Sunny Saturday Share: Penguin Birthday & Christmas Cards

Hello there!  How was your Thanksgiving?!  Did you brave the crowds and do some holiday shopping afterwards?  I traditional head out with one or more of my sisters and I gotta say it was pretty wonderful this year.  It must have something to do with more retailers offering their deals online to thin out the stores a bit.  Of course I did both types of shopping so I'm feeling pretty spent in every sense of the word.  ;)

Today we have some cute cards to share all using our penguin images from our Bundled Up and Snow Kissed stamp sets.

Up first is a super clever card by Angel Johns combining our Bundled Up and Birthday Smiles stamp sets.  I just love how she took the ice cream cone and turned it into a party hat using one of the pom-poms from the hats in the set!

For our second share we have an adorable card by Photcrafter posted to our Flickr group.  I am in love the colors of her card and the cute way she has the penguins peeking out from the circle windows!

Up next is a darling card by Cindy Horvath from over at the Mod Squad Challenge Blog using our Snow Kissed Stamp Set.  I love her use of patterned paper and how she colored her image to match.  So adorable!  

Our last card features that same penguin image in a soft and sweet snowy scene from Cards By Nicola.  So cute!

I hope you will join these ladies by sharing your darling creations with us on our Facebook page, in our Flickr group or by tagging us with the hashtag #SunnyStudioStamps on instagram.  

I hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!  :)

Santa's Helpers Merry Puppy Dog Card with Marion

Hello. Marion here with a simple Christmas card using the Santa's Helpers stamp set, along with the coordinating die set.

I coloured in this cute little guy with Copic markers and popped him up on some foam squares to add some dimension to the card. To create the sentiment, I adhered four layers of the word merry together to form a thicker die sentiment from red cardstock.

The holly berries are covered in Glossy Accents and there is a little bit of shimmer on the Santa hat with some clear Wink of Stella Glitter brush pen.

Sunny Studio products used:

• Santa's Helpers stamp set
• Santa's Helpers die set

How is your Christmas card making going? Hopefully this week the DT has inspired you with some new ideas.

Thanks for visiting today,

Marion

Merry & Bright Holiday Christmas Card with Elise

Hello there! It's Elise again to share a fun Christmas card with you today that features the Santa's Helpers coordinating dies!

I really wanted to focus on using some of the extra dies that are included in the die set, such as the merry & bright sentiment, as well as the holly leaves and berries!

I die cut the sentiment from gold glittery paper as well as black card stock. I offset the black die cut to give the sentiment a shadowy look to help it stand out against the white background. Here is a close up on the sentiment:

Next, I die cut the holly leaves and berries from green and red striped patterned paper, and arranged them around the sentiment. I finished the card by adding some gold enamel dots, red patterned paper for some more color, and a large green bow on the side!

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great Thanksgiving!  :)

Santa's Helpers: Happy Howlidays Christmas Card with Audrey

Hello there! Audrey here with a card featuring the Santa's Helper's stamp set.  It was difficult trying to decide which images to use for my project today, but then as I was coloring them, I had a lightbulb moment.  At first when looking at this image I didn't see a cocker spaniel, but then I decided to color the patch of hair under their chin like a bandanna and suddenly I thought they started looking like my babies!  I'm so excited to finally have a stamp that looks like them!

I started off by watercoloring a piece of Tim Holtz watercolor paper with my Artist's Loft watercolor set from Michaels.  When it was dry, I ran it through my die-cut machine to give it a stitched edge. I wanted to bring in a bit of red to coordinate with the Santa's hats so I pulled out a piece of red and white striped patterned paper from my stash.  I popped the dogs up using foam tape after die-cutting them with their coordinating dies.  I stamped a sentiment from the set on a speech bubble die-cut and then added some diecut snowflakes which are also included in the Santa's Helpers die set.  To add a bit of sparkle around the snowflakes, I added some sparkling clear sequins, and then mounted the panel on a dark green card base using foam tape.  Finally, I added a bow with my favorite red and white bakers twine.

That's all for me today!  I hope you like my card!  Be sure to stop back by tomorrow with more inspiration from the design team!  Happy Thanksgiving to you!!
