Penguin Pals & Let's Chill Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, back with this new shaker card featuring the super cute Penguin Pals and adorable seals from Let's Chill. Love how those lovely winter critters match so perfectly.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Penguin Pals & Let's Chill Winter Themed Holiday Shaker Card by Marine Simon (featuring Comic Strip Everyday Dies)

I started off by creating the shaker panel. I cut the frame out of a blue polka dot paper from the Polka Dot Parade paper pack using the main Comic Strip Everyday die, attached it to an acetate panel using liquid glue, and added foam strips at the back of the frame all along the four edges and behind the middle lines as well. Next I poured White Snowflake confetti and chunky glitter inside each window, splattered white ink on a light blue gingham 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel from the Gingham Pastels paper pack, and once dry, I attached this light blue panel to the foam strips to totally close my shaker panel.

I cut another Comic Strip Everyday panel out of white cardstock, kept the inside pieces and cut slim pieces out of them to make snow borders. I mixed a bit of liquid stardust with water, added sparkling splatters to each snow border and then attached them all to my shaker panel using liquid glue. And finally I stuck my panel to a white card base using liquid glue as well.

Next I stamped the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, cut them all using the matching dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Let's Chill - seals • Penguin Pals - penguins • Snowmen In Sweaters - trees, snowflakes.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, white blizzard nuvo drops to the snow on the trees, I stamped "Sending you winter hugs" from Bear Hugs directly on the acetate using black stazon ink, which is an ink that doesn't smear on acetate or vellum, and finally attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

And that's it! Once again, I hope that this card has inspired you to mix and match your stamp sets to create super cute scenes. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Holiday Hugs Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and for this sweet holiday card I am featuring one of my all time favorites, the Holiday Hugs stamp and die set! I love that the cute bear can hold several accessories for any occasion.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Holiday Hugs Winter Themed Christmas Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Frilly Frame Dies, Rounded Rectangle Dies, Holiday Greetings)

I grabbed a white card base from my stash and started to create a border using a combination of the Frilly Frames Stripes die (outer die) and a smaller Rounded Rectangle Window die. This gives you a lovely scalloped border, wide enough to frame the cute bear and leave some room for a large sentiment.

Next, I cut a rectangle from a teal polka dot paper (Dots & Stripes Pastels) with my scissors. It doesn’t have to be precise since the edges get covered with the frame. I stamped my cute bear and a Christmas stocking (Holiday Hugs stamp). All the coloring was done with my Copics in a festive red and green combo. While I had my Misti out, I also created the sentiment in a red ink from my stash (Holiday Greetings).

To assemble the card I glued the pattern paper to the back of the frame and adhered this piece to the card base with liquid glue. Next, I added the bear with foam tape and tucked the stocking in his little paws. The sentiment was turned into a chipboard piece by adding two layers of white to the back of the red one.

For adding snowflakes to my Christmas cards, I love using the Snowflake Circle Frame to create a bunch of them at once! Each snowflake was adorned with an Iridescent Clear Jewel in the center.

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Let's Chill Card with Amanda

Hey, crafty friends, and welcome back to the Sunny Studio Stamps blog! It’s Amanda here with you today sharing a cute little shaker card. I’ve been in a shaker-card mood lately, and I couldn’t resist making a fun, playful design featuring some of my favorite Sunny Studio holiday stamps!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Let's Chill Winter Themed Shaker Card by Amanda Fitterer (featuring Scenic Route, Stitched Arch Dies, Build-A-Greetings Holidays)

I started by creating my shaker portion of the card. To do this, I grabbed my All is Bright patterned paper and found the snowy teal paper. I trimmed this paper down to 4.25” x 5.5”. Using the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies, I ran it through my die cutting machine, centering the arch in the center of the panel.

Once I had my 2 pieces, I glued the background arch to an A2 card base and set it aside. I created my snowy hilly background with the Scenic Route Stamps. While I had all my stamp supplies out, I also stamped my 2 cuties from the Let’s Chill Stamps.  

I created my sentiment using the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamps. This set has hundreds of combinations to make holiday sentiments and I LOVE it! I stamped the red words with Catherine Pooler’s Rouge ink first. Then, I stamped the rest with black ink.

I colored the images in with Copic markers. Here are the marker colors I used:
Trees: YG17 YG23
Snow: BG10, BG11, BG13
Seals: W0, W2, W3, W5, R20

Once all the images were colored, I cut them out with their coordinating dies. To make the hilly scene look like it’s in the background, I glued it behind my arched frame. I also put my sentiment strip behind the frame and glued it in place.

Now, to create the shaker part! I placed some Snow White Jewels on my card base in the center of the arch. On my front panel (the frame), I used double sided tape to adhere my piece of acetate. Then, I added foam strips around the entire front panel and then adhered it to my card base. The final step was to add my cute seals with some 3D foam squares to make them pop! 

I had so much fun making this shaker card, and I hope it brings a smile to your face today! If you haven’t tried making a shaker in a while, consider this your little crafty nudge!

Santa Claus Lane & North Pole Christmas Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some Christmas cards featuring our Santa Claus Lane Stamps and North Pole Stamps.

Sunny Studio Holiday Christmas Cards using Santa Claus Lane, North Pole & Reindeer Games Clear Stamps & Cutting Craft Dies

My first card today, showcasing our Santa Claus Lane Stamps, is a rare creation for me because it utilizes only a single stamp set. I blended three large dots onto my card front using Salvaged Patina, Kitsh Flamingo, and Twisted Citron Distress inks to create a way to ground three mini scenes created with the images from the set. First, I have Santa holding a candy cane going down the chimney. My next scene has the other Santa from the set next to a decorated Christmas tree using the included ornaments, star, and gifts. My last scene along the bottom of my card has Santa standing next to the fireplace with four stockings hanging from the mantel. As a finishing touch, I stamped a greeting from the set in my card's top, right corner.

For my second card I used Mrs. Claus, Santa in a new pose, two elves, and the sign from our 
North Pole Stamps, with the reindeer from Reindeer Games Stamps, and the sleigh and bags of toys from the Santa Claus Lane Stamps. To set the mood of the North Pole in my background, I inked my sky using Salty Ocean Distress Ink, added snowflakes with a white gel pen, and then layered in the snowy fir trees and hills using the Scene Route Stamps. Lastly, I stamped the "Spreading Christmas Cheer" sentiment from the North Pole set onto a thin pennant strip from the Notebook Photo Corners Dies.

Roly Poly Penguins Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a fun Christmas card featuring these adorable Roly Poly Penguins who are using the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp set to wish you a Holly Jolly Christmas.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Roly Poly Penguins Christmas Card by Hanh Nguyen (featuring Basic Mini Shapes Dies, Brilliant Banner Dies, Frilly Frame Dies, Build-A-Greetings Holidays)

For the layout, I diecut a piece of white cardstock using the outer die of the Frilly Frames Polka Dot Dies. Next, I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and lightly ink blended it with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink. I trimmed the pink panel down to fit inside white scalloped panel. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Roly Poly Penguins Christmas Card by Hanh Nguyen (featuring Basic Mini Shapes Dies, Brilliant Banner Dies, Frilly Frame Dies, Build-A-Greetings Holidays)

I stamped the images from the Roly Poly Penguins Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Roly Poly Penguins Dies to diecut them out. I also used the Basic Mini Shape Dies and Basic Mini Shape Dies 3 to diecut some holly leaves and berries out of white and red cardstock. I colored the elements with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T4/5/7/9, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R00/20
Red: R24/29/39
Green: YG01/03/17
White: C00/1/3

Sunny Studio Stamps: Roly Poly Penguins Christmas Card by Hanh Nguyen (featuring Basic Mini Shapes Dies, Brilliant Banner Dies, Frilly Frame Dies, Build-A-Greetings Holidays)

For the sentiment, I diecut a banner out of red cardstock using the Brilliant Banner 3 Dies.  The Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp set from the latest release was used to create a sentiment. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark Watermark ink onto the red banner and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder.

I adhered the sentiment banner and all of the colored images onto the inked panel with foam tape. I added some snowflakes diecut from white cardstock using the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2 and the Basic Mini Shape Dies 5. Finally, I adhered the entire panel onto the front of a top folding white card base (4.25" x 5.5"). 

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. Be sure to check out the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.
