Pajama Crafter Stamps | Super Spooky Season IG Hop

The Pajama Crafter Stamps Super Spooky Season Inspiration Hop is officially live! Join the PCS Design Team for spooky, Halloween, magical, mysterious, and superhero-inspired projects featuring Pajama Crafter Stamps products. Start the hop here: @dannisdreams


For my card today I used the Pajama Crafter Stamps Halloween Flash Cards for my main focal point! I love that the Flash Cards from Pajama Crafter Stamps can be foiled! Which is exactly what I did!

I did some ink blending for the background using Awesome Sauce and Distress Oxide Inks: Villainous Potion, Peeled Paint, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Black Soot. Next I stamped the Creepin' It Real stamp onto the ink blended background. I even added splatters which is not the norm for me but I'm trying to do it more!

The foiled cat is so hard to photograph but in person it sparkles and shines!





Make sure you hop with the Pajama Crafter Stamps Team on IG and there is a YouTube Hop too! Here's the playlist to see all the video inspiration: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFLyPRRj-wYg&si=KscZQrgDBTusyffY

Pajama Crafter Stamps Shark Week | Hello Chum

Hello crafty friends! It's Shark Week at Pajama Crafter Stamps and today's card is all about the sharks!


Let's take a closer look at how I created today's card!

 
Ink Blending and Stenciling
It’s no secret that I love patterned paper and that is typically where I start but I have recently discovered the Awesome Sauce that Pajama Crafter Stamps carries and it makes ink blending a dream! I started with ink blending Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink with Awesome Sauce to create a beautiful, blended cardstock. To add some interest, I used the Sunburst Stencil and that same Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink to make it look like light coming down into the water.


 
I felt like the underwater background still needed a little something, so I sprayed and splashed some water onto it because Distress Oxide inks react with water. I set it aside to let it dry.


Stamping and Coloring Sharks
While my background was drying I stamped out the Hammerhead Shark and 2 of the Great White Sharks from the Happy Flappy Stamp Set onto MarshmallowColoring Paper and colored them with my Copic markers and then fussy cut them out.

 
Copics Used:
Hammerhead Shark: W6, W5, W4, W2, E04
Great White Sharks: C6, C5, C4, C2
 
Finish the Card
I made sure the ocean background layer was dry and then cut it, making sure to cut off the top and bottom of the stenciling where it didn’t fit the scene I was creating. I cut this layer to 4 ¾ x 3 ½ inches. I created 2 more layers, one in gray measuring 5 ¼ x 4 inches and one in white measuring 5 x 3 ¾ inches.
 
I cut out a banner out of more ink blended cardstock with the Banner Die Set and stamped my sentiment, Hello Chum onto it.

 
I adhered all my layers, popped up the sentiment onto foam adhesive and then added a few Opalescence Confetti Embellishments because I thought they looked like bubbles.




Have a happy day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

MerMay 2026- Make Some Waves


I found this Mermee already colored up and the yellow/orange combo yelled out to me to use her today. She comes from the Sweet November Stamps Mermees Set #3.


I wanted a yellow/orange background for her so I did some ink smooshing with some Distress Oxide inks and then used some Distress Spritz for some sparkle.


I added a few fish because I remember my friend Teresa always says that a mermaid needs a friend! 


Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

You're A Plant-tastic Friend

I had so much fun creating yesterday's card with the potted plant that I decided to make another one but this time I used the newly released Jaded Blossom Potted Plants dies. I still had out the paper and other dies from the last card so I just used those for this one too. 

I'm also entering this into Jaded Blossom's Monthly Challenge which is Anything Goes this month.




I keep telling my family that I plan on being a plant mama whenever we don't have any pets so I really am loving this plant theme I've been creating with!

Have a super day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Sweet November Stamps Fae-bruary Week 4

There is a fun challenge each week in the Sweet November Stamps Facebook Group for Fae-bruary!! For the final week the theme is Moon & Stars.

I'm not going to lie, this one threw me and I had decided that I wasn't going to do it but then I decided to give it a try, LOL! I'm not the most pleased with my background but I tried. LOL! I have a new paintbrush coming for splattering so maybe that will help in the future.

I pictured the sweet Fairwee Twirl fairies having a fun spring party dancing in the purple moon!

Enchanted Spring Flowers

I am trying to work on using stencils more and also ink blending. One of the things I wanted to figure out was how to emboss a stencil in my Big Shot and voila' I did it! I ink blended over it and love how pretty it turned out! 


Once I had the embossed/inked panel I needed to add an image. I looked at my notes and realized I can enter one more time in the Sweet November Stamps FB group monthly challenge so I went that route.

I don't think I've ever used the Enchanted Spring Flowers stamp set or if I have, not much so I thought it would be fun to color up some of the flowers and fairies/butterflies. I left off a sentiment since I don't know exactly who I'm sending it to.




I think it just turned out so pretty! Yay! I'm looking forward to playing more with stencils and ink blending!!

Have a magical day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

March 2026 Crafty Crew Kit | Pre-Order Yours Now!

It's that time!! Time to Pre-Order your Crafty Stamp Co. March 2026 Crafty Crew Kit!! The pre-order is open from February 8, 2026 until February 22, 2026!! You won't want to miss this amazing kit!!  


For today's card I started by doing some stenciling with the Little Paw stencil that comes in the kit. I used Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink for a pretty yellow. It's a very light yellow so it will be a subtle background.


After it dried and I cleaned up my area, I tried to match it to the papers in the Fur Babies 6x6 Paper Pad and decided that I didn't like any combos so I set it aside and went in a different direction! Does that ever happen to you? At least I have it for a future card!

I thought on it for a bit and then chose my papers. I usually go for bright colors but thought these neutral papers would be fun to create with.


I stamped my images, colored them with copics and then fussy cut them out.


Copics Used:
Dog: E47, E44, E43, E42, E41
Eyes: E35
Ears/Cheeks: R20
Tongue: R29, R27
Bow Collar: B05, B02

Pet Food: E35, E33, YR09, YR04

Fur Mama Meadow:
Skin/Cheeks: E13, E11, E21, R20
Hair: E27, E25, E23  
Eyes: E35, E33
Tongue: E27
Clothes/Bows: E87, E84, E81, E51, E50
Shoes: E87

For my layout I used Sketch 36 from the book available at the Crafty Stamp Co., Inspired By The Sketch. 

To finish off the card I added some white gel details and put it all together. I just love this kit so much and smile so much while I'm creating with it! Don't miss out! Pre-order yours before February 22, 2026!!

Cruising Critters

Today I have a card using another Sunny Studio stamp from my stash, Cruising Critters. I just love how many critters are in that car! 

I got lots of inspiration for my card from the Sunny Studio Blog. Their design team is so talented!

I started out by trying to create a road by embossing the stripes for the road but let's just say that was not a pretty sight so I ended up just using a white gel pen to create the stripes.

I used the Cloud Edger stencil from A Colorful life to create the clouds in the background. I am really liking how versatile the Cityscape Border is and added it to this card in white. 

To finish the card I used the Newton's Nook Land Borders die to create some grass and then added the Cruising Critters that I colored with copics and fussy cut out. I like the Sunny Studio has sentiments that you can build whatever sentiment you want, I added my sentiment to the top of the sky.




Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!
