Wishing You a Cool Christmas Tag with Marion

Merry Christmas! It's Marion here popping in to wish you all a most wonderful Christmas Day. I hope that you are all enjoying a day filled with love and good times. Today I have a sweet little Christmas tag to share with you using the adorable penguin from the Bundled Up set and its coordinating dies.

This tag was pretty simple to make. I stamped and die cut the penguin and its Santa hat from white cardstock. Then all the images were coloured with Copic Markers, even the sun ray in the background. The sentiment is white heat embossed onto black cardstock and I love how it adds some contrast to the tag.

I finished off the tag with a scattering of sequins and popped the penguin up on some foam squares.

Sunny Studio products used: 

• Bundled Up stamp set

I wonder if any of you received some lovely crafty supplies for Christmas? We'd love to hear about it. 

Thanks for stopping by and Merry Christmas,
Marion

Sending Birthday Wishes Balloon Card with Elise

Hello! It's Elise here to share a quick and simple birthday card with you that features the Birthday Smiles stamp set! This is one of my favorite sets, so I wanted to use it to make a colorful birthday card!

I stamped the balloons in pink, yellow, and blue inks, and the balloon string wing a grey ink. The sentiment is actually two different sentiments from this stamp set together because I wanted to include the "sending" in this sentiment. I added some grey hearts stamped around the balloons, and I finished the card by adding some twine along the top! 

Here's a close up on the balloons:

They look so neat with the overlapping colors! I also used a white gel pen to add some details to the balloons after I stamped them!

Thanks for stopping by to see this card featuring the Birthday Smiles stamp set!  

Have a Merry Christmas Eve!

Introducing A New Team Member & A Sad Goodbye...

I knew this day was coming, but I'm so sad it is finally here.  Audrey Tokach has decided to step down from the team to give herself a little breathing room.  When she signed on I knew she could probably only squeeze us into her busy schedule for a few months, but I am so grateful for the time she gave us and for taking a chance on our new little company.  She's the best and will be welcome back anytime.  :)

To fill her spot, we have the talented Francine Vuillème joining us.  I have been a huge fan of hers for a long time and have been dying to have her join us since she played along with us for grand opening blog hop last September.  I just know you are going to fall in love with her too (if you're not already head over heals).   ;)

Thanks Ladies!  Your talents are so appreciated!  :)

Sending a Smile Birthday Card with Audrey

Hi there!  Audrey here!  I am so sad that this will be my last post as part of the Sunny Studio design team.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on the team and have had so much fun!

Today I am sharing a card using the Bundled Up stamp set and Birthday Smiles stamp set.  I stamped the balloons from the Birthday Smiles stamp set on the top of my white card base, followed by the balloon strings.  I stamped, colored and fussy cut two penguins from the Bundled Up stamp set and grounded them on a piece of black cardstock.  

To add a fun pop of color, I added a strip of cardstock that was inked with distress inks in a rainbow of colors, and then along the left edge, a piece of polka dot paper.  I added a black and white twine bow along the bottom, and stamped a sentiment from Birthday Smiles in the top right corner.  It didn't pop enough for my liking, so I outlined it with a white gel pen, a trick I learned from a fellow stamper, Kelly.  Finally, I added a scattering of clear sequins in various sizes.

That's all for me today, but before I go we have one final sneak peek for the Spring release with another look at the Sunny Borders stamps (with coordinating dies).  This set not only features some fun borders, but all a very versatile banner die and extra sentiment to fit inside.  :)

Be sure to stop by tomorrow for more inspiration from the design team!! :)

Cool Christmas Watercolored Card with Heidi

Hello everyone, Heidi Here!  Today I have a card that I created by combining a couple of adorable winter stamp sets, the "Bundle Up" and "Snow Kissed" I think these two stamps complement each other nicely.

For this card, I stamped and heat embossed the winter accessories from the "Bundle Up" stamp set to created a background pattern, then I water colored all the little images and I applied a very subtle blue color on the whole background. I stamped the adorable penguin from the "Snow Kissed" stamp set and I colored using water color brush markers as well, and I die cut it using its coordinated die. Finally, I stamped the sentiment on a piece of black card stock and I heat embossed it using white embossing powder.

I hope you've enjoyed this card, the "Snow kissed" and the "Bundle Up" stamp set are available at the Sunny Studio shop.

For today's sneak peek we have one last look at the Rain or Shine stamp set which includes a rainbow and two clouds.  The beauty of these images is that they come separate so you can use the clouds with the rainbow or on their own (or mixed with the larger cloud from the Sunny Sentiments set).  ;)

I wish you a very Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate, and a Happy New Year! 

Have a lovely day!
