Mini Mat & Tag 2 Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you today, and I am sharing a fun Christmas card featuring these adorable penguins from the Roly Poly Penguins and Penguin Pair set on a Mini Mat & Tag 2 die-cut.  

I stamped the images from the Roly Poly Penguins Stamp and Penguin Pair Stamp set onto Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then used the coordinating Roly Poly Penguin Dies and Penguin Pair Dies to die-cut them. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/4/5/7, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R20
Red: R14/24/29/39
White: C00/1/3

For the layout, I used the Woolen Mitten Dies and Basic Mini Shapes Dies 5 to die-cut some white snowflakes. I adhered the snowflakes to pink cardstock. Next, I used the Mini Mat & Tag 2 Dies to die-cut a mat out of white cardstock. I masked off the scalloped edges and lightly ink-blended with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Merry Christmas” from the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp set with Versafine Satin Red ink directly onto the Mini Mat panel. 

I adhered a piece of craft foam to the back of the Mini Mat panel before adhering it to the pink panel with snowflakes. I trimmed off the bottom part of a couple of the penguins before adhering them to the Mini Mat panel. Finally, the pink panel was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25” x 5.5”).

Alpine Adventure Card with Jarle

Hi friends! Jarle here. I am happy to be back with another project for Sunny Studio Stamps. Today, I am featuring the Alpine Adventure stamp set, on a little platform card.

I started by die cutting the Platform Pop-Up from Lawn Fawn out of the beautiful Joyful Holiday paper. That striped pattern is my favorite! I assembled my platform first, before moving on to my images. 

I stamped all the penguins (and the polar bear) out of the Alpine Adventure stamp set with black ink. I also stamped some snowflakes with a blue dye ink (I used Pinkfresh). After that, I colored all my images with Copic markers. I die cut them all with the coordinating dies. (I love that the tiny snowflakes also have dies.) 

For the penguins I used
- BV29, BV25, BV23 + BG10 with the colorless blender

For their little accessories I chose:
- RV19, RV25, RV14
- B05, B02, B00
- YG09, YG06, YG03

I started by putting all my images into my platform box, but I found it missed something. I pulled out the Woolen Mitten die set and die cut the large snowflake two times out of white glitter cardstock. I adhered these to the side panels of my platform. For the tiny snowflakes, I used acetate to let them flow in the air... Cute, right? 

Finally I white embossed my sentiment from the Build-A-Greeting: Holidays stamp set and put it on the front of the platform. 

Those penguins were super fun to color. You should definitely try out that BV color combo! It's my favorite combo to color penguins. Have a beautiful day!

Pathway Home Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing this autumn shaker card with a vintage feel. 

I started by stamping the Pathaway Home stamp onto white cardstock using brown ink. I then colored the stamped image with a brown pencil. This gives the background a beautiful vintage, almost sepia-like appearance, which is perfect for the autumn theme I had in mind.

Next, I stamped the adorable squirrels, the little cart and the pumpkins that are included with the Pathaway Home stamp set and die-cut all the images using the coordinating dies. I also die-cut a mailbox and some envelopes from the Snail Mail stamp set. For all the little images, I used my Ohuhu markers, sticking to warm orange and brown tones.

For the frame, I chose a piece of orange polka-dot paper from the Critter Country Paper. I die-cut the frame using the Scalloped Square 1 Large dies together with the Stitched Square dies.

Time to make the shaker! I first adhered one of the little pumpkins to the scene in front of the house. Then I attached acetate to the back of the orange frame. I added some fun autumn-themed shaker material and secured everything together to create the shaker element.

Once the shaker was finished, I arranged and adhered the adorable critters onto the card. Finally, I added the “Greetings” sentiment from the Big Bunny stamp set. I stamped it in orange to match the rest of the card and to finish off the warm autumn color palette.

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

Critter Country Paper Focused Card with Yan

Hey crafty friends! It's Yan here. Happy October 1st! Autumn is officially here, and I'm so excited to bring a little cozy, spooky fun to your screen today. Grab a warm cup of tea, and let's jump into crafting!

​To kick things off, I stamped these adorable images using the Too Cute To Spook Stamps onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Next, I brought them to life using my Copic markers. Once the coloring was complete, I lined up the coordinating dies Too Cute To Spook Dies to cut everything out flawlessly.

COPIC COLORS:
Spider: W4, W5
Cat in Vampire Costume: E30, E31, E35, E47, R30, TR61, YR65, YR68
Pumpkins: E35, E41, Y00, Y15, Y19, YG03, YG17, YG63, YR61

​For the backdrop, I cut a panel of the sweet pumpkin pattern from the Critter Country 6x6 Cardstock to layer directly onto my card base. To make my main focal point pop, I die-cut a dark circle using the Zig Zag Circles Dies and heat embossed the 'Trick or Treat!' sentiment along with the delicate spiderweb details in crisp white.

Finally, I arranged and popped up the sweet critter, pumpkins, and little spiders using foam tape. Adding that extra dimension really made this little haunted pumpkin patch come alive!

​And there you have it—a cute and spooky card to kick off October! Happy crafting, everyone!

Beautiful Autumn Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, Tina here, and today I am featuring the cute Beautiful Autumn stamps and dies. This set may be small, but it offers a lot of potential, and it’s a staple in your Fall cardmaking!

You can do many techniques with these stamps, and for this project I used them to create my own custom background with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I started with a piece of white cardstock slightly larger than A2 so die-cutting the panel would be easier. To fill in the blanks, I added smaller leaves from the sweet Turkey Day set. 

Next, I used the outer die of Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace to create my background piece, which I glued to a simple white card base. Before adding any focal point, I wanted to tone down the busy pattern with a rectangle of vellum. Then I created a small grassy border with a die from my stash and some yellow Distress Oxide ink.

To stay with the autumnal vibe, I added three large pumpkins in bright colors (Pumpkin Patch dies) and a cutie from Foxy Friends. I used the Beautiful Autumn sentiment and added it with Versafine Onyx Black ink to a white border. To adhere the vellum, I simply added some glue behind the banner and focal images. I drew some highlights with a white gel pen to finish the project.

Now I am looking forward to seeing your cards with this sweet Beautiful Autumn stamp set! Thank you for joining me, and happy crafting!
