Santa Claus Lane Cards with Juliana and Angelica

Hello Sunny Studio Friends! It's Juliana here to share a festive Christmas shaker card featuring the Santa Claus Lane Stamp Set.

I began by stamping and coloring some of the images from the Santa Claus Lane Stamp Set with Copic Markers. I then die cut them with the Santa Claus Lane Dies.

Next, I took the Layered Snowflake Frame Dies and die cut the large snowflake frame from white cardstock and trimmed it into a square. I then die cut the small snowflake frame from white cardstock and trimmed it the same size as the larger frame.

To create the shaker box, I adhered a piece of transparency film/acetate to the back side of the large frame. I then added thin strips of double sided foam tape to create the frame that will hold the sequins and beads.

For the backing of the shaker box, I cut a piece of white cardstock to just slightly larger than the frame and inked it with Distress Oxide in Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire. I then lightly spritzed it with some water to activate the ink and dabbed it dry revealing “snowflakes”.  Next, I adhered the small white snowflake frame to the center of this piece to finish off the backing. I then adhered Santa in his sleigh with the toys! To fill the shaker I used a mix of seed beads, sequins and Blue Snowflake Confetti. I usually carefully pour these on top of the image just to get a feel for how much to add.

I then carefully lined up the top of the shaker with the backing and adhered the layers together to complete the shaker card. To finish it all off, I added the sentiment, heat embossed with white embossing powder, onto a red die cut pennant from the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed learning how to create a festive Christmas shaker card featuring the Santa Claus Lane Stamp Set.

Hi friends! Angelica here, I have a new Christmas card to share with you today, featuring the Santa Claus Lane stamp set. 

I stamped and Copic-colored images from the stamp set, then die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I die-cut white card stock with Happy word die three times, stacking and gluing the words together for height. For the background, I blended Blueberry and Blue Corn inks onto a panel of white card stock. I let the ink dry, then white heat-embossed the sentiment words at an angle. 

I splattered shimmer water and watered-down white acrylic paint onto the panel for snow, then trimmed the panel with the Frilly Frames Retro Petals stitched rectangle. I attached the panel to a card base with foam adhesive, and added the chimney, Santa’s sleigh, and die cut word. I finished the card by applying shimmer and shine to the word, using a shimmer brush and Crystal glaze.

I hope I have helped with ideas for the fun Santa Clause Lane Lane stamp set. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Feeling Frosty Cards with Juliana and Angelica

Hello Sunny Studio Friends! It's Juliana here and today I'm sharing an interactive shaker card I created using the Feeling Frosty Stamp Set.

To get started, I stamped and colored several of the snow people from the Feeling Frosty Stamp Set. I then die cut them using the Feeling Frosty coordinating dies. I always end up coloring and stamping more images than I end up using on my cards! Can anyone relate to that? I then just sit them to the side and save them for future projects.

Now to create the shaker part of the card. Here, I took the Layered Snowflake Frame Die and used the inner die to cut a piece of white cardstock. This die is super intricate and I highly recommend using a metal shim to get a clean cut with your manual die cutting machine. After I had the frame die cut, I trimmed the outer edges to create a square. I then used this as the frame for the shaker part of the card. Turning the frame over, I adhered a piece of acetate to the back side and then added double sided adhesive foam strips to the edge of the frame to create the box. I filled this with a mix of clear seed beads and the adorable Blue Snowflake Confetti.

To complete the shaker box, I cut a piece of blue patterned paper from the Very Merry 6x6 Paper Pad the just smaller than the shaker frame. This will be the back of the shaker piece. I then die cut some snowy hills from white cardstock using the Woodland Borders Die. I adhered this at the bottom of the piece of blue paper and then added the cute snow people from the Frosty Friends to complete the scene. The box was then completed by adhering this piece to the backside of the shaker box.

Once the shaker box was complete, I adhered it to a strip of blue paper from the Very Merry 6x6 Paper Pad and then mounted this onto a piece of red paper from the same paper pad.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed learning how I created this shaker card using the Feeling Frosty Stamp Set.

Hi friends, Angelica here with winter card featuring the adorable Feeling Frosty stamp set.

I used the Frilly Frames Retro Petals stitched rectangle to die-cut white card stock. I ripped masking paper into the shape of a small hill, and attached it to the panel. I blended Chipped Sapphire, Stormy Sky, and Tumbled Glass Distress oxide inks over the mask to make the sky. After the inks were dry, I stamped and white heat-embossed snowflakes from the stamp set. I used my MISTI to line the sentiment up evenly, and stamped it with black ink. I added a heavy coat of Ranger Multi Media Matte onto the hill, and poured a generous amount of chunky glitter over the adhesive. 

While the adhesive was drying, I stamped and colored the snowmen. I used Copic Markers to color them, shading the snowmen with the following colors: B00, BV00, BV000, Colorless Blender. After I die-cut them with the coordinating dies, I attached them to the panel with thin foam squares. I added the panel to a card base with foam adhesive to finish the card.

Giving these two frosty friends a clean and simple background really lets them shine, and adding small touches like the glitter snow gives the card fun texture. I hope I have help inspired new ideas for this stamp set. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Embossing Folder Focused Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here today with a fun shaker card using the Woodgrain Embossing folder. While looking at the new dies, I thought the flap die from the Sweet Treat Bag Dies would make a perfect window for a snow globe shaker card!

I first embossed a panel of white cardstock with the embossing folder and die-cut the window. I covered the front of my card with patterned paper from the Very Merry 6x6 paper pad, then I stamped the snowman from Feeling Frosty, colored it with Copics, die-cut it with the matching die and adhered it to the card with foam tape. I adhered clear cardstock to the back of the window, backed it with fun foam, filled the window with clay hearts, snowflakes and clear sequins and adhered the front to the card.

Now I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of pink cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it to create the base of the snowglobe. Finally, I stamped the tree, colored it with Copics, die-cut it with the matching die and adhered it.

I hope you like my idea to stretch your dies! Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello everyone, Anja here sharing a pastel Christmas card which features the Buffalo Plaid Embossing Folder and one of the cute Merry Mice Stamps. As a little bonus, I added a circle shaker element.

First, I ran the embossing folder with a piece of white cardstock through my die-cutting machine. To enhance the texture of the embossed plaid pattern, I diagonally applied Distress Oxide Inks (Milled Lavender, Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass) with a soft blending brush. I also added some random ink and white paint splatters.

Next, I stamped the mouse and its hat in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and did some coloring with Copic Markers. I added little dots to the stocking with a white gelly roll pen and used the coordinating dies to cut out the images.

For my shaker element, I die cut three stitched scalloped circle frames from white cardstock using the Fancy Frame Circle Dies. I stacked two of them together to create a more sturdy top frame. I adhered an acetate circle to its back and die cut a narrow circle frame from white fun foam which I adhered with double-sided tape. This will create the right height for the embellishments to move around freely in the shaker. I then taped the last stitched scalloped circle frame to the other side of the fun foam circle (this step is not necessary but this bottom layer made it easier for me to adhere the shaker to the card later).

Now for the fun part of creating a shaker, I picked all kinds of tiny embellishments: Pink & White Clay Heart Confetti as well as sequins and seed beads from my stash. I also adhered some White Pearls and Blue & White Clay Snowflake Confetti to the embossed plaid background, so they won't fell to the bottom of the shaker when the card stands upright.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink onto a banner and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder.

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

Christmas Garland Frame Cards with Juliana and Angelica

Hello Sunny Studio Friends! It's Juliana here and today I'm sharing a simple, but elegant Christmas card featuring the Season's Greetings Stamp Set. If you need to make a lot of Christmas cards this year, you might find this card to be the one for you. Hopefully, it will at least inspire some ideas on how to make your card making feel more manageable and enjoyable!

I began by die cutting a piece of green cardstock using the tree garland frame from the Christmas Garland Frame Die. This die is super intricate and I highly recommend using a metal shim to get a clean cut with your manual die cutting machine. I then die cut a bunch of berries from red and white cardstock. Die cutting them and then adhering the layers probably took the longest amount of time on this card. An idea to speed up this part might be to only cut the solid part of the berry die or even use red pearls or sequins instead.

Once the frame was complete, I stamped the sentiment from the Season's Greetings Stamp Set with embossing ink and then heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I then finished the card by adding a black and white buffalo check ribbon to the bottom corner.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this bit of inspiration using the Season's Greetings Stamp Set. We can't wait to see what you create and share with us!

Hi friends, Angelica here, and I have a festive shaker card to share with you today, showcasing the Christmas Garland Frame Die.

I die-cut green card stock two times, and glued them together. I added glue around the tips, then sprinkled loose white flock and clear glitter onto the adhesive. Once dry, I attached the frame to acetate cut the same size as the frame. I added thin foam strips to the back of the frame, added glitter and clear sequins into the window, then closed the back with pattern paper from the Holiday Cheer Paper Pack. 

I used double-sided adhesive to attach the panel to a card base. I used the Merry Christmas die from the set to die-cut white and red card stock, then attached the white to the acetate window. I added the red die-cut at a slight angle on top of the white to finish the card. 

That’s all that I have for today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Feeling Frosty Cards with Rachel and Candice

Hello! It's Rachel here and I have a fun double layer shaker card to share with you today featuring the new Feeling Frosty Stamp Set! I love shaker cards and making them double layered adds twice the fun because it adds room for some dimension.

The Feeling Frosty Set is filled with the cutest snowmen! I started my card by stamping my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and coloring them with Copies. I used the coordinating Feeling Frosty Dies to cut them out. For my background, I trimmed a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and blended it with some Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink. I then splattered this piece with some water to give the blending some texture.

Once dry, I then splattered it generously with some diluted Opaque White Paint to resemble falling snow. Once my background was ready, I added a few pine trees and a stitched snow drift using the Woodlands Border Die Set and some white card stock. Since this was my bottom layer, I adhered these pieces with liquid adhesive directly to my ink blended background.

I then liberally added some chunky white glitter to this first layer and used .25" wide 3D Foam Tape and a piece of clear acetate to seal it off. Once this layer was secure, I started to work on my second layer. I added another stitched snow drift to this layer once again using the Woodlands Borders Die. I glued this piece directly to the acetate below it. I also did the same with my snowmen and gift images.

I then repeated the same process with adding some chunky white glitter, foam tape, and acetate to this second layer. I used less glitter on the second layer so that it wouldn't cover my snowmen too much when laying flat.

To finish off my card, I added a thin white white frame to which I had attached a gorgeous frame of garland in white using the new Christmas Garland Frame Die. I love the final effect!

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today! If you want a good video tutorial for this type of technique, check out THIS video by Jennifer McGuire. Have a lovely weekend!

It's Friday and I wish you all a crafty weekend ahead! Candice here and can I tell you how excited I am to be sharing my first official post with you on the Sunny Studio's Design Team?!  Just look at how cute this new Holiday release is!

I truly love how Sunny Studio stamps sets can easily be combined!  For this card, I used:

• Feeling Frosty stamp set
• Feeling Frosty coordinating dies
• Scenic Route stamp set
• Scenic Route coordinating dies
• Fall Kiddos stamp set
• Fall Kiddos coordinating dies
• Layered Snowflake Frame die (snowflakes)
• Woodland Borders die (snowhills)
• Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 paper

I began my card by creating an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base which fits perfectly into the size 9A envelopes.

I first stamped the snowmen, houses & kiddos, colored them with Copic markers, and used the coordinating dies listed above for each set. I then heat embossed the sentiment in silver and trimmed to a banner.

For the background, I inked the sky using peacock feathers, tumbled glass & shabby shutters, gluing the houses right at the green glow. Next, I created my snowhills from the AMAZING new Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 paper.  I know I will be going back to this pack often, so many possibilities with this set!

To put the card together, I layered the snowhills and pop dotted the images along them, adding the sentiment along the bottom. For the final touch, I added a bit of sparkle with some glitter snowflakes.
