Party Pig - What's Shakin' Bacon

The pig from the Party Pig stamp set is undeniably adorable and full of personality. Although this charming set has recently been retired, I didn’t initially jump on it when it was first released. However, as I started seeing stunning creations and heartfelt cards made with it by fellow crafters, I quickly realised I had to add it to my collection. Sometimes, all it takes is a little inspiration to spark a new obsession!

One of my absolute favourite elements of this set is the witty sentiment, 'What’s Shakin’ Bacon' —it’s perfect for adding a touch of humour and fun to any card. It’s playful, punny, and sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.

For this particular card, I opted for a cheerful colour palette of pinks and reds, which complement the playful and lively vibe of the pig. To make the piggy stand out beautifully, I used the Everyday Arch die set — a versatile tool that helps frame and highlight the main image with elegance. The arch adds a soft, rounded frame that draws the eye directly to the adorable pig, making it the focal point of the design.

In addition to the colour choices and die-cutting techniques, I added some subtle embellishments, some sparkly bling, to give the card depth and dimension. The combination of playful sentiment, lively colours, and thoughtful details makes this card a delightful creation perfect for birthdays, thank-yous, or just because.

If you’re a fan of cute animals, clever sentiments, and versatile dies, I highly recommend adding the Party Pig set to your collection — especially since it’s retired now, so it’s a little treasure hunt to find it! Whether you’re creating for a friend, a loved one, or yourself, this set is guaranteed to bring joy and smiles.
