Holy Night Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, merry Christmas to those celebrating the holiday season! I'm back with this lovely nativity scene showcasing the perfect stamp set for the occasion: Holy Night, which is also the very first Sunny Studio set I bought back in 2020 and introduced me to the brand. Feel welcome to check the two other Holy Night cards I made here and here.

I started off by cutting a 3-6/8" x 3-6/8" panel out of a Heroic Halftones blue pattern paper, I applied a little bit of prize ribbon distress ink to the edges and then a bit of chipped sapphire distress ink to darken my sky even more, mixed a few drops of liquid stardust with water and added sparkling splatters all over my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. Next, I cut a panel as wide as the sky panel out of a Polka Dot Parade green pattern paper, turned it into a grass border using a Picket Fence Border die, applied Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness distress inks to the edges, and then added white splatters. I cut a square panel out of white cardstock using the second largest Stitched Square die, attached my night sky panel using liquid glue, and then the grass border using 1mm foam squares. I cut a Scalloped Square 1 Large Die panel out of a Classic Sunburst blue pattern paper, stuck my white panel to it using 1mm foam squares again, and finally attached my panel to a 4,5" x 4,5" white card base.

I stamped my Holy Night images on 110lb Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, cut them all with the coordinating dies, and then colored everything with my Ohuhu markers in a brown and neutral color palette. When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, attached them to my card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and then created the greeting. I white-heat-embossed "Holy Night" from Holy Night on vellum, cut it into a small circle using the second-smallest Scalloped Circle Mat 1 die, and attached it to the card with dimensional transparent squares. 

And that's it! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by the blog today. Have a very nice day, and see you soon!

Roly Poly Penguins Cards with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and today we are creating a set of three mini cards with the adorable Roly Poly Penguins stamp and die set.

Making these cute sized cards is super easy with the Mini Mat & Tag series (I used Mini Mat & Tag 1, Mini Mat & Tag 2 and Mini Mat & Tag 4). I opted for three festive papers in pink, red and teal from the Joyful Holiday pack.

Instead of using the additional tag dies I created a frame in each paper with one of the Stiched Square dies. Next, I used my paper trimmer to create 3 rectangles from white card stock slightly smaller than my colored papers. The bottom of these pieces where turned into little snowbanks for my penguins to stand on, while the rest was inked in a similar color with Distress oxides (Candied Apple, Kitsch Flamingo, Salty Ocean). I didn’t like the stark white background and these subtle lines bring extra detail to the card design without distracting from the focal point. I colored the cute penguins (Roly Poly Penguins stamp) with my Copics and added white highlights with a paint pen.

After creating little white card bases, I glued all the layers to the base before mounting the penguins with foam tape. I had ample space for a lovely sentiment and that is why I selected three phrases from the versatile Inside Greetings Seasons set. I stamped them on white card stock with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

To embellish the mini cards I used my favorite die of the season, the Snowflake Circle Frame! I use this die on so many of my holiday cards, it’s such a staple in your winter cardmaking sessions! After adding three snowflakes to each card, I added some bling using the Jewels Bright mix, the pastel Jewel mix and the Red Zircon Jewels.

I hope you give these mini cards a try, they are really so fun to make! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
