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

Scrappy Boy Old meets New Release


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!

Unleash Creativity with Scrappy Boy Stamps: April 2025 Release 🌟


Hello, crafty friends! 🎨✨

Spring has sprung, and so has an exciting new release from Scrappy Boy Stamps! With fresh products hitting the shelves , it’s the perfect time to dive into some creative card-making. This release includes four fabulous lines: We’re Not Alone, Aliens Landed in Roswell, Cute Kids Playground, and a wonderful variety of card making and scrapbooking dies. Let’s check out some creative ideas for three card designs you can create with these new goodies!

1. I Want To Believe Slimline Card 🚀

I did a mash up of Aliens Landed in Roswell with We’re Not Alone to create a whimsical card showcasing one of the cutest aliens! Start with a dusky/starry night background using vibrant colors, then use the coordinating stamps and dies to bring your alien friend and beloved characters to life. For my card, I added an action wobbler to add movement and interest. Don’t forget to complete your card with a fun sentiment like “I WANT TO BELIEVE” to tie everything together!

2. Playground Fun Card 🎡

Using the Cute Kids Playground set, I crafted an adorable scene that captures childhood joy. To make your own, use the playground-themed stamps to create a colorful layout of kids playing on swings and slides. My card features a fun elephant slide. I layered several different coordinating patterned papers from the 6×6 paper pack in cheerful colors for that extra pop!

3. Rocking Horse Shaped Card🌌

Using the new Rocking Horse Mini Album Die, I created a shaped card. Use for scrapbook elements OR as it’s intended use, a mini photo album die. I cut all elements in white for ease and then use my Copic markers or Distress Inks to create additional colors. If you look closely, you might see that I ran some elements through my Big Shot die-cutting machine with a fun embossing folder. You can also use up your scraps! Have fun!

These new releases are sure to inspire and ignite your crafty spirit. Whether you want to create cheeky alien cards or childhood adventures, Scrappy Boy Stamps has you covered. Make sure to grab your favorites before they fly off their shelves!

Have A Beary Sweet Birthday featuring Stamp Anniething

Card features Build A Caring Bear
Limited Edition Set by Stamp Anniething

The art of gift-giving isn’t just about what’s inside the box. Adding a personal touch to your greeting card can make all the difference, especially when it’s for someone very special. That’s why I’m excited to share with you this really cute new set from Stamp Anniething that can be customized for any occasion and recipient.

Image is DISTORTED on purpose to prevent theft

I created a birthday card using the Build A Caring Bear set, as well as patterned paper from the SUMMER TROPICS pack as a background. So, let’s dive in and see how to make this versatile square card.

The first thing you’ll need is a 5 1/4 in square card base. This size will provide enough space to showcase your creativity while still being efficient enough to mail. Next, you’re going to create your characters using the Build A Caring Bear set. The great thing about this set is that you can mix and match the different elements like faces, arms and belly tag to create your unique bear. I decided to go with a Happy Cupcake Bear because I wanted to create a festive and colorful birthday card.

Once I BUILT my bear, I started creating a fun birthday scene. To do this, I downloaded a free digital image that coordinated with the image on my bear’s belly. It’s easy to do and it provides a great way to add a personal touch to your card. I went with a cupcake!

Free Digital Image – unknown source, so sorry

I wanted to create texture on the card, so I used patterned paper from the SUMMER TROPICS pack to make the background. The bright colors and versatile patterns are perfect for a celebration and it compliments the bear image well. I cut a total of four (4) two-and-a-quarter inch squares and a 2 1/2 inch square in white and a 2 3/4 inch square in black to frame and then place in center on the diagonal using double-sided foam tape. I had a small square scrap I added from the Pets Grab & Go Box (no longer available), that I added to the center of the square.

6×6 paper pack – 24 pages

Finally, I added a sentiment to the top right of the card, wishing the recipient a BEARY sweet birthday. It’s simple, but heartfelt, and it ties everything together nicely. Added some Enamel Dots from Stamp Anniething to repeat the pops of color in a triangular pattern, to draw your rye from the sentiment to the cherry on the cupcake and back to the sentiment again.

Build A Caring Bear Birthday Card

In conclusion, with little effort, anyone can make a sweet, personalized birthday card using the Build A Caring Bear set and Summer Tropics patterned paper. You can change the occasion, color scheme or even switch out the face, belly badge and arm positions to create a unique design tailored to whomever you’re giving it to. It’s a thoughtful gesture that shows you care, and the recipient will surely appreciate the time and effort put into it. Happy creating!

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!

Card using Pie Shaker Element

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.

Shaker Basics 1 from Stamp Anniething
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.

Edger dies/see smaller scalloped above
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.

Finished pie element

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!
