From One Pair of Glasses to Two Music Icons 🎶👓

One pair of glasses, two iconic music-inspired cards! 🎶👓 See how I stretched the Scrappy Boy Stamps Silly Creature Backpack Add-On Dies to create playful nods to John Lennon and Ozzy Osbourne while mixing and matching some of my favorite dies.

Sometimes my favorite cards start when I stop looking at a die for what it is supposed to be and start wondering, “What else could this become?”

That is exactly what happened with the Silly Creature Backpack Add-On Die Set from Scrappy Boy Stamps. Those oversized glasses immediately got my attention—and before long, I was using them to create two completely different cards inspired by iconic musicians.

🎶 IMAGINE…

For my first card, those big round glasses immediately made me think of John Lennon.

I combined dies from several of my favorite Scrappy Boy Stamps sets to build the scene, including the Stitched Scene Building Dies. The oversized black glasses became the focal point, while the colorful background, clouds, sunshine and musical notes helped bring my little tribute to Imagine together.

Of course, I had to add plenty of white gel pen details. Those tiny highlights and stitched accents really make black die cuts pop!

🦇 From Lennon to the Prince of Darkness

Then I started looking at those same glasses again…and went in a completely different direction!

This time they became the foundation for my playful Ozzy Osbourne-inspired “Prince of Dorkness” card. 😂🦇

I combined the glasses with additional Scrappy Boy dies, added those unmistakable blue lenses, bats, wings and lots of white gel pen detailing. The result is definitely silly, a little spooky, and exactly the kind of unexpected card I love making.

👓 One Die—Completely Different Looks

This is one of my favorite things about die cutting: you don’t have to use a die exactly as it was intended.

The glasses may have started as an accessory in the Silly Creature Backpack Add-On Die Set, but with a little imagination they became:

🎵 John Lennon’s signature round glasses
🦇 Ozzy-inspired violet / blue shades
✂️ A starting point for combining pieces from completely different Scrappy Boy sets

Scrappy Boy Alphabet Dies

Marquee Sign (smaller alphabet)

Wings & Sun Dieset

And now I’m wondering…which music icon should I try next? Can you see my next music inspired card??? 🤔🎸

You can find the Silly Creature Backpack Add-On and lots of other dies perfect for mixing, matching and stretching your stash at Scrappy Boy Stamps⁠.

Thanks for stopping by StampedbyKelly! I hope this inspires you to pull out some of your own dies and look at those little pieces in a completely different way.

Happy crafting! ❤️ Kelly

🦖 Dinosaur Week Goes Extinct—with a Little Halloween Magic!

Celebrate Dinosaur Week with a fun Halloween shaker card featuring the Close to Extinction Stamp Set, creative Flash Card Surgery, and spooky interactive details from Pajama Crafter Stamps.

I’m closing out Dinosaur Week with one last dino-mite project—and this little guy from the Close To Extinction Stamp Set decided he was ready for Halloween! 🎃🦖

For this card, I did what I’m calling a little Flash Card Surgery! ✂️ I cut into two Halloween Flash Cards, using the skeleton/spiderweb design to create my circle shaker and borrowing the witch hat and “Make Your Own Magic” sentiment from another card.

I love finding ways to stretch products beyond their original design. A little cutting, mixing and matching turned these Flash Cards into something completely different—and gave my dinosaur the perfect spooky-season makeover!

🛍️ What I Used

  • Close To Extinction Stamp Set
  • Halloween Flash Cards
  • Dino Celebration 6×6 Paper Pack
  • Marshmallow Cardstock
  • SpinCycle Micro Rotators

🦖 Has This Dino Already Gone Extinct?

The Close To Extinction set has been so popular that you may find it temporarily out of stock. If so, hit the Notify Me button! He’s expected to make a comeback, and you’ll know when it’s time to swoop in and fill that cart before he disappears again.

🚀 Create an Interactive Card That’s Out of This World!

Create an interactive space-themed rocking card with easy Copic coloring and a 360° spinning sentiment using the new SpinCycle Micro Rotators. Put together with a combination of my favorite wet and dry adhesives. Perfect for making someone smile!

One of my favorite things about cardmaking is combining Copic coloring with interactive elements. There’s just something magical about handing someone a card that actually moves. It immediately brings a smile to their face!

For today’s project, I reached for the adorable Such an Asteroid stamp set and created a rocking card that features not one—but two interactive elements!

The entire card gently rocks back and forth, while the sentiment spins a full 360 degrees.


Color First…Then Build Your Scene

Before I even think about assembling my card, I always start with the coloring.

These sweet astronauts from Such An Asteroid stamp set were an absolute joy to color with Copics. I kept the spacesuits bright and clean using cool grays and added pops of vibrant reds and blues to coordinate with the rocket. For the night sky, I blended rich blues into a soft glow behind the astronauts before splattering white paint to create the stars.

One of my favorite things about space-themed cards is that there’s no right or wrong. You can create colorful galaxies, glowing planets, or simply let your imagination take over.


Interactive Cards Don’t Have to Be Complicated

If you’ve never made a rocking card before, don’t let it intimidate you.

In fact, you probably already have everything you need!

Look through your craft room for:

  • Circle dies
  • A circle cutter
  • Bowls or plates to trace
  • Or simply fold your cardstock in half and cut a half-circle, just like we all learned in kindergarten.

Sometimes the simplest supplies create the most memorable cards.


Add Even More Movement

Want to take your interactive cards to the next level?

The new SpinCycle Micro Rotators from Pajama Crafter Stamps make it incredibly easy to add spinning elements to your projects.

I used one behind my sentiment so it spins a full 360°, but that’s only the beginning!

Imagine adding them to:

  • planets
  • stars
  • balloons
  • flowers
  • steering wheels
  • snowflakes
  • pinwheels
  • ornaments
  • little critters
  • anything you want to twirl!

You can even add multiple SpinCycle Micro Rotators to a single card to create several independently spinning elements. The possibilities are almost endless, and they add such a fun surprise for the recipient.


Copic Color Combinations

I always enjoy sharing the colors I use in case you’d like to recreate the look or adapt it to your own project.


Products Used


Final Thoughts

Interactive cards may look impressive, but they’re surprisingly easy to create—and they’re always the cards people remember.

Whether you use supplies already in your craft room or decide to try the new SpinCycle Micro Rotators, I hope this project inspires you to add a little movement to your next handmade card.

After all, handmade cards should be just as fun to play with as they are to create!

🌙 One Small Step for Creativity | Celebrating National Moon Day

In celebration of Apollo 11 and National Moon Day, this card captures the wonder of humanity’s first steps on the Moon. Featuring the Moon Landing Stamp & Coordinating Outline Dies paired with the bold American Flag Die Set from Scrappy Boy Stamps, this design pays tribute to the courage, innovation, and patriotism of one of history’s greatest achievements. With Copic coloring, held together by TapeRunner.com tape runners and a touch of sparkle, it’s a heartfelt reminder to always reach for the stars.

Apollo 11 Inspired Card featuring. Scrappy Boy Stamps

Today we’re celebrating National Moon Day, which commemorates the historic Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969. What better way to honor that incredible achievement than with a handmade card inspired by one of history’s greatest adventures?

For this patriotic design, I paired the adorable Moon Landing Stamp & Outline Dies with the absolutely stunning American Flag Die Set from Scrappy Boy Stamps. The bold flag creates the perfect backdrop for our little astronaut, while the Apollo 11 emblem adds a fun nod to the mission that inspired generations to dream big.

Easy & No Mess Dry Adhesive TAPERUNNER

To give the flag rich, vibrant color, I airbrushed the die cuts with my Copic Airbrush System using:

  • R46 for the red stripes
  • B29 for the blue field
  • C2 lightly airbrushed over the white stripes to create soft dimension without losing the crisp patriotic look

The astronaut was colored with Copics using:

  • E13
  • E00
  • E000
  • R20

Spacesuit

  • C4
  • C7
  • Copic Opaque White for highlights

To finish everything off, I added a touch of Stickles from my stash to the Apollo 11 patch for just the right amount of sparkle—because even space deserves a little shimmer!

I love how this card combines patriotism, history, and a sweet whimsical character into one clean design. Sometimes all it takes is one small stamp set to inspire a giant leap in creativity!

💊 Interactive Spinner Card

This playful spinner card adds movement and surprise with a fun interactive mechanism. Watching the focal image spin brings the design to life and makes it a great card for birthdays, celebrations, or just because.

Scene Building with the NEWEST Release from Pajama Crafter Stamps

Bright colors, playful scene building, and layered creativity come together in these first projects featuring the NEWEST release from Pajama Crafter Stamps! Today I’m sharing cards created with The Bog Frog and Don’t Be Koi stamp sets using masking techniques, shaker elements, Zero Colorless Blender Marker texture, white gel pen accents, and vibrant Copic coloring to bring these whimsical scenes to life.

Today I’m sharing my first two projects featuring the newest release from Pajama Crafter Stamps using The Bog Frog and Don’t Be Koi stamp sets!

For my first Bog Frog card, I created a bright summer scene with layered elements, ink blending, and masking techniques to build depth. I used a Zero Colorless Blender Marker to add soft texture to the frog along with white gel pen accents for extra highlights.

I also created a second Bog Frog design with bold color, sparkle, and a cleaner layout. The umbrella panels and dragonfly wings were finished with Stickles Crystal Glitter Glue for extra shine.

For my Don’t Be Koi project, I paired vibrant Copic coloring with shaker elements and prismatic rainbow cardstock behind the stitched circle windows for a fun underwater effect.

Sometimes scene building comes from dimensional layers, but it can also be created directly through masking techniques. I love using masking to overlap images and create more natural scenes while still keeping cards mail-friendly.

If you would like to see a future video tutorial on masking and scene building, let me know in the comments! I’ve been considering starting a YouTube channel and would love the encouragement from this crafty community. 💕

We have been celebrating PET WEEK all week, with cards featuring stamped images of our furry, feathered and scaled friends.

I’m so excited to share today’s project featuring an absolutely adorable new set from Pajama Crafter Stamps — Furever Loved from the March 2026 release!

This set is truly a must-have for your craft stash… because honestly, who can resist a cute dog?! 🐶 Whether you’re creating for a friend, a fellow dog lover, or even a heartfelt “just because” card, this set has so much versatility built right in.

💖 Pairing Products for a Versatile Look

For this project, I paired the stamp set with the In My Heart of Hearts Stencil, also from Pajama Crafter Stamps. This stencil is perfect for creating customized, romantic and fun backgrounds—ideal for everything from friendship cards to more elegant, celebratory designs.

And today, I’m sharing two looks using this stencil… one traditional and one with a fun twist!

🎨 Technique Spotlight: Get More From Your Stencil (No Waste!)

If you’ve ever finished stenciling and noticed all that leftover ink sitting on your stencil… don’t clean it just yet! 👀

Instead, try this:

👉 Lightly mist your stencil (depending on your ink type)

👉 Flip it over onto a clean piece of cardstock

👉 Press to transfer the remaining ink

This creates a completely different “negative” impression background—and it’s such a fun way to stretch your supplies!

I used a cardstock that could handle a slightly wetter medium to avoid warping, and the result was a beautifully soft, organic background that looked totally different from the original design.

🐶 Bringing It All Together

For my second card, I paired that transferred background with the black-and-white dog image from Furever Loved, adding just a pop of color to the bow to match the inked background.

The result? A playful, coordinated design that feels cohesive without being overly busy.

💍 The Original Design

I’m also sharing my original card, where I used the stencil as intended. This created a more polished, elegant background—perfect for a wedding or formal celebration card.

Same stencil… two completely different looks!

💬 Which One Is Your Favorite?

Do you love the soft, elegant original or the playful, no-waste background version? I’d love to hear which one you’d choose!

🛍️ Special Feature + Weekend Savings!

I’m so honored to be featured at Pajama Crafter Stamps right now, and to celebrate, there’s a special deal just for you:

Happy crafting this weekend! 💛

And as always, don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions—I’m always happy to help!

In today’s feature, I’m sharing three distinct card designs created using Scrappy Boy Stamps’ newest release. Each project highlights a different product and aesthetic:

Exploring the newest Scrappy Boy Stamps release has been such a creative journey! For this set of projects, I challenged myself to take three very different elements—the Spooky Farmhouse background, the Wings & Sun dies, and the Little Pig Backpack add-on—and design cards that each tell their own story. From moody and textured to bright and uplifting to sweet and playful, these cards may look completely different at first glance—but there’s a common thread in how they were built. Take a closer look and see if you can spot what ties them all together! It’s my adhesive from TAPERUNNER.COM! Use Kelly10 for 10%OFF only at TapeRunner.com website.

The Spooky Farmhouse 6×6 Background Stamp brings in layered texture and seasonal depth. I cut it down to fit a standard A2 sized card front.

The Wings & Sun Dieset offers a softer, uplifting focal point with dimension. I ran the diecut wings through an embossing machine using a folder from my stash. I think it adds fun dimension, but not necessary. I then applied foam tape in thin strips to create waves and movement. The sentiment is from Bump In The Night and great to send an uplifting message, “Angels Are Always Watching.”

The Little Pig Back-Pack Add On adds a whimsical, character-driven element. Featuring the dry adhesive from TapeRunner and use PROMO CODE KELLY10 for 10%OFF your TapeRunner Cart.

Love putting my layers together with TapeRunner dry adhesive. Less Mess! Convenience ❤️

I wanted the pig to be dressed like a bee, so I used yellow snd black card for the body and ran the mouth diecut through a second time and cut the flower zipper pull a teo times in black to create a bee antennae. The bee is from the Honey Bear Back Pack Add-On Set.. Patterned papers are from the Honey Bear 6×9 paper pack. All of the Little Pig’s body cut from the pink striped patterned papers, with some elements colored with alcohol markers, white gel pen and crystal glaze for added shine.

Coincidentally, I found delight in the “I’ve Got Your Back” sentiment from Bump In The Night, which is a perfect for those who love a GOOD PUN! Perfect for ANY backpack project, LOL!

While each project stands on its own stylistically, they were intentionally designed with a unifying creative approach. Support small businesses and find these products and so much more at Scrappy Boy Stamps
