EEK!

 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.

A Witchy Centerpiece

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.

A Background with Attitude

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.  

Pumpkins, Pumpkins, and More Pumpkins!

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.

Color Palette

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. 🎃🧙‍♀️👻

Bunny Attitude!

 

Back the Blues with a Little Bunny Attitude

Sometimes a handmade card needs to say exactly what we’re thinking—and sometimes a little sarcasm is the perfect way to do it! This fun card combines the Back the Blues and Funny Bunnies stamp sets with a bold sentiment from You Are stamp set and the Dang, Whoa, Yikes word and shadow die set. 

The star of the card is the grumpy little bunny. With his crossed arms and unimpressed expression, he pairs perfectly with the sentiment, “It’s fine, everything’s fine.” Add in our adorable police officer, and you’ve got a card that’s equal parts cute, cheeky, and encouraging.

Creating the Background

I started by building the card base with layers of coordinating blue and patterned papers from the Savana Neutrals paper pad and the #100 Heavyweight Pebbled Beach cardstock. The combination of cardstocks, soft neutral tones, and striped and polka-dot patterns gives the card plenty of visual interest without taking attention away from the stamped images.

Bring on the Bunnies!

The Funny Bunnies images are perfect when you want a little personality on your card. I stamped the bunny and colored him in soft shades of gray, keeping his coloring simple so his expression could really shine.

And that expression? Absolutely perfect!

His crossed arms and skeptical look make the sentiment even funnier. Sometimes the image and sentiment don’t have to match literally—they just need to work together to tell a story.

A Little Blue Goes a Long Way

The Back the Blues images add another fun element to the design. I colored the police officer in traditional blues and added the coordinating badge for a pop of detail.

I also used the Dang, Whoa, Yikes word and shadow die to create the large “WHOA” element at the top of the card. The bold lettering, striped paper, and bright blue shadow make it impossible to miss.

Don’t Forget the Sentiment

For the main sentiment, I used the You Are stamps to create a playful message that fits the personality of the card.

The handwritten-style portion of the sentiment adds a nice contrast to the bold “WHOA” die-cut. Mixing fonts and lettering styles is one of my favorite ways to make a handmade card feel more dynamic.

Add Some Dimension

To finish everything off, I popped several of the elements up with foam adhesive. The raised bunny, police officer, sentiment, and large “WHOA” give the card plenty of dimension and help each element stand out.

The result is a cheerful, slightly sassy card that’s perfect for someone who could use a laugh—or simply a reminder that everything really is fine!

Supplies Used

• Back the Blues Stamp Set from Pajama Crafter Stamps
• Funny Bunnies Stamp Set from Pajama Crafter Stamps
• You Are Stamp Set from Pajama Crafter Stamps
• Dang, Whoa, Yikes Word & Shadow Dies from Pajama Crafter Stamps
• Savana Neutrals paper pad from Pajama Crafter Stamps
• #100 Heavyweight Pebbled Beach cardstock from Pajama Crafter Stamps
• Olo markers
• 3D Foam adhesive

Whether you’re making a card for a friend, a police officer, or someone who just needs a little encouragement, this design is a fun reminder that a handmade card doesn’t always have to be serious. Sometimes you just need a grumpy bunny, a little blue, and a whole lot of “WHOA!”

Caring Card with Pajama Crafter Stamps

 

You Are Strong, Capable, Strong & Beautiful

Sometimes a handmade card needs to do more than say “hello.” It can be a little reminder of just how amazing someone is—and that was the inspiration behind this colorful, sparkly card featuring the sweetest little bird from the Birds of a Feather stamp set.

I wanted this card to feel cheerful, encouraging, and a little bit whimsical. The combination of soft pastels, bright pink and turquoise, purple, and plenty of sparkle creates a fun design while keeping the sentiment at the heart of the card.

A Little Bird With a Big Message

The focal point of this card is an adorable bird perched on a branch. I colored the image with bright, playful shades of pink, aqua, yellow, and purple, giving the bird plenty of personality. A few colorful feathers add an extra pop of color and help draw the eye toward the center of the design.

I placed the bird inside the Scalloped Circle die, which gives the focal image a finished, almost medallion-like appearance. The dimensional layers also help it stand out from the purple background.

I stamped out the circle sentiment stamp from You Are stamps and decided I only wanted to use the outermost circle of words around the bird. Using a circle die from my stash and measuring it against the Scalloped Circle die I was able to make that happen by layering paper over the center. This card still creates a positive affirmation, which is a perfect card for someone who could use a little extra encouragement.

Layers, Sparkle & Texture

The card base is framed with a soft pink border, followed by a pale yellow patterned layer. The purple center panel provides a wonderful contrast to the colorful bird and makes the glitter accents really pop.

One of my fancy details is the scalloped glitter border around the purple panel. I continued the sparkle through the lower portion of the card with several horizontal strips in coordinating colors. These little details add texture and movement without competing with the focal image.

A sprinkling of glitter throughout the design gives the finished card that extra bit of magic.

Finishing Touches

For the bottom of the card, I layered strips of pastel blue and glitter cardstock. The varied widths keep the design interesting while visually grounding the larger focal panel above.

The result is a bright and happy card that feels like a little celebration in paper form.

Supplies Used

• Birds of a Feather Stamp Set from Pajama Crafter Stamps
• You Are Stamp Set from Pajama Crafter Stamps
• Scalloped Circle die from Prickley Pear
• Cardstock
• Glitter paper
• 3D Foam adhesive

Whether you’re making a card for a friend, a loved one, a teacher, or simply someone who needs a reminder of their own strength, an encouraging handmade card is a wonderful way to let them know they’re special.

You are strong. You are capable. You are beautiful. You are brave. And you are wonderful.

I also created a fun coffin card using the Coffin Folio die set. Since I was going to use "The Mummy," I decided to create my version of a sarcophagus! It was easy to do by adding the Egyptian Mask Card/Mini Album. I used papers and characters from the Hex Appeal release.

Additionally, I made a card using the new Gothic Picture Frame die set, along with stamps from Hex Appeal and the Halloween Pin-Up Girls.
