Crafty Stamp Co. Party Like A Panda Birthday Card

I had a friend request several cards using pandas so I immediately thought of the Crafty Stamp Co. set, Party Like a Panda! It is such a darling set and I'm sure I'll use it several times for my friends cards.

I used the Inspired By The Sketch Book to help with the layout and chose Sketch #7. I grabbed out the Birthday Brights 6x6 Paper Pad to go with my cute panda!

I colored the panda with Copics and might have been smiling the whole time I was coloring because I just can't get over the cuteness!!

Copics Used:

Ground/Shadow: W4, W2, BG02, B0000

Panda: C8, C6, R20, YG17, YG13

Balloons: Y17, Y15,YR07, YR04, R85, R83, BG75, BG72

white gel pen highlights

After coloring it was just a matter of putting all the layers together. Some layers are on foam adhesive to give the card a little dimension. The final step was to emboss the sentiment and get it on the card.

Have a super 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!

Crafty Al Member Challenge May 2026 | Color Cube Inspiration

Today's card is for the Crafty Al Member Challenge for May 2026. We were to be inspired by a Color Cube Card! I have a different set of Color Cubes than Crafty Al so I chose the option to choose my own, which I chose Color Cube Card 380. It has lots of bright happy colors and is sort of a rainbow which I know Crafty Al loves.

If you haven't become a member of Crafty Al's YouTube Channel, check it out! I love the perk of having the SheetLoad visual archive which means access to all the SheetLoad printables in one place plus she does freebies often and I do love the end of the month live where there is usually a challenge!! I feel it's one of the better channel memberships out there! 

I first chose my papers which were the Sunny Studio Rainbow Bright 6x6 Papers. Next was to choose my image and I kept my pattern of choosing a Unity Stamp to go with the Color Cube Card so I chose Little Miss Moo from the April 2026 Kit of the Month but she's also sold individually!

I colored up Little Miss Moo (what a fun name) with my Copics! I think I got the colors pretty close to the Color Cube Card!

Copics Used:

Ground/Shadow: YG17, YG13, YG11, BG0000

Cow: R20, E13, E11, C8, C6, C5, C3

Basket: B28, B26, B24

Flowers: YG23, YG21, YR07, RV19, RV14, Y19, Y15, V17, V15

Since my circle with Little Miss Moo was rather large I just decided only put one layer behind her. I stamped the sentiment with SU Melon Mambo ink to match the cardstock. The die for the sentiment is one of my new favorites, Whimsy's Quick Strips Dies. (there are several sets and I love them all! Quick Strips 2 Dies, Quick Strips 3 Dies, Quick Strips 4 Dies)

I always do a test run on how the card will come together before I adhere everything in place.

This card just makes me smile so big!! I really do adore Little Miss Moo and I'll admit it, I love saying her name, Little Miss Moo! LOL!!

I've had a few people ask to see what I do to decorate the inside of my cards. On this one I just added some strips of paper cut at an angle and staggered.

Have a moo-velous day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Grillin' and Chillin'

Today is my last card for the May Challenge in the C.C. Designs Facebook Group. The challenge is Anything Goes with the option of 3+ Patterned Paper.

I pulled out the fun BBQ stamp set and some papers from Not 2 Shabby for my card today. I do love eating some yummy grilled food!!

I needed a little help with the layout so I turned to a Mojo Monday Sketch~ Sketch 567.

I've used this sketch before but each time I use it I'm always thinking what a great sketch it is! Quick and easy but looks so good!

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

Inspired By Challenge #389 Bumblebee

Today I am playing along with the Inspired By...Challenge for the week. I was inspired by the photo which looks like a bee and a butterfly so I chose an image that had both! My layout is roughly based on the sketch as well.  

I used the Buzzin By stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps. This bee with his butterfly friends just makes me smile! He's so happy!! I pulled out some paper and dies from my stash to complete my card. I can't wait to put this one in the mail to bring a smile to someone!

MerMay 2026- You're Mer-tastic!

I have another fun MerMay card today! I used the Finned Friends stamp set from Crafty Stamp Co. and their For The Gentlemen 6x6 paper pad. Even though it's a mermaid card, you don't have to stick with just mermaid themed papers!

Don't forget that Crafty Stamp Co. makes it easy to find the mermaid themed products with their Mermaid Section! Check it out HERE!!

I created this card as a mini slimline card. A fun size that I often forget about but I do like it!

I colored up the mermaid/merman in koi fish inspired patterns. A super easy technique, just add some spots of a darker color and then pull that color out with a light color. 

I really like the sentiment, You're mer-tastic! I think that will make anyone smile!

Have a mer-tastic day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

The ProCRAFTinator's Club IG May Hop

I am joining in The ProCRAFTinator's Club hop this month on IG using the Pink & Main December 2023 Crafty Courtyard Kit- Bookworm. I think I've only made a couple cards from this kit so it was time to create some more!

The kit included 4 sketches so I took that as inspiration to create 4 cards. It feels good to use the kit instead of having it sit untouched!

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

Stay wild, flower child

I just got my first order of crafty goodies from Pajama Crafter Stamps yesterday and couldn't wait to color up the Flower Child stamp set! I just love her so much!!

I paired her with pretty papers and sparkly enamel dots from Not 2 Shabby and was happy to use one of my new Quick Strips dies from Whimsy Stamps. To add a little something I added a scalloped border using Border Dies from Jaded Blossom. 

I really like how this card turned out and can't wait to color up the rest of the stamps I got with my first (and definitely not last) order from Pajama Crafter Stamps!!
