Let's Chill & Penguin Pals Winter Holiday Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some holiday cards featuring our new Let's Chill Stamps and Penguin Pals Stamps.

My first card showcases the adorable seals from the Let's Chill Stamps. This mini set has so many possibilities! I created a winter birthday card here by using the heart balloon, ice block, and punny sentiment from the Penguin Pals Stamps with the tree and igloo from the Winter Scenes Stamps. To frame my little scene, I used the largest die from the Scalloped Square 2 Small Dies set, then masked all four sides to add a light dusting of Salty Ocean Distress ink using the big fluffy blending brushes by PinkFresh Studio. While you can achieve a darker application, these brushes are convenient for achieving a light application of ink to take advantage of the full range of tones each distress ink pad can offer. Lastly, I mounted the scalloped mat onto an aqua polka-dot print from the Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper pack.

For my second card, I focused on the adorable penguins from the Penguin Pals Stamps. I created a scene with them decorating a Christmas Tree taken from the Cozy Christmas Stamps and added the backdrop of mountains and fir trees behind them using the Country Scenes Stamps. This time I used the PinkFresh Studio Blending Brushes to achieve a light application of Seedless Preserves Distress Ink for my sky. I heat-embossed a greeting from the Penguin Pals set onto a Brilliant Banner 2 Die, which has been inked up using a blend of Salvage Patina, Evergreen Bough, and a tiny bit of Peacock Feathers Distress inks.

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. 💛

Birthday Mouse Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun birthday card featuring images from the Harvest Mice and Birthday Mouse sets. I just love these adorable mice.

I started by creating the background and using the Moroccan Circles Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of pink cardstock. I trimmed a slim edge off the panel and adhered it to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5"). Next, I used the second smallest die from the Scalloped Square 1 Small Dies to die-cut two squares out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I lightly colored the upper part of the sky with Copic markers. I added a piece of craft foam to the backside of the squares before adhering them to the pink panel.

I stamped the mice from the Harvest Mice Stamps and Birthday Mouse Stamps, the cheese from the Merry Mice Stamps, and the hats from the Party Pets Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Harvest Mice Dies, Birthday Mouse Dies, Merry Mice Dies and Party Pets Dies to die-cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Mice: E50/51/53/33/35, R000/20
Hats: RV13
Cheese: Y13/15, RV10/13/14
Balloons: YG00/01/03/17, RV000/10//21/13/14, Y11/13/15
Bicycle: RV13, C1, W5
Sky: RV1000/10
Banner: YG01/03/17

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner 3 Die to die-cut a banner from Neenah Solar white cardstock. I colored the banner with Copic markers. I stamped the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Inside Greetings: Birthday Stamps directly onto the banner with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I highlighted it with a white gel pen. The colored images and sentiment were adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.

Cat Antics Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be celebrating Sunny Studio's 10th birthday with those fun kitties and cheerful colors. This is a fantastic milestone, and I'm very proud to be part of it. Congratulations, Mendi! And happy birthday to Sunny Studio!!

I started by creating the background and cut a 4-3/8 inches square panel out of a Spring Sunburst green paper. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters all over my panel. I did the same with mowed lawn distress ink, and then with peacock feathers distress spritz. Once it was dry, I attached my green panel to a Stitched Square white panel using liquid glue, and then the white panel to a Scalloped Square 1 Large turquoise panel using 1mm foam tape.

I stamped all my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers, using one of my all-time favorite color palette: aqua, green and yellow. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Cat Antics - 3 cats • Party Pets - 3 cats, presents, party hats, hearts, balloons, "make a wish" • Purrfect Birthday - cake.

Once the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen. Next I stamped the Balloon Number "10" on the same white cardstock using aqua dye ink from my stash, and cut each digit using the matching dies. I also stamped two strings in black using two stamps from the Balloon Alphabet and fussy cut them. For my greeting, I white heat embossed "Happy birthday" from Big Bold Greetings on aqua cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and then attached everything on my Spring Sunburst card base using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

And that's it, so let's join this pawsome party, have fun and eat a piece of cake, if the kitties have left some! Thanks so much for stopping by, see you next week, and once again: happy birthday to Sunny Studio!!
