Let's Chill Card with Hanh: Black Friday Exclusive!

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a clean and simple card featuring the exclusive new Let's Chill Stamp and Dies, which aren't available for purchase this year but can be received as a FREE gift with a $50+ purchase for a limited time only! See below for promotion full details. The set includes the sweetest pair of seals!

I stamped the images from the Let's Chill Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Let's Chill Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Seals: C00/0/1/3, R00/30
Heart: R24/29

For the layout, I diecut a piece of white cardstock using the larger die from the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies set. I adhered the entire panel onto the front of a top folding white card base (4.25" x 5.5"). 

The Forest Trees Stencils and some Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks were used to create the background on a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I started by lightly ink blending the sky on the upper edge of the cardstock. I placed the first layer of the stencil and very lightly ink blended the Tumbled Glass with a blending brush. Next, I placed the second layer of the stencil and ink blended again with the Tumbled Glass but with a slightly heavier hand. Finally, I placed the third stencil and lightly ink blended with the Salty Ocean ink.

Once the ink was dry, I diecut the panel with the larger die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies set. I used the same die to diecut a white panel out of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. One of the slope dies from the Slimline Nature Borders Dies was used to diecut the white panel in half. I used the colored images to layout my scene and decide on the placement of one of the sentiments from the set. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the white half panel with the same Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered the half panel onto the inked panel before adhering the entire panel to the scalloped edge panel and card base.

I adhered the colored images onto the card front with some foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. I finished the card with a few snowflakes diecut from white cardstock using the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2.

Merry Mocha Card with Alma

Hello everyone, Alma here! Today I want to show you a card that is as colorful and cheerful as I imagine Christmas to be! At the center of the card is the winter mug from the Merry Mocha Stamps set. 

Since everyone loves to enjoy a big slice of Christmas cake with their hot cocoa, I stamped the cake from the Special Day Stamps set and decorated it with elements from the Holiday Express Stamps set to give it a festive Christmas look. For me, the "marzipan" tree ;-) is the big highlight of the cake. The cake’s pattern is created with the snowflake from the Merry Mocha Stamps set. I colored the images using Copics.

Overall, the card is designed as an indoor scene, as I created the card base using the Windows Quad Square Dies. This die is perfect for quick window cards and fits a classic card format beautifully. It's also great for making shaker cards. The scent of hot chocolate and Christmas cake has even drawn in guests from outside! As you can see, Santa and his reindeer friends have sneaked up to the window, waiting for a big slice of delicious cake. Santa is from the Santa Claus Lane Stamps, and the reindeer are from the Reindeer Games Stamps set.

For the background, I used Distress Oxide Inks in Chipped Sapphire and Peacock Feathers, and created a winter landscape using the Forest Trees Stencil and a white gel pen. Finally, I added sequins to complete the shaker card! To finish, I used the Brilliant Banner 4 Dies and stamped the text "Have a super jolly Christmas" from the Reindeer Games Stamps set.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Holiday Cards with Sara Zoppi

Hi crafty friends, Sara here! Today I am really thrilled to be here, guesting again for Sunny Studio Stamps! I really love their products, they are always so funny and sweet! For my guesting spot, I made two cards, using their recent Holiday released products. So, let's dive into the first one!

Look how cute is that big bear from the Holiday Hugs stamp set. I absolutely fell in love with him as soon as I saw him!

I stamped the image with a really light grey ink since I wanted a no-line look over a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I then colored with Copics (Y28 – E84 – E81 – N5 – N4 – W7 – W5 – W4 – W0) and I added some details with white gel pen. I then fussy cut it because I wanted no white edges.

I then moved into the background: I started from a light sage cardstock and I created a quick hill shape with tape to darken the sky. I then used a white texture paste with the Forest Trees Stencil to create a white line of trees.

To complete the card, I added some snowflakes with white gel pen, I white heat embossed the "holiday" script from the Holiday Hugs stamp over some grey cardstock and I die cut it with coordinating dies. The wishes word was stamped over a strip of white cardstock. And here's the finished result!

To complete the card, I added some snowflakes with white gel pen, I white heat embossed the "holiday" script from the Holiday Hugs stamp over some grey cardstock and I die cut it with coordinating dies. The wishes word was stamped over a strip of white cardstock. The finished sage panel measures 3,5"x4,75" and I matted it firstly with a slightly larger silver sparkly cardstock and then with an A2 white panel impressed with the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die.

And here's the finished result!

My second and last inspiration showcases the Pretty Poinsettia stamp set. I started with the idea to create a red monochrome poinsettia wreath but I when I was stamping the red flower, I had the idea to create a rainbow wreath for some colorful wishes!

I created a 5,5"x5,5" square card, with the script sentiment at the centre and all the poinsettia around.

I firstly die cut all the poinsettia shapes from some white cardstock and I created a sort of "template" to insert the die cut pieces and repeatedly stamp the solid flowers in the same place using a stamping tool. I carefully stamped all the layers for each color (you can skip the change of colors and create a monochromatic card). I then gold heat embossed the sentiment included in the stamp set and I cuti t with a circle punch.

I attached all the flowers with foam tape to a 5"x5" piece of white cardstock, I also added the circle sentiment in the centre. I then matted the panel with a slightly larger mirror gold cardstock and then with a 5,5"x5,5" white panel again. To complete the card, I added some gold gems here and there. And here's the finished result!

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

Holiday Hugs Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with another holiday card featuring the Holiday Hugs stamps and dies. I combined a few other products from the previous releases to create this adorable scene. I love the size of this cute bear and especially the die-cut to pop the arm so it could hold something :)

To start, I sponged peacock feathers and mowed lawn distress oxide inks through the Forest Trees stencil until about half the card. I then sponged kitsch flamingo and picked raspberry oxide inks to create the sky. Next stamp some of the snowflakes from the Holiday Hugs stamp set. Flick white paint to this layer and let dry.

Die-cut the frame from the Fancy Frames Rectangle from white cardstock. Adhere to the layer. Adhere this to a white cardbase.

Stamp the images, color and die-cut using the coordinating dies:
Bear, Gift, sentiment: Holiday Hugs stamps and dies
Fir Branch: Bells & Baubles stamps and dies
Small gifts: Holiday Express stamps and dies
Bulbs garland: Scenic Route stamps and dies

Stamp the word "GREETINGS" onto black card using versamark ink, sprinkle WOW! opaque white embossing powder and heat set.

Assemble everything to the card. Thanks for dropping by and have a nice day!

Truckloads of Love Card with Rachel

Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel here with a classic-style Christmas card featuring the versatile Truckloads of Love Stamp Set. I love this set because it can be decorated appropriately for a variety of occasions and seasons throughout the entire year. For my card today, I used the truck combined with the wooden railing, Christmas gifts, and tree to create a simple Christmas-themed card.

I started my card by first stamping my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then colored them with Copic Markers and used the coordinating Truckloads of Love Die Set to cut them out. Next, I die cut two large scalloped ovals from some smooth white card stock using the largest die from the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 Dies. I set one of my oval die cuts aside to use as my background and then ran the second one through my die cutting machine again and cut the inside of it with the largest oval from the Stitched Ovals 2 Die Set in order to make a scalloped oval frame.

I then blended some Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink onto my first scalloped oval cut to create my background sky. Once finished, I then used one of the Forest Trees Stencils to blend some pine trees over top of my background sky with some Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide Ink. I then added some white ink spatters using diluted Copic Opaque White Paint to resemble snow. I made my card the standard A6 (4.5" x 6.25") size and layered it with some red patterned paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper Pad. 

I next stamped my sentiment from the Christmas Home Stamp Set onto my background oval scene and then adhered it to my card base with some 3D foam adhesive tape. Next, I die cut a snow drift from the negative oval piece that I had left over from making my frame using one of the stitched slope border dies from the Slimline Nature Border Dies. Following that, I added my frame around my oval with some liquid adhesive and lastly added my stamped images with more 3D foam adhesive squares for extra dimension.
