Scrappy Boy Stamps: All I Want for Christmas is You!

I am so loving Scrappy Boy's October release of the Naughty List Christmas stamps that I had to make another card. This time I made a slimline card that features two of the naughty elves, the naughty reindeer, the naughty gingerbread man, the stocking, coal, and naughty list. I just had to make a naughty, but humorous card for one of my friends. In addition, I just love the October release of the Cute Girls Merry and Bright stamp set so I made an A2 card with one of the stamps. Both cards I made uses his month's new paper packs. It just makes it fun and easy to make cards with the patterned papers!

Stamp Anniething: Head Swapping Made Easy!

Today I am sharing an easy head swapping tutorial using two Stamp Anniething stamps. For my cards, I am using Liang-Checkmate and Zac-You're on Par and swapping their heads! A friend requested a golfing card using a boy of Asian descent, so after thinking about it, I thought swapping heads was the answer! I've created a tutorial on how you can make these cards too!

Head Swapping Tutorial:

• Stamp both stamps on your favorite cardstock

• Use the coordinating outline dies to cut our your stamped images. If you don't have the dies, you can fussy cut them.

• Carefully cut the heads off right under their chins. Trim off some of the cardstock under the chin.

• Use cello tape on the back of the images to connect the heads.

• Color the images

Copic markers used:

White: N4, N3, N1, 0

Gray: N5, N4, N3, N1

Now all you have to do is design and put your card together! Here's how I made my two cards:

Card 1: Zac

Stamp Anniething supplies used:

• Chess Stencil 
• Squiggle Mat die
• Enamel dots

Other supplies used:

• A2 top folding white card base (portrait)
• 4.25"W x 5.5"H white Bristol cardstock
• Distress Inks in broken china and ground espresso
• 3.25"W x 1.25"H white cardstock for the sentiment

Instructions:

• Using the Chess Stencil and the Distress Inks in broken china and ground espresso, create the background of the card directly onto the white card base.
• Using the Squiggle Mat die, cut a hole approximately 1/4" from the top and sides of the Bristol cardstock. You can angle the die however you like. Save the cut out piece for the next card.
• Using a blending brush, apply the ground espresso distress ink all over the Bristol cardstock. Then apply the broken china distress ink in just a few spots on the cardstock.
• Add some texture by sprinkling some water with a clean brush then dabbing off the excess with a clean paper towel.
• Adhere the inked panel on top of the card base with your favorite adhesive.
• Stamp your sentiment (I used a sentiment from a different stamp. Use can use any sentiment you wish) onto the white cardstock. Ink the edges with the distress ink in broken china. 
• To finish the card, add the enamel dots.

Card 2: Liang

Stamp Anniething supplies used:

• Squiggle Mat die (use the piece that was cut out for the previous card)
• Grass stencil
• Clouds stencil
• Card Mat dies
• Farm Life Paper Pack
• I used the blue, yellow, green plaid pattern paper & the denim-look paper
• Enamel dots

Other supplies used:

• A2 top folding white card base (portrait)
• Distress Ink in blueprint sketch & mowed lawn
• Corner punch (optional)

Instructions:

• Using the Grass stencil and the Distress Ink in mowed lawn, create the grass on the Squiggle Mat die cut.
• Using the Clouds stencil and the Distress Ink in blueprint sketch, create the clouds.
• Add some texture by sprinkling some water with a clean brush then dabbing off the excess with a clean paper towel.
• Using a stamping block or stamp positioner, stamp the sentiment.
• Using the A2 card mat die, cut the plaid patterned paper and adhere to the card base
• Using the reverse side of the left over plaid patterned paper, cut a piece 1/5"W x 4.25"H and use a corner rounder punch to cut off the corners (this is optional). Adhere onto the plaid paper.
• Using smaller rectangle card mat die, cu the denim-look paper and adhere to the center of the card. 
• Adhere the Squiggle Mat die cut on top of the denim-look paper
• Adhere Liang on the card using double-sided adhesive foam tpae
• To finish the card, add a few enamel dots.

I hope you give this head swapping technique a try! Fun and easy to do!

It's Scrappy Boy Stamps SNEAK PEEK time! This month we have not one, not two, but three amazing holiday sets!! 1) Naughty List, 2) Nice List, and 3) Cute Girls Merry & Bright. There are also a fun Christmas Presents Layered Stencil, a Merry & Bright Ornaments Layered Stencil, and two beautiful paper packs, Vintage Christmas and Merry & Bright. I have created three cards using stamps from each of these sets. All new releases will be available at the Scrappy Boy Stamps webstore on Friday, October 21, 2022.

Card 1: Be Naughty

I created an A2 gate fold card with a latch so that the card closes and lays flat. On the front of the card is a sexy dancing elf. When the doors open, naughty Santa is on the stage flexing his muscles! A fun and humorous card! 

I used an older stencil called Burlesque Stage Stencil and distress oxide to create the stage for Santa.

Paper Nest Dolls: Have a Haunted Halloween

Have you ever visited a haunted house? When I was in high school, my friends and I went to a Halloween haunted house and it was so scary! It was the last time I went to one. I don't like being scared and this is also the reason I avoid horror movies! However, I don't mind cute scary things, like this adorable "Frankie" stamp from Paper Nest Dolls. This stamp comes in red rubber and in digital formats.

Supplies used:

• Frankie digital stamp
• Perfect Pearls in Mint, Perfect Pearl, and Perfect Gold

White: N3, N1, 0

For the background, I mixed Perfect Pearls with water to create some glitter watercolors and painted the sky and moon on black Bristol paper. I wanted to create an eerie, scary feeling for a haunted Halloween card. I added the graveyard gate to the scene. 

I hope you give this card a try! It's a cute and fun card to make. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a Happy Halloween!
