Bundled Up Cool Christmas Penguin Card with Vanessa

Hello! Vanessa here with a cute card using Bundled Up. This adorable penguin is so fun to play with! I didn't use any dies and did no fussy-cutting for this one.

Oh, ok, I had to fussy-cut masks! First, I stamped the hat and the scarf onto a panel of white cardstock. Then I masked them and stamped the penguin. I masked him, too and applied soft blue ink with an ink blending tool. Now I stamped the snowflakes with the same ink onto the inked area. After I had removed the masks, I colored the image with Copics and stamped the sentiment. I adhered a strip of plaid patterned paper to the right corner of the card and adhered the panel.

Mug Hugs Warm Birthday Wishes Card With Lindsey

Hi!  Lindsey here today sharing a card featuring the fun new set Mug Hugs. I love coffee and hot chocolate, so the images in this set were right down my ally. I decided to pair this set with a sentiment from an older set, Bundled Up. I think they worked well together and made a super cute winter birthday card. Let's get started on how I created this card.

I began by cutting an A2 sized stitched rectangle out of some patterned paper that just worked perfectly with the Mug Hugs set. Next, I cut a smaller rectangle from some teal cardstock and added some stitching detail to the top and bottom of the rectangle. I stamped my sentiment from Bundled Up onto the teal rectangle using black ink. 

Then I stamped the Mug Hugs images onto some white cardstock and colored them using Copic markers. I used a white gel pen to add some accents and covered the mugs with Wink of Stella to make them shine. I attached the mugs to the teal rectangle using some foam tape. To finish the card off, I added a few adhesive pearls.

Holiday Style Jingle Bell Cards with Emily

Sunny Studio Stamps: Holiday Style Believe in The Magic of Christmas Jingle Bell Card by Emily Leiphart.

I made a couple of cards using the Holiday Style stamp set and coordinating dies. This is a layering stamp set, which means you use three shades of inks to stamp layer the bells or balls and they look so realistic!! I love the versatility of this set, especially the pine branch. Wow!

Here are a couple of close-ups of the layered bells and bows. They're so pretty! I used a shimmer pen on the bows to sparkle them up. Just look at how realistic those pine needles look with three shades of green ink!

The hooks are actually longer than they appear on my card. I used masking paper to shorten them because I didn't want the bells hanging quite so low on these branches.  I also used washi tape to stamp the sentiments in different colours.

Christmas Icons Snowmen Scene Card with Eloise

Hi everyone! Eloise here and today I'm gonna show how I made this fun Snowmen scene card. I combined a ton of sets today to make this card. As soon as I saw the little snowmen heads included in the Christmas Icons set I knew I wanted to somehow make them into full snowmen, so that's what I did today. The stamp sets I'm using today are Christmas Icons, Gleeful Reindeer, Birthday Smiles and Merry Sentiments, along with the Merry Word die also!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Christmas Icons Snowman Card by Eloise Blue (using Gleeful Reindeer, Merry Sentiments & Birthday Smiles).

To begin my card today I stamped out all my images. I used the Snowmen heads from the Christmas Icons set, I then used the outline balloon image from the Birthday Smiles set for the body. I also used the trees, sleigh strings and one of the little dots from the Gleeful Reindeer set. I used my Copic markers to colour in all the images and then once that was done I die cut them out using all the coordinating dies. 

Now I moved onto my background. I used various blue Distress Inks to create the background today, just ink blending the colours together. I also used my favourite water splotch technique to give the background a little more interest. I also then cut a snowy hill from some white cardstock too. I die cut into the background using a scalloped rectangle die and cut into the snowy hill piece I cut also, then adhered them together. I used liquid adhesive to adhere down the trees onto my scene and then used foam adhesive to put down my snowmen. I used the sleigh strings for the arms, the little open dots for the buttons or coal and used the balloons for the bodies of the snowmen, they worked out great!

For the sentiments I decided to pull out my Merry Sentiments stamp set along with my new favourite Merry die and stamp in Versamark 'May your Christmas be' and then white heat embossed that onto the background and added the die cut Merry onto the background also. To finish it up I adhered my panel down with some fun foam onto a kraft card base and added a little double twine bow to the fold. To make it more Christmassy I added a little Wink of Stella to the hats and trees and that finished up my card today.

I hope you enjoyed and got inspired to look at your stamps a little differently. Check back the rest of the week for some more inspiration! :)
