Moroccan Circle Embossing Folder Christmas Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some Christmas cards featuring our Moroccan Circle Embossing Folder.

Sunny Studio Holiday Christmas Cards using Winter Wreaths Stamps, Pristine Poinsettia Dies, Moroccan Circles Embossing Folder

For my cards today, I was having fun experimenting with Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Glazes. I started by inking up a 6x6 white cardstock panel with Peacock Feathers Distress Inks before running the panel through my die-cutting machine with the Moroccan Circle Embossing Folder. I then pressed my Versamark Ink Pad directly to the surface, trying to coat the entire panel, before sprinkling it with Evergreen Bough distress embossing glaze. When I created the panel, I wasn't sure how I was going to use it, and I wanted to be able to crop it around any mistakes I might make. I love how the speckled glossy embossed background invokes the feeling of real handmade Moroccan tiles!

I thought red would look so good against the teal green background, so I embellished my card with three layered Pristine Poinsettia Dies. Each flower is comprised of three stacked layers, twisted to show 9 petals in all. I used a paper piercer to poke a hole down the center and inserted a small red brad to hold the layers together tightly, before using a craft hammer to completely flatten the head of the brad. This gave me a smooth surface to adhere groupings of Red Zicron Jewels adhered with Multi Matte Medium, which dries clear. Our Winter Greenery Dies cut from a couple different shades of green cardstock were used as filler around the poinsettia flowers. I completed my card by heat embossing the "Enjoy the Beauty of the Season" sentiment from our Inside Greetings Christmas Stamps on a black pennant cut with the Notebook Photo Corners Dies.

For my second card, I started with the leftover embossed strip cut off the first card using the Moroccan Circle Embossing Folder. I decided to experiment some more by adding a second layer of Versamark Ink and another coat of Evergreen Bough Distress Embossing Glaze. This second pass filled in some low spots and made the surface even more glossy and smooth. The additional layer also deepened the rich green color of the glaze over the original peacock feathers inked cardstock. On my second pass there were a few low spots I couldn't see that I had missed with the Versamark Ink pad, so going back with the VersaMark Pen was the perfect way to touch things up and make those misses almost entirely invisible. I really struggled to get good crisp photos of this beauty of the glaze since my camera wanted to focus on the wreath, but it's stunning in person!

I used our Winter Wreaths Stamps for the focal point of my card, embellishing it with the bow, mini layered poinsettias, berries, and extra bough image. I chose to stamp my wreath and evergreen sprigs onto green cardstock to help the die-cut images fill out and blend with the stamped images for a tone-on-tone look. I heat-embossed a simple "noel" greeting in the center of my wreath from the Classy Christmas Stamps and added a scalloped lace border from the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. Lastly, I added some more mini Red Zicron Jewels to the center of each poinsettia for an extra touch of holiday shine.

Winter Greenery Card with Alma

Hello everyone, Alma here. Today I’m showing you a card filled with lots of die-cut elements. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Winter Greenery & Wood Barrel Die Focused Holiday Card by Alma (featuring Dotted Diamond Dies, Greetings Word Dies)

At the center of my card is the Wood Barrel Die, which I colored using Distress Oxide Inks. I filled the Wood Barrel with die cuts from the Winter Greenery Dies, also colored with Distress Oxide Inks.

For my sentiment, I used the word "Holiday" from the Holiday Hugs Stamps set and die-cut the word "greetings" using the Greetings Word Die. For the background, I used the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die.

And just like that, my holiday greeting card is complete!

Designer's Choice: Special Day Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and for this designer’s choice I created a special ‘easel’ birthday card mixing several sets.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Special Day Birthday Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Scalloped Square Dies, Stitched Square Dies, Everyday Greetings, Ribbon & Lace Border Dies, Winter Greenery)

Starting off with a white square card base and adding several layers using the fun Scalloped Square 1 Dies Small (in white card stock and vellum) and Stitched Square Dies (in teal glitter paper and white card stock). The smallest white square is also dry embossed with the Quilted Hearts Folder.  

I glued all the layers together and before adhering them to the card base, I scored the front of this base horizontally in half. That way, I can add the squares only to the bottom part of the base to create the ‘easel mechanism’.

On the inside of the base I adhered a ‘stopper’ consisting of a rectangle of white card stock on which I stamped the ‘Happy Birthday’ from Everyday Greetings with Versafine Onyx Black ink and a scalloped white banner strip made by using one of the Ribbon & Lace BordersWhen you ‘fold’ the front of the card base, the stopper will make sure your easel card is standing up perfectly.

A special birthday deserves a wonderful and festive cake! I selected a two-tiered one decorated with beautiful flowers (Special Day) and colored the image with my Copics in teal, pink and yellow tones. The blue ’70 candles’ make this cake even more amazing! I love how you can provide that extra accent with the numbers.

The cake was mounted to the embossed panel with foam tape for dimension. As extra decoration, I added white leaves from the Winter Greenery Die set and a few Crystal Clear Jewels scattered around the focal point.

I hope you like this card design and give it a try! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Spring Garden Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am featuring the fun Spring Garden dies! This set includes a variety of cute flowers and all the tools a gardener would need. I decided to go for a pastel Easter card, combining the dies with two adorable bunnies from Bunnyville. They are sized perfectly to fit inside the watering can and flowerpot!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Spring Garden Die Focused Easter Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Bunnyville, Stitched Arch Dies, Frilly Frame Dies, Mini Grass Dies, Picket Fence Dies, Happy Thoughts, Winter Greenery Dies)

I started with a white card base and a purple flower frame made from a sheet of the Flirty Flowers papers. After cutting a panel with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace die, I used the largest of the Stitched Arched dies.

We are creating a little flower garden scene, so I also made two grassy borders with one of the Mini Grass Border dies and inked them with Distress Oxide Lucky Clover. Next, I pulled out the Picket Fence die. I love how the white of the fence gives extra dimension to the grass portion of this card. I kept my background fairly neutral with some soft yellow clouds (Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade and a cloud stencil from my stash). The two bunnies from Bunnyville where colored in grey tones with Copic Markers, and I added some details with a white gel pen.

Then it was time for a bunch of die cutting, I used a sheet of white Neenah paper and did my ink blending in happy Spring colors (Distress Oxide Squeezed lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo, Wilted Violet, Lucky Clover).

After assembling the garden tools and flowers with some liquid glue, I arranged all the elements on the card panel. Next, I decided where I would stamp my sentiment from Happy Thoughts in Versafine Onyx Black ink. After gluing the cloud panel to the card base, I added the grass borders and the fence. Next, I popped up the flower frame with foam tape. Then I added all my garden elements and bunnies. To create a garland for the top of the arch I used flowers from the Spring Garden dies and some purple leaves made with one of the Winter Greenery dies.

A few Crystal Clear Jewels were added for some fun bling. Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Sprawling Surfaces Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am featuring the versatile Sprawling Surfaces stamp set which will be a staple in my stash for sure! I love that you get three different textures, so the possibilities are endless.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sprawling Surfaces Birthday Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Bighearted Bears, Charming City, Stitched Arch Dies, Winter Greenery Dies, Brilliant Banner Dies)

I had been wanting to use the adorable houses from the Charming City for a while and they are the perfect match for the brick pavement. Since I incorporated several fun colors for the houses, my card base and frame needed to be more muted. To start, I created a simple white base and cut a panel with the border die from Frilly Frames Chevron and a tiled paper (Subtle Grey Tones pad). The largest Stitched Arched Die creates the perfect opening for any scene and you’ll end up with a an arched frame and an inner piece that I put aside for another project.

Next, I stamped the row of houses from Charming City and the cycling cuties from Bighearted Bears. All the coloring was done with Copic Markers, and I added some details with a white gel pen. This time I opted for a more Mediterranean vibe and houses in bright colors.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sprawling Surfaces Birthday Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Bighearted Bears, Charming City, Stitched Arch Dies, Winter Greenery Dies, Brilliant Banner Dies)

For my background, I stamped the brick pavement onto a piece of white Neenah paper and used some more Copics in matching pink shades. The sky portion was ink blended with Distress Oxide Victorian Velvet.

I glued the background to my card base and added the row of houses directly above the brick pavement. Then I could mount the grey frame with foam tape. That instantly creates lots of dimension. Lastly, I placed the cute bears in front of the houses.

My sentiment (Heartfelt Wishes) was stamped in a purple die ink onto a white Brilliant Banner 2. It fitted perfectly above the row of houses. As extra embellishments I added a few white hearts (Bursting Hearts die), some leaves (Winter Greenery dies) and small flowers (Spring Garden dies).

I am sure you will create amazing projects with these great surface stamps! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
