25 Days of Christmas Tags using Tag Topper Dies with Video

Tracey McNeely invited us to participate in her 25 Days of Christmas Tags and I was so happy a few of our team members are able to play along!

Up first is a fun set of tags by miss Eloise combining our Blissful Baking, Mug Hugs & Christmas Icons stamps with our Crescent Tag Topper dies.


Up next in a trio of tags by Lexa using Gleeful Reindeer and our Crescent Tag Topper dies.



Emily also created some fun tags with a similar combo of our Gleeful Reindeer stamps and Crescent Tag Topper & Fishtail Banner dies.



For our last tag of the day, Lindsey created a fun shaker...


Lindsey says: I used the Mug Hugs stamp set as well as the tag topper dies to create my tag.  I began with two 4 1/4" x 3 1/8" pieces of patterned paper. I also cut a white piece of card stock in the same way for the back of the tag. I used the tag topper die to cut the top of both sheets of paper and give them the tag shape. Since this was going to be a shaker tag, I cut a square hole with a die in the polka dot piece of paper. I covered the hole using a piece of acetate, this would create the window in the tag. I cut the heart on the front of the tag using the heart in the Mug Hug dies set. 

Next, I stamped the mug and colored it with Copic markers. Once it was colored, I stamped my sentiment on top of the mug. I cut the mug using the Mug Hug die and attached it to the shaker window with regular adhesive. I used two layers of foam tape on the back of the window portion of the tag to create a well for all the shaker pieces. I filled the well with glitter, seed beads, and sequins and then attached the second patterned tag to the back of the shaker front. To finish it off, I added a piece of ribbon to the top of the tag.


Awhile back I created a video sharing how our tag topper dies work that I don't think I ever got around to sharing here on the blog.  You can view it at our YouTube channel HERE.

Sunny Saturday Share: Customer Thanksgiving & Holiday Cards


How are you?  Are you getting ready for the holidays? Despite my best efforts I've managed to come down with a nasty cold/flu this weekend that both my daughters have been suffering from for awhile now.  I thought I was nearly in the clear after a week of not getting it, but sadly I'm just not that lucky after all.  ;)  

I couldn't let today pass though without swinging by to share all the AMAZING cards that YOU, our wonderful customers have been creating.  I am constantly feeling blown away!

The Magic Of Christmas Card by Lexa

Hi Sunny Studio friends!  Lexa here with a classic colors choice card, adding more inspirations using your Holiday Style stamp and coordinating dies. I'm so ready for Christmas -it's getting closer.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Holiday Style Jingle Bell Magic of Christmas Card by Lexa Levana.

I think a shaker card is super fun, my daughter is always so excited every time I make one. She will shake it with all her might, making mommy worry it will tear. LOL. 

I started with two pieces of white cardstock, one for making a background and the other one for the front panel. I must say that Holiday Style stamp is super pretty, my favorite is the bell, I can't stop staring at it. I'll share a trick how to build this bell, I found it's easier to start with the darkest part to the base/lightest part. As for the bow, I didn't find any difficulties so you can do either way.

For the background of my shaker window, I blend Shabby Shutters and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks then stamped the pine leaves. Not forget the sentiment, the handwritting looks so pretty. What's a Christmas card without some blings? ;) I use pretty sequins from Pretty Pink Posh, Martha Stewarts (tiny clear stars) and die cut some stars from Star Border Dies on a piece of gold foil paper.

I hope I've inspired you today.  Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Little Angels Card with Vanessa

Hello there!  Vanessa here with a card using the sweet set Little Angels. How cute are these images? 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Little Angels Christmas Card by Vanessa Menhorn.

First, I die-cut the curved banner from a piece of cardstock and inked it with light blue ink. I adhered the piece to the bottom of my white card base and trimmed off the excess. Now I stamped the angel, colored it with Copics and die-cut it with the matching dies. After I had adhered it to the card with foam tape, I stamped the silver stars and adhered matching sequins around it.

These little faces are adorable, aren't they? I hope you liked today's card! Thanks for stopping by!

Bundled Up Penguin Card with Lindsey

Hi, Lindsey here today sharing a Christmas card featuring the adorable Bundled Up stamp set. I just love that cute little chubby penguin and of course all of his fun accessories! There is so much that you can do with this set. It is perfect for winter birthday cards or holiday cards. Let's get started on how I created my card.


Sunny Studio Stamps: Bundled Up Penguin Cool Christmas Card by Lindsey Sams.

To begin this card, I cut a piece of snowflake patterned paper to an A2 size card base. I knew I wanted the Penguins to be standing in the snow, so I created two snowy hills using a hillside border die. One hill is smaller than the other to create some dimension. Next, I stamped out all of my images from Bundled up onto some white card stock and colored them with Copic markers. I used some fun non-traditional colors for my penguins, and I just think they look so cute. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images and then the fun began. I got to "dress" the sweet little guys in their winter gear. 

I stamped my sentiment on the front of the first snow bank using some purple dye ink that complimented the snowflake paper I used. Then it was time to put my card together. I used regular adhesive for the back snow hill and popped up the front snow hill and penguins using foam adhesive. This made the Penguins really pop up from the scene. I finished off my card by adding a couple of iridescent snowflakes next to my sentiment.

That's it for me today. Thanks so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed my card. I hope you'll try this fun set. All the mixing and matching options make this set so much fun to create with. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with. Have a great day!
