merry meowmas – StampedByKelly

I have a new technique obsession to share today!

Example of what I used to create airbrushed backgrounds

I’ve been experimenting with my Copic markers and an air compressor attachment, and I LOVE the soft, blended backgrounds I can create. Even better? This technique is easy to customize simply by changing your colors.

That got me thinking about the adorable new MERRY MEOWMAS stamp set from the Pajama Crafter Stamps August Release.

Yes, it’s designed for Christmas—but who says it has to stay there?

🐱 Same Stamp. Different Celebration.

For one card, I embraced Christmas with festive reds and greens.

❤️ 💚 🤍 CHRISTMAS

Then I took the same MERRY MEOWMAS image, changed my Copic colors and added a few elements from my stash to create a Hanukkah-inspired card.

The air compressor attachment made it easy to coordinate each background with my Copic coloring. I simply sprayed light layers of color and gradually built the intensity until I was happy with the result.

No complicated blending—just spray, layer and have fun!

💙 Why This Project Is Personal

We are a blended family. My husband’s children from his first marriage were raised Jewish by their mom while also celebrating Christmas with us. Today, they have families of their own who continue to recognize both traditions.

That makes creating for different celebrations especially meaningful to me.

It also reminds me that our stamps don’t have to be limited by the holiday printed on the package!

❤️ 🩷 🤍 VALENTINE’S DAY

🧡 🤎 💛 THANKSGIVING

🖤 🤍 💛 NEW YEAR’S

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 BIRTHDAYS

Change the colors. Add something from your stash. Change the sentiment.

Make it YOUR celebration!

🎨 Try It Yourself!

Grab a stamp that was designed for one specific holiday and ask yourself:

“What ELSE could this become?”

For me, MERRY MEOWMAS went from Christmas kitties to a completely different celebration with little more than Copic color choices, some airbrushing and a few creative additions.

That’s exactly the kind of crafting I love—using what we have in unexpected ways!
