Snowmen in Sweaters Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so excited to be back on the blog with this extra colorful winter card showcasing the cutest Snowmen In Sweaters ever! Aren't they adorable?! I love them so much!

I started off by cutting an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I colored using oxide inks. For the sky at the very top, I blended some saltwater taffy with candied apple, and for the rest of the panel, I blended some salvaged patina with peacock feathers.

As always, I stamped my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Snowmen In Sweaters - snowmen, trees • Scenic Route - houses • Winter Scenes - trees.

I wanted my greeting to be the center piece, and to match the frosty winter theme, I started off by cutting a large Scalloped Circle Mat 1 out of holographic cardstock. I cut a smaller circle out of orange cardstock, and cut a Stitched Circle Large out of a Surprise Party yellow pattern paper. I layered those three circles on top of each other, white heat embossed "Warm winter wishes" from Snowmen In Sweaters on red cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and stuck it to my circle panel using 1mm foam squares.

Next I attached everything on my slimline panel, starting with the houses, next the circle panel, and then the snowmen and trees using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and added some white blizzard nuvo drops to the roofs and to the Snowmen In Sweaters to give the illusion of sparkling snow. 

And that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Snowmen in Sweaters Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today to share a clean and simple holiday card featuring these adorable snowmen from the Snowmen in Sweaters Stamps set. I just adore all of the sweet faces on these snowmen.

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

COPIC COLORS:
Snowmen: B0000/000, Y38 YR04, RV00/02, E23
Pink: RV00/02/04/09
Green: YG01/03/25/17
Blue: B000/00/02
White: T1/3

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"). 

Next, I got two pieces of white cardstock (4" x 5.25"). For the first panel, I used the third smallest die from the Stitched Circle Small Dies set to diecut 3 windows into the panel. I used this first panel as a guide to ink blend the second panel with Kitsch Flamingo, Shabby Shutters and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. Once the ink was dried, I adhered the two panels to each other with foam tape before adhering them to the front of the cardbase. 

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Inside Greetings Seasons Stamps with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used one of the banner dies from the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies to diecut it out. I adhered the sentiment and the snowmen onto 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.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Happy Howl-o-ween Card & Tags with Tammy Stark

Hello friends, Tammy Stark here! I'm so excited to be guest designing for Sunny Studio for the newest release! I especially love creating for Halloween, so I was really excited to play with the adorable new set, Happy Howl-o-ween! For my project, I created a fun slimline card so I could get as many of the darling pups as possible!

To begin, I stamped the images from the Happy Howl-o-ween stamp set, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Happy Howl-o-ween Dies. Next, I cut a panel of Bristol smooth cardstock to 3 X 8" and masked off the bottom of the panel with washi tape. I used a circle die from the Stitched Circle Large Die to create a mask. I placed the circle mask onto the panel and inked the background with Milled Lavender, Villainous Potion, and Black Soot Distress inks. I splattered the background with some Villainous Potion ink, then added some white paint splatters. I removed the circle mask and lightly washed it with gray ink to give the mood a little spooky glow. The bottom of the card was inked with brown inks to create a ground for the pups.

Next, I arranged the adorable images onto my card to create a fun scene, and attached them with foam tape for dimension. The sentiment was white embossed onto a black sentiment strip and also attached with foam tape. Lastly, I attached the panel to a white cardstock mat, measuring 3 1/4 X 8 1/4", then onto a black 3 1/2 X 8 1/2" card base to finish up my card.

I also created a fun set of coordinating Halloween tags, using Happy Howl-o-ween. I started by stamping some images from the Happy Howl-o-ween stamp set, coloring with Copic markers, and die cutting with the Happy Howl-o-ween Dies.

To make the tags, I cut 3 white tags using the Scalloped Tag Circle Dies. Next, I cut 3 circles from Bristol smooth cardstock using the Stitched Circle Large Die. Just as the card, I masked off the bottom of the tag and ink blended the top with Milled Lavender, Villainous Potion, and Black Soot Distress inks, also splattering up the background. The bottom was ink blended with brown inks, then attached to the scalloped tags. The colored images were attached to the tags, using foam tape on some for dimension. I white embossed the sentiments onto black cardstock strips, cutting them apart and attaching to the tags with foam tape, then added some black and white bakers twine to finish up my set of tags.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Crisp Apple & Wood Barrel Cards with Rachel Alvarado

Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I am so happy to be back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with some apple-themed projects that feature new products from their latest release. This release is absolutely gorgeous, so I hope you'll love it as much as I do!

All of my cards today feature the yummy new Crisp Apple Dies. For all of my cards, I die cut a variety of both large and small apples from a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb Card Stock. To add color, I then blended each apple with a combination of Candied Apple, Lumberjack Plaid, Ground Espresso, and Scorched Timber Distress Inks. I blended my darkest colors on the left side of my apples and worked my way to the right with my lighter colors, leaving a very light spot on the top left portion of the apple to give it more of a 3D appearance. I did the same for my leaves, but used Mowed Lawn Distress Ink instead.

For my apple core area, I die cut it from a piece of light beige card stock and lightly blended the bottom left area of this piece with some Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink.

I then added a rectangular layer of lattice and scalloped circles with a piece of white card stock that I had die cut using the Frilly Frames Lattice Die Set. Next, I added a red circle to which I adhered a white scalloped circle that I had die cut using the beautiful Scalloped Circle Mat 3 Dies. Lastly, I added my apples with some 3D foam adhesive tape as well as my sentiment (from the new Punny Apple Greetings Stamp Set) that I had heat embossed to a strip of black card stock with some Fine Detail White Embossing Powder.

For my second project, I combined the Crisp Apple Dies with the new Wooden Barrel Die Set. After ink-blending my apples, I went ahead and die cut my wooden barrel from a piece of Kraft card stock. I then added some shading my barrel by blending the vertical slats in the barrel with some Ground Espresso and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink to give it more depth. Next, I die cut my "metal" barrel pieces from some silver shine card stock to make it look more realistic.

To give my background some texture, I die cut my red background piece with the new Buffalo Plaid Straight Die and then layered it with a piece of white card stock to which I had added some more texture using the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. I also added a red scalloped circle once again using the Scalloped Circle Mat 3 Dies and layered it with a white stitched circle that I had die cut with the Stitched Circle Small Dies. To finish my card, I again heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto a banner that I had die cut from red card stock using the Brilliant Banner 1 Die.

For my last card, I combined the Crisp Apple Die Set with the previously released Slimline Scalloped Frame and Slimline Nature Border die sets. I also added some cute little mice that I had stamped using both the Harvest Mice and Merry Mice clear stamp sets. I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock, colored them with Copic Markers, and used their coordinating die sets to cut them out.

For my background sky, I lightly blended some Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink and added some spatters of diluted Copic Opaque White Paint and some light brown dots from Copic Markers for added interest. I also added some white ink spatters to my grass area after I had ink-blended it with some Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. I stamped my sentiment from the Punny Apple Greetings Stamp Set onto the top right corner with black ink and once again added my images with 3D foam adhesive tape for a pop of dimension.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today and will check out these amazing new products! Thanks so much for dropping by! If you want more card making inspiration, feel free to also check out my Instagram Feed! Wishing you all a lovely day!
