Christmas Garland Frame Cards with Candice and Rachel

Candice with you today, sharing a different use for the new Christmas Garland Frame die as coral!

The Sunny Studio products I used for my card:

• Christmas Garland Frame die
• Best Fishes stamps & coordinating dies
• Merry Mice stamps & coordinating dies
• Scenic Route stamps & coordinating dies
• Rainbow Pearls

For the background, I first heat embossed the bubbles in white and then inked over with tumbled glass oxide ink. I then die cut the Christmas Garland Frame from navy glitter paper, using a shim to get a deep cut through the thickness of the cardstock. I love how it looks like coral for this card!

Next, I stamped the fishes and winter accessories, colored with Copic markers and then used the coordinating dies listed above to cut out. The christmas lights I stamped and cut out with the coordinating dies, colored with Copics and added yellow Stickles for some shimmer.

To finish the card, I heat embossed the sentiment in white from both the Merry Mice and Best Fishes stamp sets on a red banner. For the embellishments, I simply added a few navy domes from the Rainbow Pearls.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello everyone! It's Rachel here and I have a festive winter card that features the gorgeous Christmas Garland Frame Die. I've combined this die with the Jolly Gingerbread Stamp Set.

To create my frame, I first started with a piece of Ranger White Watercolor Paper that I had trimmed to slightly larger than 4.25" x 5.5". I then quickly watercolored this piece with both Daniel Smith Viridian Watercolor Paint and Ken Oliver Turquoise Colorburst Watercolor Powder. I then let this piece dry before I die cut it. Once I had it cut out, I then splattered it with both dark green diluted watercolor paint as well as diluted Opaque White Paint. I added some of this diluted white paint to the ends of each piece to resemble fallen snow.

Next I trimmed a piece of smooth white card stock to 4.25" x 5.5" and lightly blended some Catherine Pooler Hot Tub Ink. I splattered this blended area with both some water drops as well as some more diluted white paint. I added some stitched snow drifts using the Woodland Border Dies. 

For my images, I stamped them onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored everything with Copics. I cut them out and then added them to my card with both liquid adhesive and 3D Foam Tape depending on which ones I wanted to add more dimension to. I used a fun sentiment from the Jolly Gingerbread Set and added it to the left side of my front snow drift before adding it to my card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my card today!

Feeling Frosty Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a card using the adorable Feeling Frosty set. I used almost every snowman from the set to create this gathering of frosty friends.

First, I inked the front of a white card base with Distress Oxide Inks. Now I hand-cut snow hills from white cardstock, inked the edges with blue ink and adhered them. I stamped all the images onto white cardstock, colored them with Copic markers, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered them to the card, raising some with foam tape.

Stamps and dies used: Feeling Frosty Stamps, Feeling Frosty Dies, Christmas Home Stamps, Christmas Home Dies, Gleeful Reindeer Stamps, Gleeful Reindeer Dies

After I had added "snow" with a white gel pen, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock with white embossing powder, trimmed it and adhered it.

I love these snowmen so much, they are the coolest gang :) Thank you for stopping by today!

Hello everyone, Anja here to share a card made with the Feeling Frosty set which is one of my favorites. I already used it a couple of times and wanted to come up with something different. So I tried my hand on no-line coloring which I find quite intimidating to be honest.

With the help of some masking, I created a one layer scene. I combined the Feeling Frosty snowmen and cups with the hillside border from the Scenic Route set. For a very light stamped color, I used the Inkon3 Fadeout No Line Coloring Detail Ink. I colored the images with Copic Markers and Prismacolor Pencils.

The sky was done by blending Distress Oxide Inks (Milled Lavender and Spun Sugar) and splattering white paint with a brush. I cut one of the Fancy Frames Square Dies from white cardstock to frame my little winter scene.

I think the sentiment is the perfect match for these snowman friends who share a cup of hot cocoa together. It's stamped in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with Ranger Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder. I die cut a stitched banner and adhered it with foam tape. To finish off my card, I added White Clay Snowflakes and a Pink Clay Heart.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a beautiful day!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Winter Themed Cards with Mona Toth

Hi crafty friends! It's Mona Toth here and I am super excited for be a guest on the Sunny Studio Blog! I have two cards for today what I made with the Merry Mice, Scenic Route and Cruising Critters stamp sets.

For my first card I started the cardmaking with stamping and coloring. I stamped the images from the Merry Mice and the Scenic Route stamp sets then I colored them with Copic Markers. After the coloring I die-cut the images with coordinating dies and added highlights with Signo Uniball white pen.

For the background added Frilly Frames Chevron Dies with Neenah Solar White cardstock then I cut a little smaller cardstock made ink blending on it with Spun Sugar and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink. After the ink blending I stamped the "Merry Christmouse" sentiments with clear watermark ink and made a quick heat embossing on it.

To the background I added a beautiful red cardstock from Striped Silly 6x6 Paper Pad behind the background die-cut. In the end I styled my card and adhered everything together.

For my second card I made almost the same process, but this time I have used the Cruising Critters stamp set together with the Scenic Route set. I colored them with Copic markers as well.

For the background I die-cut the Layered Snowflake Frame Die from a cream cardstock and created with it this sweet but festive scene.

In the end I run the "Winter Wishes" sentiment through my die-cut machine with red cardstock, adhered to my card and it was ready. 

Thank you very much for reading through my post, I hope that you have enjoyed it, feel free to comment which one you like more. Feel free to check my Instagram for more inspiration. :)

Have an amazing day, big hugs, Mona!

Hogs & Kisses Cards with Anja and Vanessa

Hi everyone, Anja here and today I'm back again with another Christmas card featuring the Hogs & Kisses set. I combined the cute piggy with the house border stamp from the Scenic Route set.

For my background, I blended together some blue Distress Oxide Inks (Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire) onto a piece of Bristol paper and added white paint splatters with a brush. I stamped the row of houses and the pig in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and did some coloring with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images.

The pun sentiment is a combination of the gold heat embossed word 'Hoggy' and the scripty 'Christmas' die which is included in the Christmas Garland Frame set and stretches across the whole width of my card. I die cut it from red glitter cardstock. Finally, I adhered the house border panel and pig with foam tape for a little bit of dimension.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a card using the cute Hogs & Kisses set. I created a little scene and loved digging through my beloved Sunny Studio stash to find elements to add to this.

I first covered the front of my card with patterned paper from the Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 paper pad to create the background of my scenery. Then I stamped all the images onto white cardstock, colored the elements with Copics, die-cut everything with the matching dies and adhered the images to the card. 

Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of red cardstock, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, trimmed the strip and adhered it to the card.

Hogs & Kisses stamps + dies
