If you’ve ever wanted to try a shaped card but felt a little unsure where to start, today’s project is a great place to begin. Shaped cards are a fun way to move beyond standard rectangle card bases, and with the right dies and coordinated products, they’re much more approachable than they might seem at first glance. For this card, I used the Abbey Mini Album/Card Die Set from Scrappy Boy Stamps  to create a shaped card base that feels elegant and unique while still being ea

One of my favorite ways to stretch my supplies is by looking at dies with fresh eyes, and today’s project is a perfect example of that. This shaped slimline card gift card holder  started with the Coffee Mini Album Die Set  from Scrappy Boy Stamps , but instead of building an album, I used the pieces to create a fun coffee-themed card base. I pulled colors directly from the Dreaming of Coffee 4x9 Pattern Paper Pack , cutting the album pieces from coordinating cardstock so eve

Today’s card is a clean and layered donut card  that’s sweet, playful, and has just the right amount of shine—without any messy glazes or specialty tools. I used the Mouse Sprinkle Donut Die Set , Fairy Tale Phrases Die Set , and the I Love Theme Parks 6 x 6 Pattern Paper Pack  from Scrappy Boy Stamps  to create this fun storybook-style design. The colorful patterns paired with soft pinks and browns give this card a cheerful, polished look that works beautifully for birthdays

I had so much fun putting together this elegant birthday card featuring the The Queen Stamp Set  from Scrappy Boy Stamps! I started by stamping one of the fabulous Queen images onto Neenah Ultra Thick Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink , then brought her to life with my Ohuhu Brush Markers . I matched her colors to the gorgeous patterns in The Author and The Queen 6x6 Paper Pack , which added that perfect royal flair. After cutting her out with the coordinating The Quee

If you love stretching your crafty stash, this cheerful birthday card is such a fun way to turn Christmas stamps into something completely new. I started by stamping the teddy bear, robot, two presents, and the adorable elf popping out of a gift from the Santa’s Workshop Stamp Set  by Scrappy Boy Stamps . After coloring everything with my Ohuhu Brush Markers , I pulled patterns from the Love The Mouse 6x6 Paper Pack  and matched my markers to the bright reds, blues, and yello

Today I’m sharing a fun helmet-shaped birthday card  that’s perfect for any all-star in your life! I used the Football Helmet Mini Album/Card Die Set  from Scrappy Boy Stamps to create this bold red card base, and I have to say—the shape alone makes such a statement. To bring the design to life, I paired it with the Cute Kids I Love Sport Stamp Set  and the matching Outline Dies . The little football player was stamped onto Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80 lb cardstock  wi

There’s just something extra special about a handmade Christmas tag, and this little mouse-shaped cutie might be one of my favorites yet! I started with the Mouse Ears Mini Album Die Set  to create the shaped base, then reached for the Christmas Carol 6×6 Paper Pack  and chose the gorgeous Christmas street-scene pattern to set the holiday mood. That stitched mouse head outline frames the background so sweetly, and once the base was ready, it was time to bring in the star of t

There’s something about a clean and layered Christmas card that feels both timeless and fresh, and today I’m excited to share one I had so much fun putting together. If you’ve ever wanted a card that looks detailed but doesn’t require lots of complicated steps, this design might be exactly what you’re looking for. I love projects that let the patterned paper shine, offer a simple focal point, and leave room for a little playful detail. This reindeer card checks all the boxes,

Gift cards are always a great go-to, but let’s be honest—sometimes they can feel a little impersonal. So why not give them a handmade touch that makes the presentation just as exciting as the gift inside? That’s exactly what inspired today’s project. I wanted to create something that felt special, interactive, and surprisingly easy to make, and the Flip Open Present Die Set  from Scrappy Boy Stamps  was perfect for the job. These cards look like little wrapped gifts right on

Every year around this time, I find myself trying to balance the joy of creating handmade Christmas cards with the reality of a busy schedule. Between shopping, decorating, and all the holiday happenings, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why I’m always looking for ways to simplify my cardmaking process without sacrificing the handmade charm I love. For this project, I turned to the Christmas Carol Collection  from Scrappy Boy Stamps  and created six quick Christmas cards

The holidays are full of sparkle, music, and magic—but sometimes, a little laughter is the best way to spread Christmas cheer. When I saw the Butt Cracker Fairies Collection  from Scrappy Boy Stamps,  I couldn’t resist turning it into a cheeky, one-of-a-kind Christmas card. After all, who needs Sugar Plum Fairies when you can have these sassy little guys twirling their way across a stage—or in this case, a handmade music box! This card combines a playful sense of humor with a

If you’re anything like me, you probably love giving handmade gifts just as much as making handmade cards. There’s something extra special about handing someone a treat or small gift wrapped in something you created yourself. Today, I’m sharing a fun twist on gift packaging — two versions of the 3D Mouse Popcorn Box  using products from Scrappy Boy Stamps. One has a bright, theme park-inspired look (perfect for any time of year), and the other has a festive holiday spin that’
