You’re a Classic! 🐭❤️ | My 118th Craft Roulette Submission

Celebrating my 118th Craft Roulette submission with a classic mouse-inspired soda can card using The Sassy Club Stamps Cola Pop Stamp Set and Soda Can Die! Discover how I interpreted planetary colors, created wonky mouse ears, and incorporated two folds — including a clever scored flap that lifts to reveal a hidden handwritten message!

A Little Wonky, A Little Disney Magic, and a Whole Lot of Crafty Fun!

Hello, crafty friends! 💕

I’m back with another creative adventure, and this week I’m celebrating my 118th submission to Craft Roulette! Can you believe it?

One of my favorite things about Craft Roulette is how four completely random parameters can take you in a direction you might never have considered. This week was no exception!

My family as The Emperor’s New Groove this year!

I reached for The Sassy Club Stamps Cola Pop Stamp Set and the Sassy Club Stamps Soda Can Die, then after a visit to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, was inspired to create this fun modification that combines a classic color palette, a little wonky personality, and a secret place to write a special message.

And yes, this little cutie is another addition to my More Spooky Sips collection! Follow me on Facebook at Stampedbykelly.

🎰 This Week’s Craft Roulette Parameters

  • Project: Card with 2 Folds
  • Colors: Planets
  • Element: Beautiful
  • Random: Wonky

Let’s see how I brought all four parameters together!

🪐 Planetary Colors — A Little Creative Interpretation!

When the wheel landed on Planets, I immediately started thinking about the beautiful colors found throughout our solar system.

Rather than trying to represent every planet, I focused on a few planetary color inspirations that would complement my mouse-inspired design.

My deep red cardstock reminds me of Mars, the Red Planet, while the soft pink and creamy white blending on my soda can brings to mind the beautiful cloud colors associated with Venus. I incorporated black accents for the darkness of space and sparkling silver elements inspired by the metallic and icy appearances we often associate with celestial landscapes.

Of course, I couldn’t resist adding those cheerful yellow buttons for a little extra sunshine!

I love how a color parameter can be interpreted creatively while still maintaining the overall personality of a project.

🐭 You’re a Classic!

For my main focal point, I used The Sassy Club Stamps Cola Pop Stamp Set along with the Sassy Club Stamps Soda Can Die to create this adorable classic mouse-inspired character.

The black mouse ears, rosy cheeks, striped straw, and bright yellow buttons immediately give this little can its personality!

The sentiment “YOU’RE A Classic” seemed especially fitting. After all, some things just never go out of style!

I also added a shiny metallic can lid and pull tab, along with little white gel pen highlights and dotted details.

Behind my character, I layered red cardstock over a thin black mat and added horizontal strips of silver glitter cardstock for just the right amount of sparkle.

✂️ Two Folds — With a Little Creative Paper Engineering!

Now, this is where I had some fun interpreting the Card with 2 Folds parameter!

My first fold is the traditional fold used to create my A2-size card base. This gives me the familiar greeting card format that opens to reveal the inside.

My decorated card front sits on top of that folded A2 card base.

But I wasn’t finished there! This is a photo dramatization of my “second” fold.

For my second fold, I created a scored hinge on the red lower portion of my soda can character.

That scored line allows the red section to fold upward like a little flap, revealing a hidden space underneath where a personal message can be written!

So technically, my second fold isn’t another fold in the actual card base. Instead, it’s a functional scored fold incorporated into the decorative element attached to the card front.

And I’m counting it! 😄

I love how it adds a fun interactive surprise without changing the overall appearance of the card.

A little note tucked behind that adorable character makes the card even more personal. After all, part of the joy of handmade cards is giving someone a reason to smile!

🤪 Wonky Is Wonderful!

The Wonky parameter was another opportunity to have some fun!

Instead of using perfectly symmetrical die-cut circles, I cut my black mouse ears by hand, allowing them to have slightly uneven, wonky shapes.

I also placed the striped straw at an angle rather than straight up and down.

These little imperfections give the character personality and remind me that handmade doesn’t have to mean perfectly measured or perfectly symmetrical.

Sometimes wonky is exactly what makes something wonderful!

✨ The Beautiful Little Details

For the Beautiful parameter, I focused on all those little finishing touches that make a handmade card feel special.

From the softly blended rosy cheeks and the silver metallic lid to the glittery horizontal accents and tiny white gel pen dots, each detail adds a little charm.

I especially love the contrast between the bold red cardstock and the shimmer of the silver accents.

It’s amazing how a few small details can bring an entire character to life!

🥤 More Spooky Sips with The Sassy Club!

This little mouse-inspired soda can is another addition to my More Spooky Sips series featuring The Sassy Club Stamps Cola Pop Stamp Set and the Sassy Club Stamps Soda Can Die.

I’ve been having so much fun transforming the same basic soda can shape into different personalities!

Each new creation reminds me how versatile our crafting supplies can be when we start looking beyond their original purpose.

And there’s still another spooky sip waiting to be revealed!

💕 118 Submissions and Still Having Fun!

After 118 Craft Roulette submissions, I still get excited to see what those spinning wheels will challenge us to create next!

Some weeks the parameters come together easily. Other weeks they require a little imagination, a little experimenting, and maybe even a few creative interpretations.

But that’s the fun of it!

Whether you’re an experienced cardmaker or someone who has never picked up a stamp or die-cutting machine, I hope my projects encourage you to give something creative a try.

You don’t need to be an artist to enjoy creating. Sometimes all you need is paper, a few favorite supplies, and a crafty friend to inspire you along the way.

Thank you for stopping by and sharing a little craft therapy with paper with me today!

Until next time, keep crafting, keep smiling, and never be afraid to get a little wonky!

Happy crafting! 💗

From Coffee Breaks to Happy Hour: Creativity Around the Clock!

From coffee breaks to Friday at five! ☕⌚ I’m sharing two fun cards featuring the September Scrappy Boy Stamps release, including a realistic faux-leather watchband made entirely from cardstock and an office-inspired design full of personality. Discover creative techniques, playful sentiments, and inspiration for stretching your crafty stash!

Scrappy Boy Stamps | September 2026 Release

Hello, crafty friends!

Who says work and play can’t go hand in hand? Today I’m sharing my last two Design Team projects featuring products from the September 2026 Scrappy Boy Stamps release, since the October 2026 release is just around the corner! One celebrates the magic of Friday at five, while the other reminds us that a little coffee can solve just about anything! Sentiments on both cards and the images of the a couple on the one card all from the Professionally Unhinged stamp set.

What I love most about this release is how versatile the products are. Whether you’re creating for a coworker, celebrating a birthday, or just making someone smile, there are so many possibilities.

It’s Friday at Five Somewhere!

First up is my watch-inspired card featuring the fabulous Watch Shaker Die Set.

I created a layered design using Scrappy Boy’s Little Dog 6×9 blue patterned papers, stitched rectangular panels, and a classic brown-and-gold watch combination. The warm metallic finish and distressed-looking watchband add a little sophistication, while the sentiment brings all the fun! I cut the metal pieces out of a frosted gold card stock versus a glitter or shiny metallic. It’s all personal preference.

From Cardstock to Leather — A Little Paper Magic! ⌚

  • Choose cardstock: Use kraft-colored, medium- to heavyweight cardstock.
  • Dampen: Lightly mist with water—do not soak.
  • Crumple: Form a tight ball, unfold, and repeat several times.
  • Dry: Let the wrinkled cardstock dry completely.
  • Ink: Apply Distress Ink over the surface to highlight the creases. The darker brown distress ink that gets into the wrinkles, and the stitched cuts from the die, actually look like fabric stitches once dry. I actually took E13 and E25 of my Copic markers to accentuate some areas for added interest.
  • Distress: Add white gel-pen streaks and gently smudge them. I love how the white ink bleeds into the small wrinkles that you created when crumbling the paper. Make sure that you smear that ink when it is wet because the more messy, the more natural it looks versus planned markings.
  • Die-cut: Cut the watchband shape from the Watch Shaker Die Set with a die-cutting machine.
  • Finish: Smooth the edges and add holes, fasteners, or other details.

Result: A weathered, leather-like watchband made from cardstock. ❤️

“Celebrate Like It’s Friday At 5”

I especially love how the watch becomes the focal point of the entire card. And here’s a little crafty reminder: just because a die is designed as a shaker doesn’t mean you have to use it that way! Sometimes a beautiful dimensional embellishment is all you need.

Featuring Scrappy Boy Dies & Patterned Papers

Coffee Solves Most Problems!

Next up is a little workplace humor featuring the Professionally Unhinged and Working Hard-ish collection.

I combined two adorable characters inspired by a couple we grew to love, with a bold geometric patterned background and layered geometric die-cut frames.

Copic Coloring Combinations

I had so much fun coloring these two adorable characters! There’s just something about a cute stamped image and a little coffee inspiration that makes me smile. I stamped both characters using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and reached for my Copic Sketch Markers to bring them to life. I wanted to keep their coloring soft and cheerful, with warm peachy skin tones, rich brown hair, and beautiful shades of blue for their outfits. I especially love how the little details, from his coffee cup to her tiny notepad, give each character so much personality!

The sentiment says it all:

“Coffee Solves Most Problems”

I love the dimension created by the overlapping frames and circular elements. They give the card plenty of movement without overwhelming the stamped characters.

This is such a fun collection for creating cards for coworkers, friends, supervisors, or anyone who appreciates a little workplace humor.

Stretch Your Stash and Think Outside the Box

One of my favorite things about paper crafting is discovering new ways to use products I already own.

Before adding something to my collection, I like to imagine at least three different ways I could use it. These projects are great examples of how patterned papers, basic layering dies, sentiment banners, and specialty dies can work together to create something completely different.

Don’t be afraid to mix collections, experiment with unexpected color combinations, or use a specialty die without its intended interactive feature.

Featured Scrappy Boy Products

My Favorite Dry Adhesive!

Of course, all those beautiful layers need something to hold them together!

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!

🚀 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!

There’s just something about Craft Roulette that pushes creativity in the best possible way! This week’s parameters came together for a project that is bright, playful, and just a little too relatable.

🎯 This Week’s Parameters:

Bridge Card Design , Salad Colors, Something that starts with “J” and Swipe or Swipes

🃏 Building the Card Design

I started with the bridge card base, which is one of my favorite interactive-style layouts. It creates dimension while still folding flat—perfect for mailing but with that extra wow factor when displayed.

From there, I leaned into the fruit salad color palette, pulling in bright, juicy tones that instantly give off happy, summery vibes. Think citrusy oranges, golden yellow pineapples, strawberry fuchsia, berry reds, and pops of fresh granny-smith apple greens—it’s impossible not to smile at this combination!

🔤 The “J” Element

For my “J,” I went with jammies—because honestly, what’s better than crafting in your comfiest clothes? 😄

I used adorable images from stamp set called PAJAMA POWER available at Pajama Crafter Stamps and paired them with the perfectly fitting sentiment:

“Born to Lounge, Forced to Work”

I mean… if that doesn’t sum up real life, I don’t know what does!

🎨 Swipe Details

The “swipes” bring this card to life. I incorporated:

Rainbow swipes in the background to add movement and energy A coordinating swipe across the bridge panel, tying everything together visually

To anchor the design, I added matted circle elements across the bridge, each highlighting the stamped images and helping guide your eye across the card.

💡 Final Thoughts

This project is the perfect example of how a structured challenge can spark unexpected creativity. The mix of:

dimensional design bold color choices playful theme

…made this one such a joy to create!
