Thanksgiving Week Cards: Savory and Sweet Themes

Shaped Cards featuring Scrappy Boy Stamps

Happy Thanksgiving Week, everyone! In the spirit of the season, I’ve created two food-themed cards that blend multiple sets with a little whimsical fun. One card features a savory backpack design with a pretzel theme, while the other is an interactive rocker card showcasing donuts.

Card 1: Savory Pretzel Backpack

For the first card, I crafted a playful backpack that highlights the savory goodness of pretzels. This design was inspired by a type of bag people buy that feature theme park snacks and I hope my creation embodies all the deliciousness a backpack can be🥨

Card 2: Rocker Donut Card

The second card is a rocker card that uses stitched circle dies along with donut dies. While it currently is a VALENTINE, this card can easily be customized for just about anything using Scrappy Boy’s Alphabet Dies. This design is versatile enough to transform into a festive greeting for Christmas, birthdays, or just because!

Crafting Joy: A Whimsical Card Creation 🎄✨

🎉✨ Meet my latest handmade card featuring a mischievous kitty on a mission to whack those Christmas ornaments! 🎄😸 Using the HIGH FIVE and RUSTIC CHRISTMAS OWL stamp sets, I created a scene that’s all about festive fun! Plus, an ACTION WOBBLER adds a playful touch to this naughty kitty.

Who else has a cat that loves to stir up holiday mischief? Share your stories below! 😻👇 #HandmadeCards #CatMischief #HolidayFun

Hello, fellow crafters! Today, I want to share a delightful project that combines two of my favorite Pajama Crafter Stamp’s stamp sets: Rustic Christmas Owl and High Five. 🦉🐱

Here is a photo using the images from RUSTIC CHRISTMAS OWL set:

I recently whipped up a fun card featuring the evergreen branch from the Rustic set, paired with the playful mouse and fish smaller images as “ornaments” and one of the mischievous cats from the High Five set. The stars are also from the HIGH FIVE set and really pop off the page! The best part? The process of mixing and matching these stamp sets to create something entirely unique!

Step by Step Breakdown

Choosing the Base: I started with a lovely card base in BLACK, setting the perfect tone for a non-traditional Christmas-themed creation.
Stamping the Cat: I stamped the adorable cat, coloring it up with my Copic markers, ensuring to capture all the little details that make it so charming. It sets the stage for a warm holiday vibe!
Ornament Fun: Next, I added the ornaments from the High Five set, hanging them playfully from the limb I stamped onto a piece of Alcohol Marker Friendly paper using a stitched oval die. I used my Copic markers to color the branch and ornaments. I then used Diamond Stickles to add extra sparkle. Their vibrant colors really pop against the background!
Making the Mischievous Cat Wiggle: No card is complete without a hint of mischief! After stamping and coloring the cheeky cat from the HIGH FIVE set, I attached an ACTION WOBBLER on the back of the cat in the middle of the back-side of the cat cutout and adhered it as if it’s ready to pounce on those ornaments. It adds a whimsical touch that’s sure to bring a smile.
Finishing Touches: I added some stamped stars using a Distress Oxide ink pad in WALNUT STAIN and colored up in yellow and added white gel pen for shine.

Why Mixing Sets is So Much Fun

One of the joys of crafting is the ability to personalize every little detail. When you mix and match different stamp sets, you’re not only saving time, but you’re also sparking creativity in ways you might never have imagined!

I love how the Rustic Christmas Owl branch turns this non-Christmas set called HIGH FIVE, into a warm and light-hearted holiday-themed card with a classic feel, while the playful elements of the High Five set give it a modern twist. It’s like creating a whole new story on each card, filled with charm and cheer!

Exciting November Projects Featuring Scrappy Boy Stamps

I’m thrilled to share five brand-new projects featuring the Scrappy Boy Stamps November release! Each project is unique, and I’ve included additional photos to showcase how they were put together. Let’s dive in!

Project 1: Make a Splash A2 Card

I used no line water coloring to create a swimming scene versus a ballerina. I created a pool using the oval stitched nested dies as well as a white gel pen over patterned paper to create a visual illusion of moving water. The colored image is popped up using an action wobbler and adds an extra fun interactive touch to my card. The background is made using Distress Ink Sprays using a watercolor panel in a rainbow pallet.

The following Scrappy Boy Stamps’ products were used:

Butt-Cracker Suite Stamps
Undersea Water Scene Builder Dies
Stitched Rectangle Nested Dies
Stitched Oval Nested Dies

Project 2: Happiest Memories on Earth Shaker Card

The following card is the result of creative usage of my scraps. I had some panels left over and created a shaker card featuring some of the fun shaker bit panel dies from scrappy boy stamps. I also used the mouse head die from the mouse pizza builder die set. Mouse heads and swirl from a different set. It’s fun to mix a match and create something special and unique, especially when the die is used in a way that it was not originally intended. Imagine this card using reds and greens and creating a Christmas holiday themed card or pinks, reds and whites for Valentine’s Day. Your creativity is only limited by your imagination. Have fun and I can’t wait to see what you make.

The following Scrappy Boy Stamp products were used:

Rectangle Stitched A2 Nesting Dies
Mouse Pizza Builder Die Set
Mouse Embellishment Lollipop Die Set

Project 3: Let’s Ketchup A2 Card

I created this A2 size card featuring the large and small burger from hamburger embellishment die set. I thought it was fun to use an actual toothpick to create a flag with a sentiment from my stash to make it a fun way to display the sentiment on the card. Another fun thing I found out while using my scraps was the bits that get popped out of the gloves on any of the mouse hands or gloves are perfectly shaped sesame seeds for your buns. I like to cut my dies out in white and then use my Copic markers to color them. I think it gives them a totally different look and I really loved the outcome.

MOUSE HAMBURGER EMBELLISHMENT DIE SET
PATTERNED PAPER FROM SCRAPPY BOY STAMPS

Project 4: You Make Life A Walk In The Park

I created this A2 card wanting to stack multiple scoops of ice cream. I was able to achieve this by cutting the different scoops out and then stacking them. I covered them up using my Copic markers and giving them texture. I also used glossy accents on the glaze and white gel pen to help give a glossy hot fudge dripped look. I used some of the shaker bits from the shaker bit panels and added some crystal effects on top which created a very candy like appearance.

I use the following Scrappy Boy products;

MOUSE ICE CREAM EMBELLISHMENT DICE SET
SCRAPPY BOY, STAMPS PATTERN PAPER
MOUSE HEAD SHAKER BIT PANEL DIE
Stitched circle dies

Project 5: The Christmas Carol Tiny Tim Card

I used the Christmas Carol stamps and coordinating pattern paper available from the November 2025 release Scrappy Boy Stamps.

Thank you for checking out this week’s projects from the November Scrappy Boy Stamps’ Release! I hope you feel inspired to try these designs.

Circle and Oval Nested Stitched Dies

🥳 I absolutely love creating cards using just dies or using them as a foundation for my colored images, and I’m excited to share some fun ideas with you!

For my latest project, I pulled out the Marquis Die from a previous release to take advantage of the smaller font on my potty training fun fold card. This card features the fun patterns from the Butt Cracker Fairies 6×6 Paper Pack! 🎓🚽 By pairing the marquis sign set with the popcorn card gift die and the adorable mouse heads, I was able to create some quirky glasses that enhance the design perfectly! I even used the smaller stitched circle die to create a hole in my potty seat—how fun is that?! 🍿🤓🚽

🎉✨ Happy World Fussy Cutting Day! ✂️🖌️

Sharing a card featuring Pajama Crafter Stamps and celebrating World Fussy Cutting Day!

🎉✨ Happy World Fussy Cutting Day! ✂️🖌️

I’m excited to share a special card that highlights the magic of fussy cut stamped images! 💌

So grab some stamped images and a pair of scissors and let’s get crafting!

I started by using white pigment ink on Kraft colored cardstock, then heat embossed over the white ink with clear embossing powder. This technique created a beautiful look reminiscent of white royal icing on gingerbread cookies! 🍪✨

To add a touch of warmth, I blended some walnut stain Distress Ink around the edges of the cut images from the “Baking Spirits Bright” stamp set, giving them that freshly baked cookie vibe. After that, I gently wiped away any excess distressed ink from the embossed images with a soft cloth for a neat finish.

Fussy cut images popped up on watercolor panel with foam tape for added dimension.

Additionally, you can explore this fun “Baking Spirits Bright” stamp set and many unique whimsical designs at the Pajama Crafter Stamps website: pajamacrafterstamps.com (https://pajamacrafterstamps.com) 🛍️

Crafting with Purpose: Dutch Door Fold Card Inspired by Craft Roulette

Hello, crafting friends!

Today, I’m excited to walk you through the steps of creating a delightful Dutch door fold card that I recently submitted for the Craft Roulette challenge! Inspired by the improv card-making show on YouTube, Craft Roulette, this project allowed me to showcase my creativity while entering for a chance to win fantastic prizes from beloved sponsors. I made sure to get my card submitted just in time—thanks to the amazing Flashcards from Pajama Crafters Stamps, which made the whole process a breeze!

What is a Dutch Door Fold?

Before we dive into the step-by-step process, let’s talk about the unique Dutch door fold design. This fun fold technique typically allows the top half of the card to open like a door, while the bottom half remains closed by adhering down. I cut away the top “door” and left the bottom door to move freely. I then added the layered square with colored image as focal point. It creates a charming layered effect and adds an interesting twist to your card-making repertoire.

Steps to Create My Dutch Door Fold Card:

Gather Your Materials:

Flashcards – Autumn/Thanksgiving from Pajama Crafters Stamps.
Coordinating paper from your stash.
Enamel dots for embellishing.
Scissors and adhesive.

Cut Your Card Base:

Start with a standard A2 card size (4.25” x 5.5”).
On the top fold, measure about 2 inches down from the top and make a cut from the fold to the 2-inch mark. This will create the “door” effect. Then cut away just the top door.
Prepare Your Flashcard Panel:

Choose a panel from the Autumn/Thanksgiving Flashcards set and cut it into a square that fits the bottom half of your card beautifully. Mu square measures 2.25 inches. Mat if you wish.

Separate the Sentiment:

Cut out the sentiment that you wish to feature. I created a fishtail cut at the end for added style to give it some flair.

Assemble Your Card:

Adhere the flashcard panel to the bottom half of your card base. You can center it or off-set it.
Attach your sentiment strip to the bottom left of the flashcard panel, ensuring it aligns with the Dutch door fold.

Add Embellishments:

Finish your card by adding some enamel dots for a touch of whimsy.

Using Pajama Crafters Stamps’ Flashcards truly streamlined my process, allowing me to focus on creativity rather than get bogged down by excessive cutting or designing. Their variety of themes makes it perfect for any occasion and can really elevate your card-making game!
