Turkey Day Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you today and I have a Thanksgiving card to share with you featuring these adorable turkeys from the Turkey Day set. Aren’t these turkeys just the cutest?! I especially love the turkey holding the sign and the super cute “Eat Pie!” sentiment.

I stamped the images from the Turkey Day Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Turkey Day Dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Turkeys: E000/00/21/11/13, R20, E31/23/25, Y38, R14/24
Turkey feathers: R22/24, Y38 YR04, Y15/17, YR21/24/27, BG000/01/02

For the layout, I used the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies to diecut a panel out of white cardstock. I popped out the panels inside the frame and lightly ink blended the top potion of each one with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. I adhered the frame and inked little panels onto a white A2 cardbase (5.5” x 4.25”).

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner 1 Dies to diecut a banner out of Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock. I colored it with Copic marker. I stamped the “Happy Thanksgiving” from the Turkey Day Stamps set onto the sentiment banner and highlighted with a white gel pen. I adhered the colored images and the sentiment banner to the card front with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. Be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop  for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Classy Christmas Card with Jarle

Hi friends! It’s Jarle here, and I am happy to be back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog for my weekly project.  Today, I am featuring the Classy Christmas stamp set for an elegant Christmas card. I haven’t made many Christmas cards this year, so I was glad to have another one done! 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Classy Christmas Holiday Card by Jarle Franceus  (featuring Build-A-Greeting Holidays)

I trimmed a piece of red cardstock to 3,75 by 5 inches. I went for Cranberry cardstock from Spellbinders. I prepped this panel with an antistatic powder tool, since I was going to be doing a lot of heat embossing. 

I stamped different images from the Classy Christmas stamp set with Versamark ink onto the card panel. I used a regular stamping block instead of my Misti because I stamped those images a few times. I sprinkled on gold embossing powder and heat-set it with my heat tool.

Tip 1: Stamp, emboss, and heat set in different sections. Only bring your heat gun to your cardstock when it is very hot so you don’t get any warping. 

Tip 2: Wipe down your card panel with a cloth after embossing. This gets rid of the antistatic powder. 

I took out my Polychromos pencils and colored all the images. I did very simple shading, with only 2 colors of green and 2 colors of blue. I was afraid that the cardstock was going to be too smooth for colored pencils, but it worked beautifully. 

These are the colors I used:
- Blue: 149 & 152 
- Green: 266 & 278

After that, I chose a sentiment from the Build A Greeting Holidays and heat embossed it as well on a strip of red cardstock. I popped up the sentiment onto my card panel. I adhered the whole panel with foam tape on an A2 cardbase made of Oceanside cardstock (Spellbinders). Yes! Lots of dimension! For a finishing touch, I glued down a few Gold Jewels. I think this really finishes off the card. 

Whenever I do gold embossing, I am always amazed at how beautiful and special the effect is. I hope you will give this a try! Have a beautiful day!

Sleigh Ride Surprise Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing a card with a giant gingerbread cookie being made by some little penguins. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sleigh Ride Surprise Holiday Card by Janneke Peters (featuring Passionate Penguins, Baked With Love)

For the background, I used two different patterned papers. For the floor, I used a paper from the Amazing Argyle Paper set, and for the wall I chose the soft pink argyle print from the All Bright Paper set. I love how these patterns create a cozy little Christmas kitchen scene.

The sleigh was die-cut using the Sleigh Ride Surprise Dies. I cut the main sleigh from brown cardstock and then added a combination of white and brown splatters to give it a delicious, baked-cookie look. I die-cut all the decorative details of the sleigh from white glitter cardstock to add some extra sparkle.

Next, I stamped the adorable penguins from the Passionate Penguins stamp set. These little guys are busy making their giant cookie! To make the scene even more fun, I gave them some kitchen utensils from the Baked With Love stamp set. And, of course, no Christmas baking scene would be complete without Santa hats. I used the hats from the Alpaca Holiday stamp set and added a touch of glitter to make them sparkle.

Once everything was colored, I assembled the whole scene onto a golden card base. As a final touch, I die-cut some tiny golden stars using the Nativity Scene Builder dies and scattered them around the background.

Card done, ready to send joy! Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.

Forest Tree Stencil Focused Card with Yan

Hey crafty friends! It's Yan here, and today I'm sharing a cozy, whimsical holiday card to get us all into the festive spirit! I had so much fun creating a colorful, wintery backdrop for these sweet little singing mice.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Forest Tree Stencil & Merry Mice Holiday Card by Yan X DIY (featuring Holiday Greetings, Basic Mini Shape Dies)

​I kicked things off by stamping those adorable mice from the Merry Mice Stamps onto Neenah Solar White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, then brought them to life with my favorite Copic markers before die-cutting them with the matching dies.

​COPIC COLORS:
Mice: B000, B12, E41, R30, R43, Y15, YG63, YG03, W1, W4
Cheese Tree: BG0000, BG15, E31, E35, Y00, Y02, Y15

​For the background, I took a separate panel of white cardstock and blended Distress Oxide Inks in Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Shaded Lilac, and Dusty Concord right through the Forest Trees Stencil. I love how blending these purple and pink tones creates a dreamy, twilight forest scene!

​To add a touch of winter magic, I die-cut a few delicate snowflakes from white cardstock using the Basic Mini Shape Dies 5 and scattered them across the sky. For the sentiment, I heat embossed 'Happy Holidays' in gold onto a strip of vellum using the Holiday Greetings Stamps and cut it out with the coordinating Holiday Greetings Dies.

​To finish up, I arranged all my elements and popped up the sweet mice with foam tape for some extra dimension!

​And there you have it—a cheerful holiday scene that was so joyful to make. I hope it brings a big smile to your face! Happy crafting, everyone!

Amazing Argyle Paper Focused Card with Tina H

Hi there crafty friends! Tina here with a fun birthday card using bright paper from the Amazing Argyle pack. I am a big fan of this beautiful pattern!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Amazing Argyle Patterned Paper Focused Birthday Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Frilly Frame Dies, Dotted Diamond Dies, Stitched Arch Dies, Party Pets)

After creating a white card base, I cut a panel of a pink-purple piece with the outer die of the Frilly Frames Chevron set. My next layer is a smaller white rectangle dry-embossed with the Dotted Diamond Portrait die. I love the subtle texture this provides! 

On top of this pattern, I added a white Stitched Arch. For the bottom of this piece, I used the same argyle paper as before. Can you guess I like adding layers to my projects? I glued all these panels to the card base with liquid glue.

Then it was time to turn this card into a celebration with a cutie from Party Pets. All the coloring was done with my trusty Copic markers, and I used foam tape to adhere the sweet cat to the arched base. 

My sentiment needed some card surgery since I only used the congrats part from The Graduate die cut. But that was an easy fix with a little bit of fussy cutting. To make this card extra festive, I added lots of stars of the argyle paper (Comic Strip Speech Bubbles).

With so many birthdays in the coming months, I am sure this card will be sent soon! Thank you for joining me, and happy crafting!
