Color Me Happy Pajama Crafter Stamps July IG Hop

It's time to hop on IG with the Pajama Crafter Stamps design team! Be sure to hop and see all the fabulous creations! You can find me @dannisdreams where I'll have the whole hop list!

I colored the flowers from the Together Stamp Set for my card today! They are so beautiful and brought me so much happiness to color them with my Copics.

Copics Used:

YG97, YG63, YG13, YR07, R85, R83, R81

I used a white gel pen for details.

Once the flowers were colored I used my Scan N Cut to cut the flowers out. I used some dies from my stash to create the layers for the front using cardstock and the Spring Plaids 6x6 Paper Pad.

To finish the card I popped the flowers and heat embossed sentiment strips up on foam dimensionals and added some pearls. I think it turned out so pretty!

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

Pajama Crafter Stamps Summer Week | Savanna Babies

Summer! What does it mean to you? For me it's hot and humid and I stay inside as much as possible but I do love that it means weekly trips to the zoo with one of my best friends to walk!

The zoo is one of my happy places and I just LOVE going, even when it's hot and humid, LOL! My favorite animal is the elephant but truthfully I love them all. Fun fact, we moved to the Omaha, Nebraska area so I could work at the zoo (#1 Zoo in the US for many years). I did work there for awhile in guest services and still love visiting as often as I can, which is quite a bit!!

For today's card I thought the Savanna Babies stamp set was perfect to represent what I love about summer! They are such adorable little baby animals!

I stamped them all onto Marshmallow Coloring Paper and colored them up with my Copic markers.

Copics Used:

Giraffe: YR27, YR24, YR23, YR21, E37, R21

Lion: YR15, YR14, YR12, YR23, YR21, YR20, E37, R21

Elephant: C5, C3, C1, R21

Zebra: C7, C5, C3, C1, R21

I used a die from my stash for the layout. I thought it needed a little bit of something to each rectangle so I used the Stitched Scalloped Border Die Set to create some ground for my animals. 

Next I stamped Happy Birthday from the Mix & Match Celebration Sentiments onto the ground piece by the baby lion. The paper in the background is from the Spring Plaids 6x6 paper pad. The animals are all on foam dots to add some dimension.

To finish the card off I added some iridescent confetti from my stash. I think the card turned out so adorable!! 

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

Crafty Stamp Co. Mama Ayla Card Inspiration

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a pretty mother-to-be card using the Mama Ayla Stamp Set from Crafty Stamp Co. I wanted to do some different colors than the typical baby/mother-to-be cards so I went with some yellows and oranges. I also decided to not use your typical papers and used the beautiful Summer Lemons & Daisies 6x6 Paper.

I used a die from my stash to create the layout for my card that helps to highlight Mama Ayla and the different baby accessories. The give the cardstock layer some texture I embossed it.

Mama Ayla and the accessories are colored with Copics and have white gel pen highlights.

Copics Used:

Skin/Lips: E13, E11, E0000, R20, R27

Hair: E57, E55, E33, E53

Eyes: YG67, YG63

Dress: Y28, Y26, Y23

Stroller: W6, C7, YR15, YR14, YR12

Onesie: YR27, YR24, YR23, YR21

Bottle: E13, E11, BG10

Butterfly: YR21, YR23

Rattle/Pacifier/Teether on inside: YR27, YR24, YR23, YR21, YR15, YR14, YR12

I added some dimension by adding some foam tape to the cardstock layer and also to all the images.

I finished off the card by stamping the sentiment, "Being a Mother is learning about strengths you didn't know you had", on the inside and carrying the theme inside with more baby accessories.

I really love how it came out and think it is just so beautiful! Have a wonderful day and go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Craft Roulette #322 Card

I haven't done a Craft Roulette card in so long, umm since May 2023, shame on me! I always have the greatest intentions but poor follow through. Trying to change that since I will be attending the Craft Roulette Live this year in Kansas City with my bestie, Crafty Al.

This makes my 7th contribution to Craft Roulette. I have been a guest twice way back when, LOL!

For Episode 322 with Crafty Al, the parameters that needed to be on the card are: Project- Postcard, Colors-1970's Colors, Element-Wreath and Random-Pre-Printed.

Here's how I interpreted those parameters:

Postcard- My project is a 4x6 size which is the standard postcard size.

Colors- lots of Earthy colors that represent the 70's

Element- my cute girl has a flower wreath in her hair

Random- my patterned paper is pre-printed

I used the Flower Child stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps as she is quickly becoming one of my most favorite stamps! My paper is retired from Scrappy Boy Stamps and is called A 70's Family Paper Pack. 

I colored up the sweet Flower Child with Copics to match the paper,

Copics Used:

Skin/Blush: E13, E11, E21, R20
Hair: YR27, YR24, YR23

Eyes: B06, B04

Shirt/Necklace: YR09, YR07

Overalls/Base of Floral Wreath: B99, B97, B95, B93

Belt/Shoes: E35, E33

Flowers: E27, YG97, Y28, Y26, YR68, YR65, R35, R32, B14, B12

I added some white gel pen highlights once I was done coloring. My final steps were to stamp my sentiment onto one of the Whimsy Quick Strips 4 die cuts in SU Boho Blue to match my cardstock.

Isn't she such a doll!!! I just love her! 

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

Bee Kind

As the weather gets warmer I love to see the bees buzzing around flowers! As a child I was not overly happy with bees and scared of them but as an adult I really enjoy them and have learned more about them. If I had a house in the country I would love to have my own hives but at the moment, that's a dream.

I pulled out the Crafty Stamp Co. Buzzy Bee Meadow stamp set today since my mind was on bees! I paired the stamp set with the Buzy Buzzin' 6x6 Paper Pad, also from Crafty Stamp Co.

I used Sketch #15 from the Inspired By The Sketch Book for my layout. I just love this book full of sketches so much! It helps me when I feel "stuck" on a card!

Once I had all my papers cut and laid out for the card, I stamped the images and colored them up and cut them out.

The next step was to stamp out a sentiment and add some sparkle. The card came together easily after that! A super sweet card to bring smiles to anyone!

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

To start my card today I chose and cut some papers from the Little Paws 6x6 Paper Pad included with the kit. I used dies from my stash for some of the pieces.

I knew I was going to make several cards with this fun kit so I stamped out all the images and cut them out with my Scan N Cut. Next I chose which images I wanted to use today and colored them with my copics.

For my first card I used the super cute Poolside Vibes stamp set from The Greeting Farm. I don't see it on the website so it might be retired. I colored up the cuties in their innertubes with copics and then used my Scan n' Cut to cut them out. Then I built the card around them with some Simple Stories Sunkissed 6x8 paper and dies from my stash!

I pulled out the Colorado Craft Company Recharge stamp/die set for my next card. I paired the copic colored image with some Basic Grey Marjolaine paper (from 2010!!). I used some Scrappy Boy Stamps dies--I am in love with the Treasure Map Nested Dies as they are just so different and fun. To finish off the card I added some Not 2 Shabby Grunge & Grit enamel dots. A nice card that is a bit more on the masculine side.

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