Two cards, one release—and completely different vibes! From a magical backpack shaker card featuring a clear-front-and-back gate to a fandom-inspired fun fold, these projects show just how versatile this release can be. Come see all the details!
Hi crafty friends!
Today I’m sharing two very different card projects created from the same Scrappy Boy Stamps release—and I love how each one takes on its own personality!
✨ Shaped Backpack Card – A Magical Journey
First up is this shaped backpack card featuring elements inspired by a certain classic adventure. I incorporated the iconic yellow brick road along with the gates to an emerald city to really bring the scene to life.
The highlight of this design is the interactive shaker gate—and not just any shaker! I created it with a clear front and back so you can see the movement from both sides. It adds such a fun, unexpected detail and makes the card feel extra special.
I used both wet and dry adhesive to put together my elements. For 10% Off TAPERUNNER products at TapeRunner’s website using promo-code KELLY10.
One of my favorite things about the backpack die is how versatile it is. While I used it as a card base here, you could easily turn this into a treat holder or even a mini album by adding a few extra elements.
👀 Fandom-Inspired Fun Fold Card
For my second project, I went in a completely different direction with a fandom-inspired design and a fun fold card secured with a belly band.
This style was perfect for showcasing multiple patterned papers from the release. I love mixing and layering prints, and this fold really lets each one shine while still feeling cohesive.
And for those who recognize the inspiration—this one is a subtle nod to a certain road-tripping duo who spend their time facing the unknown. 😉
💡 Why I Love This Release
What really stands out to me is how versatile this release is. From whimsical, storybook-inspired designs to bold fandom creations, there’s so much you can do depending on your style and mood.

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

For today’s project, I designed an A2-sized card using the BOUND BY LOVE stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps’ newest release. The sweet, intimate illustration of the couple instantly brought me back to my own wedding day, which became the heart behind my color selections, including hair and skin tones.
I leaned into a classic black-tie color palette using COAL and MARSHMALLOW cardstock, accented with bold red to represent love and roses. I’ve always loved that combination—it feels timeless, elegant, and full of emotion.
To add depth and interest, I used the IN MY HEART OF HEARTS stencil in the background. The pop of red and repetition of hearts creates movement without distracting from the focal image. A layer of DISCO BALL Specialty Silver Sparkle Card Stock adds just the right touch of shimmer—because every wedding card deserves a little sparkle.
Layers easily put together using TAPERUNNER.COM
I really enjoy the convenience and ease of using my hand-held dry adhesive from Tape Runner. Use promo code KELLY10 for 10% OFF your cart!
What I love most about this design is how easily it can be customized. Whether you match wedding colors or personalize details for the couple, it’s a layout that adapts beautifully.
This card was made with intention and heart—just like the celebration it represents.

Hello crafty friends!
Today I’m sharing a card created with the beautiful In Our Hearts Always stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps. This heartfelt set is perfect for creating cards that offer comfort, encouragement, and support during difficult moments. I paired it with a sweet bird image from the Birds of a Feather stamp set to create a design that feels gentle and thoughtful.
Card Design
For this A2 card, I wanted the design to feel simple and supportive, allowing the sentiment and imagery to take center stage. I began by hand-stamping and coloring the bird image, keeping the coloring soft so it would complement the sentiment without overpowering it.
To create a clean and polished layout, I layered panels of Marshmallow and Coal cardstock. The contrast between the light and dark layers provides a strong foundation for the focal image while still keeping the overall design elegant and balanced.
The sentiment from the In Our Hearts Always set adds the perfect message of comfort. This set is wonderful to have in your collection for those times when you want to send a meaningful card to someone who could use a little extra support.
Finishing Touches
Once the focal panel was complete, I assembled the layers onto an A2 card base. The layered cardstock panels help frame the design and draw the eye to the stamped image and sentiment.
This card is a reminder that handmade cards can be a powerful way to show someone they are loved and remembered.

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.

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.

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!

Craft Roulette inspired me this week — the challenge was a fun mash-up: Project: HOLIDAY card Colors: Forest Colors Element: Toy(s) Random: Wonky
I leaned into cozy, rustic holiday vibes and made a wonky, toy-themed holiday card using Pajama Crafter Stamps’ products. I started with a kraft colored card base, layered a white card layer using a smaller stitched panel and 3 separate stitched strips of paper 1 5/8 inch tall with my stitched die and placed them in a wonky format to give the design playful movement. The sketch came from a Pinterest post I loved by Creative Juice by Loni, but I modified it with my stitched dies to add texture and interest, plus I wanted my patterned papers to be more centered and cut them down a bit to approximately 1 5/8 inch x 3 3/4 inch wide.
Design highlights
Forest palette: deep pine greens, warm browns, golden yellow sunlight peeking through the trees and berry red accents for a classic holiday feel.
Toys element: I used the dinosaur playing drums from Dino-mite Birthday Stamp Set, ornament images from the Weinerful Christmas Stamp Set, pine branch from the Rustic Christmas Owl Stamp Set and the sentiment from the Holly Jolly Christmas Stamp Set.
Wonky layout: the tilted stitched panels using 3 different patterned papers from the 6×6 paper pack called WINTER PARADE. plus a slightly askew sentiment strip makes the card feel fun and handmade.
Finishing touches: foam tape to pop up focal images, a dusting of white gel pen “snow,” and crystal 3-d glaze and Stickles for some glitz.
Cut card base out of Kraft card stock. 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.
Cut a white cardstock out if a slightly smaller stitched A2 sized stitched rectangle to allow some kraft color base to perk through.
Cut 3 strips of patterned paper from the Christmas Parade Paper Pack at 1 5/8 in x 4 or use a size smaller A2 layering rectangle to add stitches on the edge of slightly smaller stitched panel; adhere each panel a little wonky/askew. See photo.
Stamp the dinosaur playing drums image towards the bottom of a white piece if cardstock measuring 1 3/4 2 in x 3 3/4 in. Color with your favorite medium. I used Olo and Copic together, with some white pencil.
Stamp pine branch on top and select 3 small ornaments and stamp haphazardly under the branch, connecting each ornament to the tree using a straight edge and a black fine liner pen.
Adhere the stamped panel to a piece of kraft cardstock 2×4 inches. using dry adhesive mini tape runner. I used the Tape Runner MINI.
Adhere all pieces except the stamped and colored matted panel using the Tape Runner Mini from http://www.TapeRunner.com. For 10% off use code: KELLY10
Add sentiment, Stickles, crystal effects glaze and white gel pen snow; this allows you to tuck a sparkly accent or two.
Add the stamped panel with double-sided foam tape for added dimension.
I used a dirty ink-blending brush with some leftover Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink from Ranger. It took a little of the brightness out of the stark white panels to give a rustic or dreamy feel. You can simply add a small amount of the ink to a clean brush snd ink blend off most onto a piece of scrap paper and THEN to your project. It’s very subtle.
If you liked this, try the same sketch with different color combos or swap the images for other critters, toys or ornaments. Thanks for stopping by — and if you shop Pajama Crafter Stamps, I’d appreciate you using my affiliate link above!

🎉✨ Meet my latest handmade card featuring a mischievous kitty on a mission to whack those Christmas ornaments! 🎄😸 Using the HIGH FIVE and RUSTIC CHRISTMAS OWL stamp sets, I created a scene that’s all about festive fun! Plus, an ACTION WOBBLER adds a playful touch to this naughty kitty.
Who else has a cat that loves to stir up holiday mischief? Share your stories below! 😻👇 #HandmadeCards #CatMischief #HolidayFun
Hello, fellow crafters! Today, I want to share a delightful project that combines two of my favorite Pajama Crafter Stamp’s stamp sets: Rustic Christmas Owl and High Five. 🦉🐱
Here is a photo using the images from RUSTIC CHRISTMAS OWL set:
I recently whipped up a fun card featuring the evergreen branch from the Rustic set, paired with the playful mouse and fish smaller images as “ornaments” and one of the mischievous cats from the High Five set. The stars are also from the HIGH FIVE set and really pop off the page! The best part? The process of mixing and matching these stamp sets to create something entirely unique!
Step by Step Breakdown
Choosing the Base: I started with a lovely card base in BLACK, setting the perfect tone for a non-traditional Christmas-themed creation.
Stamping the Cat: I stamped the adorable cat, coloring it up with my Copic markers, ensuring to capture all the little details that make it so charming. It sets the stage for a warm holiday vibe!
Ornament Fun: Next, I added the ornaments from the High Five set, hanging them playfully from the limb I stamped onto a piece of Alcohol Marker Friendly paper using a stitched oval die. I used my Copic markers to color the branch and ornaments. I then used Diamond Stickles to add extra sparkle. Their vibrant colors really pop against the background!
Making the Mischievous Cat Wiggle: No card is complete without a hint of mischief! After stamping and coloring the cheeky cat from the HIGH FIVE set, I attached an ACTION WOBBLER on the back of the cat in the middle of the back-side of the cat cutout and adhered it as if it’s ready to pounce on those ornaments. It adds a whimsical touch that’s sure to bring a smile.
Finishing Touches: I added some stamped stars using a Distress Oxide ink pad in WALNUT STAIN and colored up in yellow and added white gel pen for shine.
Why Mixing Sets is So Much Fun
One of the joys of crafting is the ability to personalize every little detail. When you mix and match different stamp sets, you’re not only saving time, but you’re also sparking creativity in ways you might never have imagined!
I love how the Rustic Christmas Owl branch turns this non-Christmas set called HIGH FIVE, into a warm and light-hearted holiday-themed card with a classic feel, while the playful elements of the High Five set give it a modern twist. It’s like creating a whole new story on each card, filled with charm and cheer!
