Polar Playmates & Playful Polar Bear Winter Birthday Card with Nancy

Hey there Sunny fans, Nancy here with a look at a mix of wintery friends from the Polar Playmates and Playful Polar Bear stamp sets. I've mixed them up to create this birthday greeting for one of my January babies. This card is almost monochromatic with shades of blue and a just a hint of green. The color scheme ties the scene together and gives it a nice cool feel.

To create this card, begin with a strip of medium blue and darker blue adhered to the bottom of the card. A circle die cut of aqua cardstock was stamped with the Snow Flurries stamp to give it some movement and tie it into the theme. 

All of the whimsical images were watercolored with Zig Clean Color makers for a bright punch of color. They were adhered with pop dots for some added dimension. A few dew drops and the sentiment stamped in black and blue inks complete this card.

Making monochromatic card is a fun and easy way to combine multiple stamp sets. Check out our winter releases including Polar Playmates and Playful Polar Bears to create a scene of your own!

Little Angels Pink and Silver Happy Birthday Card with Lexa

Hello everyone! Lexa here today to share an inspiration how to use holidays themed stamp set for non-holidays one. I use this adorable Little Angels Stamp set and it's coordinating dies together with Angelic Sentiments Stamp.

I blend Worn Lipstick and Shaded Lilac Distress Inks with a stencil to create the background. Then I layer the silver foil striped vellum in the middle, it looks so pretty. I stamped all the images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers, keept all the colors muted and soft since I want to make it looks angelic so they match the background perfectly. 

One thing I love about clear stamps is I can bend them as much as I would, just like I bend the sentiment to follow the banner curves. This card is so simple to make and yet will make any little angel's day.

I really hope you like today's card as much as I do. Thank you so much for visiting the blog today. I hope you all have an amazing day!

Bundled Up Watercolored Background Winter Wishes Card with Vanessa

Hi everybody! Vanessa here today with a winter card using Bundled Up. I love the cute little penguin and wanted to play with it, so here comes the result:

First, I applied watercolors to a panel of watercolor paper to create the background and adhered the panel to the card after it was dried. Now I stamped the penguin an its accessories and colored it with Copics, fussy-cut everything and adhered it to the card with foam tape. 

I stamped the sentiment from Heartfelt Wishes onto a strip of aqua cardstock, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder and adhered it. Then I die-cut "wishes" using the Wishes Word Die from black cardstock and adhered it. To finish the card off, I die-cut matching stars and added matching sequins.

I hope to have inspired you today! Have a good start into 2018, see you next year!!

Playful Polar Bear Rainbow Stacked Presents Birthday Card with Franci

Hi there, I hope you are having a beary good time during these holidays so far! Franci here with you today with a winter birthday themed card. I think you can tell now that one of my favorite set from the last release is the Playful Polar Bears one. So I just had to pick a bear and the cute gift to create a scene! 

This critter has to be "Beary Happy" since it's sitting on stack of presents! First of all, I repetitively stamped the little gift onto some white cardstock, and the bear onto some kraft cardstock with Versamark ink. I then embossed all of the images in white. I colored all the gifts, sponging some Distress inks and I chose rainbow colors to give them a twist and have a colorful card! 

I created my card base, die cutting a stitched rectangle and a hill. I also die cut all the gifts and the bear with the coordinating dies. Then I masked part of the bear off to be able to color his scarf and his nose with Distress inks (as I did for the gifts) and I added a rosy cheek with a Copic marker. Here's a little trick: if your white embossed images are not perfect fill all the imperfections with a white gel pen (and yes, I did just that!). 

I created my stack of presents and glued them all down with liquid glue and foam tape. I then cut a thin stripe of kraft cardstock and embossed my sentiment on it - "Beary Happy Birthday". It makes me giggle all the time every time I read it! Finally I glued my decorated panel on to my card base and added the sentiment and lots of clear sequins to complete my scene. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, have a lovely day!!

Polar Playmates Winter Themed Let's Chill Card with Nancy

Hey there Sunny Studio fans, Nancy here with a look at the Polar Playmates stamp set. It's perfect for the season of wintery goodness. I like to have a pile of "just because" cards available during this time of year and this stamp set has just the right amount of cute for my greetings.

To create this card, begin by stamping a background using the snowflake stamps in the Polar Playmates stamp set. I used two different shades of blue ink to give it dimension. You could even use three different ink colors for more of a pop! A few strips of blue cardstock were cut into slivers to mimic "skis". These were a great backdrop for the die cut heart and our focal point - the baby seal. 

The sled from the Playful Polar Bears made for a great resting spot for our little seal. A fishing rod and two tiny fishes add whimsy to the winter scene. A simple sentiment in black at the bottom of the page completes the card. 

Take a look at the Polar Playmates stamp set for all of your winter sentiments. It's a very versatile set with lots of themed and just because possibilities!

Playful Polar Bears Rainbow Stacked Presents Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I'll be using the Playful Polar Bears stamp set along with Gleeful Reindeer to create a last minute rainbow Christmas card!

I first stamped out my images onto some white cardstock from the Playful Polar Bears stamp set. I then used the Gleeful Reindeer stamp set and stamped three trees onto another piece of white cardstock, using masks each time to cover up the last tree stamped so that they would appear to be in the background. I then used those same masks, covered all the trees at once and also cut a snowy hill mask from some more masking paper also, covered the bottom of my card and ink blended some Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Ink over the background to create a blue sky. Before removing the masks I also splattered some white dots over the background to create snow. I then dried it all with a heat tool, removed the masks and moved on.

The images I stamped earlier, I went ahead and coloured in with Copic Markers and then cut them all out using the coordinating dies. I then added foam tape behind all the images and adhered them onto my background. I stacked up all the presents also onto the sled in rainbow order. Lastly, I stamped the 'Hope Your Holiday is Fun and Festive' from the Gleeful Reindeer stamp set onto the top right hand side of my card with black ink, then adhered my panel onto some plaid patterned paper and then onto a card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I'll catch you next week!
