Penguin Party Card by Amanda

Hello there, Sunny Studio Stamps fans! It’s Amanda Fitterer here with you on the Blog today! I get to share this super adorable slimline card I made! I don’t make slimline cards often, but when you’re trying to fit as many cute penguins in one scene, you just HAVE to, right?! Keep reading to see how I put this card together!

To create this card, I’m going to trim down a piece of white cardstock to slimline size (3.5”x8.5”). For my background, I am going to use the Scenic Route Stamps. I love how many different ways you can use this one stamp set! 

I’m using these stamps to create 3 little “scenes”. I’m going to use the Christmas light strands at the top and the little houses under that for one scene. At the bottom, I am going to use the hills & trees image. For the bottom scene, I am using the left side of the stamp and for the middle scene, I’m using the right side.

Once I’ve stamped my scenes, I’m ready to lay out my penguins from the Penguin Party Stamps. After figuring out which penguin will go where, I can stamp each one out with its little accessories!

Now that everything is stamped, I can use my Copic markers to color all the images. Once the penguins are finished, I can cut them out using the Penguin Party Dies. I am using 3D foam squares to prop up each of the penguins and adhere them to the card front.

The final step is to add my sentiments. I am using black cardstock and white embossing powder to make the sentiments pop! The sentiments are all from the Penguin Party Stamps. First, I’m going to stamp them onto black cardstock with my WOW! Embossing Pad. Then, I’m going to apply Super Fine White Embossing  Powder and use my heat tool to melt the powder. I’m using my trimmer to trim each sentiment into strips. I’m using 3D foam strips to prop the sentiments up and adhere them to the card front.

Finally, I can glue my card front to a slimline card base and I’m all ready to send it to someone special this Holiday season!

Thanks for stopping by the Sunny Studio Stamps Blog today! I hope you’ve enjoyed this post! I also hope you find some time to get crafty today! See you next time!

Brilliant Banner 3 Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with this cute holiday card featuring Santa, Rudolph and his reindeer friends. They're busy delivering presents to everyone who's been nice this year, and for the first time, Santa's sleigh stays in the garage, and the little gang is travelling the world in a Christmas van. How fun!

I started off by stamping all the 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 in my favorite holiday color palette, which is red, pink, aqua and green.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Beach Bus - van • Lazy Christmas - presents • Snowmen In Sweaters - trees, snowflakes • Holiday Express - Rudolph • Fall Friends - reindeers • North Pole - Santa, nice list • Panda Party - banner • Scenic Route - houses • Winter Scenes - trees.

I set my images aside, and cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I divided in two sections using washi tape: the sky at the top, and snow at the bottom. I colored the sky using kitsch flamingo and picked raspberry oxide inks, and the snow using salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks. As always I added lots of textures to my panel, starting with water droplets on the sky. I also mixed some picked raspberry oxide ink with water, and added more splatters to the sky. I mixed some peacock feathers oxide ink with water, and added splatters to the snow section. Next I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters all over the panel, and then I did the same with liquid stardust.

Once my panel was dry, I attached all the images on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gelly roll pen, and then moved on to my greeting that I created using Brilliant Banner 3 dies. I cut the two main pieces out of light pink cardstock, and white heat embossed "You're on my nice list" from North Pole on the front piece. I layered both pieces on top of each other using 1mm foam squares, and for an extra shiny detail, I cut another banner out of holographic cardstock, stuck it behind my pink banner using liquid glue, and finally attached the completed banner in the top part of my panel using foam squares again.

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

Toasty Hugs Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm happy to be back with this new super duper colorful Christmas card showcasing the lovely Toasty Hugs characters, as well as some of my all time favorite stamps from Scenic Route, and a color palette I've never used on a holiday card before, or even used at all.

As very often, I started off by stamping 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 using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Toasty Hugs - boy and girl • Scenic Route - strings of lights, houses • Cozy Christmas - Christmas tree, present • Santa Claus Lane - presents • Reindeer Games - reindeers • Snowmen In Sweaters - snowflakes, trees.

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I colored using oxide inks. On the top part I blended some shaded lilac, wilted violet and villainous potion. I splattered water droplets on the sky, and dried the cardstock using a paper towel. I mixed some villainous potion oxide ink with water, and used a slim brush to add splatters to my sky. On the bottom part I applied tumbled glass and peacock feathers oxide inks. I mixed some tumbled glass with water, and used my slim brush again to add splatters on the panel. Next I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water, and added splatters all over my panel, and I did the same with liquid stardust.

Once my panel was dry, I stamped "Wishing you a holly jolly Christmas" from Santa Claus Lane at the bottom of my panel using black versafine ink, and then I attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. For the last details, I added highlights on the images using a white gel pen and a dot of glossy accents on all the lights. And I wanted the snow on the trees and roofs to be sparkling, so I added liquid glue on those spots, sprinkled fine glitter, let the glue dry, and then went over the whole panel with a fluffy brush to get rid of the excess glitter.

And that's it! I love how this little scene turned out, this color palette is really gorgeous, isn't it? I hope you like it. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Snowmen in Sweaters Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so excited to be back on the blog with this extra colorful winter card showcasing the cutest Snowmen In Sweaters ever! Aren't they adorable?! I love them so much!

I started off by cutting an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I colored using oxide inks. For the sky at the very top, I blended some saltwater taffy with candied apple, and for the rest of the panel, I blended some salvaged patina with peacock feathers.

As always, I stamped my images on 80lb 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: • Snowmen In Sweaters - snowmen, trees • Scenic Route - houses • Winter Scenes - trees.

I wanted my greeting to be the center piece, and to match the frosty winter theme, I started off by cutting a large Scalloped Circle Mat 1 out of holographic cardstock. I cut a smaller circle out of orange cardstock, and cut a Stitched Circle Large out of a Surprise Party yellow pattern paper. I layered those three circles on top of each other, white heat embossed "Warm winter wishes" from Snowmen In Sweaters on red cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and stuck it to my circle panel using 1mm foam squares.

Next I attached everything on my slimline panel, starting with the houses, next the circle panel, and then the snowmen and trees using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and added some white blizzard nuvo drops to the roofs and to the Snowmen In Sweaters to give the illusion of sparkling snow. 

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