Jolly Gingerbread Script Background Sweet Christmas Card with Vanessa

Hello sweet Sunny Studio friends! Vanessa here with my first Christmas card of the year! Mendi has outdone herself again with this wonderful winter release - I love love love the new sets! For today's card I chose to use Jolly Gingerbread.

I trimmed a panel from script patterned paper (taken from Pinkfresh Studio’s Oh Joy paper pad) ... slightly smaller than the striped card base and adhered it. Now I stamped the images from Jolly GingerbreadPlayful Polar Bears and Christmas Icons onto a piece of white cardstock, colored them with Copics, die-cut them with the matching dies and adhered everything to the card.

Finally, I colored a rectangle of white cardstock with green Copics, stamped the sentiment and adhered it to the card with foam tape.

One Christmas card done, more to follow :) Thank you so much for stopping by today!!

Introducing New Design Team Member Francesca Vignoli!

With the rush of our new release, I failed to properly say goodbye to Amy Yang as she left for new design adventures.  We're really going to missing her... To fill her big shoes we have another amazing designer that I just know you're going to fall in love with as much as I have.  I hope you will join me in welcoming Francesca Vignoli to the Sunny Studio family!   


While you're here, make sure to scroll down to see a darling card she's sharing today using our new Playful Polar Bear stamps.  :)

Playful Polar Bears Winter Scene Card with Francesca

Hi there! Franci here with you today with my very first card for Sunny Studio Stamps! I'm super happy and excited for this new adventure and I hope you will join in the fun with me! It was love at first sight with the new Playful Polar Bears stamp set so I decided to create my first card with it!

The set is full of cute bears and lots of winter and Christmas accessories that make them perfect for all your seasonal celebrations. I went for a kind of love-themed cozy card and I'm super happy about how it turned out.

First I stamped all my images with Memento tuxedo ink, colored them with Copics, and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I actually didn't use all of the bears in the set, but be sure to check them all out because they are designed to hold little gifts or decorations in their paws. So cute! 

Next, I created my card base by folding a 5 1/8" x 7 7/8" piece of white cardstock in half and sponging some Salty Ocean Distress ink on the front to create my sky. I also cut 2 stripes of the white cardstock and used the tiny little snowflake die (free with every order) to create a dry emboss effect on both strips. I stamped my sentiment along the bottom strip. I also added a little heart from the Jolly Gingerbread stamp set.

I arranged my stamped images to create a cute scene and adhered all the pieces in place with tape and liquid glue. I drew some snowflakes in the sky with a white gel pen to create a snowy effect. I also drew little polka dots on the scarfs, and little details here and there, with the same pen to make my bears extra cute!  

Hope you like my card and thank you so much for stopping by today!

Fireplace Shaped Die Holiday Mantle Scene Card with Nancy

Hi everyone, Nancy here. It's that time of the year again when we start planning out holiday cards! Christmas is my favorite season to send handmade cheer to those I love.  Let's take a closer look at the Fireplace Shaped die set. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Fireplace Shaped Die Holiday Mantle Scene Card by Nancy Damiano

I created this card starting with a white fireplace background. This gave me a nice, clean slate to work on. To decorate, I began with the inside of fire pit and created a bold, colorful look with "bricks" in aqua tones and gray. Next, I stamped the sentiment in the upper right hand corner of the mantle. The flames and logs were layered in the center of the fire pit and give the card a touch of warmth. A few red stocking were hung with care, some with candy cane treats (from the Playful Polar Bears stamps) and an enamel heart. A sprig of holly stamped from the Christmas Icons set finishes off the card.

Decorating mantles of all different types is a fun way to use the Fireplace Shaped die set. You can go with traditional red bricks or give it a playful aqua twist - customization is endless here!

Polar Playmates Winter Scene Christmas Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I'll be using the new Polar Playmates stamp set to create a Christmas Winter scene. This new set is so super adorable with all the polar animals of course I had to use this one first.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Polar Playmates Winter Scene Christmas Card by Eloise Blue

To begin my card today I stamped, coloured in my images with Copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating dies. I then cut down a piece of watercolour paper, using a stitched rectangle die and ink blended some Distress Ink over top. I used Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Mermaid Lagoon and Salty Ocean. Going darkest on the bottom and fading to white to the top. I then splattered some water on top, picked it up with paper towel and dried it with a heat tool. I really love the reaction with water Distress Inks give!

Next I used some black ink to stamp the 'Sealiously' sentiment first onto the bottom of my panel, then used Versamark ink to stamp the 'Hoping You Have A' and 'Merry Christmas' sentiments on the top and bottom of the other sentiment. Then white heat embossed them. I then used foam tape behind my images and adhered them onto my panel. To complete my card I used fun foam to adhere to the back of my panel and then some striped patterned paper to adhere onto a card base and that finished up my card for today.

I hope you enjoyed and are loving the new release as much as I am. The whole team will be sharing projects using the new products this week, so make sure you check back for inspiration!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I'll catch you next time.
