Playful Polar Bears Winter Themed Holiday Card with Juliana

Merry Christmas, Sunny Studio Friends! It's Juliana Michaels and today I'm here to share a winter themed card featuring the Playful Polar Bears stamp set and Fancy Frames Square dies.

To get started, begin by stamping the cute little polar bears from Playful Polar Bears and color them using Copic markers. Next, die cut them using the coordinating die set. Create the frame by die cutting a piece of silver paper using the largest Fancy Frames Square die. Cut a piece of Bristol paper to just slightly smaller than the outside edge of the frame. This will be used as the background for the scene.

Take the Bristol paper and stamp the Snow Flurries stamp set with Versamark embossing ink onto it. Sprinkle the stamped image with white embossing powder and heat set it. Repeat this as you ink the entire background. Next, ink blend Distress Oxide ink in Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch onto the paper with a foam applicator. After the ink blending is completed, sprinkle the piece with water using a small paint brush. Dab the water with a paper towel to remove some of the ink and add to the snowy effect.

Complete the background by die cutting a piece of white cardstock using one of the stitched hillside borders from the Woodland Borders die. Add this to the bottom of the snow flake background, trim to size and then adhere the silver frame on top of this piece. Stamp the sentiment using the Alpaca Holiday stamp set. You are then ready to add your polar bears to the snowy scene.

If you didn't notice, the dies for the polar bears cut out their hands so they can hold something. There are several cute images in the stamp set however, for this card use the snowflake die from the Warm & Cozy dies. Cut out some snowflakes from silver paper and place this inside the polar bears hands.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this project and that you and your family have a wonderful holiday season!

Eskimo Kisses Slim Sized Winter Themed Holiday Card with Vanessa

Hello everyone! Vanessa here today with a slim-sized card using Eskimo Kisses. These longer cards make great backgrounds for fun scenes, providing enough space for the cute images. Mine is about 4 1/4 x 8 1/4.

I started with my white card base and masked off snow hills. Then I applied various red Distress Oxides with an ink blending tool to create my sky and removed the masks.

Now I stamped all the adorable images from various sets, including Eskimo Kisses, Playful Polar Bears, Polar Playmates, Gleeful Reindeer, Happy Owlidays. I colored them with Copics, die-cut everything with the matching dies and adhered the elements to the card. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of red cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it.

These winter scenes make me happy, I need to create more like them! I hope your day is wonderful, see you next week!

Build-A-Tag Festive Christmas Gift Tags with Franci

Hi there! Franci here with you today with some festive gift tags featuring the new Build-A-Tag #2 die set.

I love this new die set and I especially love creating happy tags for Christmas. So for today, I combined them with some older sets and a lovely red checked paper from the new Holiday Cheer 6x6 paper pack.

First, I die cut all of the elements to build my tags, using kraft cardstock, patterned paper, and white cardstock (to have a nice backing and perfect for stamping my sentiment). I also stamped lots of images from the Playful Polar Bear set and the Blissful Baking set. These bears were released some time ago, but they're still my fave and I think they are super cute all dressed up with cookies and sweets for Xmas! 

I colored all my images with Copics, before cutting them out and piecing the tags all together. I stamped my sentiment, "baked with love", and a little star on the back, and then I adhered all of the elements down on the front of my tags with a combo of liquid glue and foam adhesive.

I added a little bell with some gold twine and a little bow to each tag, and I also added lots of details to all of the images with a white gel pen. Here's a closer look to the sled, filled with lots of Christmas goodies. Isn't it cute?

Hope you are inspired to create your own happy Christmas gift tags with all the Sunny Studio cuties, and thank you so much for stopping by today!

Polar Playmates & Playful Polar Bear Winter Birthday Card with Nancy

Hey there Sunny fans, Nancy here with a look at a mix of wintery friends from the Polar Playmates and Playful Polar Bear stamp sets. I've mixed them up to create this birthday greeting for one of my January babies. This card is almost monochromatic with shades of blue and a just a hint of green. The color scheme ties the scene together and gives it a nice cool feel.

To create this card, begin with a strip of medium blue and darker blue adhered to the bottom of the card. A circle die cut of aqua cardstock was stamped with the Snow Flurries stamp to give it some movement and tie it into the theme. 

All of the whimsical images were watercolored with Zig Clean Color makers for a bright punch of color. They were adhered with pop dots for some added dimension. A few dew drops and the sentiment stamped in black and blue inks complete this card.

Making monochromatic card is a fun and easy way to combine multiple stamp sets. Check out our winter releases including Polar Playmates and Playful Polar Bears to create a scene of your own!

Playful Polar Bear Rainbow Stacked Presents Birthday Card with Franci

Hi there, I hope you are having a beary good time during these holidays so far! Franci here with you today with a winter birthday themed card. I think you can tell now that one of my favorite set from the last release is the Playful Polar Bears one. So I just had to pick a bear and the cute gift to create a scene! 

This critter has to be "Beary Happy" since it's sitting on stack of presents! First of all, I repetitively stamped the little gift onto some white cardstock, and the bear onto some kraft cardstock with Versamark ink. I then embossed all of the images in white. I colored all the gifts, sponging some Distress inks and I chose rainbow colors to give them a twist and have a colorful card! 

I created my card base, die cutting a stitched rectangle and a hill. I also die cut all the gifts and the bear with the coordinating dies. Then I masked part of the bear off to be able to color his scarf and his nose with Distress inks (as I did for the gifts) and I added a rosy cheek with a Copic marker. Here's a little trick: if your white embossed images are not perfect fill all the imperfections with a white gel pen (and yes, I did just that!). 

I created my stack of presents and glued them all down with liquid glue and foam tape. I then cut a thin stripe of kraft cardstock and embossed my sentiment on it - "Beary Happy Birthday". It makes me giggle all the time every time I read it! Finally I glued my decorated panel on to my card base and added the sentiment and lots of clear sequins to complete my scene. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, have a lovely day!!

Polar Playmates Winter Themed Let's Chill Card with Nancy

Hey there Sunny Studio fans, Nancy here with a look at the Polar Playmates stamp set. It's perfect for the season of wintery goodness. I like to have a pile of "just because" cards available during this time of year and this stamp set has just the right amount of cute for my greetings.

To create this card, begin by stamping a background using the snowflake stamps in the Polar Playmates stamp set. I used two different shades of blue ink to give it dimension. You could even use three different ink colors for more of a pop! A few strips of blue cardstock were cut into slivers to mimic "skis". These were a great backdrop for the die cut heart and our focal point - the baby seal. 

The sled from the Playful Polar Bears made for a great resting spot for our little seal. A fishing rod and two tiny fishes add whimsy to the winter scene. A simple sentiment in black at the bottom of the page completes the card. 

Take a look at the Polar Playmates stamp set for all of your winter sentiments. It's a very versatile set with lots of themed and just because possibilities!
