Happy Monday, crafty friends! Today I’m sharing three playful projects featuring Scrappy Boy stamps and dies, with many of the layers and pieces adhered using dry adhesive from TapeRunner.com.
☕ Surviving One Monday at a Time
“Powered by Coffee & Deadlines” pretty much sums up Monday! Soft rainbow sentiment blocks, a clipboard-carrying character, and a crisp black frame bring this card together.
The main panel is actually a one layer card and gives the illusion of depth and dimension with simple shadows. I incorporated a pop of color by adding a simple rectangle mat with decorative stitched edge. I still enjoy having layers for a nice substantial weight on my card fronts, as well as the polished look of matting your one-layered panels by using a stitched nested rectangle die to give a small black border/frame and little added interest. 
- Details: Stitched layers, funny sentiments, and gray shading for dimension.
- STAMP SET: Professionally Unhinged Stamps & Coordinating Products
- DIE SET: stitched-rectangle-nested-dies
- Copics: Skin E000/E00/E11; cheeks R20; hair E25/E27/E29; shirt B000/B00/B01; pants Y21/Y26/YR24; clipboard E23/E25/E27.
- Sentiment blocks: Y11/Y13, B000/B00, YR00/YR02, G20/G21, RV10/RV13, V01/V04.
🌼 Packed with Peace & Personality
Turquoise, yellow, purple flowers, and sparkly peace signs give this smiling Vintage Van Back Pack Add-On plenty of flower-power personality!
The Vintage Van Backpack Add-On Die Set pairs with the Backpack Base Die Set, sold separately. The additional flowers were from the sweet rabbit backpack add-on set already in my stash.
The add-on pieces also work on other shapes! I’ve successfully used these sets with standard A2 bases, coffee cups, trash bins, and other standalone dies from Scrappy Boy’s collection.
- Details: Flowers are from another back pack add-on called sweet-rabbit-backpack-add-on-die-set, silver peace signs, a decorative zipper pull, and white gel-pen highlights.
- Copics: Turquoise BG01/BG05/BG09; yellow Y13/Y15/Y17; cream E50/E51/E53; purple V04/V06/V09; pink RV52/RV55/RV66; lights Y17/YR15/YR18; eyes E23/E25/E29.
🦇 Ear-resistibly Spooky
A familiar round-eared friend gets a fang-tastic makeover! Bat wings, torn HEX APPEAL PATTERNED PAPER layers, and cheeky sentiments make this Halloween card more sweet than scary.
- Details: Black, purple, and orange layers; spiderweb paper; white highlights; and “Nice Fangs!,” “EEK!,” and “Bite Me!” sentiments.
- I love how Scrappy Boy’s pattern paper has a substantial weight and luxurious feel and gloss coating. When torn towards you, there’s a white core, which is very beneficial when wanting to create added movement and texture on your cards without added bulk.
- Copics: Face E000/E00/E11; cheeks R20/R22; mouth R14/R24/R29; shaded black details C5/C7/C9. Leave the fangs white! Add white gel pen accents.
