Mini Mat & Tag Die Focused Cards with Alma and Marie

Hello, my dears. It's Alma and today I'd like to present you my great passion: crafting with tags! I think you can use them in all situations! I was so excited that Sunny Studio Stamps released a Mini-Mat and Tag Dies series this year. So awesome and versatile! I chose the Mini Mat & Tag 1 Dies and used them for a Diagonal Double Pocket card. You can find instructions here. 

First of all, I punched out the tags from light blue cardstock. Then I stamped the alpacas from the Alpaca Holiday Stamps set and coloured them with Copics. For the fluffy piles of snow I used the Fluffy Clouds Border Dies. I used design paper from the All is Bright 6x6 Paper pad to decorate the card. Just love the turquoise snowflake paper. 

For the background design, I punched the birch tree trunks from the Rustic Winter Dies set and punched the Scalloped Fence Dies. 

Now stamp all the texts, glue everything together, write nice winter and Christmas thoughts on the tags.... and the winter wish card is ready.

Hello Crafty Friends, Marie here! I am super excited to be back on the blog to share my latest project with you! Tags are one of my favorite things about gift giving! It is a charming little detail that makes giving gifts to friends and loved ones even more personalized and special. Today I am sharing three Christmas Tags created using three of the newly released Mini Mat and Tag Die Sets. I also dressed up my tags using images from the beautiful Classy Christmas Stamp Set. 

I started off by die cutting three tags from solid 110lb Neenah Solar White Cardstock. I used the Tag dies from the Mini Mat & Tag 1 Dies, Mini Mat & Tag 2 Dies and Mini Mat and Tag 3 Dies. After cutting out the tags, I cut all the tag tops from  from Gold cardstock. I also die cut all the tags again using craft paper and Attached them to the backs of all the tags. For the front of my dies, I die cut the Mini Mat & Tag 2 again using craft cardstock and attached it to the front of my tag. For my other 2 tags I used the rectangle die from set 3 to create rounded rectangle centers for my other 2 tags. I splattered watered down acrylic paint to all the craft cardstock fronts. 

For my Christmas images, I used Distress Ink in the color Antique Linen to stamp them onto watercolor paper. I then used Derwent Inktense water soluble pencils to watercolor  my images in a traditional red and green palette. I then adhered all my gold tag tops to each corresponding tag using Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue. I added some gold trim to 2 of my tags and attached my images. I propped up some of the images using foam tape for some dimension. For my poinsettia tag, I used some Sunny Studio Gold Jewels embellishments, flipping them over to expose the shiny diamond side. 

On the back of my tags, I used the Loopy Letters Dies to create my "To". For the  finishing touch to my tags, I added some red and white Christmas Twine and Gold Twine to the tops of all my tags. 

There you have it friends! Super easy-to -create gift tags to decorate all your presents this Holiday season! I am super happy with the way my tags turned out! I can't wait to put them on gifts! Thanks so much for joining me today! Until next time, Happy Paper Crafting!

Squirrel Friends Cards with Marie and Alma

Hello Crafty Friends! Marie here. Happy to be back on the blog for more card making inspiration! Today I am sharing a friendship card starring my favorite little happy squirrels from the Squirrel Friends stamp set. I also created some gorgeous leaves using the Autumn Greenery dies  - both products are from Sunny Studio Stamps recent Fall/Winter 2022 Release. 

I started off with adhering a pink A2 sized smooth cardstock paper onto an A2 sized sturdy 110lb Neenah Solar white cardstock. Using Sunny Studio's Woodgrain embossing folder, I created a beautiful wood grain background. I then cut a heart shape out of  Bristol Smooth Cardstock. I used Distress Ink Oxide in the color Saltwater Taffy for the inside of my heart. I then die cut leaves from the Autumn Greenery dies and the smaller leaves are from the Out on A Limb dies. I inked my leaves using Distress Ink in Cracked Pistachio. 

I stamped my adorable Squirrel images using Distress Ink in the Color Antique Linen, and watercolored them using Derwent Inktense Pencils. I felt like my card needed a frame so I die cut a white Scallop frame using the Fancy Frame Rectangle dies. 

I love the stitched detailing on the scallop frame so much that I decided to take the smaller of the 2 frames included in the Fancy Frame Rectangles and used it on the inside of my card to frame my sentiment. For the word "Nutty" I used the Loopy Letters dies. 

After putting together my inside sentiment, I scored the top of the inside panel and attached it to my card front panel. I glued all my images and die cuts using a combination of Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue and double sided foam tape. 

That does it for this week's card inspiration, simple and sweet just the way I like it! And I hope you like it too! Thank you so much for joining me today! Until next time, Happy PaperCrafting!!!

Hi dear ones, Alma here. Autumn is slowly arriving and I love it when the leaves rustle and fall. Today I want to show you a card with the cute Squirrel Friends Stamps.

I coloured them and cut them out with the Squirrel Friends Dies. I love the tree stump. Isn't that a perfect storage for the acorns? Then I cut a rectangular card and coloured it with Distress Oxide Inks Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron and sprinkled with water. Then I cut out a second beige cardstock and punched out a window with the Stitched Arch Dies.

After that I stamped the text. Then I glued everything together and added the grass from the Slimline Nature Border Dies. Finally, I punched out the leaves from the Autumn Greenery Dies set and coloured them with Copics. Finished!!!!

Autumn Tree Die Focused Card with Marie

Hello Crafty Friends, Marie here! I know Fall has just begun but it's never too early to start crafting for the Holidays so for my card inspiration this week, I've created a Christmas Card which features the Autumn Tree Dies and Penguin Party Stamp - both products are part of their recent Fall/Winter 2022 release. 

To create my card, I started by die cutting 2 Panels sized A2 from a Sturdy 110 lb Neenah Solar White Card Stock Paper. I also Die Cut a scalloped frame using Sunny's Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies and I cut out some adorable fences using the Scalloped Fence Die. I cut my fences from a gold metallic paper. 

Using the Autumn Tree Die I die cut a winter tree. The beauty of the Autumn Tree Dies is that it doesn't have to just be a fall tree. It can be anything you want it to be. So I turned this fall tree into a winter tree just by adding snow. 

I then ink blended my background onto an A2 sized mint green cardstock paper from the Cools paper pack collection from scrapbook.com. I used the Distress Inks in the colors : EverGreen Bough, Uncharted Mariner, And Chipped Sapphire. I adhered my colored background to one of my sturdy A2 Panel. 

I used watered down acrylic paint to add white splatter all over my inked background to capture the essence of snowfall. I also did the same to my tree. I added the same white paint to my tree branches to mimic snow and I also painted some fallen snow onto my gold scalloped fence. 

I stamped out the super duper ADORABLE Penguins from the Penguin Party Stamp set using Distress ink in Antique Linen onto watercolor paper and did some no-line watercoloring using Derwent Inktense water soluble pencils. I cut them out using the Penguin Party Corresponding Dies.

I attached my other A2 Panel to my card base from the top so my card opens upward. I assembled and glued down my tree and images using Bearly Arts Precision Craft Glue, and foam tape. I didn't have much room for a sentiment on the front of my card, so I decided to keep it very simple with a beautiful "Merry Christmas" greeting that I achieved using Sunny's Loopy Letters Dies.

That does it for my card inspiration this week! I hope I've inspired you to start your Holiday Crafting Early! Hopefully we can all get it done before the actual Holidays roll around and mail everything off on time! Until next week, Happy Card Making crafty friends!

Fall Scenes Cards with Marie and Alma

Hello Everyone, Marie here! We are only one day away from the first day of Fall 2022 so I decided to create a Happy Fall card featuring the Fall Scenes stamp set and the Squirrel Friends stamps from Sunny's latest release! If you are anything like me and sometimes struggle with what to do with your background when creating a card, it is so nice to have scene stamps on hand! I absolutely adore these Fall scenes stamps that make it so easy to build up a scene. 

I started off by die cutting an A2 sized panel from water color paper and another one from Bristol Smooth cardstock paper. I also cut out a white scalloped panel as my card base from 110 lb. sturdy Neenah Solar White cardstock paper.  

I stamped my fall scene with Distress Ink in the color "Antique Linen"  onto the watercolor paper. I proceed to color my scene using the Derwent inktense Pencils. I also stamped out some images from the Squirrel Friends Stamps onto watercolor paper, and colored those as well. 

After coloring my fall scene and images, I die cut them using the Fall Scene dies and the Squirrel Friends dies. To Create my "Happy Fall" sentiment, I used the Loopy Letters dies. I am so in love with the Loopy Letters Die! I have never seen cursive letters dies before and these are so perfect for creating your own sentiments with a fun and elegant touch! 

To create my background panel, I took the A2 sized Bristol Smooth Cardstock and stenciled in some fall clouds using Distress Ink in the color "Speckled Egg". I then attached my die cut fall scene to my inked panel, and attached it to my white scalloped base panel. 

To finish everything off, I attached all my images using Bearly Art Precision Glue, Double Sided Score Tape, and double sided Foam Tape. 

Thank You for Joining me today!!! Until next time, Happy Crafting and Happy Fall 'Yall!

Hello everyone. Alma here with you. I am known for colourful and detailed cards. Nevertheless,
I sometimes like it a bit simpler and I really liked the new Halloween stamp from the 
Fall Scenes Stamps set.

First I stamped the image on the tag from Mini Mat & Tag 3 Dies and coloured it with Copic 
markers.
Then I punched the rectangular card from the above mentioned die set, stamped the cobwebs
from the Too Cute to Spook stamps set and glued everything together onto black cardstock.

Finally, I added a nylon yarn into the tag and the Halloween greeting is ready.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Barbara Tarayao

Hi there! I'm Barbara and I am thrilled to be back as a guest designer for Sunny Studio! 

For the sunset miss you card I used the Tropical Trees Backdrop die. Using distress oxide ink, I ink blended a sunset sky then masked off half the panel and ink blended the water. I die cut the sand and the trees from brown and green card stock. I used a white gel pen to add some detail. I also used the Sunny Studio's Loopy Letters dies to create the "miss you" sentiment.

For the Hello Baby card I used the Baby Elephants stamp set. I colored them with Prisma colored pencils and fussy cut them out. I used distress inks to make the background and the Hello sentiment. I die cut the word baby out of white card stock. I'm in love with these cute elephants!!

I hope I've inspired you today with your summer cardmaking!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Barbara Tarayao

Hi there! I'm Barbara and I am thrilled to be a guest designer for sunny studios! I just think valentine cards are so fun to make. I love the colors! I have been paper crafting for over 20 years now. It's my way to relax. If you asked me what kind of card is my favorite to make I would have to say I love it all! I'm obsessed with making cards so I guess whatever season it is that's my favorite card to make!, to share a few projects that I made using the new release.

This is a mini-slim line card I made using the Passionate Penguins stamp set and the Heart Bouquet stamp set. The love is die cut from the Loopy Letters dies. I masked off a rectangle and ink blended pink clouds with distress ink. I stamped and colored the images with Copic markers and fussy cut them out and adhered them to the front of the card.

I used the loopy letters alphabet dies for the sentiment cut from white card stock. I stamped the flowers from the Cherry Blossoms stamp set in several shades of dye ink. I fussy cut them out and adhered to a white card stock panel that I ink blended with Distress ink to highlight the sentiment. I added some clear drops for a bit of sparkle.

I made some mini-Valentine cards using the Passionate Penguins stamp set and for the background I used the Quilted Hearts Landscape die. I colored the images in with Copic markers and fussy cut them out and adhered them with the sentiments with foam tape.
