The Graduate Card with Tina H

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and for all the grads in your life, we got you covered with the cute The Graduate stamp and die set!

Let’s start with our card base which is made from a bright blue paper from my stash. My next layer is a white piece cut with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Polka-Dots. As extra detail, I embossed this panel with the Dotted Diamond Landscape die. I love adding these small steps which truly elevate a card!

My next product, the Scalloped Square Tag dies will become one of my favourites, I just got it and I already think it’s so cute and versatile! It’s the perfect size to frame smaller scenes! For this piece, I used a beautiful blue paper from Gingham Pastels.

My graduate is just the sweetest hedgehog from Quill Cuties, he looks adorable with his little cap and diploma (The Graduate). To complete the scene, I added a pile of books (Grad Cat) for him to sit on. All the coloring was done with my Copics and I added sparkly gold details with a gel pen.

I used one of the sentiments from The Graduate set and I love that it comes with a matching die! (Versafine Onyx Black ink). To embellish my square tag, I added a little blue bow (Wicker Basket). Of course, I needed some bling too, this time I went with the Champagne Clear Jewels.

I hope to see all your sweet grad cards with this sweet set! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Penguin Party Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a fun slimline Christmas card featuring these adorable Penguin Party and the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp sets on a Scalloped Tag Circle and Slimline Scalloped Frame background.

I used the smaller die from the Scalloped Tag Circle Dies set to die cut three tags out of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. I stamped the images from the Penguin Party Stamp set onto the tags with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I also stamped a few hollies from the Hedgey Holidays Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah cardstock and used the coordinating Hedgey Holidays Dies to die cut them out. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T4/5/7, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R000/20
Red: R14/24/29/39
Light Green: YG11/13
Dark Green: YG06/07/09
White: C00/1/3

For the sentiment, I took a piece of pink cardstock (3" x 8") and used the colored tags to roughly layout my design and align the sentiment. I used the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp set from the latest release to create the "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" sentiment. I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink directly onto the pink panel. This is such a handy sentiment stamp set. It easily allowed for a variety of sentiments that can be broken up into segments to fit your design. 

For the layout, I used the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies to die cut a panel out of white cardstock. I adhered the pink panel with liquid adhesive. The hollies were adhered with liquid adhesive. I used twine to tie some bows onto the tags and adhered them to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. Be sure to check out the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Happy Owlidays Tags with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with a new set of holiday tags/ornaments featuring the super cute owls from Happy Owlidays, another set I've had for years but never used on a project, and it was fun to color those three beautiful wreaths and adorable owls.

I started off by creating my three shaker tags, they're all identical, and here are the different steps:

1. I cut a large Scalloped Tag Circle panel out of light brown woodgrain cardstock, and cut a opening out of it using a 2,5 inches circle die from my stash to turn my panel into a circle frame,

2. I applied vintage photo distress ink to the edges of my frame, mixed that same ink with water and added brown splatters to the frame, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

3. I cut a whole Scalloped Tag Circle panel out of acetate, attached it at the back of my frame and then attached foam strips all around the frame to create space for my shaker accessories.

4. I poured White Snowflake confetti, sparkling sequins and tiny sugar crystals inside the tag.

5. I cut a whole Scalloped Tag Circle panel again out of a Joyful Holiday red & white snowflake pattern paper, peeled all the backing papers off the foam strips, and attached my snowflake panel to totally close my shaker tag.

6. And to finish the back of my tag nicely, I cut one last Scalloped Tag Circle panel out of red cardstock, and stuck that tag panel at the back of my shaker tag using liquid glue.

Next I stamped my Happy Owlidays images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers. When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and then stuck them on each shaker tag using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

For my three greetings, I used the Brilliant Banner 4 die set, which matched perfectly the shape of my tags. I cut three front pieces and three back pieces out of red cardstock and white heat embossed "Happy Owl-idays" from Happy Owlidays on each front piece. Next I stuck each front piece to a back piece using 1mm foam squares, and then attached each banner at the bottom of each shaker tag using foam squares again.

Finally, I added a handle to each tag/ornament using twine with gold thread details, tied three bows using dark red ribbon and attached a bow at the top of each tag using liquid glue. 

And that's it! I hope that these festive shaker tags have inspired you, thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Santa Claus Lane Tags with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with a trio of Christmas tags I made with a mix & match of images from different sets. I really like making tags all year round, and the last ones go back to the 4th of July, so it was extra fun to put these together after all this time.

I started off by cutting three tag panels using the largest Scalloped Tag Square die and three different pattern papers from the Polka Dot Parade paper pack. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters on the three panels, and then did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles. I cut three more tag panels out of white cardstock, and attached a polka dot panel to a white panel using liquid glue.

Next I stamped my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them all with the coordinating dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers in a non-traditional holiday color palette. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Cozy Christmas - Christmas trees, presents • Reindeer Games - Santa • North Pole - nice list, Santa • Santa Claus Lane - presents, sack, Santa • Snowmen In Sweaters - snowflakes.

Once the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to my images using a white gel pen, added a dot of glossy accents to each light in the Christmas trees to make them shine, and then attached my images on each tag using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, creating three super cute little scenes.

I used the Build A Greeting Holidays stamp set to stamp my sentiments: "Happy Holidays", "Merry Christmas" and "Season's Greetings". I added silver twine through the hole at the top of each tag, and then glued sparkling double bows to finish them nicely.

And that's it! I hope that you like those three lovely non-traditional holiday tags. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
