Bear Hugs Card with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and I hope you are enjoying a wonderful holiday season! Today, I created a sweet winter forest scene with two cuties from the Bear Hugs stamp and die set.

To start, I cut a panel of pink dotted paper (Polka-dot-Parade) with the beautiful Quilted Hearts Portrait die. Next, I used one of the Stitched Circles Small set to create the space for my focal point. I needed two more of these circles from white card stock. One was turned into a snowbank, the other will be my background. I used Distress Oxide Faded Jeans and a cloud stencil from my stash to ink blend a winter sky.

Then I put this panel aside to select two cute bears and some trees from the Bear Hugs stamp set. To go for that winter vibe, I went with cool blues, grey and pink Copic markers. As usual, I added white highlights with a gel pen.

With all the elements ready, I could start to assemble the card. I made a white card base and added the pink Quilted Hearts Portrait panel with liquid glue. Next, I inlayed the circle with the clouds and mounted the snowbank. Lastly, I adhered the two cute bears and the trees onto the background circle.

My sentiment was taken from the Words Of Gratitude set and stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink on a white banner (Brilliant Banner 4). As embellishment, I sprinkled a few Sky Blue Jewels in the sky.

Thank you for joining me and a very Merry Christmas!

Scenic Route Card with Amanda

Hey crafty friends!  It’s Amanda here, and we are officially TWO days away from Christmas. How did that happen?! Today I’m sharing a shaker card I created with a fun, snowy winter scene.

I started by trimming a piece of white cardstock to 4” x 5.25”. For the sky, I ink blended Catherine Pooler’s Clay Mask and Polished inks, keeping the lighter color in the center and blending darker toward the edges for a soft glow effect. Next, I trimmed another piece of white cardstock to 4” x 5.25” and stamped the Scenic Route Stamps background scene with black ink. Using the coordinating die set, I die cut the hills and trees, then colored them in with Copic markers. I used YG shades for the grass and G shades for the trees.

I then stamped images from the Snowmen in Sweaters and Penguin Party stamp sets and colored those with Copics as well. Once everything was colored, I trimmed the images out using the coordinating dies. For the sentiment, I stamped the words onto black cardstock using my WOW embossing pad, sprinkled on white embossing powder, and heat set it until smooth and shiny. I trimmed the sentiments into strips and added banner ends with my scissors.

Now it was time to bring the scene together! I glued the hilly background onto the sky panel, then used 3D foam squares and strips to pop up the sentiments and stamped images. To add snow, I grabbed a dotting tool with a small ball tip and dotted white acrylic paint across the scene for that snowy finishing touch.

While the paint dried, I prepped my shaker elements using small white balls, Birthday Cake Dot Sprinkles, and a full-panel shaker pouch. I added double-sided tape around the edges of the pouch, poured in my shaker elements, placed the card panel on top, and sealed it all up. Finally, I used glue to attach the shaker panel to an A2 card base .. and just like that, this festive shaker card was complete!

I love how this card came together with all the little details and movement! It’s such a fun way to bring a winter scene to life. Shaker cards always feel extra magical this time of year, and this one was such a joy to create. Thanks so much for crafting along with me, and I hope you’re soaking up these last sweet moments before Christmas!

Bighearted Bears Love-Themed Valentine's Day Cards with Mendi

Hello there! This is Mendi popping in to share some love-themed Valentine's Day cards featuring our adorable Bighearted Bears Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Bighearted Bears Stamps, I lined up four of the panda bears holding Valentines and gifts. As a backdrop, I inked up a cardstock panel using the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils with Candied Apple Distress ink. I layered that with an elongated Rounded Rectangle Mat Die, which I ran through my die-cutting machine twice so that I could have it bleed off the top of my card. I cut our Stitched Heart 2 Dies from masking material to use as a stencil to ink a heart onto my background with Worn Lipstick and Candied Apple Distress ink. I heat-embossed the word "love" onto the heart's center using the Love & Light Stamps and strung the banners from the Panda Party Stamps. I also heat-embossed a punny greeting on a shortened black Slimline Pennant Die by mixing words from the Bighearted Bears and Panda Party Stamps. I love how it all came together with the red, black, & white color scheme!

For my second card today, I used the Bighearted Bears Stamps to create a town scene with the pandas riding a bike, a mailbox, and the panda holding a balloon bouquet. For my scene's backdrop, I used the three buildings from the City Streets Stamps and the tree from the Happy Home Stamps. I masked off each building with hand-cut masks to ink my sky with Broken China Distress ink and then inked the pavement with Black Soot Distress ink. Lastly, I heat-embossed a punny sentiment from the Bighearted Bears set in the bottom, right corner.

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. Also, since this is my last post before Christmas, I wanted to wish you a very merry Christmas with your family and friends. May your day be cozy, relaxing, and surrounded by those you love.❤️

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 the adorable images from the Holiday Hugs, Roly Poly Penguins and the beautiful Classy Christmas sets. 

I stamped the images from the Holiday Hugs Stamp, Roly Poly Penguins Stamp and Classy Christmas Stamp on a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Holiday Hugs Dies, Roly Poly Penguins Dies and Classy Christmas Dies to die cut them out. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T4/5/7, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R000/20
Bear: W00/0/1, W1/5/7, R000/20
Hats: R14/24/29, C00/0/1
Scarf: R20/22/24, R00/20/22, C0/1, YG01/03
Earmuffs: YG01/03, C1/3
Poinsettias: R20/22/24/29, Y06

For the background, I used the largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies to die cut a piece of white cardstock. I lightly ink blended some Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink onto the center. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the "Holiday Hugs" sentiment from the Holiday Hugs stamp set onto a piece of white cardstock with Versafine Satin Red ink and used the Holiday Hugs Dies to die cut it out. 

I adhered the sentiment, bear and back two penguins onto the inked panel with liquid glue. The center penguin and flowers were adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a piece of pink cardstock before it was adhered to a white A2 card base.
