Hi Everyone, the new  So Suzy & Crackerbox Stamps release is here! For all you Harry Potter fans out there you will be delighted to see that we now have a lot of Harry Potter stamps for you! Now I am not really big on Harry Potter, but I still managed to create an acceptable card I hope.... I used the Gryffindor coat of arms and the sorting hat poem that goes along with it. I colored the coat of arms with Inktense and Finetec mica watercolors. Cut it out and mounted with with foam tape onto maroon wood grain card stock (Alexandra Renke). the sentiment I heat embossed with WOW gold embossing powder. For the maroon card stock I used a stitched die to cut it in size.   To show you a lot of our new stamps, we have prepared a little blog hop for you: Vicky Briggs Martha Lucia Gomez Tracy McLennon Giada Rigamonti Donna Idlet Cornelia Wenokor  - you are here Lindsay Adreon Terri Albro Burson Teresa DeWitt Pierce Olesya Andreyeva ...

Hi Everyone, I want to introduce you to a technique I just learned and totally love it. I saw it on my blogging friend Gundi's blog Papierelle   and knew immediately I had to try this! You should try this, too. it is super easy and Gundi has a linky party  - try it, link up you card and you might win a super cute little snowman stamp! But since this is my So Suzy blog post I used So Suzy stamps for my card. the wonderful stencil you can get in the So Suzy Store . The big butterfly you can find HERE and the little ones HERE .  the sentiment is HERE . What else do you need? Sandpaper (I used a block), a pencil, a sponge and an eraser. I like the knead-able rubber eraser - you can form it into any shape. Use the sandpaper to create graphite dust from your pencil. Adhere your stencil to your card base, so it does not slip and start sponging the graphite dust with your sponge, joust like you would use ink.  Stamp you stamps over y...

Hi Everyone, it is a special day today. Crackerbox & So Suzy Stamps have teamed up with Imagine Crafts to bring this blog hop to you. You probably already are familiar with Imagine Crafts. They carry all sorts of fabulous inks, such as Versafine, Delicata, Memento inks, to mention a few as well as other products such as Fireworks sprays. Perhaps you arrived here from the talented Jennifer from Scraps of Life I settled on the Fireworks sprays for this collaboration. I used Lilac Posies and Bahama blue and a Tim Holtz Stencil . I used the sprays to make some backgrounds, spraying through the stencil. You can take a new sheet of card stock and press it onto the sprayed stencil and you will get an additional background. Here are some of the backgrounds I created. I settled on the pink one for this card:  I added the  Birthday sentiment  and used a white pen alongside to make it better readable. Added turquoise paper ...

Hi Everyone, it's National Coffee Day  - the perfect day to use So Suzy Stamps!  I love this coffee cup and I made a messy background for it. ' My So Suzy stamps supplies:   Coffee Hello , Coffee Cup , Spoon ,  It's Bean a While I used photo paper and smooshed distress oxide ink and regular distress ink on it.

Hi Everyone, today is a special day! We are celebrating our collaboration with Catherine Pooler in the So Suzy store, since we now carry her fabulous inks and a few other items, like stencils. I am a big fan of those inks and often use them for my cards. They are very juicy and give you great coverage. But they also make for crisp impressions. They don't bleed and you can use the black with watercolors as well as Copics.  For this card I stayed with simple stamping - a few taps of your stamp on the ink pad, stamp and you are done! I used photo paper for this card. I first stamped the solid wispy chrysanthemum  with Tiara yellow . Then I added the wispy outline chrysanthemum  with Black Jack and the mini spray  as well as the regular spray I stamped the birthday sentiment and heat embossed it in white. Added a strip of patterned paper below. To see all the participants, go to the So Suzy blog Current promotions: We have...
