Monday Mood: Coffee, Peace & Fangs!

Coffee-fueled humor, groovy peace, and fang-tastic fun! Explore three handmade projects featuring Scrappy Boy stamps and dies, with colorful details and creative ways to mix your crafting stash.

October 5, 2026

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. 

🌼 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.

💛 Keeping It Together with TapeRunner

Many of my paper layers and die-cut pieces are adhered with TapeRunner.com dry adhesive. The adhesive comes on spools in handheld runners offered in different colors and shapes. They ultimately all serve essentially the same purpose—choose the style that feels comfortable in your hand and the color that makes you happy!

From Running Late to Clocking In: Four Projects from Scrappy Boy’s Latest Release

From running late to clocking in, these four Scrappy Boy projects are ready for a little adventure! I’m sharing the details, products used, and Copic color combos behind each one.

A rabbit with a clock, a watch in New York, and a few unforgettable coworkers—Scrappy Boy’s latest release gave me so many stories to tell! I made four separate projects, each with its own personality. I hope they inspire you to mix new products with the Scrappy Boy favorites already in your craft room.

A Little Late? 🐰

That built-in clock makes this bunny backpack feel ready for an adventure down the rabbit hole! I had fun coloring the bunny and adding little white accents to the blue backpack. I love putting together the different elements, like a puzzle, with my handy-dandy dry adhesive tape runner from Tape Runner. Use code KELLY10 only at Tape Runner for 10% OFF your cart.

I added Stickles to a variety of elements for added interest and sparkle.

Scrappy Boy Stamps’ Products used:

Copic color combinations:

New York Minute ⌚🏙️

The new watch shaker die was a natural companion to Scrappy Boy’s NY Skyline Die Set, as we recognize the 25th Anniversary of 9/11 this year.

For this card, I paired Scrappy Boy’s new Shaker Watch Die with the New York skyline, their 1920’s Elegance bold patterned paper, stitched nested circle dies and a few bright accents.

I used a Spinner from my stash to make the arms on the watch-face rotate.

Products used:

Clocking In 🖥️

The workplace background stamp sets the scene for an office full of familiar little details. I kept the red, black, and white palette running through the whole card, from the chairs to the banner. I used elements from the coordinating paper pack to add visual interest and tie the stamp-set together.

Products used:

Copic color combinations:

  • Chairs and red details: R35, R37, R39
  • Desks and office details: BV20, BV23, N0, N2, N5
  • Stamp and Cut from Professionally Unhinged Patterned Paper

Coworkers Galore 🎂

And what would an office release be without the coworkers? I brought a few of them together for a birthday card with plenty of personality—and a very relatable request for cake!

Products used:

Copic color combinations:

That’s what I love about a Scrappy Boy release: one product can spark an idea for another. The bunny’s clock led me to the watch, and the workplace scene led me straight to the coworkers. Which of these four projects is your favorite?

Spooky Cute with the Scrappy Boy Stamps August Release! 🦇🎃

Get spooky cute with the Scrappy Boy Stamps August Release! I’m mixing stamps, dies, paper and a little unexpected inspiration to create Halloween projects filled with dimension, personality and fun—including a special treat box made for my grandson and one of our favorite Halloween traditions. 🎃🦇✨

If you know me, you know I LOVE finding unexpected ways to use my crafty supplies! Sometimes a stamp or die may have been designed with one idea in mind, but I immediately start thinking, “What else can I turn this into?” And living in Central Florida, it probably comes as no surprise that a little theme park inspiration frequently sneaks into my craft room!

For these projects, I pulled out some of the spooky-cute goodies from the Scrappy Boy Stamps August Release and gave them my own magical Halloween twist.

“Have a Wicked Good Time” Gothic Picture Frame card

The Gothic Picture Frame Die was perfect for framing one of the adorable images from Hex Appeal. I kept the traditional Halloween palette of purple, black, orange and white, adding little pops of sparkle to the spiderweb details. I love how the oversized frame makes the stamped image feel like a spooky portrait hanging inside a haunted mansion.

Mouse Bat card — “You’re the Treat I Was Hoping For

Then came those Mouse Bat Embellishment Dies! These were just begging for some theme park-inspired fun. I played with layers, patterned papers, torn edges and white gel-pen accents to create two completely different Halloween cards.

Mouse Bat card — “Nice Fangs! Eek! Bite Me!”

The dimensional bat ears make such a fun focal point, especially when paired with those classic Halloween colors. I especially love how differently the same basic die can look simply by changing the background, composition and embellishments.

And I couldn’t stop there!

Full Pumpkin Mouse project showing both the card and dimensional folio/box

The Pumpkin Mouse Backpack Add-On became the star of one of my favorite projects. Instead of treating it simply as a backpack element, I transformed that big pumpkin into a dimensional Halloween centerpiece and paired it with plaid and spiderweb papers. A little tissue paper and some fun halloween treats and gift cards and you have a decorative, heartfelt gift and memory holder once emptied.

Close-up of Pumpkim

Lots of ink blending, deep shadows, white gel-pen highlights, lovingly put together with my hand-held adhesive from Tape Runner and a little shimmer helped bring all of those layers to life. The close-up really shows how much dimension and texture can be added to simple paper die cuts.

This treat box is especially close to my heart because I created it for our grandson, Nolan, as we prepare for our second annual visit to the Mouse’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at the theme park, a tradition that combines celebrating his birthday with officially kicking off the Halloween season here in Central Florida!

I personalized the back with his name and even pulled in the castle die from a previous Scrappy Boy Stamps release, which was the perfect way to add another little touch of magic. I love mixing pieces from different releases and finding completely new ways to use them, but even more, I love knowing that this project will become part of another special memory with our grandson. 🎃🏰🧡

Finally, I had to play with the Haunted House Folio. I went for an eerie-but-cute abandoned mansion look with weathered grays, soft lavender, glowing golden windows, bats, spiderwebs, a pumpkin and even a creepy little hand reaching up from below. It was easy to position and adhere the smaller pieces with my hand-held Tape Runner. This project has so many tiny details to discover!

That’s probably my favorite part about crafting: the dies give you the pieces, but your imagination gets to decide what they become.

I hope these projects inspire you to pull out your supplies and look at them a little differently. Mix collections. Change the intended theme. Add unexpected colors. Turn an embellishment into the focal point. Most importantly, have fun creating something that’s completely you.

Happy crafting — and stay spooky! 🦇🎃✨

👻 Haunted House Folio Die | Scrappy Boy Stamps

See how the Scrappy Boy Stamps Haunted House Folio Die comes together layer by layer! I first build the entire haunted house in white cardstock and photograph each stage as a reference. Then I can take it apart, add all the spooky color and details, and assemble everything using my favorite TapeRunner.com handheld adhesive tape runners. Use code KELLY10 to save 10%.

There’s something spooky happening at Stamped by Kelly! 🦇🏚️

Today I’m featuring the Haunted House Folio Die from the August Release from Scrappy Boy Stamps, and this one was SO much fun to create!

I love a die set that gives you plenty of room to make it your own, and this haunted house definitely delivers. I created two completely different looks to show just how versatile it can be.

For my first version, I went with a classic Halloween palette of deep purple, black, gray and bright spooky green. I added texture to the house panels and layered all of those fabulous little details—the bats, spiderweb, ghost, creepy hand, fence, pumpkin and more. The bright green windows give it that perfect eerie glow!

For my second version, I decided to get a little messier! I used a combination of inks, splatters and coordinating patterned papers from the Hex Appeal bundle to create a distressed, grungy haunted-house feel. I love how the oranges, purples and blacks work together while the bright yellow-green windows really pop against the darker colors.

One die set—two totally different haunted houses! That is exactly what I love about dies like this. You can keep it clean and coordinated or pull out the inks, patterned papers and splatters and make it wonderfully creepy.

The Haunted House Folio Die is part of Scrappy Boy Stamps’ August release and is packed with details that make it perfect for Halloween cards, folios, albums, home décor and more.

Started with 4 main layers.

Building the Haunted House Folio — Layer by Layer

Each layer builds upon the next to create this fun Haunted House Flipbook/Folio. Before adding color or patterned paper, I like to:

  • 🤍 Die-cut and assemble each layer in white cardstock to create a visual reference.
  • 📸 Photograph each stage so I can easily remember how all those little pieces fit together.
  • 🎨 Take everything back apart and decorate each panel individually with coloring, patterned papers, and embellishments.
  • 🏠 Reassemble and permanently adhere each layer using my favorite handheld adhesive tape runners from TapeRunner.com.

This little extra planning step makes decorating a detailed project so much easier—and I have my photos to reference when it’s time to put the whole haunted house back together!

Going Batty with the New Scrappy Boy Stamps Halloween Release!

Create two colorful Halloween cards featuring the newest Scrappy Boy Stamps release—the Hex Appeal I Want It All Bundle, Spooky Bat Mouse Embellishment Die, Mouse Ears Alphabet & Numbers Dies and Gothic Picture Frame.

Halloween crafting is in full swing, and today I’m sharing two frightfully fun projects featuring the newest release from Scrappy Boy Stamps! From a charming vampire to the cutest little bat mice, these cards are filled with bright colors, playful details, and just the right amount of spooky sparkle.

Two Halloween cards featuring the newest release from Scrappy Boy Stamps

Hex Appeal August Sketch Challenge Card

My first project is squeaking in just in time for the final day of the Scrappy Boy Stamps August Sketch Challenge!

Scrappy Boy Stamps August 2026 Sketch Inspiration.

I used the Hex Appeal I Want It All Bundle to create this handsome little vampire card. The August sketch inspired the bold layout, including the vertical and horizontal cardstock strips and the large oval focal point.

The orange spiderweb paper and black skeleton pattern create a classic Halloween color combination, while the softly colored purple background helps the vampire stand out. The heat-embossed “Nice Fangs!” and “Bite Me!” sentiments add a playful finishing touch.

Hex Appeal Coordinating Paper Pack

A few sparkly embellishments, dimensional layers, and stitched details complete this fang-tastic design!

Spooky Bat Mouse Halloween Card

For my second project, I paired the adorable Spooky Bat Mouse Embellishment Die with the dramatic Gothic Picture Frame.

Spooky Bat Mouse Embellishment Dies paired with the Gothic Picture Frame

These little bat mice are almost too cute to spook! I used bright green, purple, and black for a playful Halloween color palette and added white highlights to bring out the details in their wings and faces.

The Gothic Picture Frame creates the perfect backdrop, while the spiderweb accents, sparkly swirls, and bold BOO sentiment add extra texture and personality. The Mouse Ears alphabet dies are a cute addition and nod to the mouse! I love how the bright green border makes the entire card pop!

Glitter, white highlights, and whimsical die-cut details make these bat mice ready for Halloween.

Both projects show how easily the newest Scrappy Boy Stamps products can be mixed and matched to create Halloween cards ranging from delightfully spooky to cute and whimsical.

Suggested Copic combinations: Skin: E000, E00, E11, E13; hair and clothing: C3, C5, C7, C9; cape and wine: R29, R39, R59; and purple airbrushed background: V04, V06, V09. I used the Copic Airbrush System to create the soft purple glow behind the vampire.

I used my favorite dry adhesive from TapeRunner.com⁠ to assemble all the layers of this card. Shop their selection of crafty adhesives and use promo code KELLY10 to save 10% on your entire cart! This costs you nothing extra and helps support my creative journey.

A Little Hex Appeal + A Whole Lot of Franken-Fine!

Get spooky-cute with the NEWEST Hex Appeal release from Scrappy Boy Stamps! See how I used the August Card Sketch Inspiration to create this Franken-Fine Halloween card, complete with patterned papers, stitched dies, heat embossing, and my Copic color combinations. 💚💜🎃

I’m popping in with a little spooky-cute inspiration featuring the NEWEST release from Scrappy Boy Stamps — HEX APPEAL! 🎃💜💚

Featuring Hex Appeal & Coordinating Products

For this card, I also took inspiration from the Scrappy Boy Stamps August Card Sketch. There’s still a little time to play along, so grab your favorite Scrappy Boy goodies and put your own spin on the sketch!

One of my favorite things about sketches is that they take away that “where do I start?” moment. You already have the bones of the design—you just get to make it yours!

My Take on the Sketch

I stayed fairly close to the original layout, using two contrasting patterned papers for the background and bold black cardstock to recreate the strong horizontal and vertical elements.

Of course, the star had to be this adorable little Frankenstein! 💚

I placed him inside an Oval Stitched Nesting Die and gave the background a soft purple blend using my airbrush attachment from Copic to help him pop without competing with the image. A few white splatters and sparkly accents finished off the background.

And how could I resist…

“You’re Franken-Fine!” 😂

Copic Coloring

I colored my little guy with Copic markers, using bright yellow-greens for that classic Frankenstein look and deep violets and cool grays to coordinate with the Hex Appeal patterned paper.

Copic Color Combinations:

💚 Skin: YG01 • YG03 • YG05 • YG07
💜 Purple: V12 • V15 • V17
🖤 Black/Gray: C3 • C5 • C7 • C9
🤍 Skull: C0 • C1 • C3

Feel free to substitute your favorite combinations—the fun is making these characters completely your own!

Scrappy Boy Supplies

🎃 HEX APPEAL STAMPS & OUTLINE DIES
👻 HEX APPEAL 6×9 PAPER PACK
✂️ OVAL STITCHED NESTING DIES
✂️ RECTANGLE STITCHED NESTING DIES

The Hex Appeal 6×9 Paper Pack made this sketch especially fun. Mixing the green bats with the purple argyle gave me plenty of pattern and color while still allowing my stamped image to remain the focal point.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed “You’re Franken-Fine!” in white on black cardstock. The crisp white embossing against the bold black gives the sentiment plenty of contrast and ties in perfectly with the black elements from the sketch. 🖤

My Go-To Dry Adhesive ✂️

With all these fun layers, I reach for my TapeRunner dry adhesive! It makes lining up and layering cardstock quick and easy, while helping keep my panels smooth and warp-free—especially when working with multiple layers.

Come Play Along!

Remember, a card sketch is meant to inspire you—not limit you. Change the shapes, flip the design, rotate it, add another layer or simplify it. There’s no wrong way to interpret it!

Beyond Christmas: Copic Airbrushing + One Stamp, So Many Celebrations!

Stretch your Christmas stamps beyond the holidays! See how simple color changes turn one festive stamp set into handmade cards for any celebration.

I have a new technique obsession to share today!

Example of what I used to create airbrushed backgrounds

I’ve been experimenting with my Copic markers and an air compressor attachment, and I LOVE the soft, blended backgrounds I can create. Even better? This technique is easy to customize simply by changing your colors.

That got me thinking about the adorable new MERRY MEOWMAS stamp set from the Pajama Crafter Stamps August Release.

Yes, it’s designed for Christmas—but who says it has to stay there?

🐱 Same Stamp. Different Celebration.

For one card, I embraced Christmas with festive reds and greens.

❤️ 💚 🤍 CHRISTMAS

Then I took the same MERRY MEOWMAS image, changed my Copic colors and added a few elements from my stash to create a Hanukkah-inspired card.

💙 🤍 💛 HANUKKAH

The air compressor attachment made it easy to coordinate each background with my Copic coloring. I simply sprayed light layers of color and gradually built the intensity until I was happy with the result.

No complicated blending—just spray, layer and have fun!

💙 Why This Project Is Personal

We are a blended family. My husband’s children from his first marriage were raised Jewish by their mom while also celebrating Christmas with us. Today, they have families of their own who continue to recognize both traditions.

That makes creating for different celebrations especially meaningful to me.

It also reminds me that our stamps don’t have to be limited by the holiday printed on the package!

❤️ 🖤 💚 KWANZAA

❤️ 🩷 🤍 VALENTINE’S DAY

🧡 🤎 💛 THANKSGIVING

🖤 🤍 💛 NEW YEAR’S

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 BIRTHDAYS

Change the colors. Add something from your stash. Change the sentiment.

Make it YOUR celebration!

🎨 Try It Yourself!

Grab a stamp that was designed for one specific holiday and ask yourself:

“What ELSE could this become?”

For me, MERRY MEOWMAS went from Christmas kitties to a completely different celebration with little more than Copic color choices, some airbrushing and a few creative additions.

That’s exactly the kind of crafting I love—using what we have in unexpected ways!

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

🚀 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!

I am hoping if I get enough subscribers and interest, I hope to be encouraged to start my YouTube channel journey.
