Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Keeway Tsao

Hello friends! It’s Keeway Tsao from Kiwi Koncepts and I’m so excited to be here today to share with you some fun holiday inspirations with the Winter 2019 release!

My first showcases the Merry Mice stamp and dies and Christmas Garland frame die. I first stamped the mice in stockings in a dark brown hybrid ink and colored them up with copic markers. I then used the matching dies to die cut the images out.

Next, I die cut the Christmas Garland frame out of white card stock. I then used a blending brush to ink blend various green distress oxide inks onto the frame. The different green inks add variation and depth to the pine. I ink blended an A2 panel with a lighter green and yellow ink colors to back the frame and also added berries that I had die cut out of red card stock.

I stamped the sentiment in the bottom center and added my images above it with foam tape. Finally, I lightly dabbed on glue around each berry and sprinkled chunky glitter onto it to give it a sparkly look. After giving it a few minutes to dry, I used a brush to gently remove any loose glitter remaining on the card.

My next card showcases the Santa Claus Lane stamps and dies and Layered Snowflake Frame Die. Again, I stamped my images in a dark brown hybrid ink and colored them with copic markers. I die cut the images out with the matching dies.

My background costs of three layers. The bottom layer is ink blended with Blueprint Sketch, Broken China, and Tumbled Glass distress oxide inks and splattered with white paint. The center layer is die cut with the smaller of the two Layered Snowflake Frames out of white card stock and gently blended with Tumbled Glass distress oxide ink. The top layer is die cut with the larger of the two Layered Snowflake Frames out of white card stock and ink blended with Broken China and Tumbled Glass distress oxide inks. These layers were adhered together.

I used the large ‘merry christmas’ sentiment die from Christmas Garland frame die out of red card stock. This was added towards the bottom half of the card, with the images right above it with foam tape. Now that I’m in the glittery mood, I decided to dab some clear adhesive around the frame to add some chunky glitter around the snowflake frame for a sparkly final touch!

Hope you enjoy today’s inspiration and see you next time!

Hedgey Holidays Cards with Rachel and Candice

Hello, crafty friends! It's Rachel here and I have some fun Christmas tags to share with you today featuring the sweetest little hedgehog from the Hedgey Holidays Stamp Set. I combined this cute little mini stamp set with the Build-A-Tag #2 Die Set and the Holiday Cheer 6x6 Paper Pack to create some easy tags that would go great with your Christmas gifts!

I stamped my hedgehogs onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored them with Copics. (Colors used: Body: E41, E41, E43, E44; Spines: E31, E23, E25; Reds: R46, R89; Greens: YG01, YG07, YG17, G28; Blues: B0000, B01, B02, B06; Whites: 0, C00, C2, C4.) I used the coordinating Dies to cut them out and attached them to my tags with some 3D Foam Adhesive Tape.

I cut a second coordinating tag layer to attach behind all of my tags and stamped each of them with some "To:" and "From:" sentiments from the Christmas Icons Stamp Set. I fished off each tag by stamping the sentiment onto another strip of white card stock and attaching it all together with some green & white striped twine.

I hope you enjoyed my tags today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hey, it's Candice here. This little cutie is part of the Black Friday deals at Sunny Studio Stamps and I used it to make a cute Christmas card!

All the Sunny Studio Stamps products I used:

• Hedgey Holidays stamps & coordinating dies 
• Scenic Route stamp set & coordinating dies (lights)
• Christmas Garland Frame dies (merry christmas)
• Hogs & Kisses dies

I started my card by creating an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base which fits into a standard or 9A size envelope. For the background, I first inked a trimmed piece with worn lipstick & spun sugar and splattered with red shimmer spray. I then repeatedly stamped the Hedgehogs, colored them with Copic markers and die cut one extra and pop dotted on top of the center one.

To finish the card, I added some strings of lights that I layered for depth along with the Merry Christmas topped with foil mint paper. I also added the sentiment onto the speech bubble along with the holly colored with Copics.

Make sure you take advantage of the Black Friday deal at Sunny Studio Stamps here!

Hedgey Holiday Cards with Ana and Franci

Hello crafties! It’s Ana here today sharing a card and a tag using super adorable Hedgey Holidays stamp set as well as few other of my favorite products from Sunny Studio!

I stamped the hedgey three times, holly images twice, colored them with alcohol markers and cut them with coordinating dies. Presents and part of the sentiment are from Alpaca Holiday stamp set.

I used a snowy scene page from Very Merry 6x6 paper pack to create a background for both my card and tag, as well as red and green patterned papers from the same paper pack, for the card frame and tag topper. I cut an extra tag out of white cardstock and topper out of green patterned paper for the back side of the tag. For the card frame I used largest inside and outside Fancy Frames Square Dies and for the tag Build-A-Tag #2 Dies.

I assembled the card and tag adding snow pen to each below the hedgehogs and presents for some texture. Finally, I stamped the sentiment on the card background and To and From on the back of the tag with VersaFine Onyx Black ink and my projects were finished!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you’re enjoying all the hedgey cuteness we are sharing with you this week!

Hello crafty friends! Franci here with you today and I'm super happy to share a project featuring the mini Hedgey Holidays set!!

Aww this little festive critter is sooo adorable!! First of all I created a card base out of white cardstock and I cut out a white matching panel. I added some sparkle watercolor splatters on it, let everything dry completely and stamped my sentiment in the bottom right corner.

As everything was dry I added the wood detail using the Woodgrain Embossing folder and die cut the Christmas word out of some sparkle glittered gold cardstock using a die from the Christmas Garland Frame die. I stamped, colored and die cut all the images (I also added some holly and little hearts from the Santa Claus Lane set and the Hogs & Kisses one) and I added some details with a white gel pen. 

I arranged all my critters and all the other elements on to the panel that I previously glued down to my card with some liquid glue (or you can use strong double sided adhesive) to give the idea of a little Christmas tree shape and the card is complete!

Awww I love this so much, hope you like it too!

Scenic Route Cards with Candice and Rachel

It's Candice with you today and I hope you are all getting ready for a fabulous weekend of crafting and I have some inspiration for you using the versatile Scenic Route stamp set! How many of you just had to get the adorable superheroes this summer and just haven't gotten to use them as much as you would like?! I decided to tie them into the holiday season, a perfect card for the comic lover in your family!

The Sunny Studio Stamps products I used are:

• Scenic Route stamp set & coordinating dies
• Super Duper stamp set & coordinating dies
• Santa Claus Lane stamp set (ho)
• Christmas Garland Frame die (christmas)
• Comic Strip Speech Bubbles die (frame)
• Woodland Borders dies
• Very Merry 6x6 paper pack
• Rainbow Pearls

I first die cut the frame, using the negative to frame my scene. I filled the scene first with the night sky pattern paper and added the copic colored and glittered hills under the moon.  Next, I colored the houses and used the coordinating dies to cut out and pop dotted along the hillside.

I then die cut the stitched snowhills, layering along the bottom of the card and pop dotted the frame on top of the scene. For the sentiments, I first heat embossed the you're my favorite super hero on two separate navy banners and then die cut multiples of the christmas, the top one out of red glitter. I then die cut the comic bubble out of the same navy and heat embossed the ho, ho, ho in white and pop dotted it next to the Christmas superhero. I added a few green pearls to tie in the green around the sentiment.

I hope you are inspired to use some of your summer sets for Christmas in different ways!

Hello everyone! It's Rachel here and I have a card to share with you today that focuses on the new Scenic Route Stamp Set. I combined this set with some cute snowmen from the Feeling Frosty Set to create a fun winter scene.

To start, I first trimmed a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock to 8.5" x 3.5". I then blended the top portion of it with Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Inks. I splattered this blend with both water and diluted Opaque White Paint to resemble snow. I also added a few white die cut snowflakes using the snowflake dies from the Snowflake Circle Frame Die Set.

I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto another sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored them with Copics. I used the coordinating Scenic Route and Feeling Frosty die sets to cut them out once colored.

Copic Colors Used:

• Pinks: RV000, RV00, RV52, RV55, RV66, RV69
• Purples: BV000, BV02, BV13, BV17, BV08
• Whites: 0, C00, C0, C2, C4
• Greens: G20, G24, YG25, YG63
• Dark Gray: W5, W8
• Light Gray: W1, W3, W5
• Snow Drifts: BG0000, BG11, BG53

Once I had all of my scenery and images cut out, I adhered them carefully onto the front of my card where I wanted them to be aligned. I then used a paper trimmer to trim off any excess. I used the Woodland Border Dies to add a few extra stitched snow drifts. I stamped my sentiment onto the lower right corner of my lowest snow drift and lastly, adhered my snowmen with some 3D Foam Adhesive Squares for added dimension.

I hope you've enjoyed my card today! Thanks so much for dropping by! Wishing you all the most wonderful weekend!
