I had so much fun creating this with some of my favorite fishy stamps and stencils all from Pajama Crafter Stamps.
Join us for ‘Fall for Our Favorites Week’ and be inspired by the entire Pajama Crafter Stamps design team each day.
Fall crafting is in full swing, and this card is packed with some of my favorite things about the season—pumpkins, colorful leaves, cozy plaid, a playful turkey, and even a sneaky little ghost!
For this project, I combined three fun stamp sets from Pajama Crafter Stamps: Food Coma Ready, Pumpkin & Spice, and Where My Ghouls At? The combination of fall and Halloween elements makes this card extra fun and unexpected.
I knew right away that I wanted my coffee cup to have a cozy plaid pattern. Paper piecing was the perfect way to make that happen!
I stamped the cup onto patterned paper from the Autumn Whispers Paper Pack and carefully cut it out. I also stamped the cup onto white cardstock. After gluing the plaid piece over the stamped image, I trimmed around the cup for a perfectly patterned finish.
Next, I stamped and fussy-cut all my images. I also used the Circle Peek-A-Boo Die, cutting the circle in half to add another fun element to the design.
I colored the stamped images with OLO Markers, using warm autumn shades to bring everything to life. Once all of my pieces were ready, I started layering them together to create a fun, dimensional fall scene.
For the card base, I used brown cardstock along with bright layered rectangles and patterned paper from the Autumn Whispers collection. I added die-cut leaves around the images to fill out the background and give the card that wonderful autumn feel.
I used foam adhesive throughout the design to create different levels of dimension. The cozy plaid coffee cup adds a warm seasonal touch, while the playful turkey definitely steals the show!
And, of course, no fall card would be complete without a fun sentiment. “Give ’em pumpkin to talk about!” was the perfect finishing touch for this cheerful card.
A little pumpkin, a little turkey, some coffee, and a touch of Halloween, equals a whole lot of fall fun!
Halloween crafting is always more fun with a little color, a little sass, and a whole lot of personality—and this “Where Are My Ghouls At?” project has all three! All products featured are from Pajama Crafter Stamps!
For this spooky project, I used the adorable All American Stamps to create a witchy girl. The bold Halloween background was created using Spooky Sorbet Halloween paper pad and stamping it with the Creeping It Real stamp. I also used cute pumpkins from Where Are My Ghouls At stamp set, and plenty of classic Halloween colors. The result is a fun dimensional piece that feels playful rather than scary—perfect for celebrating the season.
The star of this project is the adorable little witch in the center. She was stamped onto X-Press It paper and colored with Olo markers. Her oversized round glasses, bright purple pigtails, orange witch hat, and striped outfit give her tons of personality. She even has spider brads on her hair bows. I especially love how the purple and orange color combination pops against the background.
Her little cape is filled with Halloween stars and spooky details, adding even more interest while keeping the overall design cohesive.
Behind the witch, I used the bold handwritten-style Halloween sentiment from the Creeping It Real stamp and stamped this on the tiny pumpkin paper from the Spooky Sorbet Halloween paper pad.
The black lettering creates a great contrast with the colorful focal image and gives the project that fun, slightly sassy Halloween vibe.
The tiny pumpkins on the paper are pink, orange, and purple. This keeps the background from feeling too dark and makes all those little details come alive.
The bottom of the project is finished with a row of illustrated pumpkins from the Where My Ghouls At stamp set. Each stamped pumpkin has its own personality, with cute faces, doodled details, and little touches of orange and gold. The pumpkins were stamped directly on pumpkin-patterned paper from the Spooky Sorbet Halloween collection and fussy cut.
I love using pumpkins as a grounding element on Halloween projects. They instantly say “fall,” while the different expressions make this grouping feel playful and handmade.
The entire design is layered with black and a deep purple border, which ties the purple hair and Halloween palette together beautifully. The layered elements also create a fun dimensional effect, making the witch and pumpkins really stand out from the background.
This project is a great reminder that Halloween cards don't have to be spooky or creepy. You can mix traditional Halloween colors with cute characters, whimsical details, and a little bit of attitude to create something completely your own.
For this project, I focused on a classic Halloween palette of orange, purple, black, white, and pops of pink, with touches of green on the pumpkin stems.
The combination keeps the project bright and playful while still giving it that unmistakable Halloween feel. 🎃🧙♀️👻
