Holiday Hugs Valentine's Day Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy New Year! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today, and I am thrilled to share a sweet postcard-style Valentine's Day card featuring the adorable bear from the Holiday Hugs set.

I am currently obsessed with postage and postcard-style cards. I was so excited to pair this cute bear with some stamp die cuts from the Gift Card Envelope Dies and stenciling with the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils to create a postcard-like design. So let's get started.

I stamped the bear and heart images from the Holiday Hugs Stamp onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Holiday Hugs Dies to die cut them out. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Bear: W00/0/1, W1/5/7, R000/20
Scarf: R14//24/29, RV10/21, C0/1
Heart: R14/24/29

For the background, I used the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils and some Candied Apple Distress ink to create a striped border on a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I took another piece of white cardstock and lightly ink-blended some Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink onto the edges. I trimmed a bit off the edges of the pink panel and adhered the two panels together.

For the sentiment, I stamped the "Happy Valentine's Day" sentiment and red heart from the Foxy Friends Stamp set, the "Sending Love &" sentiment from the Big Bunny Stamp set, "Hugs" sentiment from the Holiday Hugs Stamp set and the "Especially For You" sentiment from the Inside Greetings Seasons Stamp set directly onto the pink panel with Versafine Satin Red and Onyx Black inks. I used a black pen to draw in the line and dots to create a separation of the left and right side of the postcard. 

I used the Gift Card Envelopes Dies to die-cut two stamps and the LOVE and XOXO letters out of white, red, and silver cardstock. I affixed them to the upper-right corner of my postcard. I adhered the bear to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a white A2 card base.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I was super happy that I was able to create the postcard design. Be on the lookout, you may see more postcard-style cards from me. I hope you liked my card and are inspired to create your own postcard-style cards to send out. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop.

Snowmen In Sweaters Card with Amanda

Hey crafty friends! It's Amanda here with you on the Sunny Studio blog today and I'm just in AWE that 2026 is HERE! I hope you have had a wonderful 2025! I'm sharing a card I made using only the Snowmen in Sweaters Stamps and the Joyful Holiday Paper!  

This card is ALL about the colors! What's better than a bright and cheery card in the middle of winter?! To create this card, I trimmed a beautiful pink snowy paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper to 5.25" x 2.75". I glued this panel straight to an A2 card base. Next, I stamped all of my snowmen, snowflakes and sentiment with alcohol marker-friendly black ink.  

I colored in my snowmen using Copic markers. Here are the colors I used:
RV10, RV11, RV14
R30, R32, R35
YR04, YR09
Y000, Y11, Y19
YG000, YG01, YG03, YG05
BG10, BG11, BG13
BV000, BV00, BV02, BV04
T0, T2

After I finished coloring in my adorable snowmen, I cut them out with the coordinating dies. I also die cut the sentiment and snowflakes. I placed 3D foam squares behind all the images and sentiment and adhered them to my card front.

A little snowy scene that warms the heart! Thank you so much for coming by the blog today - and don't forget to come back tomorrow for more crafty inspiration! Happy 2026 to you and yours!

Merry Mice & Harvest Mice Love-Themed Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back one last time on the blog with this colorful and fun Valentine card featuring a big mix and match of stamps and dies. My journey with Sunny Studio ends today, after almost five amazing years full of bright colors, cute critters and busy little scenes. I used the mice on many cards and created a lot of scenes with them, so I had to feature them one last time as a nod to my time on Sunny Studio's design team.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them all with the matching dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Merry Mice + Harvest Mice - mice • Bighearted Bears - envelopes, bows • Heart Bouquet - balloons. When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

Next I worked on all the panels to create the background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches aqua panel, mixed some liquid stardust with water and added sparkling splatters to my panel using a slim brush. While my panel was drying, I cut a Bursting Hearts panel out of turquoise cardstock, added sparkling splatters and white splatters to it, and once dry, I attached it to the aqua panel using 1mm foam squares, and then to a white card base.

For the heart-shaped panel, I first cut a large Stitched Heart 2 panel out of light pink cardstock, ran it through my die cutting machine along with the Quilted Heart Portrait die to cut tiny hearts out of it, and then added splatters to my pink heart. I cut another large Stitched Heart 2 panel out of white cardstock and stuck the pink heart panel on top using 1mm foam squares. I cut a large Scalloped Heart panel out of pearlescent vellum, attached my pink heart panel to it using liquid glue, and finally stuck my heart panel to the card base using 1mm foam squares.

Next I stamped "You are always in my heart" from My Heart on white cardstock using red dye ink, cut it with the matching die, and stuck it in the middle of my Stitched Heart 2 pink heart using 1mm foam squares. I attached the images on both sides of the heart using 2mm foam squares, and then added a scattering of hearts all over the card. I cut those hearts out of red cardstock using Stitched Hearts 2 dies, attached them using foam squares, and finally applied glossy accents on each of them to add more shine and sparkle to my card.

And that's it! Thanks for stopping by, and thank you so much guys for supporting me and my work during my Sunny Studio journey. Thank you Laura for being the greatest right-hand lady to Mendi and an amazing supportive friend, with the kindest words always. Thank you Mendi for asking me to join the team in August 2021, it's been an honor and so much fun to work for you and Sunny Studio.

Bighearted Bears Love-Themed Card with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here with the last card of the year 2025!  I am featuring a love themed scene with two cuties from the Bighearted Bears stamp and die set.

The Bursting Hearts background die is a perfect match for this project. I combined this white die cut piece with a purple heart paper from Flirty Flowers. After creating a white card base, I layered both directly onto the base.

For my scene I cut a white panel with the largest of the Stiched Arch dies. This panel will become my background by inking a sky with a cloud stencil from my stash and Distress Oxide Dusty Concord. The bottom part of this arch piece was turned into a side walk by stamping one of the Sprawling Surfaces. Such a versatile set to have in your stash!

Next, I selected two adorable pandas, a letter and a chocolate box from the Bighearted Bears stamp. All the images were colored with my Copics and I added white gel pen highlights.

Before assembling the card, I needed to add a sentiment. I browsed through my stash and decided that the Lovey Dovey stamp was perfect for this project. I stamped the sentiment directly to the panel with Versafine Onyx Black ink. To put the card together, I glued the arched panel to the background and mounted the images with foam tape. As a final embellishment, I added three cute Heart Shaped Pearls to my scene.

Thank you for joining me here on the blog. I am wishing you all a wonderful and very crafty 2026!

Meow & Furever Cat Love-Themed Cards with Mendi

Hello there! I hope you had a lovely Christmas. This is Mendi popping in to share some love-themed cards for Valentine's Day featuring our adorable Meow & Furever Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Meow & Furever Stamps, I made the adorable cat peeking through the heart-shaped cutout in his newspaper the focal point. I used a sketch for this card, keeping my card design relatively clean and simple. I relied on the fun, bright striped paper from the Spring Sunburst Paper pack and layered die-cuts to add interest. I landed on this particular color palette and patterned paper because I had colored this tabby cat image years ago, and I was looking for a way to incorporate orange into a Valentine's Day card, which felt like a bit of a challenge.

For my background, I started by die-cutting the diagonal grid print from the Gingham Pastels Paper pack using the Fishtail Banner 2 Dies. I then stacked the Stitched Heart 2 Die, cut from Bazzill's swiss dot cardstock, with a white Scalloped Heart Die inked with a bit of Salty Ocean Distress ink in the center. Lastly, I heat-embossed the punny "Meow You Doin'?" phrase from the Meow & Furever set onto a blue Brilliant Banner 1 Die.

For my second card using the Meow & Furever Stamps, I created another cat love-themed card perfect for Valentine's Day! I had colored all of my cat images and red hearts many years ago, and I was determined to use every last piece for today's cards, so it was fun challenging myself to find the perfect way to use what I had. For this card, I started with a dark kraft cardstock base and layered a blue heart print from the Flirty Flowers Paper pack over the top, which had been die-cut using the largest banner from the Slimline Pennant Dies. I added four of the smallest dies from the Scalloped Square 1 Small Dies into a 2x2 grid and centered my kitties over the top of each of the squares. I completed my card by heat-embossing the greeting from the set onto a red Brilliant Banner 2 Die and sprinkling the five small red hearts like flat mail-friendly embellishments.

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. 💛
