Crackerbox Stamps - Fried


Did you hear that Crackerbox Stamps has started coming out with photopolymer stamps in addition to their foam-mounted red rubber ones?  Eeeeeee!  There are currently 3 sets available with more coming very soon (hint, hint).

I used the Miss Prissy set here. I love her vintage look--those glasses!

SOSS #248 - S for Snarky


We essentially have an "anything goes as long as it's snarky" focus at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge this month.  Normally non-snarky cards are allowed but this time the more snark the merrier.


My one layer card was so so simple to make which is good because some days are just like the card illustrates and who has the energy to do more than just primal scream?

ATCAS #253 - Friends


The latest Addicted to CAS Challenge #253 is all about friends. I used a sentiment that had the word "friend" in it but it could just as easily be interpreted as whatever you would give a friend and so on.


I stamped the MFT Playful Penguins images directly on to the card base as I used Hammermill Color Copy 100lb paper which works with alcohol inks (and hot foiling) beautifully.  I colored them up using Copics.  


On the sign I used one of the mini Lawn Fawn Simply Celebrate sentiments; I hope the recipient has their readers on!

CAS on Friday #278 - Hello


Hello!  Come join us for the latest CAS on Friday Challenge #278.

I sponged the card base with a touch of blue then stamped and watercolored the holly.  I embossed the included sentiment for a bit of pop.  Wasn't that easy?!

ATCAS #252 - Geometric


The latest Addicted to CAS Challenge code word is "geometric." I'm trying to make as many holiday cards as possible throughout the year so it's not so crazy in November and December.  Wish me luck!


The geometric element of my card is obviously the honeycomb hexagons on the background. I particularly like how the Whimsy Hexagon Die which I used to impress around the scene turned out.


I love the Clearly Besotted Bee Merry set so welcomed the opportunity to combine that with the Whimsy die and stencil I made from the Lawn Fawn Honeycomb Background die.

CAS on Friday #277 - Masculine


This round at the CAS on Friday Challenge we're asking for masculine cards.  This is always a tough one for me; masculine cards are just so masculine. LOL.

I used a couple of stencils and neutral colors with the Julie Hickey Designs Essentially Christmas #2 stamp set to create a one layer holiday card. Masculine but not too.
