I am starting this project by creating a white panel using the Dotted Diamond Landscape die and adhering this to my card base. I love the fine detail this die gives! Next, I die cut all the pieces for the cute gingerbread house and colored them with my Distress Oxides (Salvaged Patina, Saltwater Taffy and Abandoned Coral) and blending brushes.

The base layer for the house was made from white card stock, this base makes it easy to assemble the house. The fun part is (of course!) the decorating with all the yummy sweets! The cute couple from the Christmas Cookies stamp set are colored in matching Copic marker tones. I added them in from of their little house, it’s just too cute!!

For my sentiment, I selected the ‘Happy Holidays’ from Reindeer Games and stamped it on a banner with Versafine Onyx Black inkA few stars from the Snowflake Circle Frame Die were scattered around the house as additional decorations.

I hope this card inspires you to create your own sweet gingerbread house! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Pristine Poinsettia Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, back again today with more poinsettias and those three bright and cheerful mini cards using the Pristine Poinsettia die set. Love this set so much! Last year I used that same set to make a cold and frosty holiday card, and this time I went for more traditional colors.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Pristine Poinsettia Christmas Cards by Marine Simon (featuring Mini Mat & Tag Dies, Winter Greenery Dies, Spring Greenery Dies, Dotted Diamond Dies)

I started off by creating and assembling three almost identical card bases following the same process:

1. Cut three Stitched Rectangles out of white cardstock

2. Cut three All Is Bright panels using Mini Mat & Tag 1 + Mini Mat & Tag 2 + Mini Mat & Tag 4 dies

3. Cut two Dotted Diamond Landscape panels, and cut three small Stitched Rectangles out of those two panels. Color those three textured panels using spun sugar and worn lipstick distress inks. Add splatters using festive berries mixed water, and white ink mixed with water

4. Layer and attach the panels on top of each other, and then on card bases

Next I cut all the flower, greenery and berry pieces using dies from Pristine PoinsettiaWinter Greenery and Spring Greenery. I cut the flower elements out of three different shades of red cardstock, and cut the greenery elements out of brown, aqua, green, white, vellum and gold cardstock.

I first started by layering and attaching the Pristine Poinsettia pieces together using liquid glue. Next I stuck a flower on each card base, and then added greenery around each one of them. I added berries here and there, and glued a clear droplet on each to bring more shine and dimension.

The last step was to create three greetings, and I used the "Merry Christmas" sentiment from Bells & Baubles that I white heat embossed on black cardstock, cut using the matching dies, and attached on the opposite corner of each poinsettia using 2mm foam squares. And finally I added highlights and details at some places using a white gel pen.

And that's it! As always I had a lot of fun making those mini cards, I love how bright and beautiful they turned out, and I hope that you like them. Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Love & Light Card with Gladys

Hi crafty friends, Gladys here! I'm excited to be back on the blog today to share a Hanukkah card using the beautiful stamp set called Love and Light!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Love & Light Hanukkah Card by Gladys Marcelino

First, I stamped the images from Love and Light with alcohol friendly ink. Then I colored them with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Next, I used the largest square die from the Fancy Frames Square dies collection out of Bristol Smooth card stock. I ink blended the inner panel with tumbled glass, salty ocean, and prized ribbon distress oxide inks. I started from the center of the panel with the lightest color and work my way out with the medium and darker colors to add depth. For more interest I splattered flecks of white and gold paint from Gansai Tambi using a small paint brush. I used the square die again to cut from dark blue cardstock. Once the background panel was dry I adhered it onto a white card base.

To assemble the card I centered the candles on the panel and adhered it with glue. I popped all the leaves and arranged them in each of the corners. Then I stamped the “Happy Hunukkah” sentiment from the set and used the coordinating die to cut it out. I mounted it on the top center of the panel. To balance the card I added more images below the candles.  

That is all for me today I'll be back for more inspiration. Have a wonderful day!

Winter Greenery Card with Bobbi

Hello friends, Bobbi here. I wanted to share a card with you today that features a new foliage die set by Sunny Studio Stamps. I am totally in love with the Winter Greenery dies. I feel like I’m reaching for this set a lot lately. The greens are the perfect size to embellish my fall and winter tags and cards. My favorite die in the set is this sweet rounded leaf shaped stem. It is so pretty and dainty and looks great with anything. I used just two types of stems from this set, however, there are four different shapes and coordinating berry dies, too!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Winter Greenery Christmas Card by Bobbi Lemanski

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I started with a piece of watercolor paper that I had sitting in my scrap bin. The colors were a minty green and a soft peach. I splattered on a bit of gold metallic paint and added a few splatters of a peachy orange, too. I attached the piece to the white card front and added strips of gold metallic cardstock below the watercolor strip for a finished edge.

Next, I cut the greenery from white cardstock and glued it to the top of the watercolor strip. I kept them white to pop off the background. I hid the stems’ edges with more strips of metallic cardstock. My strips are around 1/8″ thick and I added two above and two below. I added some die cut berries that I colored using Copic Markers in R14, R32 and R20. I also added pearl gem stickers in ivory and a peach to the colored strip. Finally, I stamped the sentiment, “noel” from the Classy Christmas stamp set using gold metallic ink right under the strips.

Thanks for stopping by today. If you want to see more ideas and inspiration from me, subscribe to my blog, BobbiHartDesign.com. I’ll send you updates on new posts! You can also find me on Instagram as @BobbiHartDesign and on Facebook as BobbiHartDesign.
