March 2023 Scrappy Boy Release
Isn’t this stamp set the cutest? Each stamp in the set has been carefully designed to showcase the magical aura of the classic TV show. The genie is absolutely adorable and brings back memories of a beloved TV character. There is a genie bottle stencil in the release that was designed to add a touch of enchantment to your projects, and another background stencil, which I used with my gel press to create an abstract background, perfect for adding texture and depth to creations.

Thank you for joining me in this creative journey, and happy crafting!
Hey Scrappyboy Fans, have you seen the latest release of the Cute Girls Goth Girl stamp set?! This set is perfect for anyone who loves the darker side of life and wants to add a bit of edge to their paper crafting projects. Inspired by a popular cult classic cartoon turned TV show and dark comedy, this stamp set is the perfect way to pay homage to your favorite anti-hero, while creating a enchanting and unique card.

One theme that we can all relate to is a broken heart. Whether it’s a recent break-up or a lingering heartache, we have all experienced the pain of love lost. This is where the Cute Girls Goth Girl stamp set comes in. With this set, you can create a project that both acknowledges your pain and celebrates your strength. I chose to make a memorydex card. There are several styles of memorydex dies available at Scrappyboy.com. I layered over top of the memorydex card base. I also pulled in some of the coordinating cardstock, too. I stay within a 4 in x 4 in margin so I can use in my carousel style memorydex holder.

To start, choose a dark colored card stock as your base, whether it is a greeting card or a memorydex, as I did here. This can be black, dark purple, or even burgundy. Use the stamp set to create a scene using images from the Cute Girls Goth Girl set and adhere to the center of the memorydex card. I used the older man and woman (couple) and stamped on Hammermill 100# paper with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored up using COPIC markers. For the characters in this set, don’t forget that you can customize their hair, outfits, and accessories to fit whatever scene you want to create. It’s a versatile set and can also be colored up to be bright and glamorous; however, if you are going for a dark theme, don’t forget to accentuate the characters’ eyes with some eyeliner and little dark lipstick to really give your card a gothic vibe.
Now, to address the broken heart theme in my card, I used a sentiment from the set that reads “If someone breaks your heart, I’ll nail gun theirs.” The sentiment perfectly captures the pain of a break-up, while also celebrating the idea of self-care and moving on with the help of loved ones.

Finally, I added some embellishments to the memorydex card to really make it pop and tie things together, by cutting a heart from the Memorydex Essentials Die Set (pictured above) in half and then putting it back together on the dex card. I then added several small silver flat-backed gems on top to emulate nail gun studs. Whatever you choose, make it personal and make it yours. Think outside of the box and mix and match from what you already have in your stash. If you want to purchase coordinating products in this release, there are lots of options.

Are you tired of having piles of scraps left over from your crafting projects? Do you wish there was a way to make use of these scraps without having to throw them away? Look no further than Scrappyboy Stamps and his FABULOUS line of Memorydex Dies!
Memorydex Dies are a fantastic tool for any crafter looking to make the most of their scraps. Available in a variety of shapes and sizes, these dies are perfect for not only memorydex cards, but for creating unique and personalized elements to add to cards, scrapbook pages, and more. Scrappy Boy’s Memory elements add-on dies are great to use up your cardstock left over bits! Simply pour your scraps onto the dies and run them through your die-cutting machine to create perfectly shaped pieces that can be used in a variety of ways.
One great way to use Memorydex Dies is to create custom background elements for your projects. Layer scraps cut with different dies to add texture and interest to your design. You can also use the dies to create embellishments, such as flowers or stars, to adorn your projects.
Another fun way to use Memorydex Dies is to create your own custom embellishments. Cut scraps into unique shapes and sizes, then layer them together to create one-of-a-kind embellishments that match your project perfectly. For example, use a heart-shaped die to cut scraps in shades of pink and red, then layer them together to create a custom heart embellishment for a Valentine’s Day card.

Finally, Memorydex Dies are a great way to use up your scraps while creating a cohesive project. Choose a few colors or patterns that coordinate well together, then use the dies to cut scraps in these designs. You’ll be left with a bundle of perfectly coordinated pieces that you can use to make a truly unique project.

To make this 5 1/2 inch square card, I used the following supplies:
Magic Lamp Stencil
Arabian Nights 6×6 Double Sided Paper Pack
Arabian Nights Stamp Set & Coordinating Outline Dies
Coordinating Card stock | Glitter Cardstock
Double-Stick Foam Tape
Gold Embossing Powder
Embossing Ink
White Gel Pen
Memento Black Ink
5 1/2 x 11 in heavy card base, scored at 5 1/2
Distress oxide inks
1 1/2 in circle punch or die (straight edge and scalloped edge)
COPIC Markers
Saved all my scraps as I decided on a thin or thick mat.
I used The Magic Lamp Stencil on a piece of white card stock to make a background! So much fun!
Magic Lamp Stencil used with distress ink and white gel pen accents for added interest
I stamped the genie and the lamp images on white Hammermill card stock in 110 lb weight with Mememto Black Ink.
Genie Bottom – BG10, BG11, BG53, BG13 and white gel pen accents
Bracelets – Y13, Y15 and Y17, YR24
Lamp – Y00, Y11, Y15, YR23 & YR27
I used scraps to adorn my project, just looked for complementary shades from the colors in the patterned paper. Images were popped up with foam tape. Sentiment embossed with Versamark Ink on maroon card stock with Gold Embossing Powder to complete the card. THANKS for checking my project out. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
I had so much fun making this card. I wanted it to be colorful, like I remember the comic pages used to be, tucked in between the other black and white pages of the Sunday paper. I wanted there to be lots of angles and layers of tone on tone colors behind my focal point, one of the cutest little super heroes you ever did see in a stamp set from http://www.ScrappyBoy.com.
I was inspired by the divided blocks, white framing, the camera, filmstrip, reds, blues and showing movement on a page.
To make this A2 sized card, I used the following:
White Card Base – 4.25 in x 11 in, scored at 5.5 in
Red Card Panel – 5.5 in x 4.25 in
Black Card Panel- 5.25 in x 4 in
White Card Panel – 5 1/8 in x 3 7/8 in
Filmstrip diecut in black
Various Patterned Paper (use up scraps)
Scrap strips in black, red and white for your sentiment
I used Scrappy Boy Stamps’ new slimline comic strip builder frame and ink blended solid blocks of bright colors using distress ink pads in candy apple red, carved pumpkin, squeezed lemonade and peacock feathers on the white card panel. I then ink blended with the same color for a tone on tone with different patterns from a second stencil that Scrappy Boy Stamps released called Half-Tone Dots, as well as another stencil from my stash. The effect you are trying to achieve is movement and interest, so get creative.
I glued the ink-blended panel to the black panel, leaving a small frame around the edge. I then glued the black panel to the red panel and then the double-matted panel onto the card base.
I decorated the front by gluing a filmstrip diecut, after piecing patterned paper from the coordinating 6×6 paper pack called SuperHeros. This was adhered to the card front at an angle with double-stick foam tape for added dimension.
The super hero from the SUPER TEAM set was stamped with Momento Black Ink on Hammermill 110 lb white card stock, colored with Copic markers in the following combinations:
Red Suit – R20, R24, R29, R39
Yellow – Y13, Y15 and Y17
Flesh – E51, E30, E50
Cheeks -R20
Flames – Yellows and accented with red flicks using combos above.
Sentiment stamped with Black ink on a strip of white card stock treated with an anti-static powder bag in my stamp positioner. I then cleaned the stamp, leaving the strip in the positioner in place and stamped the sentiment over the original black impression with Versamark and then applied clear embossing powder and heat embossed the sentiment with my heat gun. I find that by using the positioner, I don’t have to fight with stray black embossing powder flecks and still gets a bold, shiny, black finish on my embossed images. I matted the sentiment with layers of black and red to tie everything together. I left the edges of the sentiment strip with strong, wonky angles for some playfulness. The card was finished off with embossed candy dots in black.

Sharing a fun project created with Scrappy Boy Stamps’ latest release called Curve Appeal. I decided on trying out a 6×6 square card. I used one of my favorite sentiments from the set, “Dance Like No One Is Watching.”
I wanted to create a Vegas Style Showgirl feel and used a combination of rich reds, black and to make it regal, accented everything in gold mirror paper. Using various dies from my stash, I cut feathers to give some additional visual interest. I also heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder.
Copic Markers were used to color the image in tbe following blends:
