Merry Mocha Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am creating a cute square card featuring the adorable Merry Mocha stamp and die set.

I started with a white square card base and added a layer of striped paper (Holiday Cheer) which was cut with the largest die from the Scalloped Square 1 small dies. Before adhering this panel to the base I created four square boxes with the Window Quad Square set. I love how these dies create the perfect design for smaller stamps.

I used the same die to create more square pieces from white card stock and a pink gingham paper (Gingham Pastels). Next, I glued these squares inside their frames, layering the white pieces on top, after I cut them to be a third of the size.

The mug from Merry Mocha stamp is a perfect match for the cuties from Christmas Cookies! All these images fit perfectly inside the frames as well, I love to combine several sets and see how well they work together!

After stamping and die cutting the mug and cookies, I used my Copics to color all the images in vibrant holiday tones. I added some details with a brown marker and a white gel pen. I used foam tape to adhere my images to the frames.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from Merry Mocha in a pink ink from my stash and used the matching die to cut it out. I mounted this phrase to the last remaining box with foam tape. I love finishing a card with some embellishments and today I chose the beautiful Pure White Jewels.

Thank you for joining me and I am looking forward to seeing your gorgeous creations with this sweet set! Happy crafting!

Merry Mocha Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a fun slimline Christmas card featuring the adorable Merry Mocha set. 

I stamped the mug from the Merry Mocha Stamps set four times onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Merry Mocha Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Whipped Cream: E40/81
Candy Cane: R24/29, C1/3
Holly: R24/29, YG03/17
Red Mug: R24/27/29
Green Mug: YG03/25/17
Pink Mug: RV00/02/55
Teal Mug: BG11/13/15

I used the smallest die from the Scalloped Square 1 Large Dies to die cut 5 squares out of white cardstock. I adhered each of the mugs onto the squares. I stamped the cute sentiment from the set directly onto the fifth square with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

I adhered the squares to a piece of pink cardstock (4" x 8.5") with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a white card base. I finished the card with some snowflakes die cut from white cardstock using the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2. I also added some coordinating jewels from the Bright Jewel Mix to the center of each of the snowflakes.

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.

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.

Merry Mocha Card with Nicky

Hello everyone this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog where I'm sharing a new holiday themed Merry Mocha slimline card. Read on for all the details.

I die cut white cardstock using the Slimline Scalloped Frame Die to form the frame (base panel). I then used the inner die to create the main focal point panel. From red cardstock I cut a panel in my paper trimmer that was slightly larger than the focal panel. I glued the red panel directly to the scalloped edge panel.

I masked off the focal panel just inside the faux stitched edge and ink blended using Cotton Candy Ink by The Stamp Market. The mask was removed, the panel was backed with white craft foam and glued to the red panel and set to one side.

I stamped the Merry Mocha mug images 6 times in black ink. I stamped the sentiment with Cherry Kisses ink by The Stamp Market. All images were die cut with the coordinating Merry Mocha Die.

I coloured the mugs of hot cocoa with the following Copic colour combinations:
Red - R59, R39, R29, R27, R24, R05
Green - G28, G19, G09, G02, YG41, G000
Pink - R56, R85, R83, R81
Mug handles - C5, C3, C0
Whipped cream - E41, E40

Each image was backed with foam tape and applied to the background panel. To finish the card, points were highlighted with a white gel pen. I dotted in some interest to the background using a Copic marker and a metallic gel pen and a few snowflake embellishments were the perfect finishing touch.

Many thanks for coming by to read about my card today, I hope you enjoy it. I'll be back next Friday with something brand new. Enjoy a lovely weekend.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Roly Poly Penguins Cards & Tag with Michelle Short

Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be guest designing on the Sunny Studio blog today using the 2024 holiday release! I fell in love with the Roly Poly Penguins, so most of my projects use those, but I do have a bonus project to share at the end too!

I started off my first project by stamping one of the penguins and candy canes from Roly Poly Penguins, as well as the two trees from Snowmen in Sweaters (I stamped the smaller one twice) onto white cardstock using black ink. I coloured them using Copic Markers before die cutting them out using the coordinating dies. I die cut a heart from white cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in the right-hand corner from the Inside Greetings Seasons stamps.

This sentiment is part of a larger one, so I had to do a bit of manoeuvring and masked off some words to stamp 'happy Christmas' using Versamark Ink. I applied White Embossing Powder and heat set. I then masked off the bottom part of the heart using paper that I had cut into a slope shape with scissors. I blended Distress Inks above (Salty Ocean, Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire and Seedless Preserves), removed any excess ink from the embossed sentiment with a cloth, and then moved the mask down to create snow drifts below. I ink blended these with the residual Seedless Preserves Ink on my brush.

I masked off the bottom part again and splattered white paint above to look like snow fall. I then placed the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die on top of a panel of white cardstock and ran it through my die cutting machine to cut the pattern into the cardstock. It was adhered to an A2 sized (4.25" x 5.5") white card base. The heart piece was then adhered on top with foam tape, followed by the tress, candy cane and penguin. To finish, I added a few white gel pen highlights to the penguin.

For my next project, I thought that the penguin showing just the top half of his body would work great for a tag. I first cut the base of the Build-A-Tag #1 dies from white cardstock, as well as the topper piece and eyelet. I added ink blending to the base layer with the same Distress Inks that I used on the card, but with a slightly heavier hand this time. I splattered white paint on top and set it aside to dry. I also blended the same inks to the eyelet piece (to match the sky).

Whilst the tag was drying, I stamped the penguin from Roly Poly Penguins onto white cardstock using black ink. I coloured him with Copic Markers and die cut him out using the coordinating dies. The sentiment, from Inside Greetings Seasons, was stamped onto black cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  It was then cut into two strips. I adhered the topper piece to the tag, followed by the eyelet with liquid glue. The penguin and sentiments were adhered using foam tape. To finish, I threaded twine through the top of the tag and tied in a bow.

I couldn't resist making another card with another penguin (they are too cute!), so I stamped another from Roly Poly Penguins onto white cardstock using black ink. He was then coloured using Copic Markers and die cut out using the coordinating dies. The sentiment, from Inside Greetings Seasons, was stamped onto black cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. It was then cut into a strip.

For the card base, I took a panel of red cardstock and die cut it using the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die. I placed the Diagonal Stripes Stencil on top and added ink blending using a slightly darker red shade of ink than the cardstock. I did this twice for both diagonals of the plaid. It was adhered to an A2 sized card base, and the penguin and sentiment simply adhered on top with foam tape. To finish, I added white gel pen highlights to the penguin and a little black glaze pen to his eyes.

My last project today uses the Merry Mocha stamps & coordinating dies. I first stamped the coffee cup, as well as the sentiment, from the Merry Mocha set onto white cardstock using black ink. I coloured the coffee cup using Copic Markers and die cut both out using the coordinating dies. I thought it would be fun to create a gift card holder, so I took the largest of the Scallop Tag Circle Dies and cut it three times from white cardstock.

Two of them were adhered together back-to-back and I cut the third one in half. I stamped a sentiment from Inside Greetings Seasons onto the one cut in half using black ink and adhered it to the back of the other ones, but only added adhesive to the outside edges, so that I could create a pocket for the gift card to fit into.

I adhered the coffee cup and sentiment to the front of the tag and tired twine in a bow at the top. I added Christmas Red Stickles to the berries and then embellished with silver gems to finish. The gift card was then popped inside the pocket.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my projects today using the holiday release. Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful day!
