Scrappy Boy Stamps: More May Release Projects!

This month's pirate-themed and summer-themed releases are so much fun to play with! Not only am I loving the stamps and dies, but I love the stencils and patterned papers! If you all haven't noticed by now, I really love using stencils and patterned papers for most of my projects! They add so much to a card and creates easy and beautiful backgrounds. Today I am sharing an A2 card using Shiver Me Timbers and A Pirate's Life and a tall Memory Dex card using Cute Girls Summer. Check out the entire release: Scrappy Boy Stamps webstore.

Project 1: You are my Treasure!

This card uses stamps from both the Shiver Me Timbers and A Pirate's Life sets. 

I first stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers, then cut them out with the coordinating outline dies. I used the following Copic marker colors:

Pirate

Skin: BG99, BG96, BG93, BG90

Yellow: Y17, Y35, Y02

Brown: E49, E47, E44, E43

Red: R29, R22

Brown: E79, E77, E74, E71

Rum Bottles

Brown: E79, E74, E71

I used the A Pirate's Life stencil to create the treasure map. I used Distress Inks in Tea Dye, Fired Brick, Peeled Paint, and Black Soot. 

I used patterned papers from the Pirates paper pack to create the layers. I used the Stitched Rectangle Die to cut out the patterned paper to mat the card. I used the one of the small Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut out the sentiment. 

I adhered all the papers and stamps with liquid glue except for the pirate and dog, where I used double-sided adhesive foam tape.

Such a fun card to put together!

Project 2: When Life Turns up the Heat... Get a Fan! Memory Dex Card

If you haven't had a chance to play with the Memory Dex Dies, you are missing out on all the fun! Scrappy Boy Stamps has many different Memory Dex Dies of various shapes and sizes. The one I am using is the Tall Memory Dex Die. It's is about double the size of the average Memory Dex Die to give more space to be creative!

I used the stamps and patterned papers from Cute Girls summer to create the adorable Memory Dex Card. 

I first stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers, then cut them out with the coordinating outline dies. I used the following Copic marker colors:

Cute Girl & Fan

Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000

Cheeks: E93

Tongue: R22, R20

Hair: E17, E08, YR18, YR14, Y13

Light Blue: B00

Sun

Yellow: Y20, Y13, Y11, Y00

Tongue: R22, R20

Cheeks: R20, R000

I used the Tall Memory Dex die to cut the card out using paper from the Cute Girls Summer Paper Pack. I cut out two strips of patterned paper to ground the fan and Cute Girl and adhered it with liquid glue. 

I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered it with liquid glue. I adhered all the colored stamps with double-sided adhesive foam tape. To finish the card, I added some foam confetti dots from Stamp Anniething.

A quick, easy, and cute Memory Dex die to add to my collection. I hope you give this one a try!

Thank you for visiting and have a creative day!

Coordinating with these stamp sets are a Pirate Ship Die Set, a the Pirate's Life Stencil, the Pirates Paper Pack, and coordinating outline dies.

I have three projects to share using the new release. The entire release will be available in the Scrappy Boy Stamps webstore on Friday, May 19, 2023.

Project 1: ARRRR...Another Birthday

This A2 card was created with the stamps and sentiment from both the A Pirate's Life and Shiver Me Timbers stamp sets and the Pirate Ship Die Set. The card background was created using the Distress Ink smooshing technique. 

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic markers in the following colors:

Pirate

Skin: BV23, E15, E13, E11

Cheeks: R83, R81

Hair: E29, E25, E21

Red: R29, R24, R22, R20

Silver: N7, N3, N1

Brown: E25, E23, E21

Dark Gray: W7, W5, W3, W1

White: N3, N1, 0

Black: C9, C7, C5, C3

Skull & Swords

Silver: C5, C3, C1

Brown: E79, E74, E71

Rum Bottle

Brown: E79, E74, E71

To create the AWESOME pirate ship, I first swiped my Vintage Photo Distress Ink cube onto 3x6 chipboard and cut out the body and masts of the ship. I then swiped Tea Dye Distress Ink onto a piece of scrap chipboard and cut out the railing and window frames of the ship. I cut the sails out of white cardstock and inked the edges with Hickory Smoke. I also inked the anchor in Hickory Smoke. I cut out the windows again out of cardstock I colored with Copic Y04 and inserted the windows into the frames. The left over chipboard are hand cut into rocks for the pirate to stand on. 

To create the background and the waves, I used Distress Inks in Faded Jeans, Mermaid Lagoon, and Blueprint Sketch and did the smooshing technique on a piece of 6x8 Bristol cardstock. If you are not familiar with smooshing, I have instructions on a previous blog post here: Smooshing. After smooshing, I used the waves dies to cut the waves and then the rest was trimmed for the background.

I adhered all the pieces to the card front using liquid glue, except for the pirate, skull, and sentiment where I used double-sided adhesive foam tape.

Project 2: Sending you Sunshine

This bright and beautiful A2 card was created using two of the stamps and patterned papers from Cute Girls Summer and the flowers were hand cut from the Three Hour Tour paper pack. A fun and happy card for any occasion!

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic markers in the following colors:

Cute Girl

Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00

Cheeks: R20

Hair: E33, E35, E31

Red (Flamingo): R08, R05, R21, R02

Black: 100, C7, C5

White: C3, C1, 0

Green: YG17, Y03

Blue-green (Water): BG49, BG34, BG32, BG10

Sun

Yellow: Y20, Y13, Y11, Y00

Pink (Tongue): R22, R20

Pink (Cheeks): R20, R000

To create the swimming pool, I used a pool die and stencil from Sonoran Desert Crafts from their Pool Party set. I used Distress Ink in Salvaged Patina and stenciled blue-green cardstock to match the background patterned paper. I cut out the hibiscus flowers from the Three Hour Tour paper pack. So easy to create your own die cuts! 

I used the Stitched Rectangular Dies to cut out a hot pink cardstock mat and then used the smaller nesting die to cut out the background. I adhered all the pieces using liquid glue except for the Cute Girl and Sun images, where I used double-sided adhesive foam tape. I finished the card with a few enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs.

Project 3: Treat Boxes

I created two boxes using the new Treat Box Die, paper packs, and stamps from the new releases that can be used for sweet treats or little gifts. The die comes with two word dies, Hugs and Sweet. 

I stamped the images and colored them with Copic markers in the following colors:

Mermaid (A Pirate's Life)

Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000

Cheeks: R20

Lips: R22, R20

Hair: E29, E25, E23, E21, RV21

Mermaid Tail: BG18, BG13, BG11, RV21

Rocks: W6, W4, W3, W1

Cute Girl

Skin: E33, E11, YR21, E21, E30

Hair: C9, C7, C5, B01

Green: G17, YG17, YG03, YG01

Red: R29, R24, R22, R20

Blue: B97, B95, B93, B91

Yellow: YR23, YR21, YR00

Gray: N3, N1

The die is cut twice and one box can be created using one sheet of 6x6 patterned paper. All the score lines are included and all I needed to do was adhere the sides and bottom together with strong adhesive. I used tear tape (ScorTape) and it held together perfectly. You can use liquid glue as well, but just make sure it's dry before folding the box together. Adhere the stamps onto the box. Decorate the box with patterned papers, bows, and enamel dots! 

Such a fun release of stamps, stencils, and dies this month!! Hope you love this release as much as I do! Wait until you see all the projects from my fellow design team members. They all do such creative and amazing projects!

Today is my design team day for Stamp Anniething where I use an older release to create my project. I chose one of my favorite stamps, Chelsea - Seas the day! This stamp set also includes a small sand dollar stamp. There are coordinating outline dies available for these stamps.

I kept this card simple and added an alcohol inked Yupo paper background.

Scrappy Boy Stamps: Your Wish is my Command Memory Dex Card

Today is my design team day where I share a project using an older stamp. One of my favorite Scrappy Boy Stamp sets is She's a Dream, inspired by everyone's favorite genie! Since I love this stamp set so much, I wanted to make a Memory Dex card to add to my collection. 

Scrappy Box products used:

• She's a Dream stamps and outline dies
• She's a Dream paper pack
• Filmstrip Memory Dex Die
• Envelope Memory Dex Die
• Memory Dex File Folder Die
• Stitched Rectangle Die

I stamped and colored all images using Copic markers in the following colors:

Cheeks: E93

Lips: R22, R20

Hair: E39, YR24, YR23, YR20

Pink: R59, R85, R83, R81

The genie bottle was colored using Arteza glitter gel pens. The genie smoke is colored with Copic markers RV63, RV52, RV00.

I used the many Memory Dex Dies listed above to put this card together. The base of the die is created by cutting two patterned papers using the Memory Dex File Folder Die and adhered them back to back for stability. Then I used the Filmstrip die and cut out black cardstock and patterned paper. The back of the card has a pocket that was created using part of the Envelope Memory Dex die. 

I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock and cut it out with one of the nesting Stitched Rectangle Dies. To finish the card, I added some jelly dots from Stamp Anniething. 

Thank you for visiting! I hope you give the Memory Dex card a try. So fun to make! Have a creative day!
