For the background, I used the largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies to die cut a piece of white cardstock. I lightly ink blended some Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink onto the center. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the "Holiday Hugs" sentiment from the Holiday Hugs stamp set onto a piece of white cardstock with Versafine Satin Red ink and used the Holiday Hugs Dies to die cut it out.

I adhered the sentiment, bear and back two penguins onto the inked panel with liquid glue. The center penguin and flowers were adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a piece of pink cardstock before it was adhered to a white A2 card base.

Snowmen in Sweaters & Snow One Like You Winter Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi popping in to share some winter-themed holiday cards featuring our Snowmen in Sweaters Stamps and Snow One Like You Stamps. If you are scrambling to finish your holiday cards in time for Christmas, I think sending snowman cards works wonderfully for the entire winter season! Plus, who can resist an adorable snowman? They make me smile every single time.

Sunny Studio Winter Holiday Cards using Snowmen in Sweaters, Snow One Like You, Frosty Flurries Clear Stamps & Craft Dies

My first card showcases four of the cute snowmen from the Snowmen in Sweaters Stamps. For both of my cards today, I stuck with a limited color palette of blue, pink, and green. I have been doing that a lot this season to have two cards to share that coordinate and look pretty together for my main photo, but I've enjoyed creating this way. It streamlines my creative process so I have one less decision to make, and I've been more satisfied with my completed cards that work with a specific color palette. 

Another thing I've really been trying to do is use up leftover stamps and die-cut pieces that didn't make it onto earlier cards, so I used the trees from the Christmas Home Stamps that I popped into my background to add some more complementary green color to pop against my pink sky (inked with Spun Sugar & Picked Rapsberry Distress Inks using the PinkFresh Studio Blending Brushes). I repeatedly stamped and heat-embossed the Frosty Flurries Stamps for my snowfall backdrop in a 2x2 grid pattern. I stamped the "warm winter wishes" greeting from the Snowmen in Sweaters set using PinkFresh Studio Seaside ink and added a snowy hill with the Slimline Nature Border Dies.

For my second card, I used the darling focal point image and sentiment from the Snow One Like You Stamps. I paired the girl and her snowman with the trees from the Winter Scenes Stamps and Snowmen in Sweaters Stamps. I then framed the little vignette with a Scalloped Oval 2 Mat cut from white cardstock and inked in the center with a light dusting of Salty Ocean Distress ink. I then die-cut the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 Dies and inked that up with the same Salty Ocean ink along the edges to tuck below and have peeking out of the eyelet lace holes of my first scalloped frame. I inked up a piece of pale pink cardstock with a light amount of Picked Raspberry Distress ink and then heat-embossed the swiss dot print using the Background Basics 2 Stamps. Lastly, I heat embossed the greeting from the set onto a Brilliant Banner 2 Die inked to match the same Salty Ocean pale blue color. The greeting included the word "else" but it made the sentiment too long to fit comfortably on my banner, so I pulled out my scissors to carefully cut the two words apart. It's extremely easy to line them back together the next time I use them, but it gave me the flexibility I needed for this card.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. ðŸ’›

Feeling Frosty & Snowman Kisses Winter Holiday Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi popping in to share some winter-themed holiday cards featuring our Feeling Frosty Stamps and Snowman Kisses Stamps. If you are scrambling to finish up your holiday cards but are worried you won't get them done before Christmas, snowman cards work great all winter long.

Sunny Studio Rainbow Snowmen Holiday Christmas Cards using Feeling Frosty & Snowman Kisses Clear Stamps, Craft Dies & Stencil

My first card showcases three of the six snowmen from the Feeling Frosty Stamps. I paired them with the stylized tree from the set, colored with Copic Markers in frosty blue tones and topped with Stickles Stardust Glitter. For the backdrop behind them, I inked in two of the three layers of the Forest Trees Stencils using Tumbled Glass & Salty Ocean Distress inks. Lastly, I rounded the bottom two corners of my card using a corner rounder. This card was very easy to color and came together quite quickly, especially when using my heat gun to speed up the Stickles drying time.

For my second card, I paired the snowmen from both the Feeling Frosty Stamps and Snowman Kisses Stamps to form a rainbow slimline card by coloring each snowman's snowy gear in monochromatic colors. For the base of my 9" wide x 4" high card, I started by inking the background using a light touch of Salty Ocean Distress ink. I then layered on a snowy stitched hillside using the Slimline Nature Border Dies, where I lined up my snowmen to match the hill's curve. Once I had all my snowmen in place, I added four speech bubbles above them from the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies. I added greetings to each of the bubbles from the Feeling Frosty set and the "sending hugs" sentiment from the Alpaca Holiday Stamps using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. At this point, my card felt a little flat to me, like it was missing something, so I pulled out the snowflakes from the Snowflake Circle Frame Dies to cut one from each color of cardstock to match the snowmen.
