This is my Snarky Box Card for our first hop.

I am using some of our new release stamps. The first one is Birthday Fairy, and Background Swirl Set of 3. The other stamps that I used are Fairy Godmother, Fairy Dust and Wand. The two stamps on the side flaps are May Your Dreams Come True and Abry...Fricken...Cadabra.

I used a Card Box Kit from The Paper Cut.

The layout for the Box Card.

This is the stamp, Birthday Fairy.

This stamp will be stamped to on the front flap. I masked the Happy Birthday that will go on the back of the back flap.

I masked off the saying to stamp the Happy Birthday on the long card stock for the back of the box.

I put the Post-It-Note straight across the saying then butted up the card stock to the edge of the mask to I know that the saying would be straight.

I used just the Medium Background Swirl and the Small Background Swirl. These panels will be put on the bottom of the box.

OK, now we are ready to put it together!

Here is the box with the front flap up to see the bottom of the box.

All you need to add is the 3 strips to hold the cutouts.

 I guess you need to get some Apple Fritters or some other sweet treats to get the box! 

I cut 1/4 inch strips to hold the cutouts.

Stamp, color and cutout your images and then adhere them to your strips.

And HERE is the Box Card!

On side of the box.

The other side.

It did not take me very long to make this. All of the flaps are the same size and just lay them out and stamp. Glue the box together and put in your strips and add your cutout!

Many, many thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it!

A Vintage Christmas Card

Hello Stampers,

   I wanted to do a vintage Christmas card. I use to do a lot of vintage cards but have gotten away from them and have been doing more bright quick and easy cards since I don't have a lot of time like before. This card only has 2 stamps. The stockings were hung, and Vintage Stockings. I masked the bottom of the saying and stamped the top, and then masked the top and stamped the bottom. I colored it with Copic Markers. I did some shading but not all to make it simple. I sponged the brown around the outer edge of the card and mounted it on the red card stock and it was finished!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Holidays!

Coffee Blog Hop Fall & Winter 2019

Hello Stampers!

We are joining the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Fall and Winter. The hop is from the 1st - 8th. 

During the hop all of our Drink Stamps are on sale for 25% OFF!

I started to make a coffee card and I couldn't quit so I ended up with 3.

I thought Harmony looked like she had a couple of cups of coffee! She has been fun to use in a lot of different kinds of cards.

This second one I changed the heart of the coffee cup for the flower.

I used the Happiness Is... again. I sponged some Distress ink around the edges and colored the sun and cup with Copic Markers.

Harmony

Happiness Is...

Miss You Simple

All Drink Stamps

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Wreath

Hi Stampers,

Thanks for stopping by. I am using our new wreath and the flower and vine that go with the wreath.

I stamped the wreath with Catherine Pooler Over Coffee Ink.

I colored the vine with Tombow markers, light and dark green.

The corners were punched with corner punch.

I brushed Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus around the edge.

Happy Birthday was stamped again with Catheine Pooler ink.

The background was stamped with a Watermark Ink.

Here is the wreath without the flowers.

And the wreath with flowers.

Now with the flowers with Nuvo drops. This is the finished card, TaaDaa!

Get the stamps here!

Wicked

Hello, thanks for stopping by. 

Today I put one of our new hats on Betty.  Isn't she cute with her hat?

I stamped Betty and the hat.

The Witch's hat with spider doesn't cover Betty but I wanted the spider on the card

so I didn't have to cut it out or around it.

I stamped the hat on a separate piece of paper, colored it with Copic markers and cut it out without the spider.

I love to use Versafine for my words.

I did mask the Wicked and stamped the saying under Better.

Then I masked never looked so good and stamped the Wicked on top.

I used Catherine Pooler inks for the background with this Crocko Effect stencil.

I liked using the Clairy Brush because the brush comes to a point so I could make a small color circle around Betty.

Thanks for looking! I think this could be used for a birthday card too.

Hugs, Vicky
