Cozy Christmas Cards with Marie and Alma

Hello Crafty Friends, Marie here. So happy to be back on the blog! Today I am sharing a simple Holiday card featuring the super cute Cozy Christmas stamps. Together with the super adorable Penguin Party stamps, with its super adorable penguins, I created a vintage inspired cozy Christmas scene. 

To create this card, I started by stamping out all my images using  Antique Linen Distress Ink onto watercolor paper. I color all my images using Faber-Castell Watercolor Pencils. I then cut out all my images using the Cozy Christmas dies as well as the Penguin Party dies. After cutting all my images, I set it aside to create my super easy background using only pattern paper. First, I die cut my A2 Size Base panel from 110 lb heavy weight cardstock. I always use Neenah Solar White for all my card bases. Using the same A2 size rectangle die, I cut 2 different sheets of vintage paper. 

To create the look of a living room wall, I took the paper with minty vertical stripes and adhered the whole A2 sheet to my base. I then took the paper that would become the floor, and cut it and then adhered that to the bottom portion. To create the base board, I just cut a strip of white cardstock the length of my panel and glued it on top of the floor paper where it meets the minty stripped wall. 

Once I was finished playing around with the placement of my images, I glued everything down using a combination of double sided tape adhesive, Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue, and foam tape which I added to the sofa for dimension. I then placed my sentiment from Cozy Christmas on the inside of my card. For my last finishing touch, I used some gold Stickles Glitter Glue to embellish my pink Christmas tree. I love pink and gold together! 

I absolutely love how this card came together! So simple and cute! I hope we are all on top of our card crafting game as the holidays are really fast approaching now! Thanks so much for joining me today and for allowing me to share with you my passion for cardmaking! Until next week! Happy Crafting!

Hi my friends. Alma here, and today I want to show you a super sweet Christmas card with the Cozy Christmas Stamps. I cut a rectangle card and die-cut a lot of snowflakes  from the Snowflake Circle Frame Dies. I stamped the trees from the Santa Clause Lane Stamps with brown ink.

Then I glued the Snowflakes on the background and added a lot of snowflake highlights with a white gel pen. Now I die-cut the Fluffy Clouds Border Dies and I used the "clouds" as snow.

 After that I colored the images from the sweet Cozy Christmas Stamps with Copics and die-cut the images with the Cozy Christmas Dies and I glued all together. Finally I stamped the three sentiments from the Cozy Christmas Stamps. Happy Winter!

Snowman Kisses & Snow One Like You Cards with Kavya and Isha

Hi folks! Kavya on the blog here with another fun card inspired by a movie that you might have watched once or twice (if you have kids!) - Frozen! This adorable Snowman Kisses stamp set reminded me of Olaf and I just had to figure out a way to create a Frozen themed card!

I started off by stamping and coloring a bunch of images from Snowman Kisses, Enchanted Stamps and Country Scenes Stamps. I then ink blended a soy using blue and purple dye inks. 

Adhered the images and added a heat embossed sentiment to finish off my card!

Hope you like this card :) Happy crafting!

Hello everyone! Isha here with a card featuring the Snow One Like You stamps and dies. This is one of the cutest stamps in my collection :)

I decided to frame this by stamping the pine leaves from the Classy Christmas stamp set all around the mat layer. Sponge slightly all around. Flick white paint to it. Stamp the image, colour using copic markers and die-cut using coordinating dies.

Stamp the sentiment from the Holiday Greetings stamp set and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Die-cut the frame from the Snowflake Circle Frame die. Adhere to the layer. Adhere the sentiment and the images using 3D foam.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Sara Zoppi

Hi crafty friends, Sara here! Today I am really thrilled to be here, guesting for Sunny Studio again! I find their products really interesting and fun, and I know you think the same because you are here on their blog! For my guesting spot, I made three cards, using their recent Holiday release. So, let’s dive into the first one!

Look how cute are those snowmen from the Snowman Kisses stamp set! I wanted to feature them all on my card and I had the idea to color their accessories using rainbow colors. What’s happier than rainbows?

I stamped them on some Neenah Solar White cardstock and then I colored them up with copics. It didn’t took a while, since they are almost white! I then die cut them using coordinating dies.

I then moved into the background, which I ink blended with rainbow colors too! I used some blending brushes, they work really well when blending from color to white. I then stamped the “Happy Holidays” sentiment from Holidays Greetings stamp set using black ink. I knew I wanted a white sentiment, but I used the black to create a sort of halo: in fact, using the stamping tool I slightly moved the sentiment and I white heat embossed it (twice). I also added a few of the snowflakes included in the Snowman Kisses stamp and I white heat embossed them too.

To complete the card, I added the four snowmen using a combination of liquid glue and foam tape, and I stamped on of the sentiment included in the same set at the bottom of the card. I cut the rainbow panel to 4”x5,25” and I matted it using a white A2 panel to complete my design. And here’s the finished result!

My second inspiration features the Penguin Party stamp set, which has the most adorable penguins ever! I created a 5,5”x5,5” square card, with a bold sentiment at the centre and many penguins around.

I stamped all the penguins on some Neenah Cardstock (it is my favorite one when I have to copic color) and I colored them all at once, it really didn’t take a lot. I then cut them with coordinating dies and let them aside while working on the rest of the card.

I white heat embossed the “Merry Christmas” words (from Holiday Greetings stamp set) on red cardstock: I really love those hand-lettered sentiments, and they have coordinating dies too. I usually stamp those kind of sentiments using colored ink on white cardstock, but I am glad I tried to use white on red cardstock because I really love the result!

I kept the background really simple: starting from a light blue cardstock (which measures 5 1/8”x 5 1/8”) I splattered some white acrylic paint and I let it dry. Then I started adding the sentiment and the penguins I had prepared.

I had too much empty space, and since I am a “more is better” cardmaker, I added some Majestic Clear Confetti and some White Snowflake Confetti. To finish off the card, I matted it with a 5,5”x5,5” white panel too.

And here’s my third and last inspiration, using the Snow One Like You stamp set and the  Mini Mat & Tag 2 Dies. I remember when I saw this cute stamp last year, I think it was a freebie with Black Friday Sale and I wished I had lived in America to get it. But now it is available for purchase and I couldn’t resist!

I stamped the cute image on some Neenah cardstock and colored with copics. I created a mini scene on the tag (included in the Mini Mat & Tag 2 Dies), I used the trees from Here Comes Santa. I also decorated the tag with some of the greenery included in the Holiday Greetings stamp set.

I took a piece of Kraft Cardstock and I splattered some white acrylic paint. I then wanted to add a few snowflakes but when I looked into my stash I found the Snowflake Circle Frame Die, which has a gorgeous circle of snowflakes. And I cut it twice from my background, creating a lot of interest in my background panel.

I added the tag on the right side of the card, I added 4 small strips with the stamped sentiment on the left. I also matted the background with an A2 white panel. And here’s a finished result!

Thanks for stopping by! I really hope you have found my projects inspiring!

Autumn Greenery Cards with Bobbi and Cathy

Hello Sunny Studio friend! It’s Bobbi here sharing a new die set that is part of the NEW Fall and Holiday 2022 release. It’s called Autumn Greenery dies and it includes a number of distinctive leaves of common trees. I decided to color them for the autumn season and create a leaf pile on this 5″ X 7″ greeting card.

To make the leaves, I die cut them from 80lb Neenah Solar White cardstock. I used white so that I could color each one with Copics. I used a mixture of greens, golds, yellows, yellow-reds, deep reds and browns to create the fall look. I attached them to my muted watercolor background for high contrast. Three falling leaves were glued above the pile, too.

For the background, I painted a muted, watercolor wash and flicked a gold metallic color over the wash using my fan brush. I used watercolors in mauves, golds and greens. Simple black flecks were added over the wash like small specks in the fall air. Lastly, I stamped a couple phrases from the Words of Gratitude stamp set and attached the card front to a white, A7 card base.

Thanks for stopping by today. You can shop the entire Sunny Studio Stamps release here.

Hey friends! Cathy here with my first post on the blog today and I’m so happy to be joining the Sunny Studio design team! Fall is right around the corner and today I’m sharing a card featuring the new Autumn Greenery dies.

I used the beautiful assortment of leaves and acorns to create a fall wreath welcoming in the season. To start, I die-cut a paper from the new Country Critter paper pack and a piece of light gray cardstock using a Stitched Rectangle die. I embossed the gray cardstock using the Woodgrain embossing folder and adhered the pieces slightly overlapping to an A2 white card base.

 

Next, I die-cut the Snowflake Circle Frame from dark gray cardstock and adhered the frame portion to the card front. I die-cut the Snowflake Circle Frame again from white cardstock, inked the center portion with Speckled Egg distress ink and adhered it inside the frame.

For the Autumn Greenery, I die-cut the leaves from white cardstock and inked them using a combination of Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge, Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon distress inks. I also inked a few with Iced Spruce to balance the central Speckled Egg color. I sprinkled a little water on the leaves to add a little texture. I die-cut the acorns from Neenah 80lb Classic Crest solar white cardstock and colored them with Copics. I also die-cut a portion of the Pristine Poinsettia die from dark brown cardstock to give the look of a branch tucked in amongst the leaves. For added dimension, I only applied adhesive to half of each leaf so the edges of the leaves stick up a bit and I adhered the acorns using dimensional foam tape.

To finish, I heat embossed a sentiment from the Autumn Greetings stamp set on dark teal cardstock, fussy cut it out and added a few jewels from the Pastel Jewels mix around the sentiment for a little sparkle.
