Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps - Thank You

Hello everyone!

I am here with Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps with the newly released "Coffee Cup" and "Pumpkin Spice".  Be sure to stop over to Crackerbox & Suzy Stamps for more inspiration for the new release. 

Here is how I created my card:

My card is an A2 size card, I used distress ink in the background and splashed it with some distress ink.  I had this leave frame in my stash and thought it was perfect for my fall card.  I stamped and cut the "Coffee Cup" and "Autumn Leaves" with my scan & cut.  I colored the images with copics and adhered them to the card.  I stamped the tiny "thank you" on my card.

Here is the current promotion for August:

My card is an A2 card, the base of the card is GKD Tomato Soup card stock,  I added GKD Charcoal Brown, Fresh Asparagus, Tomato Soup and Honey Mustard inks with a blending tool on the right side of my card, I used the same colors on a piece of GKD White Heavy Base Weight paper stamped some leaves with versamark and heat embossed the leaves with GKD Gold embossing powder, I die cut the leaves with the GKD Stitched Leaves Die Cuts, I adhered the leaves with foam tape, stamped the "friend" with GKD Black Onyx, and stamped the sentiment on GKD layering white paper and cut it out and adhered it to my card with foam tape.

Closer look at my card.

My second card, is also an A2 card, I used the GKD Fresh Asparagus card stock as my base.  I used the Honey Mustard as my layer and embossed it with Darice Foliage embossing folder, I used the same paper that I inked up for the card above and stamped it with GKD Charcoal Brown ink and then stamped it with versamark ink and heat embossed the leaf with GKD clear embossing powder and then die cut it from the GKD Stitched Leaves Die Cuts .  I die cut the "thankful" out and used some glossy accent to it to give the word some definition.  To finish the card off I added some enamel dots.

Closer look at the leaf.

My last card is a CAS card, I stamped the leaf with  GKD Charcoal Brown, Fresh Asparagus, Tomato Soup and Honey Mustard inks, I cleaned the leaf off and added some versamark ink and heat embossed the leaf with GKD clear embossing powder, I stamped the "friend" with GKD Tomato, die cut it out with the friend die from the kit, stamped the sentiment and die cut it out and added it to my card with foam tape.  I finished the card off by adding some spatter with the Fresh Asparagus.

Did you miss the Release Party a couple of weeks ago?  Here is another card I showed.


I used the GKD Tomato Soup card stock on my card.  I embossed the layer and added it to the base.  I due cut a piece of GKD White layering card stock and stamped the leaf with GKD Warm Cocoa and GKD Charcoal Brown.  I used the "thankful" die cut and die cut some black foam and added it to the word to give it some dimension.  I added the sentiment with GKD Charcoal Brown.  

Closer look at the dimension of the word Thankful.
