Scrappy Boy Stamps: Rectangle Patchwork Cards

Most of my crafty friends know that I am a patterned paper lover. That's because it creates such a beautiful background for cards, scrapbooks, and other projects;  especially if the papers coordinate with the stamps. Scrappy Boy Stamps always has coordinating papers for their stamp sets. Some papers can be mixed and matched with many other stamp sets. I also like to showcase the papers using patchwork patterns. 

For today's three cards, I used an older die called 70's Family Rectangle Die. I used this die to cut 3 different patterned papers from the Cute Kids Cave Kids Paper Pack and 3 pieces of black cardstock to make the frames. I used the Cute Kids Cave Kids and Cute Dinosaurs stamps to make a set of cards.

Scrappy Boy Stamps: October Sneak Peeks!

It's Scrappy Boy Stamps SNEAK PEEK time! This month we have not one, not two, but three amazing holiday sets!! 1) Naughty List, 2) Nice List, and 3) Cute Girls Merry & Bright. There are also a fun Christmas Presents Layered Stencil, a Merry & Bright Ornaments Layered Stencil, and two beautiful paper packs, Vintage Christmas and Merry & Bright. I have created three cards using stamps from each of these sets. All new releases will be available at the Scrappy Boy Stamps webstore on Friday, October 21, 2022.

Card 1: Be Naughty

I created an A2 gate fold card with a latch so that the card closes and lays flat. On the front of the card is a sexy dancing elf. When the doors open, naughty Santa is on the stage flexing his muscles! A fun and humorous card! 

I used an older stencil called Burlesque Stage Stencil and distress oxide to create the stage for Santa.
