Wallys Love Letters

Hey there!

Today I'm sharing a cute card created with

Wally's Love Letters

from Digi Doodle Studios.

This sweet little guy is one of the new 8

Valentine Digi Stamps.

I love digi stamps because of the versatility.

You can adapt the size to your project and they

are easy to download, print and color.

This one was colored with Prismacolor Pencils which is

my usual go to for coloring.

I die cut with an oval stitched die.

Then printed the sentiment, which is included with the image, on the top.

The oval was added to

a background of linen paper with 2 patterned paper rectangles.

The red dot embellishments were punched.

I often do this if I don't have enamel dots or other embellishments on hand.

Thanks for stopping by!

Friday Night Lights Stamps

Dang, Whoa, Yikes! Word and Shadow Die

Legends Born Stencil

Create Background and Base

Starting with a piece of 4 3/4 x 6 1/4 inch piece of white card stock, stencil and ink blend the sky, using the top part of the Legends Born Stencil. Use a yellow marker to color the lights. For a little sparkle in the sky, add some stars and dots with a gold metallic marker.

To create the stands, add color, with markers, beneath the lights Small gold and dark blue dots represent the crowd.

Download clip art for the football field, print, trim and adhere below the stands.

Mat the background piece onto a piece of 5 x 6 1/2 inch card stock. Adhere to a side folding, white card base measuring 5 x 6 1/2 inches.

Stamp and Color

Stamp and color the football player from the Friday Night Lights Stamps with your favorite medium. My favorite is Prismacolor Pencils. Fussy cut and adhere with foam.

Add Sentiments

Die cut “WHOA” 3 times, 2 of a darker color and one with a lighter. Adhere the 3 together with the 2 darker pieces slightly offset behind the lighter. Add to a die cut shadow. Adhere to the card with foam tape.

Stamp the “You’re Brighter Than The Friday Night Lights” sentiment. Trim down and mat. This sentiment is also added to the card with foam tape.

The background and bold sentiment really bring this card to life, while the football player adds action and personality. This design works great for birthdays, encouragement, or just cheering someone on.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this project inspires you to create your own Friday night lights card using products from Pajama Crafter Stamps.

Valentine Tags

Tags are one of my favorite projects to create because they’re quick, versatile, and a great way to use up patterned paper and embellishments. Hey there, I'm here with a couple of Valentine themed tags created for my latest project for Clear Scraps.

For these I am using a Chipboard Pentagon Tag, a Chipboard Angle Tag and Chipboard LOVE Punchout Embellishments.

 

I started by choosing 2 double sided patterned papers.

Tracing the tags onto the papers. Cutting out the tag shapes and adhering to both sides of the tags.

Next, I chose the chipboard embellishments I wanted to use and painted them with acrylic paint to coordinate with the patterned papers.

I did some die cutting to add to the tags.

The chipboard embellishments are added to the die cuts and then adhered to the tags. A decorative strip was constructed and added as well.

To finish each tag, I tied coordinating ribbon and fibers through the tops for extra height, movement, and a polished look. These ribbon toppers add just the right amount of flair and make the tags feel extra special.

These handmade tags would be perfect attached to a gift, tucked into a card, or used as party favors. They’re proof that small projects can still make a big impact—especially when created with love.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope these tags inspire you to create a few of your own!

Purple Hippo Birthday Card

Nothing says happy birthday like candles, presents, and an adorable hippo popping in to say hello! Hey there, it's Judy V here sharing a step-by-step for my purple hippo birthday card project for Pajama Crafter Stamps.

Start the project by stamping and coloring the hippo and presents from Hippo Ho Ho Stamps.

For the sentiment I'm using one of the All Occasion Flashcards and foiling.

I cut a piece of purple card stock for my 5 x 6 1/2 inch card base. Cut silver glitter card stock to 4 3/4 x 6 1/4 inches. Emboss a piece of white card stock and trim down to about half size the card base. Trim down a piece of polkadot paper to about half the card base size and edged with silver glitter cardstock.

Die cut the sentiment flashcard with a circle die. I die cut a slightly larger circle out of silver glitter card stock. Cut purple card stock with the Circle Peek A Boo Die.

I fussy cut the hippo and present images. Die cut candles using the Bundle of Wishes Layering Die. I cut multiple times and paper pieced. Glitter gel pen adds a little extra to the candle flames.

Add the glitter card stock, white panel with embossing and polkadot paper to the card base.

Layer the circle die cut and adhere to the card.

Add the hippo, presents and candles to complete the card design.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope my Purple Hippo Birthday Card inspires you to mix textures, layers, and a little sparkle in your next birthday card!

Colorful Geometric Cards

Colorful geometric cards are simple to make and perfect for using up bold cardstock scraps. With just a few dies, textures, and sentiments, you can create eye-catching cards for almost any occasion. Judy here ready to share how to easy it is to created these cards or something similar.

Supplies

• Cougar White Smooth CardStock
• Lessebo Pitch Black Cardstock
• Astrobright Lunar Blue Cardstock
• DCS Canvas Textured Rubber Ducky Yellow Cardstock
• Bazzill Canvas Textured Peach Cardstock
• DCS Amaranth Pink Cardstock
• Pop Tone Grape Jelly Cardstock
• DCS Canvas Textured Mantis Green Cardstock
• Geometric dies (hexagons, circles, and squares)
• Embossing folders 
• Sentiment Dies
• Adhesive 

Prepare the Card Bases

Cut Cougar White Smooth CardStock 4 1/4 x 11 inches.  Lessebo Pitch Black Cardstock is cut to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch pieces. More Cougar White Smooth CardStock is cut to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches for card front.

Score the larger pieces of white Cardstock at 5 1/2 inches along the 11 inch side. Fold and burnish. This forms A2 card bases. Adhere the black mat to the card base.

Die Cut the Shapes

Using your geometric dies, cut shapes from assorted CutCardStock colors. I am using circles, squares and hexagons.

Add Texture

Run the die-cut shapes through an embossing folder to add dimension. This extra step really elevates the simple shapes and adds visual interest to the cards.

Arrange the Design

Lay the shapes onto the white card front without adhesive first.

• Overlap pieces slightly for depth
• Vary the angles for a more dynamic look
• Keep the layout balanced but not perfectly symmetrical

Once you’re happy with the arrangement, adhere the shapes to the card front. Adhere card from to base.

Add the Sentiment

Choose a bold, simple sentiment to complement the geometric design. Die cut out of Lessebo Pitch Black Cardstock.

• Position the sentiment so it overlaps the shapes slightly
• Use foam tape if you want extra dimension

Keep the sentiment placement clean so it doesn’t compete with the colorful shapes.

Design Tip

These layouts are easy to customize by changing colors, shapes, or sentiments. They’re perfect for birthdays, celebrations, thank-you cards, or everyday greetings—and a great way to showcase the variety of cardstock colors available from CutCardStock.
