Let's Chill Card with Tina: Black Friday Exclusive!

Hello crafters, it is Tina with a cute Holiday card in which the two adorable seals from Let’s Chill are the stars of the show! This set is a Black Friday gift, with purchase exclusive and it is not for sale.

My design is a shaped card using the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies. After cutting a panel from white card stock, I used the same die to create my card base. For a bold and dramatic background I blended Broken China and Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxides and I was pleasantly surprised to see how well they work together! I splattered the panel with water and white paint and put it aside to dry.

Next, I stamped and cut the two cute seals and also two ice blocks (Bear Hugs, Winter Scenes) for them to sit on. As usual, I colored with my Copics and added white gel pen accents.

My sentiment is a large ‘Merry Christmas’ from the Holiday Greetings stamp and die set. I love the scripty font and also the size, it fills the complete sky portion of this card. After putting the seals in place with foam tape, I adhered the sentiment (I cut three layers and glued them together for dimension).

To add extra icy elements, I sprinkled white snowflakes across the scene. These were cut with an all-time favorite die (Snowflake Circle Frame) which I use a lot in my Christmas card making. I glued some Iridescent Clear Jewels to center of the snowflakes for that extra festive bling!

This card was so fun to make, and I hope it inspired you to create a project with this sweet set! Happy crafting!

Panda Party Cards with Bobbi and Cathy

Hello Sunny friends. It’s Bobbi sharing a Panda Party in the forest! Panda bears are known to live in the mountainous, bamboo forests of China and feast on bamboo. Did you know that in a single day, a panda can eat between 20 to 30 pounds of bamboo? After learning this, I decided to surround these cute bears in their favorite habitat, a rocky environment surrounded by bamboo. I'm using the new Panda Party stamp set  and coordinating dies by Sunny Studio Stamps. 

To create this A2-sized card, I used Neenah 80lb cardstock for the card base and card front panel. I blended on green ink using Ranger Distress Oxide Inks in Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint and Rustic Wilderness. I used blender brushes to apply green all around the outer edge of the card front panel. Next, I free-handed some simple bamboo trees/plants to the background using Copic Markers in YG99, YG95, YG93, (for the trunks) E44 (branches) and YG67 (leaves).

To create a foreground area for my pandas, I added a grassy border at the bottom of the front panel. This also allowed me to tuck in some rocky surfaces behind the grassy area. I hand cut both the rocks (from two colors of gray) and the tall grasses.

Every party needs some pandas so I added in a number of the bears from the set to the scene. Colorful party hats and pennant banners decorate the party scene in vivid blues, yellows, and oranges. I used YR09, YR68, B05, B04, B02, Y15, Y08, C3 and C1 Copic colors. I had an open space in the middle of the scene and thought the one standing bear should have a balloon in hand so I punched out a 3/4″ circle from red cardstock and added shadowing, highlights and a string using my white Gelly Roll pen, black marker and Copic R29 marker.

This set has some really unique and fun panda-themed sentiments so I stamped a few inside. I also had an extra panda and banner so I added both above the phrases to keep the fun going inside, too!

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a cute and fun birthday card featuring the new Panda Party Stamps!

 

To start this card, I cut a piece of white cardstock 3 1/2" x 4 1/4" and created a confetti effect by splattering a little watered down Distress inks with a paintbrush. I used Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, Fossilized Amber and Twisted Citron. I heat embossed the sentiment in the upper right corner and adhered this piece to the top of an A2 card base.

 

Next, I cut a piece of patterned paper from the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones Paper 2” x 4 1/4" and adhered it to the bottom of the card front. I then cut 1” x 4 1/4" strips from 3 more of the papers and die-cut the bottom edge of each using one of the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I overlapped and adhered these pieces below the white cardstock. I used the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies again to die-cut a piece of black cardstock, cut it to 4 1/4" long and adhered it across the bottom of the white cardstock.

 

For the present, I cut a rectangle 1” x 1 1/4" from white cardstock and die-cut a bow using the Sweet Treat House Add-on Dies. I used the windowpane portion of the Wonderful Windows Dies for the ribbon, adhered the die-cut piece to the rectangle and trimmed off the excess along the edges. I colored these elements with Copics.

 

To finish, I stamped the images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I used the following stamps and dies:

Panda Party Stamps and Dies

Bear Hugs Stamps and Dies (balloons)

Holiday Gift Tags with Bobbi and Cathy

Have you hung your stockings by the chimney with care? It’s Bobbi here with two stockings to hang, but these are for hanging on your gifts! Every year we hang stockings on our fireplace and fill them with little items for the twins. Those are the first gifts they open on Christmas day. Sometimes the little gifts are too big for the stocking so these tags will be perfect to use. 

The first stocking is made from coordinated pattern papers from the Joyful Holiday Paper Pack. It features a large, stamped Holiday Greetings stamp sentiment, cut out using the coordinating dies. I added the holly and bow from the Santa's Stocking die set and a few peppermint candies using dies from the Gingerbread House die set. I embossed the white 80lb Neenah Solar White cardstock accent pieces – reinforced toe, heel and top stocking band – using the Cable Knit Embossing Folder. How cute is that cable knit design?!

I added red faux stitching on the white accent pieces (so you could see it) and stitched the outer edges using white thread and my sewing machine. Because this stocking is larger, I wanted to avoid having to turn the tag over when on the gift. Instead, I attached the smallest tag from the Stitched Arch Dies to the holly bouquet at the band and stamped a “to/from” on the tag in black. The “to/from” stamps are from the Season’s Greetings Sentiments stamp set. There are several styles to choose from which are really awesome to have for your tags.

For my second stocking, I used many of the same products to create this festive tag. Notice the tab for hanging the stocking at the top. I simply cut a strip from the two-sided pattern paper and attached it with glue. Both stockings have a white die cut backing, allowing the tab to be glued between the stocking die cuts for a clean finish.

The candy canes, holly and berries are part of the Santa's Stockings die set. I added another to/from tag to the candy cane accent. These stockings are adorable and big enough to add names to the band to personalize. Keep the top open and it becomes a festive gift card holder, too!

Hey friends! Cathy here today and with Christmas just days away, I’m sharing some cute and quick-to-make gift tags!

For these tags, I’ve used the Mini Mat & Tag 1 Dies and I started by die-cutting the tag from a medium weight light gray cardstock for a little extra stability. Next, I die-cut the tag again from white cardstock and inked a sky with Speckled Egg Distress ink. I heat embossed a sentiment on each tag using the Lazy Christmas Stamps, Penguin Party Stamps, and Bear Hugs Stamps. I cut the bottom scalloped portion of the tags off and adhered them to the gray tag bases.

 

Next, I die-cut patterned papers from the All is Bright Paper and Joyful Holiday Paper using the thin strip and tag topper dies and adhered them to the tags. For the snowdrift on each tag, I die-cut the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die 3 times from white cardstock, adhered a “sand” portion of the die-cut across the bottom of each tag and trimmed the excess from the sides of the tags.

 

I stamped the polar bears from the Bear Hugs Stamps and the Santa hats from the Reindeer Games Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and fussy cut each image. Those little Santa hats fit so many Sunny Studio critters and look so cute!

 

To finish, I die-cut hole protectors from gray cardstock using a die from the Mini Mat & Tag 4 Dies and tied some sparkly ribbon to each tag. I stamped some holly and berries from the Holiday Greetings Stamps, die-cut them using the coordinating dies and adhered them to the top of each tag. For a little extra bling, I adhered Pure White Jewels over the holes on each tag topper.
