From One Pair of Glasses to Two Music Icons 🎶👓

One pair of glasses, two iconic music-inspired cards! 🎶👓 See how I stretched the Scrappy Boy Stamps Silly Creature Backpack Add-On Dies to create playful nods to John Lennon and Ozzy Osbourne while mixing and matching some of my favorite dies.

Sometimes my favorite cards start when I stop looking at a die for what it is supposed to be and start wondering, “What else could this become?”

That is exactly what happened with the Silly Creature Backpack Add-On Die Set from Scrappy Boy Stamps. Those oversized glasses immediately got my attention—and before long, I was using them to create two completely different cards inspired by iconic musicians.

🎶 IMAGINE…

For my first card, those big round glasses immediately made me think of John Lennon.

I combined dies from several of my favorite Scrappy Boy Stamps sets to build the scene, including the Stitched Scene Building Dies. The oversized black glasses became the focal point, while the colorful background, clouds, sunshine and musical notes helped bring my little tribute to Imagine together.

Of course, I had to add plenty of white gel pen details. Those tiny highlights and stitched accents really make black die cuts pop!

🦇 From Lennon to the Prince of Darkness

Then I started looking at those same glasses again…and went in a completely different direction!

This time they became the foundation for my playful Ozzy Osbourne-inspired “Prince of Dorkness” card. 😂🦇

I combined the glasses with additional Scrappy Boy dies, added those unmistakable blue lenses, bats, wings and lots of white gel pen detailing. The result is definitely silly, a little spooky, and exactly the kind of unexpected card I love making.

👓 One Die—Completely Different Looks

This is one of my favorite things about die cutting: you don’t have to use a die exactly as it was intended.

The glasses may have started as an accessory in the Silly Creature Backpack Add-On Die Set, but with a little imagination they became:

🎵 John Lennon’s signature round glasses
🦇 Ozzy-inspired violet / blue shades
✂️ A starting point for combining pieces from completely different Scrappy Boy sets

Scrappy Boy Alphabet Dies

Marquee Sign (smaller alphabet)

Wings & Sun Dieset

And now I’m wondering…which music icon should I try next? Can you see my next music inspired card??? 🤔🎸

You can find the Silly Creature Backpack Add-On and lots of other dies perfect for mixing, matching and stretching your stash at Scrappy Boy Stamps⁠.

Thanks for stopping by StampedbyKelly! I hope this inspires you to pull out some of your own dies and look at those little pieces in a completely different way.

Happy crafting! ❤️ Kelly

From Shells to Flowers

Who says seashells have to stay at the beach? In today’s card, I’m transforming shell images into beautiful flowers with a fun, unexpected twist using the SHARK-UTERIE stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps! Stop by for step-by-step details, close-up photos, and a creative technique that will have you looking at your stamps in a whole new way.

Sometimes the smallest stamp in a set becomes the biggest surprise!

When I was first designing this SHARKuterie Board stamp set from the July Pajama Crafter Stamps’ Release, I added this cute little shell, which is perfect for beach scenes. But after playing around with it, I discovered that stamping three shells together created the sweetest little flowers!

I loved this concept so much that I designed two completely different cards using the same shell flowers—proving that a single stamp can inspire so many creative possibilities.

🚀 Create an Interactive Card That’s Out of This World!

Create an interactive space-themed rocking card with easy Copic coloring and a 360° spinning sentiment using the new SpinCycle Micro Rotators. Put together with a combination of my favorite wet and dry adhesives. Perfect for making someone smile!

One of my favorite things about cardmaking is combining Copic coloring with interactive elements. There’s just something magical about handing someone a card that actually moves. It immediately brings a smile to their face!

For today’s project, I reached for the adorable Such an Asteroid stamp set and created a rocking card that features not one—but two interactive elements!

The entire card gently rocks back and forth, while the sentiment spins a full 360 degrees.

Color First…Then Build Your Scene

Before I even think about assembling my card, I always start with the coloring.

These sweet astronauts from Such An Asteroid stamp set were an absolute joy to color with Copics. I kept the spacesuits bright and clean using cool grays and added pops of vibrant reds and blues to coordinate with the rocket. For the night sky, I blended rich blues into a soft glow behind the astronauts before splattering white paint to create the stars.

One of my favorite things about space-themed cards is that there’s no right or wrong. You can create colorful galaxies, glowing planets, or simply let your imagination take over.

Interactive Cards Don’t Have to Be Complicated

If you’ve never made a rocking card before, don’t let it intimidate you.

In fact, you probably already have everything you need!

Look through your craft room for:

  • Circle dies
  • A circle cutter
  • Bowls or plates to trace
  • Or simply fold your cardstock in half and cut a half-circle, just like we all learned in kindergarten.

Sometimes the simplest supplies create the most memorable cards.

Add Even More Movement

Want to take your interactive cards to the next level?

The new SpinCycle Micro Rotators from Pajama Crafter Stamps make it incredibly easy to add spinning elements to your projects.

I used one behind my sentiment so it spins a full 360°, but that’s only the beginning!

Imagine adding them to:

  • planets
  • stars
  • balloons
  • flowers
  • steering wheels
  • snowflakes
  • pinwheels
  • ornaments
  • little critters
  • anything you want to twirl!

You can even add multiple SpinCycle Micro Rotators to a single card to create several independently spinning elements. The possibilities are almost endless, and they add such a fun surprise for the recipient.

Copic Color Combinations

I always enjoy sharing the colors I use in case you’d like to recreate the look or adapt it to your own project.

Products Used

Final Thoughts

Interactive cards may look impressive, but they’re surprisingly easy to create—and they’re always the cards people remember.

Whether you use supplies already in your craft room or decide to try the new SpinCycle Micro Rotators, I hope this project inspires you to add a little movement to your next handmade card.

After all, handmade cards should be just as fun to play with as they are to create!

🌙 One Small Step for Creativity | Celebrating National Moon Day

In celebration of Apollo 11 and National Moon Day, this card captures the wonder of humanity’s first steps on the Moon. Featuring the Moon Landing Stamp & Coordinating Outline Dies paired with the bold American Flag Die Set from Scrappy Boy Stamps, this design pays tribute to the courage, innovation, and patriotism of one of history’s greatest achievements. With Copic coloring, held together by TapeRunner.com tape runners and a touch of sparkle, it’s a heartfelt reminder to always reach for the stars.

Apollo 11 Inspired Card featuring. Scrappy Boy Stamps

Today we’re celebrating National Moon Day, which commemorates the historic Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969. What better way to honor that incredible achievement than with a handmade card inspired by one of history’s greatest adventures?

For this patriotic design, I paired the adorable Moon Landing Stamp & Outline Dies with the absolutely stunning American Flag Die Set from Scrappy Boy Stamps. The bold flag creates the perfect backdrop for our little astronaut, while the Apollo 11 emblem adds a fun nod to the mission that inspired generations to dream big.

Easy & No Mess Dry Adhesive TAPERUNNER

To give the flag rich, vibrant color, I airbrushed the die cuts with my Copic Airbrush System using:

  • R46 for the red stripes
  • B29 for the blue field
  • C2 lightly airbrushed over the white stripes to create soft dimension without losing the crisp patriotic look

The astronaut was colored with Copics using:

Copic Colors

Skin

  • E04
  • E11
  • E13
  • E00
  • E000
  • R20

Spacesuit

  • C2
  • C4
  • C7
  • Copic Opaque White for highlights

To finish everything off, I added a touch of Stickles from my stash to the Apollo 11 patch for just the right amount of sparkle—because even space deserves a little shimmer!

I love how this card combines patriotism, history, and a sweet whimsical character into one clean design. Sometimes all it takes is one small stamp set to inspire a giant leap in creativity!

Summer Week with Pajama Crafter Stamps

Set sail for Summer Week with Pajama Crafter Stamps! This cheerful square card features the adorable Kraken Good Day stamp set paired with layered ocean waves created using the Stitched Scalloped Border Dies, a textured Circle Peek-a-Boo Die, and a sentiment cut with the Banner Die Set. See how I combined scene building, Copic coloring, and dimensional die cutting to create a bright beach-inspired card that’s perfect for celebrating all the fun of summer! 🐙🌊☀️

Set Sail for Summer with the Kraken Good Day Stamp Set

When I think of summer, I immediately picture sunny skies, sparkling water, and fun adventures on the ocean. My featured card layout is versatile enough to be a backdrop for so many different beach scenes. I hope you use these ideas as a springboard to create your own!

For my Pajama Crafter Stamps Summer Week project, I created a bright, beach-inspired square card featuring the adorable pirate octopus from the Kraken Good Day Stamp Set. It’s a playful reminder that summer is all about making waves, exploring new adventures, and having fun!

One of my favorite things about themed weeks is seeing how every designer interprets the same challenge in completely different ways. While some may create camping scenes or floral gardens, I decided to head straight to the beach with layered ocean waves and a cute little kraken pirate ready to sail into summer.

Creating the Background

The background is where this card really comes to life.

I began by die cutting multiple wave sections using the Stitched Scalloped Border Dies. Each layer was ink blended with shades of aqua, turquoise, and soft blue to create movement and depth. A few darker blue marker dots and plenty of white gel pen to create splatter to help give the look of sparkling ocean spray.

To ground the scene, I created sandy shoreline layers using warm kraft cardstock and added additional white dots with my white gel pen to create “splatter” for a whimsical beach feel. I do the same with brown marker dots in different sizes for added interest and texture, think “grains of sand.”

Adding Dimension & Movement

One of my favorite design elements is the large circle focal point. I cut a hole in the middle of the circle to allow me to pop-up a SPIN-CYCLE Micro Rotator, so my boat ROCKS!!!! Follow me on social media @stampedbykelly to see my reel in action!!!

I used the Circle Peek-a-Boo Die to create a layered window effect behind my stamped image. The embossed circle adds wonderful texture while helping draw your eye directly to the adorable pirate octopus. I used 3D Galaxy Gloss, but you can achieve the same end result with items already in your stash! Do you have Crystal Effects, Glaze, Heat emboss with clear powder over your ink blended circle, clear Nuvo drops, clear paste or emboss or cut out of glossy cardstock.) These are all ways I add interest without added bulk.

The circle overlaps the waves and shoreline, giving the entire card a dimensional scene-building effect.

Coloring the Kraken

The star of the card is, of course, this sweet pirate octopus from the Kraken Good Day Stamp Set.

I colored him with Copic markers in cheerful shades of lavender and purple before adding warm wood tones to the boat and rich blacks and reds to his pirate hat. Small white gel pen highlights help bring the image to life.

His little telescope, treasure chest, and pirate sword make him ready for a full day of summer adventures.

Finishing Touches

To complete the design, I stamped the sentiment:

“You Octopi My Heart”

and die cut it using the Banner Die Set. The soft pink banner adds just enough contrast while balancing the overall composition.

Finally, I finished everything with:

  • White gel pen dots for splatter
  • Small heart embellishments
  • Foam adhesive for added dimension
  • Dry Adhesive at TapeRunner.com – use PROMO CODE KELLY10 for 10% off your cart.

Don’t miss it—these prices are already amazing!

We have been celebrating PET WEEK all week, with cards featuring stamped images of our furry, feathered and scaled friends.

I’m so excited to share today’s project featuring an absolutely adorable new set from Pajama Crafter Stamps — Furever Loved from the March 2026 release!

This set is truly a must-have for your craft stash… because honestly, who can resist a cute dog?! 🐶 Whether you’re creating for a friend, a fellow dog lover, or even a heartfelt “just because” card, this set has so much versatility built right in.

💖 Pairing Products for a Versatile Look

For this project, I paired the stamp set with the In My Heart of Hearts Stencil, also from Pajama Crafter Stamps. This stencil is perfect for creating customized, romantic and fun backgrounds—ideal for everything from friendship cards to more elegant, celebratory designs.

And today, I’m sharing two looks using this stencil… one traditional and one with a fun twist!

🎨 Technique Spotlight: Get More From Your Stencil (No Waste!)

If you’ve ever finished stenciling and noticed all that leftover ink sitting on your stencil… don’t clean it just yet! 👀

Instead, try this:

👉 Lightly mist your stencil (depending on your ink type)

👉 Flip it over onto a clean piece of cardstock

👉 Press to transfer the remaining ink

This creates a completely different “negative” impression background—and it’s such a fun way to stretch your supplies!

I used a cardstock that could handle a slightly wetter medium to avoid warping, and the result was a beautifully soft, organic background that looked totally different from the original design.

🐶 Bringing It All Together

For my second card, I paired that transferred background with the black-and-white dog image from Furever Loved, adding just a pop of color to the bow to match the inked background.

The result? A playful, coordinated design that feels cohesive without being overly busy.

💍 The Original Design

I’m also sharing my original card, where I used the stencil as intended. This created a more polished, elegant background—perfect for a wedding or formal celebration card.

Same stencil… two completely different looks!

💬 Which One Is Your Favorite?

Do you love the soft, elegant original or the playful, no-waste background version? I’d love to hear which one you’d choose!

🛍️ Special Feature + Weekend Savings!

I’m so honored to be featured at Pajama Crafter Stamps right now, and to celebrate, there’s a special deal just for you:
