Sharing a card featuring Pajama Crafter Stamps and celebrating World Fussy Cutting Day!
Featuring Pajama Crafter Stamps
🎉✨ Happy World Fussy Cutting Day! ✂️🖌️
I’m excited to share a special card that highlights the magic of fussy cut stamped images! 💌
So grab some stamped images and a pair of scissors and let’s get crafting!
I started by using white pigment ink on Kraft colored cardstock, then heat embossed over the white ink with clear embossing powder. This technique created a beautiful look reminiscent of white royal icing on gingerbread cookies! 🍪✨
To add a touch of warmth, I blended some walnut stain Distress Ink around the edges of the cut images from the “Baking Spirits Bright” stamp set, giving them that freshly baked cookie vibe. After that, I gently wiped away any excess distressed ink from the embossed images with a soft cloth for a neat finish.
Fussy cut images popped up on watercolor panel with foam tape for added dimension.

Hello, fellow crafters! As we embrace the autumn season, I couldn’t resist diving into the fun world of Halloween crafting! Today, I want to share a whimsical card idea that combines some fabulous products I adore: the Mason Jar Mini Album Die, Ghost Mouse Die Set, the Farm Truck Envelope Add-On Die Set and Marquee Die Set from Scrappy Boy Stamps. Get ready to brew up some enchanting creations! 🌙👻✨
🪄 Here’s How I Crafted This Card:
Jar Full of Magic: I started by using the Mason Jar Die to create a spooky container that perfectly fits my theme. This jar will be the home for the cutest little pet ghosts, making it not just a card but a magical keepsake! 🐾💀
Adorable Ghost Friends: Next up, I pulled out the Ghost Mouse Die Set to cut out some charming little ghosts. Their playful expressions are simply irresistible and add a delightful touch to the card! 😻👻
Perfectly Styled Tags: Now, let’s talk about the Marquee Die Set! I used it to create smaller font letters to add to my tag that accentuate my jar beautifully. You can personalize them with your pet ghost’s name or just label it as “Pet Ghost!” These little details make the card feel even more special. Tie it on with some Bakers Twine! 💖🗒️
Embellishments Galore: To finish off my card, I added fun embellishments like fall leaves and pumpkins from the Farm Truck Envelope Add On Set. I created a shaker, so this set was perfect to make custom fillers to shake around. The goal is to make this card truly one-of-a-kind, full of the season’s magic! 🎃✨
Share the Love! As a member of the Scrappy Boy Stamps’ Design Team, I truly enjoy exploring my creativity and sharing it with all of you. Let’s toast to a spooktacular crafting session together, where every pet ghost shines as bright as the autumn moon!

My Creative Adventure
For my card, I experimented with no-line watercoloring using the enchanting Christmas Village Stamp Set. I paired it with a mirror card spatula die cut from the Baked With Love Die Set, adding a touch of flair and fun! The base of the A2 is a FLASH CARD panel I stamped on directly and colored up using my Copic markers. 🍪🏡✨ The result is a whimsical piece that perfectly captures the holiday spirit.

As we dive into the holiday spirit, I’m not only excited about the upcoming festivities, but I’m also preparing to celebrate my 35th wedding anniversary! 🎉 In the spirit of love and creativity, I recently dusted off an adorable stamp set from Pajama Crafters that caught my eye. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to share love and encouragement through our crafting.
A Special Celebration Card
For my anniversary card, I colored a cute image that represents my hubby and me, pairing it with the stunning heart locket die set. ❤️✨ To add an extra touch of warmth, I created an ink-blended background featuring embossed hearts. It truly captures the essence of our love story.
Perfect for Valentine’s Day!
Even if you’re not celebrating an anniversary, this set is perfect for crafting heartfelt cards for Valentine’s Day or any occasion to spread joy! I particularly love these cute, smaller images as they fit perfectly in those postage stamp layouts.

Today, let’s dive into the magical world of stamping and explore how we can transform our stamped images into whimsical scenes that tell entirely new stories. The beauty of crafting lies in its endless possibilities, and merging different stamp sets allows us to stretch our imaginations beyond the original designs!
Why Mix and Mash?
Often, we get caught up in using our stamps exactly as intended. But what if we dare to break that mold? By mixing and mashing our favorite stamped images, we can create unique narratives that are both fun and unexpected! Think about taking a flower from one set and placing it alongside a character from another—suddenly, you’ve got a new scene full of life and creativity! 🌈✨
Embrace the Joy of Creation
One of the best parts of crafting is enjoying the process itself. Don’t worry about strict rules or expected outcomes. Allow your instincts to guide you! Even if things don’t turn out as planned, each creation is a step on your artistic journey.
Right now, I have a fun project on my desk that’s in the works. I can’t wait to see how it evolves! Let’s inspire one another with fresh ideas and push our boundaries together.
So, grab your favorite stamps, cut them out, and start mixing! Let’s stamp our way to creativity and make this journey colorful and fun. Don’t forget to share your creations with me @stampedbykelly I’m always looking for new inspiration!
Craft Roulette Submission featuring Scrappy Boy Stamps
This week’s Craft Roulette challenge has me reminiscing about a timeless TV series that bridges generations. My son enjoys streaming the show now, just as much as I did when it was first run, and I couldn’t help but let that nostalgia inspire my latest card project! If you’re not familiar with Craft Roulette, be sure to check it out for endless inspiration!
Parameters:
Project Type: Dude Card
Colors: Sunflower Field 🌻
Element: Bird or Birds 🐦
Random Element: Soot
Personal Touch: Products from Scrappy Boy Stamps
With these parameters in mind, I decided to create a fun card that can definitely appeal to the guys in our lives. Here’s how I tackled it:
Dude Card Theme: To keep the card gender-neutral yet engaging, I drew inspiration from the iconic Etch-A-Sketch, a classic toy that ties the card back to the nostalgic theme of the TV show. Boys love toys, right? It’s the perfect motif! Season 3, The Pen. Coincidentally, one if the very few episodes only featuring 2 of the characters.
Soot Element: I incorporated the random element of soot by using Ranger Ink in the color Black Soot. This added a dramatic flair to my design, using a mini-ink blender and focused on edges and highlighting details.
Birds in the Sky: To fulfill the bird element, I etched playful birds in the sky. I created a panel featuring a stunning skyline that reflects the urban setting associated with the show. I impressed the New York Skyline die into the panel and then ink blended the Black Soot into the lines, allowing them to really pop. I connected the lines impressed into the paper, just like they had to connect when using the actual toy.🎉
Sunflower Field Colors: To capture the sunflower field theme, I used vibrant yellow and golden shades throughout the card to create a sunny backdrop featuring some patterned paper from The New Yorkers’ Collection. I also googled the color pallet and included in my images.
Scrappy Boy Stamps: I made sure to incorporate products from Scrappy Boy Stamps to personalize the card further. The details I added really brought the design to life and aligned perfectly with the memories that inspired it.
Etch-A New York Memory
In summary, my completed card features a sky filled with etched birds, a dynamic skyline backdrop in a minimalist design, to emulate the results an Etch-A-Sketch would give. I used Gilded Embossing Powder to embossed my sentiment on the Etch-a-Sketch. The toy is the focal point, on top of splashes of sunflower yellows in the variety of patterned paper in the New Yorkers’ Collection.
Featuring Scrappy Boy Stamps & Dies
The Etch-a-Sketch was made using elements from a variety of dies available at Scrappy Boy Stamps, but you may already have these simple shapes in your collection, including older Scrappy Boy releases.
Game Controller Card Die – knobs & arrows
Etched A2 Rectangle Card Dies
New York Skyline

Hello, fellow crafters! 🌼✨ Today, I want to share 3 card projects with you, all of which brought me so much joy and a sense of calm while creating. Crafting is such a wonderful way to relieve stress and express your creativity, and I hope my projects can encourage you to create your own.
Project 1: The New Yorkers Stamp Set 🌇
For my first project, I played with the New Yorkers stamp set along with the coordinating outline dies and some lovely pattern paper that adds character to my design.
My next project is a celebration of New York. Adding details with white gel pen and variety of Sharpies Acrylic Paint Brush Pens to give them depth and texture. It was a real joy to capture the essence of New York City, and I love how the colors came together.
My goal was to showcase the iconic skyline and capture the city’s spirit while reminding myself how versatile these products can be.
Project 2: Sneak Peek – Different Techniques with the Same Set 👀 Of you love The Mouse, consider following me @stampedbykelly on Social Media.
I’m excited to share a little sneak peek of my second project, which also features the New York Die Set. This time, I took a different approach with my techniques, and I was surprised at how refreshing felt to experiment while using the same set. It’s amazing how changing colors and methods can lead to such different outcomes! I look forward to sharing the full project in the coming week and I hope it encourages you to look at your supplies in a new light.
Project 3: Cute Kids Military Set 🎖️
Lastly, I want to introduce you to the adorable Cute Kids Military stamp set from Scrappy Boy. Honoring those who protect our freedoms, this sweet set showcases charming designs in the Cute Kids’ style representing different branches of the military. It truly warms my heart! ❤️
I enjoyed using the coordinating pattern papers that reflect patriotism and complement the playful illustrations. The sentiments in this set are heartfelt, and I hope they inspire others to create cards that celebrate our heroes in a meaningful way.
Conclusion 🎉
Crafting is not just about creating—it’s about the journey and the joy it brings to our lives. I hope my projects inspire you to use what you have, explore new techniques, and look at products differently than they were originally intended. Remember, it’s completely okay to be yourself in your craft, and there’s no right or wrong way to create. Happy crafting, friends! ✂️🌟
