Scrappy Boy Stamps: More April Release Inspiration!

I've been having so much fun creating with two of this month's Scrappy Boy Stamps new releases called Princess Pin Up Girls and Three Little Pigs. It's fun to pair the Princess Pin Up Girls with the past Corset Die to make today's card. The Three Little Pigs set makes a wonderful congratulatory new home card! Please scroll down to see both projects.

Project 1: Princess Pin Up Girls - Who Needs a Glass Slipper? I'd Rather Have a Glass of Wine!


Scrappy Boy Stamps products used:
  • Princess Pin Up Girls stamps, outline die, and paper pack
  • High Heels Background Stencil
  • Corset Mini Album die
  • Stitched Scalloped Edge Dies
Supplies used:
  • A2 white card base
  • White cardstock
  • Distress Inks in Broken China and Blueprint Sketch for stencil
  • White gel pen


Copic markers used for coloring stamps:
  • Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000
  • Cheeks: E93
  • Lips: R35, R32
  • Hair: E99, E55, E3, YR31
  • Dark Blue: B18, B16, B14, B12
  • Light Blue: B02, B01, B000
To create the Corset, I first inked white cardstock with Distress Ink in Broken China. Then I used the High Heels Background Stencil and inked it in Blueprint Sketch. I used the Corset Die to cut out all the pieces and assembled as shown.

I stamped the sentiment on the inside of the card before I started the front of the card.


I used the Stitched Scalloped Edge Die to cut out the pink patterned mat. The blue patterned strip measures 3-1/2"W x 2-1/4" H and is backed by white cardstock with a 1/8" border on the top and bottom. 



I adhered all the pieces using liquid glue, except for the princess, where I used double-sided foam tape.

Project 2: Three Little Pigs - Congratulations On Your New Home!

For the house, I first stenciled the wall with the Three Little Pigs House Decorator stencils before coloring them with Copic markers (Distress Ink colors in the supply list above). I cut the green patterned paper for the grass and adhered it to the card front. I matted this with Kraft cardstock with a 1/8" border and placed it on top of more patterned paper before adhering it to the card base.

I adhered the house onto the card front using liquid glue and for the pig and wolf, I used double-sided foam tape. 


Such fun and cute cards to make! I hope you give them a try! Thank you for visiting. Have a crafty day!

The card should stand up as shown. Then add the mat and patterned paper.


Adhere the brown cardstock mat onto the card base. Stencil the background using the Miami Parlor Stencil then adhere to the brown cardstock. 

I created the sentiment using Microsoft Word, printed it, trimmed it, and added a brown cardstock mat.

I cut out a circle using patterned paper then adhered this to the easel. Then added all the colored stamps to create the card front.

This is an easy and fun way to make a fancy fold card. I just love the way this card turned out. I hope you give it a try!

The patterned paper mat on the inside piece is 2"H. 


I traced the castle from the Cinderella Scene Builder on black cardstock and fussy cut this out and strategically placed in towards the left side of the circle and hand trimmed the excess (I should have added the castle to the card front before adding the grass and use the circle die to cut it, but it was an after thought to add the castle).
