Polar Playmates Christmas Themed Tags with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have some quick tags to share with you all using the Polar Playmates and Tag Topper Crescent Dies.

To begin I cut down three pieces of watercolour paper to 3" wide by 4 1/2" tall. I then used the largest Crescent Topper Die and cut down each of the pieces to have a tag like edge. Then I ink blended some Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Ink on top of each of the tags and sprinkled them with water to appear like snow. Next I cut down some Neenah Solar White cardstock to 3" wide and used my scissors to cut a snowy hill on each of the pieces. I then stamped 'Merry Christmas' from the Jolly Gingerbread stamp set with some black ink onto each of the snow pieces. I then added some foam tape along the back and adhered it down onto the bottom of each of my tags.

Next, I stamped, coloured and cut my images out from the Polar Playmates stamp set. I used Copic Markers for my colouring and the coordinating dies to cut them out. Once they were cut out I adhered them onto my tags with more foam tape. To finish up my tags, I punched holes at the top of my tags and threaded through some twine and that finished up my tags.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I'll catch you next time!

Polar Playmates Fluffy Husky Christmas Card with Vanessa

Hi everybody! Vanessa here today with a card using the cute Polar Playmates set. 

I wanted to make the little husky look really fluffy and hairy, so I used colored pencils on dark cardstock to achieve this. I first stamped the image onto the blue panel and colored the little fur ball, applying the color with flicks to create the hair. Then I masked off a snowy hill and applied white pigment ink with an ink blending tool. Using the pencils again, I created the shadow on the snow.

Now I covered the image with a mask and flicked on white paint droplets. I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment from Christmas Home and adhered the panel to the card base. Finally, I die-cut little stars from white glitter cardstock and adhered them to the sky.

I hope you like my fluffy fur ball :) Thanks for stopping by today!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Karin Akesdotter

Hi everyone! It's Karin Akesdotter here. I'm so excited to be back guesting for Sunny Studio today. I had a chance to play with the Polar Playmates set, the Playful Polar Bears set, and the Petite Poinsettias set.

For my first card, I used the Polar Playmates stamp set. I started by making a card base and then die cut a panel from white cardstock. I stamped and masked the seal, and then stamped the hole in the ice. I then colored the seal using Copic markers and stamped my sentiment. I also die cut some hearts from red cardstock and adhered them around the image. I adhered the finished panel to my card base with foam adhesive.

For my second card, I used the Playful Polar Bears stamp set and coordinating dies. I created a snow scene layering white die cut hills on blue polka dot paper. I stamped, colored, and cut my images and then adhered to create my scene with foam adhesive.

This next card also features the Playful Polar Bears stamp set and coordinating dies. I inked my white cardstock with Distress inks to create an ombre like sky background. Once it was completely dry, I sprinkled embossing powder on the background and heat embossed it to create snow. I cut a frame and then stamped, colored and die cut three cute bears. I assembled all my pieces together to create a little snowy bear scene.

Once again, I used the Polar Playmates stamp set and coordinating dies for a fun little card. I started by making a square card base from light blue cardstock, and then created a snow background by dry embossing a panel of white cardstock. I stamped, colored and die cut the cute images from the stamp set and assembled them all on my card to create a cute arctic scene.

For my last card, I used the Petite Poinsettias stamp set and coordinating dies. I stamped the poinsettia and leaves using different shades of red and green ink, and then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I then made a window card from white cardstock. I created a pretty background for the window opening by stamping snowflakes onto blue cardstock. I stamped the sentiment and adhered the finished panel to my card base. I then added my stamped flower and leaves to the center of the window.

Thanks so much for having me back today. I hope you enjoyed my cards.

Snow Flurries Little Husky Christmas Tree Ornament with Franci

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday! It's Franci here with you today with a pretty Christmas ornament to decorate your tree! I had so much fun with the new Snow Flurries stamp set, and that little husky from the Polar Playmates is just perfect! 

First, I die cut a circle to fit inside my plastic ornament. Then I embossed the snow flurries with white embossing powder and sponged some Picked Raspberry distress ink on top. Next, I stamped my little husky with memento ink, colored it with Copics and die cut it with its coordinating dies. I glued it in the center of my circle with foam tape and drew some details with a white gel pen.

Then I created the snowball with some fake snow and added some candies behind the decorated circle in the other half of the ball. To secure your decorated circle just glue a little string behind it (it will be closed in the middle between the 2 halves of the ball, or you can also glue it down to the first half). I added some twine and a cute bow and you can also write a little secret message and put it inside! 

Hope you like my project and thank you so so much for stopping by!

Petite Poinsettias Merry Christmas Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I'll be using the Petite Poinsettias stamp set to create a simple Christmas Card. I love these layering sets, they're so realistic and gorgeous!

To begin I stamped out three Poinsettias with some red inks, layering them up from lightest to darkest as I go. I then stamped the centres with two yellow inks and the leaves with two greens also. I then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I took a piece of watercolour paper, and ink blended some Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers inks in the centre, and faded them out into white. I then flicked some water over top, dried it off with a heat tool and set it off to the side.

I then used the Merry Word Die to cut out a gold merry sentiment, and added little strips of foam tape onto the back. I then added foam tape to the back of my poinsettias also. I then adhered down my leaves and poinsettias in the top left hand corner. I then adhered my Merry word below and took the 'Merry Christmas' sentiment from Polar Playmates, masked it off and just stamped 'Christmas' below the Merry die cut. To finish off my card, I coated the poinsettias in Wink of Stella and also adhered my entire panel onto some blue woodgrain patterned paper and then adhered that onto a card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I'll catch you next time.

Polar Playmates Arch Framed Winter Scene with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I'll be using the Polar Playmates set to create a Christmas winter scene card along with the Semi Circles Dies to create an inlaid frame.

To begin I first stamped out my images from Polar Playmates onto some white cardstock, then coloured them with Copic Markers. I used very similar colours to my last card using this set since they worked so well together. Once they were coloured, I cut them out using the coordinating dies. 

Next, I wanted to create an arched panel, so I first cut a rectangle die and cut a piece of watercolour paper out, then I took the Semi Circles Dies and used the third size down and cut that into the rectangle, the I used an exacto knife and a ruler to cut the rest of the piece out so it looks like an arch. I then used some Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink to ink blend over the arch frame. I splattered on some water and then dried it off with a heat tool.

Next, I adhered a piece of paper behind the arch panel and stamped the sentiment 'Hoping you have a' from the Polar Playmates stamp set and then 'Merry Christmas' from Playful Polar Bears with black ink into the centre. I then adhered down all my images with foam tape at the bottom of arch. I pulled a piece of plaid paper from Lawn Fawn and adhered it down to my white card base. Then adhered my arched panel on top also and that finished up my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I'll catch you all next time.

Jolly Gingerbread Snowy Hilltop Gingerbread House Card with Vanessa

Hi there! Vanessa here today with a new card using Jolly Gingerbread. Did you ever make a real gingerbread house? I tried once and failed - but with these stamps you can create the cutest gingerbread scenes easily :)

I first hand-cut a snowy hill from white cardstock, stamped my sentiment and adhered the hill to the blue card base. Now I stamped the images, colored them with Copics and fussy-cut everything. 

I added hearts from the set and snowflakes from Polar Playmates with white ink and adhered the images to the card.

I hope you like my yummy scene today! Thank you for stopping by!

25 Days of Christmas Tags with Franci, Lexa & Mendi

Hello there!  We're so excited to be joining you today to share some fun ideas for holiday gift tags for Day 8 of Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags!  :)

Hello there! Franci here with you today with some festive tags! I'm super happy to be part of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2017 by Tracey!!

I created these tags with the Petite Poinsettias and the Festive Greetings stamp sets. I die cut them with the Tag Topper Dies -Traditional and I colored them with Distress Inks. The colors that I used are: Spiced Marmalade, Tumbled Glass, Shabby Shutters and Abandoned Coral. I sprinkled them with a little with water, and then put a paper towel on the top to remove the excess water and let them dry.

I stamped all my poinsettias and I die cut them with the coordinating dies. Then I stamped all of my sentiments onto my tags with the Versamark ink and heat embossed all of them with a silver embossing powder. Finally, I glued all of the flowers in place and added some twine and ribbons to make them extra festive. Perfect for all my Christmas gifts! 

Next up is Lexa... Hi there!  Today I used the Cresent Tag Topper Dies to make my tag.  I used the largest one which is 3" wide. Since I'm totally a dog person, I choose this adorable puppy from Pet Sympathy and add the Santa hat from Jolly Gingerbread Stamps. This little friend originally had a heart on his mouth, but I replaced it with a Christmas sock from Playful Polar Bear instead. The present comes from the older stamp set, Christmas Icons, just like it's name you can find anything related to Christmas in one stamp set.

I blended some Mowed Lawn Distress Inks for the background and stamped some cute paws with green dye ink. A classic red, green and gold won't hurt at all. It's simple and lovely as always. I use matching thin ribbon and twines, and finished it with some pretty sequins.

For the last set of tags, I couldn't resist joining in the fun with some tags of my own using our Sunny Semi Circles dies for the tag shape and Polar Playmate stamps (& various other sets) for embellishing.  ;)  

I cut a 2.5" wide x 4" high tag from white cardstock which I masked off for the snow drift before applying Shaded Lilac distress ink to my background and rounding the bottom corners.  I then stamped the background twice with our mini Frosty Flurries stamps which I heat embossed with white pearl embossing powder.

Then for each tag, I cut two more from black polka-dot paper measuring 3" x 4.5".  I wanted my tags to look as cute on the back as on the front so I adhered my cardstock tag to the patterned paper and stitched around the edge before adhering the second piece cut from patterned paper to the back of my tags.  Once they were adhered together, I was able to use my Crop-a-dile to punch a hole in the top and set an eyelet to run my twine through.  I love the finished look an eyelet gives to gift tags, don't you?

I hope we've inspired you to create some gift tags of your own and will join the festivities over on Tracey's blog.  There's so many great prizes up for grabs.  ;)
