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!

Cozy Christmas Cards with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone, Isha here with a cute little shaker scene featuring our Cozy Christmas stamps and dies. I love this set as it's perfect to create that cozy feel, which we all enjoy during this time of the year.

I started by creating the wall and the floor using some distress inks. I added a slight brick texture to the wall. Die-cut a window using the Stitched Arch dies.

Adhere vellum behind the window. Sponge ink to the card base, add snow from the Snowman Kisses stamp set. Add white paint flicks. Now add some chunky glitter and adhere the front panel with the window.

Next, I stamped all the images, colored them and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Cat in the box - Meow and Furever stamps and dies
Penguin - Penguin Party stamps and dies

Adhere the images to create the scene, stamp sentiment and the card is ready. Thanks for dropping by.

Hi folks, Kavya here with another fun project from the latest release. I have used the Cozy Christmas stamp set multiple times in the past and I see myself coming back to it every time!

For today's card, I created my background by ink blending dark blue dye ink on some light blue cardstock and added a strip of dark blue cardstock for the ground. Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Cozy Christmas and Santa Claus Lane stamps set.

Adhered them to the background and I was done! I decided to skip the sentiment as I couldn't find a good place for it on the card but you can always add one if you like!

Hope you like today's project! Happy Crafting!

Reindeer Games Cards with Kavya and Isha

Hi folks. Kavya here with another fun holiday project! Ever since I saw these adorable reindeers from Reindeer Games, I knew I wanted to create a scene with a Santa and his reindeers sleighing across a night sky. 

I started off by creating my backgrounders using shades of blue, black and purple dye ink. I used a generic cloud stencil to create the clouds at the bottom. Then, I splattered some white paint for the stars and snow! It might have been a bit too much in hindsight!

Then, I stamped and colored images from Reindeer Games and Santa Claus Lane stamps. I then adhered all the images and added a moon. I chose to skip the sentiment but you can add one at the bottom if you’d like.

That’s it! I was done! I hope you liked this fun project ;) Happy Crafting!

Mini Mat & Tag Die Focused Cards by Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here today with a few tropical Christmas projects for everyone living in a sunny, warm climate and everyone who wishes they were! Even though I live in the South, it can still get quite chilly in the winter. We never really know whether Christmas Day will be sunny and 80 or winter, so I always love a little tropical right about now!

To start this card, I die-cut the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies from white cardstock and adhered the outside frame portion to an A2 card base. I then die-cut the Frilly Frames Herringbone die from white cardstock and adhered the center portion to the card front.

For the background, I cut a piece of white cardstock 2 1/4" x 3 1/2". I masked the bottom 1” of the cardstock and inked the sky with Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon, Saltwater Taffy and Scattered Straw Distress inks. I then masked the sky and inked the water with Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress inks. For the sand, I die-cut the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die from white cardstock and inked the sand portion with Antique Linen Distress ink. I adhered it across the bottom of the cardstock piece and trimmed the excess along the right and left edges. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Surfing Santa Stamps which worked perfectly for my flamingos. I matted the background on a hot pink cardstock.

The Mini Mats are perfect for showcasing small scenes, so I die-cut one from the Mini Mat & Tag 1 Dies from a piece of Critter Country Paper, centered my background piece on the mat and adhered these to the card front.

I stamped all images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I used the following stamps and dies:
Fabulous Flamingos Stamps and Dies
Reindeer Games Stamps and Dies (Santa hats)
Tropical Paradise Stamps and Dies (hibiscus)
Seasonal Trees Stamps and Dies
Santa Claus Lane Stamps (ornaments)

I also die-cut a monstera leaf from the Summer Greenery Dies from white cardstock and colored it with Copics.

I couldn’t resist making a couple of tropical penguin tags to coordinate with my card. These were so fun to make! I die-cut both tags from hot pink cardstock using the Mini Mat & Tag 4 Dies. I also die-cut white cardstock with the tag die and inked backgrounds for each using Tumbled Glass, Scattered Straw and Saltwater Taffy Distress inks. I heat embossed the sentiments which I combined from the Reindeer Games Stamps, Passionate Penguins Stamps, Santa Claus Lane Stamps and Penguin Party Stamps. For the ocean wave, I used a Slimline Nature Borders Die and for the sand, I used the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die. I adhered them across the backgrounds, trimmed off the excess on the sides and cut the backgrounds to 2 1/4" long. I then adhered them to the tags.

 

I die-cut bright and cheery papers from the Sweater Weather Paper and used the flower hole reinforcer die from the Mini Mat & Tag 3 Dies to keep with the tropical theme.

 

I stamped all images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I used the following stamps and dies:
Passionate Penguins Stamps and Dies

Penguin Party Stamps and Dies

Tropical Paradise Stamps and Dies

Ocean View Stamps and Dies

Surfing Santa Stamps and Dies

Hello friends! Bobbi here with tags for the holidays. We add tags to all of our gifts and for the little children’s gifts, I go for bold and colorful prints to make them more youthful and fun for the kids. My tags in these festive colors will coordinate perfectly on my bold gift wraps. I am using the following products by Sunny Studio: Mini Mat & Tag 1 dies, Mini Mat & Tag 2 dies, Mini Mat & Tag 3 dies, Mini Mat & Tag 4 dies.

All four mat/tag die sets create fun and unique shaped tags for the holidays. Even though I could just use the tag dies for a smaller gift tag, I chose to use the matching mats to share here. I love how big the tag is with the mat and how frilly the edges look, too. Because these tags are colorful with the Joyful Holiday Paper, I wanted a white border to make the tag really pop off my gift wrap on the presents.  Note: There are four different mats (one unique one in each set) and I used mat 2 twice, in place of the mat in 1. It was not intentional. They are all so cute! 

I used Reindeer Games stamps and dies with the Joyful Holiday Paper to make these two tags. I also ink blended the backgrounds with Distress Oxide Inks in greens and blues. Everything was cut out and assembled using Precision Tip Glue and foam tabs. I added a few rhinestones to make the tags sparkle. The snowballs in the Santa tag were made from pure white jewels. I added red garnet rhinestones by the sentiment. The stars in the sky by the reindeer are made with a white pen and iridescent jewels. I used a red twine for the tag string and Liquid Applique for the dimensional fur on Santa’s outfit.

For my next two tags, I used the Snowman Kisses stamps and dies for the cute snowman. I used Liquid Applique for the snow around the first snowman. To make the circular opening on the second tag, I used a simple punch. What’s fun is you can use your own punches with these dies to get even more fun looks from these staple sets! More rhinestones accent the right side tag, too!
