Scrappy Boy Stamps Sneak Peeks: Little Buddy & Three Hour Tour

Today's Scrappy Boy Stamps sneak peeks are stamps and dies that are inspired by America's favorite TV show based on seven castaways that were shipwrecked on an island. This card features stamps from both the Little Buddy set and the Three Hour Tour set. Each set comes with four characters, plus images to create scenes, and a host of sentiments for cards and scrapbooking. 


I made a belated birthday box card featuring the ship's skipper and his first mate. I added the shipwrecked boat, palm tree, life preserver, and the boat's wheel to create the island scene. 
In addition, I used the Island Scene Builder stencil to create the background.

I colored all the images with Copic markers:

Cheeks: E93
Hair: T5, T3, T1
Shirt (Blue): B26, B24, B23, B21

Scrappy Boy Sneak Peeks: Cute Girls Dating

It's difficult to find a stamp set that you can use for Valentine's Day, romance, anniversary, engagement, or dating. Scrappy Boy Stamps is releasing a stamp set that can fulfill all of this! This stamp set features the Cute Girls and it's called Cute Girls Dating. This stamp set has 5 couples images, 2 hearts, and 6 sentiments; perfect for making cards, journaling, and scrapbooking.


My card also features the coordinating paper pack called I Love Love. I added a small heart shaker on the card I made with a Lawn Fawn shaker die set. I used the sentiment "True love stories never have endings" so that I can use this as a Valentine's Day card.

Just add a birthday sentiment on your card.

  • Sentiment is from Holidayville Grab and Go Box (retired)

I then stamped the sentiment that I got from the Holidayville Grab and Go Box. I added a lavender cardstock mat to the card. To finish the card, I added a few Jelly Dots.

Stamp Anniething: Scrumdiddlyumptious Grab & Go Box - Final Two Cards

Stamp Anniething released the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory-inspired Scrumdiddlyumptious Grab and Go Box this fall during their Fall Retreat. Shortly after the retreat, Stamp Anniething offered this Grab & Go Box on a pre-order basis. I am sharing a series of eight mini-slimline cards this week that I made using the products from this Grab & Go Box. On November 30, I shared the first three cards, then on December 3, I shared three more, and today I will share the final two cards.

Although this Grab & Go is no longer available, there are others still available that you can make using these layouts and techniques! 


The first card features Veruca Salt and papers from the paper pack. The second card features Mike Teavee, the everlasting gobstopper stamp, papers from the paper pack, and one of the circle dies.

These mini-slimline cards are so easy to make! All you have to do is score the 6x6 paper at 3" and fold it in half! I added a piece of white bond paper to the inside right panel for space to write a message. All you need to do is decorate the front panel. I used dies, and papers from the Grab & Go Box. The only die that I used that's not in the box is the Banner Dies. 

Listed below are the Copic markers I used for each card:


Veruca Salt:
Skin: E15, E13, E11, E21, E00
Eyes: B04, B02, B01

Scrappy Boy Stamps: Cute Girls Crafting - Merry Christmas

I've been going through my stamps to find ones that are not originally made to be a Christmas stamp and using them for my Christmas cards. Just like the one I used today from the Cute Girls Crafting stamp set by Scrappy Boy Stamps. I hand drew a couple of Christmas sweaters to add to the card to make it look like she is knitting the sweaters! Then I used the Merry and Bright paper pack to even make it look more like a Christmas card. So fun to do!!


Scrappy Boy Stamps products used:
  • Cute Girls Crafting stamp and die
  • Cute Girls Merry and Bright paper pack
  • Stitched Rectangle Dies
  • Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die
  • Sentiment from Nice List stamp set

I colored the stamp and hand drawn sweaters using Copic markers.

Copic Markers used:
Skin: E99, E34, E33, E53, E50
Cheeks: R81
Hair: E29, E37, E35, E31
Red: R24, R14, R22, R21
Green: YG17, YG13, YG03, YG01
Blue: B95, B93, B91

Sweater 1

Blue: B95, B93, B91

Sweater 2
Red: R24, R14, R22, R21

This is an A2 top-folding card. Very simple to make using the Merry and Bright paper pack. 

Thank you for visiting today. I hope you use some of your non-holiday Scrappy Boy Stamps for your holiday cards! 


Have a wonderful day and a creative week!
