Friendship Isn't a Big Thing...ft. Pajama Crafter Stamps


Hello everyone!  I'm here with a very cute card and using spring
colors!  I'm using products from


These 2 stamp sets work together well.  And the dies...the Scalloped
Circle Nesting Dies coordinate beautifully with the single Scalloped
 Circle Die.  Let me show you my process.  First, I found my background
paper.  This was a panel of splatters on white card stock using Distress
Oxide Inks.  I used a rainbow of colors, but this panel is so old I don't
know what the colors were.  I chose some card stocks that were a good
match to the colors and used the circle dies to cut graduating layers.  


I added some fairly light blue glitter card stock as the middle of the
focal circle.  I used a 1 3/4" die from my stash to die cut this with.  I
stamped out my images onto white card stock.  I wasn't sure how I was
going to cut the bird image - as one piece or separately.  But I cut
this little panel in half and concentrated on the birds.


I painted the little birds with Distress Ink.  Even though I wasn't
using watercolor paper, the card stock was fine with such little images.


I layered my background using the same card stocks as the focal
circle with the exception of the black.  I used a fancy scalloped edged
die for the splattered panel to make it stand out.  I also used some
shimmer spray on the splattered panel the layers for the die cut circles.

I backed my sentiment with the same blue glitter card stock and also
die cut a border of hearts with a die from my stash.  I cut out each of the
birds, and left a white white margin around them.  I popped up the
sentiment on some low loft foam squares.  I popped up the birds with
a much higher loft foam tape so they really stand out.  I scatted a few
Purple Heart sequins and that finished my card!

lavender, yellow black, white, pink, blue glitter
Distress Ink:
Dusty Concord, Spiced Marmalade, Warn Lipstick,

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial.  It was fun to make and I am
