Lucky Rosette Bouquet

Looking for a great way to turn your paper crafting supplies into a dimensional decoration that would be perfect for a gift, party décor, or a cheerful seasonal display? Today I’m sharing a fun and festive St. Patrick’s Day rosette bouquet featuring several products from Pajama Crafter Stamps!

Pajama Crafter Products Used

You’re My Pot of Gold Stamps

 Emerald Isle 6×6 Paper Pad

Circle Peek-A-Boo Die

Scalloped Circle Die

Banner Die Set 


Making the Rosettes

Form each rosette by cutting two 12 inch strips of paper. I used a plaid from my stash. The strips for 2 of the rosettes are 1 3/4 inches wide. Strips for the larger rosette are 2 inches wide. 

Score each strip at 1/2 inch and fold accordion style. 




Adhere the strips together end to end to form a circle.




Flatten the circle and gather to the center. Add a punched or die cut circle to the center of both sides to hold together. Adhere to a slightly larger circle die cut.





Add Decorative Elements

Layer each rosette with die cuts to create depth and interest. I used the Scalloped Circle Die and Circle Peek-A-Boo Die to frame the centers of the rosettes. The delicate details from the dies add a decorative touch. I also die cut papers from the Emerald Isle 6×6 Paper Pad to use.


The center rosette features the adorable leprechaun from the You’re My Pot of Gold Stamps, colored and layered onto a circle background. I also added a die cut from the Banner Die Set to create a little platform for the image.






The rosette on the left features a sentiment that reads “You’re My Pot of Gold.”





On the right, the rosette includes shamrocks.




Both the shamrocks and sentiment are from the You’re My Pot of Gold Stamps.  Layering the dies and patterned papers from the  Emerald Isle 6×6 Paper Pad helps the rosettes stand out.


Once the rosettes were complete, I attached them to wooden sticks and arranged them into a small floral arrangement with cream flowers and greenery. The bouquet is finished with soft tulle and green ribbon to tie everything together for a festive display.




This project is a fun way to stretch your supplies beyond cards and create something decorative for the season!


Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this project inspires you to create some lucky St. Patrick’s Day crafts with your Pajama Crafter Stamps supplies.


Happy crafting!

Coffee Bar Wreath

 If you love coffee as much as I do, why not celebrate it in your home décor? Today I’m sharing this cozy Coffee Bar Wreath I created for Clear Scraps. It’s the perfect accent for a kitchen nook, coffee station, or gift for your favorite coffee lover!

This project combines wood tones, layered embellishments, and a touch of rustic charm for a warm and inviting look.


Supplies Used



  • Acrylic Paint (various brown tones + cream)
  • Patterned paper (neutral/linen look)
  • Adhesive - Mod Podge & wood glue
  • Burlap and lace ribbon
  • Hot glue gun
  • Red cardstock (for hearts)
  • Sanding block (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Paint the Wood Circles

Start by painting 6 of the wood circles in a rich brown tone. I applied a thin coat of paint to give more of a stained look. This adds depth and gives that rustic coffee house feel.

Let dry completely.


2. Cover the Decorative Circles

For the coffee-themed circle accents:

  • Trace the circle pieces onto patterned paper and cut or die cut as I did.
  • Adhere to 5 of the wood circles with mod podge.
  • Sand the edges
  • Apply mod podge over the paper to seal.


3. Assemble the Wreath

Lay out the wood circles onto a wreath form created with cardboard before gluing. My wreath form measures 10 inches in diameter and is about 1 1/4 inches wide.


Once you’re happy with placement:

  • Secure them together with wood glue.
  • Allow everything to fully set before moving.


4. Add the Coffee Elements

Paint the chipboard pieces with acrylic paint. Let dry.


Adhere the coffee-themed chipboard embellishments (coffee cup, beans, creamer, coffee bar sentiment) to the patterned circles. 


5. Create the Statement Bow

This bow is such a focal point!

  • Use wide burlap ribbon layered with lace ribbon.
  • Create multiple loops for fullness.
  • Secure the center with hot glue or wire.
  • Adhere to the left side of the wreath with hot glue.

Add a creamer embellishment to the center of the bow for a charming finishing touch.


I absolutely love how this wreath turned out — warm, welcoming, and full of personality! It makes my coffee corner feel extra cozy every morning.

Forever 29 Birthday Card

Birthdays are the perfect excuse to go bold and a little playful! For this card, I paired a fun tiered cake image with a trendy chalkboard-style background and a cheeky “Forever 29” sentiment. The bright pink frosting and festive details really pop against the dark backdrop—making this design perfect for someone who plans to celebrate 29 again and again! 


Pajama Crafter Stamps products for this card include:

Stitched Scalloped Border Die

Card Inspiration

The inspiration for this card design comes from Craft Roulette Episode #306

Parameters are:

My first step is to stamp the cake and present. Color them with Prismacolor Pencils using summer desert colors. Fussy cut. 

To create the "chalkboard" effect stamp images on black cardstock with Versamark ink and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Smudge a little white ink to the edges and in a few random spots. Trim this piece down to approximately 3 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches.

Make a 5x7 inch card base with black cardstock. Score and fold a 7 x 10 inch piece of cardstock at 5 inches along the 10 inch side. 

Cut pink card stock to 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches. A piece of stripe pattern card is cut to approximately 4 x 6 inches.

A scalloped pink border is die cut.


Adhere the pink mat and the striped card stock to the black card base.


Add the "chalkboard" piece and border.

Finishing

To complete the card design add the cake and present images with foam tape.




This playful birthday card is perfect for celebrating someone who refuses to age past 29! I love how the bold frosting and whimsical chalk details make this card feel fun and full of personality.

Hi crafty friends!

Today I’m sharing this sweet and sparkly birthday card created with Princess Molly with Balloon from Conie Fong Art & Design. Isn’t she just the cutest little birthday princess? 


I colored this darling image with Prismacolor pencils, blending soft browns for her hair and lots of vibrant purples and pinks for her dress to give it a fun, party-ready look. The purple balloon ties perfectly into the color palette and adds to the celebratory feel.

For the background, I kept things elegant with an embossed white panel to add subtle texture without taking attention away from the focal image. A glittery purple frame and coordinating cardstock mat give the card that extra sparkle fit for a princess! I finished it off with a few pieces of confetti embellishments and a shiny “Celebrate” sentiment to complete the festive look.

This card would be perfect for a little girl’s birthday or anyone who loves a touch of sparkle and purple magic.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out the beautiful digital stamps from Conie Fong Art & Design for your next crafty project.
