Merry Mice Mouse Christmas Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some Christmas cards featuring our Merry Mice Stamps.

Sunny Studio Mouse Christmas Cards using Merry Mice Clear Stamps, Fireplace Metal Craft Dies & Buffalo Plaid Embossing Folder

For my first card today, I paired the mouse with cheese and mouse in the stocking images from the Merry Mice Stamps with our Fireplace Shaped Dies. This die set comes with all the pieces for stockings, wood logs, and flames, which I often like to use with this set, but this time I chose to simplify my card design to make it easier for mass production. To decorate my fireplace, I used Lawn Fawn's Brick Stencil with Lost Shadow Distress ink. I thought it would be fun to add a festive flair with some Tim Holtz Pine Twine from my stash, so I popped the stockings up with foam tape to compensate for the thickness of the garland. I also stamped the words "Mom," "Dad," and "Sister" on the cuffs of the stockings using the Outback Critter Stamps.

My second card featuring the Merry Mice Stamps utilizes the cheese trees, a snowman mouse, two mice, and their winter gear. For the base of my card, I trimmed a colorful, diagonally striped print from the All is Bright Paper pack and then layered it with a lengthened Rounded Rectangle Mat Die cut from white cardstock. I elongated the rectangle by trimming off the bottom and adding a sentiment pennant strip to fill the gap using a die from the Slimline Pennant Dies set. I also added the colorful strand of hanging lights from the Scenic Route Stamps and a snowy hillside with the Slimline Nature Border Dies. This card utilized many scraps and leftover elements on my desk, so seeing it all fall together so easily was fun. I love it when that happens!

My last card today started with the red gingham background I created when playing around and experimenting with our Buffalo Plaid Embossing Folder one afternoon. I wanted to create a card that allowed as much of the background as possible to show through, so I framed my focal point images by stacking the Stitched Circle Small Dies, Scalloped Circle Mat 3 Dies, and Scalloped Circle Mat 1 Dies (listed from top to bottom). For the stars of the show, I grouped the mouse in the mug from the Merry Mice Stamps, the mug from the Merry Mocha Stamps, the peppermints from the Candy Shoppe Stamps, and the candy cane from the Roly Poly Penguins Stamps. Lastly, I heat-embossed my punny greeting from the Merry Mice set onto a green banner cut using the Brilliant Banner 2 Dies.

Here's a look at how I trimmed masking sheets to isolate each row of the Buffalo Plaid Embossing Folder and inked them row by row with Candied Apple distress ink using the PinkFresh Studio Blending Brushes. I can't believe we've had these embossing folders for years, but it took me this long to discover this new way to use them. I will use this technique more in the future, as it didn't take too long, but I love the results!

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. ðŸ’›

Santa Claus Lane Tags with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with a trio of Christmas tags I made with a mix & match of images from different sets. I really like making tags all year round, and the last ones go back to the 4th of July, so it was extra fun to put these together after all this time.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Santa Claus Lane Holiday Christmas Tags by Marine Simon (featuring Build-A-Greetings Holidays, Scalloped Tag Square Dies, North Pole)

I started off by cutting three tag panels using the largest Scalloped Tag Square die and three different pattern papers from the Polka Dot Parade paper pack. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters on the three panels, and then did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles. I cut three more tag panels out of white cardstock, and attached a polka dot panel to a white panel using liquid glue.

Next I stamped my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them all with the coordinating dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers in a non-traditional holiday color palette. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Cozy Christmas - Christmas trees, presents • Reindeer Games - Santa • North Pole - nice list, Santa • Santa Claus Lane - presents, sack, Santa • Snowmen In Sweaters - snowflakes.

Once the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to my images using a white gel pen, added a dot of glossy accents to each light in the Christmas trees to make them shine, and then attached my images on each tag using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, creating three super cute little scenes.

I used the Build A Greeting Holidays stamp set to stamp my sentiments: "Happy Holidays", "Merry Christmas" and "Season's Greetings". I added silver twine through the hole at the top of each tag, and then glued sparkling double bows to finish them nicely.

And that's it! I hope that you like those three lovely non-traditional holiday tags. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Snow One Like You Card with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and today we are creating a sweet holiday card with the adorable Snow One Like You stamp and die set. I love that the cute girl and her snowman!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Snow One Like You Winter Themed Holiday Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Scenic Route, Frilly Frames Chevron Dies, Inside Greetings Holidays)

I colored this image with my Copics and added white highlights with a gel pen. Next, I pulled a red card base from my stash and cut a white panel with the outer die of the Frilly Frames Chevron set. We will use this piece to build the entire background of this scene card.

To start, I stamped the tree scene from Scenic Route directly on to this panel and used my Copics again for the coloring. To mimic the snow on the trees I added a bunch of fine lines with my white gel pen. I repeated this step on a separate piece of white card stock, but this time I only focused on the lower three pines. I used my scissors to fussy cut these trees, traced the outline with a black marker and glued them to the left of the panel filling in that part of the scene.

I wanted a dramatic sky, which I created with a cloud stencil from my stash and a combo of Saltwater Taffy and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks. After mounting the girl and her snowman to the scene, I added lots of white snowflakes with a white paint marker.

My sentiment was pulled from the Inside Greetings Holiday set and stamped on a white banner with Versafine Onyx Black ink. To add more interest to the sky I added lots of little white stars (Snowflake Circle Frame die).

And that finishes my card, I hope you are having fun creating your holiday projects! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
