Guest Designer Spotlight: Snowmen In Sweaters Card by Tammy Stark

Hi friends, Tammy Stark here with you today! I'm so excited to be guest designing with Sunny Studio for the holidays! The holiday release is full of adorableness with something for everyone! I created a card using one of my favorite sets, Snowmen in Sweaters. I love everything snowmen, so this will be a set I reach for year after year!

To begin, I stamped Snowmen in Sweaters, colored with Copic markers, and die cut the images with the Snowmen in Sweaters Dies. I just love the big, bold sentiment, which was stamped in a vibrant red ink. I wanted to create a fun snow globe scene, so I used the largest die from the Stitched Arch Dies to create the snow globe base. I lightly inked it with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink, then attached the stamped images with foam tape. I splattered white acrylic paint onto the snow globe scene to create a super snowy effect. I then cut a thin rectangle from kraft paper to create the snow globe base.

Next, I cut a piece of pink cardstock, just slightly smaller than A2 size and embossed it with the Buffalo Plaid Straight Die. I just love the subtle effect and dimension the Buffalo Plaid die gives to the background! I then attached the pink embossed background to a white A2 base, then adhered the snow globe using foam tape for dimension.

Lastly, I added some white snowflakes, die cut using the Lacy Snowflake Dies and Snowflake Circle Frame Die to complete my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Happy Holidays to you all!!

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

Well hello there everyone, this is Nicky back with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I'm sharing a new card featuring the delightful Let's Chill stamp set. This stamp set is a free with purchase 'treat' during the Black Friday sale and I refer you to the Sunny website for full details. Please read on for all the details of how I made this card.

I started by creating all of the panels that you see. I created the largest one with the patterned Spring Sunburst 6 x 6 Cardstock using the Stitched Square Dies and then a smaller die from the same set for the smaller square and then I die cut two little scalloped squares using the Scalloped Square 1 Large Dies.

I took the 3 white die cuts, masked off the edges and ink blended using Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink. I spattered the ink blending with some white acrylic paint loosened with a drop or two of water and then I carefully removed the masks. Each panel was backed with foam tape and applied to the patterned panel which was then glued to a slightly larger white card base. Lots of dimension here and I'm not done yet!

I stamped the beautiful sea lions from Let's Chill with black ink and coloured them using Copic markers in W4, W3, W1, W0, W00 and blushed their cheeks using R22, R21, R20 and R00.

I added foam tape to the back of each sea lion and adhered them into position, I stamped the sentiment on a little strip and added that with foam tape and I used 5 Iridescent Star Jewels to embellish this chilled scene.

Many thanks for reading the blog today and I'll be back next Friday with something new to share with you all.

Let's Chill Tags with Marine: Black Friday Exclusive!

Hello crafty friends, happy Thanksgiving! Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this trio of lovely tags showcasing the adorable seals from Let's Chill. I love those little guys so much, they're super cute and very fun to color. I mixed them with the darling characters from Toasty Hugs, and picked a few additional images from other sets (listed down below) to create three wintery scenes.

I started off by cutting three Scalloped Square Tags out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I masked the four edges on each tag using washi tape, leaving the cute stitching details visible, and created a winter landscape on each tag using oxide inks. On the upper part, I applied uncharted mariner to make a night sky, and on the lower part, I applied tumbled glass, but just on the edges, to bring a little bit of color to this snow section. Next I added texture to each background. I splattered water on the sky and dried the panel with a paper towel. I mixed some uncharted mariner oxide ink with water, and added more splatters to the sky using a slim brush. Next I mixed some tumbled glass oxide ink with water, and added splatters to the snow section. I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters all over the tag, and then I did the same with liquid stardust. I removed all the washi tape, and put my three tag panels aside to dry.

I stamped my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Let's Chill - seals • Toasty Hugs - characters • Winter Scenes - igloos • Snowmen In Sweaters - trees, snowflakes.

I attached my images on the tags using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and added highlights and details using a white gelly roll pen. It's not visible on the pictures, but to make the back of my tags neat and pretty, I cut three Scalloped Squares Tags out of a Polka Dot Parade blue pattern paper, and attached those polka dot tags at the back of my main tags using liquid glue. And to totally complete my panels, I used a Mini Mat & Tag 4 eyelet die to cut three eyelets out of dark blue cardstock, and stuck an eyelet at the top of each tag.

For the greetings, I went for small tags and used Window Quad Square dies to cut the different pieces. I assembled them, silver heat embossed "Warmest winter wishes" from Holiday Hugs on each tag, and attached each small tag to a large tag using dark blue twine. And as a final shiny detail, I added a double white and silver bow on each small tag. 

And that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

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

Hello crafters, it is Tina with a cute Holiday card in which the two adorable seals from Let’s Chill are the stars of the show! This set is a Black Friday gift, with purchase exclusive and it is not for sale.

My design is a shaped card using the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies. After cutting a panel from white card stock, I used the same die to create my card base. For a bold and dramatic background I blended Broken China and Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxides and I was pleasantly surprised to see how well they work together! I splattered the panel with water and white paint and put it aside to dry.

Next, I stamped and cut the two cute seals and also two ice blocks (Bear Hugs, Winter Scenes) for them to sit on. As usual, I colored with my Copics and added white gel pen accents.

My sentiment is a large ‘Merry Christmas’ from the Holiday Greetings stamp and die set. I love the scripty font and also the size, it fills the complete sky portion of this card. After putting the seals in place with foam tape, I adhered the sentiment (I cut three layers and glued them together for dimension).

To add extra icy elements, I sprinkled white snowflakes across the scene. These were cut with an all-time favorite die (Snowflake Circle Frame) which I use a lot in my Christmas card making. I glued some Iridescent Clear Jewels to center of the snowflakes for that extra festive bling!

This card was so fun to make, and I hope it inspired you to create a project with this sweet set! Happy crafting!
