Hula or Hoedown!!! Scrappy Boy Has You Covered

🌟 Hey Crafty Friends! 🌟

Today, I’m excited to share how you can unleash your creativity using the mini album and card dies from Scrappy Boy! Did you know that these dies aren’t just for making mini albums? You can also use them to create charming shaped cards that stand out in any greeting card collection and don’t forget, can be decorated up and used as fun elements within you larger scrapbook pages, too!

In my latest projects, I’m featuring the January 2025 release, “Treasure Hunter Kids & Truffle Shuffle” and “Cute Kids Farming,” paired with some fabulous cutting dies. The shaped card concept is a fantastic way to let your images shine!

For my first card, I dug into my stash and found the shirt mini album die released earlier. I cut it out in a range of vibrant colors to mimic a Hawaiian shirt inspired by a cult favorite movie! 🎉 I love how the shape adds personality without needing to use every single element from the die set. It really makes the project pop! Pro Tip: Find patterned paper in place of die-cutting flowers and leaves. Use punches or color up on your own!

Next up is the barn card, cut out from the pretty pattern paper from the “Cute Kids Farming” release. I took inspiration from some delightful clipart and used my Copic markers to color in the barn, giving it that wonderfully distressed look. It’s amazing how the unique shape of the die helps tell a story – in this case, the charm of farm life!

Don’t forget, whether you’re using new releases or crafty treasures from your stash, let your imagination run wild with shaped cards! Happy crafting!

Hey crafty friends! Today, I’m excited to share my latest creation – a fun and playful dino band themed Valentine card, featuring the adorable Dinomite Birthday stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps!

Inspiration Behind the Card
Dinosaur enthusiasts, rejoice! I wanted to create something that not only screams “love” but also brings a smile with a hint of music. I picture these energetic dino pals jamming together, spreading joy and cheer on Valentine’s Day. With their fun expressions and musical instruments, they’re perfect for a card that’s both charming and cheerful!

Creating the Card
For this card, I used some vibrant distress inks to create a colorful background. The band of dinosaurs stands out beautifully against the softer hues, making for an eye-catching design. I stamped my dino friends with care, and I can’t get enough of their playful vibe!

Crafting the Perfect Birthday Cake

Featuring Forever 29 Stamp Set

🎂 Craft Your Perfect Birthday Cake with the Forever 29 Birthday Cake Stamp Set!🎉✨

Hey crafty friends! 🌟 I’m absolutely thrilled to dive into the creative waters with you today! Let’s explore how you can craft your perfect birthday cake using the fabulous Forever 29 stamp set from Pajama Crafters Stamps! If you’re ready to take your birthday cards to the next level, this is your golden opportunity! 🌈

The Forever 29 cake is not just a stamp; it’s your blank canvas for customizing stunning birthday cards that celebrate your loved ones in whimsical ways! One of my favorite techniques is pairing it with the adorable smaller stamps in my stash, particularly from the What the Krill set! 🐠💖

Custom Birthday Card with elements from
WHAT THE KRILL stamp set

Recently, I created a custom underwater-themed card utilizing this stamp set combo, and I can’t wait to share my process with you! Here’s how I brought my birthday cake concept to life:

  1. Stamp Image: I stamped the XL cake image onto a card front using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, which is safe for Copic coloring or any alcohol markers from your crafty stash.
  2. Color Explosion: I chose a vibrant palette of pinks, purples, and blues to create that enchanting beachy sunset vibe. These colors set the perfect tone for an underwater adventure! 🎨🌅
  3. Layering Fun: Using the Forever 29 as my base, I layered in the charming krill and tiny sea creatures, creating a lively scene that draws you in!
  4. Textural Elements: To make it even more delightful, I incorporated Stickles and Crystal Effects / 3D clear glaze bits for a fun effect and to add dimension and added interest. For a fun change, you could consider adding sand or grit paste and create a crumb layer, mimicking the ocean floor! 🏖️✨
  5. Limitless Creativity: The sky is truly the limit! Whether you want to create bubbles, seashells, or playful fish to swim around the cake, you can personalize it for any birthday celebration!
The perfect canvas for any celebration!

Not only does this project overflow with creativity, but it also allows you to utilize those smaller stamps that you’ve been meaning to incorporate into your crafting. This can be a cake for any reason….NOT JUST BIRTHDAYS! Think anniversaries, retirement, pet adoptions, graduations, milestones….let your imagination run WILD!

Grayscale Slimline Card feat. Scrappy Boy Stamps

I’m excited to share my latest creation just in time for Valentine’s Day!!! The additional space a slimline card offers, paired with an elegant grayscale palette, I was able to showcase all of the charming characters from the release on one card! I used the following supplies from Scrappy Boy:

💥 Math, Science & History
💥 Unravel the Mystery
💥 Stitched Scalloped Slimline Dies

I used Scrappy Boy’s nesting stitched scallop slimline dies and cut layers in black and white, as well as tucking a metallic layer for extra interest.

I also used a scalloped stitched circle for the sentiment. White embossed hearts on red metallic paper were made in an odd number, just 3, and placed in a triangular fashion so your eyes are drawn to view the entire project.

Use gel pen & acrylic paint pen for added interest

To add a little more flair and tie in the red metallic card, I used a red SHARPIE Creative marker and white gel pen, and coordinating enamel dots to finish off my card.

COPIC MARKERS: C7, C5, C3, C00, R20

2025 New Beginnings – New Planner Layout featuring NEW Planner Stickers from Stamp Anniething

The Sassy Club Spiral Planners

🌟✨ Exciting First for Me! ✨🌟

I just created a fun planner layout using my favorite planner from Sassy Club Stamps, specially designed for those who love using alcohol-based markers and other mediums! 🎨🖌️ If you’re looking for the best planners for decorating, the Sassy Club has a fantastic selection that I highly recommend. They have different styles, but this one is my favorite, it lays flat and the alcohol ink does not bleed through other side of paper.

Spiral Comes in Pink or Blue Laminated Covers

It’s been such a joy to color, ink blend, and experiment, but sometimes I crave a quick and easy layout that still looks like it took hours to create.

Cute Winter Penguin Theme from Stamp Anniething

Thanks to the new stickers from Stamp Anything, I achieved just that! 🐧💖 I noticed there are only four sets left, so if you love what you see, don’t miss out—check it out here: Winter Penguins January Sticker Set. http://www.stampanniething.com
