Classy Christmas Poinsettia & Holly Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some Christmas cards featuring our Classy Christmas Stamps.

First, I made a card focusing on the holly leaves and berry images from the Classy Christmas Stamps. I arranged the holly groupings around a navy Scalloped Oval Mat 1 Die, which I then mounted onto a white Stitched Oval 2 Die. For my background, I embossed a piece of red cardstock using the Quilted Hearts Embossing Folder and inked the edges with Candied Apple and Fired Brick Distress Ink. I completed my card by heat-embossing the "Have a holly jolly Christmas" greeting from the Deck The Halls Stamps to tie my theme together.

For my second card, I die-cut a navy scalloped mat using the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace Dies and backed the lace openings with black cardstock before mounting it onto a green A2-sized panel. I then embellished my card with the poinsettias, leaves, pinecones, and berries from the Classy Christmas Stamps, which I had colored with Copic Markers. Lastly, I white heat-embossed my "Merry Christmas" phrase from the Holiday Greetings Stamps onto a piece of navy cardstock and die-cut it using the coordinating Holiday Greetings Dies to help it blend into my background.

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. 💛

Pink Peonies Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this monochromatic Halloween card featuring black peonies and spiders. I mostly like to create Halloween cards with cute critters, but when I colored the Pink Peonies back in April (you can check the card right here) I knew I would color them again in black to make a monochromatic card.

I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them using the coordinating dies and then colored them using my Graph'it brush markers in shades of grey: dark shades for the peonies and spiders, and lighter shades for the leaves. The peonies and leaves are from Pink Peonies, the spiders and spider webs are from Too Cute To Spook, and I usually add details to my images with a white gel pen, but this time I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters to the flowers and leaves, and only added white gel pen details to the spiders.

I cut a 5,25 x 4 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, ran it through my die cutting machine along with my Buffalo Plaid Diagonal die, covered the entire panel with hickory smoke oxide ink, and used the Diagonal Stripes stencil along with black soot oxide ink to add a nice pattern to my panel. Next I mixed black soot oxide ink with water and added black splatters to my panel, I did the same with copic opaque white ink and then with iron gate mica spray for sparkling details. And once my panel was dry, I attached it to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches black panel.

Next I cut a large Scalloped Oval Mat 1 panel out of black cardstock, used the largest Stitched Oval 2 die to cut an opening out of it and this way created a scalloped frame. I used the largest Stitched Oval 2 die again to cut a Subtle Grey Tones woodgrain panel, added black splatters to it, attached both the black frame and grey panel together using tape at the back, and stamped "Happy Halloween" from Too Cute To Spook right in the middle of that panel. I added 1mm foam tape at the back, attached it to my Buffalo Plaid Diagonal panel, and then stuck all my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. 

And that's it! I really love the elegant and monochromatic style of this card, and I hope that you like the unusual look. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Too Cute To Spook Card with Amanda

Hello, friends! This is Amanda here with you on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a non-traditional colored Halloween card! 

The base of this card is made using the Sweater Weather 6x6 Paper. I trimmed the pink plaid piece down to 4.25”x5.5” and glued it to the inside of an A2 card base. For the front flap of the card base, I trimmed off a little less than 5/8” off.

I trimmed the other piece of pink paper to 4 1/4” x 3 5/8”. Before gluing it to the card base, I die cut one of the lace borders from the Eyelet Lace Border Dies. I glued the lace border to the edge of the front flap first and then glued the pink panel on top of it. Next, I die cut the smallest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies.  

For my images and sentiment, I grabbed the Too Cute to Spook Stamps. I stamped the 3 pumpkins, ghost critter, haunted house and sentiment onto a piece of white cardstock. I stamped the spooky trees directly onto the oval scalloped mat piece.

I colored in my images with Copic markers. Then, I die cut them out with the coordinating dies. For the sentiment, I trimmed it into a rectangle and then used scissors to create a banner edge.

I put 3D foam strips behind the scalloped oval and added it to the card base. Then, I added 3D foam squares behind the images and sentiment. Some of the images (like the darkest pumpkin) has 2 layers of foam squares so it sits up higher.

What a cute pink Halloween card, right? I hope this card inspires you to create something unique and fun! Have a great rest of your day!

A Cut Above Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here with a cute ‘school themed’ card using the fun A Cut Above layering stamp and die set.

As usual, I started with a white card base but this time I added extra texture to the front part by dry embossing with the Dapper Diamonds folder. Next, I cut a panel from an adorable ‘heart’ paper (Subtle Grey Tones) with the largest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 dies. I knew I wanted to use bright colors for my pencils and this neutral paper is the perfect background.

After selecting several ink pads from my stash, I started the layering stamping for the fun pencil. A great tip here is to use the black pictures on your packaging to position the stamps. You get a much better view of how to add the next layer. With so much colors on this card, I selected three cute panda bears (Panda Party) and colored them with my Copic markers.

My combined sentiment was taken from the Balloon Rides set and I masked of a part of the saying with post-it tape so it reads ‘Just a note’ now (Versafine Onyx Black ink).

To assemble the card, I glued the oval panel to the embossed card base with liquid glue. Then I added one pencil vertical, so I had a place for the bears to sit and stand. The other four pencils were added with foam tape following rainbow order. My little sentiment banner was centered on top of these pencils. Then I concluded that the card was cute, but it was missing ‘something’!

I browsed through my dies and found a small streamer die (Crepe Paper Streamer dies) which was the perfect filler. I die cut several pieces and cut them to size before gluing them on the grey oval. I added a few White Diamond jewels as a final embellishment.

I can’t wait to see your projects with these products! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Enchanted Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and my project today is so sweet and romantic! I am using the adorable Enchanted stamp and die set with lots of fairytale images. You can mix and match the sentiments to create the cutest messages!

Lots of romance going on and that is reflected in my color palette of soft pink, green and a bit of yellow. Such a perfect combo for this theme card. The scene wouldn’t be complete without lots of layers, I think it adds so much to the definition of a card.

Today I star with a standard pink card base, which I ‘created’ by coloring the edges of a plain white base with the darkest pink Copic marker I used for my coloring. Simple, and a perfect match!

Next, I cut a white panel using the outer die from the Frilly Frames Chevron set, which was further embellished by the Dotted Diamond Portrait die. This latter die is great to have in your stash, I love how it always elevates my cards and it is so easy to use!

Creating the oval focus point was achieved by combining the largest die from Scalloped Oval Mat 1 and the largest of the Stitched Ovals 2 dies. I used both to create a pink border, next, I cut three panel with the stitched die from white cardstock. One of these was splattered with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink and a small paintbrush. The other two were turned into grass borders (mini grass border dies, colored with Cracked Pistachio).

After selecting a cute princess, a knight and of course a castle (Enchanted stamp), I started my coloring with Copic markers. I added highlights with a gel pen.

I opted to stamp the combined sentiment (Enchanted stamp) onto a curved banner (Brilliant Banner 4) with Versafine Onyx Black ink. For extra interest, I cut the same shape from the pink card stock I used for the oval frame. I added all the layers and images to my card base and finished this project with some Pink Spinel Jewels.

I hope you like this sweet card and happy crafting!
