Today I have a card using the Magical Enchanted Day stamp set from Prickley Pear at Pajama Crafter Stamps.
I decided to go with a round card for fun. I stamped the wreath onto the round panel and colored it with Polychromos pencils – I think they gave it a little more whimsy. What do you think? I added my sentiment and a few enamel dots and this one is ready to be sent.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you are inspired to try a different shaped card – they are super fun!
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 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 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!
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!
Today Pajama Crafter Stamper’s is doing an Instagram hop. The theme is Spring
For me, nothing says Spring like flowers! So for my project, I used the new Lovely Bouquet stamp set. I had a piece of “designer paper” that I saved from a calendar planner and I decided to finally use it. I colored my flowers with Copics I thought matched the paper. To add a little interest, I used the Stitched Scalloped Borders Dies for the bottom of my sentiment strip. I am in need of some birthday cards so I used the birthday sentiment from Best Unicorn Buddies to finish off my card.Â
Come join the hop @pajamacrafterstamps for lots of inspiration!
Today I have a couple of cards using the new Lovely Bouquet stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps.
For both I just had a fun “play time” – I went with a simple watercolor technique by stamping a couple of colors of Distress Inks on my kraft mat, spritzing it with water, tapping my stamp into it, then stamping it onto some Bristol Smooth paper. For added texture, I let the ink dry a bit then gently tapped the paper into some leftover wet ink and stenciled some dots using one of the colors.
For the first card, I cut the panel down using a stitched rectangle die, added a sentiment from Doctor Koala Bear – Get Well Soon, then added a “frame” that I found on my desk ( I have a hard time throwing things away so it was a win this time 🙂 )Do you save scraps too?
My second card has a bigger panel that I mounted on some melon pink card stock. I added the Mother’s Day sentiment and some clear gems. It is sweet and simple and I love it. I can’t believe I have a Mother’s Day card already!
I hope you were inspired. This technique is super fun – If you haven’t tried it before, you really should!
