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.

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.

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.

So Many Creative Possibilities

This newest release from Scrappy Boy Stamps offers so many fun ways to create cards, gifts, and interactive projects. Whether you’re making detailed scene cards, mini slimlines, or surprise gift packaging, these products make it easy to craft something memorable.

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.

🎉 Exciting News from Scrappy Boy Stamps! 🎉

In this post, I’m excited to share four stunning cards created using Scrappy Boy Stamps! Each design showcases how layering can bring depth, interest, and texture to your projects. It doesn’t matter what kind of embossing you choose; the key is to build those layers for added dimension that truly makes your cards pop! Join me as I explore various techniques and materials that elevate your crafting game, inspiring you to add your unique touch to your creations!

I’m thrilled to share FOUR unique and whimsical projects that celebrate pop culture and childhood memories, showcasing the latest imaginative items from Scrappy Boy Stamps! 💖 Each creation features their playful stamps, outline dies, and coordinating paper packs—designed to make your crafting journey a joyful experience!

✨ 1. Slimline Card
This card showcases the main release stamp set, Beyond the Normal, inspired by all things supernatural and mysterious that touch our nostalgic hearts. Its bold design invites you to embrace the weird and wonderful! Check out how vibrant it looks!

For my first project, I put together a slimline card featuring characters inspired by a beloved pop culture show. I really appreciate the benefits of a slimline card; it provides extra space to let my creativity flow and allows for more stamping images to be included, which is always fun! This layout gave me the chance to showcase multiple characters in a way that reflects the show’s intriguing concept of two distinct worlds. To illustrate this, I stamped part of my scene upside down as well as right side up on the front of the card, which I found to be a playful way to add depth to the design. Additionally, I wanted to highlight one of the characters, so I heat embossed it in white on darker patterned paper. This creates a striking contrast that draws attention to this focal element, adding an extra layer of visual interest to the overall project!

✨ I love transforming my projects by layering elements together, and my secret weapon? The fantastic dry adhesive from taperunner.com! This game-changing tape runner allows me to build my layers without any warping or absorbent moisture that can harm my precious paper fibers. Plus, it’s quick, clean, and perfect for every craft! With different tape runners available for various projects, there’s something for everyone. I highly recommend checking out tape runner.com and using promo code KELLY10 for 10% off everything in your cart! 🎨💖

Maleficent Add-On Dies
(Optional Backpack Base Sold Separately)

🎒 2. Shaped Card / Gift Box / Favor
Using the Maleficent Backpack Add-On (base Backpack Die sold separately), I crafted a versatile design that can serve as a shaped card, mini album, party favor, or gift box! This creation is perfect for adding a whimsical touch to any occasion while celebrating those childhood adventures. Don’t miss this in action!

Use any embossing folder to add interest to layers.

🐷 3. Square Card

Featuring the Ham It Up stamp set, this fun square card was inspired by the Scrappy Boy March card sketch challenge. It’s a fantastic way to unleash your creativity and reminisce about our favorite whimsical moments! Check out the details!

😁 4. Shabubu Head Mini Album Die

I transformed this adorable mini-album and card die that’s playful enough for teens (or even adults!) with braces! By cutting tiny pieces from the zipper die in metallic silver cardstock, I created fun custom braces. There is a zipper die in several of Scrappy Boy Stamps’ sets, like the jacket add-on, the backpack base die, and possibly more others. It’s the perfect way to celebrate a new smile and relive those cherished memories!

You can make a variety of different crafts such as cards, home decor, and scrapbook pages with this stamp set. Pair the colored images with the coordinated paper pack in both 6×6 and slimline.

Overall, the “She’s A Dream” stamp set is a must-have for anyone who loves the classic TV show and wants to add a touch of magic to their projects.

Thank you for joining me in this creative journey, and happy crafting!

Happy Easter Card featuring Stamp Anniething Classic

Dusting off old stamp sets always brings about a wave of creativity and nostalgia. With Easter fast approaching, I decided to take out an older stamp set from Stamp Anniething called “For Peeps Sake”. This set was released before the immensely popular Chibi line but still has the same cute and fun aesthetic that Stamp Anniething is known for.

I started by stamping the bunny in the grass, bunny holding Easter egg and basket, carrot, egg, flowerpot and chick from the set onto white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then colored them in with Copic markers, sticking to a soft pastel color palette to keep with the Easter theme. I also used a white gel pen to add some highlights and details to the images. I fussy cut the images and also removed the flowerpot from the flowers do I could embellish the sentiment a bit by popping flowers and sentiment up with double-sided foam tape.

For the background, I wanted to create a simple and whimsical scene. I used Distress Oxide inks in shades of blue and green to blend a sky and grass background, respectively. I also added some clouds using the clouds builder stencil by incorporating some white pigment ink. I used the grass builder stencil and ink blended in green on the bottom half of the card front. The background panel was cut from specialty paper called GEMINIO PAPER, a glossy paper that is not quite Yupo, but close. It stands up to dome fun ink and watercolor techniques and doesn’t warp or pill.

To finish off the card, I stamped a sentiment from the set onto a strip of extra ink-blended Geminino paper and this will be adhered to the top left hand corner over a banner I made using the carrot stamp and coloring up with my Copics for added interest.

Overall, I had a blast dusting off this old Stamp Anniething set and using it to create a fun Easter card. It just goes to show that sometimes, it’s worth looking back and giving some love to the stamp sets we may have overlooked from the past. Now go find a TREASURE from your stash and share what you make! Happy Crafting!

In case you haven’t heard it today, you are incredible and you matter!
