Layering Favorite Products to Create a Fall Card

 It’s Fall for Our Favorites Week at Pajama Crafter Stamps! 

 We’re celebrating some of the most-loved products by showcasing 

creative ways to use our favorite stamps, dies, and papers.

For my project, I combined several of my favorite Pajama Crafter Stamps products 

to create a layered card design. Products used include Flower Child Stamps, 

Banner Die Set and Stitched Scalloped Border Dies. 

Papers from the Autumn Whispers Paper Pad and a sentiment 

from All American Girl Stamps are also used.

Create Dimension with Layered Patterns

One of my favorite techniques for creating a handmade card is layering patterned papers. 

Rather than using one pattern for the background, three papers from

 the  Autumn Whispers Paper Pad are used. 

Multiple layers introduce different colors and patterns into the design.

When layering patterned paper, I like to vary the size of each piece and

 leave narrow borders between the layers. 

This creates definition between the patterns 

without overwhelming the focal point of the card.

Add Decorative Edges with Dies

The Stitched Scalloped Border Dies are an easy way to add 

an extra decorative element to layered card panels. 

A simple scalloped edge can transform an ordinary paper layer 

into a more detailed design element.

The scalloped border helps break up the straight edge of 

one of the patterned paper layers.

 It adds a soft, decorative touch that complements the fall theme. 

Also, punching rounded corners on the 2 smaller panels make for additional interest.

Finishing the Card

Cut 2 banners with the Banner Die Set. 

Stamp a sentiment from All American Girl Stamps onto one.

Banner shapes are a great way to incorporate sentiments 

while also adding another layer to the overall card design.

The Flower Child focal image is colored with Ohuhu markers,

 fussy cut and added to the card. 

The last piece added was a corner from Fancy Corners.

The combination of layered patterned papers, decorative die-cut borders, 

a stamped focal image and a die-cut banner creates a dimensional fall card 

while allowing each favorite product to have a role in the design.

Celebrate Your Favorites

 Fall for Our Favorites Week is the perfect opportunity to pull out those Pajama Crafter Stamps products you love using and find new ways to combine them.

Sometimes, simply pairing a favorite stamp set with a different patterned paper collection or adding a few decorative die-cut layers can give your favorite supplies a whole new look.
