Window Trio Heart Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today. I'm so excited to share some inspirations for the new Spring Release. Today I am showcasing the new Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies. 

There are two sets of dies, Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies and Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies, that just came out. Both sets will die cut a set of three hearts with a beautiful faux stitching on the inside and outside of the cutting line. Both have fun extra dies that come along with them. These were so much fun to play with that I have created two Valentine's Day cards to share with you today. So let's get started. 

For my first card, I have a clean and simple faux shaker style card to share with you. I used the Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies to die cut the windows into a piece of white cardstock (4" x 5.5"). I stamped the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment from the new Foxy Friends Stamps set directly onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

Next, I stamped the penguin from the Passionate Penguins Stamps set and the heart balloons from the new Party Pets Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Passionate Penguins Dies and Party Pets Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7, W0/1, Y38 YR04, R30
Balloons: RV52/55/06/17

I adhered the penguin and balloons onto the white panel. Then added some foam tape to the back side of the panel before adhering it to a piece of patterned paper ( 4.25" x 5.5") from the Polka Dot Parade Paper Pack. I adhered the panel to a white card base (4.25" x 5.5") and finished the card with a few clear confetti sequins. 

For my second card, I decided to use the leftover hearts from the cards that I have created with these Window Trio Heart Dies as well as play with all of the fun bonus dies that come with both of these dies. I die cut all of the bonus dies from the Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies and Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies out of white, red, brown and gold cardstock. I adhered them together as shown in the pictures. 

For my layout, I used the Frilly Frames Polka Dot Dies to die cut a panel out of white cardstock. I took two pieces of pink cardstock. I used the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die to create the diamond pattern on one of the two pink pieces before using the medium sized die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies to trim the panel down to fit inside the white panel. I adhered the smaller pink panel onto the white panel and then onto the solid pink panel. I added my leftover white hearts, then adhered the bon bons and hearts with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. 

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner 1 Die to die cut a banner out of red cardstock. I stamped one of the sentiments from the new Foxy Friends Stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto the banner and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I assembled the banner die, added a couple of hearts from the center of the bonus key die from the Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies and adhered the banner to the panel with foam tape. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white card base (4.25" x 5.5").

Designer's Choice: Snowman Kisses Card with Nicky

Hi! This is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I hope everyone has been enjoying their holidays these past few days. I'm sharing a card I made and sent to a family member in the UK where we say Happy Christmas (Xmas) almost more than we say Merry Christmas, hence the sentiment. Read on for all the details.

Inspired by peppermint and candy canes I selected to use pinks, white and reds for this project. I took a panel of pink cardstock and I die cut it using the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. I backed this panel with white craft foam and applied it to an A2 white panel and then to my card base.

I used the Slimline Nature Borders Die to create some snow to ground the snowmen and glued it in place.

I stamped the snowmen from Snowman Kisses and coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:

Snowmen - C3, C1, C0
Red - R59, R39, R29
Pink Cheeks - RV63, RV52, RV00
Black - T9, T6, T5, T4
Brown - E49, E77, E44, E43
Green - YG45

I used a white gel pen to add designs to the scarf and highlight certain points to make them pop and then I die cut the images using the coordinating Snowman Kisses Die. Each image was backed with foam tape and applied to the background.

For the bold sentiment I used the Chloe Alphabet Die. I die cut the required letters once from red cardstock and twice from sturdy white cardstock and glued the letters in stacks with the red top layer slightly offset to the right so the white underneath acts as a highlight. I used some of the red Copic markers listed above to add shading to the lettering so that it had a more 3D appearance and then I glued the letters in place.

The finishing touch was to add some playful snowflake embellishments throughout the scene and I highlighted the sentiment and then this card was ready to send!

Thank you for coming by the blog today and I wish you all a very happy new year!

Designer's Choice: Roly Poly Penguins Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with another inspiration to share with you for the most adorable Roly Poly Penguin set. I just can't get enough of these cuties! 

I have a question ... how do you feel about that white border between the stamped image and where the dies cut? Some people prefer fussy cutting right up to the stamped line. Others prefer having that white border. Today, I decided to do something a little different and to use that white border to my advantage. I colored in that white border to represent the cookie part of my penguin-shaped frosted cookies!

I stamped the images from the Roly Poly Penguin stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Roly Poly Penguins Dies to die cut them out. I also created some snowflake cookies by using the Nested Circle Infinity Dies to die cut three 1.5" circles. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen. 

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7, T0/1, Y38 YR04, R20
Red: R24/27
White: C0/1
Cookie: E53/55

For the snowflake cookies, I added some snowflakes die cut from white cardstock using the Woolen Mitten Dies set with liquid adhesive. I finished the cookie by adding silver gems onto the snowflakes for a bit of shine.

For the cookie box, I took a piece of pink cardstock and ran it through the die cut machine with the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die for some texture. I cut out a window in the center with the second largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered a piece of clear acetate to the backside. I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and used the pink window panel as a guide to adhere the cookies to it. I adhered the penguins with some foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. Once the cookies were where I wanted, I adhered the pink window panel with foam tape.

For the cookie box decorations, I created two small tags using one of the dies from the Sweet Treat Bag Dies. One die cut out of white cardstock and the other using a patterned paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper Pack. I stamped a sentiment using parts from the Penguin Party Stamps and Holiday Hugs Stamps with Versafine Satin Red ink. I tied a red ribbon onto the box and adhered the tags and some snowflakes die cut from white cardstock using the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2 and Woolen Mitten Dies sets with liquid adhesive. Finally, I adhered the cookie box to a white card base (4.25" x 5.5").

Winter Greenery Card with Alma

Hello everyone, Alma here. Today I’m showing you a card filled with lots of die-cut elements. 

At the center of my card is the Wood Barrel Die, which I colored using Distress Oxide Inks. I filled the Wood Barrel with die cuts from the Winter Greenery Dies, also colored with Distress Oxide Inks.

For my sentiment, I used the word "Holiday" from the Holiday Hugs Stamps set and die-cut the word "greetings" using the Greetings Word Die. For the background, I used the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die.

And just like that, my holiday greeting card is complete!

Toasty Hugs Card with Tina

Hello crafters, Tina here and today I made a fun Christmas card with lots of layers featuring the adorable cuties from the Toasty Hugs stamp and die set.

Opting for a vertical design this project starts with a white card base, next I cut a blue panel from a snowflake paper (Frilly Frames Stripes Die, Holiday Cheer papers). I added more subtle interest to this piece by running it through the machine with the Dotted Diamond Portrait die.

The following layer is made from white card stock using the Window Trio Square dies. I cut this window from a large piece of paper and used my trimmer to cut a small border around it so I could add thin foam strips to attach it to the blue panel.

I kept the square white pieces from the die cut and used them to create little snowbanks for my mini scenes and sentiment. The ‘Christmas’ word (Reindeer Games) was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink. After cutting the large Merry Word 3 times from a red paper in my stash I glued them all together giving the die cut stability and dimension. I used tiny slivers of foam tape to adhere the word to the windows shape.

For the mini scenes I used the two cuties from the Toasty Hugs stamp, strings of twinkly lights and packages (Holiday Express) and lastly the igloo from Winter Scenes. I selected pink, red and vibrant blue Copic markers for my coloring, adding snowflakes with a white gel pen.

After putting the little snowbanks in place, I added all the other elements for the scenes with foam tape. For extra interest I mounted even more snowflakes to the background by using one of my favorite dies (Snowflake Circle Frame). This die is a must have for all your winter and holiday cards, as it cuts a bunch of snowflakes in one pass. Love that! I then glued some Red Zircon Jewels to the centers of the snowflakes. 

I had a great time creating this adorable card and I hope you got inspired by the design! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!
