Classy Christmas Gift Tags with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing two adorable Christmas gift tags filled with festive colors and the cutest little hedgehogs.

I started by die-cutting four white cardstock pieces using the Scalloped Square 1 Large dies and two blue squares with the Stitched Square Dies. I glued two white scalloped squares together with a ribbon loop in between and added the blue square to the front.

Next, I stamped the beautiful poinsettias and leaves from the Classy Christmas Stamp Set, along with two sweet hedgehogs from the Quill Cuties Stamp Set. For extra Christmas cuteness, I added a Santa hat from the Alpaca Holiday Stamp Set, antlers, and some tiny presents from the Happy Owlidays Stamp Set.

After die-cutting all the images with their coordinating dies, I colored everything with my Ohuhu markers and pencils and arranged the pieces on the tags. I stamped “noel” in brown ink onto brown cardstock and added it to the top. Finally, I finished the tags with shiny red Christmas bells on the ribbon loops.

Card done, ready to send joy! Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.

Classy Christmas Card with Jarle

Hi friends! It’s Jarle here, and I am happy to be back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog for my weekly project.  Today, I am featuring the Classy Christmas stamp set for an elegant Christmas card. I haven’t made many Christmas cards this year, so I was glad to have another one done! 

I trimmed a piece of red cardstock to 3,75 by 5 inches. I went for Cranberry cardstock from Spellbinders. I prepped this panel with an antistatic powder tool, since I was going to be doing a lot of heat embossing. 

I stamped different images from the Classy Christmas stamp set with Versamark ink onto the card panel. I used a regular stamping block instead of my Misti because I stamped those images a few times. I sprinkled on gold embossing powder and heat-set it with my heat tool. 

Tip 1: Stamp, emboss, and heat set in different sections. Only bring your heat gun to your cardstock when it is very hot so you don’t get any warping. 

Tip 2: Wipe down your card panel with a cloth after embossing. This gets rid of the antistatic powder. 

I took out my Polychromos pencils and colored all the images. I did very simple shading, with only 2 colors of green and 2 colors of blue. I was afraid that the cardstock was going to be too smooth for colored pencils, but it worked beautifully. 

These are the colors I used:
- Blue: 149 & 152 
- Green: 266 & 278

After that, I chose a sentiment from the Build A Greeting Holidays and heat embossed it as well on a strip of red cardstock. I popped up the sentiment onto my card panel. I adhered the whole panel with foam tape on an A2 cardbase made of Oceanside cardstock (Spellbinders). Yes! Lots of dimension! For a finishing touch, I glued down a few Gold Jewels. I think this really finishes off the card. 

Whenever I do gold embossing, I am always amazed at how beautiful and special the effect is. I hope you will give this a try! Have a beautiful day!

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 the adorable images from the Holiday Hugs, Roly Poly Penguins and the beautiful Classy Christmas sets. 

I stamped the images from the Holiday Hugs Stamp, Roly Poly Penguins Stamp and Classy Christmas Stamp on a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Holiday Hugs Dies, Roly Poly Penguins Dies and Classy Christmas Dies to die cut them out. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T4/5/7, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R000/20
Bear: W00/0/1, W1/5/7, R000/20
Hats: R14/24/29, C00/0/1
Scarf: R20/22/24, R00/20/22, C0/1, YG01/03
Earmuffs: YG01/03, C1/3
Poinsettias: R20/22/24/29, Y06

For the background, I used the largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies to die cut a piece of white cardstock. I lightly ink blended some Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink onto the center. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the "Holiday Hugs" sentiment from the Holiday Hugs stamp set onto a piece of white cardstock with Versafine Satin Red ink and used the Holiday Hugs Dies to die cut it out. 

I adhered the sentiment, bear and back two penguins onto the inked panel with liquid glue. The center penguin and flowers were adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a piece of pink cardstock before it was adhered to a white A2 card base.

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.

Deck The Halls Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, so happy to be back with this bright and cheerful card featuring decorative baubles from Deck The Halls, like a close-up of a Christmas tree.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them with the coordinating dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers. For the branches, I stamped them using a green dye ink first, next I used green markers to add more depth and make those branches more full, and then used a brown marker to color the middle of each branch. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Deck The Halls - baubles • Classy Christmas & Bells & Baubles - branches • Scenic Route - strings of lights.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the baubles using a white gel pen, added a dot of glossy accents to each light and to Rudolph's nose, I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters to the branches and then did the same with liquid stardust.

Next I cut a large Rounded Rectangle Mat panel out of a Joyful Holiday red gingham pattern paper, cut an opening out of it using the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die to turn it into a frame, added white splatters to that frame, and set it aside to dry. I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a panel out of a Very Merry green pattern paper, added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters to it, and once dry, I attached my images to it using 1mm foam squares, except for the strings of lights that I stuck using liquid glue.

I attached my red rounded frame using 2mm foam squares, next the panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel and then to a matching card base. For my greeting, I white heat embossed "Merry Christmas" from Bells & Baubles on black cardstock, cut those words using the matching dies, and attached them at the bottom of my panel using 1mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed "May the season fill your home with joy" from Cozy Christmas on black cardstock, cut it into a fishtail banner and then stuck that banner at the top of my card using 1mm foam squares again.

And that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Classy Christmas Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and I love to add sparkle and shine to my Christmas cards! For this project, I pulled my golden pigment ink and a golden paint pen to provide lots of holiday cheer! And although I adore cute critters, I also enjoy coloring beautiful flowers like these poinsettias from the Classy Christmas stamp and die set.

I stamped and cut all the flowers, leaves and berries so I could arrange them in the two corners of my card. For this project, I selected pink, red, yellow and blue Copic markers. I added lots of sparkle to the flowers and berries with a fine gold paint pen.

After creating a coral card base, I cut a white panel using the scalloped die from the Frilly Frames Stripes set. I wanted to keep a white border, so I masked the edges with Post-it tape before inking my panel with a stripe stencil and the golden pigment ink. I set this panel aside since this ink takes a while to dry.

I love adding layers to my projects by dry embossing (Dapper Diamonds folder) a piece of white card stock cut with the largest of the Limitless Labels 1. I distressed the edges of this piece with the same gold ink before gluing it to the scalloped piece and the card base.

Bold sentiments are amazing focal points of cards, and that is why I love the Season’s Greetings Stamps and Word Dies so much! I stamped the Merry Christmas in gold, and while that was drying (yes, I needed a bit of patience for this card, but it was well worth the wait!) I played around with the floral arrangement. Finally, I glued all the elements in place and used foam tape to add the large sentiment. For some extra shine, I sprinkled a few Gold Jewels on each side of the card.

I hope you got inspired by this project, and I can’t wait to see your take on this layout. Thank you for joining me, and happy crafting!

Mendi here popping in to share that Glassboard Studio has added an incredible new Scrapbook Magnetic Glass Craft Mat to their line-up. The size is a bit more manageable for travel than my favorite 36x24 mat, and it's also the perfect size for making cards! I love that it's oversized, so you not only have room to work on a 2-page scrapbook layout, but have an extra 1" border around it. The magnetic surface will also be super helpful for keeping elements in place until I glue them down. Use the code SUNNYSTUDIO to save 20% off through tonight at Midnight.
