Snowmen in Sweaters Holiday Gift Bag with Nicky

Well hello everyone, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog where I'm sharing a fun Snowmen In Sweaters Holiday Gift Bag project. Read on for all the details:

I started by taking two matching sheets of patterned paper from the All Is Bright 6 x 6 Cardstock and I assembled the Sweet Treats Bag Die which is a very simple process and can be found in a useful video created by Sunny owner Mendi in THIS VIDEO.

I then adorned the bag with two snow drifts at the bottom of both the front and the back, using the Slimline Nature Borders Die, and I added a double layer of lace around the top edge (also front and back) using the Eyelet Lace Borders Die.

With the bag formed I used some cotton cord and knotted the handles in place and set it to one side.

I stamped the snowmen from Snowmen In Sweaters using Memento Ink in Black Tuxedo and I coloured the images with the following Copic marker combinations inspired by colours from the patterned paper:

Snowmen - C3, C1, C0, BG000
Teal - BG49, BG15, BG32
Red - R59, R39, R29, R27
Pink - RV63, RV52
Black - T9, T6, T4
White - C3, C1, C0
Blush - R22, R21, R20, R00
Noses - YR09, YR04

I shaded their coloured clothing using T3 and T2. Images were die cut, with the coordinating Snowmen In Sweaters Die, then highlighted with a white gel pen and applied to the bag with foam tape.

To adorn the bag further I added the little gift tag with the sentiment stamped from Happy Thoughts, I also added some Lacy Snowflakes die-cuts and a few sparkling clear sequins.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today to read about this treat bag, I hope you feel inspired to tackle one for yourself. Happy crafting!

Toasty Hugs Card with Nicky

Happy Friday everyone, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog where I'm sharing all the details for this card using the cute little Toasty Hugs stamp set. Read on for all the details.

Using Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Ink, I ink blended the winter sky on an A2 white panel of cardstock.

I die cut the Cityscape Border Die from white cardstock and glued this created panel to the sky.  Over this I layered two snow 'hills' made using the Slimline Nature Borders Die. This background panel was now ready to glue to my card base and set to one side.

I stamped the trees from Snowmen in Sweaters and the two kids from Toasty Hugs using black ink. I coloured with the following Copic markers:

Skin - E34, E11, E21
Hair Girl Left - E44, E43, E40
Hair Girl Right - E42, E40
Blush - R22, R21, R20, R00
Green - G19, YG45
Red - R29, R24
White - C3, C1
Brown - E44, E43

I die cut the images, using the Snowmen in Sweaters Die and Toasty Hugs Die, and backed them with foam tape and attached them to the background.

For the finishing touches I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a red strip and attached with foam tape and I glittered the snow on the trees and then using a stylus and white acrylic paint, I dotted in the snow throughout the scene. Your snow will look far more authentic if you make sure to 'nick' the lines of some of your images as I have done and of course by dotting rather than splattering you have full control and won't spoil the faces on the characters etc.

Thank you for coming by to read today, I will be back this time next week with something brand new.

Crisp Apple Die Focused Card by Alma

Hello everyone, Alma here. Christmas is getting closer, and what could be better than enjoying a candied apple at a Christmas market? 

For my card, I die-cut the apple using the Crisp Apple Dies and colored it with Copics. Then, I created a background with the Slimline Pennant Dies and the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die. To coat my apple with chocolate glaze, I die-cut it from the Slimline Nature Border Dies and colored it in chocolate brown. 

Finally, I stamped a sentiment from the Holiday Hugs Stamps set and die-cut a snowflake from the Basic Mini Shape 5 Dies to use as a highlight. I especially love the Joyful Holiday Paper on this card. 

Have a wonderful Christmas season!

Roly Poly Penguins Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a fun slimline Christmas card featuring the most adorable Roly Poly Penguin set. I just can't get enough of these cuties! I have big love for penguins and this set definitely stole my heart!

I stamped the images from the Roly Poly Penguin 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 die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T1/3/5/7, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, RV00
Pink: RV10/21/13/14
White: C00/1/3

For the layout, I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock (3.5" x 8.25") and lightly inked blended the top and side edges of the panel with Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks. I used one of the slope dies from the Slimline Nature Borders Dies to diecut a piece of white cardstock for my snowbank. I adhered the snowbank to the inked panel before adhering it to a white card base (3.75" x 8.5").

For the sentiment, I stamped the sentiments from the Holiday Hugs Stamps set with Versafine Satin Red ink onto a piece of white cardstock before diecutting them out with the coordinating Holiday Hugs Dies. I used scissors to trim out the "sending" sentiment. 

I adhered the sentiment and some snowflakes diecut from white cardstock using the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2, Basic Mini Shape Dies 5 and Woolen Mitten Dies sets with liquid adhesive. Then I adhered the penguins with some foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. I finished the card by adding clear jewels onto the snowflakes for a bit of sparkle.

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.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Let's Chill Card with Hanh: Black Friday Exclusive!

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a clean and simple card featuring the exclusive new Let's Chill Stamp and Dies, which aren't available for purchase this year but can be received as a FREE gift with a $50+ purchase for a limited time only! See below for promotion full details. The set includes the sweetest pair of seals!

I stamped the images from the Let's Chill Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Let's Chill Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Seals: C00/0/1/3, R00/30
Heart: R24/29

For the layout, I diecut a piece of white cardstock using the larger die from the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies set. I adhered the entire panel onto the front of a top folding white card base (4.25" x 5.5"). 

The Forest Trees Stencils and some Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks were used to create the background on a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I started by lightly ink blending the sky on the upper edge of the cardstock. I placed the first layer of the stencil and very lightly ink blended the Tumbled Glass with a blending brush. Next, I placed the second layer of the stencil and ink blended again with the Tumbled Glass but with a slightly heavier hand. Finally, I placed the third stencil and lightly ink blended with the Salty Ocean ink.

Once the ink was dry, I diecut the panel with the larger die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies set. I used the same die to diecut a white panel out of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. One of the slope dies from the Slimline Nature Borders Dies was used to diecut the white panel in half. I used the colored images to layout my scene and decide on the placement of one of the sentiments from the set. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the white half panel with the same Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered the half panel onto the inked panel before adhering the entire panel to the scalloped edge panel and card base.

I adhered the colored images onto the card front with some foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. I finished the card with a few snowflakes diecut from white cardstock using the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2.

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.
