Create something cheerful with BUGGIN’ YOU from the newest Pajama Crafter Stamps release! This whimsical A2 card features The Bees Knees 6×6 Paper Pack, Banner Dies, playful coloring, and a colorful reminder that ladybugs come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.
Hi crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a cheerful A2 card featuring BUGGIN’ YOU from the newest Pajama Crafter Stamps release. I had so much fun creating this one!
For the background, I used papers from The Bees Knees 6×6 Paper Pack and layered in the Banner Dies to build dimension and interest. The bold black accents really make those sunny yellow tones pop.
My favorite part to color was definitely her hair! Those whimsical curls gave me so many fun places to add shading, highlights, and texture. And let’s talk about that beautiful ladybug—because they don’t all have to be red! I wanted to show how fun it can be to play with unexpected colors and create something unique.
That’s one of the things I love most about crafting: there are no rules, only creativity.
I hope this card inspires you to pull out your markers, inks, or pencils and create something joyful today. If you make something with this release, I’d love to see it!

We have been celebrating PET WEEK all week, with cards featuring stamped images of our furry, feathered and scaled friends.
I’m so excited to share today’s project featuring an absolutely adorable new set from Pajama Crafter Stamps — Furever Loved from the March 2026 release!
This set is truly a must-have for your craft stash… because honestly, who can resist a cute dog?! 🐶 Whether you’re creating for a friend, a fellow dog lover, or even a heartfelt “just because” card, this set has so much versatility built right in.
💖 Pairing Products for a Versatile Look
For this project, I paired the stamp set with the In My Heart of Hearts Stencil, also from Pajama Crafter Stamps. This stencil is perfect for creating customized, romantic and fun backgrounds—ideal for everything from friendship cards to more elegant, celebratory designs.
And today, I’m sharing two looks using this stencil… one traditional and one with a fun twist!
🎨 Technique Spotlight: Get More From Your Stencil (No Waste!)
If you’ve ever finished stenciling and noticed all that leftover ink sitting on your stencil… don’t clean it just yet! 👀
Instead, try this:
👉 Lightly mist your stencil (depending on your ink type)
👉 Flip it over onto a clean piece of cardstock
👉 Press to transfer the remaining ink
This creates a completely different “negative” impression background—and it’s such a fun way to stretch your supplies!
I used a cardstock that could handle a slightly wetter medium to avoid warping, and the result was a beautifully soft, organic background that looked totally different from the original design.
🐶 Bringing It All Together
For my second card, I paired that transferred background with the black-and-white dog image from Furever Loved, adding just a pop of color to the bow to match the inked background.
The result? A playful, coordinated design that feels cohesive without being overly busy.
💍 The Original Design
I’m also sharing my original card, where I used the stencil as intended. This created a more polished, elegant background—perfect for a wedding or formal celebration card.
Same stencil… two completely different looks!
💬 Which One Is Your Favorite?
Do you love the soft, elegant original or the playful, no-waste background version? I’d love to hear which one you’d choose!

🎡 This week’s Craft Roulette challenge had me creating a bright and playful bridge card using fruit salad colors, a fun “J” element (hello, jammies! 😄), and bold swipe techniques that bring the whole design to life. Featuring adorable images from Pajama Crafter Stamps, this card is packed with color, dimension, and personality!

There’s just something about Craft Roulette that pushes creativity in the best possible way! This week’s parameters came together for a project that is bright, playful, and just a little too relatable.
🎯 This Week’s Parameters:
Bridge Card Design , Salad Colors, Something that starts with “J” and Swipe or Swipes
🃏 Building the Card Design
I started with the bridge card base, which is one of my favorite interactive-style layouts. It creates dimension while still folding flat—perfect for mailing but with that extra wow factor when displayed.
From there, I leaned into the fruit salad color palette, pulling in bright, juicy tones that instantly give off happy, summery vibes. Think citrusy oranges, golden yellow pineapples, strawberry fuchsia, berry reds, and pops of fresh granny-smith apple greens—it’s impossible not to smile at this combination!
🔤 The “J” Element
For my “J,” I went with jammies—because honestly, what’s better than crafting in your comfiest clothes? 😄
I used adorable images from stamp set called PAJAMA POWER available at Pajama Crafter Stamps and paired them with the perfectly fitting sentiment:
“Born to Lounge, Forced to Work”
I mean… if that doesn’t sum up real life, I don’t know what does!
🎨 Swipe Details
The “swipes” bring this card to life. I incorporated:
Rainbow swipes in the background to add movement and energy A coordinating swipe across the bridge panel, tying everything together visually
To anchor the design, I added matted circle elements across the bridge, each highlighting the stamped images and helping guide your eye across the card.
💡 Final Thoughts
This project is the perfect example of how a structured challenge can spark unexpected creativity. The mix of:
dimensional design bold color choices playful theme
…made this one such a joy to create!

There’s something about stepping into a new season of life that invites reflection… and if I’m being honest—sometimes a little sarcasm too 😅
Lately, I’ve been navigating all the “joys” that come with menopause, and instead of resisting it, I decided to lean ALL the way in… creatively, of course.
That’s how MENOPAUSE-A-SAURUS was born 🦖🔥
She represents the heat, the unpredictability, and the strength that comes with this phase of life—but with a sense of humor, because let’s face it… we need it!
For this card, I challenged myself to take a color adventure and really push beyond my usual palette. I combined playful stamping with bold metallic accents using:
Closer To Extinction Stamp Set Smoking Hot Hero Specialty Metallic Paper
The metallic elements added just the right amount of drama (which felt appropriate 😉), and building this character from the ground up was such a fun creative exercise.
This project is more than just a card—it’s a reminder that even the more difficult transitions in life can spark creativity, connection, and yes… even laughter.
If you’re in this season too, I see you 💕 And if you’re not yet—just know, your time is coming 😆
Two cards, one release—and completely different vibes! From a magical backpack shaker card featuring a clear-front-and-back gate to a fandom-inspired fun fold, these projects show just how versatile this release can be. Come see all the details!
Hi crafty friends!
Today I’m sharing two very different card projects created from the same Scrappy Boy Stamps release—and I love how each one takes on its own personality!
✨ Shaped Backpack Card – A Magical Journey
First up is this shaped backpack card featuring elements inspired by a certain classic adventure. I incorporated the iconic yellow brick road along with the gates to an emerald city to really bring the scene to life.
The highlight of this design is the interactive shaker gate—and not just any shaker! I created it with a clear front and back so you can see the movement from both sides. It adds such a fun, unexpected detail and makes the card feel extra special.
I used both wet and dry adhesive to put together my elements. For 10% Off TAPERUNNER products at TapeRunner’s website using promo-code KELLY10.
One of my favorite things about the backpack die is how versatile it is. While I used it as a card base here, you could easily turn this into a treat holder or even a mini album by adding a few extra elements.
👀 Fandom-Inspired Fun Fold Card
For my second project, I went in a completely different direction with a fandom-inspired design and a fun fold card secured with a belly band.
This style was perfect for showcasing multiple patterned papers from the release. I love mixing and layering prints, and this fold really lets each one shine while still feeling cohesive.
And for those who recognize the inspiration—this one is a subtle nod to a certain road-tripping duo who spend their time facing the unknown. 😉
💡 Why I Love This Release
What really stands out to me is how versatile this release is. From whimsical, storybook-inspired designs to bold fandom creations, there’s so much you can do depending on your style and mood.
