Merry Mice Card with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and I am super excited to show you my first Christmas card of the year! How fun is it to add lots of snow to your projects or make them sparkle and shine! You know I love cute critters and today is no exception, we are featuring the cute images from Merry Mice and it’s coordinating dies.

As usual, I started with a white card base and cut an extra panel with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron. Next, I created my focal point for the snowy scene and die cut a window with the second largest of the Stitched Arched dies. I set this piece aside for another project.

For extra dimension, I ran the chevron panel again through the die cutting machine with the Dapper Diamonds embossing folder. Fun fact about this method is that you can reverse the panel and get a totally different look, and that is what I did today.

To create the sky and snow banks I used extra pieces of white card stock slightly bigger that the arched frame. I finally decided to use my Distress Mica Stain in the color Snow Flurries which has been in my stash for a while now. The result is a beautiful shiny sky, but you can also use any Distress Oxide inks that you have and a shimmer spray. I glued the snow banks and sky piece to the back of the diamond panel and added the whole to my card base.

After selecting the images from the adorable Merry Mice set, I started coloring with my Copics. I went with yellow, pink and blue shades which go well with the background.  

Next, I mounted the images into the scene with foam tape. The sentiment was taken from the Inside Greetings Holiday set (they also work great on the outside of a card!) and stamped onto a Brilliant Banner 4 piece with a blue ink from my stash. Lastly, I added a few Champagne Clear Jewels for that extra shimmer and shine.

I can’t wait to see all your wonderful Christmas cards! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Bountiful Autumn & Turkey Day Thanksgiving Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fall cards featuring our Bountiful Autumn Stamps and Turkey Day Stamps.

For my first card today, I created a mini slimline card measuring 3-1/2" wide x 6-3/8" high using the stitched mat die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. I was able to shorten the length by running it through my die-cutting machine a second time. Since we don't have any patterned papers that exceed 6" wide, I decided to use the repeating polka-dot border from the Background Basics 2 Stamps (pictured above) with Gina K Sweet Mango Ink. I love how these can be used to stamp a card background of almost any size. To frame my two mini scenes, I cut two circles from white cardstock using the Stitched Circle Large Dies and then grounded the scenes with pennants from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies, which I had also shortened a bit by running them through my die-cutting machine a second time. I embellished my small scenes using the turkeys, cornucopia, vegetables, and pie from the Bountiful Autumn Stamps and then heat-embossed the greetings from the Turkey Day Stamps.

 

For my second card, I created a larger slimline card sized 8-1/2" wide x 4" high. Because once again, a single sheet of 6x6 Sweater Weather Paper wouldn't adequately cover my full background, I decided to die-cut several different colors into 5/8" wide stitched strips using the smallest pennant die from the Slimline Pennant Dies set. I then found the center of the card (cutting 14 strips in total) and positioned the green and teal strips on either side of the center line, working out towards both ends until my entire card front was covered with a striped print. At that point, it was super easy to use my paper trimmer to trim off any excess overhang, which is always so satisfying!

To create the look of three polaroid photos, I used the smallest rectangle in the Stitched Rectangle Dies, shortening them again with a second pass through the die-cutting machine, at the same time as positioning a 2" square die from the Stitched Square Dies to form an opening for each little "picture." I added some 1/8" scor-tape around the perimeter, behind each polaroid, and backed the window openings with a teal vine print from the same Sweater Weather Paper pack. I decorated each picture using all the darling images from our Turkey Day Stamps and heat embossed the curved greeting from the set onto a Brilliant Banner 1 Die.

That wraps up my projects for today. Don't forget to check out the Bountiful Autumn Stamps, Bountiful Autumn Dies, and Sweater Weather Paper in our online shop, which are all currently on sale!

Farm Fresh & Happy Harvest Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fall cards featuring our Farm Fresh Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Farm Fresh Stamps, I created a barnyard scene using the barn border, goat, duck, chickens, eggs, and hay box from the set. I framed the scene with a Stitched Circle Small Die and layered it over a yellow gingham background using the Buffalo Plaid Straight Die and the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils. I then heat-embossed the punny greeting "Just chicken in" from the set onto the Brilliant Banner 2 Die, cut from red cardstock and inked with Candied Apple and Fired Brick distress inks.

I filmed a short video showing how the buffalo plaid dies and stencils were designed to work together HERE. If you like the glass mat I am using in my video, make sure to check out the special 20% off Labor Day coupon and link I have for you to use at Glassboard Studio through Monday at the end of my post. 💛

For my second card featuring the Farm Fresh Stamps, I used the scarecrow and hay box from the set, with the sunflowers and crows from the Happy Harvest Stamps. I cut a rectangle from one of the Spellbinders Masking Sheets using our Stitched Rectangle Dies and then inked up a rectangle window in the center of my card using Broken China and Mowed Lawn distress inks to frame my scene. I love the clean and simple look that masking provides. I finished my card by stamping the "autumn blessings" greeting from the Happy Harvest set in the top right corner.

Birthday Mouse Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun birthday card featuring images from the Harvest Mice and Birthday Mouse sets. I just love these adorable mice.

I started by creating the background and using the Moroccan Circles Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of pink cardstock. I trimmed a slim edge off the panel and adhered it to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5"). Next, I used the second smallest die from the Scalloped Square 1 Small Dies to die-cut two squares out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I lightly colored the upper part of the sky with Copic markers. I added a piece of craft foam to the backside of the squares before adhering them to the pink panel.

I stamped the mice from the Harvest Mice Stamps and Birthday Mouse Stamps, the cheese from the Merry Mice Stamps, and the hats from the Party Pets Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Harvest Mice Dies, Birthday Mouse Dies, Merry Mice Dies and Party Pets Dies to die-cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Mice: E50/51/53/33/35, R000/20
Hats: RV13
Cheese: Y13/15, RV10/13/14
Balloons: YG00/01/03/17, RV000/10//21/13/14, Y11/13/15
Bicycle: RV13, C1, W5
Sky: RV1000/10
Banner: YG01/03/17

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner 3 Die to die-cut a banner from Neenah Solar white cardstock. I colored the banner with Copic markers. I stamped the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Inside Greetings: Birthday Stamps directly onto the banner with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I highlighted it with a white gel pen. The colored images and sentiment were adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.
