Hogs & Kisses Cards with Ana and Franci

Hello friends! Ana here today with a super cute card featuring super adorable Hogs & Kisses stamps and coordinating dies!

I started with stamping, coloring and die cutting piggy images, then stamped the sentiments in the speech bubble and die cut it out. Next, I stamped, die cut and colored the large Christmas tree (from Seasonal Trees stamps) and few presents, ornaments and candy canes (from Santa Claus Lane stamps).

For the background I inked Spiced Marmalade and Worn Lipstick Distress inks, then spritzed the panel with water. I die cut snowy hills with Woodland Border Dies and inked them lightly with the same Distress ink colors. I adhered the hills to the background, then added the images and the sentiment speech bubble.

I backed the panel with a teal panel, added white scalloped panel (which I die cut with Frilly Frames Polka Dot dies), then added another teal layering panel. I adhered the finished scene to the card base and added highlights with white gel pen!

Aren’t these holiday piglets just too cute for words? I just adore their sweet, happy faces! Thank you so much for stopping by today friends! I’ll see you next week!

Hello there! Franci here with you today with a cute Holiday Hogs & Kisses card! 

Just look at these happy little festive piggies!! They make me giggle soo soo much! Ha! First of all I cut out a piece of this snowy day landscape background paper included in the new Very Merry 6x6 paper and cut out a coordinated card base out of white cardstock. I kept this card a little taller and slimmer to fit my stack of piggies at its best.

I stamped, colored and die cut all the images from these sets: Hogs & Kisses + coordinated dies, Santa Claus Lane + coordinated dies, Merry Mice + coordinated dies. Then I added some foiled details onto the front of my card, just 2 little stripes at the sides to create a pretty frame for my little scene, glued down my main panel and added all the images with foam tape. I stamped my sentiment on the snow at the bottom and added some white Nuvo Drops embellishments to the scene.

Finally I added some more details to all the images with a white gel pen and my Wink of Stella clear brush. Hope you like my card, thank you so much for stopping by today!

Sweet Treat Focused Cards with Angelica and Juliana

Hi friends! Angelica here, with a fun project using the Sweet Treat Bag Dies. 

I used stamps from the Season's Greetings stamp set to decorate two pieces of kraft card stock. Once I finished stamping, I used the Sweet Treat Bag die to die-cut both pieces. I watched this video from Sunny Studio Stamps to help me assemble the bag.

I decorated the flap top with Holiday Cheer and Classic Gingham pattern papers, die-cutting them with the Sweater Vest Dies. I glued the die cuts onto a white die-cut flap, then attached the flap to the bag. I used small Basic Grey magnets to close the bag.

I love how easy this bag was to put together. I'll be making a lot more of these soon for the upcoming Christmas season. That's all that I have for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Sunny Studio Friends! It's Juliana here and today I've created a Christmas gift bag using the Sweet Treat Bag Dies. I combined it with some other dies and an embossing folder to create a sweet little rustic woodland style.

I began by taking the Sweet Treat Bag Dies and cutting the main shape twice from kraft cardstock. I then used the Woodgrain Embossing Folder to emboss each piece of the bag. I then assembled the bag following the instructions in this video.

Next, I took the Scalloped Tag Square Dies and cut the larger tag from white cardstock. I then took Therm O Web Purple Tape and placed it along the stitched lines to mask off the edges of the tag. I then  used Distress Oxide Inks to create a snowy sky. I then splattered it with watered down white acrylic paint to give the look of snowflakes.

To create the rustic winter scene, I used the Rustic Winter Dies and Woodland Border Dies. I cut the deer from brown cardstock and the trees from green. I then inked the edges to add a little interest. I also die cut a piece of white cardstock using the border dies to create a snowy hill for the deer. Once all the pieces were created, I adhered them to the tag. I then finished it off with a red bow and added matching handles to the bag.

Since this is a gift bag, I used the tiny tag die that comes with the Sweet Treat Bag Dies to create a to/from tag for the bag. I stamped the to and from using the Season's Greetings Stamp Set.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed learning how I created this rustic woodland style Christmas gift bag using the Sweet Treat Bag Dies.

Snowflake Frame Dies Focused Cards with Leanne and Eloise

Hello crafty friends, Leanne here! I been inspired by some recent early winter weather here in my area. We had our first snow of the season. So I decided to play around with dies from the Snowflake Circle Frame and Layered Snowflake Frame to create the feeling of a winter party on a card. 

I wanted to make a unique background. I used two shades of green (CP Mint To Be & Garden Party ink) to create a splotchy watercolor look. I simply smooshed the ink pads onto a craft mat, spritzed with water, and then pressed a panel of Bristol Smooth card stock into the wet ink.  I dried the panel and repeated the process a few times. I then splattered thinned white paint over the entire panel. 

I made my own glitter card stock to die cut the snowflakes out of. I blended Tattered Rose and Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink onto a panel of card stock. I then applied a thin coat of Nuvo Moonstone Glitter Paste over the inked panel. Once dry, I die cut the snowflakes from the area of the panel with the shade of pink I wanted.

I trimmed the background panel slightly smaller than A2 size and adhered to a white card base. I added the snowflakes cascading down towards the left side. I also added some white pearls as a little extra embellishment. Next I adhered the greeting towards the lower right corner. I die cut the Winter Wishes greeting from white and green glitter card stock and then layered the two slightly offset. Lastly I tied white and silver twine around the folded side of the card.

Hi friends, Eloise here and today I’m using the Layered Snowflake Frame Die to create a Christmas Card. I also pulled in Feeling Frosty for some images and Santa Claus Lane for a sentiment.

I started off with stamping and colouring my images from Feeling Frosty and cutting them out. I then took two pieces of watercolour cardstock, cut them down to 4 1/4” to 4 1/4” and ink blended some blue Distress Inks on the bottom of each of them, fading to white. I then cut the Layered Snowflake Frame Die from one of them.

(Copic Markers Used: BG70, BG72, BG75, BG78 / W00, W0 / W1, W5 / 0 / B000, B00 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / YG61, YG63, YG67, G28 / V91, V93, V95, V97 / E53, E55, E57 / R000, R00)

I then added foam tape to the back of the snowflake frame and also my images. I adhered the snowflake frame on top of the other distress inked piece and then adhered my images on top. For my sentiment I used the ‘Have A Magical Christmas’ sentiment from Santa Claus Lane onto a strip of black cardstock. Tied some twine to the side of it and adhered it onto my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I’ll see you all next week.

25 Days of Christmas Tags

Hello and welcome to day 7 of Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags!  We're so excited to be playing along today showcasing our take on holiday tags using our line of products!

Tag Set #1:  For my first set of tags today I used our Build-A-Tag #1 dies which I cut from a red heart print from our Very Merry Paper pack and a candy cane stripe from our Holiday Cheer Paper pack.  I decorated the one of the left with our Santa Claus Lane Stamps and a banner from our Little Angels Stamps.  For the Snowman I turned to our Feeling Frosty Stamps and the little companion snowflake from our Warm & Cozy Dies.

Tag Set #2:  For my next set of tags I used the new mini scalloped die from our 2-piece stitched Scalloped Tag Circle Dies set which I cut from white cardstock.  I then punch out 1.5" circle from various papers from our Holiday Cheer Paper pack and stamped with the "to" and "from" using our Season's Greetings Stamps.  To embellish my tags I used the companion garland sprigs from that same Season's Greetings stamp set and then topped them with a layered bow from our Holiday Style Stamps.

Tag Set #3: For my last tag set of the day I used the another mini tag from our new set of Scalloped Square Tag Dies.  I started by cutting two of each from tone-on-tone prints from our Very Merry Paper pack which I then adhered together so that I could embellish one side and add my "to" and "from" on the reverse side with our Season's Greetings Stamps.  I then die-cut fun prints from that same Very Merry Paper pack using our coordinating Fancy Frames Square dies which were designed to perfectly coordinate with our new tag sets and layered them over the base of my tags.  For my little critters I colored mouse images from our new Merry Mice stamps and used a stitched snowy hillside from our Woodland Border dies.

Tag Set #4:  For this adorable winter tag set Angelica cut sets of mittens and hats to match using our Warm & Cozy dies, together with our stitched Scalloped Square Tag Dies and a red gingham print from our Holiday Cheer Paper pack.
