Be fursome, crafty friends! 🐶💥

I had so much fun creating this mini slimline card featuring the Be Fursome 4x6 Stamp Set and Super Stuff Pattern Paper.

I used my Silhouette to cut the letters and card elements from SVG files I created myself, then popped up every letter with tiny pieces of 3D foam. It took a little patience, but I love the dimension it added to the card!

✂️ Products Used:
Be Fursome 4x6 Stamp Set
Super Stuff Pattern Paper

Card Size: 3.5" x 7" mini slimline

Would you have the patience to pop up every single letter, or would you say “absolutely not today”?

Make a splash, crafty friends! 🧜‍♀️✨

I had so much fun creating this sparkly mermaid shaker card featuring the Make a Splash Meadow Stamp Set. I paired her with the Mermaid Dreams 6x6 Pattern Paper and the bubble wreath die to create a dreamy underwater scene full of shimmer, bubbles, and shaker sparkle.

I love how the aqua bubble die cuts frame the card and pull everything together with her mermaid tail. And of course, I had to add a shaker window because mermaids and sparkle just belong together.

Are you team shaker card, or do you avoid all those tiny sparkly bits?

Pup, pup and away! 🐶💥

This little superhero pup just makes me smile. I created this card using the Be Fursome 4x6 Stamp Set, which is coming to the Crafty Stamp Co. store this week, and paired it with the Super Stuff 6x6 Paper Pack for that fun comic book feel.

The stars and extra cut outs are SVG files I created, and I added a little texture to the comic dot paper by roughing up the edge with my scissors ✂️. It is such a simple little detail, but I love the handmade texture it adds to the card.

I colored the pup with Copics and kept the colors bright and bold to match the superhero theme.

Would you use this little superhero pup for a birthday card, encouragement card, or just-because happy mail?

I created this birthday card for my son Stephen, and I had entirely too much fun with it 😂

Stephen just turned 20, but Meadow has been teasing him about being old and needing a walker, so I decided to run with that joke and make his card in black and white like I was designing something for a 60th birthday. That made the Black & White Birthday 6x6 Pattern Paper the perfect choice for this project.

I also used our new Mini Crafty Spin Bearings so the little cat spins around on the card, which adds such a fun interactive surprise. To make it even more personal, I added the Vault-Tec logo to the cup the cat is sitting in because Fallout is one of Stephen’s favorite video games and TV shows.

I love making cards that feel really personal to the person receiving them, and this one definitely did that. Funny, a little dramatic, interactive, and made with love.

Would you go sweet or funny for a family birthday card?

There is just something so fun about making Christmas cards outside of Christmas season. 🎄💙

Today I am sharing this bright and cheerful slimline card I created for my sweet friend Crystal’s BYSHC – Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Spring Linky party. I love the idea of building your holiday card stash throughout the year, and these adorable penguins felt like the perfect choice for a playful winter card.

I used Cold Weather Penguins for my focal images and paired them with layered circles and festive patterned paper for a design that feels cozy, colorful, and full of personality. The little camera and the sentiment “Capture the Memories” make this one feel extra special to me.

I also made a video for this card, so you can see how it all came together. Be sure to hop over to the blog and check it out!

Adventure is definitely better with crafty friends. ✈️🐸💚 I made this card during Wednesdays live reveal using the new May 2026 Crafty Crew Kit, and I am honestly so in love with how it turned out!

I featured the Toad Trip 4x6 Stamp Set with the Adventure Awaits 6x6 Pattern Paper and used Sketch 62 from our new spiral bound Inspired by the Sketch Book.

I love all the tiny travel details on this one — the camera, map, suitcase, and sweet froggy friends make it feel so fun and full of personality.

I also shared the full video tutorial in today’s blog post 🔗 https://craftystampco.com/blogs/news/adventure-is-better-with-you-may-2026-crafty-crew-kit-card-video-tutorial

This card was such a happy one to make. 🌷🐰💛 I started with the March 2026 Crafty Stamp Co. sketch challenge and then added my own little twist by creating a soft sky and grassy hill scene for these adorable images.

For this card I used Positive Tate a Little Egg-stra, Birthday Brights Pattern Paper, and the Spring Breeze Stencil. I also used a hand-cut stencil design I made and named Clouds and Hills, which was really fun to play with. I’m hoping to turn that idea into something more later because I love how it worked here.

This one just feels soft, sweet, and full of springtime happiness to me.
