Holiday Gift Tags with Alma and Marie

Hi, Alma here. Today I want to show you three Christmas Shaker Tags, which I made with the Mini Mat & Tag 2 Dies.

First of all I die-cut the tag from the Mini Mat & Tag 2 dies six time. Then I whipped the Tags with the Distress Oxide Inks "Iced Spruce" and "Stormy Sky". Then I die-cut a window in three of the tags with one of the Stitched Arch Dies.

After that I die-cut the dears and the birch trees (several time) from the Rustic Winter Dies and color them with Copics. Now I glued the birch trees in the tag with the window. After that I glued a foil behind the window and added  a snow cloud (Slimline Nature Border Dies) and a deer in front of the foil. Then I filled a lot of sequins in the shaker tags and glued all together. 

Finally I added some decoration with the leaves from the Pristine Poinsettia Dies and some ribbon and a little bell! Merry Christmas to all!

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Marie back for more Holiday paper crafting inspiration. Today I'm sharing three large gift tags created using Sunny Studio's Mini Mat & Tag Dies. 

These tags are perfect if you don't have a lot of time to create a card, because their size makes them super fast and easy to embellish! I also love how the back is large enough to write personal messages and attach straight to your gift! 

For my first tag, I used the Mini Mat & Tag 2 Dies. I start off by die cutting my tag from Neenah Solar White 110 lb heavyweight cardstock. I then die cut another tag from pattern paper and adhered it to the cardstock  base  moving it slightly upward to  reveal a very subtle white scalloped border at the bottom of the tag. I then added the white tag top. I die cut some craft paper and adhere that to the mini mat base using double sided adhesive tape. I splattered both the tag and mini mat using a watered down white acrylic paint. I stamped out my adorable penguins in an envelope images from the Passionate Penguins Stamps onto watercolor paper. I colored my images using Faber- Castell Watercolor pencils.

I wanted to turn this non Holiday image into something super festive so I dressed up my penguin with a Santa hat image from the Passionate Penguins Stamps and cut it out using the Penguin Party Dies. I also used some Holly Berries and leaves from the Winter Wreaths Stamps. I cut out the holly berries and leaves with the corresponding Winter Wreaths Dies. After fussy cutting my penguin image, I adhered it to my tag using double sided foam tape for dimension. I added some gold and white bakers twine tied in a bow to the top of of the tag and then adhered the tag to the mini mat using double sided tape adhesive. I then attached more twine to the top of the mini mat. I added some Ranger Grit Paste in "Snowfall" to the leaves and berries. I added Stickles in Sprinkled Sugar to the bow and santa hat. The grit paste and Stickles leave such a beautiful sugar crystal texture that sparkle and shine! 

For tag number two, I used the Mini Mat & Tag 3 Dies. Using just the Mini Mat, I cut out my base panel from Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock. I also die cut some patterned paper in a vintage mint shade. I attached the pattern paper to cardstock using double sided adhesive and gave it a subtle snow texture using watered down white paint splatters. I stamped out a wreath using the Winter Wreaths Stamps and cut it out using the Winter Wreaths Dies. I stamped out the adorable flying reindeer from the Reindeer Games Stamps. With Antique linen Distress Ink, I stamped my image onto watercolor paper, and colored it with watercolor pencils. 

Then, using the Reindeer Games Dies I cut out my image. I adhered everything to the Mini mat using a combination of Bearly Art Craft Glue, double sided adhesive, and double sided foam strips. I added the word "Joy" using the Loopy Letters Dies cut from red glitter paper. This created such a cute touch to balance out the red colors in the images. I also added some snowflakes with Stickles in the shade Unicorn. To finish off,  I placed red and white festive bakers twine to the top of the tag. 

For tag number three, I used a combination of Mini Mat & Tag 2 Dies for the mat portion and Mini Mat & Tag 1 Die for the tag. I used the super adorable snowman image from the Snowman Kisses Stamps and cut it out using the Snowman Kisses Dies. I wanted to make a pastel themed tag so I added some pink snowflakes. I adhered the tag to the mat and added gold and white twine. 

That does it for this week's crafty Holiday Tag inspiration! I hope you are all enjoying the Holiday Season! Christmas is coming so fast it's unbelievable! May you all have a memorable holiday full of all things fun and crafty! Until next time, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Love and Peace!

Joyful Holiday Paper Focused Cards with Waleska and Marine

Hello Friends, Waleska here with you. Welcome back to the Sunny Studio Blog for more holiday card inspiration. My card today features the beautiful Joyful Holiday Christmas 6 x 6 paper pad along with a bunch of cute penguins from the Penguin Party Stamp set.

When I used pattern paper on a card I like to first decide the patterns I will use, and based on those I choose the colors I will use for the rest of my card. I wanted to create a card full of penguins enjoying the Christmas winter weather. I stamped almost all of the penguins from the set and colored them trying to match the colors of the pattern paper, I then fussy cut them and started planning my scene.

I cut a dome in the center of the front panel and adhered the snowflake paper as the background for the scene and added a snowbank for the penguins. I staked the penguins to the left of the scene and added a last penguin carrying all the presents I finally stamped the sentiment form the Jolly Gingerbread stamps and finally added some iridescent snowflakes.

How much fun they are having? A lot I think! Remember to use your pattern paper more, I need to remember that more often! Thank you so much for stopping by have a great weekend!

Hi crafty friends! Marine here with you today, back with more inspiration showcasing some of the Fall & Winter 2022 products, as well as some older sets. I mixed & matched a lot of images, and used papers from the Joyful Holiday paper pack to set a cute & fun interactive scene.

I started off by stamping the images on white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and then colored everything using my alcohol markers. These are the sets I picked my images from:

Reindeer Games - four reindeers
Cozy Christmas - Christmas tree & present
Holiday Express - tree
Santa Claus Lane - presents, sack & stocking
North Pole - north pole sign & two elves

Next I moved on to the interactive feature. I cut all the different panels using some of the gorgeous Joyful Holiday papers, and built the card (the whole process is included in the video so feel welcome to check it out!) To make the sky I picked a multicolored dotted pattern paper, and to make the snowy ground, I picked a white & light grey gingham pattern paper.

Once the interactive panel was done, I attached the images, and then I layered some panels to create the card base: I stuck a 5,5" x 4,25" red Joyful Holiday panel on a card base, next a white woodgrain panel on top, and then a soft pink panel on top, and finally I attached my interactive panel using foam tape.

I also cut the handles out of a green gingham Joyful Holiday paper, and attached them on both sides of the card, and then I worked on my greeting. I white heat embossed the banner from Little Birdie on vellum, as well as my "Merry Christmas" greeting from Bear Hugs inside the banner, cut it using the coordinating die, and then attached it below the Christmas tree using clear foam squares. 

And last but not least, I added a dot of glossy accents on each light in the Christmas tree to make them pop & shine.

And that's it! Love how new & older Sunny Studio's images can match perfectly to create the cutest little scenes! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Reindeer Games Cards with Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing some warm winter wishes featuring these sweeties from the Reindeer Games Stamps!

To start this card, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies. I used the center portion of this die-cut piece for my background and inked it with Speckled Egg Distress ink. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Alpaca Holiday Stamps with white embossing powder.

Next, I die-cut the Autumn Tree Dies from light gray cardstock and cut the branches off. I adhered them to the left and right sides of the background piece and trimmed them along the edges. I die-cut birch trees from white and dark gray cardstock using the Rustic Winter Dies, adhered them to the left side and trimmed the excess along the top edge. I also die-cut the cardinals using these dies for a little pop of red above the reindeer.

For the snow along the bottom, I die-cut the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die from white cardstock and then die-cut the "sand" portion along the bottom edge using the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies. I then adhered this to the bottom of the panel lining up the scalloped edges. I adhered the background panel to the center of a gray A2 card base.

To finish, I stamped the reindeer on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I decided I wanted a white border, so I adhered the frame portion of the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies to the card front.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Hello Sunny Studio friends! It’s Bobbi here with a card featuring the new Reindeer Games stamps and dies. Jolly Santa must feed the reindeer before their big night, flying in the sky. This herd loves all things sweet including candy canes, colorful gumdrops, and peppermints, too. This is food fit for Rudolph and all the reindeer!

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I created a simple background scene using the Scenic Route stamps. I blended on some blue ink at the top for the sky. I splattered on a little white paint for snow and added a few darker dots of blue in the sky. A little blue coloring was also added to the trees. I wanted to keep the background super simple so all the attention would be on the foreground scene. It’s Santa feeding the reindeer gang!

I stamped, colored and die cut the reindeer and Santa. For the candy, I used the candy cane, peppermint and gumdrop dies from the Gingerbread House dies. I put two candy canes in Santa’s hands. The reindeer on both sides of Santa are ready to take a few licks from these sweet treats! Gumdrops and peppermints, plus a broken candy cane cover the snowy hills.

I stamped a few sentiments from the Reindeer Games stamps at the top and bottom and shaded around the elements to ground them and finish this card. I used the following Copic Marker colors to color in the elements:

Browns: E00, E04, E11, E42, E47, E44, E55, E57
Greens YG05, Yg07, YG02, Yg00
Reds: R89, R59, R29, R27, R14, R22, R20, R00
Cool Grays: 100, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00
Pinks: RV17, RV55, RV0
Blues: B000, B00, B02

I also used a Gelly Roll white ink pen for accents such as Santa’s beard and highlights on the candy pieces. Santa, the candy canes in his hands and the front-right side reindeer were attached using dimensional foam tabs.

Mini Mat & Tag Die Focused Projects with Vanessa and Tina

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a set of Christmas tags using the Mini Mat & Tag dies.

These dies are such fun to play with! I die-cut tags, rectangles, stars, shapes etc from white, black, vellum and gold cardstock and combined these to create various tags. 

For an interactive feature, I die-cut a window from two rectangles, adhered vellum to both sides and filled the inside with small stars and sequins.

Onto some of the tiny tags I stamped "noel" and added a little star to replace the diereses.

These sets were used:
Mini Mat + Tag 1
Mini Mat + Tag 3
Mini Mat + Tag 4
Rustic Winter Dies
Stitched Rectangle Dies
Window Quad Square Dies
Winter Greenery Dies
Classy Christmas Stamps

I enjoyed creating these immensely! Have a lovely weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina with two mini cards for you today. I love making this smaller size card because it always looks so cute! Especially for the holiday season, it’s fun to create something different than the standard A2 size.

There are 4 beautiful mini mats with tags in the new release, today I am featuring the rectangle dies from Mini Mat & Tag 2 and Mini Mat & Tag 3. I used a smaller rectangle from the Infinity set to create a frame from both mats. Next, I also created two rectangle panels from Neenah card stock and ink blended the sky portion with a soft green combination of Distress Oxide Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover. Since these are Christmas cards, of course I had to do some splattering with water and white paint droplets to give the illusion of snowflakes. To finish the background panel, I cut two snowbanks from a shiny white card stock I had in my stash.

I stamped all my images using Reindeer Games (the cute reindeer), Santa Claus Lane (stockings) and the Penguin Party set (stars). All the coloring was done with Copic markers, adding snow details with a white gel pen.

The Autumn Tree die was perfect as branches to hang the stockings. Since these are mini cards, I only needed to cut one tree and divided it in half for each of the cards. I wanted the branches to look frosted, so I only added some warm grey tones in a few spots. The sentiment from Reindeer Games was stamped onto two skinny strips of white card stock.

I created two white mini card bases and glued a dark teal panel to both. Next, I worked on my background panel, gluing the branches in place, adding the snowbanks and finally the reindeer, stockings, and stars. Then, I mounted the Mini Mat frames to the backgrounds with foam tape for dimension. After adhering the sentiments, I could glue the mini mat frames to the card bases.

These mini cards turned out so cute, and they were a lot of fun to make! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
