Blissful Baking & Little Angels Card with Video by Emily

Sunny Studio Stamps: Little Angels & Blissful Baking Sweet Christmas Card by Emily Leiphart.

I'm so excited to share my first video for Sunny Studio Stamps!  I'm featuring the Blissful Baking stamp set and coordinating dies but I also used Little Angels to deliver the treats and the Tag Topper Crescent Die Set to sponge my first ever billowy cloud sky.

View the video down below or on YouTube HERE.

I sparkled up the angels' halos and wings, and, of course, the cookies with a glitter pen. I purposely die cut three extra cookies to look as if they're falling off the tray towards the recipient. It's the reverse effect of the Star Wars opening crawl.

Gleeful Reindeer Moonlight Scene by Eloise

Hello everyone, Eloise here and today I'm here to show you a card using the Gleeful Reindeer set. These reindeers are so super adorable and I loved making this moonlight scene with them all on this card today. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Gleeful Reindeer Moonlight Scene Holiday Christmas Card by Eloise Blue.

To begin my card today I stamped, coloured and die cut all my images out from the Gleeful Reindeer set. I then got to work on my background. I first die cut a circle out of some masking paper and put that down onto my watercolour cardstock to protect it, since it's going to be a moon later on. I used various colours of Distress Inks to create my night sky background. I then used the negative piece of the masking paper and protected the night sky, while I worked on the moon, I used Distress Inks for this too. Once my background was done I used some white mist, water and shimmer watercolour to splatter the background, to make it look more starry.

Once the background was all done and dry I could work on assembling my scene together. I die cut two snow hills - but you could just use your scissors to cut a border like this and then adhered those onto my scene. I then took all my previously coloured and cut images and arranged them on my scene too, using various adhesives. To finish up my card I white heat embossed my sentiment on some red cardstock and cut it to a banner strip, added my entire scene onto a black card base and then added a little wink of stella to my images too, this wink of stella I used was so juicy that it sort of spurted out everywhere on my images, but hopefully it looks okay!

I hope you enjoyed my card today and check back the rest of the week for more inspiration!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Christmas Cards with Kimberly Rendino

I'm so excited to welcome Kimberly Rendino to the blog today as our special guest.  She has some gorgeous cards that are going to knock your socks off!  Take it away Kimberly...

Hi there!  I’ve created three cards to share with you today using Holiday Style, Merry Sentiments and the coordinating dies!  

My first card is completely heat embossed!   To create the fun snowy effect on the pine bough, I mixed together a bit of clear and white embossing powder.   The shadow of the silver ornament was heat embossed with sparkle embossing powder.

For my second card I used the pine bough from Holiday Style to create a wreath.   The little berries were stamped with the Autumn Splendor stamp set, and coated with Glossy Accents.   I added the white accent on top of the Glossy Accents with a paint pen!

The third card showcases the fun light bulbs in the Merry Sentiments set.   I began by embossing the light bulb die into a piece of white cardstock repeatedly.   This is a great way to get more mileage from your dies!   I stamped and die cut a rainbow of light bulbs and coated them with Glossy Accents.   Once dry, I added them to a “cord” made of embroidery floss.   A coat of Wink of Stella glitter marker makes the ‘Merry’ sentiment sparkle.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Christmas Projects with Michelle Short



Hello there, Michelle here and I am super excited to be guest designing for Sunny Studio today. 

My first project uses the adorable Gleeful Reindeer stamp set and dies. I created a background piece using masking and Distress Inks and then added the reindeer on top with foam tape. Don’t they look like they are having fun in the snow? :)

My second project uses the Christmas Icons stamp set, along with the Crescent Tag Topper dies. I love that you can completely customise your tags using the tag topper dies. For my tags, I used a combination of red and white cardstock, along with an acetate strip for an added bit of fun. The Christmas Icons add that cuteness to them!

Merry Sentiments Bright Christmas Card by Lexa

Hello everyone! Lexa here today with a card starring Merry Sentiments stamp and it's coordinating dies. I love these Christmas light bulbs, they are so pretty when you stamp all the layers.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Merry Sentiments & Holiday Style Vintage Lights Border Christmas Card by Lexa Levana.

I started with a piece of 4.25"x 5.5" white cardstock, and stamped all the light bulbs on the edges. I think it will be more festive with a colorful light bulbs on your Christmas tree. I started with the lighter colors and layered them with the darker ones after. Have I mentioned the heart wire inside the bulbs? Oh, it is so super cute. I did the same thing for the bulb's base, start with a lighter grey and stamped the detail with a darker one. After I was happy with my bulb border, I die cut about eight pieces bulb's coordinating dies to mask some of them before I stamped the leaves from Holiday Style stamp. 

As for my sentiment I used silver embossing powder on black cardstock and layered it on top a piece of vellum. It makes the sentiment stand out from the background. Last but not least, I cut a piece of 4.5"x 5.75" silver glitter cardstock from Doodlebug for the card base.
