• Cut two of the toppers that fit all the way across the bookmark.
• The shaker pouch is made using We R Memory Keepers Fuseables and the Fuse tool to seal the edges. Use the Bookmark Die to cut two of the Fuseables (you can use light weight clear acetate, such as a page protector, as well). 
• Using the Fuse Tool, seal the left, right, and bottom edges, leaving the top open to create the shaker pouch.
• Fill the pouch with the X's & O's die cuts and sequins. Put as much or as little bits as you like. Use the Fuse Tool to seal the top. 
• Sandwich the pouch between the top and bottom of the bookmark and adhere using strong double adhesive tape or liquid glue. 
• Adhere the topper to the front and back, aligning the holes.
• Adhere the colored images using doubles sided tape or liquid glue. If using liquid glue, make sure it does not ooze out onto the acetate.
• Tie the ribbon onto the bookmark.

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

• 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!

I created the background using Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass. I used the Three Little Pigs House Decorator to create the tree using the inks listed above in the supply list. I then stamped the sentiment.

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!
