Penguin Party Card with Amanda

Hey crafty friends! It’s Amanda here today with you on the blog this lovely Tuesday to share a really “fun & festive” holiday card!

This card is so bright and cheery because of the Joyful Holiday Paper! I planned the entire card around that super fun paper pack! I trimmed the red and pink striped paper down to 4.25” x 5.25” to use as my background panel. The pink snowflake paper is trimmed to 3.75” x 5”. I glued both of these panels together onto an A2 card base.

The arched panel was created using the Stitched Arch Dies and a piece of white cardstock. On this panel, I stamped the hilly trees stamp from the Scenic Route Stamps. This set has the BEST winter backgrounds! I love it!

I used some low tack masking tape to create a mask so I could ink blend the sky. I used Cummerbund and All That Jazz from Catherine Pooler to create the sky. Then, I stamped my sentiment from the Penguin Party Stamps directly onto the sky with black ink.

Then, I stamped my penguins and gift boxes from the Penguin Party Stamps onto white cardstock. Next, it’s time to color everything! I colored my background and images using Copic Markers.

I used a combo of these markers all throughout the scene:
BG0000, BG00, BG01, BG45, BG49
R43, R46
RV10, RV13, RV14, RV17, RV19
YR04, YR09, YR21
YG01, YG06, YG17
N1, N3, N6, N8

I used the coordinating Penguin Party Dies to cut out the penguins and gifts. Then, I put 3D foam squares behind them and added them to the arched panel. I also put 3D foam strips behind the arch panel and added it to the center of the card base. Finally, I added snow with some white acrylic paint!

And that’s it for me today! I hope you’re feeling inspired to make something fun today! Come back tomorrow for more crafty holiday inspo!

Reindeer Games Card with Amanda

Hello there and welcome to the Sunny Studio blog! Amanda here! I’m so glad you’re here with me today as I share this SUPER JOLLY card with you! I am pumped about making holiday cards!  I know we have a lot of time left, but it’ll be here before you know it! Have you started making yours yet?? Either way, I hope this card inspires you to make one!

To make this card, I started by cutting the largest frame from the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies. This die actually cuts 2 separate pieces, which is great for creating dimension! I glued the outer frame directly to an A2 card base. I set the other frame aside to use later.

Next, I trimmed a white piece of cardstock to 5”x3.75”. On this panel, I stamped the hilly scene from the Scenic Route Stamps. With the leftover ink that was on the stamp, I stamped the image again on a piece of low tack masking tape. I trimmed the masking tape so that I could mask off the hills and trees.  

Then, I used Catherine Pooler’s Hot Tub and Skylight inks and a blending brush to blend out the sky. Once that was finished, I spritzed it with water and set it aside. On another piece of white cardstock, I stamped my deer, gifts, and ornaments from the Reindeer Games Stamps. Once stamped, I colored the images with Copic markers.  

Here are the colors I used:
Deer: E30, E31, E33, E35, E37, E50, R00, R22,R46,  E41, E43, W5, 27
Gifts: BG70, BG72, BG75, BG78, R422, R46, BG93, BG96, BG99

I removed the mask from the background panel and colored in the trees and snow.
Trees: BG93, BG96, BG99
Snow: BG70, BG72

After I was finished coloring, I cut the deer, ornaments, and gifts out using the coordinating Reindeer Games Dies. On the background panel, I stamped my sentiment in black ink.

I glued my background panel to my card base. I, then, applied foam tape behind my inner frame and attached it o the card base as well. I adhered 3D foam squares behind the images and added them to my card. Using some white acrylic paint, I added “snow” and dots on the deers.

I love the dimension the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies make! I hope you enjoyed learning how I created this card and I hope it inspires you to make something crafty today!

Truckloads Of Love Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm thrilled to be back with this autumn card featuring the mouse family again. This time, they're back with their rakes to pick up the falling leaves and keep the neighborhood neat and tidy.

I cut a 7,75 x 2,75 inches slimline panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using a Slimline Scalloped Frame die, and created a very simple background. I divided my panel in two sections using washi tape, and started by covering the bottom part with peeled paint distress ink. I mixed that same ink with water and used a slim brush to add green splatters to my grass section. Next I did the sky on the upper part using a cloudy stencil from my stash along with tumbled glass and broken china distress inks. I mixed some broken china distress ink with water and added blue splatters to the sky, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink and splattered white droplets all over my slimline panel.

When my panel was dry, I stamped my greeting from Fall Friends, attached it to an 8 x 3 inches white panel using 1mm foam tape. I cut a scalloped panel out of aqua cardstock using another Slimline Scalloped Frame die, stuck the white panel to it using liquid glue, and then attached the whole thing to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches green card base using 1mm foam tape again.

Next I stamped my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Scenic Route - houses • Woodsy Autumn - trees • Fall Scenes - piles of leaves, rakes, leaves • Truckloads Of Love - truck, pile of leaves (at the back of the truck) • Beach Bus - mouse (driver) • Merry Mice - mice, scarves • Barnyard Buddies - fences.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and then attached them all to my card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this new mouse family fall scene. I wonder where we will meet them next time. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Clucky Chickens Farm Card with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share an everyday card featuring our Clucky Chickens Stamps.

For my card, I started by coloring the background border with the rolling hills with the fir trees from our Scenic Route Stamps. I then layered another hillside cut from white cardstock using our Slimline Nature Border Dies which I inked up with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn distress inks, tucking a couple extra trees on the right side to balance my scene. I then added the blue sunburst print from our Spring Sunburst Paper pack and stamped the punny sentiment "I get by with a little help from my hens" from our Farm Fresh Stamps.

As I added each layer to my scene, I "trimmed" it down by die-cutting the layer with our Stitched Rectangle Dies, so when they were all layered together, they would have one cohesive stitched frame. I then populated the foreground of my scene with the hen house, box of hay, chickens, and chicks from our adorable Clucky Chickens Stamps. I love how this farm scene came together with all the different layered elements, many of which I must admit were already stamped years ago and just waiting to be used on a card--That always makes me feel so good to put them to good use!

That wraps up my project for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today.😊
