Mini Mat & Tag Die Focused Cards by Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here today with a few tropical Christmas projects for everyone living in a sunny, warm climate and everyone who wishes they were! Even though I live in the South, it can still get quite chilly in the winter. We never really know whether Christmas Day will be sunny and 80 or winter, so I always love a little tropical right about now!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Mini Mat & Tag Die Focused Holiday Card and Tags by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring Fabulous Flamingos, Seasonal Trees, Santa Claus Lane, Frilly Frame Dies)

To start this card, I die-cut the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies from white cardstock and adhered the outside frame portion to an A2 card base. I then die-cut the Frilly Frames Herringbone die from white cardstock and adhered the center portion to the card front.

For the background, I cut a piece of white cardstock 2 1/4" x 3 1/2". I masked the bottom 1” of the cardstock and inked the sky with Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon, Saltwater Taffy and Scattered Straw Distress inks. I then masked the sky and inked the water with Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress inks. For the sand, I die-cut the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die from white cardstock and inked the sand portion with Antique Linen Distress ink. I adhered it across the bottom of the cardstock piece and trimmed the excess along the right and left edges. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Surfing Santa Stamps which worked perfectly for my flamingos. I matted the background on a hot pink cardstock.

The Mini Mats are perfect for showcasing small scenes, so I die-cut one from the Mini Mat & Tag 1 Dies from a piece of Critter Country Paper, centered my background piece on the mat and adhered these to the card front.

I stamped all images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I used the following stamps and dies:
Fabulous Flamingos Stamps and Dies
Reindeer Games Stamps and Dies (Santa hats)
Tropical Paradise Stamps and Dies (hibiscus)
Seasonal Trees Stamps and Dies
Santa Claus Lane Stamps (ornaments)

I also die-cut a monstera leaf from the Summer Greenery Dies from white cardstock and colored it with Copics.

I couldn’t resist making a couple of tropical penguin tags to coordinate with my card. These were so fun to make! I die-cut both tags from hot pink cardstock using the Mini Mat & Tag 4 Dies. I also die-cut white cardstock with the tag die and inked backgrounds for each using Tumbled Glass, Scattered Straw and Saltwater Taffy Distress inks. I heat embossed the sentiments which I combined from the Reindeer Games StampsPassionate Penguins StampsSanta Claus Lane Stamps and Penguin Party Stamps. For the ocean wave, I used a Slimline Nature Borders Die and for the sand, I used the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die. I adhered them across the backgrounds, trimmed off the excess on the sides and cut the backgrounds to 2 1/4" long. I then adhered them to the tags.

 

I die-cut bright and cheery papers from the Sweater Weather Paper and used the flower hole reinforcer die from the Mini Mat & Tag 3 Dies to keep with the tropical theme.

 

I stamped all images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I used the following stamps and dies:
Passionate Penguins Stamps and Dies

Penguin Party Stamps and Dies

Tropical Paradise Stamps and Dies

Surfing Santa Stamps and Dies

Hello friends! Bobbi here with tags for the holidays. We add tags to all of our gifts and for the little children’s gifts, I go for bold and colorful prints to make them more youthful and fun for the kids. My tags in these festive colors will coordinate perfectly on my bold gift wraps. I am using the following products by Sunny Studio: Mini Mat & Tag 1 diesMini Mat & Tag 2 diesMini Mat & Tag 3 diesMini Mat & Tag 4 dies.


Sunny Studio Stamps: Mini Mat & Tag Die Focused Holiday Tags by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Snowman Kisses, Reindeer Games)

All four mat/tag die sets create fun and unique shaped tags for the holidays. Even though I could just use the tag dies for a smaller gift tag, I chose to use the matching mats to share here. I love how big the tag is with the mat and how frilly the edges look, too. Because these tags are colorful with the Joyful Holiday Paper, I wanted a white border to make the tag really pop off my gift wrap on the presents.  Note: There are four different mats (one unique one in each set) and I used mat 2 twice, in place of the mat in 1. It was not intentional. They are all so cute!

I used 
Reindeer Games stamps and dies with the Joyful Holiday Paper to make these two tags. I also ink blended the backgrounds with Distress Oxide Inks in greens and blues. Everything was cut out and assembled using Precision Tip Glue and foam tabs. I added a few rhinestones to make the tags sparkle. The snowballs in the Santa tag were made from pure white jewels. I added red garnet rhinestones by the sentiment. The stars in the sky by the reindeer are made with a white pen and iridescent jewels. I used a red twine for the tag string and Liquid Applique for the dimensional fur on Santa’s outfit.

For my next two tags, I used the 
Snowman Kisses stamps and dies for the cute snowman. I used Liquid Applique for the snow around the first snowman. To make the circular opening on the second tag, I used a simple punch. What’s fun is you can use your own punches with these dies to get even more fun looks from these staple sets! More rhinestones accent the right side tag, too!
