Guest Designer Spotlight: Christmas Projects with Michelle Short



Hello there, Michelle here and I am super excited to be guest designing for Sunny Studio today. 

My first project uses the adorable Gleeful Reindeer stamp set and dies. I created a background piece using masking and Distress Inks and then added the reindeer on top with foam tape. Don’t they look like they are having fun in the snow? :)

My second project uses the Christmas Icons stamp set, along with the Crescent Tag Topper dies. I love that you can completely customise your tags using the tag topper dies. For my tags, I used a combination of red and white cardstock, along with an acetate strip for an added bit of fun. The Christmas Icons add that cuteness to them!

Merry Sentiments Bright Christmas Card by Lexa

Hello everyone! Lexa here today with a card starring Merry Sentiments stamp and it's coordinating dies. I love these Christmas light bulbs, they are so pretty when you stamp all the layers.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Merry Sentiments & Holiday Style Vintage Lights Border Christmas Card by Lexa Levana.

I started with a piece of 4.25"x 5.5" white cardstock, and stamped all the light bulbs on the edges. I think it will be more festive with a colorful light bulbs on your Christmas tree. I started with the lighter colors and layered them with the darker ones after. Have I mentioned the heart wire inside the bulbs? Oh, it is so super cute. I did the same thing for the bulb's base, start with a lighter grey and stamped the detail with a darker one. After I was happy with my bulb border, I die cut about eight pieces bulb's coordinating dies to mask some of them before I stamped the leaves from Holiday Style stamp. 

As for my sentiment I used silver embossing powder on black cardstock and layered it on top a piece of vellum. It makes the sentiment stand out from the background. Last but not least, I cut a piece of 4.5"x 5.75" silver glitter cardstock from Doodlebug for the card base.
