Chip and Dip Week Card

We are celebrating National Chip and Dip Week at Pajama Crafter Stamps!

Yep! That's right! National Chip and Dip Day is tomorrow, March 23rd and we thought it would be so fun to celebrate! You'll see inspiration from the Design team all week.

Hey there! I'm here with my playful and pun-filled inspiration card that's perfect for the occasion. It's all about bright colors, happy vibes, and a little bit of humor—because let’s be honest, we’ve all been late with a birthday card at least once! 

Coloring the Characters

The stars of this card are these adorable chip characters from the Chip Chip Hooray Stamps—full of personality and perfect for this theme! I colored them with Prismacolor Pencils.

Card Base

My card base is red with a layer of cheerful yellow cardstock on top to really make everything pop.

The top white cardstock panel features a fun confetti pattern paper from the Birthday Bash Paper Pack, which instantly sets the party mood. I cut the pattern paper with the Stitched Scalloped Border Die.

Adhering yellow cardstock pieces cut with the same die set along the top and bottom edges, add that extra touch of whimsy and movement. I stamped "Happy Belated Birthday", from the stamp set, on the bottom border piece.

This panel is adhered to the card.

Focal 

Next, I add the bowl of dip to the left side of the card, along with die cut candles from the Bundle of Wishes Layering Die.

Add the other 2 chips to complete the scene.

The “Well, I’m a big dip” sentiment is the last thing to add. It really brings it all together making this card ideal for those “oops, I missed your birthday moments. Stamp on white cardstock, trim and mat with yellow.

Final Thoughts

I kept the layout clean so the bright colors and cute images could shine. A little layering, bold borders, and that festive background are all this card needs to feel complete.

This chip and dip card was so much fun to create, and I love how the pun ties everything together! Be sure to check out all the inspiration for Chip and Dip Week —you’re going to love what the team has created.

Mixed Media Music Tags

 Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a colorful mixed media project created with fabulous products from Clear Scraps. These music-inspired acrylic tags are full of vibrant color, shimmer, and dimension — perfect for gifting, adding to a junk journal, or even hanging in a creative space!

I absolutely love working with acrylic because it allows the colors and textures to truly shine while adding a modern, glossy finish.

Supplies Used

• Clear Scraps Acrylic Rounded Tag
• Clear Scraps Scallop Tag
• Clear Scraps Chipboard Guitar Embellishments -  
• Clear Scraps 6” Swirl Stencil

• Acrylic paints & alcohol inks
• Gold foil 
• Texture paste
• Ribbon & trim
• Adhesive 

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Acrylic Tags

Start by removing the protective film from both sides of the Clear Scraps acrylic tags. This is important so your colors adhere properly and the clarity shines through.

2. Add Color to the Background

Apply alcohol inks to one side of the tags. 

Let the colors move and blend naturally for that beautiful marbled effect.

Before the inks dry completely, apply gold foil by laying over the tags, gold side up, and rubbing. This is done in a random fashion. The foil sticks to wet areas

3. Add Stenciled Texture

Once dry, place a stencil over the inked side and apply texture paste through it. Allow this to dry completely.

4. Color the Chipboard Guitars

Paint or ink the Clear Scraps chipboard guitars to coordinate with your backgrounds. I used metallic acrylic markers.

5. Die Cut Music Staff/Create Sentiments

Gold music staffs are die cut.

Music-themed sentiments are stamped, heat embossed and fussy cut.

6. Finishing

Adhere the music staffs.

Add the guitars.

Apply the sentiments.

I adhered a few pieces of a gold mesh ribbon randomly for a little more texture.

Thread coordinating ribbon and specialty trim through the tag holes. I layered gold mesh ribbon and patterned ribbon for added texture and movement. Music note brads were added.

These tags would be perfect for:

• Gift toppers
• Journal embellishments
• Wall décor in a music room
• Handmade bookmarks

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this project inspires you to pull out your Clear Scraps acrylic pieces and create something bold and musical.

Wishing You a Wonderful Day Easel Card

Hey there!

Today I'm sharing a little inspiration for this month's

Digi Choosday Cardmaking & Crafting Challenge.

The theme, as usual, is

ANYTHING GOES.

I've created a twisted easel card in spring colors using one of my favorite Polkadoodles digis, Primrose from the Darling Buds collection.  She is colored with pencils and fussy cut. I adhered her to some paper doilies with foam tape onto the card front. Silk flowers from my stash and a bow were added.  Pearls were added to the flowers on Primrose.The sentiment acts as the stopper for the easel. It is stamped and die cut. I also added a beaded border.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great rest of the week!

Mother's Day at Polkadoodles

ANYTHING GOES

created with Holly Flower Basket Download.

I colored her with Castle Arts Pasteltint Pencils.

She is fussy cut and popped onto a layered, die cut oval.

The background papers are from

Winnie Daisy Fairy Paper Patterns 2.

I printed the sentiment from

Spring Flower Mother's Day Friends Greetings Sentiments Printable.

It was die cut with an oval die and matted.

A ribbon, bow and some gems were added to complete my card design.

Love & Happiness Card

Hey there!

Today I have a sweet card created for

Conie Fong Art & Design.

I have used the adorable digital stamp called

Kissed by an Angel.

The image is colored with Prismacolor Pencils.

I trimmed down the panel the image is printed on to 

about 3 3/4  x 6 1/2 inches.

A peach colored matting layer measuring 4 x 6 1/2 inches was added 

before adhering to the 5 x 6 1/2 inch, green card base.

I stamped the sentiment near the bottom.

An old acetate frame with florals that I've had for

quite a while was added last to complete.

Thanks so much for stopping by and

have a great weekend!
