In today’s cardmaking tutorial, I’m sharing how to create a shaped card using stamps, dies, and pattern paper, finished with alcohol marker coloring. This handmade card project is perfect for crafters who want to move beyond standard rectangle cards while still keeping the process approachable and enjoyable. If you love stamping techniques and thoughtful die-cut card designs, this video will give you plenty of inspiration.

I’ll walk you through how I use the Abbey Mini Album/Card Die Set to build the shaped card base, then layer in stamped images, coordinating outline dies, and patterned paper for a polished look. You’ll also see how I approach alcohol marker coloring in a calm, no-stress way that works beautifully for beginner to intermediate cardmakers. Along the way, I explain why these products work so well together and how you can mix and match them for future projects.

This project is designed to help you feel more confident using shaped dies and creating cards that feel special without being complicated. It also highlights how versatile and cohesive the Scrappy Boy Stamps products are when used together in a single card design.
