Christmas Critters Cards with Marine and Anja

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back today with an interactive card featuring a cute kitty from Christmas Critters. Obviously it's a Christmas themed stamp set, but I like to use my supplies in different ways, and today happens to be my birthday as well, so I thought it would be fun to use this Christmas themed stamp set to create a birthday card.

As always I stamped my images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and then colored everything using my alcohol markers. And to make this card super happy and bright, I used rainbow colors to color the banners and the presents.

After the coloring, I moved on to the background. I cut a 5-3/4 x 2-3/4 inches bristol panel, and with the colorful images, I decided to keep this background pretty neutral so I covered it with tumbled glass distress ink. I added a few drops of copic opaque white ink mixed with water, as well as splatters of tumbled glass distress ink mixed with water.

Once the panel was dry, I created the interactive feature, and I invited you to click on the last image down below to watch the process video. I always easier to understand with images. So once the kitty was finally in its box, I attached the other presents using foam squares, and then the banners at the top and the party hats here and there around the presents.

I stamped my sentiment "Happy Birthday" from Barnyard Buddies below the presents using black ink, and then I cut a 6 x 3 inches panel using a paper from the Spring Sunburst paper pack. I stuck this rainbow panel on top of a light blue card base, and then I attached my interactive panel on top using foam tape.

As always I added highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen, and to finish this birthday card and make it even more happy and festive, I glued a whole bunch of jewels all around the presents.

Hi everyone, Anja here with my final holiday card of the year. Today, we are featuring the cute Christmas Critters Stamps.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Christmas Critters Christmas Card by Anja Bytyqi (featuring Frilly Frame Dies, Fancy Frame Dies, Inside Greetings)

I started off with an A2 card base made from white cardstock. The gorgeous floral patterned paper is from the All Is Bright 6x6 Paper pack and I cut it out with the stitched rectangle mat die included in the Frilly Frames Retro Petals set. Since the paper is quite busy, I also die cut a white cardstock circle and one of the stitched scalloped Fancy Frames Circles from aqua cardstock.

Next, I stamped the sweet little mouse, deer antlers and wreath in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images and adhered them with foam tape to the center of the framed circle.

The sentiment from the Inside Greetings Holiday set was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto pink cardstock. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder and cut out a banner with one of the Banner Basics Dies. To create the right width, I used partial die cutting. I die cut a white stitched strip with the smallest Slimline Pennant Dies to go behind the sentiment banner which I popped up with foam tape as well.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Merry Christmas to everyone!
