Passionate Penguins Valentine's Day Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I am so excited to share a sweet Valentine's Day card featuring these adorable images from the Passionate Penguins set. 

I stamped the images from the Passionate Penguins Stamp on a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Passionate Penguins Dies to die cut them out. I also used the Stitched Heart 2 Dies to die cut 3 hearts out of the same Neenah Solar White cardstock. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T4/5/7, Y38 YR04, W00/0/1, R000/20
Hearts: R14/24
Umbrella: R14/24/29/39, C1/3
Car: R14/24/29/39, C1, C1/3, Y11, W5, W7
Pink: RV10/21/13/14

For the background, I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and die cut three windows into it using circle the second, third and fourth smallest dies from the Stitched Circle Large Dies. I used the Slimline Nature Borders Dies to die cut a piece of clear acetate to make my own cloud stencil. Next, with the windowed panel as a guide, I used my homemade cloud stencil, the Forest Trees Stencils and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink to ink blend subtle backgrounds onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock in the location of those windows. 

For the sentiment, I die cut a banner using one of the banner dies from the Stitched Rectangles Dies out of red cardstock. I stamped the "Happy Valentine's Day" sentiment from the Foxy Friends Stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto the red banner and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. 

I adhered the two panels to each other using foam tape. I adhered the sentiment banner and colored images to the front of the card with foam tape for additional dimension and interest. The card front was adhered to an A2 white card base (4.25" x 5.5"). 

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Bear Hugs Card with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and I hope you are enjoying a wonderful holiday season! Today, I created a sweet winter forest scene with two cuties from the Bear Hugs stamp and die set.

To start, I cut a panel of pink dotted paper (Polka-dot-Parade) with the beautiful Quilted Hearts Portrait die. Next, I used one of the Stitched Circles Small set to create the space for my focal point. I needed two more of these circles from white card stock. One was turned into a snowbank, the other will be my background. I used Distress Oxide Faded Jeans and a cloud stencil from my stash to ink blend a winter sky.

Then I put this panel aside to select two cute bears and some trees from the Bear Hugs stamp set. To go for that winter vibe, I went with cool blues, grey and pink Copic markers. As usual, I added white highlights with a gel pen.

With all the elements ready, I could start to assemble the card. I made a white card base and added the pink Quilted Hearts Portrait panel with liquid glue. Next, I inlayed the circle with the clouds and mounted the snowbank. Lastly, I adhered the two cute bears and the trees onto the background circle.

My sentiment was taken from the Words Of Gratitude set and stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink on a white banner (Brilliant Banner 4). As embellishment, I sprinkled a few Sky Blue Jewels in the sky.

Thank you for joining me and a very Merry Christmas!

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. 💛

Roly Poly Penguins Red Gingham Winter Holiday Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi popping in to share some winter-themed holiday cards featuring our Roly Poly Penguins Stamps. 

I made all my cards today using the same basic elements, only changing out the penguin, the object he (or she) is holding, and the customized greeting. I started by trimming a sheet of white 120 lb. cardstock into four A2-sized panels, which I die-cut and embossed with the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die. I then inked them up using the coordinating Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils using Candied Apple Distress Ink. 

I filmed a short video showing how those products were designed to work together HERE. 

Next, I worked on creating my focal point scenes. I cut the largest Scalloped Circle 2 Die from white cardstock and then layered it over a Scalloped Circle 1 Die cut from red cardstock. I cut a 2-7/8" Stitched Circle Large Die from white cardstock and inked it with Peacock Feathers Distress ink for my sky with white gel pen dots for snowfall. I cut another partial circle from white cardstock and die-cut a stitched slope through the center using the Slimline Nature Border Dies to form my snowy hill. As the star of each card, I paired the Roly Poly Penguins Stamps with the tree and gift images from the Holiday Express Stamps. Last, I heat-embossed a customized greeting to fit each individual card theme using the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamps, which I added to the Brilliant Banner 4 Die cut from aqua cardstock.

Here's a closer look at the four cards from this set, which I created assembly line style. Making cards as small sets, like this one, with your supplies already out and ready, is a great way to speed up cardmaking while keeping the creative process interesting.

Card No. 1: "Wishing You Warm Holiday Wishes" Penguin with Hot Cocoa Mug

Card No. 2: "May You Be Wrapped in Happiness" Penguin with Gifts

Card No. 3: "May Your Days Be Merry & Bright" Penguin with Candy Cane

Card No. 4: "Sending Joy Across the Miles" Penguin with Santa Letter to the North Pole

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.
