I cut the base Sweater Vest on a blue diamond patterned paper from Gingham Jewel Tones collection on both sides. You can choose which one you prefer, a crew neck or a V-neck like mine. I add a cute blue bow tie to complete the look.

I also decided to cut some alphabets die cut to spell "DAD" on the front. It's super easy and simple, perfect for your man. I can't wait to try this die cut for another projects too. A shaped card always look sophisticated without trying too much. Don't you all agree with me?

I really hope you like today's card, thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!

First, I stamped the sentiment onto my white cardstock panel. Then I stamped the leaves and the berries. After I had adhered the panel to the red card base, I added Glossy Accents to the berries for a little highlight.

If you want to change up things a little, just stamp the leaves and berries all over the background or maybe a border of them along one edge? Whatever you like best, I hope to have inspired you to get your Christmas card production going!

Have a wonderful day everybody and thanks for stopping by!

Warm & Cozy Hot Cocoa And Mittens Christmas Cards with Franci

Hello there! Franci here with you today with a couple of clean and simple cards featuring the new Warm & Cozy die set! 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Warm & Cozy Jolly Gingerbread Hot Cocoa And Mittens Christmas Cards by Franci Vignoli

These little mittens and the cup of hot cocoa, with all those little marshmallow, are so cute! I totally fell in love with them. They are so easy and quick to put together, that you can totally choose something like this as the design for all of your Christmas cards! 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Warm & Cozy Jolly Gingerbread Hot Cocoa And Mittens Christmas Cards by Franci Vignoli

First, I created my white card base. I made them 4 x 5 inches, a little smaller than the standard size, and added some dry embossing details with my scoring board. I love doing that because it's such an easy way for adding more interest onto a clean and simple design!

Next, I die cut all of the elements and all of the accessories out of both the new Holiday Cheer 6x6 paper pack, as well as white and brown cardstock. I glued everything together with liquid glue and I also added some gold twine to connect the mittens.

I shaded a little bit of the white cardstock with a light grey Copic and added lots of Wink of Stella clear to make my images sparkle. I softly inked the front of my card with Peacock Feathers Distress ink and I glued all of the elements down with foam adhesive.

Then I stamped the sentiment, from the Jolly Gingerbread stamp set, onto the bottom right corner and I also added some sparkling clear sequins to finish my cards.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Alpaca Holiday Framed Snowy Scene Christmas Card with Juliana

Hello friends! It's Juliana Michaels and I'm excited to share a sweet little Christmas card I created using the Alpaca Holiday stamp set! These adorable little alpacas just bring a smile to my face and I'm pretty sure this Christmas card will do the same for it's recipient.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Alpaca Holiday Fancy Frames Rectangles Frosty Flurries Snowy Scene Christmas Card by Juliana Michaels

I began by stamping and coloring the images from the Alpaca Holiday stamp set with Copic markers. I then die cut them using the coordinating die set. Once the coloring and cutting was complete, I set these to the side to start working on the snowy scene I wanted to create.

To create the framed scene, I took the smaller of the rectangle dies from the Fancy Frames Rectangles die set and cut if from white cardstock. I then cut a rectangle from Bristol Paper that was sized to layer behind the frame. I inked this up with Distress Oxide in Blueprint Sketch and Salty Ocean. To make it look like snow, I lightly sprinkled water onto the paper and dabbed it dry. I still wanted a more snowy look, so I grabbed the the Frosty Flurries stamp. I wipe the inked paper with an embossing powder tool and then stamped the image with Versamark embossing ink (the embossing powder tool will prevent any extra embossing powder from sticking to the paper in areas where you might not want it). I then heat set it with white embossing powder. Now, I had the snowy background I was looking for!

Next, I cut a thin strip of white cardstock and adhered that to the bottom edge of the snowy background. I then layered on the stamped and colored images to create the scene. For the sentiment, I stamped it onto a piece of white cardstock that I die cut using the pennant die from the Fancy Frames Rectangles die set. To complete the card, I adhered the framed snowy scene to a piece of patterned paper from the Holiday Cheer 6x6 paper pad.

I hope this card inspires you to pull out the Alpaca Holiday stamp set and start creating some Christmas cards with it! We can't wait to see what you create and share with us!
