left. Why make anything a head of time, always working at the last minute. 
The stamps are Crackerbox Palace (the lady and the small happy birthday in the corner) and the frames are cut from Spellbinders.  I colored her in Copic markers as well as the pink flower that is under the white one. The printed paper is mounted on the same green as the frame and then on a dark blue card.
