Santa Claus Lane & North Pole Christmas Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some Christmas cards featuring our Santa Claus Lane Stamps and North Pole Stamps.

My first card today, showcasing our Santa Claus Lane Stamps, is a rare creation for me because it utilizes only a single stamp set. I blended three large dots onto my card front using Salvaged Patina, Kitsh Flamingo, and Twisted Citron Distress inks to create a way to ground three mini scenes created with the images from the set. First, I have Santa holding a candy cane going down the chimney. My next scene has the other Santa from the set next to a decorated Christmas tree using the included ornaments, star, and gifts. My last scene along the bottom of my card has Santa standing next to the fireplace with four stockings hanging from the mantel. As a finishing touch, I stamped a greeting from the set in my card's top, right corner.

For my second card I used Mrs. Claus, Santa in a new pose, two elves, and the sign from our North Pole Stamps, with the reindeer from Reindeer Games Stamps, and the sleigh and bags of toys from the Santa Claus Lane Stamps. To set the mood of the North Pole in my background, I inked my sky using Salty Ocean Distress Ink, added snowflakes with a white gel pen, and then layered in the snowy fir trees and hills using the Scene Route Stamps. Lastly, I stamped the "Spreading Christmas Cheer" sentiment from the North Pole set onto a thin pennant strip from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Reindeer Games Card with Amanda

Hello there and welcome to the Sunny Studio blog! Amanda here! I’m so glad you’re here with me today as I share this SUPER JOLLY card with you! I am pumped about making holiday cards!  I know we have a lot of time left, but it’ll be here before you know it! Have you started making yours yet?? Either way, I hope this card inspires you to make one!

To make this card, I started by cutting the largest frame from the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies. This die actually cuts 2 separate pieces, which is great for creating dimension! I glued the outer frame directly to an A2 card base. I set the other frame aside to use later.

Next, I trimmed a white piece of cardstock to 5”x3.75”. On this panel, I stamped the hilly scene from the Scenic Route Stamps. With the leftover ink that was on the stamp, I stamped the image again on a piece of low tack masking tape. I trimmed the masking tape so that I could mask off the hills and trees.  

Then, I used Catherine Pooler’s Hot Tub and Skylight inks and a blending brush to blend out the sky. Once that was finished, I spritzed it with water and set it aside. On another piece of white cardstock, I stamped my deer, gifts, and ornaments from the Reindeer Games Stamps. Once stamped, I colored the images with Copic markers.  

Here are the colors I used:
Deer: E30, E31, E33, E35, E37, E50, R00, R22,R46,  E41, E43, W5, 27
Gifts: BG70, BG72, BG75, BG78, R422, R46, BG93, BG96, BG99

I removed the mask from the background panel and colored in the trees and snow.
Trees: BG93, BG96, BG99
Snow: BG70, BG72

After I was finished coloring, I cut the deer, ornaments, and gifts out using the coordinating Reindeer Games Dies. On the background panel, I stamped my sentiment in black ink.

I glued my background panel to my card base. I, then, applied foam tape behind my inner frame and attached it o the card base as well. I adhered 3D foam squares behind the images and added them to my card. Using some white acrylic paint, I added “snow” and dots on the deers.

I love the dimension the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies make! I hope you enjoyed learning how I created this card and I hope it inspires you to make something crafty today!

Reindeer Games Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back with this cheerful shaker card showcasing Santa and the reindeers getting ready for the holiday season. As very often I picked images from different sets to create a nice and cute mix & match scene, and as always everything is listed down below.

So, speaking of which, I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • North Pole - Santa, north pole sign, nice list • Reindeer Games - reindeers • Snowmen In Sweaters - trees, snowflakes • Santa Claus Lane - presents, sack.

I added highlights and details to the images with a white gel pen, applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the trees to make the snow on them sparkle, and then moved on to the shaker panel and cut all the pieces I needed to build it. First, I cut a Rounded Rectangle Mat panel out of an All Is Bright turquoise paper using the largest die from the set. 

Next I picked the fourth smallest Rounded Rectangle Window die and cut two openings out of my turquoise panel. And using that same fourth smallest die again, I cut two panels out of white cardstock and cut a wavy border out of each of those white panels to create two snowy borders. For the background of my shaker, I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a Joyful Holiday polka dot panel.

Before assembling my shaker panel, I added texture to the different pieces. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters to the turquoise panel and to the polka dot panel, I mixed liquid stardust with water and added sparkling splatters to the snowy borders, and when my turquoise panel was dry, I stamped "Have a super jolly Christmas" from Reindeer Games at the very bottom using black ink.

I attached a piece of acetate at the back of my turquoise panel using liquid glue, and still at the back of my panel, I attached foam strips around each opening and on the rest of the panel as well. I poured twenty White Snowflake confetti inside each opening and tiny clear crystal pieces as well, peeled all the backing papers off the foam strips, and then attached my polka dot panel to totally close my shaker panel. Back to the front of my panel, I stuck a snowy border at the bottom of each opening using liquid glue, attached my shaker panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel and then to a white card base. Next I finally attached my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this lovely holiday shaker card! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!
