Bighearted Bears Love-Themed Card with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here with the last card of the year 2025!  I am featuring a love themed scene with two cuties from the Bighearted Bears stamp and die set.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Bighearted Bears Love Themed Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Bursting Hearts Dies, Stitched Arch Dies, Sprawling Surfaces, Lovey Dovey)

The Bursting Hearts background die is a perfect match for this project. I combined this white die cut piece with a purple heart paper from Flirty Flowers. After creating a white card base, I layered both directly onto the base.

For my scene I cut a white panel with the largest of the Stiched Arch dies. This panel will become my background by inking a sky with a cloud stencil from my stash and Distress Oxide Dusty Concord. The bottom part of this arch piece was turned into a side walk by stamping one of the Sprawling Surfaces. Such a versatile set to have in your stash!

Next, I selected two adorable pandas, a letter and a chocolate box from the Bighearted Bears stamp. All the images were colored with my Copics and I added white gel pen highlights.

Before assembling the card, I needed to add a sentiment. I browsed through my stash and decided that the Lovey Dovey stamp was perfect for this project. I stamped the sentiment directly to the panel with Versafine Onyx Black inkTo put the card together, I glued the arched panel to the background and mounted the images with foam tape. As a final embellishment, I added three cute Heart Shaped Pearls to my scene.

Thank you for joining me here on the blog. I am wishing you all a wonderful and very crafty 2026!

Penguin Party & Cozy Christmas Holiday Card with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi popping in to share some winter-themed holiday cards featuring our Penguin Party Stamps and Cozy Christmas Stamps. These two stamps are some of my sets for the holidays, so I can't believe I never thought to pair them together before this. They complement each other so well!

I started by adding "wallpaper" to my living room scene using the heart print from the Flirty Flowers Paper pack. I added the wood floor from the Sprawling Surfaces Stamps by stamping the border onto white cardstock with Hero Arts Sand Ink and ink-blending the entire piece using Antique Linen Distress ink and a PinkFresh Studio Blending Brush. I then added two arched windows to my wall using the inner frame from the Wonderful Window Dies that I trimmed down to only be four panels, instead of six. I also backed them with cardstock inked to look like a sky and snowy slopes.

I then set to work filling my scene with the sofa, pillow, lamp, and holiday tree from the Cozy Christmas Stamps and the five penguins with cocoa mugs, and gifts from the Penguin Party Stamps. Lastly, I stamped "Hope your holiday is fun & festive" using a greeting from the Penguin Party set with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I adore how this scene came together and how cozy and festive it feels!

Sledding By & Cruising Critters Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some cards featuring our Sledding By Stamps and Cruising Critters Stamps. Both of these sets feature a pile of critters in a mode of transportation, so I thought it would be fun to share both a fall and holiday take as we transition between the seasons.

Sunny Studio Fall & Holiday Christmas Cards using Cruising Critters, Sledding By, & Country Scenes Clear Craft Stamps & Dies

For my first card today, I focused on the adorable critters piled in the sled from our Sledding Critters Stamps. I googled vintage horse-pulled sleighs and noticed a number of them were painted black with red velvet-lined seats so as I started coloring, I found myself limiting my colors to neutrals with touches of Red, White, Blue, and a bit of a rosy pink (which is actually just a lighter version of the red tones). For the background of my card, I inked up a white cardstock panel using a light touch of Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink with the PinkFresh Studio Blending Brushes

I then stamped the snowflakes around the perimeter of my card using the Snow Flurries Stamps. These mini 2x3 background stamps were designed to line up and stamp multiple times in a grid pattern across a card background to create a seamless background of any size for a great price. However, they also have the added flexibility of stamping around the edges like a frame to keep the center of the card open without having to creatively mask things off for the sentiment like I did here. I added the snowy hillside using the Slimline Nature Border Dies cut from white cardstock and then added my greeting using the stamps from the set and the coordinating "sledding" word from the Sledding By Dies. Lastly, I felt like my card needed a little something to visually balance out the right side of the card, given the angled tilt of my sleigh and sentiment, so I added a red snowflake to my sleigh from the Snowflake Circle Frame Dies.

For my second card showcasing a carload of animals using the Cruising Critters Stamps, I created a fall backdrop for the scenic drive, using the tree-lined border from the Country Scenes Stamps and the cobblestone street from the Sprawling Surfaces Stamps. I love that these trees can be colored pink for spring, green for summer, or in fall hues for autumn! I then added some simple cloud outlines to my skyline using the clouds from the Ocean View Stamps. Lastly, I heat-embossed a greeting from the Cruising Critters Stamps and paired it with the die-cut word "cruising" from the Cruising Critters Dies.

Puppy Parents Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it is Tina and today I am creating a sweet card for my husband, who is an incredible Dad and also a dog lover. Our two dogs Mira and Lena bring so much love and joy in our lives. When I saw the Puppy Parents stamp and die set, I knew it would be perfect for this project!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Puppy Parents Father's Day Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Sprawling Surfaces, Fancy Frame Dies, Stitched Arch Dies, Brilliant Banner Dies)

Of course, I selected the two fluffiest doggies of this adorable bunch since they look just like ours. To set the scene, I also stamped the sweet doghouse, a few balls, the food bowl, and some bones.

After creating a simple white card base, I die cut all the layers for this card. Starting with the white frame (largest of the Fancy Frames Rectangle dies), I backed this frame with a sheet of pink striped paper (Dots & Stripes Pastels) and finally I cut a white arched panel (Stitched Arch dies).

This last piece will become the base for my scene. First, I stamped a cobblestone border (Sprawling Surfaces). Next, I masked off this part of the panel with some Post-It tape and added a pink cloudy sky with a stencil from my stash and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide.

I pulled out my Copic Markers and colored all the images as well as the stone border. But when I did a try-out of the scene and put the dogs in place, it felt a bit busy. A piece of vellum is a good option to soften a busy background. Die cutting with the Stitched Arch again gave me the perfect vellum layer. I used a tape runner for vellum to attach this layer to the background and felt much happier with the design!

The arched shape of the Brilliant Banner 4 die was a perfect match for the scene, my Misti worked great to curve the combined sentiment from the Puppy Parents stamp (the red ink was pulled from my stash).  As a final embellishment, I added a few Pink Spinel Jewels.

I hope you will enjoy these fun Puppy Parents stamps as much as I did! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
