Happy Owlidays Card with Amanda

Hey friends, and welcome back to the Sunny Studio Stamps blog! It’s Amanda here with you today, and I’m so excited to share a sweet little card I created—one that coordinates perfectly with the Trio of Tags I featured in last week’s post!

This time, I switched things up and used the Joyful Holiday paper pack instead of All is Bright that I used for the tags. These two paper packs work so well together ,thanks to their similar color palettes. 

For this card, I really leaned into creating layers—lots and lots of layers! I pulled several patterns from the Joyful Holiday papers and used the Notebook Tabs and Notebook Photo Corners dies to build a playful, dimensional base. 

The soft pink snowy layer might look like patterned paper, but it’s actually a piece of plain white cardstock that I ink blended using Catherine Pooler’s Cotton Candy and It’s a Girl inks. After blending, I added a sprinkle of snowflakes using the Happy Owlidays stamp set. It creates the prettiest, subtle wintery background!

While I had the Happy Owlidays stamps out on my desk, I went ahead and stamped all the adorable little images in the set that I wanted to add to my card. I inked them up in black ink, then colored everything with Copic markers to bring them to life. Once they were all colored, I used the coordinating dies for quick, clean cutting.

The sentiment comes from the Holiday Express stamp set. I stamped it on white cardstock, trimmed it down, and then snipped the ends of the strip with scissors to create a simple banner shape.

With all my pieces ready to go, I started assembling the card using a mix of liquid glue, foam strips, and foam squares. The dimension helps all those layers pop! After everything was in place, I added a touch of sparkle with the Bright Jewels Mix—because no holiday card is complete without a little sparkle!

Thanks so much for spending a bit of crafty time with me today. I’ll be back next week with more festive inspiration! But, you can come back every day for some more holiday inspo from other designers, too!
