Hello Who

Hello, Currie made this card with Crackerbox Palace stamps and used Copic markers to color it.  She kept matting the image until she was happy and did a very good job and brining out the colors with her matting. Around the 'hello' and on the dark card stock she ran Tim Holtz edge scrapper to add some texture.  She punched holes on top of the card and ran jute through each one of them and tie it.

All Week...Randall

Currie made this card with Randall from Crackerbox Palace. She stamped and colored this guy a lot of times not to lose his eyes with over coloring.  Finally got the idea of using a small hole punch and tape white paper with new eyes on back of image.  Storybook cartridge from Cricut for shapes and Copic markers for color.  She put brads at the top in the sampe color of paper because it needed something.

I think she did a great job on this. When you see it in real life, the eyes really show up and your eyes are drawn to Randall and his mask is the focal point. I will try to show you with a close up of Randall.

Thank You Flowers

Here is a thank you card I made from Crackerbox Palace stamps, and I colored it with Copic markers.

I used Spellbinders to mat the saying and the image.  I used all white flowers but colored one of the flowers with the darkest color Copic marker I used for the jar.

Hello Triple Fold

Buttons, Brads and Bows- there is a lot on this card to look at!

Currie made this card to say Hello.  I found it very interesting to look at.  I like cards that I really have to look at to see everything, and this is one of them.

Currie used Copic markers and ink pad for distressing.  She kept matting the stamped images until she was happy.  She used Tim Holtz edge scrapper on the dark gray mat and on the Hello sign. Punched holes on top to sew the jute.

This is the back, she even made this side interesting! This card you can look at for a while and find new things.  All stamps are from Crackerbox Palace stamps.

Birthday Acetate

Thisis a card that Claudia Schroedl made from acetate. The card is laying on a sheet of red card stock.  She masked the bottom part of the stamp, (which she stamped on the inside).  She stamped the saying on the purple card stock and then on black card stock and cut out the words 'bad & good' and used pop dots to put them on the card.

This is the inside of the card.  'Happy Belated Birthday' is glued on the inside in the same place the as the saying on the front of the card.  The 'I forgot your age' which is on the same stamp as the saying on the front is glued in the same spot as the front saying also.

Happy 5th Birthday Allie!

Cafe Mocha Morning

Happy Friday! This has been one long busy week.  I sure am in need of my coffee this morning as this week ends and as I listen to the birds waking up and the streets are getting busy with traffic. So I thought I would put up the great card that Currie made. She did a little masking which made such a big impact. Grap a cup of coffee and sit down, relax and take a look at Currie's card.

This is the card opened up. She used the Crop-a-dile for holes and eyelets for the twill.

Currie used Copic markers and Large Helen (J04001) from Crackerbox Palace stamps.

The background stamp from Crackerbox Palace stamps is coffee stain D03808 and Valium Latte F03813

Did you notice the smile after her coffee? It gives Helen a whole new look. This is the one where she used the mask over her frown and drew in a smile on Helen as well as the smile on the coffee cup. 

The coffee stain was used again and After coffee C03825 from Crackerbox Palace stamps.

Currie's Cookie Sheet "Just A Note" Magnet Board

This makes such a cute magnet for anyones kitchen.  You could custom this into any theme that you have in your kitchen.  This is a smaller cookie sheet but has a lot of room for many notes. Wouldn't this by a cute idea for each child in the family to decorate their own for their work?

Currie spray painted the cookie sheet. Cover with paper, stamp right on to the patterned paper and color with markers.  She also stamped on the note paper on the top to look like notebook spiral and the word 'hello'.  Drill holes on the top to hang it. She used: K&Company patterned paper and brads, Copic markers, Papertrey Ink and note pad paper.
