Create with Polar Pals: Crafty Tag Inspiration!

Featuring Polar Pals Stamp Set from PCS

Hello, crafty friends! 🌟

I’m excited to share a fun project featuring one of the newly released stamps from Pajama Crafter Stamps called Polar Pals! This adorable stamp set is perfect for the cozy holiday season, and I’ve paired it with some dies from my stash to create a layered tag that adds a special touch to any gift. 🎁✨

This layered tag isn’t just a pretty addition to gifts; you can also think outside the box! Here are a few more creative ways to use tags:

  • Elements on a Scrapbook Page: Incorporate your tags as decorative elements on your scrapbook pages. They make great titles or embellishments!
  • Christmas Tree Ornaments: Use your tags as ornaments for your Christmas tree, adding a personal and handmade touch to your holiday decor.
  • Banners & Garlands: Create a beautiful banner with tags strung together to celebrate special occasions or to decorate your craft space.
  • Bulletin Board Décor: Jazz up your bulletin boards with themed tags that can be changed out seasonally to keep things fresh.

There’s so much to do with tags, and I hope this project inspires you to get crafty!

Crafting a Spooktacular Halloween Card: Unleash the Magic! 🎉✨

Hello, fellow crafters! As we embrace the autumn season, I couldn’t resist diving into the fun world of Halloween crafting! Today, I want to share a whimsical card idea that combines some fabulous products I adore: the Mason Jar Mini Album Die, Ghost Mouse Die Set, the Farm Truck Envelope Add-On Die Set and Marquee Die Set from Scrappy Boy Stamps. Get ready to brew up some enchanting creations! 🌙👻✨

🪄 Here’s How I Crafted This Card:

  1. Jar Full of Magic:
    I started by using the Mason Jar Die to create a spooky container that perfectly fits my theme. This jar will be the home for the cutest little pet ghosts, making it not just a card but a magical keepsake! 🐾💀
  2. Adorable Ghost Friends:
    Next up, I pulled out the Ghost Mouse Die Set to cut out some charming little ghosts. Their playful expressions are simply irresistible and add a delightful touch to the card! 😻👻
  3. Perfectly Styled Tags:
    Now, let’s talk about the Marquee Die Set! I used it to create smaller font letters to add to my tag that accentuate my jar beautifully. You can personalize them with your pet ghost’s name or just label it as “Pet Ghost!” These little details make the card feel even more special. Tie it on with some Bakers Twine! 💖🗒️
  4. Embellishments Galore:
    To finish off my card, I added fun embellishments like fall leaves and pumpkins from the Farm Truck Envelope Add On Set. I created a shaker, so this set was perfect to make custom fillers to shake around. The goal is to make this card truly one-of-a-kind, full of the season’s magic! 🎃✨

Share the Love!
As a member of the Scrappy Boy Stamps’ Design Team, I truly enjoy exploring my creativity and sharing it with all of you. Let’s toast to a spooktacular crafting session together, where every pet ghost shines as bright as the autumn moon! I can’t wait to see your ghostly creations—share them with me @stampedbykelly and tag #scrappyboy with your projects! 🌟

Unleashing Creativity: Merging Stamped Images for Whimsical Creations

Hey, fellow crafters! 🌟

Today, let’s dive into the magical world of stamping and explore how we can transform our stamped images into whimsical scenes that tell entirely new stories. The beauty of crafting lies in its endless possibilities, and merging different stamp sets allows us to stretch our imaginations beyond the original designs!

Why Mix and Mash?

Often, we get caught up in using our stamps exactly as intended. But what if we dare to break that mold? By mixing and mashing our favorite stamped images, we can create unique narratives that are both fun and unexpected! Think about taking a flower from one set and placing it alongside a character from another—suddenly, you’ve got a new scene full of life and creativity! 🌈✨

Embrace the Joy of Creation

One of the best parts of crafting is enjoying the process itself. Don’t worry about strict rules or expected outcomes. Allow your instincts to guide you! Even if things don’t turn out as planned, each creation is a step on your artistic journey.

Right now, I have a fun project on my desk that’s in the works. I can’t wait to see how it evolves! Let’s inspire one another with fresh ideas and push our boundaries together.

Join Me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stampedbykelly?igsh=b2dmZ3gydm5jM2N5&utm_source=qr

So, grab your favorite stamps, cut them out, and start mixing! Let’s stamp our way to creativity and make this journey colorful and fun. Don’t forget to share your creations with me @stampedbykelly I’m always looking for new inspiration!

Happy stamping! 🖌️✨

Crafting with Nostalgia: A Dude Card Inspired by a Classic TV Show 🎨

Craft Roulette Submission featuring Scrappy Boy Stamps

This week’s Craft Roulette challenge has me reminiscing about a timeless TV series that bridges generations. My son enjoys streaming the show now, just as much as I did when it was first run, and I couldn’t help but let that nostalgia inspire my latest card project! If you’re not familiar with Craft Roulette, be sure to check it out for endless inspiration!

Parameters:

  • Project Type: Dude Card
  • Colors: Sunflower Field 🌻
  • Element: Bird or Birds 🐦
  • Random Element: Soot
  • Personal Touch: Products from Scrappy Boy Stamps

With these parameters in mind, I decided to create a fun card that can definitely appeal to the guys in our lives. Here’s how I tackled it:

  1. Dude Card Theme: To keep the card gender-neutral yet engaging, I drew inspiration from the iconic Etch-A-Sketch, a classic toy that ties the card back to the nostalgic theme of the TV show. Boys love toys, right? It’s the perfect motif! Season 3, The Pen. Coincidentally, one if the very few episodes only featuring 2 of the characters.
  2. Soot Element: I incorporated the random element of soot by using Ranger Ink in the color Black Soot. This added a dramatic flair to my design, using a mini-ink blender and focused on edges and highlighting details.
  3. Birds in the Sky: To fulfill the bird element, I etched playful birds in the sky. I created a panel featuring a stunning skyline that reflects the urban setting associated with the show. I impressed the New York Skyline die into the panel and then ink blended the Black Soot into the lines, allowing them to really pop. I connected the lines impressed into the paper, just like they had to connect when using the actual toy.🎉
  4. Sunflower Field Colors: To capture the sunflower field theme, I used vibrant yellow and golden shades throughout the card to create a sunny backdrop featuring some patterned paper from The New Yorkers’ Collection. I also googled the color pallet and included in my images.
  5. Scrappy Boy Stamps: I made sure to incorporate products from Scrappy Boy Stamps to personalize the card further. The details I added really brought the design to life and aligned perfectly with the memories that inspired it.
Etch-A New York Memory

In summary, my completed card features a sky filled with etched birds, a dynamic skyline backdrop in a minimalist design, to emulate the results an Etch-A-Sketch would give. I used Gilded Embossing Powder to embossed my sentiment on the Etch-a-Sketch. The toy is the focal point, on top of splashes of sunflower yellows in the variety of patterned paper in the New Yorkers’ Collection.

Featuring Scrappy Boy Stamps & Dies

The Etch-a-Sketch was made using elements from a variety of dies available at Scrappy Boy Stamps, but you may already have these simple shapes in your collection, including older Scrappy Boy releases.

  • Game Controller Card Die – knobs & arrows
  • Etched A2 Rectangle Card Dies
  • New York Skyline

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! ✂️🌟

My Featured Project: A2 Card featuring “You Are”

Featuring YOU ARE stamp set

For my project, I used the new stamp set called “You Are.” You can check it out here: https://pajamacrafterstamps.com/STAMPEDBYKELLYBLOG

In my design, I incorporated some pink small polkadot patterned paper that I ran through an embossing folder. To bring out the intricate details of the embossing, I dragged a white pigment ink pad over the raised areas. This technique beautifully highlights the texture and makes the design pop!

Next, I layered the circle stamped image using ink blending with distressed ink in pale pink, giving it a soft, dreamy look. To add some dimension, I used dimensional foam tape to pop it up, creating an eye-catching focal point on my card. This is just one of the new sets released.

Crafting as a Stress Reliever: The Joy of Handmade Cards 🌸✨

In today’s fast-paced world, finding ways to unwind and de-stress is more important than ever. One of the most therapeutic activities you can embrace is crafting—specifically, making handmade cards. Not only is it a fantastic outlet for creativity, but it gives you the opportunity to connect with loved ones in a heartfelt way. Let’s explore how crafting can be your escape from stress and a beautiful way to uplift those you care about!

The Magic of Handmade Cards 💌

Imagine sitting down with your favorite colors, stamps, and papers, ready to create something truly special. The act of crafting allows you to immerse yourself in a world of creativity, where your worries can fade away. As you stamp, color, and assemble, you’ll find yourself lost in the joy of creation. Plus, the end result isn’t just a piece of art—it’s a heartfelt message for someone who needs a little encouragement or celebration!

Meet the Star of the Show: Pajama Crafter Stamps’ Sketched Florals – Roses Stamp and Die Bundle 🌹

One of my favorite tools for creating stunning cards is the Sketched Florals – Roses Stamp and Die Bundle from Pajama Crafter Stamps. This versatile set allows you to make beautiful floral designs that are perfect for any occasion—from birthdays to “just because” notes! The intricate details of the roses bring a touch of elegance to your cards, making them truly special.

Adding a Touch of Magic: Water Droplets with Crystal Glaze ✨

To elevate your card-making game, consider adding water droplets using crystal glaze. This simple technique adds depth and dimension, making your flowers look fresh and dewy. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Stamp and Color: Start by stamping your roses and coloring them with your favorite medium. Watercolors or Copic markers work beautifully!
  2. Apply Crystal Glaze: Once your flowers are colored and dried, take your crystal glaze and gently apply small droplets over the areas where you want to create the illusion of water droplets. Use a fine-tip applicator for precision.
  3. Let it Dry: Allow the glaze to dry completely. As it dries, it will create a glossy finish that looks just like real water droplets!
  4. Assemble Your Card: Finally, assemble your card with your favorite embellishments and a heartfelt message stamped and popped up with dimensional foam tape.

The Gift of Connection 🎁

After you’ve created your stunning card, think about who in your life could use a little pick-me-up or a reason to celebrate. Whether it’s a friend going through a tough time or a loved one achieving a milestone, your handmade card can make a world of difference. It’s a tangible reminder that someone cares, and sometimes, that’s just what someone needs to turn their day around.

Join the Crafting Community! 🌈
