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.

I’m excited to share this A2-sized card project that’s perfect for baseball fans and can be customized for any occasion! Using the fantastic “Adult Sippy Cup” die and the “Let’s Play Ball” 6×6 paper pack from Pajama Crafters Stamps, I was able to whip up a fun and engaging card that truly showcases the versatility of these products.

One of the best aspects of the “Let’s Play Ball” paper pack is its thoughtful design.

Celebrating Memorial Day with Creativity: A Versatile Spin on the Mad Hatter Card Die Set

As we celebrate Memorial Day, I’m excited to showcase two unique card projects that highlight the versatility of the Mad Hatter card die set from Scrappy Boy Stamps. While this die was originally designed for whimsical, themed projects inspired by the tale of the “Mad Hatter”, I decided to take a different approach and customize it for today’s patriotic holiday.

Project 1: Patriotic Themed Card

A mash up between Scrappy Boy & Pajama Crafter Stamps

For my first project, I focused on a vibrant red, white, and blue palette to create a heartfelt card honoring our fallen heroes. By changing up the colors and incorporating relevant embellishments, I transformed the Mad Hatter die into something truly special for this occasion. The combination of thoughtful design and color allowed me to create a meaningful tribute that resonates with the spirit of Memorial Day.

Project 2: Celebrating Birthdays with Pinup Girls

In contrast, my second project features the same Mad Hatter die set, but this time paired with the brand-new Pinup Girls Birthday set that was released earlier this week. By simply adjusting the colors and the sentiment, I was able to create a fun and festive birthday card! This demonstrates just how adaptable these products can be, allowing for endless creative possibilities.

The beauty of crafting lies in the ability to innovate and personalize your projects. With a little imagination, you can repurpose any die set to fit a specific occasion or theme, proving that your creativity is your only limitation.

I hope my projects inspire you to think outside the box and explore new ways to utilize your crafting supplies!

Happy crafting, and enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day!

Celebrating International Pi Day on 3/14

I am following up after my LIVE held on Tuesday, 3/14, International Pi Day, where I started to share how to get creative and make something fun and unique to honor the day! And what better and CALORIE FREE way to celebrate Pi Day, than by creating a pie shaker element using the Circle Shaker Basics 1 set from Stamp Anniething?

A pre-recorded video will be shared on the Stamp Anniething Stampers Facebook page shortly which will provide additional details and elaborate more on how to create this shaker element and two 5.5 inch square cards. My initial LIVE was cut short due to a family emergency and appreciate everyone’s concern. We are all good now!

To get started, you’ll need the Circle Shaker Basics 1 set, some cardstock in your desired color, chipboard, acetate sheet, shaker bits and liquid adhesive. Begin by die-cutting 5 circles using the circle “frame” die from the set – one from cardstock and the others from chipboard. Make sure when gluing together, they match up in size.

5 chipboard & 1 card-stock – image shows which dies to use to cut. Keep negative pieces for a future project. Cut acetate sheet with the single die at the top. Later, we will use this to seal your pie and create barrier to hold shaker bits in.

Next, layer of each die-cut with the liquid adhesive and use brayer or your fingers to make sure the layers are stacked evenly and ensure there is no air or separation between layers to prevent your shaker bits from escaping.

Running brayer over each layer helps create a strong seal, keeping shaker fill where it belongs.

Now, add the shaker bits-on top of the cardstock circle in the well you created, as desired – you can add whatever you want to create interest (sequins, clay shaker bits, etc). I used jelly dots. You can use one color or simply mix a variety of colors for a more random look, as I have done here. Once you’re happy with how the shaker filling are arranged, carefully glue the cardstock circle onto the top on the acetate circle to seal.

See the depth created by layering chipboard versus using foam tape.

To create wavy pie crust edge, trace circle onto coordinating card stock. Then cut with scissors a curvy edge about 1/2 inch wider than the initial line drawn. Ink blend edges to look like it browned in oven and finish with white gel pen for added interest.

This photo shows the different pieces that will be glued together to create pie

Fill well with shaker bits after gluing down to free-handed circle you traced and fussy cut to create the wavy outside of the pie crust edge. This seals one side of your pie element. Place something heavy to ensure good adhesion.

Finally, you can add some touches to make it look like a pie – for example, you can cut small strips of card stock in 1/4 in strips either with decorative scissors or your paper trimmer. Consider ink blending the edges to create a visual effect of being browned in the oven. Other options for a decorative edge could be to use the edger dies from Stamp Anniething to make it look more like rippled pastry to form the lattice crust.

Ink blend your strips and glue down in s lattice design snd then cut off any edges that hang over.

Layer strips and glue down to single frame to create pie top.

And voila – you now have a pie shaker element that you can use to decorate cards, scrapbook pages, or even as a fun little trinket to give away as a gift, attached to a tag, memordex card or mini recipe album! The possibilities are endless, and the best part is that you can customize it to fit your personal style and preference.

So why not get your creative juices flowing and make your own pie shaker element to not just celebrate International Pi Day, but stretch your current die stash and use your supplies in a new, unique and fun ways!?!

Happy crafting!

Memorial Day Card Inspiration

Thank you to the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice. This card’s color pallet was inspired by the colors in our American 🇺🇸Flag.

A2 Size Card featuring Annie’s Garden Stamp Set: Bumblebee and Roses

I created this card using images from the Bumblebee and Roses set from Annie’s Garden.

I stamped the flowers onto a A2 size card panel using Memento Black Ink on card stock that is alcohol ink friendly. I used 110 lb Hammermill paper.

Stamp your image in different angles on card panel to cover.

I started coloring the leaves using my COPIC markers. Y04, YG07 and G09 were used to color the leaves.

Sometimes if you are coloring something quickly, I do assembly line coloring, to speed like colored objects.

I don’t always go ahead, as I like the ink to be wet when coloring so that the colors blend automatically, the work is done for you when you apply the ink layers while the ink underneath is still wet, or at least damp.

To color the RED roses, I used the following blend: BV23 (shadow/under paint), R22, R24, R29, and R39.

After coloring all the flowers, I decided I wanted to create a wooden background. I divided the panel using a ruler and doodled with a Micron permanent black ink and filled in with Copic markers to complete the background.

Continue down the panel until wood pattern is complete

COPIC Blends are as follows:

Blue Roses – B01, FBG2, FB2, B12 and B18
White Roses – C1, Y000 and RV000
Bumblebee – Y000, YR23, YR27, FY1 and BG11
Wood – E57, E53, E51, E50 (shadow BV31 & E13)

Once the Copic coloring was complete, I used Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol to add extra depth to the shadows. Thank you for your support. Please like and follow! Happy Crafting!❤️
