Hello lovelies!
This week I challenged myself to use the beautiful Pajama Crafter Stamps Pumpkin & Spice Stamp Set on a Christmas card! It did not disappoint. I paired it with the NEW Citrus & Scarlet Blooms Stamp Set – using the smaller poinsettia and the extra leaves to create a cluster over the pumpkins. I added some stripes to the cinnamon sticks to convert them to straws and VOILA! This is now a BEAUTIFUL Christmas stamp set. HEHE I do love mixing and matching and stretching my stash. But as the season is changing I wasn’t quite ready to be done with this Pumpkin & Spice Stamp Set….now I don’t have to be…I’m sure there are many other ways to use this stamp too….HMMM….I think my ideas are flowing now!
I paired my stamped images with the beautiful NEW Winter Parade Paper Pack. I have to say the colors in this paper pack make my heart happy. I love making Christmas cards – but I do like to venture away from the traditional red & green now and then….this paper pack is perfect for that…burgundy and teal – its soooo gorgeous together!
I finished off my card with a bit of sparkle using the Pajama Crafter Stamps Opalescence Confetti – these have a silvery look to them but also pick up the colors around them a bit. Perfect for that finishing touch – plus they would be so pretty in a shaker card.
It’s still November so the Pajama Crafter Stamp design team is still showcasing fun-fold cards….I’m not sure what the actual name of this fun-fold style is but I’m going to call it the “VW Fold” – if you look at it from the top (see pic below) you will see both a “V” and a “W”
This is the tutorial I watched to learn how to do this fun fold: https://youtu.be/mt5zmE4vFHU?si=LIvbZ94p9NOJ0A6i
I added an area to write to the recipient on the back panel tucked in behind that square….it peeks out when the card is closed but doesn’t take away from the overall look.
And that is it for me and my card today. I hope you feel inspired to pull out your stamps (ANY occasion) and get creating some holiday cards…
Please be sure to share your creations with us on our Facebook page – Pajama Crafters Stamps & Friends. We would love to see those Pajama Crafter Stamps & Dies being used!
Happy day ALL!
