Please Join Us For The Caring Hearts Drive

The holidays are about family, kindness, and joy. However, during this time many of the elderly who live in nursing homes feel lonely. Wouldn’t it be great if we brought a smile to their face and brightened their holiday season simply by sharing our love of cardmaking? Please join crafters around the world for the 7th annual Caring Hearts Card Drive. Last year we collected over 22,000 cards and distributed them to over 100 nursing homes throughout the world. And we hope to collect even more this year! 

Please join us. Details for the card drive can be found at: Vera Yates Blog & Jennifer McGuire's Blog. Sunny Studios is proud to be a sponsor… offering a prize to a lucky contributor!

Holiday Style Clean & Simple Classy Christmas Card with Vanessa

Hello everybody!  Vanessa here with a non-traditional colored Christmas card using Holiday Style. I experimented with grey, white, red and silver here.

First, I stamped the tree branch onto my white card base. Then I stamped the sentiment and heat-embossed it with silver embossing powder. I stamped the ornament onto a piece of white cardstock and die-cut it with the matching die. After I had adhered it to the card, I stamped the hanging loop and finished the card off with various sequins.

What do you think? Too little color? I wasn't sure if I liked it first, but I like it better now :) Something different for Christmas.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Blissful Baking & Little Angels Birthday Card with Lindsey

Hi, Lindsey here today sharing a birthday card combining Blissful Baking and Little Angels. I love mixing and matching all the Sunny Studio Stamps. They just work so well together. Let's get started on how I created this card.

To begin, I cut an A2 size piece of white cardstock. Then, I used a cloud border die to cut another piece of paper and used that as a stencil for my cloud background. I simply placed the cloud piece of paper on the card base and blended distress ink over the top of it onto the white card base. Next, I stamped the images from both Blissful Baking and Little Angels onto white cardstock and colored the images with Copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out each image. 

Before placing the images on the card, I stamped my sentiment from Blissful Baking onto the cloud card base. Once the sentiment was stamped, I attached my colored images. I used both regular adhesive and foam tape. Then I used the sprinkle stamp from Blissful Baking to stamp directly onto the cloud background to make it look like the little angel was "sprinkling" the cookies on the plate. Finally, I added some sparkle with my Wink of Stella pen and some pink and clear sequins. In order to make the cloud panel really pop, I mounted it to a pink scalloped rectangle. That's it!

I like how both of these sets can be used for more than just holiday cards. They combined so perfectly for a sweet little birthday card. I hope you will give these sets a try, and I can't wait to see what you guys create! Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Little Angel Sends Joy to the World

Today, I'm featuring the Little Angels stamp set and coordinating dies. To start, I created a wreath of poinsettias from the Christmas Icons stamp set. I stamped and fussy cut four of each of the two sizes of poinsettias so I could lay those masks on to the watercolour panel and decide on the position of each flower before stamping.

After watercoloring the poinsettias with distress inks, I set the panel aside and stamped the angel and candle for watercolouring. After the pieces were dry, I used a craft knife to cut slits above and below the angel's hands so I could slide a candle behind it. To finish, I heat embossed the sentiment and adhered the angel with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
