Hello, fellow crafters! Today, I’m excited to share a delightful card-making project that highlights the adorable My Best Friend Stamp Set from Pajama Crafter Stamps. This A2 sized card is packed with fun, featuring a unique design that is perfect for any pet lover.

Materials Needed:

• My Best Friend Stamp Set (coordinating outline dies available in a bundle)
• Cats and Dogs Themed Flash Card Pack- currently SOLD OUT, but you can use any of the sentiments from the set or something from your stash until restocked.
• Distress Oxide Ink (color of your choice) -I used Worn Lipstick and Kitch Flamingo
• A2 cardstock (for the card base)
• Stamping block / positioning tool
• Liquid Glue -I used Bearly Arts Glue
• Ink blending tool
• Crystal Effects or Nuvo Clear Crystal Drops
• Bone image & yorkie image from set

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Creating the Decorative Strip by masking a horizontal strip across one of the FLASH CARDS, after first stamping the dog image. I used low tack tape to mask a strip and used the cute bone image from the My Best Friend Stamp Set to create a decorative strip on my card front. Using the Distress Oxide Ink, I randomly stamped the bone image inside the masked of the white flafh card front. The randomness of the stamping gives a playful and whimsical feel, celebrating our furry friends. Just think of it as creating a custom strip of patterned paper, but in this case, it’s a single layer that will be matted using stitched rectangle dies.
2. Softening the Stark White Panel:
   After stamping the bones, I decided to ink blend over the panel using the same color of Distress Oxide Ink. This technique not only softens the stark white but also enhances the color and texture of the card. The ink blending ensures that the bone images pop while providing a cohesive look.
3. Assembling the Card:
   Once the ink blending was complete and the panel was dry, I cut down with stitched rectangles and coordinated solid papers in graduated sizes that pleased my eye. I adhered all to the front of my A2 sized card base. This created a vibrant and eye-catching background for the focal point of my design.
4. Adding Texture & Interest to the “built in” sentiment on the Flash Card. To complete the card, I applied glaze to the letters on the sentiment from the adorable Cats and Dogs themed Flash Card Pack. This combination perfectly complements the stamped decorative strip and ties the entire theme of pet friendship together. These flash cards are toner based, so if you like foiling, you can elevate your project using foil or leave simply. as-is.
5. Finishing Touches:
   Glaze on the pup’s eyes and nose, as well as white gel pen was used to finish my project. I love to use my COPIC BV20 and BV23 to create shadows. It gives depth and dimension to your finished project.

Final Thoughts:
This A2 sized card using the My Best Friend Stamp Set is sure to bring a smile to any pet owner’s face. With its vibrant colors, playful design, and heartwarming sentiment, it’s perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a birthday card, a thank you note, or just a little something to brighten someone’s day.

I hope you enjoyed this card-making journey! I can’t wait to see your interpretations and creations using these fantastic products from Pajama Crafter Stamps. You can also just use what you have in your stash to use this idea as a springboard for your own creation! I cannot wait to see what you make!

Hello, crafty friends! 🎉✨ I’m thrilled to share my latest creations made with the fabulous Scrappy Boy Stamps! Today, I’ve crafted two unique cards that perfectly capture the spirit of fun, adventure, and creativity. Let’s dive into what inspired these creations!

Shaped Card with the Backpack Builder Die: Gear Up for Back-to-School! 📚✏️

First up is a whimsical shaped card I designed using the Backpack Builder Die. With school just around the corner, this die set allows you to create fun, interactive cards that any student would love to receive. To enhance my design, I paired it with the Moon Landing 6×6 Paper Pack and the Moon Landing Stamp Set. The playful patterns in the paper pack, coupled with the coordinating outline dies, bring this card to life.

This card is not just about aesthetics; it’s a celebration of gearing up for the back-to-school season! Whether it be for teachers, students, or parents, this card can serve as a delightful surprise to encourage the new school year ahead.

Fun at the Amusement Park: Celebrate Adventure! 🎡🎢

Next, I channeled the joy of summer fun into my second creation—a cheerful card celebrating a day at the amusement park! 🎠 For this project, I used the Cute Kids Amusement Park Stamp Set, complete with its coordinating dies. The vibrant illustrations of kids enjoying rides evoke a sense of nostalgia and happiness.

To elevate the theme, I also used the playful Mouse Bumper Die Set along with sheets from both the Love the Mouse and I Love Theme Parks 6×6 Paper Packs. The combination of colors and designs captures the excitement of a lively day at the park, making it the perfect card for anyone who’s looking to reminisce or simply share some joy.

I am excited to share with you a beautiful new stamp set released this month by Pajama Crafters Stamps, called “Unstoppable.” This delightful set features the cutest girl with her hair pulled up in a bun, confidently suiting up in her full armor of God to face whatever the day may bring.

This stamp set holds a special significance for me, especially this week, as my family and friends mourn the unexpected passing of my niece, Paula Kraft. In times of sorrow, finding ways to inspire and encourage ourselves and others is vital. This set comes with uplifting sentiments and features one of my favorite Bible verses, Ephesians 6:11, reminding us to stand strong and face the challenges with faith.

The versatility of this stamp set is remarkable! You can use it in your scrapbook pages, paper crafting, or card making. Whether you customize it with your favorite coloring mediums, use it to inspire others, or incorporate it into your Bible journaling, it’s a wonderful tool for expressing encouragement and faith.

It’s important to note that while this stamp set includes a Bible verse, it is incredibly versatile and offers more than just religious themes. The “Unstoppable” set features a variety of uplifting sentiments, along with the charming image of the girl in her armor, allowing for countless creative explorations beyond a religious context. If you don’t resonate with the religious aspects, there’s no need to hesitate in using this set! It provides a beautiful opportunity to inspire and encourage anyone. Non-religious sentiments such as “She believed she could, so she did,” “The comeback is always stronger than the setback,” and “The word of the year is unstoppable” are just a few of the motivational phrases included. Encouragement is for everybody, and this stamp set is perfect for spreading positivity and support in any craft project!

For my project, I chose to work with watercolor paper and created a fun distressed background that serves as a vibrant card front. I have two different versions of the card to share: one where the girl’s legs are hidden behind the “Unstoppable” sentiment and another that features acetate. In this second version, the Bible verse from Ephesians 6:11 is subtly placed behind the stamped image, providing an elegant touch of inspiration.

I truly hope this new stamp set brings you as much joy and encouragement as it has brought me during this challenging time. Let’s celebrate our “Unstoppable” spirit together!

Hello, everyone!

I’m thrilled to share my latest creation as a design team member for Pajama Crafter Stamps! Today marks the kickoff of the “Unstoppable Adventures” Inspiration Hop, running from July 18th to July 22nd! Head over to @pajamacrafterstamps on Instagram for all the details on how you can join in the fun and have a chance to earn goodies from our new release!

For my card, I used one of the new sets called Chillin’ With The Herd. You can find it here: https://pajamacrafterstamps.com/products/chillin-with-the-herd

This delightful set features the cutest cow and I wanted to showcase 2 cows enjoying a whimsical picnic together.

The Fun Technique

To create this scene, I utilized my Gel Press to make a reverse image of the cow stamp. By stamping the single cow onto the press, I could pull a monoprint that gave me the perfect reverse image to work with. It was both exciting and a bit of a challenge, but once I got it right, I was over the moon with the outcome!

I colored the cow couple with bright, summery hues using my alcohol markers to really make them pop. To bring the picnic vibe to life, I added a picnic blanket and various treats around them, creating a cheerful and inviting layout.

The Final Touches

To finish the card, I decorated the scene with some playful grass and flowers, enhancing the picnic atmosphere even further. I complemented the whole design with a fun sentiment from the stamp set that captures the essence of friendship and summer fun!

I’m incredibly proud of how this card turned out and hope it inspires you to explore your own summer creations with their new release.
