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!

Alpaca Holiday Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and I have another cute holiday card for you! This time we are creating an oval design with the sweet images from the Alpaca Holiday stamp and die set.

To create an oval shaped card base from white card stock, I folded the paper in two and used the largest die from Stitched Ovals. You just have to make sure to place the die higher than the fold line from the card stock, that way it will not cut through.

I wanted to have a fun frame for my scene, so I opted for the largest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 dies combined with a smaller die from the Stitched Ovals. These sets work great together. My paper was a sheet of teal from the Polka-dot Parade pack. To give this frame a more distressed look I went in with a blending brush and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide.

To build the scene I needed three more pieces of white card stock in an oval shape (Stitched Ovals), two for the snow banks and one for my sky (also inked with Salvaged Patina and sprinkled with splatters of white paint to mimic the snow).

From the Alpaca Holiday stamp, I selected three cuties and the mountain range (twice). I colored my images in pink, brown and teal Copics colors. Then it was time to build the scene layer by layer, starting with the sky and adding the two snow banks (cut with a die from my stash). Next, I added the two mountain ranges tucked in behind the snow. I used the second piece to strategically place the hills, doing some cutting with my scissors were needed. Then, I could add the frame and the sweet alpacas.

For oval designs, I love to work with a banner (Brilliant Banners 2), because it has that perfect rounded shape. My sentiment was taken from the Inside Greetings Holiday set and stamped in a pink ink from my stash. As embellishments, I glued three small snowflakes (Snowflake Circle Frame die) across the sky, adorning each of them with an Iridescent Jewel. For this winter scene, I added lots of snowy dots with my white gel pen! 

I hope you got inspired by these cute alpacas for your holiday cards! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Holiday Hugs & Woolen Mitten Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun mitten shaped card featuring these absolutely adorable bear from the Holiday Hugs set as well as a custom made sentiment using the new Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp set. 

I stamped the bear and mug from the Holiday Hugs Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Holiday Hugs Dies to die-cut them out. I made sure to use the special die that allows you to diecut the arms on the bear to allow her to hold the mug. I colored the images with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Bear: E40/41/81 W3, R20, R000/20
Scarf: RV10/21/23, RV21/23/25/29, C1
Mug: RV23/25/29, E33, R24

Merry Everything and Happy Always! I love this fun sentiment, but it is hard to find a premade clear stamp for it. I used the recently released Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp set for this task. This fun stamp set has oodles of holiday-themed words and is just perfect for creating custom sentiments. I aligned the words that I needed and stamped onto a piece of white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used a paper trimmer to trim it out. 

Next, I used the Woolen Mitten Dies to die-cut the mitten once out of pink and twice out of white cardstock. I also diecut the cuff out of pink cardstock. The pink mitten was placed into the Cable Knit 6 x 6 Embossing Folder and run through the die-cutting machine. This created a beautiful, deep-knit impression on the mitten. I adhered the pink to one of the white mittens. Foam tape was used to adhere the cuff to the pink mitten.

In order to create a hinge for the card, I used a score board to score a line along the top 0.5" of the second white mitten. I stamped one of the sentiments from the Inside Greetings Seasons Stamp set onto this white mitten with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink and Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used a strong double-sided tape to adhere the two white mittens to each other along the previously scored 0.5" space along the top of the mitten.

The colored images and the sentiment were adhered to the card front with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. I finished the card with a few white snowflakes die-cut using the Basic Mini Shape 2 and Basic Mini Shape 5 Dies. 

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 inspiration.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Merry Mice Card with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and I am super excited to show you my first Christmas card of the year! How fun is it to add lots of snow to your projects or make them sparkle and shine! You know I love cute critters and today is no exception, we are featuring the cute images from Merry Mice and it’s coordinating dies.

As usual, I started with a white card base and cut an extra panel with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron. Next, I created my focal point for the snowy scene and die cut a window with the second largest of the Stitched Arched dies. I set this piece aside for another project.

For extra dimension, I ran the chevron panel again through the die cutting machine with the Dapper Diamonds embossing folder. Fun fact about this method is that you can reverse the panel and get a totally different look, and that is what I did today.

To create the sky and snow banks I used extra pieces of white card stock slightly bigger that the arched frame. I finally decided to use my Distress Mica Stain in the color Snow Flurries which has been in my stash for a while now. The result is a beautiful shiny sky, but you can also use any Distress Oxide inks that you have and a shimmer spray. I glued the snow banks and sky piece to the back of the diamond panel and added the whole to my card base.

After selecting the images from the adorable Merry Mice set, I started coloring with my Copics. I went with yellow, pink and blue shades which go well with the background.  

Next, I mounted the images into the scene with foam tape. The sentiment was taken from the Inside Greetings Holiday set (they also work great on the outside of a card!) and stamped onto a Brilliant Banner 4 piece with a blue ink from my stash. Lastly, I added a few Champagne Clear Jewels for that extra shimmer and shine.

I can’t wait to see all your wonderful Christmas cards! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Birthday Mouse Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun birthday card featuring images from the Harvest Mice and Birthday Mouse sets. I just love these adorable mice.

I started by creating the background and using the Moroccan Circles Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of pink cardstock. I trimmed a slim edge off the panel and adhered it to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5"). Next, I used the second smallest die from the Scalloped Square 1 Small Dies to die-cut two squares out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I lightly colored the upper part of the sky with Copic markers. I added a piece of craft foam to the backside of the squares before adhering them to the pink panel.

I stamped the mice from the Harvest Mice Stamps and Birthday Mouse Stamps, the cheese from the Merry Mice Stamps, and the hats from the Party Pets Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Harvest Mice Dies, Birthday Mouse Dies, Merry Mice Dies and Party Pets Dies to die-cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Mice: E50/51/53/33/35, R000/20
Hats: RV13
Cheese: Y13/15, RV10/13/14
Balloons: YG00/01/03/17, RV000/10//21/13/14, Y11/13/15
Bicycle: RV13, C1, W5
Sky: RV1000/10
Banner: YG01/03/17

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner 3 Die to die-cut a banner from Neenah Solar white cardstock. I colored the banner with Copic markers. I stamped the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Inside Greetings: Birthday Stamps directly onto the banner with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I highlighted it with a white gel pen. The colored images and sentiment were adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.
