Pajama Crafter Stamps Lumberjack

Hello there!

I'm excited to be continuing as a Design Team member for

Pajama Crafter Stamps!

My first inspiration project for this year is a card created with

Lumberjack Stamps.

A fairly simple card design, I stamped the lumberjack image once and

the log image 5 times. All were colored with pencils and fussy cut.

As an alternative to fussy cutting, the stamp set is available with a die set as a bundle HERE.

My card background consists of a plaid patterned paper and some solid card stock.

The sentiment is from the stamp set and was stamped with brown ink.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my card!

I am an artist & designer living in the beautiful Adelaide Hills in South Australia with my husband and three amazing children! I love to create and am especially drawn to all things cute. I've worked on children's books, greeting cards, craft supplies, children's room décor, tech accessories, and more. I love to bring out joy and imagination in my art and create something a little different to inspire and make you smile.

With Love Card

Hey there! Today I'm sharing my first project for 2025 created for CutCardStock. I’m calling this a “With Love” card. This is a card which is appropriate for someone special for Valentine’s Day, an anniversary, or just because.

Card Stock Materials

My card design is simple and I am using a variety of card stock.

Cougar White Smooth CardStock  Stardream Metallic CRYSTAL (white) 105 lb Card Stock  Lessebo Colors Premium BLOSSOM Pink 83lb Discount Card Stock  Silk GLITTER Princess Pink Card Stock Stardream Metallic AZALEA 105lb Card Stock 

Card Base Construction

To start this project make a card base using an 11 x 5 1/2 inch piece of the Cougar White Smooth CardStock. Score the card stock at 5 1/2 inches along the 11 inch side and fold in half to create a 5 1/2 inch square card.

Cut a piece of Silk GLITTER Princess Pink Card Stock  to 5 1/2 inches square.

A piece of Stardream Metallic CRYSTAL (white) 105 lb Card Stock is cut to 5 1/4 inches square.

Adhere the 5 1/2 inch square Silk GLITTER Princess Pink Card Stock to the card base and the 5 1/4 inch square Stardream Metallic CRYSTAL (white) 105 lb Card Stock to the

 Silk GLITTER Princess Pink Card Stock .

Decorative Center

Next, cut a piece of Stardream Metallic CRYSTAL (white) 105 lb Card Stock to 4 inches square. Die cut a heart in the center of this piece.

Cut a piece of  Silk GLITTER Princess Pink Card Stock to 4 1/4 inches square. Lay the 4 inch piece of Stardream Metallic CRYSTAL (white) 105 lb Card Stock to the center. Tape a decorative heart die in the center of heart opening of the white card stock and cut.

 To adhere the white piece to the pink apply foam tape to the backside. This will give dimension. 

Adhere.

Add the piece above to the card base.

Finishing Touches

It’s time to add finishing touches.

I die cut two flower pieces and applied a little ink. Shape the flower pieces with a large ball stylus. Layer the two pieces. Add a white flower center and a pearl.

Die cut a flourish piece out of white card stock and add a little ink. Cut a sentiment out of the Stardream Metallic AZALEA 105lb Card Stock.

Complete by adding the flourish and sentiment die cuts and the flower.

Thanks for taking a look at my “With Love” card project.

Join us over on the CutCardStock Facebook Page and the newly revamped Facebook Group Creating with CutCardStock for more inspiration.

And even more inspiration can be found on the CutCardStock Blog.

Friends Shaker Tag

Hi there! Today I'm sharing my first Clear Scraps project for 2025.

This project is a shaker tag created with the Shaker Tag Circle which includes 1-chip tag base, 4 chip rings, 2 acrylic dividers (must remove protective film) and it measures approximately       4 1/2 x 6 inches.

I started by pulling out some of the materials I’ll be using.

There is a stamped Angiegirl image I colored up a while ago and thought would work great.

A circle die.

A patterned paper

Some sequins to use as the shaker elements and of course the tag

Trace the tag on the backside of the patterned paper, cut out and adhere to the tag.

I did this twice to cover both the front and back of the tag. 

I also added 2 pink border pieces to the tag front.

Next, I took out a stamp set that had a stamp with a friend quote I thought would be perfect for my “friend” tag. I die cut a circle to stamp on. This circle was cut the size of the acrylic dividers.

The quote was stamped onto the die cut circle.

I added color to the chipboard rings with a green sparkle pen.

The stamped circle was adhered to the bottom acrylic divider before stacking and gluing 3 all but one of the chipboard rings on top.

Add the shaker pieces.

Adhere the other acrylic piece to the last ring and apply to the tag.

I fussy cut the stamped Angiegirl image and added to the tag.

Ribbons were added to the top of the tag.

I die cut some flowers and leaves and pulled out a sticker and some mini flowers from my stash for embellishment.

The embellishments were added and my project is done!

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my Friends Tag.

The design team was asked to create a project, not a card, appropriate for a January Birthday for this week's inspiration. I made a gift bag and tag. The bag was constructed with white card stock and I added a band of patterned paper from 11 Icy Winter Papers Set 1 Theo Penguin. The focal is a shaker created with one of the new Theo Penguin digis, Sealed with a Gift Theo Penguin. I colored the digi with Prismacolor Pencils. The background of the shaker is from 

10 Precoloured Background Scenes Bundle Winter and Ice Theo Penguin.

 I made a tag using dies from the Snow Globe Die Set.
