Snowmen in Sweaters Holiday Gift Bag with Nicky

Well hello everyone, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog where I'm sharing a fun Snowmen In Sweaters Holiday Gift Bag project. Read on for all the details:

I started by taking two matching sheets of patterned paper from the All Is Bright 6 x 6 Cardstock and I assembled the Sweet Treats Bag Die which is a very simple process and can be found in a useful video created by Sunny owner Mendi in THIS VIDEO.

I then adorned the bag with two snow drifts at the bottom of both the front and the back, using the Slimline Nature Borders Die, and I added a double layer of lace around the top edge (also front and back) using the Eyelet Lace Borders Die.

With the bag formed I used some cotton cord and knotted the handles in place and set it to one side.

I stamped the snowmen from Snowmen In Sweaters using Memento Ink in Black Tuxedo and I coloured the images with the following Copic marker combinations inspired by colours from the patterned paper:

Snowmen - C3, C1, C0, BG000
Teal - BG49, BG15, BG32
Red - R59, R39, R29, R27
Pink - RV63, RV52
Black - T9, T6, T4
White - C3, C1, C0
Blush - R22, R21, R20, R00
Noses - YR09, YR04

I shaded their coloured clothing using T3 and T2. Images were die cut, with the coordinating Snowmen In Sweaters Die, then highlighted with a white gel pen and applied to the bag with foam tape.

To adorn the bag further I added the little gift tag with the sentiment stamped from Happy Thoughts, I also added some Lacy Snowflakes die-cuts and a few sparkling clear sequins.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today to read about this treat bag, I hope you feel inspired to tackle one for yourself. Happy crafting!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Snowmen In Sweaters Card by Tammy Stark

Hi friends, Tammy Stark here with you today! I'm so excited to be guest designing with Sunny Studio for the holidays! The holiday release is full of adorableness with something for everyone! I created a card using one of my favorite sets, Snowmen in Sweaters. I love everything snowmen, so this will be a set I reach for year after year!

To begin, I stamped Snowmen in Sweaters, colored with Copic markers, and die cut the images with the Snowmen in Sweaters Dies. I just love the big, bold sentiment, which was stamped in a vibrant red ink. I wanted to create a fun snow globe scene, so I used the largest die from the Stitched Arch Dies to create the snow globe base. I lightly inked it with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink, then attached the stamped images with foam tape. I splattered white acrylic paint onto the snow globe scene to create a super snowy effect. I then cut a thin rectangle from kraft paper to create the snow globe base.

Next, I cut a piece of pink cardstock, just slightly smaller than A2 size and embossed it with the Buffalo Plaid Straight Die. I just love the subtle effect and dimension the Buffalo Plaid die gives to the background! I then attached the pink embossed background to a white A2 base, then adhered the snow globe using foam tape for dimension.

Lastly, I added some white snowflakes, die cut using the Lacy Snowflake Dies and Snowflake Circle Frame Die to complete my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Happy Holidays to you all!!

Hello everyone! Isha here today sharing the Merry Mocha stamp and dies, which aren't available for purchase this year but can be received as a free gift with a $45+ purchase through Monday, November 27 (see below for full promotion details). This is such a lovely stamp and perfect for this time of the year. As you know me I love rainbow colors, so I thought why not have hot mocha in rainbow colored cups with some rainbow frosting, interesting RIGHT?

I started by cutting a subtle snow pattern from the Joyful Holiday paper pack. Next, I flicked some white  and clear sparkle paint, let it dry. Sponge kitsch flamingo and tumbled glass distress inks. Cut a stripe of black pattern from the Sleek Stripes paper pack, adhere to the base. Die-cut the snowflake using the Lacy Snowflakes dies from clear sparkle paper. Adhere to the card.

Stamp the image five times, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere to the card using various thickness of 3d foam. Add some nuvo crystal glaze to the snowflakes. Add chunky glitter to the frosting. Finally, stamp the sentiment and die-cut using the coordinating dies and adhere to the card.

Holiday Hugs Tags with Tammy

Hello friends! Tammy here with some fun snow globe tags, featuring the adorable set, Holiday Hugs.

To begin, I stamped the images from Holiday Hugs, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Holiday Hugs Dies.  Next, I die cut the tags from Bristol smooth cardstock using the largest die from the Stitched Arch Dies. I ink blended the tags using Broken China and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. I splattered some white acrylic paint, thinned with water, onto the background to create a snowy look. 

I used the smallest pennant from the Slimline Pennant Dies to create the snow globe bases. I die cut the red gingham paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper using the smallest pennant die. I ran it through my die cut machine twice, moving the die to use the square end of the die to shorten it and to create the rectangular base.

I attached snow globe bases to the bottom of the stitched arches, then the bears to the tags with foam tape for dimension. Using the Brilliant Banner 1 Dies, I die the sentiment banners from pink cardstock, then white heat embossed the sentiment and attached them to the tags with foam tape. I added some die cut white snowflakes using the Lacy Snowflake Dies and Basic Mini Shape Dies 2.

Next, I punched a hole at the top of the tags, then added the holly and berry, die cut from the Woolen Mitten Dies. I added some red and white bakers twine to complete my snow globe tags.

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you next time!

Holiday Gift Tags with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone! Isha here and today we are sharing some gift tags with you. I decided to take the tag from the Mini Mat and Tag 3 dies and created four tags with different techniques.

For tag 1 and 2, I die-cut the tags using some light blue cardstock. Sponge distress inks salty ocean, chipped sapphire and black soot distress inks. On the first tag, I stamped the poinsettia from the Classy Christmas stamp set using versamark ink and then sprinkle WOW! metallic gold rich embossing powder, heat set. Add sparkle using Nuvo shimmer pen in midas touch. Flick gold paint to this. I added white pencil outline to the florals to pop them up a bit. Add the sentiment from the Inside Greetings - Holiday stamp set. Add a red bow for a pop of colour. 

For the next one, I die-cut some gold snowflakes using the Lacy Snowflakes dies. Adhere to the tag. Add gold splatters. Die-cut a tiny tag from the Window Quad Square die. Sponge salty ocean distress ink. Stamp the berries from the Winter Wreaths stamp, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp the fir leaves from the Holiday Greetings stamp and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp the sentiment and assemble everything together.

Tag 3 and 4: I die-cut some stripes of coloured cardstock and also a gold glitter paper. Adhere to the tag. Flick gold paint. Stamp the sentiment from the Holiday Express stamp set. Die-cut some snowflakes from the Lacy Snowflakes. Adhere to the tag.

For the next tag, I die-cut it twice. Die-cut the window from one of the tags. Sponge wilted violet distress ink to one piece. Flick gold paint and stamp the sentiment. Adhere the window tag using 3d foam to the sponged tag. Adhere the images.

Hope these gave you some ideas for those last moment tags for your gifts. Thank you for dropping by!
