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.

Hogs & Kisses Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a clean and simple Christmas card featuring these adorable hogs from the Hogs & Kisses set. Aren't these chubby hogs just the cutest?! I love how happy and excited they are for the holidays!

I stamped the hogs from the Hogs & Kisses Stamp and a candy cane from the Roly Poly Penguins Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock.  I used the coordinating Hogs & Kisses Dies and the Roly Poly Penguins Dies to die cut them out. I also used the dies in the Hogs & Kisses set to die cut a few hearts out of red cardstock. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Hogs: E000/00/21/11/13/15, R00/20, R22, E41/43/44
Red: R14/24/29/39
Green: YG01/03
White: C1

For my background, I used the Frilly Frames Hexagon Dies to die cut a panel out of white cardstock. I masked off the bottom half and lightly ink blended with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. I used a white gel pen to add some dots for snow. 

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner Dies 1 to die cut a banner out of teal cardstock. I stamped the "Holiday Hogs & Kisses" sentiment from the Hogs & Kisses Stamp set directly onto the banner with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used a Copic marker to add a little shadow onto the banner. The banner was assembled and highlighted with a white gel pen.

I adhered the sentiment banner and colored images to the inked panel with foam tape for a bit of interest. The panel was adhered to a piece of red cardstock before it was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5"). I finished the card with a few of the red die cut hearts.

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.

Snow One Like You Card with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and today we are creating a sweet holiday card with the adorable Snow One Like You stamp and die set. I love that the cute girl and her snowman!

I colored this image with my Copics and added white highlights with a gel pen. Next, I pulled a red card base from my stash and cut a white panel with the outer die of the Frilly Frames Chevron set. We will use this piece to build the entire background of this scene card.

To start, I stamped the tree scene from Scenic Route directly on to this panel and used my Copics again for the coloring. To mimic the snow on the trees I added a bunch of fine lines with my white gel pen. I repeated this step on a separate piece of white card stock, but this time I only focused on the lower three pines. I used my scissors to fussy cut these trees, traced the outline with a black marker and glued them to the left of the panel filling in that part of the scene.

I wanted a dramatic sky, which I created with a cloud stencil from my stash and a combo of Saltwater Taffy and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks. After mounting the girl and her snowman to the scene, I added lots of white snowflakes with a white paint marker.

My sentiment was pulled from the Inside Greetings Holiday set and stamped on a white banner with Versafine Onyx Black ink. To add more interest to the sky I added lots of little white stars (Snowflake Circle Frame die).

And that finishes my card, I hope you are having fun creating your holiday projects! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Holiday Hugs Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and for this sweet holiday card I am featuring one of my all time favorites, the Holiday Hugs stamp and die set! I love that the cute bear can hold several accessories for any occasion.

I grabbed a white card base from my stash and started to create a border using a combination of the Frilly Frames Stripes die (outer die) and a smaller Rounded Rectangle Window die. This gives you a lovely scalloped border, wide enough to frame the cute bear and leave some room for a large sentiment.

Next, I cut a rectangle from a teal polka dot paper (Dots & Stripes Pastels) with my scissors. It doesn’t have to be precise since the edges get covered with the frame. I stamped my cute bear and a Christmas stocking (Holiday Hugs stamp). All the coloring was done with my Copics in a festive red and green combo. While I had my Misti out, I also created the sentiment in a red ink from my stash (Holiday Greetings).

To assemble the card I glued the pattern paper to the back of the frame and adhered this piece to the card base with liquid glue. Next, I added the bear with foam tape and tucked the stocking in his little paws. The sentiment was turned into a chipboard piece by adding two layers of white to the back of the red one.

For adding snowflakes to my Christmas cards, I love using the Snowflake Circle Frame to create a bunch of them at once! Each snowflake was adorned with an Iridescent Clear Jewel in the center.

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

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 these adorable Roly Poly Penguins who are using the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp set to wish you a Holly Jolly Christmas.

For the layout, I diecut a piece of white cardstock using the outer die of the Frilly Frames Polka Dot Dies. Next, I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and lightly ink blended it with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink. I trimmed the pink panel down to fit inside white scalloped panel. 

I stamped the images from the Roly Poly Penguins 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 diecut them out. I also used the Basic Mini Shape Dies and Basic Mini Shape Dies 3 to diecut some holly leaves and berries out of white and red cardstock. I colored the elements with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T4/5/7/9, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R00/20
Red: R24/29/39
Green: YG01/03/17
White: C00/1/3

For the sentiment, I diecut a banner out of red cardstock using the Brilliant Banner 3 Dies.  The Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp set from the latest release was used to create a sentiment. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark Watermark ink onto the red banner and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder.

I adhered the sentiment banner and all of the colored images onto the inked panel with foam tape. I added some snowflakes diecut from white cardstock using the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2 and the Basic Mini Shape Dies 5. Finally, I adhered the entire panel onto the front of a top folding white card base (4.25" x 5.5"). 

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.
