This is a simple stamp and color card. I really like the Happiness Is...saying. I used it on a lot of cards for all different occasions. I also used Holly Swirls.

 A card that is not a holiday card, just a card to send to a friend that might need to read these words.

New Release!

Welcome Stamper to our New Release Hop!

We are all excited about the new stamps and wanted to share them with you. 
Again, some of our designers have created the images for the new stamps!

Here is my card with some of the new stamps.

 We have a set of Wishing you a... with all different kinds of sayings.

I like having them separate to place them where I want them...together or separate

or even inside the card.

I decided to lay the card out like this.

 I first stamped the saying.

 

And then added the 

Catherine Pooler ink around the edge.

 I stamped the wish bone and the pumpkin

on a separate piece, colored it and cut it out.

Thank you so much for taking a look,

Hugs, Vicky

Back to the beginning

Take a look at the NEW RELEASE!

Crackerbox Hop with Imagine Inks

Hello Stampers,

I am the lucky one to start everyone out on the hop we are having with the WONDERFUL company, Imagine!

I can't tell you how much I have LOVED their inks for many years, and still do :)!

I owned a store for 18 years and had every color of many of their lines of ink. I could go on and on about how much I love their inks. But let's get started.

This is one of my favorite colors (Pearlescent Sky Blue). It stays on my table all the time! I can't say enough about Brilliance ink. I wish you could see the shimmer. This is the only Pearlescent Pigment ink that stamps on paper, vellum, shrink plastic, and wood that I know of!

It's everything you want in an ink.

I used Clarity Brushes with Tulip Red Versafine ink and brushed it in one direction. This is the first time I have used the Versafine CLAIR, and I like it as much as their other inks. It's the perfect red for Christmas.

Then, I stamped the Knit Sweater And Mittens Set of 2, and the Ball Of Yarn with Versafine ink. 

This is the cleanest container I could find. I LOVE this 

ink for ALL of my words and fine-lined images, and I use it with anything I want to emboss.

I used the Pearlescent Sky Blue and wiped it around the edges to make the card I mounted the saying and card on. Can you see the shimmer?

On white card stock, I stamped Wishing You and Warm Winter, as well as other stamps that go with it.

The saying is 2 stamps.

My second card:

I used Imagine Inks, Tim Holtz Mini stencil set #22 and Clairty Brushes. 

I just dabbed and swiped the different inks all over the stencil.

The stencil is on the left for you to see. 

The colors I used: Acorn, Tulip Red, Sunflower Yellow, Thyme and Copper.

I have my initials on the inks because these are the ones I take with me if I stamp away from home.

OH, they might looks small but they are MIGHTY! 

I have had these little buggers for years and they are still inky.

The VersaFine CLAIR blended so easily and the colors are so rich!

I used Gold and went in from all of the edges and across the card to 

give it the most beautiful shimmer.

I did the same on this card as I did on the last card to make the color match. 

I swiped the ink pad around the edge of the card I used for the saying and the card that I mounted my image on.

Finally, done!

The saying is the stamp that we have on sale this month for $2.89.
You can find it HERE

If you want some of these great inks you can find them at Imaginecrafts.com.

Thanks for hopping with us and I hope you have fun and get some inspiration!

Happy Stamping and Hugs, Vicky

PSSST, free shipping with $45.00 in US and $65.00 international!_________________________________________________________________

I had so much fun with the snarky stamps, it was hard to stop!

So, I have a few to share with you.

My first card

I cut a circle and I am using it for a mask

This is the stencil I used that we sell on our web site. 

 

I used Memento Inks and Clairty Stencil Brush. 

I LOVE the brushes! They make it so easy to use the 

stencils because they unload the ink so easily.

This guy is new in our collection, he is called Big Ed.

The Oh Snap is also a new release.

Here is card #2! Again I used a stencil because

they are quick and easy with the brushes

Isn't Big Ed (Big Head, LOL) great?!? I had to use him again!

And another new release saying!

I didn't stop there! 

The rest of these are ATC size, 2 1/2 x 3 1/2.

Just the right size to slip in someone's pocket or leave

on their desk or even their car!

On these cards I used the Catherine Pooler inks, which are

wonderful for sayings and images. 

Catherine Pooler Ink colors: Lime Rickey & Grass Skirt

It's a Girl & Party Dress

Catherine Pooler Ink colors: Orange Twist and Aquatini

Catherine Pooler Ink colors: Flirty Fuchsia and

used Clairty Brush around the edges.

Catherine Pooler Ink colors: Black and 

Icing On The Cake (on the edges of the tree)

and Over Coffee (center of the tree)

Thank you for stopping by and have a great day,

National Coffee Day Blog Hop With Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps

Hello Coffee Loving Stampers,

We are excited to join Coffee Loving Cardmakers for their National Coffee Day Blog Hop!

Direct Link back to Coffee Lovers blog post: http://bit.ly/2xp0WFV

First, some exciting news is that we are offering 15% OFF our drink section on our web site until Oct. 1st.

GIVEAWAY:

Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps are offering one $25.00 gift certificate to the readers that comment in the main post at  Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps post, and on all of the designers blogs during this weekend. 

And let me tell you that you will be crazy with the entire collection of stamps that we have on the store! Good luck! Don’t forget to take advantage of all the September’s Promotions!!!

Now, on to the card I want to share with you. I am using an image that Olesya drew, one of our design team members. There are 2 stamps that you can use for inside the coffee cup or you can leave it blank.

 I started with white card stock and swiped Sand Castle ink over it with a Clairty Stencil Brush.

 
Then I pounced on Over Coffee for more texture.

I used a Tim Holtz stencil set 3 for a splash of coffee.

I used the same colors for the saying and card stock I mounted the card on as I used on the coffee cup.

I hand cut around the saying and outlined the words with the lightest blue-B21. Then outlined the mounting card stock with the medium and darkest blue.

To match the colors I used the same markers I used around the saying.

Here is Suzy's blog for the Coffee Loving Cardmaker's Blog Hop
