Let's Chill Tags with Marine: Black Friday Exclusive!

Hello crafty friends, happy Thanksgiving! Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this trio of lovely tags showcasing the adorable seals from Let's Chill. I love those little guys so much, they're super cute and very fun to color. I mixed them with the darling characters from Toasty Hugs, and picked a few additional images from other sets (listed down below) to create three wintery scenes.

I started off by cutting three Scalloped Square Tags out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I masked the four edges on each tag using washi tape, leaving the cute stitching details visible, and created a winter landscape on each tag using oxide inks. On the upper part, I applied uncharted mariner to make a night sky, and on the lower part, I applied tumbled glass, but just on the edges, to bring a little bit of color to this snow section. Next I added texture to each background. I splattered water on the sky and dried the panel with a paper towel. I mixed some uncharted mariner oxide ink with water, and added more splatters to the sky using a slim brush. Next I mixed some tumbled glass oxide ink with water, and added splatters to the snow section. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters all over the tag, and then I did the same with liquid stardust. I removed all the washi tape, and put my three tag panels aside to dry.

I stamped my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Let's Chill - seals • Toasty Hugs - characters • Winter Scenes - igloos • Snowmen In Sweaters - trees, snowflakes.

I attached my images on the tags using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and added highlights and details using a white gelly roll pen. It's not visible on the pictures, but to make the back of my tags neat and pretty, I cut three Scalloped Squares Tags out of a Polka Dot Parade blue pattern paper, and attached those polka dot tags at the back of my main tags using liquid glue. And to totally complete my panels, I used a Mini Mat & Tag 4 eyelet die to cut three eyelets out of dark blue cardstock, and stuck an eyelet at the top of each tag.

For the greetings, I went for small tags and used Window Quad Square dies to cut the different pieces. I assembled them, silver heat embossed "Warmest winter wishes" from Holiday Hugs on each tag, and attached each small tag to a large tag using dark blue twine. And as a final shiny detail, I added a double white and silver bow on each small tag. 

And that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Straight Stripes Stencil Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a sweet Christmas card featuring the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils. I used the stencil to create a bold holiday background for my penguin tag. 

For the background, I took a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and used the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils with some Candied Apple Distress ink to create a striped pattern. Once the ink was dried, I shifted the stencil slightly a half of a stripe's width to the right. To create the peppermint pattern, I used the stencil as a guide to draw in thin stripes in between the red stripes with a green Ultra Fine Sharpie marker. I loved how I was able to create my own festive patterned paper. I trimmed the panel down to 4" x 5.25" to eliminate any messy edges.

I used the larger die from the Scallop Tag Square Dies to diecut the tag out of the Neenah Solar White cardstock. I masked off the scalloped edges of the tag die and lightly inked the edges with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. 

The Woolen Mitten Die Set was used to diecut some holly leaves and berries out of green and red cardstock.

I stamped the penguin from the Roly Poly Penguins Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Roly Poly Penguins Dies to it out. I colored him with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7/9, W00/0, Y38 YR04, R00/20
Red: R22/24/27/29/39
White: C00/1/3

For the sentiment, I stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Holiday Greetings Stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating Holiday Greetings Dies to diecut it out.

I adhered all of the holly, sentiment and penguin to the tag with a combo of liquid adhesive and foam tape for a bit of dimension. I used a white gel pen to add highlights to the elements. The striped panel was adhered to a top folding white cardbase (4.25" x 5.5"). I adhered the tag  onto the card front with foam tape.

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.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Roly Poly Penguins Cards & Tag with Michelle Short

Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be guest designing on the Sunny Studio blog today using the 2024 holiday release! I fell in love with the Roly Poly Penguins, so most of my projects use those, but I do have a bonus project to share at the end too!

I started off my first project by stamping one of the penguins and candy canes from Roly Poly Penguins, as well as the two trees from Snowmen in Sweaters (I stamped the smaller one twice) onto white cardstock using black ink. I coloured them using Copic Markers before die cutting them out using the coordinating dies. I die cut a heart from white cardstock and then stamped the sentiment in the right-hand corner from the Inside Greetings Seasons stamps.

This sentiment is part of a larger one, so I had to do a bit of manoeuvring and masked off some words to stamp 'happy Christmas' using Versamark Ink. I applied White Embossing Powder and heat set. I then masked off the bottom part of the heart using paper that I had cut into a slope shape with scissors. I blended Distress Inks above (Salty Ocean, Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire and Seedless Preserves), removed any excess ink from the embossed sentiment with a cloth, and then moved the mask down to create snow drifts below. I ink blended these with the residual Seedless Preserves Ink on my brush.

I masked off the bottom part again and splattered white paint above to look like snow fall. I then placed the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die on top of a panel of white cardstock and ran it through my die cutting machine to cut the pattern into the cardstock. It was adhered to an A2 sized (4.25" x 5.5") white card base. The heart piece was then adhered on top with foam tape, followed by the tress, candy cane and penguin. To finish, I added a few white gel pen highlights to the penguin.

For my next project, I thought that the penguin showing just the top half of his body would work great for a tag. I first cut the base of the Build-A-Tag #1 dies from white cardstock, as well as the topper piece and eyelet. I added ink blending to the base layer with the same Distress Inks that I used on the card, but with a slightly heavier hand this time. I splattered white paint on top and set it aside to dry. I also blended the same inks to the eyelet piece (to match the sky).

Whilst the tag was drying, I stamped the penguin from Roly Poly Penguins onto white cardstock using black ink. I coloured him with Copic Markers and die cut him out using the coordinating dies. The sentiment, from Inside Greetings Seasons, was stamped onto black cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  It was then cut into two strips. I adhered the topper piece to the tag, followed by the eyelet with liquid glue. The penguin and sentiments were adhered using foam tape. To finish, I threaded twine through the top of the tag and tied in a bow.

I couldn't resist making another card with another penguin (they are too cute!), so I stamped another from Roly Poly Penguins onto white cardstock using black ink. He was then coloured using Copic Markers and die cut out using the coordinating dies. The sentiment, from Inside Greetings Seasons, was stamped onto black cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. It was then cut into a strip.

For the card base, I took a panel of red cardstock and die cut it using the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die. I placed the Diagonal Stripes Stencil on top and added ink blending using a slightly darker red shade of ink than the cardstock. I did this twice for both diagonals of the plaid. It was adhered to an A2 sized card base, and the penguin and sentiment simply adhered on top with foam tape. To finish, I added white gel pen highlights to the penguin and a little black glaze pen to his eyes.

My last project today uses the Merry Mocha stamps & coordinating dies. I first stamped the coffee cup, as well as the sentiment, from the Merry Mocha set onto white cardstock using black ink. I coloured the coffee cup using Copic Markers and die cut both out using the coordinating dies. I thought it would be fun to create a gift card holder, so I took the largest of the Scallop Tag Circle Dies and cut it three times from white cardstock.

Two of them were adhered together back-to-back and I cut the third one in half. I stamped a sentiment from Inside Greetings Seasons onto the one cut in half using black ink and adhered it to the back of the other ones, but only added adhesive to the outside edges, so that I could create a pocket for the gift card to fit into.

I adhered the coffee cup and sentiment to the front of the tag and tired twine in a bow at the top. I added Christmas Red Stickles to the berries and then embellished with silver gems to finish. The gift card was then popped inside the pocket.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my projects today using the holiday release. Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Toasty Hugs Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh. I am on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a sweet winter card featuring the Toasty Hugs set. These cuties are all bundled up to build a snowman and to send out some toasty hugs.

I stamped the images from the Toasty Hugs Stamps and Snowmen in Sweaters Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Toasty Hugs Dies and Snowmen in Sweaters Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Skin: E000/00/11/93
Hair: E31/33/35/37
Snowman: B0000/000, Y38 YR04, R20, W7, E23
Pink: RV00/02/04
Green: YG01/03/17
Blue: B00/00/02
Boots: E33/35/37

For the background, I took a piece of pale pink cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and die cut it with the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. To add to the wintery vibes, I die cut and adhered a few snowflakes using the current "Free Mini Die with every order while supplies last" and the snowflake from the Woolen Mitten DIe Set. I also die cut some holly leaves and berries from the same die set out of green and red cardstock.

I used the larger die from the Scallop Tag Square Dies and smallest die from the Scallop Square 1 Small Dies to die cut the tag and square for the sentiment out of the Neenah Solar White cardstock. I masked off the scalloped edges of the tag die and lightly inked the sky with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. I adhered all of the colored images and holly to the tag with a combo of liquid adhesive and foam tape for a bit of dimension. I used a white gel pen to add snow to the sky and highlights to the elements.

For the sentiment, I stamped the "sending" from Holiday Hugs Stamps and "toasty hugs" from Toasty Hugs stamps onto the scallop square with Versafine Onyx Black ink. The pink panel was adhered to a top folding white card base (4.25" x 5.5"). I adhered the tag and sentiment square onto the card front with foam tape.

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.
