Who knew a soda can could be so SPOOK-tacular? 👻🥤

I’m back with my second Halloween creation featuring the Sassy Club Stamps Soda Can Die Set! Meet Dr. Ghoul, an adorable mummy made with cardstock scraps, a little ink, and plenty of crafty imagination!

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know my rule: Before purchasing a crafty product, I try to think of at least three different ways to use it. Well, this die set has inspired FIVE projects!

A Little Inspiration from a Crafty Friend 💕

Several weeks ago, my talented friend Sandi Powers shared an adorable project where she transformed a dinosaur image from Pajama Crafter Stamps into a mummy!

Her creativity inspired me to look at my own supplies differently. Why not give my soda can a mummy makeover, too?

Let’s Get Wrapped Up! 🧻

My favorite part of Dr. Ghoul is those mummy bandages, made entirely from cardstock scraps!

  • Mummy bandages: Cut scraps into strips with my deckled-edge blade, inked the edges, and layered them for dimension.
  • Metallic details: Mirror cardstock gives the soda can rim, pull tab, and bottom a realistic shine.
  • Halloween sparkle: Stickles on the straw add a little holiday glitz!
  • Card layers: Kraft, black, and orange cardstock.
  • Finishing touches: Googly eyes, white gel pen details, glossy dots, and Halloween embellishments from my stash.

Time to Get Wild! A Safari-Inspired Card with Scrappy Boy Stamps 🐭🌿⌚

My crafty rule? If I can’t use it three different ways, I think twice before buying! Join me as I mix Scrappy Boy Stamps’ September release with past favorites to stretch my stash, spark creativity, and make every crafty dollar count! Follow @stampedbykelly for more inspiration! 💕

Happy Monday, crafty friends!

It’s TIME to GET WILD! This week’s Scrappy Boy Stamps Design Team project combines a little safari adventure, a little mouse-inspired magic, and a whole lot of die-cutting fun!

One of my favorite things about Scrappy Boy Stamps is finding unexpected ways to combine products from different collections. Just because a die was designed for one project doesn’t mean it can’t become something completely different!

And that’s exactly what happened with this card!

🌿 A Little Safari Adventure

The stars of this card are the adorable safari hats created with the Mouse Safari Hat Embellishment Die. I cut two hats using warm brown cardstock, added green glittery hatbands, and finished one with a red polka-dot bow. Ears cut out from solid black cardstock.

For the background, I used leafy green patterned paper from Scrappy Boy’s Cute Capybara 6×9 Paper Pack. It’s a great reminder that themed paper collections can work beautifully for projects beyond their original theme.

I added black cardstock strips for contrast and red patterned ticket strips along the top and bottom to frame the card.

⌚ Time to Get Wild!

Of course, every safari adventure needs a little good timing!

I used Scrappy Boy’s Watch Shaker Die Set to create the dimensional watch on the right side of my card. I layered the pieces in warm golden tones with red accents and a white clock face. The spotted pattern is from the 6 x 9 Faux Fur Paper Pack.

Then I reached for the alphabet letters included with the World’s Best Mug Die Set to create my sentiment:

TIME TO GET WILD!

I love how the oversized letters follow the curves of the safari hats. A few white gel pen highlights and some sparkle were the finishing touches.

The Ticket Strip Embellishment Die added another fun element. Those little ticket shapes aren’t just for tickets! They also make great decorative borders.

🛍️ Let’s Talk Scrappy Boy Supplies!

Here’s what I used to bring this project together:

● Watch Shaker Die Set — novelty watch

● Mailbox Shaker Die Set — mouse ears for the watch

● Mouse Safari Hat Embellishment Die — safari hats

● World’s Best Mug Die Set — sentiment letters

● Ticket Strip Embellishment Die — photographed, so link shared, but not used in final project

● Cute Capybara 6×9 Paper Pack — leafy patterned background

● Faux Fur 6 x 9 Paper Pack — animal fur patterned paper on watchband

Shop the products and coordinating collections at Scrappy Boy Stamps.

Don’t overlook the dies and papers you already own! Mixing collections is a great way to stretch your crafting supplies and get even more creative possibilities from each purchase.

💕 My Favorite Dry Adhesive — TapeRunner.com

With all these paper layers and die-cut embellishments, you know I needed a dependable adhesive!

My favorite dry adhesive comes from TapeRunner.com, one of my crafty sponsors.

I love using a tape runner for attaching cardstock mats, patterned papers, and die-cut layers. It’s quick, convenient, and helps keep my crafting moving without waiting for liquid glue to dry.

TapeRunner offers a variety of handheld dry adhesive applicators, so you can find a style that feels comfortable in your hand.

Spooky Cute with the Scrappy Boy Stamps August Release! 🦇🎃

Get spooky cute with the Scrappy Boy Stamps August Release! I’m mixing stamps, dies, paper and a little unexpected inspiration to create Halloween projects filled with dimension, personality and fun—including a special treat box made for my grandson and one of our favorite Halloween traditions. 🎃🦇✨

If you know me, you know I LOVE finding unexpected ways to use my crafty supplies! Sometimes a stamp or die may have been designed with one idea in mind, but I immediately start thinking, “What else can I turn this into?” And living in Central Florida, it probably comes as no surprise that a little theme park inspiration frequently sneaks into my craft room!

For these projects, I pulled out some of the spooky-cute goodies from the Scrappy Boy Stamps August Release and gave them my own magical Halloween twist.

“Have a Wicked Good Time” Gothic Picture Frame card

The Gothic Picture Frame Die was perfect for framing one of the adorable images from Hex Appeal. I kept the traditional Halloween palette of purple, black, orange and white, adding little pops of sparkle to the spiderweb details. I love how the oversized frame makes the stamped image feel like a spooky portrait hanging inside a haunted mansion.

Mouse Bat card — “You’re the Treat I Was Hoping For

Then came those Mouse Bat Embellishment Dies! These were just begging for some theme park-inspired fun. I played with layers, patterned papers, torn edges and white gel-pen accents to create two completely different Halloween cards.

Mouse Bat card — “Nice Fangs! Eek! Bite Me!”

The dimensional bat ears make such a fun focal point, especially when paired with those classic Halloween colors. I especially love how differently the same basic die can look simply by changing the background, composition and embellishments.

And I couldn’t stop there!

Full Pumpkin Mouse project showing both the card and dimensional folio/box

The Pumpkin Mouse Backpack Add-On became the star of one of my favorite projects. Instead of treating it simply as a backpack element, I transformed that big pumpkin into a dimensional Halloween centerpiece and paired it with plaid and spiderweb papers. A little tissue paper and some fun halloween treats and gift cards and you have a decorative, heartfelt gift and memory holder once emptied.

Close-up of Pumpkim

Lots of ink blending, deep shadows, white gel-pen highlights, lovingly put together with my hand-held adhesive from Tape Runner and a little shimmer helped bring all of those layers to life. The close-up really shows how much dimension and texture can be added to simple paper die cuts.

This treat box is especially close to my heart because I created it for our grandson, Nolan, as we prepare for our second annual visit to the Mouse’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at the theme park, a tradition that combines celebrating his birthday with officially kicking off the Halloween season here in Central Florida!

I personalized the back with his name and even pulled in the castle die from a previous Scrappy Boy Stamps release, which was the perfect way to add another little touch of magic. I love mixing pieces from different releases and finding completely new ways to use them, but even more, I love knowing that this project will become part of another special memory with our grandson. 🎃🏰🧡

Finally, I had to play with the Haunted House Folio. I went for an eerie-but-cute abandoned mansion look with weathered grays, soft lavender, glowing golden windows, bats, spiderwebs, a pumpkin and even a creepy little hand reaching up from below. It was easy to position and adhere the smaller pieces with my hand-held Tape Runner. This project has so many tiny details to discover!

That’s probably my favorite part about crafting: the dies give you the pieces, but your imagination gets to decide what they become.

I hope these projects inspire you to pull out your supplies and look at them a little differently. Mix collections. Change the intended theme. Add unexpected colors. Turn an embellishment into the focal point. Most importantly, have fun creating something that’s completely you.

Happy crafting — and stay spooky! 🦇🎃✨

Scrappy Boy Stamps

In today’s feature, I’m sharing three distinct card designs created using Scrappy Boy Stamps’ newest release. Each project highlights a different product and aesthetic:

Exploring the newest Scrappy Boy Stamps release has been such a creative journey! For this set of projects, I challenged myself to take three very different elements—the Spooky Farmhouse background, the Wings & Sun dies, and the Little Pig Backpack add-on—and design cards that each tell their own story. From moody and textured to bright and uplifting to sweet and playful, these cards may look completely different at first glance—but there’s a common thread in how they were built. Take a closer look and see if you can spot what ties them all together! It’s my adhesive from TAPERUNNER.COM! Use Kelly10 for 10%OFF only at TapeRunner.com website.

The Spooky Farmhouse 6×6 Background Stamp brings in layered texture and seasonal depth. I cut it down to fit a standard A2 sized card front.

The Wings & Sun Dieset offers a softer, uplifting focal point with dimension. I ran the diecut wings through an embossing machine using a folder from my stash. I think it adds fun dimension, but not necessary. I then applied foam tape in thin strips to create waves and movement. The sentiment is from Bump In The Night and great to send an uplifting message, “Angels Are Always Watching.”

The Little Pig Back-Pack Add On adds a whimsical, character-driven element. Featuring the dry adhesive from TapeRunner and use PROMO CODE KELLY10 for 10%OFF your TapeRunner Cart.

Love putting my layers together with TapeRunner dry adhesive. Less Mess! Convenience ❤️

I wanted the pig to be dressed like a bee, so I used yellow snd black card for the body and ran the mouth diecut through a second time and cut the flower zipper pull a teo times in black to create a bee antennae. The bee is from the Honey Bear Back Pack Add-On Set.. Patterned papers are from the Honey Bear 6×9 paper pack. All of the Little Pig’s body cut from the pink striped patterned papers, with some elements colored with alcohol markers, white gel pen and crystal glaze for added shine.

Coincidentally, I found delight in the “I’ve Got Your Back” sentiment from Bump In The Night, which is a perfect for those who love a GOOD PUN! Perfect for ANY backpack project, LOL!

While each project stands on its own stylistically, they were intentionally designed with a unifying creative approach. Support small businesses and find these products and so much more at Scrappy Boy Stamps

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.

If you’d like to give it a try, you can visit taperunner.com and use the promo code KELLY10 to receive 10% off your entire cart.

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.

Products Used

The Other Side Stamps & Outline Dies Beyond The Normal Living Room Background Stamp (6×6) Beyond The Normal 6×9 Paper Pack

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.

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.
