Let it Ride with Crackle Paint

This card makes a great masculine birthday card.  It was inspired by Mary Deatherage's card that I saw on Pinterest only I changed it up a bit.
Here are my instructions for this card:


Stamp Set:  Let it Ride, Crackle Paint

Cardstock; Early Espresso, Crumb Cake

Ink:  Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow

Other:  Big Shot, Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder, Story Label Punch, Mossy Meadow Baker’s Twine (from Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack), Glue Dots, Dimensionals



1.     The base of the card is Early Espresso cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Crumb Cake cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and inserted into the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder and run through the Big Shot.  Adhere to the front of the card.

3.    The small piece of Crumb Cake cardstock is cut at 2-3/4” x 3-3/4” and the Crackle Paint stamp is inked up with Early Espresso ink.  Then ink up the trees with Mossy Meadow and stamp at the bottom without re-inking to make them appear far away.

4.    Layer it onto the 3” x 4” Early Espresso cardstock with Snail Adhesive.  Put Dimensionals on the back and adhere to the front of the card.

5.    Ink up “Happy Birthday” with Mossy Meadow ink on Crumb Cake cardstock.  Use the Story Label Punch to punch it out. 

6.    Use the Story Label Punch to punch out an Early Espresso label.  Cut it in half and layer it behind the Crumb Cake Label.

7.    Double the Mossy Meadow Baker’s Twine and tie a bow to adhere to the label with a Glue Dot.

Best Catch and Crackle Paint

This card was cased from the very talented Julie Gilson, but I changed the Designer Series Paper color.  So glad this stamp set (Best Catch) is being carried over to the new annual catalog. The base of the card is Mint Macaron.  Then on a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Shimmer White cardstock, I used Versamark ink and used Silver Embossing Powder as well as on the fish.  I heat embossed both and die cut the fish.
Here are more of my written instructions on how I made this card:

Stamp Set:  Best Catch, Crackle Paint (Page 44 in Occasions)

Cardstock:  Mint Macaron, Shimmery White, Silver Foil, Bright’s DSP

Ink:  Versamark, Silver Embossing Powder, Mint Macaron, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy

Other:  Big Shot, Best Catch of the Day Thinlets, Heat Tool, Layering Circles Framelits, Stitched Shapes (Circle) Framelit Dies, Silver Metallic Thread, Aqua Painter, Snail Adhesive, Dimensionals, Faceted Dots



1.     The base of the card is Mint Macaron Cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Shimmery White cardstock cut at 3-3/4” x 5”.  Use the Embossing Buddy on the Shimmery White cardstock. Ink up the Crackle Paint Background stamp with Versamark Ink and sprinkle it with the Silver Embossing Powder.  Heat set it with the Heat Tool.  Ink up the fish stamp the same way and die cut with the Best Catch of the Day Thinlets.

3.    Fill the Aqua Painter with water.  Now, you will need to watercolor the embossed Shimmery White cardstock that has been embossed with Silver Embossing Powder.   Use blocks to pick up the color from the ink pads and then use them as your palette to pick up the colors with the Aqua Painter.  Do the same process with the fish.  Let dry completely!  When dry, attach the fish with Dimensionals to a Whisper White die cut stitched circle layered onto a Mint Macaron Circle.  Set aside for now.

4.    The Silver Foil is cut at 2-3/4” x 2-3/4” and adhered to the front of the embossed Shimmery White cardstock that is now dry. 

5.    Cut a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock at 2-5/8” x 2-5/8” and layer 2-1/2” x 2-1/2” of the DSP. Optional: Wrap the Silver Thread around your hand 3 or 4 times and adhere to the back of layers with Snail Adhesive.  Attach Dimensionals to adhere over the Silver Foil.

6.   Add a strip of DSP cut at ¾” x 3-3/4”.  Optional:  Add Faceted Dots on either side using the Paper Piercing Tool.

7.    Add the fish layers with Dimensionals to the center of the card.

Tea Together - Crackle Paint

This is a card I designed with the Tea Together stamp set and Crackle Paint Background stamp, both in the 2019 Occasions Catalog as well as the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The Tea Time Framelit goes with the Tea Together but not as a bundle.  However, it can be earned FREE with a $100 order.  I also used the Layering Ovals in the Annual Catalog.  Although, Mother's Day is not until May, this stamp set includes the sentiment so it would make a lovely card for a mother.

Here are my instructions for my card:




1.     The card base is Highland Heather cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Whisper White cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and layered onto the front of card.

3.    The third layer is Old Olive cardstock cut at 3-3/4” x 5” and layered onto the front of the card.

4.    The fourth layer is Vellum cardstock cut at 3-1/2” x 4-3/4” and attached with Glue Dots to the front of the card.

5.    The tea pitcher stamp is inked up with Gorgeous Grape on Whisper White cardstock and then ink up the Crackle Paint stamp with Gorgeous Grape ink and ink up the pitcher.

6.    Ink up the rose with Memento Black and die cut both pitcher and rose with the Tea Time Framelit Dies.

7.    Use the Stamping Blends to color in the Pitcher and the rose.

8.    Attach the rose to the pitcher with Dimensionals.

9.    Put Dimensionals on the back of the pitcher and attach to the upper center of the card.

10.  Ink up “Happy Mother’s Day” sentiment with Gorgeous Grape ink on Whisper White cardstock.  Die cut it out with an oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits and a Highland Heather oval the next size up so the two can be layered together and attached with a Dimensional at the bottom of the card.
