Crafting a Ladybug Card with a hidden pocket to stash a gift-card, cash or fun momento

Creating a Fun and Feminine Greeting Card with hidden pocket featuring the Ladybug Die Set from Pajama Crafter Stamps 🌼🐞

Hello, crafty friends! Today, I’m excited to share a delightful project featuring the Ladybug Gift Card Holder Die Set paired with some of the fantastic patterned papers from Pajama Crafter Stamps! This combination is perfect for creating a charming gift card and greeting card set that’s both functional and beautiful.

What You’ll Need:

Ladybug Gift Card Holder Die Set
The Bees Knees 6×6 Paper Pack
Enamel Dots in coordinated colors
Solid white cardstock
Chipboard for reinforcement
Coloring mediums of your choice for your ladybug and flower
- I used Copic Markers, White Gel Pen and coordinating Distress Ink for blending the edges.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Cut Your Die Cuts: Begin by cutting out all the die cuts from the Ladybug set using solid white cardstock. This will provide a sturdy base for your project.
Reinforce Your Pieces: To make sure that your gift card holder can withstand multiple hands touching it, reinforce each die cut with chipboard. This not only makes it durable but also gives a polished look while reducing warping during mailing.
Decorate: Use your favorite coloring tools to color the ladybug and flower die cuts. Feel free to choose any color scheme that you think your recipient would enjoy! The versatility of this die set allows you to customize it to fit any occasion.
Assemble the Gift Card Holder: Once everything is colored and dried, assemble the gift card holder. It should have a snug pocket that can hold not just gift cards, but also cash or even a treasured photo from a special day.
Finalize Your Card: Arrange the elements on top of an A2 sized card panel and embellish with patterned papers for a card and gift combo that anyone would love to receive!

Why I Love This Project:
This project showcases the creativity possible with products from a small, family-owned business right here in the USA. The Ladybug Gift Card Holder Die Set is not only fun to work with, but it also allows for personalization, making your gifts unique and heartfelt.

I hope you enjoy this crafting adventure as much as I did! Don’t forget to check out Pajama Crafter Stamps to see all the amazing products they have to offer. Happy crafting! 💖

Creating a Versatile Card for Every Occasion!

I’m excited to share this A2-sized card project that’s perfect for baseball fans and can be customized for any occasion! Using the fantastic “Adult Sippy Cup” die and the “Let’s Play Ball” 6×6 paper pack from Pajama Crafters Stamps, I was able to whip up a fun and engaging card that truly showcases the versatility of these products.

One of the best aspects of the “Let’s Play Ball” paper pack is its thoughtful design. It features a delightful mix of baseball-themed patterns along with solid reds and blues, as well as stripes on the back. This adds an extra layer of versatility that makes the pack ideal for not only Father’s Day cards but also for upcoming patriotic holidays and a variety of other occasions. The combination of patterns allows for endless creative possibilities!

For this card, I played around with different colors and patterns from the pack to create a unique look. It’s not just a Father’s Day card; it can also serve as a simple “thinking of you” note or a celebration of any baseball-loving person in your life. The “Adult Sippy Cup” die is not only fun but also an essential addition to your crafting stash, allowing you to create custom cards with whatever paper designs you already have on hand.

I invite you to explore how many different papers from the “Let’s Play Ball” pack you can spot in my card! Want to get creative? Don’t hesitate to use your own patterns and colors to make a card that’s uniquely yours.

Celebrating Memorial Day with Creativity: A Versatile Spin on the Mad Hatter Card Die Set

As we celebrate Memorial Day, I’m excited to showcase two unique card projects that highlight the versatility of the Mad Hatter card die set from Scrappy Boy Stamps. While this die was originally designed for whimsical, themed projects inspired by the tale of the “Mad Hatter”, I decided to take a different approach and customize it for today’s patriotic holiday.

Project 1: Patriotic Themed Card

A mash up between Scrappy Boy & Pajama Crafter Stamps

For my first project, I focused on a vibrant red, white, and blue palette to create a heartfelt card honoring our fallen heroes. By changing up the colors and incorporating relevant embellishments, I transformed the Mad Hatter die into something truly special for this occasion. The combination of thoughtful design and color allowed me to create a meaningful tribute that resonates with the spirit of Memorial Day.

Project 2: Celebrating Birthdays with Pinup Girls

In contrast, my second project features the same Mad Hatter die set, but this time paired with the brand-new Pinup Girls Birthday set that was released earlier this week. By simply adjusting the colors and the sentiment, I was able to create a fun and festive birthday card! This demonstrates just how adaptable these products can be, allowing for endless creative possibilities.

The beauty of crafting lies in the ability to innovate and personalize your projects. With a little imagination, you can repurpose any die set to fit a specific occasion or theme, proving that your creativity is your only limitation.

I hope my projects inspire you to think outside the box and explore new ways to utilize your crafting supplies!

Happy crafting, and enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day!

Kicking Off Memorial Day Weekend with a Clean & Simple Card Project!

Featuring the Flash Cards PATRIOTIC
Pack of 24 card fronts -3 each of 8 different designs

Happy Memorial Day weekend, crafty friends! As we dive into the festivities, I wanted to share a quick and easy card project I recently created using a FLASH CARD from the Patriotic themed pack from Pajama Crafter Stamps.

For this project, I used an A2-sized card front printed on a heavier cardstock, which is fantastic for various techniques including hot foil, watercolor, and alcohol markers.

COPIC COLOR COMBOS:

BLUE – B02, FBG2, FB2
RED- R14, R27, R46, R59
SHADOW – BV20

The pack includes 24 panels featuring 8 different designs, with 3 of each—perfect for all your crafting needs!

I simply colored the image with my favorite alcohol markers and matted it with a simple black cardstock for a fun and delightful card. To bring it up a notch, you could foil the sentiment. I thought it looked great with the crisp black toner. It’s ideal for celebrating any patriotic occasion or just to spread a little sunshine.

I hope this inspires you to get crafty this weekend! Happy crafting, everyone! ✂️💖

Crafting the Card

I opted for a pastel painted sky with colors to reflect the joy of the summer season, and I just couldn’t wait for the NEW RELEASE EVENT today, to show you the finished product! I also incorporated a background I created and colored up to pair with the images in the set to create a fun scene.

Why This Set Is a Must-Have
