Scrappy Boy Stamps: More February new release projects!

The February 2024 release is one of my favorite Scrappy Boy Stamps releases! I just had to make one more Hansel and Gretel card, but this time a Memory Dex card. I also made a card using the new Candy House Die. This fun die could be used for so many occasions, such as birthday, Christmas, Easter, etc. just by changing the colors and sentiment. I'll add a sentiment when I'm ready to send it out.

Please scroll down to see both projects.

Stamp Anniething: Easter Card

Easter comes early this year (March 31) so it's time to start making Easter cards! I used the beautiful Cherise - You Overwhelm Me stamp from Stamp Anniething for my Easter card. I didn't use the sentiment from the stamp set, instead I used alphabet dies to create a two tone Easter sentiment. I then added a couple potted plants to complete the scene.

Coffee Loving Cardmakers: Coffee or Cocoa, Whatever Keeps You Grounded

I have had such a fun time creating coffee/hot chocolate/tea-related cards for Coffee Loving Cardmakers! This is my 4th and last post as February's guest designer. I used two digital stamp sets from Super Sponsor Graciellie Design: 1) Coffee & Love and 2) Coffee Lovers Duo Bundle. The bundle includes stamps and a digital paper pack. I used one of the papers for the background of my card.

Products & supplies used:

• Coffee & Love Digital Stamps by Super Sponsor Graciellie Design
• Coffee Lovers Duo Bundle by Super Sponsor Graciellie Design
• Top folding 6x6 white card base
• Brown cardstock mat
• 5/8" pink ribbon

I imported the digital paper, stamps, and sentiment into Microsoft Publisher. I arranged the stamps to make a 6x6 card and then printed it on my laser printer. I colored the stamps with Copic markers.

Copic markers used:

• White: N5, N3, N1, 0
• Brown: E35, E33, E31
• Pink: RV63, RV52, RV10
• Green: B34, YG17, YG03
• Gray (ground): N3, N1

I trimmed the brown cardstock to leave a 1/8" white border around the card. I then trimmed the digital paper to leave a 1/8" brown border. I adhered the layers using liquid glue. To finish the card, I tied a 5/8" pink ribbon on the bottom of the card.

I hope you give this card a try. Digital stamps are fun and easy to use. I like them because you can make them the size you want and can layer them however you like. Give them a try if you haven't already!

Thank you for stopping by! Have a creative day!

Scrappy Boy Stamps: February Sneak Peeks (Part 2)

Welcome to Part 2 of Scrappy Boy Stamps' February 2024 sneak peeks!  This post covers two of the four new dies that will be released on Friday, February 16, 2024. Please see my previous post for the list of new releases and sneak peeks of the three new stamp sets. I will be sharing projects using the Hoodie Shaped Card Die and the Mason Jar Box Die in this post. My fellow design teamie, Tina Jackson Fry, will share her projects using the other two new dies as part of her sneak peeks tomorrow. 

Project 1: Happy Birthday Cards using the Hoodie Shaped Card Die

Products used:

• Hoodie Shaped Card Die
• I Y'am What I Y'am Paper Pack and Colored Die Cuts

Supplies used:

• White cardstock
• Turquoise cardstock
• Gray cardstock
• Red and white twine

Instructions:

• I used the largest Hoodie Shaped Card Die to cut the card base. Put the top edge of the die over the crease of a folded 8.5 x 11 inch paper so that it doesn't cut to create a top folding card base.
• Die cut the remaining pieces of the Hoodie Shaped Card Dies as shown. 
• Adhere the cuffs and pocket. Before adhering the front of the hood, insert a five inch piece of baker's twine or ribbon and tie the ends with knots. 
• Add the pre-colored die cuts. 

A fun and easy card to put together. This die can be used to create your team's favorite hoodie, favorite character, or for school spirit wear! A must die for your collection!

Project 2: Homemade Card using the Mason Jar Box Die

Products used:

• Mason Jar Box Die
• I Love Cooking Paper Pack

Supplies used:

• A6 white card base
• Bristol cardstock for Mason Jar Box Dies
• Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke for the jar lid
• Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers for the jar and ice cubes
• Distress Ink in Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey for the lemonade and lemons
• Copic marker BG13 for the straw and Homemade word die
• Acetate

Instructions:

• I cut all the die pieces out of Bristol cardstock and inked them with Distress Ink, except for the straw and Homemade word die. The straw and word die is colored with Copic marker BG13. 
  
• I assembled and adhered the pieces as shown in the card.
• I cut a piece of acetate using the largest Mason jar die. This acetate will cover all the die cuts so it looks like glass. This piece is attached under the lid using double sided tape and and a dot of clear liquid glue on the bottom. I put a weight on top of this until the glue dried.

A fast and easy card to put together and can be used for any occasion by adding your own sentiment. 

Thank you for visiting today. I hope you enjoyed part two of this month's sneak peeks!
