Polar Playmates Christmas Themed Tags with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have some quick tags to share with you all using the Polar Playmates and Tag Topper Crescent Dies.

To begin I cut down three pieces of watercolour paper to 3" wide by 4 1/2" tall. I then used the largest Crescent Topper Die and cut down each of the pieces to have a tag like edge. Then I ink blended some Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Ink on top of each of the tags and sprinkled them with water to appear like snow. Next I cut down some Neenah Solar White cardstock to 3" wide and used my scissors to cut a snowy hill on each of the pieces. I then stamped 'Merry Christmas' from the Jolly Gingerbread stamp set with some black ink onto each of the snow pieces. I then added some foam tape along the back and adhered it down onto the bottom of each of my tags.

Next, I stamped, coloured and cut my images out from the Polar Playmates stamp set. I used Copic Markers for my colouring and the coordinating dies to cut them out. Once they were cut out I adhered them onto my tags with more foam tape. To finish up my tags, I punched holes at the top of my tags and threaded through some twine and that finished up my tags.

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

Guest Designer Spotlight: Winter Themed Card with Melissa Bowden

Hi everyone! Melissa Bowden here, I am so excited to be back on the Sunny Studio blog as a guest designer! I love the newest winter collection and I really enjoyed making these two cards focusing on the Festive Greetings and Playful Polar Bears stamp sets. I hope you enjoy them as well!

To make the first card I first cut a rectangle of white card stock for the stamped area. I then die cut the bottom using the Fishtail Banner dies. After that was done I lined up the bear and the present from the Playful Polar Bears set where I wanted them to go. Because I wanted the present in front I stamped that first. I then masked it off and stamped the bear over top. 

To finish the little scene I added the stars from the set scattered around the sky and the sentiment from Festive Greetings to the bottom. I coloured the images with Copic markers. To finish the card off I adhered the panel I had just coloured to a navy blue card base. 

For the next card I used the same two stamp sets as before. I started with the background for this card. This consisted of me blending together a few different blue inks on white card stock to create a gradient effect. I used a white gel pen on the background to create a snow like effect. I then cut out some hills with a hill border die and layered those over top of the background. I also cut out the circle opening with another die and laid that over top. When I got those all where I wanted them I adhered them down. 

I then blended some ink around the outside to give it a little more dimension and a bit of an antiqued look. It was then on to the star of the show the little polar bear. I coloured him with Copic markers and cut him out with a white border around the edge. I stamped him again onto patterned Christmas paper but this time I only cut out his scarf. I layered that over top to make it look like he was wearing a cute Christmasy scarf. To finish off the card I stamped the sentiment onto a little banner of patterned paper and mounted everything onto a navy blue card base.

Have a wonderful day!
