Unleash Creativity with Scrappy Boy Stamps: April 2025 Release 🌟

Hello, crafty friends! 🎨✨

Spring has sprung, and so has an exciting new release from Scrappy Boy Stamps! With fresh products hitting the shelves , it’s the perfect time to dive into some creative card-making. This release includes four fabulous lines: We’re Not Alone, Aliens Landed in Roswell, Cute Kids Playground, and a wonderful variety of card making and scrapbooking dies. Let’s check out some creative ideas for three card designs you can create with these new goodies!

1. I Want To Believe Slimline Card 🚀

I did a mash up of Aliens Landed in Roswell with We’re Not Alone to create a whimsical card showcasing one of the cutest aliens! Start with a dusky/starry night background using vibrant colors, then use the coordinating stamps and dies to bring your alien friend and beloved characters to life. For my card, I added an action wobbler to add movement and interest. Don’t forget to complete your card with a fun sentiment like “I WANT TO BELIEVE” to tie everything together!

2. Playground Fun Card 🎡

Using the Cute Kids Playground set, I crafted an adorable scene that captures childhood joy. To make your own, use the playground-themed stamps to create a colorful layout of kids playing on swings and slides. My card features a fun elephant slide. I layered several different coordinating patterned papers from the 6×6 paper pack in cheerful colors for that extra pop!

3. Rocking Horse Shaped Card🌌

Using the new Rocking Horse Mini Album Die, I created a shaped card. Use for scrapbook elements OR as it’s intended use, a mini photo album die. I cut all elements in white for ease and then use my Copic markers or Distress Inks to create additional colors. If you look closely, you might see that I ran some elements through my Big Shot die-cutting machine with a fun embossing folder. You can also use up your scraps! Have fun!

Get Crafting! 🖌️

These new releases are sure to inspire and ignite your crafty spirit. Whether you want to create cheeky alien cards or childhood adventures, Scrappy Boy Stamps has you covered. Make sure to grab your favorites before they fly off their shelves!

Happy crafting, and may your creativity soar! ✈️💖

I’m excited to share my latest handmade cards using images from Scrappy Boy Stamps.

Card 1: The Neighborhood Bar
This card features the “The Neighborhood Bar” set from Scrappy Boy’s latest release. I wanted to create a scene that looked like a clock, so I could fit as many characters on the front of an A2 card using my Sizzix Making Tool with Add On Stamp & Spin Tool.

My second card features a prior release called Little Mermaid. I created a background you can download and use for FREE.

Have A Beary Sweet Birthday featuring Stamp Anniething

Card features Build A Caring Bear
Limited Edition Set by Stamp Anniething

The art of gift-giving isn’t just about what’s inside the box. Adding a personal touch to your greeting card can make all the difference, especially when it’s for someone very special. That’s why I’m excited to share with you this really cute new set from Stamp Anniething that can be customized for any occasion and recipient.

Image is DISTORTED on purpose to prevent theft

I created a birthday card using the Build A Caring Bear set, as well as patterned paper from the SUMMER TROPICS pack as a background. So, let’s dive in and see how to make this versatile square card.

The first thing you’ll need is a 5 1/4 in square card base. This size will provide enough space to showcase your creativity while still being efficient enough to mail. Next, you’re going to create your characters using the Build A Caring Bear set. The great thing about this set is that you can mix and match the different elements like faces, arms and belly tag to create your unique bear. I decided to go with a Happy Cupcake Bear because I wanted to create a festive and colorful birthday card.

Once I BUILT my bear, I started creating a fun birthday scene. To do this, I downloaded a free digital image that coordinated with the image on my bear’s belly. It’s easy to do and it provides a great way to add a personal touch to your card. I went with a cupcake!

Free Digital Image – unknown source, so sorry

I wanted to create texture on the card, so I used patterned paper from the SUMMER TROPICS pack to make the background. The bright colors and versatile patterns are perfect for a celebration and it compliments the bear image well. I cut a total of four (4) two-and-a-quarter inch squares and a 2 1/2 inch square in white and a 2 3/4 inch square in black to frame and then place in center on the diagonal using double-sided foam tape. I had a small square scrap I added from the Pets Grab & Go Box (no longer available), that I added to the center of the square.

6×6 paper pack – 24 pages

Finally, I added a sentiment to the top right of the card, wishing the recipient a BEARY sweet birthday. It’s simple, but heartfelt, and it ties everything together nicely. Added some Enamel Dots from Stamp Anniething to repeat the pops of color in a triangular pattern, to draw your rye from the sentiment to the cherry on the cupcake and back to the sentiment again.

Build A Caring Bear Birthday Card

In conclusion, with little effort, anyone can make a sweet, personalized birthday card using the Build A Caring Bear set and Summer Tropics patterned paper. You can change the occasion, color scheme or even switch out the face, belly badge and arm positions to create a unique design tailored to whomever you’re giving it to. It’s a thoughtful gesture that shows you care, and the recipient will surely appreciate the time and effort put into it. Happy creating!
