Today I have another project using the Date Night set from Pajama Crafter Stamps. Like last week’s Scrapbook kit and page, this week’s project is hoping to show you another way you can use this stamp set….
When I saw the popcorn & cola couple and the sentiment “We just go together”, I immediately thought it would be perfect for a kid’s Valentine card. I went really simple on this one. I colored the couple, die cut it, and adhered it to a white background mounted on red. I added the sentiment and now I am ready to send out a Valentine…next year. It isn’t too early right?
I hope you were inspired today to go back and look at some of your sets. They could be easily used for occasions that aren’t obvious at first but perfectly fit!
Today the Pajama Crafter Stampers are having an Instagram Hop with a theme of “The Greatest Treasure,”
When thinking about the theme, I decided that my greatest treasure was my family and friends and all the fun memories we have made together. I decided that a scrapbook page would be so much fun but…I don’t scrap book much anymore. My sister does though so I asked her if would she scrap it if I created a scrapbook layout “kit” for her. She agreed and so I got to work. We had phone calls , texts, and fun creating the page and while doing so, we made another memory together by collaborating on this project.
For my “kit”, I created a bunch of journal boxes and mounting boxes and some circles so she would have a choice when building her page. Then I created a black and white background page using the small hearts and stars elements. I colored up several of the film canisters and film strips as well as the popcorn and cola couples for her to use on borders. I colored up the Date night marquee and die cut it as well as several more in black to create a shadow behind it. Finally I created my favorite element…a shaker. I inked up and colored several pieces of popcorn and die cut it in a circle to be my shaker background. Then I inked, colored, and fussy cut a bunch of popcorn pieces and movie tickets to use as my shaker pieces. Then I package it all together and took it to her and my job was done.
Her Page turned out so cute! It is a pic of her and my brother-in-law IN a theater ON a movie date night. I love it and am so happy we got to work on this together.
I hope you were inspired today – It is a lot of fun to use these stamps in new and different ways; don’t you think? Now – go ahead an “pop” over to Instagram and hop along with PAJAMA CRAFTER STAMPS – there are prizes and lots more inspiration!
Today I have another fun card using the Happy Beach Critters set from Prickley Pear at Pajama Crafter Stamps. I found a beach scene background in my stash so I thought this one was meant to be – these birds on the beach are perfect right?
The background scene is created using Distress Oxides. It had the tag die cut from the middle already so I went with it and created a little dimension by building up the frame piece.
I inked the beach bird on the background then inked it again on Xpress it Blender paper where I colored it with Copics. I cut out just the top part and glued it onto the one inked onto the background – this way I got legs without having to cut out legs. On the same course, I inked the flying bird onto the Xpress it and colored it with Copics. So I could cut just the outline, I colored the “sky” pieces inside the lei with Copics that matched the background. You can’t tell it’s not the actual background right?
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you were inspired today!
Today I have a super fun card using the Happy Beach Critters set from Prickley Pear at Pajama Crafter Stamps. I really wanted to do an underwater background that I could pair with the cute turtles in the set. I searched for a background tutorial online and found one HERE , and the best part is she used turtles on her sample so I knew it would be perfect but what do you think?
I used a sun ray stencil ( I couldn’t believe I had one), blue Distress Inks from the tutorial, and I colored my turtles with Copics and fussy cut them and glued them and the sentiment block to my background panel. I actually love this one! I is sweet and simple and turtley adorable 🙂
After I created my card I couldn’t help smiling – it reminded me of the scene in Finding Nemo where he is riding Crush. Amiright?
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you ae inspired to try anew background technique!
Today I have a Bible journal card project. Easter is this weekend and I really wanted to do some Bible journaling. I decided to use my pocket Bible so it was easier to create a journal card rather than journaling in my little Bible.
I wanted to journal John 3:16. “For God so loved the world,[a] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” When studying this verse, I found thisstatement and it really resonated “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us.” That idea is what I decided to journal.
I had a leftover cross from my last play with the Crosses 2 set and I didn’t want it to go to waste. I die cut another cross and inked it with Chipped Sapphire Oxide Ink so it could act as a shadow for my main cross. I then dug through my stash and found some mixed media backgrounds. I matched one up to my cross and cut it to fit in my Bible (about 3″x4″) I added a pieces of Washi, doodled a border and added the sentiments to bring my idea together.
I hope you have a blessed Easter full of family and fun but above all remember the Love of Jesus Christ our Savior on this day – it is something to REJOICE!
Today there is an Instagram hop for Pajama Crafter’s Stamps. This month our projects feature both previously released and brand new products! We hope you will join us! Head on over to the Pajama Crafters Instagram page to get started (@pajamacrafterstamps). There is a prize available but more than that, there is a ton of inspiration!
I have an Easter card using a Prickley Pear Stamp called Crosses 2 and the coordinating die. I embossed the image with gold embossing powder on Bristol Smooth cardstock and I used water colors for a soft bit of color. I added some tiny pearls and that is all there is to my card.
Today I have a super sweet card using Prickley Pear’s Stamp called Noah’s Ark. My first card using this set used half of the bigger image but this card uses several of the small images. I created a very simple scene where the little turtle family is essentially walking across the bottom of the card. I needed a simple sentiment to go with it so I dug through the sets in my stash and thought the small “I love you” from Lovely Bouquet would be perfect.
I stamped my scene directly onto a kraft card and colored it with Polychromos pencils (very sharp pencils – those are some small images haha!)
I hope you like it and are inspired to look at your stamps in a new way. By utilizing the smaller stamps in a set, you get another possibility!
Today I have a card using a Prickley Pear Stamp called Noah’s Ark. I have big plans for the stamp set as a whole but I thought it would be fun to do a project using only half of the main image. It really takes on a whole new look when you use just a piece of the stamp!
I added a few of the small stamps to build my scene (the sun, flowers, birds and cloud) then colored it with Copic markers. I grabbed a sentiment from the Fall Leaves set (this set is retiring but this sentiment is one of my new favorites so I will use it until I find a new favorite. 🙂 I used some stash backgrounds to add a little dimension then I added to my little panel.
I hope you like it and are inspired to look at your stamps in a new way. By stamping only part of the image, you may find you get new life from them.
Sometimes you just want to make a sweet, simple card. Today’s card is super simple but so adorable because of the cute little kitten from Pajama Crafter Stamps called High Five to Jesus. I love that he has his paw in the position to high five. I love this! It will perfect for a congratulations card.
I colored the kitten with Polychromos pencils. Because I wanted to do simple shading but didn’t want to tackle all of those kitty hairs, I just went monochrome with shades of warm gray. Way different from my last one that was practically tie-dyed haha!
I hope you like this one and are inspired to color – try color pencils if you haven’t. They are a lot of fun!
Today I have a fun card using the new stamp set High Five to Jesus from Pajama Crafter Stamps.
I decided to use some color pencils and color it tie-dye(ish). I had a piece of water colored paper in my stash so I used it for the base color. I wanted it to be bright and colorful because I I have a teenager in need of a congratulations. I hope she likes it!
