Snowman Kisses Cards with Marie and Alma

Hello Crafty Friends! Marie here. I hope you are all having a wonderful Holiday Season so far! Today I have another holiday card to share with you all featuring the cutest little snowmen images from Sunny Studio's Snowman Kisses Stamps. These little cuties are so fun to color with all their adorable expressions. You can highlight one or use all four like I did in this fun and festive shadow box card. 

For this card, I cut out all the pieces using a shadow box die from Bristol smooth cardstock to make the inking process super easy and smooth. I ink blended all my pieces front and back, using Distress Ink Oxides in the Color Salvaged Patina. I darkened up the front and back of the box using Distress Ink in the color Pine Needles. For the background panel, I inked it using Salvaged Patina, Uncharted Mariner, and Chipped Sapphire. For the side and back of the box, I used a snowflake stencil with Evergreen Bough Distress Ink. Then, using watered down white acrylic paint, I splattered the inside of the box, the background panel, and all the snow mound panels creating snow like texture. 

After putting my box together, I stamped out my snowman images from the Snowman Kisses Stamps using Distress Ink in Antique Linen. I always use this ink with my no line watercoloring as it disappears when it touches water. I colored all my images using Derwent Inktense water soluble pencils. After coloring my images, I cut them out using the corresponding Snowman Kisses Dies. I also used a candy cane image from the Penguin Party Stamps and used the Penguin Party Dies to cut them out. I adhered all my snowmen to my box card using Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue.

To make things even more super fun and festive, I die cut a bunch of tiny snowflakes from Bristol smooth cardstock and placed them inside my card using tiny strips of clear acetate. The acetate creates the illusion that the snowflakes are floating because it is clear! I love this technique and use it all the time! I adhered the snowflakes to the tip of the acetate strip using Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue. 

Moving on to the back of my card, I die cut a little rectangle and ink blended the edges using Candied Apple Distress ink, and stamped my sentiment in a red ink, and adhered my fourth snowman to the bottom of my panel for the cutest touch while leaving room for a personal note! 

Thank you so much for joining me today for this week's Card Making Inspiration! I am so smitten with the way this card turned out and I smile every time I see these snowmen! Have an amazing rest of the week and I wish you all the creative inspiration of the season! Until next time, Happy Cardmaking!!

Today it's my turn, Alma, and I want to show you a little shadow box I made with the cute snowmen from the Snowman Kisses Stamps set. 

First, I cut two 4.5 by 9.5" strips of paper. Then I folded the strips at 2.5 and 7". In the "front" strip, I punched the window into the shadow box using the larger Layered Snowflake Frame Die. Then I cut out a 4.5 by 4.5" square and die cut using the smaller Layered Snowflake Frame Die. I glued this square behind the larger snowflake frame to create a layered effect. 

I then glued the front and back together. For the interior design, I punched the clouds from the Slimline Nature Border Dies twice at different heights and cut them to a length of 6.5". I scored these borders at 1" and at 5.5" and glued the two borders into the bottom of the box as snow clouds. You can now stick motifs anywhere. 

For the background I stamped a 4.5 by 4.5 inch paper with the Scenic Route Stamps set and die-cut them with the Scenic Route Dies and wiped the sky with Distress Oxide Inks in blue and turquoise tones. I glued the background to the map, as well as the string of lights from the Scenic Route Stamps set and Scenic Route Dies. Finally, I stamped and coloured the snowmen from the Snowman Kisses Stamps set  and die-cut them with the Snowman Kisses Dies and glued them into the shadow box!

Your 3D card is ready! Have fun tinkering!

Reindeer Games Cards with Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing some warm winter wishes featuring these sweeties from the Reindeer Games Stamps!

To start this card, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies. I used the center portion of this die-cut piece for my background and inked it with Speckled Egg Distress ink. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Alpaca Holiday Stamps with white embossing powder.

Next, I die-cut the Autumn Tree Dies from light gray cardstock and cut the branches off. I adhered them to the left and right sides of the background piece and trimmed them along the edges. I die-cut birch trees from white and dark gray cardstock using the Rustic Winter Dies, adhered them to the left side and trimmed the excess along the top edge. I also die-cut the cardinals using these dies for a little pop of red above the reindeer.

For the snow along the bottom, I die-cut the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die from white cardstock and then die-cut the "sand" portion along the bottom edge using the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies. I then adhered this to the bottom of the panel lining up the scalloped edges. I adhered the background panel to the center of a gray A2 card base.

To finish, I stamped the reindeer on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I decided I wanted a white border, so I adhered the frame portion of the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies to the card front.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Hello Sunny Studio friends! It’s Bobbi here with a card featuring the new Reindeer Games stamps and dies. Jolly Santa must feed the reindeer before their big night, flying in the sky. This herd loves all things sweet including candy canes, colorful gumdrops, and peppermints, too. This is food fit for Rudolph and all the reindeer!

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I created a simple background scene using the Scenic Route stamps. I blended on some blue ink at the top for the sky. I splattered on a little white paint for snow and added a few darker dots of blue in the sky. A little blue coloring was also added to the trees. I wanted to keep the background super simple so all the attention would be on the foreground scene. It’s Santa feeding the reindeer gang!

I stamped, colored and die cut the reindeer and Santa. For the candy, I used the candy cane, peppermint and gumdrop dies from the Gingerbread House dies. I put two candy canes in Santa’s hands. The reindeer on both sides of Santa are ready to take a few licks from these sweet treats! Gumdrops and peppermints, plus a broken candy cane cover the snowy hills.

I stamped a few sentiments from the Reindeer Games stamps at the top and bottom and shaded around the elements to ground them and finish this card. I used the following Copic Marker colors to color in the elements:

Browns: E00, E04, E11, E42, E47, E44, E55, E57
Greens YG05, Yg07, YG02, Yg00
Reds: R89, R59, R29, R27, R14, R22, R20, R00
Cool Grays: 100, C7, C5, C3, C1, C00
Pinks: RV17, RV55, RV0
Blues: B000, B00, B02

I also used a Gelly Roll white ink pen for accents such as Santa’s beard and highlights on the candy pieces. Santa, the candy canes in his hands and the front-right side reindeer were attached using dimensional foam tabs.
