Sneak Peek: Holy Night, Inside Greetings & Victorian Christmas

Hello and welcome to day 5 of our Fall & Winter Peek Week!  All this week I am showcasing cards using our newest collection which will be available to purchase tomorrow morning. 

Today's sneak peeks include a new 4x6 Nativity stamp set, two 4x6 Sentiment Stamp sets for the inside greetings on your holiday cards, a second new 6x6 paper pack and a mini 2x3 holiday house stamp to compliment our previoulsy released Christmas Home Stamps.  Are you ready? Let's get started!

Card No. 1:  My first card uses our new Holy Night Stamps. This is a set I have wanted to create for the previous two Christmas seasons, but I was always too nervous I wouldn't be able to bring it to life the way I envisioned. I wanted to have a set that included some cute animals welcoming the birth of Jesus just like my favorite children's Christmas book The Crippled Lamb by Max Lucado. I'm happy I was finally able to overcome my fear though because I had so much fun using it to create today's Christmas cards.

I started by inking up a white cardstock panel with Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot distress inks, working darker towards the outer edges. This set comes with a number of different sized shining stars so I started by heat embossing the largest one near the center just over where I planned to position the baby Jesus and added the smaller ones throughout my sky, adding small white dots between them with my white sharpie extra fine point paint pen.

For my ground I die-cut a piece of brown cardstock with a sloped die from the Slimline Nature Border dies and inked up the bottom half with some vintage photo distress ink. After it had dried I heat embossed a sentiment from the set using clear VersaMark ink with white embossing powder. I decided to fussy cut my images which I had colored with Copic markers, but I saved myself some trouble with cutting out the rafters on the stable and just cut the outside edge. For the inside portion I colored it with a coordinating Copic marker and no one would ever be the wiser.  ;)

Card No. 2:  Up next is a slimline card that gave me the extra room I needed to include the three wise men from the Holy Night Stamps. I inked up my paper with the same colors that I used on my first card, but this time I spritzed it with water and flicked on some watered down white paint. I then die-cut the panel when it was dry with our new Slimline Scalloped Frame dies and cut a second portion out using black cardstock to form my ground. This time I only used the simple large star from the set and heat embossed my sentiment using our new Inside Greetings Christmas Stamps.

Card No. 3: This card makes use of our new Classic Sunburst paper which features the sunray print in all your favorite bright colors (previously we only had this style available in our pastel version) and it includes a nice diagonal grid print on the reverse side that is identical to the versatile grid print found in our Very Merry Paper pack. I elected to come out with two basic paper packs that can be used all year long over a traditional Christmas paper set this year since our small business is starting to outgrow our limited storage space and I need to be more selective about which new papers I add. I'm so happy to have these 4 basic new prints though that can be enjoy throughout the year!

I kept the rest of my card really simple, heat embossing my "O Holy Night" Sentiment from the Holy Night set near the center in white embossing powder and using the Slimline Basic Border dies to add stitching to my cardstock strip and a simple white scalloped edge.

Card No. 4: For my last Holy Night card I pulled out our Window Trio Square dies to create the three stitched windows in the center of my white cardstock panel and then added stitching along the edges of that same panel with ric-rac trim using our Slimline Basic Border dies.  I used our Gingham Jewel Tones Paper peeking out from behind the windows and then embossed a piece of navy cardstock using our Dapper Diamond Embossing folder.

Card No. 5: Switching gears I have some cards featuring our new Victorian Christmas 2x3 Stamps. My first card lets the house in this set take center stage, using our Stitched Semi-Circle Dies to create a snowglobe and base. For my base, I cut it out using our Amazing Argyle Paper pack and trimmed off part of my circle with my paper trimmer, adding a stitched edge to match the other stitching with out Slimline Basic Border dies. For my label, I stamped the Season's Greetings phrase from the stamp set onto a cutout using our Stitched Oval Dies.  I mounted my completed snow globe onto a piece of red Classic Sunburst Paper.

Card No. 6:  For this card I wanted to recreate the look of San Francisco's Alamo Square (inspired by this photo here) at Christmas time. Then of course my husband had to point out to me that it doesn't snow in San Francisco and while I thought that it probably didn't do it often, "never" seemed pretty unlikely. Well, it seems we were both right. According to google snow has fallen and stuck on the ground 11 times since the gold rush so let's just pretend it was one of those years or as my daughters threw me a bone and told me maybe it could pass for a few other cities across America.  LOL!

I started by inking up my background with spun sugar, faded lilac, salty ocean and blueprint sketch distress inks.  For my scene I paired the Victorian Christmas house with the house and bare trees from our Christmas Home stamps and then die-cut my city backdrop using our Cityscape Border dies.

Card No. 7: My next card uses all three houses from the Victorian Christmas and Christmas Home Stamps for a beautiful snowy scene. To set my scene, I inked up my background with spun sugar, faded lilac & tumbled glass distress ink and then heat embossed two sets of the fir tree borders from our Here Comes Santa stamps using Versamark ink and white embossing powder. My embossing powder was looking a bit cream in color next to my white snowy ground though so I decided to add some Stardust stickles over the top of the embossing to help it blend better and it turned out to be a happy solution. I really love the sparkle it adds to my card. I then added some snowflakes to my sky using a white Sharpie extra fine paint pen.

For my sentiment I used the "Merry Christmas" greeting from our Merry Sentiments stamps and then the "from our house to yours" from the Christmas Home set. The little snowman and lamp posts from the same Christmas Home set completed my scene. I love having a third house to go with this set so I can create a full neighborhood with three unique homes!

Card No.8: For my last card of the day, I have a card featuring our new Inside Greetings Christmas stamps. I had created this small scene a couple years ago with our Christmas Chapel Stamps, Christmas Home Stamps and Sunny Semi-Circle Dies, but then just set it aside because life got busy and I wasn't quit sure how to fill the space above the church where I felt there was a bit of a gap.

Well this beautiful greeting came to my rescue, as did the tiny snowflakes from our Sledding Critters Stamps (being shared tomorrow) and the tiny circle flakes from our Winter Scenes Stamps.  I then mounted my little scene onto a piece of our brand new Classic Sunburst Paper in green to pick up the colors of the trees and wreaths.

Season's Greetings Happy New Year's Cards with Ana and Franci

Hello crafty friends and welcome back! Ana here today sharing a New Year’s card featuring Season’s Greetings stamps and Rustic Winter dies

Sunny Studio Stamps: Season's Greetings Rustic Winter Dies Happy New Year's Card by Ana Anderson

I have started with creating the background blending Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, Seedless Preserves and Milled Lavender distress inks. While the panel was drying, I die cut the deer and snowy hill from white cardstock using Rustic Winter dies (deer) and Woodland Borders dies (stitched hill). I used Stitched Oval dies to create a window opening on the front panel.

Once the ink blended panel was dry, I used VersaMark sticky ink and gold embossing powder to heat emboss Happy New Year sentiment (from Season’s Greetings stamps). I stamped the stars (from Christmas Chapel stamps) and gold heat embossed them next, then gold heat embossed the deer die cuts.

I added the snowy hill behind the oval opening, then adhered the panel to the ink blended background with foam tape. Finally, I added the deer with foam tape as well, and my card was finished!

Thank you so much for stopping by today – wishing you an amazing start of the New Year!

Aww this little mouse is my favorite, so adorable! I started by making my white card base and added some details with my scoring board. Then I stamped my sentiment from the Season's Greetings stamp set on the bottom and all the other images from the Merry Mice set on to a piece of white cardstock. I colored them with copics and die cut them with their coordinated dies.

Hello crafty friends and Merry, merry Christmas!! Hope you're having a super happy Holiday time with all your loved one, it's Franci here and I'm so happy to pop in too today to wish you all the best and send Merry Wishes with this sweet Santa Claus Sunny Studio card.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Snowflake Frame Dies Hogs & Kisses Santa Claus Lane Christmas Cards by Franci Vignoli

First of all I created my card base out of white cardstock and I trimmed a coordinated white panel down to size too. I die cut this using the large Layered Snowflake Frame and I also die cut my "Merry" out of some silver sparkle cardstock using the Merry Christmas die included in the Christmas Garland Frame set. 

I inked the front of my card with Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch Distress Inks and I glued my window panel to the card. I also glued the "Merry" and stamped "Christmas" on the bottom. Then I stamped, colored with Copics and die cut some images from the Santa Claus Lane set and glued them down with some foam adhesive.

I added lots of details to all my little scene with a white gel pen, also added a little heart I stamped and die cut from the Hogs & Kisses set. Finally I added some little pearl embellishments here and there and I love how they looks so much!!

Hope you like my card and thank you so much for stopping by today! Now let's celebrate, shall we?! Merry, merry Christmas!

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! It is Ana here today with a water colored Christmas card featuring Layered Snowflake Frame dies and one of my favorite mini stamps Christmas Chapel.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Snowflake Frame Dies Christmas Garland Frame Dies Christmas Chapel Christmas Card by Ana Anderson

I absolutely adore the Snowflake frames and really wanted to combine it with Christmas Chapel and watercolor both panels for softer, winter wonderland look. I started with die cutting the front panel with larger Snowflake Frame die (I used Canson XL watercolor paper for both panels).  I added very light blue shades of color to the die cut panel and set it aside to dry.

I stamped the Christmas Chapel in Antique Linen Distress Ink (the lightest water-soluble ink I have) so I could do no line water coloring. I used Prima watercolors for both the front die cut snowflake frame panel, the chapel and the background/snow banks.

To the chapel panel I added white (acrylic paint mixed with water) splatter. Once both my panels were dry, I stamped the sentiment - from Christmas Chapel set - to the front (snowflake frame) panel. I added foam tape to the snowflake frame pop it up and adhered both panel to A2 card base.

Thank you so much for spending time with us today! I really hope you like today’s winter wonderland project! Wishing you a blessed holiday season!
