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.

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.

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.

🎉 Exciting News from Scrappy Boy Stamps! 🎉

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!

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!

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.

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! 🎃✨
