Scrappy Boy Stamps: Fabulous July 2024 New Release!

I'm back to share three projects from Scrappy Boy Stamps' July 2024 new release! Last week I shared the sneak peeks of several of the new release products and today I'm sharing a few more. Please check out my previous post for the complete list of the July release.  Please scroll down to see all three projects. 

Project 1: Summer Fling - I want to dance with you for the rest of my life


I created this slimline card using the newly released stamp from Summer Fling, the Summer Fling Paper Pack, and the Vintage Car Die. The Vintage Car Die is so fun to put together. This turquoise car looks like the car my dad had when I was little. So fun!


Scrappy Boy Stamps products used:
  • Summer Fling 6x8 Stamp & Dies
  • Summer Fling 6x6 & 4x9 paper packs
  • Vintage Car Die
  • Scalloped Edge Dies
  • Stitched Circle Dies
Supplies used:
  • White slimline card base
  • Black Bristol paper for ink splattering
  • Acrylic paints in White, Red, Turquoise
  • For the cars: Red, turquoise, black, white, and silver glitter cardstock


Copic markers used:

Man
  • Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00
  • Cheeks: E93
  • Clothes: C7, C5, C3
To create the circles with the ink splatter, first cut out three circles using a 2.5" circle die. Using the black Bristol paper, I splattered acrylic paints liberally onto the circle. Let them dry completely.

I used the 6x6 paper pad and pieced two of them together and used the Stitched Scallop Die to cut it into a slimline shape. I used the 2.5" circle dies to cut 3 holes into this paper to inlay the paint splattered circles. 

After assembling the Vintage car dies, I adhered them, the colored image, and the sentiment using double sided foam tape.



Project 2: Goldilocks and the Three Bears - Happy Birthday

If you haven't tried making cards with Scrappy Boy Stamps papers, it's time to try it! The papers in the Goldilocks and the Three Bears are so so cute and they coordinate so well with the stamps. Add it the background or use them on it's own for a quick an easy card!

Project 4: A2 Cover Plate - Mouse Ears and Hearts

Scrappy Boy Stamps has release it's first two cover plates. Cover plates are A2 sized so they make card making easy. After cutting out the front panel with the cover plate, you can decorate it or just add a sentiment. The possibilities are endless! I added a mouse head and ribbon.

Scrappy Boy Stamps products used:
  • A2 Cover Plate - Mouse Ears and Hearts
  • Stitched Circle Dies (to create mouse head, I used 2" and 1-1/8" dies)
Supplies used:
  • A2 white card base
  • Black cardstock for cover plate and scrap for mouse head
  • Red cardstock scrap for mouse head
  • Yellow cardstock for buttons on mouse head
  • Small hole punch
  • White Bristol or watercolor cardstock 4.5" x 7"
  • Distress inks in Mustard Seed, Squeezed lemonade, Candied apple, Barn door
  • Black ribbon

For this card, I cut a piece of black cardstock using the cover plate. Save those die cut mouse ears and hearts for a future project. 

To create the background, I used Distress Inks and ink smooshed Bristol cardstock. I trimmed it to fit behind the cover plate cutout. Trim the remaining piece to fit the front of the card.

To create the mouse head, I used a 2" and 1-1/8" stitched circle dies to create the head and ears. To create the red "shorts" I used the 1-1/8" circle die and then cut it in half. For the buttons, I used a small hole punch. 

To secure the bow, I place it in between the card base and the Bristol cardstock. Adhere everything in place with liquid glue.

Project 5: A2 Cover Plate - Gloves and Hearts

Just like Project 4 above, this is a quick and easy card. Even quicker since the mouse head is an actual die and I used glitter cardstock behind the cover plate cutout.


Scrappy Boy Stamps products used:
  • A2 Cover Plate - Gloves and Hearts
  • Gift Card Add On (Mouse head only)
  • Corset Mini Album Die (Bow only)
Supplies used:
  • A2 white card base
  • Black cardstock mat
  • Bright pink glitter cardstock 
  • Pink cardstock (for the bow)
  • Black Ribbon
This card is so simple to put together. Die cut everything and adhere as shown. Add the ribbon to finish the card.
