Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Karin Akesdotter

Hi everyone! It's Karin Akesdotter here. I'm so excited to be back guesting for Sunny Studio today. I had a chance to play with the Polar Playmates set, the Playful Polar Bears set, and the Petite Poinsettias set.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Polar Playmates Winter Love Themed Card by Karin Akesdotter

For my first card, I used the Polar Playmates stamp set. I started by making a card base and then die cut a panel from white cardstock. I stamped and masked the seal, and then stamped the hole in the ice. I then colored the seal using Copic markers and stamped my sentiment. I also die cut some hearts from red cardstock and adhered them around the image. I adhered the finished panel to my card base with foam adhesive.

For my second card, I used the Playful Polar Bears stamp set and coordinating dies. I created a snow scene layering white die cut hills on blue polka dot paper. I stamped, colored, and cut my images and then adhered to create my scene with foam adhesive.

This next card also features the Playful Polar Bears stamp set and coordinating diesI inked my white cardstock with Distress inks to create an ombre like sky background. Once it was completely dry, I sprinkled embossing powder on the background and heat embossed it to create snow. I cut a frame and then stamped, colored and die cut three cute bears. I assembled all my pieces together to create a little snowy bear scene.

Once again, I used the Polar Playmates stamp set and coordinating dies for a fun little card. I started by making a square card base from light blue cardstock, and then created a snow background by dry embossing a panel of white cardstock. I stamped, colored and die cut the cute images from the stamp set and assembled them all on my card to create a cute arctic scene.

For my last card, I used the Petite Poinsettias stamp set and coordinating dies. I stamped the poinsettia and leaves using different shades of red and green ink, and then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I then made a window card from white cardstock. I created a pretty background for the window opening by stamping snowflakes onto blue cardstock. I stamped the sentiment and adhered the finished panel to my card base. I then added my stamped flower and leaves to the center of the window.

Thanks so much for having me back today. I hope you enjoyed my cards.
