Party Piggies with Megan
Hey all, Megan with the design team here sharing another Party Piggies Card. I don't think you can ever have enough Birthday Cards in your stash, and I adore the bright and fun colors in the Party Power 6 x 6 pattern paper pad.

I started by die-cutting a wavy rectangle from my stash and created a smaller space background for my piggies using Distress Oxide inks Salty Ocean, Broken China, Twisted Citron and Rustic Wilderness. I like to ink twice when using Distress Oxide inks on Bristol paper, I find I get a smoother looking blend by doing this. I did add a bit of Perfect Pearls splatter and a few mists from my water sprayer for extra texture.

I cut 3 strips of Party Power pattern paper at 5 1/4" x 1 1/2" strips and placed them in a slightly wonky pattern. I put a smidge of glue behind the green layer to hold the other two layers in the wonky style I had placed them. Then I used my sewing machine to add an outside straight stitch and zig zag stitches down the middle of the strips.

From there I colored the piggies with Copic markers, the combo for the pigs is R00, R01, R02, W1 and W2. For the cheeks combo I used R20 and R22. Then I colored the rest of the image in colors that went with the pattern paper. I cut the images out using my Scan N Cut including the sentiment which I added a pink layer behind to help it stand out on the background papers.
As I was assembling the card I felt the background grass and sky needed something else, so I added a strip of flowers and grass that I colored with Copic Markers before adhering to the piggies. The rectangle background is popped up on foam tape as well as 1 side of the sentiment to make it even with the stitching. All other card elements are adhered using liquid glue.


To finish off the card I added clear dots, white gel pen highlights, Wink of Stella and Stardust Stickles; as it turns out if I add less splatter, I am adding additional sparkles!
I hope this card inspires you to color up some piggies and be sure to head over to Crafty Stamp Co to check out the rest of the August 2025 release. Get crafty friends and have a great Wednesday.
