Snowman Kisses Cards with Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a card today with my favorite non-traditional Holiday season colors. I love how well they worked with the Snowman Kisses Stamps giving it a playful, dreamy feel!

I began inking the sky on a 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” piece of Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock using Saltwater Taffy, Speckled Egg and Evergreen Bough Distress inks. I splattered a little watered down white acrylic paint with a paintbrush and adhered this panel to an A2 card base. For the snow drifts, I cut 2 pieces of white cardstock (2” x 5 1/2" and 1 1/4" x 5 1/2") and die-cut the top edge of both pieces using a Slimline Nature Borders Die. I adhered these to the bottom of the card front.

Next, I heat embossed the Happy Holidays sentiment from the Holiday Greetings Stamps on white cardstock using Ranger Aqua Tinsel embossing powder and die-cut it using the coordinating dies. I also heat embossed snowflakes from the Snowman Kisses Stamps on Evergreen Bough inked cardstock, die-cut them with the coordinating dies and adhered them around the sky.

I stamped all of the images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock and colored them with Copics. I used 2 trees from the Seasonal Trees Stamps and their coordinating dies in my scene and added ornaments to one tree from the Cozy Christmas Stamps and coordinating dies. After adding the happy adorable snowmen from the Snowman Kisses Stamps, I decided to include a few little birdie friends from the Seasonal Trees Stamps. They all look so full of joy!

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Hi crafty friends! It’s Bobbi sharing a holiday card featuring the Snowman Kisses stamp set and coordinating diesThis stamp set just makes me happy. How cute are these snowmen?! I paired this set with the Scenic Route Stamps and coordinating dies and the Forest Trees Stencil set.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Snowman Kisses Winter Themed Holiday Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Scenic Route, Forest Tree Stencils)

For this 5″ X 7″ card, I used a combination of pinks, lavenders and blue violets for this color story. I started with a card front panel and card base made from 80lb Neenah Solar White cardstock. I used the Forest Trees Stencil set to add trees to the background. Using a blending brush, I stenciled two layers of trees in Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink in the far background and Kitch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink in the forest foreground. I ink blended Shaded Lilac and Broken China (very light touch) on the top of the front for the sky. I used my Gelly Roll white pen and my Copics to add white and blue-violet dots in the sky to make it look like snow is falling.

Next, I stamped the snowmen and the Scenic Route scene, including the string of lights on separate cardstock and die cut them using their coordinating dies. I colored them using pinks, lavenders, purples and blue violets using Copic Markers:

Red-Violets: RV09, RV55, RV02, RV0
Violets: V09, V04, V12
Blue-Violet: BV000,
Yellow-Green: YG67, YG03
Cool Grays: C3, C1, and Black 100

In keeping with the color combination, I used blue-violet markers for all the shading around the snowmen and trees and for the falling snowflakes. The only exception to the colors listed above is the string of lights. I used bright and festive colors to color in the tiny light bulbs including yellow, orange, teal, etc.

I attached the snowy hill image in the foreground and added the snowmen. Because my card is an A7 size versus A2, the string of lights do not reach from side to side on my card front.  To make them work, I hand drew some wood posts to attach the string lights to at the top to make it fit my wider card.  I placed the posts and lights in the scene and glued everything in place. I added white accents to the trees and more falling snow right on the snowmen and scene. Finally, I stamped the sentiment at the bottom to finish this holiday card.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cozy Christmas Cards with Anja Bytyqi

Hi everyone, Anja here with you today. I'm so happy to be back again as a guest on the Sunny Studio Blog. Today I'm showcasing the wonderful Cozy Christmas Stamps from the latest Holiday Release.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Cozy Christmas Holiday Card by Anja Bytyqi (featuring Stitched Rectangle Dies)

On my first sample, I used the stamps for a non-holiday card and created a sweet little living room scene.

First, I started off with a white A2 card base and die cut the largest of the Stitched Rectangle Dies from light blue cardstock. In the next step, I die cut the stitched scalloped mat from the Mini Mat & Tag 3 Dies set out of white cardstock. I masked off the scallop border as well as the stitching and did some ink blending with Distress Oxide Inks. For the wall background, I blended on Tattered Rose and a little bit of Saltwater Taffy. The floor was done in Pumice Stone. I let it dry completely and stamped one of the Penguin Party sentiments in VersaMark Ink. I heat embossed it with Ranger Platinum Embossing Powder. For a bit of dimension, I popped up the scalloped mat with foam tape.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. On the armchair, I did some Paper Piecing with blue gingham paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper Pack. I also created a little rug from a piece of Flirty Flowers patterned paper. Finally, I assembled the scene by adhering the images and floral rug with liquid glue and adding a red enamel heart next to the heat embossed sentiment.

The second sample just had to be a holiday card and I really wanted to use the comfy sofa.

I created a landscape A2 card base from white cardstock and covered the front with a striped Joyful Holiday paper. I cut the largest of the Stitched Oval 2 Dies from white cardstock. I also used it on a piece of woodgrain patterned paper (Subtle Grey Tones Paper Pack) and a thin white cardstock strip. In the background, I did some faded ink blending with Tumbled Glass and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink. Then, I adhered the woodgrain floor and white strip to the bottom half of the oval. I stamped the sentiment on top using aqua blue pigment ink.

The images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic markers. I paper pieced the pillows and cut everything out with the coordinating dies. I adhered the images to finish off the scene and applied some Crystal Stickles to the white parts of the christmas tree decor.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a cozy weekend!

Holiday Greetings Cards with Vanessa and Tina

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a pink holiday card using the Holiday Greetings set.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Holiday Greetings Winter Themed Holiday Card by Vanessa Menhorn (featuring Snowman Kisses, Forest Tree Stencils)

I started with a panel of white cardstock and masked off a hill on the bottom of the panel. Now I applied Kitsch Flamingo, Festive Berries and Picked Raspberries Distress Oxide Inks using the Forest Trees Stencils. After I had removed the mask, I adhered the panel to my card base.

Then I stamped the snowmen from Snowman Kisses, colored the images with Copics, die-cut the pieces with the matching dies and adhered the elements to the card with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment, inking the stamp with red and pink inks, die-cut it and adhered it to the front. Finally, I added snow with a white gel pen.

Do you like pinks for holiday cards? Have a lovely weekend :)

Hello crafty friends, Tina here with a sweet mini slimline Christmas card featuring the new Holiday Greetings stamp and die set! I love the size and the beautiful font of these sentiments!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Holiday Greetings Winter Themed Holiday Card by Tina (featuring Country Scenes, Winter Scenes, Penguin Party)

Today we are creating an arctic scene for the cute penguins from the Penguin Pals set. First, I die cut two mini slimline rectangles out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. One of these was used to create two snowy hills for my front panel.

On the second rectangle I stamped a mountain range from Country Scenes. However, the mountains come with a pine border that I masked off since we are going for a South Pole look. To complete the scene I also stamped and die cut the igloo from Winter Scenes and three adorable penguins from the Penguin Pals set. All the images were colored with Copic markers, and I added tons of snowflakes with a white gel pen.

The sky of the card panel and the two snowy hills were inked with Distress Oxides, and covered with white snowflakes. To get a ‘frosty’ look, I added some white glitter and mica flakes to the mountain tops, igloo, snow banks and icy block.

I stamped one of the sentiments from the Holiday Greetings stamp in pink and used the die set to cut it out. To create dimension, I cut two extra sentiment layers from with card stock and stacked them all together with liquid glue.

To assemble the card, I added the two snowy hills to the panel and adhered my images and sentiment. I glued my card panel to a white lacy rectangle and mounted it to a card base. As embellishment I added a few of the Pure White Jewels scattered around the sentiment.

And that finishes my artic scene card! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and happy crafting!

Reindeer Games Cards with Marine and Waleska

Hi crafty friends, Marine here with a new interactive card showcasing Santa and the reindeers on gift delivery duty during Christmas night. I had so much fun creating this card, and as always I searched through my Sunny Studio collection to see which images would fit in the scene I had in mind. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Reindeer Games Holiday Card by Marine Simon (featuring Santa Claus Lane, Slimline Dies, Scalloped Circle Mat Dies)

So we have:
the reindeers, hats presents and greetings from Reindeer Games
the snowflakes from Snowman Kisses
the nice list from North Pole
the sleigh, candy cane, sack and Santa from Santa Claus Lane
the carrots from Bunnyville (to feed the reindeers ^^)

Sunny Studio Stamps: Reindeer Games Holiday Card by Marine Simon (featuring Santa Claus Lane, Slimline Dies, Scalloped Circle Mat Dies)

The first thing I did was to stamp all my cute images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the coordinating dies, and used alcohol markers to color everything.

Next I cut two 8,5" x 3,5" bristol panels. I used the first panel to cut a cloud border using a die from the Slimline Nature Borders die set. I added a little of color using salvaged patina oxide ink, and stamped my "Have a super jolly Christmas" greeting in the left hand side corner. And I used the second panel to make a bright blue sky using salvaged patina, peacock feathers and blueprint sketch oxide inks.

I set everything aside to dry and then created the interactive feature using the largest die from the Scalloped Circle Mat 1 die. And I invite you to watch the process video down below because it's always easier to understand how an interactive card was made with images.

I finished the card by adding snowflakes here and there, highlights and details using a white gel pen, and finally a dot of glossy accents on Rudolph's red nose to make it glow.

And that's it! Super cute and easy to put together, I hope that this will inspire you to make your own version, with or without the interactive feature, the most important is to have fun! Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next week! 

---------------------------------------------------

Hello Friends, Waleska here. Have you seen the Santa and reindeers from the Reindeer Games stamp set? They are ready to deliver lots of fun this holiday season. This cute stamp includes five unique reindeer, I love each of them. They all have a different attitude. For my card today I will be using only one of them, but I will definitely make much more reindeer cards with all of them!


Sunny Studio Stamps: Reindeer Games Holiday Card by Waleska Galindo (featuring Winter Scenes)

I wanted to create an air view card of this fun reindeers delivering lots of presents. I started with the background, I stamped the trees of the Winter Scenes Stamp at the bottom of this panel and colored them with copic markers G09/YG07, I made a mask for them and then I colored the winter sky with Oxide Inks Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Chipped Sapphire. I stamped and colored the flying reindeer with E29/E27/E19/E15/E13 and adhere them, of course Rudolph is leading the way!

I finally added the sentiment with white embossing powder and some white snowflakes, such a magical and fun scene! I adhere this panel to a red panel and to a kraft card base.

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