There is something extra fun about a mystery box—especially when you know it is packed with exclusive crafty goodies! The Scrappy Boy Stamps Mystery Box Event is coming August 13–17, 2026, while supplies last, and I had the opportunity to create five projects inspired by some of the products you may find inside.

Before we jump into the projects, here are the important Mystery Box details:

🎁 Mystery Box A

$95, including shipping
Includes 3 limited-edition 6×8 stamp sets with coordinating outline dies, plus extra goodies. The stamps and dies alone have a stated retail value of $156.

🎁 Mystery Box B

$95, including shipping
Includes 7 limited-edition card/album die sets, plus extra goodies. The dies alone have a stated retail value of $150.

Each box contains approximately $225 in retail value, and if you purchase both Box A and Box B, you will not receive duplicate products between the two boxes.

These are FINAL SALE and available only while supplies last, so August 13 is definitely a date to put on your crafty calendar!

A Creative Note: My projects feature products from the Mystery Boxes, but I mixed in some dies, papers and supplies from my personal Scrappy Boy Stamps stash. That’s part of the fun—seeing how these new goodies can work with products you may already own!

🐶 Project #1: The Cutest Toy

This one immediately took me back to childhood! I created a fun retro toy-inspired card with the adorable tiny-armed pup front and center.

And there is an important detail about this project: the toy-inspired frame is NOT a special die included in the Mystery Box. I created that look by combining simple geometric dies from my existing stash.

I love finding unexpected ways to stretch basic dies and turn them into something completely different. The bold red, white and black palette gives this card that classic toy-box feel, while the sentiments “The Cutest Toy” and “A True Limited Edition” couldn’t be more perfect for a Mystery Box project.

Dog – C3 & C5 Airbrushed on white

You can achieve the same look ink blending with gray pigment ink or stamping on solid gray paper with black ink. I made this card with scraps. These circle knobs can be found on the following products:

Stitched Circle Nesting Dies

Stitched Nested Rectangle Dies

Red Striped Paper – Love The Mouse 4×9 Paper Pack

🦖 Project #2: Big Hugs From a Tiny-Armed Friend

How could I resist this little guy?

This project became a bright, cheerful birthday card filled with rainbow stripes, colorful dots and one very happy green dinosaur. I layered different shapes and patterns to give the card lots of movement without taking attention away from the image. I used my new favorite die from my stash called Tri-Fold Card Die w/ stitched layers.

“Big Hugs From A Tiny-Armed Friend” makes me smile every time, and I paired it with “Birthday Adventures Await” to make this one ready for a celebration.

🥔 Project #3: Perfectly Put Together

This might be one of my favorites simply because it is so wonderfully silly!

I turned my card into a playful “Sweet Potatoes” design featuring a familiar pair of spud-inspired friends. The bold letters, glitter, hearts, polka dots and layered elements make this card feel like pure childhood fun.

The “Perfectly Put Together” sentiment was the finishing touch.

This is also a great example of why I love Mystery Box events. The new products can be the starting point, but you can pull out your existing Scrappy Boy supplies and completely run with an idea.

🚀 Project #4: To Infinity…And Then Some

We’re heading to infinity—and then some!

For this project, I went with a dramatic black space background so the green, purple and white coloring of my space ranger would really pop. The stars, splatters and circular galaxy-inspired sentiment element give the card plenty of dimension while keeping the character as the focal point.

This one is another fun nod to childhood memories without needing the entire card to be literal. I used the stitched nested rectangles and the stitched scalloped nested A2 card dies.

🌸 Project #5: Happily Ever After

My final project takes the Mystery Box inspiration in a completely different direction.

Instead of a character-focused design, I created a whimsical door card filled with soft pastels, flowers and a little bit of magic. The pink and purple door details contrast beautifully against the soft background, while the dimensional flowers add a sweet, playful finish. Flowers are from the Sweet Rabbit Back Pack Add On Die Set.

And, of course, “Happily Ever After” seemed like exactly the right sentiment.

Copic Colors

Purple door details – V01, V04, V06

📦 Ready for the Mystery?

The Scrappy Boy Stamps Mystery Box Event runs August 13–17, 2026, while supplies last. With only a limited quantity available, I would not count on these boxes lasting through the entire event.

Remember:

• Box A: 3 limited-edition 6×8 stamp sets + coordinating outline dies + extra goodies
• Box B: 7 limited-edition card/album dies + extra goodies
• $95 per box, shipping included
• Approximately $225 retail value in each box
• Purchase A + B and there are no duplicates between the boxes
• Final sale — no returns or exchanges
• Mystery Boxes may also contain previously released products, colored die cuts, papers, show-exclusive products and kits.

I will be sharing more detailed looks at these five projects, including the Scrappy Boy products I mixed in from my stash, but because these Mystery Boxes are available for such a short time, I wanted to share all five projects together first.

If these projects have you wondering what might be hiding inside those boxes…well, that’s exactly what makes a Mystery Box so much fun! 💗
