Holiday Cards with Guest Designer Anita Madden

I'm pleased to welcome the talented Miss Anita Madden to the blog today.  She always inspires me each time she creates with our stamps and today is no different.  Take it away Anita...  ;)

Hello!  I’m so excited to be guest designing for Sunny Studio today.  I adore these new stamp sets by Mendi and I know I’m going to be using them a lot to make Christmas cards this year! 

This card features the Gleeful Reindeer stamps.  I colored the reindeer, trees, and gifts with copics and diecut them with the coordinating dies.  I used distress ink to watercolor the sky.  I used one of the snowflakes from the stamp set with embossing powder to make the white snowflakes.  I added some snowy hills to the scene and adhered all the images.  I cut a frame from white cardstock and added acetate and sequins to make a fun shaker card. 

Once again I used the Gleeful Reindeer stamps and dies to make this card.  I colored the reindeer and tree with copics and then I applied Glossy Accents to the reindeer’s nose and hooves.  I added some ribbon and twine to a tag that I cut with the Tag Topper Dies – Traditional.  I added a few sequins to the tag to give it a little sparkle.

I used the Mug Hugs stamps and dies for this card.  I decided to make my own background for this card.  I heat embossed the sentiment and hearts using white embossing powder.  I diecut the cup and paper-pieced the kraft band on the cup.  I colored all the hearts with a red colored pencil and wrapped some baker’s twine around the top of the card.  I used foam tape to “pop up” the cup on a circle of vellum. 

I used the Mug Hugs stamps and dies to make this Christmas card in nontraditional colors.  I used distress ink to watercolor the soft background, and then added some designer paper and gold glitter paper to the card base.  I colored the images with Copics and used the coordinating dies to die-cut them.  I added a few gold sequins to finish my card.

Thank you Anita for sharing your gorgeous cards with us today.  I love them all!

Bundled Up Penguins Parade Card by Lexa

Hi everyone! Lexa here today with my adorable penguins parade using the Bundled Up stamp set. This set is a must have in my list, you know why? Just because it's so much fun to play dress up with these penguins. I'm so in love with this set. <3

I started my card with a piece of 4" x 5.25" smooth white cardstock and clear embossed LOTS of snowflakes in various sizes to create my background. Then I blend Milled Lavender and Shaded Lilac Distress Inks which turns out so pretty..love love! I also added some glitter along the bottom as snow for the penguins to stand upon, using both silver and snowflakes Stickles. I stamped my three penguins and all the accessories on a piece of watercolor paper and colored them with Distress Markers. I fussy cut all of the pieces, it took a while but at then the most fun part began....mix and match all them together. Yay!

I made all of them standing there while holding a banner with a cute sentiment from the new release, Gleeful Reindeer stamp set. I'm truly happy with the fonts, you can call me crazy, but I always have 'this feeling' with fonts. If you know what I'm saying. Lol. Last but not least, I add some googly eyes for them- for extra cuteness.

Here's a close up look of my card, aren't they the cutest?? That's all for today, I really hope you like my card as much as I do. Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have an amazing Friday!

Mug Hugs We Go Together Hot Cocoa Card with Vanessa

Hi everybody! Vanessa here with a card using the new amazing Winter release! The temperatures dropped immensely in my part of the world and I was in the mood for a hot beverage. So I inked up the cute Mug Hugs set for my card!

I started with a panel of patterned paper and inked the edges to distress them. Then I stamped the sentiment and adhered the panel to a Kraft card base. I stamped and colored the mug and the hearts and die-cut or fussy-cut the images. I thought it would be fun to have a smiling mug, so I added the face from the Fresh & Fruity set. Then I adhered the images to the card with foam tape. Now I stamped and heat-embossed the second part of the sentiment onto a strip of Kraft cardstock and adhered it.

The new sets are perfect for this season! Can't wait to ink up the rest of the stamps! Thanks for stopping by today! See you next week!

Gleeful Reindeer Holiday Gift Tags with Lindsey

Hi Lindsey here today sharing some cute holiday tags using the brand-new Crescent Tag Toppers, Christmas Icons, and Gleeful Reindeer. I just love how all the new sets and dies can be mixed and matched to create some really fun designs. Let's get started!

To begin, I cut some 3" by 4 1/2" rectangles from both patterned paper and some solid cardstock. The patterned paper would hold the stamps on the front of the tag and the solid paper would be the back of the tag where you would address it. Once those were cut, then I used the Crescent Tag Topper to create a tag. It was super easy to do. In order to have a place for the reindeer to stand, I cut some hills from glitter paper to place at the bottom of each tag. Next, I stamped all my images and colored them with Copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating dies. Then it was time to build the scenes. I used regular adhesive as well as some foam adhesive to keep my images in place. I added a few sparkle dots to a couple of the tags just to add a little interest.

Now that the fronts of the tags were finished, I needed to work on the backs. I stamped the "to" and "from" from the Christmas Icons stamp set and a sentiment and snowflakes from the Gleeful Reindeer stamp set. Adding the sentiment and snowflakes helped the back of the tag not look so plain. To finish, I added some silver sparkle twine and turquoise twine to tie the tag to a package. That's it!

This was a fun project to make. I love making cards but sometimes it's nice to switch it up a bit. Tags are a fun way to dress up a package especially at the holidays. I hope you'll try your own. Keep checking back to the blog for more fun projects and inspiration using all the fun new products! Have a great day!

Little Angels Sing Card with Emily

I'm so excited to be sharing my first card as a Sunny Studio Stamps design team member! The holiday release is amazing and the images are delightful to create with. I have so many ideas in my head and I'm hoping to share a video or two this month using the new products.

Today's card features the Little Angels stamp set. Coordinating dies are also available and would be fabulous for creating dimension. I did a lot of masking to keep my card flat for holiday mailing. After stamping the images, I curved two of the sentiments to go along with the scene.

Then I watercoloured all the images using distress inks. After the panel dried, I added shimmer to the halos and wings, which you can see in the angled photo above.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
