Great Food Great Friends

Vicky BriggsJuly 24, 2010Food or Drink Cards No comments

Well we have one more week of our picnic theme.

The tag is cut out from a Spellbinder. The edge is punched from EK Success chain punch and ribbon is threaded through it. The blue fence like punch is a Martha Stewart punch. I was showing a stamper the new Cuttlebug Quilling flowers at the store and cut off a piece so it wasn't so long and put it aside. After the stamper left, I still had the cut off piece and curled it up and used it on this card as the white flower.

The stamps are Crackerbox Palace stamps and colored with Copic markers.

All stamps are Crackerbox Palace stamps and we are celebrating our anniversary this month and giving away free stamps. On the web site on the upper right corner of the site under 'Blog/News' find out how to free stamps plus free shipping.

Dog-gone Special Hotdogs

Currie made another great card for anyone, but it does look like any guy would like it. Guy cards are sometimes a challange but this one is a good one.

She stamped the images and colored them. She added Glossy Accents used on the bun seeds. Vintage Photo Distress ink for the aged look. Ranger blue embossing powder for the saying.

Mustard seed colored eyelets for the eyelets and jute string really adds interest.

Woo Hoo Steak

I think the card Currie made makes a great guy card, what guy doesn't like a good steak?

She stamped the dog's head and steak on white card stock and cut it out and then glued to card. She colored with Copic markers and used Glossy Accent on the ant to make him show up better. On the card the ant is not this dark, I am not sure why he turned out so dark here. She used Tim Holtz Fragments to put over the words and the edge scrapper.

Brave Thing Picnic

When I opened this one up from Currie, I had to laugh. What a great card for a guy too!

She stamped the bear, blanket, basket, cola and saying on white cardstock, colored it and cut them out. The chain on the edge is a EK Success punch. Currie punched it almost to the edge and colored it with silver Smooch. She put Glossy Accents on the ants eyes and used Tim Holtz scrapper for the edges.

Another quick card, a summer card for a 'Just Because' card. All of the stamps are Crackerbox Palace stamps. The frame around the saying and hamburger are from Spellbinders. I used a corner rounder for the printed paper.

Have a great summer day, and thanks for looking.

Ant Picnic

I was working the store and all I had were pieces I already cut out so I this card is pretty straight forward, stamped, colored and cut. The saying is framed with one of our stamps and colored with Copic as well as all of the other images. The ant mounds are glues at the very bottom and the top of the mounds have small pop dots under them. The tree is a bare tree I just dotted with the Copic markers. I tore a scrap of cardstock and sponged Brillance ink over the edges to make the clouds. The scalloped edge is cut from Spellbinders.

Picnic On A Table

I stamped the table on white card stock with red ink and just cut out the top of the table. Then I stamped the table on the light brown card stock and glued the top of the table on the card. I used EK Success punch for the edge of the table and added pearls. Stamped the words in VersaFine Sepia ink, and sponged the edges. Stamped the food, colored it with Copic markers and cut them out, (the hotdog is cut from the stamp that has 2 hotdogs on a stick). I punched the bottom of the light brown card stock with Martha Stewart punch. I had the red bow laying on my desk so that went on as well as the blue and brown flower that has been on my desk for a while from something.

What We Eat

This one is for fun. The top of the Cola can didn't come out very well, but it was stamped on the foil that a candy bar was wrapped in. The hamburger was colored with Copic markers and the background frames were cut with Spellbinders.

Currie's Divine Cookbook

Vicky BriggsJuly 16, 2010Food or Drink Cards No comments

Boy, does Currie have a great cookbook to share!

I saved this for Friday, just in case you would like to try some of her ideas.

This cookbook sits on the counter at the store and everyone enjoys looking through it,

I hope you will too.

The book front and back covers are made from chipboard.

She stamped the apron and cut the tie strings off and braded floss for the stings. Also she wrapped floss around the neck loop. Sprayed the apron with Paper Glide and shaped it to give it some shape. Copper wine with beads and a clothespin hang the apron. Tim Holtz Fragments were used for the "Divine" stamp, and she used StazOn ink, Smooch are the dots after the words were dry. The front of the sign was covered with Shimmerz. There are little pearls at the apron stings and rhinestones and pearls around the edges. The scalloped shape was cut out from Cricut and the blue card stock was distress from Tim Holtz tool. All of the stamps she used are Crackerbox Palace Stamps.
