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

There’s something incredibly special about creating a wedding card—especially when it’s inspired by your own story.

Featuring Bound By Love Stamp Set

For today’s project, I designed an A2-sized card using the BOUND BY LOVE stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps’ newest release. The sweet, intimate illustration of the couple instantly brought me back to my own wedding day, which became the heart behind my color selections, including hair and skin tones.

I leaned into a classic black-tie color palette using COAL and MARSHMALLOW cardstock, accented with bold red to represent love and roses. I’ve always loved that combination—it feels timeless, elegant, and full of emotion.

To add depth and interest, I used the IN MY HEART OF HEARTS stencil in the background. The pop of red and repetition of hearts creates movement without distracting from the focal image. A layer of DISCO BALL Specialty Silver Sparkle Card Stock adds just the right touch of shimmer—because every wedding card deserves a little sparkle.

Layers easily put together using TAPERUNNER.COM

I really enjoy the convenience and ease of using my hand-held dry adhesive from Tape Runner. Use promo code KELLY10 for 10% OFF your cart!

What I love most about this design is how easily it can be customized. Whether you match wedding colors or personalize details for the couple, it’s a layout that adapts beautifully.

This card was made with intention and heart—just like the celebration it represents.

Creative Fun with the New Scrappy Boy Stamps Release

Discover three fun paper crafting projects featuring the newest release from Scrappy Boy Stamps! In this post, I’m sharing an A2 scene card, a playful mini slimline card, and a creative Easter favor made with the Shabubu Head Card Die and Blind Box Die. I’m also sharing one of my favorite crafting tips—using dry adhesive from Tape Runner to keep layers smooth and warp-free while assembling detailed card designs. ✂️✨

The newest release from Scrappy Boy Stamps is packed with playful characters, creative dies, and fun papers that make crafting an absolute joy! Today I’m sharing three different paper projects featuring items from this release. Each project highlights how easily these products can be mixed, matched, and customized to create something truly unique.

Before we jump into the projects, I also want to share one of my favorite crafting essentials. When assembling my cards and layered die cuts, I almost always reach for dry adhesive from Tape Runner. Dry adhesive is fantastic for cardmaking because it helps keep papers—especially lighter weighted papers—from warping or developing ripples, which can sometimes happen with wetter adhesives.

Another reason I love using dry adhesive is that it’s a bit more forgiving at the start. If something isn’t perfectly aligned, you can gently warm the adhesive with a heat tool and carefully lift the piece to reposition it before it fully bonds. This makes it much easier to straighten layers and fine-tune placement while assembling your design.

If you’d like to give it a try, you can visit taperunner.com and use the promo code KELLY10 to receive 10% off your entire cart.

A2 Landscape Card – The Other Side

For my first project, I created an A2 landscape card using the The Other Side Stamps & Outline Dies. I paired the images with the Beyond The Normal Living Room Background Stamp to build a fun and detailed scene.

To pull the design together, I used patterned papers from the Beyond the Normal 6×9 Paper Pack. The papers coordinate beautifully with the stamped images and really help bring the entire card to life. I love how easy it is to create a full scene with this collection—it almost feels like stepping right into the story.

When layering the stamped images and patterned papers, I used dry adhesive from Tape Runner to keep everything smooth and flat. Scene cards often include multiple layers, and dry adhesive helps prevent bubbling or distortion in the patterned paper.

Products Used

The Other Side Stamps & Outline Dies Beyond The Normal Living Room Background Stamp (6×6) Beyond The Normal 6×9 Paper Pack

Mini Slimline Card – Ham It Up

Next, I created a playful mini slimline card using the adorable Ham It Up collection.

This project features the Ham It Up Stamps, Outline Dies, and the coordinating 6×9 Paper Pack. The patterned papers add the perfect pop of color, while the stamped images bring so much personality to the card.

Mini slimline cards are such a fun format when you want something a little different while still keeping the design simple and eye-catching. I again used dry adhesive from Tape Runner while assembling the layers and die cuts because it works wonderfully for stacking die-cut elements while keeping everything smooth and wrinkle-free.

Products Used

Shabubu Easter Favor – A Fun Surprise Project

For my third project, I wanted to create something a little unexpected! I used the Shabubu Head Card Die and paired it with the Blind Box Die with Rip Strip to design a fun Easter favor or small gift project.

The Blind Box die creates a playful interactive element with the rip strip, making the project feel like opening a surprise package. To personalize the favor, I added a custom message using the Scrappy Boy Alphabet Die.

This would be perfect for Easter treats, small gifts, or party favors, and I love how these dies can be combined in creative ways to create something completely new. While building up the layered die pieces for the Shabubu design, dry adhesive from Tape Runner made it easy to stack the layers neatly while keeping everything perfectly flat.

So Many Creative Possibilities

This newest release from Scrappy Boy Stamps offers so many fun ways to create cards, gifts, and interactive projects. Whether you’re making detailed scene cards, mini slimlines, or surprise gift packaging, these products make it easy to craft something memorable.

And when it comes to assembling those layers, dry adhesive from Tape Runner is one of my favorite tools for keeping papers smooth, preventing warping, and allowing a little flexibility while putting everything together.

Each bunny in this set is the perfect size to truly stand out on an A2 card. Just picture it: a single bunny, commanding the stage and bringing smiles to anyone who sees it! Among them, there’s a bunny with an angry face that brings a giggle, a sweet one blowing bubble gum, and—my personal favorite—the chic bunny with quirky glasses and an amazing hairdo, which I think is as cute as a button!

Wonky Christmas Toy Card inspired by Craft Roulette

🌟 Exciting news, everyone! I’m thrilled to share the inspiration behind my newest card creation featuring Pajama Crafter stamps! 🎨✨

Let’s get crafting together! 🛌💌 #PajamaCrafterStamps #StampedbyKelly #HamdmadeCards

Craft Roulette inspired me this week — the challenge was a fun mash-up:
Project: HOLIDAY card
Colors: Forest Colors
Element: Toy(s)
Random: Wonky

I leaned into cozy, rustic holiday vibes and made a wonky, toy-themed holiday card using Pajama Crafter Stamps’ products. I started with a kraft colored card base, layered a white card layer using a smaller stitched panel and 3 separate stitched strips of paper 1 5/8 inch tall with my stitched die and placed them in a wonky format to give the design playful movement. The sketch came from a Pinterest post I loved by Creative Juice by Loni, but I modified it with my stitched dies to add texture and interest, plus I wanted my patterned papers to be more centered and cut them down a bit to approximately 1 5/8 inch x 3 3/4 inch wide.

Design highlights

  • Forest palette: deep pine greens, warm browns, golden yellow sunlight peeking through the trees and berry red accents for a classic holiday feel.
  • Toys element: I used the dinosaur playing drums from Dino-mite Birthday Stamp Set, ornament images from the Weinerful Christmas Stamp Set, pine branch from the Rustic Christmas Owl Stamp Set and the sentiment from the Holly Jolly Christmas Stamp Set.
  • Wonky layout: the tilted stitched panels using 3 different patterned papers from the 6×6 paper pack called WINTER PARADE. plus a slightly askew sentiment strip makes the card feel fun and handmade.
  • Finishing touches: foam tape to pop up focal images, a dusting of white gel pen “snow,” and crystal 3-d glaze and Stickles for some glitz.

Products I used (affiliate link)
https://pajamacrafterstamps.com/STAMPEDBYKELLYBLOG (https://pajamacrafterstamps.com/STAMPEDBYKELLYBLOG)

  1. Winter Parade 6×6 paper pack
  2. Dino-mite Birthday Stamp Set
  3. Holly Jolly Christmas Stamp Set
  4. Rustic Christmas Owl Stamp Set
  5. Weinerful Christmas

Quick how-to (5 minutes)

  1. Cut card base out of Kraft card stock. 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.
  2. Cut a white cardstock out if a slightly smaller stitched A2 sized stitched rectangle to allow some kraft color base to perk through.
  3. Cut 3 strips of patterned paper from the Christmas Parade Paper Pack at 1 5/8 in x 4 or use a size smaller A2 layering rectangle to add stitches on the edge of slightly smaller stitched panel; adhere each panel a little wonky/askew. See photo.
  4. Stamp the dinosaur playing drums image towards the bottom of a white piece if cardstock measuring 1 3/4 2 in x 3 3/4 in. Color with your favorite medium. I used Olo and Copic together, with some white pencil.
  5. Stamp pine branch on top and select 3 small ornaments and stamp haphazardly under the branch, connecting each ornament to the tree using a straight edge and a black fine liner pen.
  6. Adhere the stamped panel to a piece of kraft cardstock 2×4 inches. using dry adhesive mini tape runner. I used the Tape Runner MINI.
  7. Adhere all pieces except the stamped and colored matted panel using the Tape Runner Mini from http://www.TapeRunner.com. For 10% off use code: KELLY10
  8. Add sentiment, Stickles, crystal effects glaze and white gel pen snow; this allows you to tuck a sparkly accent or two.
  9. Add the stamped panel with double-sided foam tape for added dimension.
  10. I used a dirty ink-blending brush with some leftover Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink from Ranger. It took a little of the brightness out of the stark white panels to give a rustic or dreamy feel. You can simply add a small amount of the ink to a clean brush snd ink blend off most onto a piece of scrap paper and THEN to your project. It’s very subtle.

If you liked this, try the same sketch with different color combos or swap the images for other critters, toys or ornaments. Thanks for stopping by — and if you shop Pajama Crafter Stamps, I’d appreciate you using my affiliate link above!
