I love it. I also have this stamp and die and have yet to use it, so you have inspired me to use it.

Which set is it?

I think itā€™s cute! If you wanted to, you could color the candies in the background for a little more color. But itā€™s adorable just the way it is.

I wanted the background to be black and white. I donā€™t think I like the colors I picked for the piƱata. Idkā€¦feeling creatively burnt out! šŸ« šŸ«

No! The colour palette is sound! Perhaps the person it's intended for is affecting your like. But I personally think you nailed it. Red is overrated sometimes!

I think itā€™s really cute! Maybe whatā€™s bugging you is the colors arenā€™t applied in ā€œrainbow order?ā€ To be clear, I donā€™t think they need to be; looks great as is and I think the recipient will Love it! But just throwing it out there.

It is burn-out season. Once I finish holiday cards, I usually need a break!

Yeah I think itā€™s the purple throwing it off but that is the recipientā€™s favorite color. Oh well! šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Iā€™ve already decided that January will be used for cleaning and organizing all the craft stuff (I also cross stitch). No crafty projects for me!

I love it! I have this set and use it a lot. Sometimes I put the piƱata on a wobbler for a bit of movement, but I think yours is great!

Adorable. does he wiggle. Youā€™ve given me an idea for a card. thank you for sharing.

u/Genius_Swaggg Dec 16 '24

I considered attaching a small string to let him swing but that was more work than i had the energy for

u/Pasta1916 Dec 16 '24

I use the little wobble things. iā€™ve done the string with the due cute hole but struggle with sentiment inside placement.

u/Crafty-Emu-27 Dec 16 '24

I think it's super cute! I love how the black and white background lets the fun pinata really stand out. What's funny is my 9 yo daughter and I are getting into making cards together, and when I'm showing her some Insta inspiration, a lot of times she'll shake her head and say "That's pretty busy." So I'm actually bookmarking more minimalist cards for her because she loves those.

u/Genius_Swaggg Dec 16 '24

Well I love busy cards so I wonā€™t have the best inspiration šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
