Holiday Express Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you today and I am sharing a fun slimline Christmas card featuring the adorable Holiday Express set. The sleigh was overdue for some maintenance work and the reindeer are getting some much-needed rest. This year Santa decided to take the train and enlist the help of some of the cutest penguins to make the Christmas deliveries. So, let’s get started.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Holiday Express Christmas Card by Hanh Nguyen (featuring Basic Mini Shape Dies, Slimline Nature Border Dies)

I stamped the super cute images from the Holiday Express Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Holiday Express Dies to die cut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Santa: E000/00/21/11/93, R24, W5, W00/0/1
Penguins: T3/4/5/7, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R20
Hats: R22/24/29, C0/1
Santa’s mittens: W5/7
Train: R22/24/29/39, C1/3/5, W7, YG03, Y13/15
Bow: YG01/03/17
Bell: Y13/15/19
Hollies: R24/29, YG01/03/25
Gifts: R22/24, YG01/03/25, B000/00/02
Trees: YG01/03/25/17

For the background, I ink blended some Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I added some white acrylic paint for snow.

Next, I used the Slimline Nature Borders Dies to trim a snow bank out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I stamped the “Christmas wishes coming your way!” from the Holiday Express Stamps set directly onto the panel with Versafine Satin Red and Memento Tuxedo Black inks. I adhered the panel onto the inked panel.

The colored images were adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. I adhered the panel onto a piece of red cardstock before adhering it to a white slimline card base (8.5” x 3.75”). I finished the card with a few snowflakes diecut using the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2 and Basic Mini Shape Dies 5.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. Be sure to check out the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.
