Let's Chill Card with Amanda

Hey, crafty friends, and welcome back to the Sunny Studio Stamps blog! It’s Amanda here with you today sharing a cute little shaker card. I’ve been in a shaker-card mood lately, and I couldn’t resist making a fun, playful design featuring some of my favorite Sunny Studio holiday stamps!

I started by creating my shaker portion of the card. To do this, I grabbed my All is Bright patterned paper and found the snowy teal paper. I trimmed this paper down to 4.25” x 5.5”. Using the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies, I ran it through my die cutting machine, centering the arch in the center of the panel.

Once I had my 2 pieces, I glued the background arch to an A2 card base and set it aside. I created my snowy hilly background with the Scenic Route Stamps. While I had all my stamp supplies out, I also stamped my 2 cuties from the Let’s Chill Stamps.  

I created my sentiment using the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamps. This set has hundreds of combinations to make holiday sentiments and I LOVE it! I stamped the red words with Catherine Pooler’s Rouge ink first. Then, I stamped the rest with black ink.

I colored the images in with Copic markers. Here are the marker colors I used:
Trees: YG17 YG23
Snow: BG10, BG11, BG13
Seals: W0, W2, W3, W5, R20

Once all the images were colored, I cut them out with their coordinating dies. To make the hilly scene look like it’s in the background, I glued it behind my arched frame. I also put my sentiment strip behind the frame and glued it in place.

Now, to create the shaker part! I placed some Snow White Jewels on my card base in the center of the arch. On my front panel (the frame), I used double sided tape to adhere my piece of acetate. Then, I added foam strips around the entire front panel and then adhered it to my card base. The final step was to add my cute seals with some 3D foam squares to make them pop! 

I had so much fun making this shaker card, and I hope it brings a smile to your face today! If you haven’t tried making a shaker in a while, consider this your little crafty nudge!

Roly Poly Penguins Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a fun Christmas card featuring these adorable Roly Poly Penguins who are using the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp set to wish you a Holly Jolly Christmas.

For the layout, I diecut a piece of white cardstock using the outer die of the Frilly Frames Polka Dot Dies. Next, I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and lightly ink blended it with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink. I trimmed the pink panel down to fit inside white scalloped panel. 

I stamped the images from the Roly Poly Penguins Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Roly Poly Penguins Dies to diecut them out. I also used the Basic Mini Shape Dies and Basic Mini Shape Dies 3 to diecut some holly leaves and berries out of white and red cardstock. I colored the elements with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T4/5/7/9, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R00/20
Red: R24/29/39
Green: YG01/03/17
White: C00/1/3

For the sentiment, I diecut a banner out of red cardstock using the Brilliant Banner 3 Dies.  The Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp set from the latest release was used to create a sentiment. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark Watermark ink onto the red banner and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder.

I adhered the sentiment banner and all of the colored images onto the inked panel with foam tape. I added some snowflakes diecut from white cardstock using the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2 and the Basic Mini Shape Dies 5. Finally, I adhered the entire panel onto the front of a top folding white card base (4.25" x 5.5"). 

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.

Santa's Stocking & Woolen Mitten Shaped Holiday Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi, popping in to share some shaped Christmas cards for giving gift cards featuring our Santa's Stocking Dies and Woolen Mitten Dies.

For my first card, I created a fairisle print for our Santa's Stocking Dies using the decorative elements from the Woolen Mitten Dies and the thinnest stitched pennant strip from the Slimline Pennant Dies. I added the aqua hearts in the center of each fairisle motif using the smallest heart from the Basic Mini Shape 2 Dies. To create my pocket for the gift card, I cut two stockings from white cardstock and used a thin line of liquid adhesive around the outside edge to adhere the two pieces together. I stamped a customized "May your Christmas be wrapped in joy" greeting from our new Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamps onto the cuff using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and added highlights to the bow and candy canes from the Santa's Stocking set with a white gel pen.

I created mitten gift card pockets for my second set of cards today, featuring the Woolen Mitten Dies. This cute and simple design is easy to mass produce for holiday gift giving, whether cash or gift cards. To add a touch of realism to my mittens, I embossed the top piece using the Cable Knit Embossing Folder and inked the edges with a coordinating Gina K. Turquoise Sea and PinkFresh Studio Raspberry Bliss inks. I found the perfect sentiment from the Inside Greetings Seasons Stamps, which I stamped onto a Scalloped Heart Die cut from white cardstock. I added a small coordinating stitched heart to fill the space below the greeting from the Warm & Cozy Dies. Lastly, I embellished the cuff with a snowflake and assembled button that comes with the Woolen Mittens set. I love how realistic these buttons look, but they are much slimmer for mailing!  Also, today's cards all can fit A2-sized envelopes (aside from the popped-up candy canes).

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Holiday Express Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with this lovely gingerbread themed card featuring images from different sets, which is my favorite thing to do when I make cards, I really love how the Sunny Studio stamp sets can be mixed to create super cute scenes!

I started off by stamping the images on light kraft cardstock instead of the usual white cardstock because for some reason when I color gingerbread themed images I like to use kraft cardstock. I cut them all with the coordinating dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Holiday Express - locomotive, wagons, presents, smoke, holly, connecting pieces • Christmas Cookies - gingerbread characters (wagons) • Baking Spirit Bright - gingerbread character (locomotive) • Snowmen In Sweaters - snowflakes.

I added highlights and details to the images with a white gel pen, and next I worked on the background. I cut a scalloped panel out of the same cardstock as the images using a Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace die and added texture to that panel using the Dotted Diamond Landscape die. I applied vintage photo and ground espresso distress inks to my scalloped panel edges, next I mixed some vintage photo distress ink with water and added brown splatters all over the panel, I did the same with vintage photo distress spritz for sparkles, and then the same again with copic opaque white ink for contrast. When my panel was dry, I attached it to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light kraft panel using 1mm foam squares, and then to a card base using liquid glue.

I cut a banner out of dark brown cardstock using a Notebook Photo Corners die, white heat embossed "Have a holly jolly Christmas" from Build A Greeting Holidays on it, attached that banner to my card using 1mm foam squares, and finally the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. 

And that's it! Are you ready to get on the gingerbread holiday express? Come on and let's have some fun! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
