Ah, Saturday mornings! Those magical hours when cartoons lit up the screen, and the Harlem Globetrotters whisked us away on whimsical adventures filled with laughter, amazing basketball tricks, and that unforgettable theme song. 🏀✨ Inspired by those iconic episodes, I decided to craft a Globetrotter-themed card to kickstart this weekend!
Creating this card was an absolute BLAST! I had so much fun designing an A2 panel to jumpstart my crafting and create a background to bring the images to life.
I spy a different athlete and they have a girl, too.

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news from Pajama Crafter Stamps—their Spring Release has officially launched! As a member of the design team, I’ve had the joy of creating with two of the four incredible NEW stamp sets being released this month, and I can’t wait to show you my card projects!
📦 Featured Sets:
The “Eggstra Special” stamp set is perfect for adding a whimsical touch to your springtime cards.
I used bright and colorful patterned paper, as well as some sparkly orange ombre paper to mat my foiled card panel. I created a background to represent an art exhibit, with these cute chicks creating their best painted egg “portraits.” The file is available FREE to you. I created a pdf file you can download with my background design for free.
Fussy cut the paint brush from the 3 chicks and piece it with the single chick image to create an amazing artist!Here is the “before” I added the paintbrush. I even cut his arm with it and pieced it into the single chick.Fussy-cut the paintbrush out and glue in place
Next up is the beautiful “Where Hope Blooms” stamp set. I used the 3 little birds, flower, leaves and cute kitty, sitting on a windowsill overlooking the city. This background is also available fir download to use for FREE on your projects.
Card Project: For my creation, I chose a soft, watercolored background look using Copic markers to mimic a colorful and bustling city. I stamped the images and colored them up, too. The smaller images are popped up with foam squares for a little dimension. I added a little white gel pen to put the finishing touches on my card.
✨ Ready to Create?
I hope these projects inspire you to dive into spring crafting! Don’t forget to check out the new release on the Pajama Crafter Stamps website and see the delightful options available using my affiliate link to let Joy know you like what I create!

🎉 That means it’s time to gear up for everything from exciting sports events to St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans—and yes, if those Stanley-style cups are your thing, we’ve got you covered!
Introducing the Project: Lucky Leprechaun Fun Fold Card! 🌟
Folds & Mails Flat – A2 size card
Today, I’m thrilled to share a whimsical St. Patrick’s Day card that features a fun fold technique. This A2-sized card lays flat for easy mailing but transforms into a stunning 3D display that beautifully showcases adorable patterned papers and festive images all in one delightful project! It stands majestically on a desk or shelf, ready to spread cheer and admiration.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
A selection of vibrant patterned papers that evoke the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day from the Emerald Isle 6×6 Paper Pad.
The cheerful Leprechaun, three-leaf clover and Happy St. Patty’s Day sentiment stamps are from the You’re My Pot of Gold stamp set.
Paper Trimmer, liquid adhesive, Heavy Weight white cardstock, Acetate, foam/dimensional foam popdots/tape, bone folder, scoring board, favorite coloring medium and black ink.
Crafting Details: I’ll guide you through the fun fold technique that makes this card truly special! These folds add depth and dimension to your design, making it a fantastic way to display cute patterns and playful images. Each layer tells a story, embodying the excitement of both St. Patrick’s Day and the upcoming March festivities!
Start with your standard A2 panel- 5.5 in x 4.25 in
Next, using a scoring board or your paper trimmer with a score blade and take your panel in portrait and score 3/4 in from the left and right longer sides of the panel.
Scored down the side at 3/4 inchPanel Scored at 3/4 inch on both sidesCut 2 strips white cardstock at 1 1/4 inch x 5 3/4 inScore BOTH strips using scoring board or paper trimmer at 3/4 in, 2 in, 3 3/4 in, and then at 5 in.
Scored each at: 3/4 in, 2 in, 3 3/4 in and 5 in
Then using your bone folder, mountain fold each
mountain fold each scored lineHere is what we have created as your base without embellishing or glue
As you craft, enjoy the process of layering papers and arranging your stamped images. Every cut and stamp will bring you one step closer to creating a unique piece that captures the essence of celebration.
Now we need to cut patterned papers & embellish
Green Plaid Paper: 2 thin strips cut 3/4 in wide by 5 1/2 inch long, glued to the inside of the A2 panel in those 2 flaps you scored on each side. Cut another larger panel of green plaid 2 3/8 x 5 1/2 inch. See photo above for placement.
Clover Patterned Paper: Cut 1 strip at 1 inch x 4 inches and another, 1 inch x 3 inches. I cut the 4 inch x 1 inch into 4 separate 1 inch pieces, which are the 4 clover squares below. I cut tge 3 inch piece x 1 in half, leaving two separate 1 x 1.5 inch pieces, which are placed in the middle of the 2 squares. The picture below should give you a good idea of placement.
All the cut pieces cut and shown where to place when decorating your stadium card.The back of project. Cut 2 strips of patterned paper in clover 3/4 in wide by 5 1/2 inches. These will be glued last to cover the seams along the side edges after you glue the top stadium strip and bottom stadium strip.
Cut a piece of clear acetate 1 3/8 inch x 4 inches. This will be placed strategically tucked inside the center panel, once the card base is assembled and decorated. You’ll want to use glue dots or foam tape sparingly to embellish the acetate, being careful of not having foam tape or glue overlap causing some areas to stick together that we want to pop out freely.
Final Touch:
Stamp leprechaun image with Memento black ink and color with Copic Markers (or stamp and color with YOUR favorite medium)
Copic Color Combos:
E05, E11, E00, E000, R20
G24, G46, YG03
Y00, Y02
E07, E37, E35, E33
C7, C5,C3
Complete your card with the adorable Leprechaun and a spirited sentiment that embraces the fun of the season. I used Seafoam Stickles (glitter glue) to add extra shine and interest to my shamrock and coins. This isn’t just a regular greeting card; it’s a joyful art piece perfect for anyone who loves a little luck in their life!
So grab your supplies and dive into this crafty adventure as we celebrate Valentine’s Day while eagerly preparing for the vibrant energies of March Madness!

Hey Scrappyboy Fans, have you seen the latest release of the Cute Girls Goth Girl stamp set?! This set is perfect for anyone who loves the darker side of life and wants to add a bit of edge to their paper crafting projects. Inspired by a popular cult classic cartoon turned TV show and dark comedy, this stamp set is the perfect way to pay homage to your favorite anti-hero, while creating a enchanting and unique card.

One theme that we can all relate to is a broken heart. Whether it’s a recent break-up or a lingering heartache, we have all experienced the pain of love lost. This is where the Cute Girls Goth Girl stamp set comes in. With this set, you can create a project that both acknowledges your pain and celebrates your strength. I chose to make a memorydex card. There are several styles of memorydex dies available at Scrappyboy.com. I layered over top of the memorydex card base. I also pulled in some of the coordinating cardstock, too. I stay within a 4 in x 4 in margin so I can use in my carousel style memorydex holder.
Photo blurred to prevent digital theft
To start, choose a dark colored card stock as your base, whether it is a greeting card or a memorydex, as I did here. This can be black, dark purple, or even burgundy. Use the stamp set to create a scene using images from the Cute Girls Goth Girl set and adhere to the center of the memorydex card. I used the older man and woman (couple) and stamped on Hammermill 100# paper with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored up using COPIC markers. For the characters in this set, don’t forget that you can customize their hair, outfits, and accessories to fit whatever scene you want to create. It’s a versatile set and can also be colored up to be bright and glamorous; however, if you are going for a dark theme, don’t forget to accentuate the characters’ eyes with some eyeliner and little dark lipstick to really give your card a gothic vibe.
Now, to address the broken heart theme in my card, I used a sentiment from the set that reads “If someone breaks your heart, I’ll nail gun theirs.” The sentiment perfectly captures the pain of a break-up, while also celebrating the idea of self-care and moving on with the help of loved ones.

Finally, I added some embellishments to the memorydex card to really make it pop and tie things together, by cutting a heart from the Memorydex Essentials Die Set (pictured above) in half and then putting it back together on the dex card. I then added several small silver flat-backed gems on top to emulate nail gun studs. Whatever you choose, make it personal and make it yours. Think outside of the box and mix and match from what you already have in your stash. If you want to purchase coordinating products in this release, there are lots of options.

Card features Build A Caring Bear Limited Edition Set by Stamp Anniething
The art of gift-giving isn’t just about what’s inside the box. Adding a personal touch to your greeting card can make all the difference, especially when it’s for someone very special. That’s why I’m excited to share with you this really cute new set from Stamp Anniething that can be customized for any occasion and recipient.

I created a birthday card using the Build A Caring Bear set, as well as patterned paper from the SUMMER TROPICS pack as a background. So, let’s dive in and see how to make this versatile square card.
The first thing you’ll need is a 5 1/4 in square card base. This size will provide enough space to showcase your creativity while still being efficient enough to mail. Next, you’re going to create your characters using the Build A Caring Bear set. The great thing about this set is that you can mix and match the different elements like faces, arms and belly tag to create your unique bear. I decided to go with a Happy Cupcake Bear because I wanted to create a festive and colorful birthday card.
Once I BUILT my bear, I started creating a fun birthday scene. To do this, I downloaded a free digital image that coordinated with the image on my bear’s belly. It’s easy to do and it provides a great way to add a personal touch to your card. I went with a cupcake!
I wanted to create texture on the card, so I used patterned paper from the SUMMER TROPICS pack to make the background. The bright colors and versatile patterns are perfect for a celebration and it compliments the bear image well. I cut a total of four (4) two-and-a-quarter inch squares and a 2 1/2 inch square in white and a 2 3/4 inch square in black to frame and then place in center on the diagonal using double-sided foam tape. I had a small square scrap I added from the Pets Grab & Go Box (no longer available), that I added to the center of the square.
6×6 paper pack – 24 pages
Finally, I added a sentiment to the top right of the card, wishing the recipient a BEARY sweet birthday. It’s simple, but heartfelt, and it ties everything together nicely. Added some Enamel Dots from Stamp Anniething to repeat the pops of color in a triangular pattern, to draw your rye from the sentiment to the cherry on the cupcake and back to the sentiment again.
Build A Caring Bear Birthday Card
In conclusion, with little effort, anyone can make a sweet, personalized birthday card using the Build A Caring Bear set and Summer Tropics patterned paper. You can change the occasion, color scheme or even switch out the face, belly badge and arm positions to create a unique design tailored to whomever you’re giving it to. It’s a thoughtful gesture that shows you care, and the recipient will surely appreciate the time and effort put into it. Happy creating!
