Surfing Santa & Lazy Christmas Sloth Christmas Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi popping in to share some holiday cards featuring our Surfing Santa Stamps and Lazy Christmas Stamps.

My first card showcases the adorable Surfing Santa Stamps, perfect for tropical Christmas Cards. Whether you live in Florida, Hawaii, Australia, or are just visiting a warm destination over the holidays, sometimes snowy cards just don't fit your circumstances at Christmas time. I paired my Santa Claus with the beach & palm trees backdrop from our Ocean View Stamps, the beach chair from the Kiddie Pool Stamps, and the VW bus and surfboard from the Beach Bus Stamps. I enjoyed keeping things festive for Christmas by coloring the umbrella and lounge chair with red and white candy cane stripes. Lastly, I added the "Happy Holidays" sentiment from the Holiday Greetings Stamps. I love that the script of this greeting has the feel of a vintage postcard when paired with my beach scene.

For my second card, I paired the two sloths, tree branch, ornaments, and stack of gifts from the Lazy Christmas Stamps with the wreath and sloth face from the Christmas Critters Stamps. I lined up three mini scenes, which were framed using our Stitched Small Circle Dies and then matted with red cardstock using the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. I completed my card by heat-embossing a punny sentiment from the Lazy Christmas set onto an elongated turquoise pennant strip cut with the Notebook Photo Corner Dies.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Penguin Party Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a fun slimline Christmas card featuring these adorable Penguin Party and the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp sets on a Scalloped Tag Circle and Slimline Scalloped Frame background.

I used the smaller die from the Scalloped Tag Circle Dies set to die cut three tags out of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. I stamped the images from the Penguin Party Stamp set onto the tags with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I also stamped a few hollies from the Hedgey Holidays Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah cardstock and used the coordinating Hedgey Holidays Dies to die cut them out. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T4/5/7, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R000/20
Red: R14/24/29/39
Light Green: YG11/13
Dark Green: YG06/07/09
White: C00/1/3

For the sentiment, I took a piece of pink cardstock (3" x 8") and used the colored tags to roughly layout my design and align the sentiment. I used the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp set from the latest release to create the "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" sentiment. I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink directly onto the pink panel. This is such a handy sentiment stamp set. It easily allowed for a variety of sentiments that can be broken up into segments to fit your design. 

For the layout, I used the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies to die cut a panel out of white cardstock. I adhered the pink panel with liquid adhesive. The hollies were adhered with liquid adhesive. I used twine to tie some bows onto the tags and adhered them to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.

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!

Bear Hugs Stamps & Holiday Express Stamps Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some Christmas cards featuring our Bear Hugs Stamps and Holiday Express Stamps.

For my first card today, I used all the cute polar bears from the Bear Hugs Stamps with the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Die to frame each miniature scene using the set's tree, ice block, balloon, and candy cane. I inked up behind the frame using a light touch of Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink and then cut out stitched snowy slopes using the Slimline Nature Border Dies. Finally, I stamped a punny greeting using VersaFine Onyx Black ink from the set. I really loved how clean and fresh this turned out with the simple red, white, and blue color scheme, so I thought it would be fun to challenge myself to design both cards today using that limited color palette.

My second card features the adorable train, critters, decorations, and gifts from the Holiday Express Stamps. To help make my train feel extra festive, I added peppermint candies to the wheels of the locomotive and train cars using images from the Candy Shoppe Stamps and Baking Spirits Bright Stamps. For the backdrop behind my Christmas train, I taped two of the three 6" borders from the Forest Trees Stencils together and inked up one continuous line of trees with Salty Ocean Distress ink. Above the trees, I added a cloud border using the Slimline Nature Border Dies cut from masking material and inked with Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink. Lastly, I combined several mix-and-match greetings from the Holiday Express stamps to create one long, continuous sentiment to span the length of my 8" wide card.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛
