Fun downloadable to pair with items in your SCRAPPY BOY stash…or any circle dies, cutters or cut your own out of construction paper. Great activity for kids, grandchildren and everyone in between!

Happy Monday, crafty friends! 🎉✨ Today, I’m excited to share a delightful project using the Scrappy Boy YARN MINI ALBUM / CARD DIE. With just a few simple steps, you can create an adorable snowman that’s perfect for the winter season! Plus, I’ll showcase two additional projects featuring Scrappy Boy stamp sets to highlight the versatility of this die. Let’s get started!

Snowman.pdf Download

Step 1: Print the Free Download

Head over to my blog at http://www.stampedbykelly.com (http://www.stampedbykelly.com) to grab your fun download, which includes a step-by-step guide and templates for your snowman project.

Tip: Make sure to print on cardstock for better durability!

Step 2: Cut Your Pieces

Using the YARN MINI ALBUM / CARD DIE, cut out the snowman pieces from white cardstock:

Base: This will be the mat underneath the head of your snowman.
I cut my top layer out of white glitter cardstock for extra interest.
Accessories: Cut out scarf and “coal” from colored cardstock or white (easy) and color up with Black Markers.

If you own the TRAILER MINI ALBUM / CARD DIE, you can also create wheels by cutting circles from black cardstock instead of the printed coal circles!

I cut in white card and colored up with my COPIC 100.

Step 3: Color Your Accessories

Bring your snowman to life by coloring the accessories. Use markers, colored pencils, or your favorite coloring medium to add personality to your snowman!

Step 4: Assemble Your Snowman. I used the TAPE RUNNER MINI to put my snowman together. You can get 10% OFF your purchase at http://taperunner.com using PROMO CODE: KELLY10

Now it’s time to put it all together!

Start with the base: Attach the snowman’s head (the smaller winky circle) die to the base (the larger circle).
Add accessories: Glue scarf and buttons (Scrappy Boy Shirt Mini Album Card Die), circles (tires and hubcaps from the TRAILER MINI ALBUM AND CARD DIE) or a circle punch from your stash. If you like to fussy-cut, the circles are on the printable page.
Final touches: Add white gel pen accents to eyes, carrot nose and mouth.

Additional Projects to Inspire You

Yarn Ball Card
Using the same die, I created a cheerful yarn ball card perfect for any crafting enthusiast. Just cut and decorate with bright, fun colors—it’s a great way to brighten someone’s day! Stamp set is the CUTE GIRLS CAT LOVERS: https://scrappyboy.com/products/cute-girls-cat-lovers-6×8-stamp-set
Volleyball Encouragement Card
I transformed the YARN MINI ALBUM / CARD DIE into a volleyball for a fun volleyball-themed card! Just ink blend over with a gray or extremely light handed-blending with black and use the embossed die-cut piece,. The ink reveals and accentuates the texture.

Crafting for your Health – Card Projects to Spark Your Creativity

Hello, fellow crafters! 🌼✨ Today, I want to share 3 card projects with you, all of which brought me so much joy and a sense of calm while creating. Crafting is such a wonderful way to relieve stress and express your creativity, and I hope my projects can encourage you to create your own.

Project 1: The New Yorkers Stamp Set 🌇

For my first project, I played with the New Yorkers stamp set along with the coordinating outline dies and some lovely pattern paper that adds character to my design.

My next project is a celebration of New York. Adding details with white gel pen and variety of Sharpies Acrylic Paint Brush Pens to give them depth and texture. It was a real joy to capture the essence of New York City, and I love how the colors came together.

My goal was to showcase the iconic skyline and capture the city’s spirit while reminding myself how versatile these products can be.

Project 2: Sneak Peek – Different Techniques with the Same Set 👀 Of you love The Mouse, consider following me @stampedbykelly on Social Media.

I’m excited to share a little sneak peek of my second project, which also features the New York Die Set. This time, I took a different approach with my techniques, and I was surprised at how refreshing felt to experiment while using the same set. It’s amazing how changing colors and methods can lead to such different outcomes! I look forward to sharing the full project in the coming week and I hope it encourages you to look at your supplies in a new light.

Project 3: Cute Kids Military Set 🎖️

Lastly, I want to introduce you to the adorable Cute Kids Military stamp set from Scrappy Boy. Honoring those who protect our freedoms, this sweet set showcases charming designs in the Cute Kids’ style representing different branches of the military. It truly warms my heart! ❤️

I enjoyed using the coordinating pattern papers that reflect patriotism and complement the playful illustrations. The sentiments in this set are heartfelt, and I hope they inspire others to create cards that celebrate our heroes in a meaningful way.

Conclusion 🎉

Crafting is not just about creating—it’s about the journey and the joy it brings to our lives. I hope my projects inspire you to use what you have, explore new techniques, and look at products differently than they were originally intended. Remember, it’s completely okay to be yourself in your craft, and there’s no right or wrong way to create. Happy crafting, friends! ✂️🌟

Unleashing Creativity: The Magic of Die Cuts with Scrappy Boy Stamps 🎉✂️

Hello, crafty friends! This week, I’m excited to share some unique card creations that showcase the power and versatility of die cuts, using fabulous products from Scrappy Boy Stamps. While I usually gravitate towards stamping and coloring with alcohol markers, stepping out of my comfort zone with die cuts opened up a whole new world of creativity. Let’s dive into the details of my three fun projects.

First up, we have a fun-fold marquee die cut card that instantly captures attention. Imagine saying anything you want using the Scrappy Boy Alphabet Dies framed within a dazzling marquee structure! The die cut serves as a stunning focal point, drawing the viewer in with its playful whimsy. To bring the card to life, I used bright colors and a custom sentiment as a nod to a fun scene from the film.

Next is a card that is a bit of a twist on traditional design—the previously released hoodie mini album card die cut transformed into a funky zipper jacket! 😍 To create this playful piece, I combined the hoodie die cut with the zipper from the backpack die set. The result? A fabulous jacket paired with the adorable amusement park pattern papers that give it a fun, themed flair. The details of the zipper add an element of surprise and creativity that’s bound to leave an impression. Plus, I couldn’t resist adding the cute mouse hand zipper pull for that extra touch of amusement park charm.

Last but not least, I crafted a delightful cart die cut card, brimming with holiday spirit! 🌟 This cart can be filled with anything your heart desires, but I chose to fill it with whimsical Christmas packages and a charming themed bear plush. I ised my alcohol markers to give the bear die additional personality. To achieve a festive look, I added a red ribbon on the bear’s neck, perfectly complementing the vibrant colors on the patterned paper. I even tucked in a Christmas tree die cut to enhance the holiday feel. The Christmas tree is taken from a previously released Cute Girls Stamp Set called Cute Girl Christmas Toys. These die cuts offer endless possibilities, allowing you to personalize cards for any occasion—birthdays, holidays, or just to spread some cheer!

Tips for Using Die Cuts Creatively:

Layering and Combinations: Don’t hesitate to mix and match different die cuts and Scrappy Boy sets to create something entirely new. My zipper jacket was a collaboration of different die sets that resulted in a unique design.
Play with Patterns: Use themed patterned papers like I did with the amusement park collection. They add depth and character to your card projects, making them stand out.
Think Outside the Box: Die cuts don’t have to be used as-is. Let your imagination run wild, and consider how you can modify or adapt them to fit your creative vision.

Final Thoughts

Die cuts are an incredible way to elevate your card-making game. With products from Scrappy Boy Stamps, the sky truly is the limit! Whether you’re crafting a fun movie scene or a festive holiday cart, using die cuts creatively can bring your stunning visions to life.

I can’t wait to see what you create using die cuts! Share your masterpieces and tag me—let’s inspire each other in this wonderful crafting journey! Happy crafting! 🎨💖✋

Exciting New Cards Featuring Scrappy Boy Stamps’ August Release!

Scrappy Boy Stamps’ August 2025 Release Inspration

Hello, crafty friends! 🎉

I’m thrilled to share my recent card creations using products from Scrappy Boy Stamps’ August release! Each project showcases a unique theme that I can’t wait for you to see!

🦇 Fun Fold Card Inspired by a Cult Classic

First up, I created a fun fold card inspired by a quirky underworld couple from a beloved movie. This card is perfect for Halloween lovers! With enchanting pattern papers and a main character that brings a smile, it’s a delightful addition to any Halloween celebration. 👻💀

Creating a Z-fold card in A2 size is simple and fun! Start with a piece of cardstock measuring 4.25” x 11” and score it at 2.75” and 5.5” along the long side. Fold the cardstock in half at the 5.5” score line, creating the first ‘Z’ fold. Then, take the smaller section and fold it back on itself at the 2.75” score line. This will give you a card that opens in a zigzag manner. Decorate each panel as desired, and you’ll have a beautiful Z-fold card perfect for any occasion! Happy crafting!

🔍 Crafty Twist on a Favorite Show

Next, I took inspiration from a show I adore, where amateur sleuths navigate mysteries in their fancy apartment building. This time, there’s a twist—my characters are all crafters! 🎨✂️ I’ve customized each character image with specific colors to make them instantly recognizable, and added crafty elements from the “Crafting Tools Die Set Add-On Craft Cart.”

Crafting inspiration can come from the smallest details! By layering cardstock and utilizing elements from your stash, like the crafty elements from the add-on set for the craft cart, you can beautifully tie your design together and add depth. I also love to create custom sentiments using my printer, which I cut out and pop up with dimensional foam tape for added interest. One of my favorite aspects of the Scrappy Boy line is how it mimics the images in the coordinating pattern paper, creating miniature versions that are perfect for fussy cutting. Incorporating these into my scenes brings an extra layer of creativity to my projects!

🎡 Whimsical SHAKER Mouse Wand

Lastly, I’m excited to introduce the new standalone Magnifying Glass Die that coordinates with the Cute Kids Detective Set! Instead of a standard magnifying glass, I paired it with fun theme park elements and colorful papers, creating a whimsical SHAKER mouse wand. 🎈🐭 I even made some shaker bits using coordinating cardstock and shaker cover plate dies to add that extra flair! The zipper pull mouse hand die creates a fun “dangle” on the SHAKER wand.

I’m excited to share how I transformed the magnifying glass into a theme park-inspired shaker wand! Many of the elements released are perfectly sized to layer with other items in your stash, so don’t hesitate to mix and match or get creative with die cuts—even using the negative space they leave behind. I love the fun new spin I was able to give the magnifying glass, especially with the addition of a dangle made from a zipper pull mouse hand die on the handle! Inside the shaker, I filled it with confetti and cut pieces from a cover plate die, creating shaker bits that perfectly match my project. How fun is it to elevate your creations this way?

Celebrating Memorial Day with Creativity: A Versatile Spin on the Mad Hatter Card Die Set

As we celebrate Memorial Day, I’m excited to showcase two unique card projects that highlight the versatility of the Mad Hatter card die set from Scrappy Boy Stamps. While this die was originally designed for whimsical, themed projects inspired by the tale of the “Mad Hatter”, I decided to take a different approach and customize it for today’s patriotic holiday.

Project 1: Patriotic Themed Card

A mash up between Scrappy Boy & Pajama Crafter Stamps

For my first project, I focused on a vibrant red, white, and blue palette to create a heartfelt card honoring our fallen heroes. By changing up the colors and incorporating relevant embellishments, I transformed the Mad Hatter die into something truly special for this occasion. The combination of thoughtful design and color allowed me to create a meaningful tribute that resonates with the spirit of Memorial Day.

Project 2: Celebrating Birthdays with Pinup Girls

In contrast, my second project features the same Mad Hatter die set, but this time paired with the brand-new Pinup Girls Birthday set that was released earlier this week. By simply adjusting the colors and the sentiment, I was able to create a fun and festive birthday card! This demonstrates just how adaptable these products can be, allowing for endless creative possibilities.

The beauty of crafting lies in the ability to innovate and personalize your projects. With a little imagination, you can repurpose any die set to fit a specific occasion or theme, proving that your creativity is your only limitation.

I hope my projects inspire you to think outside the box and explore new ways to utilize your crafting supplies!

Happy crafting, and enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day!

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.
