Hi friend, I’m Joy.
I’m a cardmaker, teacher, and a co-founder of Pajama Crafter Stamps. Through Joy Wilson Ink, I share my love for paper crafting with tutorials, inspiration, and techniques that help makers create beautiful handmade cards.
Whether you’re brand new to stamping or you’ve been crafting for years, my goal is simple: to help you create with confidence and joy.
Because crafting should never feel intimidating — it should feel inspiring.
My Crafting Journey
Like many crafters, my story started with a simple love of paper, ink, and creativity. What began as a hobby quickly became something much bigger. I discovered that cardmaking was not only a creative outlet, but also a way to encourage others, celebrate life’s moments, and build meaningful connections.
I began sharing my projects online through tutorials and blog posts, teaching techniques like stamping, die cutting, ink blending, and coloring. Over time, a beautiful community formed around the simple idea that handmade cards can bring joy to both the maker and the recipient.
And that community is still the heart of everything I do today.
The Pajama Crafter Story
As my love for stamping grew, so did a dream — to design stamps that would inspire other makers the same way crafting inspired me.
That dream became Pajama Crafter Stamps.
My husband Shawn and I started the company together, combining creativity with a shared mission to bring high-quality stamping products to the paper crafting community. Shawn is a United States Navy Veteran and the official king of dad jokes around here. While some of his jokes might be a little corny, he has always been my biggest supporter and cheerleader in this creative journey.
Together, we built Pajama Crafter Stamps around a simple philosophy:
Passionately Creating with a Servant’s Heart.
We proudly design and offer high-quality photopolymer stamps and coordinating products made in the USA, created to help makers craft meaningful cards and projects.

One of the greatest blessings of this journey has been the incredible crafting community.
