Hello, crafty friends! ❤️🎄
Today I’m sharing THREE fun projects featuring the October 2026 release from Scrappy Boy Stamps! From a candy-loving elf to a nostalgic Radio City Music Hall Christmas postcard and an adorable tiger backpack, there’s plenty of holiday inspiration!
🎄 Project 1: Son of a Nutcracker
Candy is basically a food group, right? 🍬 This festive Christmas elf card features a fun shaker buckle filled with tiny peppermint candies! Did you catch that the buckle is actually from the Watch Shaker Die, from Scrappy Boy Stamps‘ previous release? Check out my photo below of how I have used the Watch Shaker Die in my projects.
On the Christmas elf card, I love the rich green cardstock, shiny gold accents, and playful details! The buttons and collar are cut from the following Scrappy Boy Die-sets, but you can use real buttons or simply draw a circle and cut it out with your scissors.
Collar: Sweet Rabbit Backpack Add-on
Buttons: Shirt Shaped Card Die
Copic Coloring Combinations:
- Skin – E000, E00, E21, E11

Here are some other ways I have used the Watch Shaker Die from Scrappy Boy.
🏙️ Project 2: Vintage Radio City Music Hall Christmas Postcard
Christmas in New York City has a magic all its own! 🎄✨
This vintage-inspired postcard captures the iconic Radio City Music Hall dressed for the holidays, complete with its towering Christmas tree, festive garlands, glowing windows, and snowy details!
I love the nostalgic feel of the warm kraft tones paired with traditional Christmas reds and greens. The scalloped edges and snowy accents give this project that perfect old-fashioned holiday postcard look!

🐯 Project 3: Springy Stripes Backpack
How ADORABLE is this little guy?! 🧡🐯
This dimensional tiger backpack was created using coordinating colored cardstock and the Springy Stripes Backpack Add-On Dies!
I used black glitter cardstock for those fabulous stripes and my Copic Airbrush System to softly shade the lighter cardstock pieces before assembling everything. I love how the shading adds dimension while keeping that beautiful layered paper-pieced look!
