Embossing Folder Focused Cards with Franci and Ana

Hi there! Franci here with you today, with a fun pastel winter card showcasing lots of the new Sunny Studio products.

I started by making my card base out of white cardstock as always, then I also cut out a smaller panel and I embossed it with the new Woodgrain Embossing folder. This effect is amazing, I was waiting for the perfect woodgrain texture and here it is!

Then I stamped, colored with Copics and die cut lots of images from these sets: Scenic Route + coordintaed dies, Hogs and Kisses + coordinated dies, Feeling Frosty and Santa Claus Lane + coordinated dies. I stamped all the snowmen inside the speech bubbles and achieved a clean look by masking just the bottom edge of the bubbles, but you can also die cut the snowmen with their coordinated dies and glue them on top for an alternative look :)

I glued everything down with liquid glue + foam tape and added a little stripe of this beautiful rainbow striped paper from the new Very Merry 6x6 Paper pack. Then I also added a thin strip of pink flock to give my card a fun fuzzy feeling. Finally I added some white Nuvo Drops here and there as embellishments.

Hope you like my card and thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello friends! Ana here today with a card featuring beautiful brand new Buffalo Plaid Embossing Folder! I have decided to dress up today’s card as a holiday present and the Buffalo Plaid embossing folder gave me the perfect look and texture.

I created red background panel by die cutting patterned paper from new Very Merry 6x6 paper pack with Frilly Frames Lattice scalloped outline die. I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3 x 4 ¼ ‘’, embossed it with Buffalo Plaid embossing folder and added two strips of the same red patterned paper I used for the background. 

Next, I adhered embossed panel to the red background with foam tape. I heat embossed the sentiment (from Holiday Style stamp set) onto a small vellum tag (from Wrap Around Box Dies set) then out of gold glitter paper, die cut the bow (from Santa’s Stocking Dies). I added the tag and bow to the front of the card then adhered completed panel to A2 size card base and my holiday present card was finished!

Thank you for stopping by today and spending some time with us - I really hope you like today’s project and got inspired! I’ll see you next week and until then - Happy Crafting!

Stitched Felt Santa's Stocking with Eloise

Hello friends, Eloise here and today I have a stitched felt stocking to share with you all using the Santa's Stocking die set. 

To start off my stocking today I die cut two stockings and the bow from red felt, the top, heel and toe piece from white felt and the holly leaves from green felt. I then used some white thread and stitched through the sides of the stocking, leaving the top piece open.

A tip here is to pierce the holes with a paper piercer first, so it's easier to stitch though two layers of felt.

Now that my stocking is stitched, I went ahead and adhered my white pieces into place with glue. I then pierced through another hole at the top of the stocking for the twine. I threaded it through and tied it in a knot. 

Lastly, I added the holly leaves and bow on the top for added interest. Now the stocking is complete and perfect for adding in any small gifts. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did making it and I can't wait to make more! See you next time.

Santa's Stocking Christmas Tags and Shaped Cards with Lexa

Hi everyone! Lexa here today with super fun shaped cards and gift tags for this Christmas. Highlighting the Santa's Stocking Dies with so many possibilities to get ready for the seasons.

I used white cardstock and various red patterned papers from Sunny Studio to create the Santa's Stockings. They look more fun with the patterns rather than plain red stockings. I stamped "Merry Christmas" from Petite Poinsettias on every stocking. You can many of this fun shaped cards in such a little time, all you need is the dies and papers. Since I had scrap papers left over, I decided to create some gift tags as well. Using the brand new tag dies called Build-A-Tag #2 Dies, I use a classic Christmas color combination in green and red.

The ornaments from Santa's Stocking Dies are super adorable, you know that you need them for your Christmas' projects. I mean...come on, who can resist the cuteness?? Here's the closer look of the gift tags... I also tied black and white twines.

I adhered some pieces with foam tapes to create dimension. I made lots of use of the pretty patterned papers. This simple greeting cards will make anyone's holiday even merrier. The sentiment on the right tag is from an older set called Merry Sentiment Stamps.

That's all for today, thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoy today's projects as much as I do.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Merry Christmas Cards with Isha Gupta

Hello everyone! It’s Isha Gupta here, and I am so excited to be here as a guest designer today. I’m sharing four cards with you all using the new release products. I used The Christmas Trimmings stamp set along with the coordinating dies Eskimo Kisses stamp set, Cable Knit embossing folder and the Santa's Stocking dies.

For my first card, I went for a CAS style. I created a mask using a heart shape, masked and sponged some distress inks to it. I then applied some snow through a stencil and let it dry.

Meanwhile, I stamped the cute images from the Eskimo Kisses stamp set and colored them in using Copic markers. I then cut them and adhered them to the card. I then stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Trimmings stamp set. Finally, I adhered three die cut snowflakes.

Still keeping the CAS style, I went for a complete watercolor card using the Christmas Trimmings stamp set. This set is so versatile, it has GORGEOUS layering stamps, which I will be sharing on a later card. 

Here I simply stamped the pine needles and the berries using dye inks and watercolors. Love the effect on this one. 

Since, I am enjoying both the stamp sets, I used them both here and created a watercolor scene. 

This time I added a bit of embossing glitter to the pine needles. Love these cute Eskimo Kisses images :)

I decided to go for a shaped card as this Santa's Stocking die is just the perfect size. I die-cut it and then stamped, colored the girl image. I then run it through my big shot using the Cable Knit embossing folder. 

I die-cut the rest of the layering parts using a light blue cardstock and adhered it to the stocking. I then stamped the holly leaves using all the three layers. The layering is amazing, it gives such a wonderful results.

I really love the new release as it is so super adorable and versatile too. I had so much fun playing with the both sets, even using them together on a card. Thank you Mendi for having me.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Leanne West

Hi friends! Leanne West here today and I’m so happy to be back with three more projects showcasing the fantastic Holiday release stamps and dies. I’ll be sharing all the Sunny Studio products I’ve used and some details for each so let’s get started.  

This first card features the adorable little owls from the Happy Owlidays stamp set. I’ve stamped and colored all three owls with Copic markers. I’ve used E70, E71, and E74 for the owl’s body - a nice cool brown combo for winter critters. I used the coordinating dies to cut out all my colored images. I then used the Window Trio Square die to create a long banner with openings to house my owls. The frame part is cut from the light grey dotted pattern paper from the Holiday Cheer 6x6 paper pack. For the small squares behind the owls, I inked up some white card stock with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink and dotted with white paint.  

I used an A6 sized white card base and covered the front with some of the red gingham paper cut slightly smaller. This paper is also from the Holiday Cheer 6x6 paper pack. I adhered the window frame banner with foam adhesive. I added the blue background squares and then the owls. I white heat embossed sentiments from the Happy Owlidays stamp set onto some black card stock strips. After I added the sentiment strips, I felt the card needed just a bit of embellishment. I die cut three stars using dies from the Window Trio Square set and added them in two clusters with some clear sequins.  

My next card features two of the little foxes from Foxy Christmas. I have a go-to Copic combo for foxes - E13, E15, and E17. It’s the perfect reddish brown. I wanted to create a winter scene for my foxes so I used the birch tree dies from the Rustic Winter set to die cut three trees. I cut a panel of Bristol Smooth card stock slightly smaller than an A2 sized card and sponged on some Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink. To give the look of some additional trees in the background, I took the negative cut from the birch tree dies and used it as a stencil to add four trees with the Chipped Sapphire ink. I liberally splattered white paint over the background for a snowy look.

I created three snowy hills using the Woodland Border dies. I lightly inked the bottom of each with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink and then layered them over the background panel. I added the images to the scene and tucked some in between the snow layers. I added a sentiment from the Foxy Christmas set. I cut a banner using a die from the Fancy Frames Rectangles set and heat embossed the sentiment in silver. Lastly I added some dots of Nuvo Crystal Drops in white to the background for even more snow!

For my last project, I’ve used the Santa’s Stocking dies to make a decorative gift card holder. I started by adhering strips of pattern paper from the Holiday Cheer 6x6 paper pack to a piece of sturdy white card stock. This is a great way to use up those paper scraps! I then cut two stockings - one from the paper pieced panel and one from plain white. I used my sewing machine to stitch the front and back of the stocking together. I die cut the top cuff, heel, and stocking toe pieces from white card stock and embossed these pieces using the Cable Knit embossing folder.  

To decorate the stocking, I added the holly and berries onto the cuff and then tucked two die cut candy canes inside. I used some bakers twine to tie a bow around one of the candy canes. To finish, I added a silver heat embossed sentiment on a oval label I die cut using the smallest Stitched Oval die. The sentiment is from the Gleeful Reindeer stamp set. The opening of the stocking is the perfect size to insert a gift card inside and by adding a hanger with the twine this can also be used as an ornament. I plan on making several of these to have on hand for the holiday season.

Thank you for joining me today! I hope I have offered you some new ideas for your Christmas crafting projects. I will be back in December with one more round of projects using these fun holiday products so I’ll see you then!
