A fun and uplifting card project
Hi and welcome! Today, I’m excited to share with you a fun and uplifting card project that I created using a brand new stamp set that I designed for Pajama Crafter Stamps. This project is perfect for anyone who wants to add a touch of cheer and positivity to someone’s day.
The Inspiration:
I was thrilled when Joy from Pajama Crafter Stamps asked me to design a cheerleader stamp set, and I couldn’t wait to get started! As a former high school cheerleader myself (a ridiculously long time ago), I had a blast bringing this fun and energetic theme to life.
With the cheerleader theme in mind, a pyramid formation immediately came to mind – it’s a classic! But I didn’t want to limit the stamp set to just one configuration. So, I designed each cheerleader as an individual stamp, which can be mixed and matched to create all sorts of scenes… or, of course, a pyramid!
The Project:
To create this card, I used the following materials:
- Cheer You Up Stamps
- (2) White cardstock panels 4″ x 5.25″
- Black Cardstock folded to create an A2 card base: 4.25″ x 5.5″
- Masking Sheets
- Black Ink
- Alcohol markers
- Scissors / snips
Links to all of the supplies I used to make this project are below.
I started by stamping the bottom 3 cheerleaders onto the card panel then stamped them again on a masking sheet.
Next, I carefully cut (aka fussy cut, or as Joy likes to say… cussy cut) the cheerleader masks and placed them over the stamped images. I then added the next 2 cheerleaders onto my Misti platform making sure their feet were touching the shoulders of the base cheerleaders. I repeated this stamp and mask process, working from the bottom to the top of the pyramid. I stamped the sentiment and to add a little extra flair, I also stamped 2 megaphones and the flag banner.
I balanced my design by having the flag banner in the top left corner and the sentiment in the bottom right.
Once everything was masked I did some ink blending on the background, removed the masking and colored the cheerleaders using my Copic and Altenew alcohol markers.
The message on the card is a gentle reminder that we’re all in this together and that a little bit of cheer can go a long way.
