Hi you! It's Jarle here, with my very first post as a member of the Sunny Studio Stamps Design Team. I am excited to be here and I hope to inspire you with my projects. Today I am using the beautiful Nativity Scene Builder die set. 

I started by inking up my A2 panel with different Distress Oxide colors: Squeezed Lemonade, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet, and Blueprint Sketch. I splattered on some Copic white, diluted with water, and let it dry. 

I trimmed a panel out of Brushed Gold cardstock from Spellbinders to A2 size. I then used the Rounded Rectangle Window dies to die-cut a window out of that same panel. This gives a lovely stitching detail to the frame. Since I really love dimension on handmade cards, I put foam strips on the back of that frame and popped it on the ink-blended panel. 

I die-cut different pieces of the Nativity set in black and (the same) brushed gold cardstock. I assembled all the pieces inside the window. Some were popped up with foam squares and others were adhered directly onto the panel with liquid glue. 

After that, I stamped my sentiment of the Build-A-Greeting: Holidays stamp set onto black cardstock with Versamark ink, sprinkled on white embossing powder, and heat-set it with my heat gun. I trimmed it down to a small strip and placed it inside my scene. Finally, I adhered the whole panel to a white card base. 

I like how the colors turned out, and those silhouettes just make the perfect elegant Christmas card! Have a beautiful day!

Alpine Adventure Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing a winter scene shaker card featuring the new Alpine Adventure set.

I started by creating the ice pong. I took a piece of blue cardstock, approximately half the size of my card, and blended the edges with some blue ink. I then wrapped a piece of plastic around it. I always use plastic sheet protectors for this, as they are easy to work with, and perfect for making infinity shaker elements.

Just before sealing the final edge, I added some flat shaker material inside. Once everything was securely closed, I adhered the ice to the bottom half of my card base. For the bright blue sky, I used patterned paper from the Spring Sunburst Paper Pad and adhered it to the top half of the card base.

Next, I stamped and die-cut the Alpine Adventure background stamp. Since I wanted the ice to be a shaker element, I cut away the area where the ice would be by hand. I trimmed the edges so that the background would fit perfectly on the card.

Of course, no winter scene would be complete without some cute penguins! I stamped the adorable penguin images and colored all of the images using my Ohuhu markers and added some white highlights with a white gel pen.

Once everything was colored and ready, I adhered all the elements to the card, building up the scene around the skating penguins.

As a final touch, I added some glitter gel to the snow surrounding the ice pond. It gives the snow a lovely sparkle and adds that extra bit of winter magic to the finished card.

Cards done, ready to send joy!

Holiday Tags & Labels Card with Yan

Hey crafty friends! It's Yan here, and I'm so excited to share a cozy holiday card that got me right into the festive spirit! Today, I’m playing with the adorable Holiday Tags & Labels Stamps from Sunny Studio Stamps' brand-new release. This project came together so smoothly, and mixing it with a few sweet hedgehogs made it absolute fun to create. Grab a warm cup of coffee, and let's dive into how I made it!

​To kick things off, I stamped the tag frame from the Holiday Tags & Labels Stamps using a couple of bright red inks to give them a festive pop. Then, I directly stamped those darling hedgehogs from the Quill Cuties Stamps right inside the frames using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Coloring these little critters with Copic markers is always my favorite part—I added warm browns and sweet pinks to give them lots of personality! Once I finished coloring, I lined up the coordinating Holiday Tags & Labels Dies and cut them out.

​COPIC COLORS:
Hedgehogs: E18, E31, E35, E41, R30
Red/Pink : R30, R32 R43 
Green: YG03, YG17, G19

Next, I die-cut a few additional ornament bases out of bold red cardstock and delicate vellum paper using the Holiday Tags & Labels Dies. For the background, I wanted to keep things clean and soft, so I used the Icing Rectangle Frame Dies to cut a crisp panel from the Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 Paper.

​For the sentiment, I heat-embossed the greeting from the Holiday Greetings Stamps in crisp white embossing powder onto a strip of vellum paper and die-cut it with the matching die. Finally, I assembled all the cute layers, Christmas ornaments, and sentiment using foam tape to give the whole layout plenty of fun dimension and depth!

​I hope this card brings a little warmth and festive cheer to your day! Thanks for stopping by, and happy crafting!

Pathway Home Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and I always love beautiful scene cards. The Pathway Home stamp and die set is a great staple to have in your stash because it is so versatile.

A whole scene is ready for you to create with and the matching dies make it super easy to add any background you want. Today I opted for a partial landscape on this sweet autumnal card. After stamping the house and cute raccoon, I also added some pumpkins from Turkey Day. I settled down, put on my favourite music and enjoyed the coloring with my Copic markers. 

Next, I tried several sizes of the Rounded Rectangle Mat dies to figure out which one would be the perfect match. For some extra contrast, I also cut a slightly larger mat from a green Polka-Dot-Parade paper. Then I glued both rectangle mats to a white card base with liquid glue. I added the cute raccoon and pumpkins with some foam tape for dimension.

The sentiment was taken from the Inside Greetings Congrats set and stamped on a small white banner with Versafine Onyx Black ink. This scene card only needed some subtle embellishments, so I went with a few Champagne Clear Jewels.

Now I am curious to see all your takes on this beautiful background stamp and die set! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Nativity Scene Builder Card with Marieke

Hello all, Marieke here. I'm back again with my weekly post for Sunny Studio Stamps. Today I hope to inspire you with a card that I made using the Nativity Scene Builder Dies.

So for this project I thought it would be fun to create a light up card. So for this to work I cut a black and a white scalloped rectangle using the Frilly Frames Hexagon dies. Scored one at 1 1/2 inch and adhered them together. This is the base of the card. Cut a slightly smaller watercolor panel and decided where I wanted the light to be placed.

Die cut a circle out of the rectangle and ink blended the top of the card using Dried Marigold, Seedles Preserves and Black Soot. Splattered some water and cut a black strip of cardstock. Decided where the light up button was going to be and heat set the "press" using gold embossing powder.

Cut a watercolor rectangle, placed this on the front of the base card and traced the outside on the card and added the inked panel on to. Traced the circle on the watercolor panel and ink blended it using Scattered Straw.

Die cut all the elements of the scene using black cardstock and gold Glitter cardstock with the Nativity Scene Builder Dies. Placed the scene so I knew where I wanted to place the sentiment. Stamped the sentiment out of the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp directly on a small inked rectangle.

Glued the small rectangle on the base cardstock, decided where the light element needed to go and adhered it to the base. Assembled the elements on the front of the card and finished the card by adding some gold stars.

Have a wonderful day!

Sleigh Ride Surprise Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I’m sharing a fun and festive Christmas card using the Sleigh Ride Surprise Dies set from the brand-new Holiday 2026 Collection!

This die set is so much fun with lots of awesome details! I paired it with some cute penguins from the Penguin Party set! I used pink, red, turquoise, yellow, orange, brown and green ink and liquid glue for this project! I started off by trimming a piece of red patterned paper, the one with the snowflakes and stars from the Joyful Holiday Paper pack to 4,25 x 5,5 inches and adhered it to my A2 size card base.

I then trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3,50 x 4,75 inches and masked off 0,75 inches from the bottom (portrait mode) using masking tape and ink blended the remaining part of the panel with pink ink and splattered gold watercolor to it! Next, I trimmed a slightly larger black panel to go behind my ink blended panel and adhered them to the card base, using double sided tape.

From white card stock I trimmed smaller pieces and ink blended them with my chosen colors. I then die cut out the tree, ornaments, gift boxes, light bulbs, the sack (I used kraft paper for the sack) and the sled using the Sleigh Ride Surprise Dies set.

From gold card stock, I die-cut out the top star for the tree, the bows and ribbons for the Christmas gifts, the runners for the sled, and the suspension wire for the light bulbs, also from the Sleigh Ride Surprise Dies set. Using liquid glue, I assembled the different elements.

Next, I stamped the penguins from the Penguin Party Stamps set on alcohol ink-friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Copic Markers; see list below. I then die-cut them out using the coordinating Penguin Party Dies.

Copic colors used:
Penguins: N3/4/6/8, R30, W0/1
Santa´s hats/scarf: R22/24/27
Gift box: R22/24/27 Ribbon/bow: BG10/11/13

Next, I stamped the sentiment “Hope your holiday is fun & festive” from the Penguin Party Stamps set in the upper-right corner of the ink-blended panel. I added foam dots to the die-cut pieces, arranged my scene, and adhered them to the ink-blended panel!

Thank you for stopping by! Wishing you a happy and colorful day!

Pathway Home Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you today, and I am so excited to share a card featuring the brand-new Pathway Home set from the Holiday Release. Have you seen all of the amazing new products? The Pathway Home Stamp and Dies set is especially versatile in that it can be used for different seasons as well as different sizes and orientations of cards. Another super cool aspect of this set is that there is a die that can die-cut the top edge of the scene. This unique feature of the die set was just perfect for my easel card today. So let’s get started.

I stamped the background and the adorable additional images from the Pathway Home Stamps, some birds from the Foxy Friends Stamps, and the cloud from the Tulip Path Background Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I decided to stamp some apples directly onto the trees so as to not have the white outlines from the die cutting. I used the coordinating Pathway Home Dies, Foxy Friends Dies, and Tulip Path Background Dies to die-cut them out. I also used the Gift Card Envelope Dies to die-cut a heart for the front door. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Squirrels: E000/00/21, E53/33/35/37, R00/20
Birds: Y11/13/15/19, Y38, R20
Trees: YG01/03/25, E33/23/25
Apples: R20/14/24/29, YG03
Acorn: E21/23/27, E00/21/11
Bushes/Plants: YG01/03/25/17
House: YR21/24/27, E21, E34, Y02, C1/3
Heart: R24
Fence: C1/3
Pathway: W0
Steps: W1
Rocks: W0/1/3/5
Grass: YG01/03
Cloud: B0000/000

For the easel base card, I took a piece of white cardstock (5.5” x 11”) and used a score board to score at the 2.25” and 5.5” marks. I folded on the score lines to create a top-folding 5.5” square card with a score line across the front panel. Next, I took a piece of light blue cardstock (5.5” x 3.25””) and adhered it to the top portion of the front panel — this should just cover the top of the card to the score line. Then I adhered the bottom of my colored background panel to the bottom portion of the front panel — be sure to only place adhesive onto the exposed white portion of the front panel (and not the blue part) so as to not interfere with the easel mechanism. I adhered the cloud to the blue panel.

For the sentiment, I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to die-cut the banner die 3 times out of red cardstock. I stamped the “home” sentiment from the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamps and the “sweet” from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto the banner and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I layered and adhered the additional two banners to the back of the embossed banner to give it some bulk since it will be the stopper for my easel design. Finally, I adhered the sentiment banner to the inside of the card.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and are inspired to create your own easel card with this new Pathway Home set.
