Paper Nest Dolls: Yabba Dabba Doo! Happy Father's Day to You!

Paper Nest Dolls released the cutest prehistoric family stamp set called Stone Age Family that was inspired by one of my favorite childhood cartoons! This set comes with eight adorable stamps and it comes in both digital and red rubber stamps. It's time to start making some Father's Day cards and this stamp set is perfect for them. So fun to create cards, scrapbook pages, decorations, and more! 



I made this large slimline card that I can showcase several of the stamps with a cute, but simple scene. This slimline card measures 4"W x 9"H. I printed the stamps in the following sizes:
  • House: 2-1/2"H
  • Dinosaur: 2-3/4"H
  • Girl: 2-1/2"H
  • Boy: 2-1/2"H
After printing the stamps, I colored them with Copic markers then fussy cute them out.

Copic markers used:
House: W6, W4, W3, W2, W1
Window: T3
Door: B97, B95, B93, B91
Plants: G99, G94, YG63

The background is created by using stencils. I used a cloud stencil from Stamp Anniething and Distress Oxide in in Tumbled Glass to create the sky. I masked off the walkway and used Distress Ink in Pumice Stone to create the dirt. I used a cobblestone stencil from Stamp Anniething and the Pumice Stone ink to create the walkway. 

I used a Wonky Stitched Slimline Die from Scrappy Boy Stamps to cut out the card front. I created the sentiment on my computer, printed it, trimmed it, then added a black cardstock mat and adhered it to the card. To finish the card, I adhered the card front onto the slimline card base. 


These stamps are so fun to color! I hope you give this card a try! Thank you for visiting today and I hope you have a wonderful and creative day!

Scrappy Boy Stamps: Reach for the Stars! and My Blood Type is COFFEE

I hope everyone is enjoying the Memorial Day weekend! Here in the United States, we are honoring and mourning the military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It's a day that I honor my late Grandpa who served in the Navy during WWII and my Uncle who served in the Army during the Vietnam War.

Today I am sharing two cards from Scrappy Boy Stamps' May new releases. These stamp sets have been so fun to play with! I just love them! The first one I made are stamps from the Hello Friends set and the second one are stamps from the Cute Girls - Coffee set. 



Card 1: Reach for the Stars!


I first stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers, then cut them out with the coordinating outline dies.

Copic markers used:
Penguin Girl:
Skin: RV42, E11, E21, E00
Cheeks: RV42
Mouth: RV42, R22, R20
Hair: E79, E74, E71
Yellow: Y38, Y35, Y32
Blue: B97, B95, B93, B91
Red: R29, R24, R22


The background is created by using the Hello Everyone stencil and inking it with Oxide Ink in Stormy Sky. I masked off the top and bottom of the card to avoid stenciling those areas. I used a blending brush to add a little ink onto to the top and bottom of the card. I then matted it with black cardstock and adhered it to a top-folding A2 white card base.


I adhered the stars on the top left corner with double-sided adhesive foam tape and the penguin girl stamp to the bottom right corner. I then stamped the sentiment, trimmed it, and added the black cardstock mat and the card was finished! 

Card 2: My Blood Type is COFFEE


I first stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers, then cut them out with the coordinating outline dies. Just to note that there are also a stencil and a paper pack available called I Love Coffee available, however, it was not available at the time I made this card.

Copic markers used:
Skin: RV34, E11, E21, E00
Cheeks: RV34
Hair: E59, E57, E55
Blue: B16, B14, B12
Brown: E29, E25, E23
White: T3, T1, 0
Pink: RV17, RV14, RV13


I printed the coffee patterned digital paper I got from Freepik then used the Scrappy Boy Scalloped Edge Die to cut it out. I adhered this to a top folding A2 white card base. I used an stitched oval die to cut out a piece of white cardstock, then inked it with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo to put behind the Coffee Girl. 

I then stamped the sentiment, trimmed it, and added it to the card front and the card was finished! 

I hope you give these two cute and simple cards a try! Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day!

I made this mini album using papers from the 6x6 Hello Everyone paper pack. To create the base of this album, I followed the tutorial by Youtuber Pinkstrawberryz. Here is the link to her tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS0Y9Ji7Nfo

I used the Hello Everyone stencil to create the cat head on the cover. I inked the cat head onto white cardstock using Distress Oxide in Spun Sugar. Then I used the stencil with patterns and inked it with Distress Oxide in Picked Raspberry. I then fussy cut this out and fussy cut a black card mat. I then used the bow stencil and inked it with Picked Raspberry and the center of the bow is Black Soot.

I used Scrappy Boy Stamps' Stitched Scalloped Edge Dies to make the inserts. I used tag dies from my stash for all the tags. For the tags, I added eyelets and ribbons and twine for decoration. Each page is decorated using stamps from Scrappy Boy's new release. 

I added an eyelet to the front and back covers so that a ribbon can be tied to close and secure the contents of the album.


PROJECT 2: Cute Girls - Coffee Card

I first stamped all the images, colored them with Copic markers, then cut them out using the coordinated outline die.

Purple: V17, V15, V12

White: T5, T3, T1, 0
Red: R29, R24, R22


I printed the coffee patterned digital paper I got from Freepik then used the Scrappy Boy Scalloped Edge Die to cut it out. I adhered this to a side folding A2 white card base. I used a 3" circle die to cut out a piece of silver cardstock to put behind the Coffee Girl. I adhered her with double-sided adhesive foam tape. 

To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment and trimmed it to fit the black mat I cut out using one of the Scalloped Edge Dies. 


Both of these projects were so fun to make. I hope you give them a try! Thank you for visiting today and have a crafty and creative week!

I used the largest Scrappy Boy Stamps Wonky Stitched Slimline Die and a sheet of patterned paper from the Hello Everyone Slimline Paper Pad to create the layer on top of the card base. I used a square die from the Slimline Window Trio Die from Waffle Flower to cut out three windows. I cut the middle one diamond shaped. With the inside of the window cut out, I flipped the two-sided paper and inserted that into the window for contrast. 

I adhered the dog, flowers, and bear with liquid glue and the 3 characters using double-sided adhesive foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it to size, and added a black cardstock mat and adhered it with liquid glue and this card was finished.

To create the coffee stained background, I did the ink smooshing technique using Distress Inks in Vintage Photo, Antique Linen, and Ground Espresso. I matted this layer onto brown textured cardstock, then adhered it to a side-folding landscape A2 card base.

I used a coffee die I got from KS Craft to create a matching giant coffee cup as an embellishment. I cute out matching hearts to add to both cups. I printed a coffee bean digital paper I got from Freepik then cut it using one of the Scrappy Boy Scalloped Dies to add as a layer. 


To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it to size, and added a brown cardstock mat. Everything is adhered flat to the card front using liquid glue, except for the Coffee Girl where I used double-sided foam adhesive. 

I hope you enjoyed this month's sneak peek. There are a lot more projects the creative design team will be sharing in the coming weeks!

Stamp Anniething: You're Iconic

It's my Design Team Day at Stamp Anniething where I use a stamp from a prior release. Today I am using the Marilyn Monroe-inspired stamp called Norma Jean - You're Iconic.  Did you know Marilyn Monroe's real name is Norma Jean? This stamp comes with a coordinating outline die, but I don't have it so I fussy cut her out. I also used one of the flower stamps from the set called Cherise - You Overwhlem Me to create this A2 card.

I first stamped all the images, colored them with Copic markers, then fussy cut them out. 

Copic Markers Used:
Skin: E04, E11, E00, E50
Cheeks: E93
Tongue: R22, R20
Hair: E59, E57, E55, E53
Purple: V17, V15, V12
Black: C7, C5, C3
Flowers: V06, V12


To create the background, I used the Roses Stencil and inked it with Distress Oxide ink in Dusy Concord. I kept the outside edge light to create a faded look. I used the Scalloped Mat Die to cut out this panel.  I cut out the Open Mat Circle Die from white cardstock and adhered it over the stenciled roses. I added the flowers over the circle die. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the stenciled background. I adhered Norma Jean using double-sided adhesive foam tape.


I used the large rectangular Card Mat Die to cut out the purple cardstock mat and adhered it to a top folding white card base. I then adhered the card front onto the purple cardstock.

To finish the card, I used a Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen to add a glittery sparkle to her dress, shoes, and flowers. I added Stickles to the centers of the flowers to give it some more sparkle. 
Such a fun and cute card to make. I hope you give this card a try! Thank you for visiting and have a creative day!

Paper Nest Dolls: Have a ROARING Good Time on Your Birthday!

I am so loving the Paper Nest Dolls release called the Decade Dolls Collection. Previously, I made projects with Hippie Ellie and Disco Amara. Today, I am sharing a card I made with Flapper Girl Emma. It's hard to chose a favorite, since I love them all, but I really had fun coloring and making this glitzy card. She just makes the perfect birthday card, but of course, you can change the sentiment for another occasion. These stamps come in digital and in red rubber. I used the digital version so that I can make the stamp the size I needed.



To make this A2 size card, I printed the stamp 3-3/4" tall, colored it with Copic markers, then fussy cut her out. 

Copic markers used:
Skin: E04, E11, E00, E50
Hair: E59, E57, E55, E53
Cheeks: E93
Red: R39, R37, R35, R32



I used a white gel pen to create the sparkles and a silver gel pen to create the swirl on her headband.

The back panel is created using a stencil from a pack I got from Amazon and white pigment ink from Stampin' Up. I used a blending brush to ink this stencil onto black cardstock.



To create the silver stenciled background, I used a stencil from the pack I got from Amazon and Ranger Transparent Gloss Texture Paste with silver glitter mixed in. I cut the corners of this panel using a Corner Edger Die from Stamp Anniething then adhered it to the back panel.

I cut out three feathers from red glitter cardstock using Leaf Dies from Stamp Anniething. I created the sentiment on my computer, printed it, trimmed it to size, and added a black cardstock mat. I adhered the feathers under the sentiment. I adhered Flapper Girl Emma using double-sided adhesive foam tape. 
I adhered this card front on a top folding A2 white card base. To finish the card, I added a few sparkly rhinestones I had in my stash. 

Such a fun card to make! I hope you give this one a try! 



Thank you for stopping by today. Have a creative day!

Conie Fong Art & Design: Thoughts of You Make me Smile

Daisies are one of the most popular flowers. Did you know certain colors have certain meanings? Red is for love and romance, yellow is for happiness and joy, pink is for adoration and admiration, and orange is for joy and sunshine. Since I love the colors of pink and yellow together, I colored the daisies in this Conie Fong Art & Design digital stamp called Daisy Bunny Bouquet in those colors. This adorable stamp can be used for many occasions. All you need to do is change the sentiment. This is a must stamp to have for your stash!

Conie Fong Art & Design is having a Mother's Day Sale and everything in the store is 25% off. Great time to stock up! Sale ends May 13, 2022. No code is needed.



To make this A2 card, I first printed the stamp and sentiment and colored it with Copic markers. 

Copic markers used:
-Bunny
Dark Fur: W6, W4, W2, W1
Light Fur: W3, W1, W0, 0
Inner Ear & Nose: R85, R83, R81

Yellow: Y38, Y35, Y32
Brown: YR27, YR23, E23

After coloring the stamp, I used a scalloped die from Scrappy Boy Stamps to cut out the front panel of the card, which included the sentiment. I matted it with striped patterned paper from the Echo Park - Bontanical Garden Paper Pad. I then adhered it to a top folding A2 white card base. 


To finish the card, I added a few enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs. 


I hope you give this card a try! Easy and fun to color. Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful and creative day!

Scrappy Boy Stamps: MemoryDex Card - Mermazing!

I am a newbie when it comes to creating MemoryDex cards. It's smaller than an A2 card and they typically measure 4" wide by 3-1/2" to 4" tall. So when designing a MemoryDex card, I have to think small. I don't want it to look too cluttered and when it spins on the MemoryDex holder, items must be adhered so they don't fall off. Scrappy Boy Stamps has the perfect size stamps for MemoryDex cards. I used the previously released stamp set (released December 2021) called Mermazing. It is one of my favorite releases and am glad to have the chance to make another project with it!


I first stamped the mermaid onto white cardstock, colored it with Copic markers, the cut it out using the coordinating outline die.

Copic markers used:
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000
Cheeks: R20
Hair: E18, E08, YR18, YR14,
Turquoise: BG49, BG45, BG01
Green: YG17, YG06, YG03


I stamped the seashell and starfish onto purple and turquoise glitter paper and cut them out with the coordinating outline dies. These make really cute embellishments. 

I stamped the sentiment on blue cardstock with VersaMark embossing ink and used white embossing power to create the sentiment. I trimmed it with a paper trimmer.
I used a MemoryDex die and cut it out using patterned paper from the Under the Sea paper pad.

I assembled all the pieces and adhered everything down with liquid glue except for the mermaid, where I used double-sided adhesive foam tape and the card was completed. So fun, fast, and easy to make! 
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you give this Memory Dex card a try! Have a wonderful and creative day!

Stamp Anniething Sneak Peek Day 3: Daisy - You Look Spiffy

Welcome to Day 3 of Stamp Anniething's sneak peeks! I just love this beautiful  stamp inspired by the Roaring 20's called Daisy - You Look Spiffy.  She's walking down the glitzy grand staircase and entering into the grand ballroom ready to go dancing! I used the new Grand Staircase Die and the Deco Fan Stencil to create this scene. 

All new release products are now available in the Stamp Anniething web store. 

To make this 6x6 card, I first stamped the image, colored it with Copic markers, then cut it out using the coordinated outline die. 

Copic markers used:
Skin: E59, E57, E15, E33, E31
Cheeks: RV34
Tongue: RV34, RV32
Hair: 100, C7, C5, C3
Red: R39, R37, R35, R32
Black: 100, C9, C7, C5, C3
White gel pen to add sparkle to the dress



To create the background, I first stenciled a piece of 5"x5" white cardstock using the Deco Fan Stencil and Hybrid Inks in Obsidian and Crimson. I then cut out the hand rails of the grand staircase out of silver glitter cardstock from the Awakening Glitter Pack. I cut thin 1/8" strips of silver glitter cardstock for the steps. I then cut out the steps of the grand staircase of the white cardstock. I adhered the silver hand rails and steps onto the steps and adhered it onto the stenciled background. I then matted this with white cardstock leaving a 1/8" edge. I then matted it with black cardstock leaving a 3/8" edge to make it look like a frame. 


For the sentiment, I stamped it on black cardstock using the Stamp Anniething Watermark Stamp Pad and heat embossed it using Embossing Powder in Porcelain. 


I hope you love this new release as much as I do! So many uses for these stamps, dies, and stencil. Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day!
