Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Stephanie Isom

Hello friends, Stephanie Isom here with you today and I’m happy to be back on the Sunny Studio blog to share 3 fun holiday cards using stamps and dies from the latest release. 

My first card is a clean and simple design featuring  the gorgeous Pristine Poinsettia and Winter Greenery dies. I love the layers of this beautiful poinsettia. I started with a standard A2 white card base and die cut the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace layer out of white card stock. For the sentiment, I stamped, heat embossed, and die cut Merry Christmas using the Seasons Greetings stamps and coordinating die set. I heat embossed with silver embossing powder. I also die cut the sentiment out of a very thin foam, to make Merry Christmas pop up a little and adhered to the top half of my card.

Next, I die cut the layers of the Pristine Poinsettia and Winter Greenery out of red, silver and green card stock and adhered them to the bottom corner of the card. To finish, I added silver enamel dots around the sentiment. This card is simple and uses classic Holiday colors, and a beautifully scripted sentiment that I just love.

For the next two cards I used cuties from the Christmas Critters stamp and die set. I started with an A2 card base and then cut some 6x6 papers from the All Is Bright pattern paper pack to add  layers. I used the Fancy Frame Rectangles and the Scalloped Tags Circle dies to frame the wreath and little mouse. The scallop circle tag is cut from silver, glitter card stock.  

I stamped, colored and die cut the mouse and wreath and popped them up with foam squares. Next, I stamped Merry Christmas and die cut a banner also from Fancy Frames Rectangles. To finish, I added a few turquoise glitter enamel dots. 

The last card is a slimline size with plenty of cute critter faces. I cut the first layer from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die and then cut 3 squares in the center of that. I used Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides to ink blend and color the background squares. I used white and black inks to add subtle splatters over top of the oxide backgrounds.  

I stamped, colored and die cut the images and adhered them all with foam squares. To complete the card, I used a thin banner die cut from black card stock and white heat embossed the sentiment.  

That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by. And thank you Sunny Studios for letting me play with such delightful stamps and dies and having me as a guest today! Happy Crafting.
