Are You Ready For Some Football?

  Hello, Fellow Crafters. 

Are you ready for some football? Here in Wisconsin, the weather is getting cooler, and the leaves are changing color. Fall is coming, which means football is coming too. John is watching the Packers play football on TV. I took the time to design a football party invitation, complete with a custom G on the helmet, made by Crackerbox Stamps. We Wisconsinites love to party, and we especially love our football! Nothing beats gathering with friends and family to cheer on our beloved Packers, enjoying cheese curds and beer, and making unforgettable memories.

 Hello, fellow Sampers.

I have started my Halloween cards, and something spooky is stirring! Get ready for a hauntingly good time! These Halloween stamps make it easy to create creepy, characterful cards. Complete with a mischievous spooky creature, flying bats, a glowing moon, and a frightful sentiment. Perfect for Halloween crafting, cardmaking, and adding a little eerie magic to your projects.

I stamped the Demon Wisp first using VersaFine. I punched a 1inch hole in a piece of scrap paper for the moon. Using yellow ink, I sponged into the circle opening.

I placed the punched circle over the yellow and sponged the rest of the card with grey-blue ink, then gray ink. I went a little heavier on the sides and around the moon.

The spots were made with the Texture Stipple Brush, which I love to use for a light background.

The saying, On Halloween was stamped with VersaFine, my go-to ink for detail and words.

Demon Wisp

Bats Flying

King Of The Grill Card

  Hello Stampers. Vicky here today with a card for a Grill Master.

It's officially grilling season, and I created a card to celebrate the King of the Grill in your life! The star of the show is grilling up juicy hot dogs, but let's be real: chicken and hamburgers are always great options too. Use this thoughtful card as a heartfelt thank-you for a BBQ you recently attended, or as a sweet gesture for your significant other who always takes charge of the grill. What's your go-to dish to throw on the grill?

My card base is blue to match the plaid paper. I corner punched the plaid paper.

I stamped, colored, and cut out the Grill Food Set of 5.

I used a die to cut out a backing for the saying.

I stamped the Frame, on printed paper and cut it out.

King Of The Grill was stamped on the printed paper.

The Pig Hangin On, Grill And Lid, and Hot Dogs, which I cut off the stick, were stamped, colored, and cut out.

4th Of July

 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!

Stamps Used:

4th Of July Kids

Celebrate!

I hope you enjoyed the 4th Of July Kids!

Happy Father's Day Card To A Great Dad

 Hello Stampers!

If you're a fan of those lovable, mischievous Minions and you're looking for a unique way to celebrate a great dad this Father's Day. It's the perfect way to show your dad just how much you appreciate him, and the Minions theme is sure to bring a smile to his face. Check out the other Minion stamps that Crackerbox Stamps has.

This card did not turn out the way I had expected it to. 

Have you ever had that happen?

I dropped an ink pad on the bottom of the white card AFTER all of the coloring was done. 

So, what to do...cut it off!

I mounted the cut-off card on a brown piece of cardstock.

So I wasn't sure what to do. I decided to use the bottom of the card for a flap.

I stamped the saying, Great Dad at the top of the card.

I added the saying, Special Part Of My Life.

I folded the brown cardstock up to meet the white cardstock.

Then I stenciled the bricks with a light brown ink.

Stamps Used:
