Feeling Frosty Cards & Video Tutorial with Guest Laura Sterckz

Hi crafters! It's Laura Sterckx here from Making Cards Is Fun and I'm thrilled to be a Holiday Guest Designer for Sunny Studio. I decided to create two adorable winter cards featuring the Scenic Route and Frosty Friends Stamp Set. Make sure to watch the video tutorial for more information, tips and tricks!

For my first card, I created an interactive panel using the Sliding Window dies. I assembled the slider and used patterned paper from the Very Merry 6x6 Paper Pad. I just love these designs and the winter scene paper I used is perfect to create quick and easy cards! 



I stamped, colored and die cut the adorable snowmen from the Frosty Friends Stamp Set. For my second card, I combined it with one of the little kids from the Fall Kiddos Stamp Set to make it look like the girl built the snowmen on the card.

For the second card, I did quite a lot of fussy cutting and masking to create a fun winter village scene. This technique takes some time and effort but it's so worth it! I created an ink blended winter sky with Distress Oxide Inks and finished off both cards with heat embossed snowflakes.

Embossing Folder Focused Cards with Candice and Rachel

Hello and happy Friday to you!  It's Candice here with you sharing a subtle use of the new Buffalo Plaid embossing folder to create a soft background!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Embossing Folders Merry Mice Season's Greetings Snowflake Frame Dies Christmas Garland Frame Dies Winter Holiday Card by Candice Fisher

My card uses all new products from the Sunny Studio Stamps new release:
I wanted a subtle embossed background to create a very soft card.  I achieved this effect by using embossing pads (both of them) on top of the buffalo plaid embossing folder and using Tab 1 on my Big Shot.  

I first die cut multiples of the circle and merry and layered them for a thick dimensional effect. Next, I stamped the mice, colored with Copic markers, cut out with the coordinating dies, gluing under the glitter circle and trimmed off the bottoms.

I then heat embossed the pine needles in green and cut out using the coordinating dies placing them under the circle frame with glue dots.

To finish the card, I created a banner by heat embossing the sentiment in white, inking with shabby shutters and placing the merry above. I added a few pink pearls for a pop of color.
Thank you for visiting with me and just a heads up, Sunny Studio Stamps is participating in the 25 Days of Christmas Tags and you can visit Tracey McNeely's blog to see the amazing tags created by the talented Sunny Studio Design Team on Sunday, November 10th!

Hello friends! It's Rachel here and I have a Christmas card to share with you today that features the new Woodgrain Embossing Folder. This embossing folder is amazing! I love the texture that it provides.

To get the two-toned look that I have on my card today, I stamped some brown ink onto the inside (smooth side) of my embossing folder. I then ran it through my machine once using a 4" x 5.25" of Kraft Card Stock. I then stamped my images from the Happy Owlidays Set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I used the coordinating Happy Owlidays Die Set to cut them out.

I die cut a piece of white card stock using one of the Woodland Border Dies to create a snow border. Prior to attaching it to my card, I stamped my sentiment in the lower right corner and then added some sparkly white glitter to the top of this snow drift with some liquid adhesive. Although it doesn't photograph well, it gives the snow some gorgeous texture. Lastly, I adhered my images to the front of my card using some 3D Foam Adhesive Squares.

I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Scenic Route Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here today with a Christmas card using the Scenic Route Stamps. I love classic red for Christmas, here I combined it with orange and grey.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Scenic Route Very Merry Winter Themed Holiday Card by Vanessa Menhorn

First, I stamped the houses and trees, colored the images with Copics and die-cut everything with the matching dies. Then I trimmed the borders and layered them from the bottom to the top of my card.

After I had added glitter to the roofs and the trees, I trimmed two strips from red patterned paper from the Very Merry 6x6 Paper and adhered them. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment from Feeling Frosty onto a strip of black cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it.

These stamps are incredibly versatile, and such fun! Have a wonderful day everybody!

------------------------------------------------------

Hello everyone, Anja here today showcasing the Scenic Route Stamps. The row of houses is my favorite stamp in this set and I created a simple monochromatic card.

I stamped the image and the sentiment from the Foxy Christmas set in VersaMark Ink onto a 4 1/8" x 7" piece of aquamarine cardstock. I heat embossed both with white embossing powder.

For a change, I did some coloring with Prismacolor pencils. I added a tiny pink die-cut heart as a little pop of color.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Until next time!

Christmas Garland Frame Cards with Franci and Ana

Hello there! Franci here with you today with a Christmas card showcasing the new Christmas Garland Frame Die set!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Christmas Garland Frame Dies Playful Polar Bears Santa Claus Lane Woodland Border Dies Merry Christmas Card by Franci Vignoli

Also, I had to bring back one of my fave cuties ever for this card: this little bear from the Playful Polar Bear set! First of all I inked some white cardstock with Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint Distress Inks, then I die cut my intricate frame out of it and set it aside. I created a coordinated cardbase out of white cardstock and I also cut out 2 matching panel. I die cut a stitched hill out of the first using the Woodland Borders set and colored the second one by sponging Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch Distress Inks. I let it dry completely then added some white and sparkle watercolor splatters.

I stamped, colored and die cut all the images from these sets: Playful Polar Bears coordinated diesSanta Claus Lane + coordinated diesHogs and kisses + coordinated dies. I added some details with a white gel pen, then assembled the scene and glued everything down with a combo of liquid glue and foam adhesive. Finally I added some of the new Blue Snowflake Confetti here and there as embellishments.

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

Hello crafties! It’s Ana here with a blue glittery Christmas card featuring Christmas Garland Frame Die from the new holiday release!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Christmas Garland Frame Dies Merry Christmas Card by Ana Anderson

For this card I had glitter garland with lots of sparkle and shine in mind! I started with die cutting a piece of light blue glitter cardstock with garland frame and Merry Christmas dies. I cut the frame twice and sentiments 3 times out of light blue cardstock and adhered all the layers of each die cut together, offsetting the layers of the sentiment to create the shadow. Next, I die cut the berries out of navy and white cardstock and layered them, then cut holly leaves (from Basic Mini Shape dies set) out of white cardstock.

For the background, I inked Iced Spruce, Stormy Sky and Broken China distress ink, leaving the center light. Once the panel was dry I white heat embossed a few snowflakes (from Alpaca Holiday stamps). I adhered all the die cuts to the background and to finish off the card, added glossy accents to the berries.

I just love how this garland frame card turned out! Garland Frame die set is so gorgeous and versatile – just imagine the possibilities! Thank you so much for stopping by today! Until next week – Happy Crafting!

Feeling Frosty Cards with Juliana and Angelica

Hello Sunny Studio Friends! It's Juliana here and today I'm sharing an interactive shaker card I created using the Feeling Frosty Stamp Set.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Feeling Frosty Layered Snowflake Frame Die Woodland Borders Winter Themed Card by Juliana Michaels

To get started, I stamped and colored several of the snow people from the Feeling Frosty Stamp Set. I then die cut them using the Feeling Frosty coordinating dies. I always end up coloring and stamping more images than I end up using on my cards! Can anyone relate to that? I then just sit them to the side and save them for future projects.

Now to create the shaker part of the card. Here, I took the Layered Snowflake Frame Die and used the inner die to cut a piece of white cardstock. This die is super intricate and I highly recommend using a metal shim to get a clean cut with your manual die cutting machine. After I had the frame die cut, I trimmed the outer edges to create a square. I then used this as the frame for the shaker part of the card. Turning the frame over, I adhered a piece of acetate to the back side and then added double sided adhesive foam strips to the edge of the frame to create the box. I filled this with a mix of clear seed beads and the adorable Blue Snowflake Confetti.

To complete the shaker box, I cut a piece of blue patterned paper from the Very Merry 6x6 Paper Pad the just smaller than the shaker frame. This will be the back of the shaker piece. I then die cut some snowy hills from white cardstock using the Woodland Borders Die. I adhered this at the bottom of the piece of blue paper and then added the cute snow people from the Frosty Friends to complete the scene. The box was then completed by adhering this piece to the backside of the shaker box.

Once the shaker box was complete, I adhered it to a strip of blue paper from the Very Merry 6x6 Paper Pad and then mounted this onto a piece of red paper from the same paper pad.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed learning how I created this shaker card using the Feeling Frosty Stamp Set.

Hi friends, Angelica here with winter card featuring the adorable Feeling Frosty stamp set.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Feeling Frosty Frilly Frame Dies Winter Themed Card by Angelica Conrad

I used the Frilly Frames Retro Petals stitched rectangle to die-cut white card stock. I ripped masking paper into the shape of a small hill, and attached it to the panel. I blended Chipped Sapphire, Stormy Sky, and Tumbled Glass Distress oxide inks over the mask to make the sky. After the inks were dry, I stamped and white heat-embossed snowflakes from the stamp set. I used my MISTI to line the sentiment up evenly, and stamped it with black ink. I added a heavy coat of Ranger Multi Media Matte onto the hill, and poured a generous amount of chunky glitter over the adhesive. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Feeling Frosty Frilly Frame Dies Winter Themed Card by Angelica Conrad

While the adhesive was drying, I stamped and colored the snowmen. I used Copic Markers to color them, shading the snowmen with the following colors: B00, BV00, BV000, Colorless Blender. After I die-cut them with the coordinating dies, I attached them to the panel with thin foam squares. I added the panel to a card base with foam adhesive to finish the card.

Giving these two frosty friends a clean and simple background really lets them shine, and adding small touches like the glitter snow gives the card fun texture. I hope I have help inspired new ideas for this stamp set. Thanks so much for stopping by!
