Let's Chill Card with Hanh: Black Friday Exclusive!

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a clean and simple card featuring the exclusive new Let's Chill Stamp and Dies, which aren't available for purchase this year but can be received as a FREE gift with a $50+ purchase for a limited time only! See below for promotion full details. The set includes the sweetest pair of seals!

I stamped the images from the Let's Chill Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Let's Chill Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Seals: C00/0/1/3, R00/30
Heart: R24/29

For the layout, I diecut a piece of white cardstock using the larger die from the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies set. I adhered the entire panel onto the front of a top folding white card base (4.25" x 5.5"). 

The Forest Trees Stencils and some Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks were used to create the background on a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I started by lightly ink blending the sky on the upper edge of the cardstock. I placed the first layer of the stencil and very lightly ink blended the Tumbled Glass with a blending brush. Next, I placed the second layer of the stencil and ink blended again with the Tumbled Glass but with a slightly heavier hand. Finally, I placed the third stencil and lightly ink blended with the Salty Ocean ink.

Once the ink was dry, I diecut the panel with the larger die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies set. I used the same die to diecut a white panel out of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. One of the slope dies from the Slimline Nature Borders Dies was used to diecut the white panel in half. I used the colored images to layout my scene and decide on the placement of one of the sentiments from the set. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the white half panel with the same Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered the half panel onto the inked panel before adhering the entire panel to the scalloped edge panel and card base.

I adhered the colored images onto the card front with some foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. I finished the card with a few snowflakes diecut from white cardstock using the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2.

Let's Chill Cards with Mendi: Black Friday Exclusive!

Hello & welcome!  I'm excited to be kicking off the Sunny Studio Black Friday week of fun with several card ideas featuring our new little Let's Chill Stamps and Dies which aren't available for purchase this year but can be received as a free gift with a $50+ purchase starting today through Monday, December 2 (see below for full promotion details). 

Card No. 1: For my first card, I started by creating a patchwork background using the stitched strip die from our Ribbon & Lace Border Dies, cutting prints from our Joyful Holiday Paper, Striped Silly Paper, and Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper. I layered the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 Dies with the Stitched Oval Dies, which were cut from Gingham Pastels Paper to frame the seals from the Lets Chill Stamps. I stamped the sentiment from the new mini stamps onto one of the layering pieces from our Brilliant Banner 2 Dies, trimming the ends with our Fishtail Banner Dies. Finally, I added a sprinkle of snowflakes topped with Aquamarine Jewels. One of these snowflakes is a free gift with purchase right now, while the other two can be found in our Basic Mini Shape 2 Dies and Basic Mini Shape 5 Dies.

Card No. 2: For my next card of the day using the new Let's Chill Stamps, I paired the seals with the kids from our Toasty Hugs Stamps, the iceblock and igloo from our Winter Scenes Stamps, and the fish from our Penguin Pals Stamps. To create my snow drifts and the pond, I used the stitched slope die from our Slimline Nature Border Dies set.

It's difficult to tell in this photo, but I slipped a piece of pale blue vellum over the fish to make it look like they are swimming under the water. With this in mind, I added a thin strip of striped paper from our Subtle Grey Tones Paper pack to make it easier to hide my adhesive above and below with no visible glue lines. I finished my scene by stamping the mini snowflakes from Let's Chill and the mini hearts from Toasty Hugs in the sky and added a little pennant with my heat embossed greeting using our Stitched Rectangle Dies and a lavender print from our Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper pack.

Card No. 3: For my last card today, using the Let's Chill Stamps, I started by embossing a piece of white cardstock using our Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Dies. Then, using a stencil spray, I inked the piece with a gingham print using our Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils and Picked Raspberry Distress ink. To frame my seal couple, I cut rectangular mats from white and aqua cardstock in two sizes using our Stitched Rectangle Dies and our Mini Mat & Tag 3 Dies. I added the small snowdrift behind them using our Slimline Nature Border Dies and inking the sky with Peacock Feathers Distress ink. Lastly, I stamped a greeting from our Penguin Party Stamps and added hearts from our Toasty Hugs Stamps.

Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope you will continue checking back each day this week, as the team will share their adorable ideas with this set! ❤

Snowmen in Sweaters Card with Nicky

Well hello there this is Nicky with you again today and I've got a lovely wintery card to share with you, featuring Snowmen In Sweaters. Please read on for all the details.

I started by die cutting the scalloped card base using the Slimline Scalloped Frame Die. I then used my paper trimmer to create a perfect sized panel to fit within the scalloped edge. I ink blended that panel using Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink and faded it away to nothing the lower down the width of the panel I got. I then stamped in some of the fir tree images from the Snowmen In Sweaters stamp set using Memento Ink in Fog.

I stamped the images from Snowmen In Sweaters together with the sentiment. I coloured the snowmen with the following Copic marker combinations:

Snowmen Bodies - BG10, BG70, C3, C1
Snowmen Noses - YR09, YR04
Snowmen Blushes - R22, R20, R00
Grey - W6, W5, W4, W3, W0
Brown - E77, E44, E43
Black - T9
Chestnut Brown - E18, E39, E37, E55
Golden Brown - YR27, YR24, YR23

I die cut each image with the coordinating Snowmen In Sweaters Die and applied them to the background panel. I highlighted a few points with a white gel pen and attached the whole panel to a card base. To finish things up I created a bit of a blizzard by dipping a stylus into Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White acrylic paint. I love this product as it gives you dimensional snow exactly where you want it, no dangerous spattering!!!

Hope you enjoyed my card today and feel inspired. See you back here next Friday, same place, same time with something new.

Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Die Focused Tags with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back on the blog with this trio of shaker tags showcasing multiple die sets, including the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-On that I used on its own to create three mini scenes in jars.

I started off by cutting all the pieces to build the backgrounds, and each background was built following the same steps:

1. Cut a Stitched Arch panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and divide it in half. On the lower part, blend some tumbled glass and broken china oxide inks using a hill stencil to create a snow border. And on the upper part, blend some broken china, uncharted mariner and chipped sapphire oxide inks to create a night sky.

2. Mix some tumbled glass oxide ink with water, and add splatters to the snow border using a slim brush. Splatter water droplets on the sky, and dry them using a paper towel. Mix some chipped sapphire oxide ink with water, and add splatters to the sky. Mix some copic opaque white ink with water, and add more splatters all over the Stitched Arch panel, and then do the same with liquid stardust. Cut a small hole at the top of this panel.

3. Cut another Stitched Arch panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, cut the bottom using a wavy die, and add the same inks and same textures as before to create a slim snow border.

4. Cut another Stitched Arch panel out of a Holiday Cheer snowflake pattern paper, and use a Ribbon & Lace Border die to cut the top of the panel. Add some uncharted mariner and chipped sapphire oxide inks on the edges, and add splatters of copic opaque white ink. Cut a small hole at the top of this panel.

I set all those elements aside to dry, and then cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock. I used distress inks to add shadows and more depth to each element, and also splattered white ink to give the illusion of snow or frost on all the pieces. Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Distinctive Door Holiday Add-On - trees, strings of lights, bows, piles of snow • Window Quad Circle - poinsettias • Rustic Winter - deer • Comic Strip Everyday - car, house.

I assembled a few of the pieces to build the car, house, poinsettias, etc. and then created the jars using Summer Jar Mug dies. And once again, each jar was built following the same steps:

1. Cut a jar frame out of holographic cardstock and cut the handle off.

2. Cut a whole jar out of acetate, and stick it at the back of the jar frame using liquid glue.

3. Still at the back of the frame, add foam strips all around the jar, following the curved edges.

4. Cut another whole jar out of vellum, and attach trees and a main focal object (house, car or deer) using liquid glue.

5. Sprinkle a few White Snowflake confetti on the die-cut pieces.

6. Peel the backing papers off the foam strips at the back of the jar frame, and attach the jar frame to the vellum frame to close the jar.

7. Cut another jar out of light brown woodgrain cardstock, trim the lid off and add some vintage photo distress ink on the edges to darken it, add copic opaque white ink splatters, and stick the lid to the holographic shaker jar.

8. Glue a pile of snow on one side of the jar using liquid glue.

9. Tie some golden thread around the lid.

Next I cut three different banners out of dark blue cardstock using Brilliant Banner 1, Brilliant Banner 2 and Brilliant Banner 3, and silver heat embossed a greeting on each banner. "Sweet" is from Christmas Cookie, "Have a... holiday season" is from Santa Claus Lane, and the whole thing reads "Have a sweet holiday season". To make those banners pop on the tag, I used the same dies to cut the banners a second time out of holographic cardstock, and I layered each banner with its twin using 1mm foam squares.

Next I finally assembled and attached everything on my Stitched Arch panels. I first glued the jar using liquid glue, and then the slim snowy hill using 2mm foam squares. I attached the straight string of lights at the back of the topper element using liquid glue, and then stuck the topper piece using 1mm foam squares. Attached a banner between the jar and string of lights, added a poinsettia and a Christmas tree, cut one last Stitched Arch panel out of white cardstock, cut a hole at the top of this panel, attached it at the back of the tag to finish it nicely, and cut a white eyelet using a Mini Mat & Tag 4 die that I glued at the top of the tag.

For the last details, I glued a white pearl in the middle of each poinsettia, a tiny confetti star at the top of each Christmas tree, applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the lights, tied a double bow that I attached below each eyelet, and finally added a handle using some slim silver ribbon from my stash.

And that's it! I went a little bit crazy to build those shaker tags, and they took me longer than the standard type of card I usually make, but sometimes I like to throw myself into more complicated projects! If you ever wanted to recreate those tags, my advice would be to die cut all the pieces first, then do all the inking, next the jar, and finally all the assembly. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!
