Christmas Garland Frame Cards with Candice and Rachel

Candice with you today, sharing a different use for the new Christmas Garland Frame die as coral!

The Sunny Studio products I used for my card:

• Christmas Garland Frame die
• Best Fishes stamps & coordinating dies
• Merry Mice stamps & coordinating dies
• Scenic Route stamps & coordinating dies
• Rainbow Pearls

For the background, I first heat embossed the bubbles in white and then inked over with tumbled glass oxide ink. I then die cut the Christmas Garland Frame from navy glitter paper, using a shim to get a deep cut through the thickness of the cardstock. I love how it looks like coral for this card!

Next, I stamped the fishes and winter accessories, colored with Copic markers and then used the coordinating dies listed above to cut out. The christmas lights I stamped and cut out with the coordinating dies, colored with Copics and added yellow Stickles for some shimmer.

To finish the card, I heat embossed the sentiment in white from both the Merry Mice and Best Fishes stamp sets on a red banner. For the embellishments, I simply added a few navy domes from the Rainbow Pearls.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hello everyone! It's Rachel here and I have a festive winter card that features the gorgeous Christmas Garland Frame Die. I've combined this die with the Jolly Gingerbread Stamp Set.

To create my frame, I first started with a piece of Ranger White Watercolor Paper that I had trimmed to slightly larger than 4.25" x 5.5". I then quickly watercolored this piece with both Daniel Smith Viridian Watercolor Paint and Ken Oliver Turquoise Colorburst Watercolor Powder. I then let this piece dry before I die cut it. Once I had it cut out, I then splattered it with both dark green diluted watercolor paint as well as diluted Opaque White Paint. I added some of this diluted white paint to the ends of each piece to resemble fallen snow.

Next I trimmed a piece of smooth white card stock to 4.25" x 5.5" and lightly blended some Catherine Pooler Hot Tub Ink. I splattered this blended area with both some water drops as well as some more diluted white paint. I added some stitched snow drifts using the Woodland Border Dies. 

For my images, I stamped them onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored everything with Copics. I cut them out and then added them to my card with both liquid adhesive and 3D Foam Tape depending on which ones I wanted to add more dimension to. I used a fun sentiment from the Jolly Gingerbread Set and added it to the left side of my front snow drift before adding it to my card base.

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

Hogs & Kisses Cards with Anja and Vanessa

Hi everyone, Anja here and today I'm back again with another Christmas card featuring the Hogs & Kisses set. I combined the cute piggy with the house border stamp from the Scenic Route set.

For my background, I blended together some blue Distress Oxide Inks (Stormy Sky, Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire) onto a piece of Bristol paper and added white paint splatters with a brush. I stamped the row of houses and the pig in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and did some coloring with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images.

The pun sentiment is a combination of the gold heat embossed word 'Hoggy' and the scripty 'Christmas' die which is included in the Christmas Garland Frame set and stretches across the whole width of my card. I die cut it from red glitter cardstock. Finally, I adhered the house border panel and pig with foam tape for a little bit of dimension.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a card using the cute Hogs & Kisses set. I created a little scene and loved digging through my beloved Sunny Studio stash to find elements to add to this.

I first covered the front of my card with patterned paper from the Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 paper pad to create the background of my scenery. Then I stamped all the images onto white cardstock, colored the elements with Copics, die-cut everything with the matching dies and adhered the images to the card. 

Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of red cardstock, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, trimmed the strip and adhered it to the card.

I used so many different sets, I decided to give you a list of them:

Hogs & Kisses stamps + dies

Scenic Route stamps + dies

Santa Claus Lane stamps + dies

Blissful Baking stamps + dies

Happy Owlidays stamps + dies

Seasonal Trees stamps + dies

Summer Picnic stamps + dies

Thank you for visiting today, hope to see you again next week!

Embossing Folder Focused Cards with Leanne and Eloise

Hello everyone, Leanne here! Have you started decorating for the holidays yet? I just love the Farmhouse style of decorating especially for Christmas. It was this decorating trend that inspired my card today. Most of the Farmhouse Christmas decor ideas I've seen include buffalo plaid, so for my card I created a green and black plaid background using the Buffalo Plaid Embossing Folder. 

To achieve the green and black plaid, I started with green card stock and then I used Onyx Black VersaFine to ink up the embossing folder before running it through my die cut machine. I added the embossed plaid panel to an A2 sized card base. I die cut one of the Fancy Frames Rectangles to place in the center of the plaid background.

The Farmhouse decorating style is known for it's simplicity so I followed suit and kept this card design fairly clean and simple. I die cut the "Merry Christmas", using the Christmas Garland Frame Dies, from black glitter card stock and adhered to the frame at an angle. I then used the Layered Poinsettia dies to create a single flower to add just below the greeting. For a little bit of embellishment, I added a few clear sequins to finish off the card.

Hi friends, Eloise here and today I’ll be using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder along with Merry Mice to create a Christmas card.

I started off with stamping out my images and colouring them in with Copic Markers. I cut them out and then added white details using a gel pen.

(Copic Markers Used: B0000, B000 / YG03, YG23, YG25, YG17 / R000, R00 / R32, R35, R37, R39 / YR20, YR21, YR23, YR24 / W00, W0, W1, W3 / E50, E51, E53, E55 / E30, E31, E34, E35 / RV91, RV93, RV95, RV99 / RV63, RV66, RV69, R89 / 0)

I then took a piece of watercolour cardstock and ran that through my die cutting machine with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. I then water-coloured a pink/purple circle into the centre.

Lastly, I adhered my images into place and white heat embossed the ‘Have A Mice Christmas’ sentiment onto a thin strip of black cardstock and adhered that on too.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I’ll see you all next week.

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!
