Hello there! Thanks to everyone who stopped by and left sweet comments on our blog hop post yesterday. There's still time to win one of two stamp sets being given away so if you missed it, make sure to check out THIS post.
I am so excited to hear your ideas on what stamp sets you would like to see in the future! I definitely have plans for more critters so I'm happy to hear that many of you guys want them too. I can't wait to start sharing peeks of our Spring release throughout the month of December. If you're on facebook make sure to like our page because we will be sharing many of those peeks over there (see this helpful tutorial on how you can actually see more posts from your favorite fan pages in your newsfeed). If you're not on facebook, not to worry... We will be sharing some peeks here as well. :)
Today I have another card using the Bundled Up stamp set with some non-traditional Christmas colors. I had colored this little guy beforehand so I took my cues from him and sponged on Cracked Pistachio and Barn Door distress inks for my background.
Taking another cue from the little guy, I thought it would be fun to play up the hot cocoa image for my background so I repeatedly stamped the hot cocoa mug using the same Barn Door distress ink after stamping it off once on scrap paper.
I love how the little ice block from the Snow Kissed set looks with the Bundled Up Penguin!
I will be back tomorrow with one more Bundled Up card before I turn the blog back to my ultra talented creative team. :)
Hello there! You should be arriving here from Jennie's blog. For those visiting for the first time, we would love to welcome you! We are a new company specializing in quality made clear photopolymer stamps and steel dies lovingly made in the USA. Here's a peek out our debut release... We are planning new releases every three months with our next release due out by early January.
Today for my project I created a rainbow inspired card using our popular Bundled Up stamp set along with word & snowflake dies from our Santa's Helpers and Snow Kissed die sets.
As I was stamping out the accessories, I thought to myself how cute it would be to make the penguins represent all the colors of the rainbow so I created a card that is 4" x 9" and fits perfectly in a business sized envelope.
For my background I lightly inked it up with some Tumbled Glass distress ink and scattered tiny snowflakes. For my sentiment I blended the colors of the rainbow using the same Copic markers I had used to color my images and then added some glossy shine over the top using Ranger Glossy Accents (after adhering the words to my card with a Zig glue pen).
In honor of today's hop we are offering 20% off on all orders using the code "CARDMAKER" today through Saturday at Noon PST. You can find our online store HERE.

Hello there! Today I'm sharing a card using the Snow Kissed stamp set. My kids and oldest daughter in particular are major snow bunnies so I designed this set with them in mind.
This set includes a lot of individual snowflake images. Not only were these added as a way to take advantage of the extra tiny space available around the main images, but they were designed to be used together on a clear block for stamping unique custom backgrounds.
I finished off my card with a couple of tabs topped with some die-cut snowflake shapes from the coordinating Snow Kissed die set. The red, white and blue color scheme is somewhat unexpected for a Winter card, but I like the way it turned out. ;)
I hope you will join us tomorrow for a special blog hop with CardMaker Magazine. :)
This week I will be sharing a variety of Christmas and Winter themed cards using our three holiday stamp sets. Today's card focuses on the Santa's Helpers stamp set and the Fishtail Banners die set.
I love the little puppy in the present. I think he would be so cute turned into a birthday card with a change of colors!
To dress up my card I used the extra holly dies that come with the Santa's Helpers die set and added some red pearls for the berries.
A couple months ago I shared a video tutorial on how I created this card base on our YouTube channel (which you can view HERE). I love that I was able to stretch the fishtail banners and use them in a multitude of ways on this little card. :)
Hello there! It's time for another Sunny Saturday Share (although I think it's going to have to be more of a sunny state of mind since it is pouring cats and dogs right now in my neck of the woods). ;)
I thought I would share some fun ideas I came across on the web this week using our stamps. Up first we have three darling cards created by Becki Adams that she featured over on the Scrapbook Expo blog earlier this week. Make sure to hop over there to see all oh her cards up close. I love how she paper-pieced them all using our Happy Home and Harvest Happiness stamps! So cute!
When I was surfing around Pinterest this week I also came across this darling card using our Snow Kissed stamps. You can see more of her beautiful cards on her Pinterest board titled Cards by Nicola.
The last card was shared with us on our Flickr group by Graciellie Design. Isn't it so yummy?! I adore the sweet colors she chose, but most of all I love the texture she added to her ice cream scoops from our Birthday Smiles set! So fun! To see a tutorial on how she created this happy card, make sure to visit her blog HERE. :)
I can't fully express how happy it makes me to stumble across your beautiful creations on the web. I hope you will join these talented ladies and upload your projects to our flickr group, share them with us on our Facebook page or share them on instagram using the hashtag #sunnystudiostamps.
Thanks so much for visiting today. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! :)
Big Hugs!
