Crafting Magic with Scrappy Boy’s YARN MINI ALBUM / CARD DIE: Snowman Edition!

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 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:

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! 🐾💀
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! 😻👻
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! 💖🗒️
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! 🌟
