Two cards, one release—and completely different vibes! From a magical backpack shaker card featuring a clear-front-and-back gate to a fandom-inspired fun fold, these projects show just how versatile this release can be. Come see all the details!
Hi crafty friends!
Today I’m sharing two very different card projects created from the same Scrappy Boy Stamps release—and I love how each one takes on its own personality!
✨ Shaped Backpack Card – A Magical Journey
First up is this shaped backpack card featuring elements inspired by a certain classic adventure. I incorporated the iconic yellow brick road along with the gates to an emerald city to really bring the scene to life.
The highlight of this design is the interactive shaker gate—and not just any shaker! I created it with a clear front and back so you can see the movement from both sides. It adds such a fun, unexpected detail and makes the card feel extra special.
I used both wet and dry adhesive to put together my elements. For 10% Off TAPERUNNER products at TapeRunner’s website using promo-code KELLY10.
One of my favorite things about the backpack die is how versatile it is. While I used it as a card base here, you could easily turn this into a treat holder or even a mini album by adding a few extra elements.
👀 Fandom-Inspired Fun Fold Card
For my second project, I went in a completely different direction with a fandom-inspired design and a fun fold card secured with a belly band.
This style was perfect for showcasing multiple patterned papers from the release. I love mixing and layering prints, and this fold really lets each one shine while still feeling cohesive.
And for those who recognize the inspiration—this one is a subtle nod to a certain road-tripping duo who spend their time facing the unknown. 😉
💡 Why I Love This Release
What really stands out to me is how versatile this release is. From whimsical, storybook-inspired designs to bold fandom creations, there’s so much you can do depending on your style and mood.

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

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.

Today I’m thrilled to share Pajama Crafter Stamps’ newest release: Hog Your Shine! I paired this new set with two favorites — Stadium Food and Date Night — to make a fun, snack-loving card with the giggle-worthy sentiment, “I’m just here for the snacks!” Food (and friends) really are the best part of any get-together, and these stamps capture that playful vibe perfectly.

Pig Press — used on top of my stamp positioner for a solid impressions every time

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.

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.

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.

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.

In this post, I’m excited to share four stunning cards created using Scrappy Boy Stamps! Each design showcases how layering can bring depth, interest, and texture to your projects. It doesn’t matter what kind of embossing you choose; the key is to build those layers for added dimension that truly makes your cards pop! Join me as I explore various techniques and materials that elevate your crafting game, inspiring you to add your unique touch to your creations!
I’m thrilled to share FOUR unique and whimsical projects that celebrate pop culture and childhood memories, showcasing the latest imaginative items from Scrappy Boy Stamps! 💖 Each creation features their playful stamps, outline dies, and coordinating paper packs—designed to make your crafting journey a joyful experience!
✨ 1. Slimline Card This card showcases the main release stamp set, Beyond the Normal, inspired by all things supernatural and mysterious that touch our nostalgic hearts. Its bold design invites you to embrace the weird and wonderful! Check out how vibrant it looks!
For my first project, I put together a slimline card featuring characters inspired by a beloved pop culture show. I really appreciate the benefits of a slimline card; it provides extra space to let my creativity flow and allows for more stamping images to be included, which is always fun! This layout gave me the chance to showcase multiple characters in a way that reflects the show’s intriguing concept of two distinct worlds. To illustrate this, I stamped part of my scene upside down as well as right side up on the front of the card, which I found to be a playful way to add depth to the design. Additionally, I wanted to highlight one of the characters, so I heat embossed it in white on darker patterned paper. This creates a striking contrast that draws attention to this focal element, adding an extra layer of visual interest to the overall project!
✨ I love transforming my projects by layering elements together, and my secret weapon? The fantastic dry adhesive from taperunner.com! This game-changing tape runner allows me to build my layers without any warping or absorbent moisture that can harm my precious paper fibers. Plus, it’s quick, clean, and perfect for every craft! With different tape runners available for various projects, there’s something for everyone. I highly recommend checking out tape runner.com and using promo code KELLY10 for 10% off everything in your cart! 🎨💖
Maleficent Add-On Dies (Optional Backpack Base Sold Separately)
🎒 2. Shaped Card / Gift Box / Favor Using the Maleficent Backpack Add-On (base Backpack Die sold separately), I crafted a versatile design that can serve as a shaped card, mini album, party favor, or gift box! This creation is perfect for adding a whimsical touch to any occasion while celebrating those childhood adventures. Don’t miss this in action!
Use any embossing folder to add interest to layers.
🐷 3. Square Card
Featuring the Ham It Up stamp set, this fun square card was inspired by the Scrappy Boy March card sketch challenge. It’s a fantastic way to unleash your creativity and reminisce about our favorite whimsical moments! Check out the details!
😁 4. Shabubu Head Mini Album Die
I transformed this adorable mini-album and card die that’s playful enough for teens (or even adults!) with braces! By cutting tiny pieces from the zipper die in metallic silver cardstock, I created fun custom braces. There is a zipper die in several of Scrappy Boy Stamps’ sets, like the jacket add-on, the backpack base die, and possibly more others. It’s the perfect way to celebrate a new smile and relive those cherished memories!

Jan 2026 New Release from PAJAMA CRAFTER STAMPS featuring card using FUNNY BUNNIES
Hey there, crafty friends! I’m thrilled to share my latest creation featuring the delightful Funny Bunnies stamp set, just released by Pajama Crafters this January. This 6 x 6 stamp set is not just adorable; it’s bursting with personality and charm that’ll undoubtedly make your crafting experience exceptional! I have edited the photo to prevent theft of the images, but you can see the official photo on the Pajama Crafter Stamps’ website through my personal link here: https://pajamacrafterstamps.com/STAMPEDBYKELLYBLOG
Copy Protected Sneak Peek
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!
Featuring Funny Bunnies Stamp Set – Jan 2026
I incorporated some patterned paper from my stash to create a stunning backdrop, but don’t shy away from using your favorite background techniques! The best part about the bunnies is that they can shine against any creative landscape you conjure. Imagine the fun possibilities!
📸 See Here for a Peek at the full stamp set! Funny Bunnies Stamp Set Pajama Crafter Stamps
Don’t underestimate the power of words—this set comes with a variety of sentiments, from phrases like “Everything will be FINE” to heartfelt messages celebrating friendship. Bunnies are no longer just for Easter; they’re here to spread joy year-round!
For this card, I carefully stamped that fabulous “nerdy” fashionista bunny onto marshmallow alcohol blending cardstock. Coloring her in with my trusty Copics brought her to life, and I added some dainty details with a white colored pencil and gel pen to make her pop even more. To give the design solid grounding, I layered some gorgeous stitched dies from my stash, which I ink blended with Distress Inks for added depth. I used my trusty TAPE RUNNER dry adhesive and love how quick it came together with NO DRYING time!!! Visit http://www.taperunner.com and use PROMO CODE: KELLY10 for 10% off your entire cart!
