Foxy Christmas Arctic Fox Winter Themed Cards with Franci

Hi there, Franci here with you today showcasing the new Foxy Christmas set! I'm totally in love with these cuties. Foxes are some of my favorite wild animals and I especially love arctic foxes, which is why all my cuties here are white!

For my first card I went for a kind of vintage look. I created a frame out of dark kraft cardstock using the new Stitched Oval dies and I also die cut some snowy hills and some tree trunks, using the Woodland Borders dies and the Rustic Winter set.

I created my card base out of white cardstock and I inked it up with some Distress inks. I glued all of the elements with liquid glue behind the frame and I adhered everything onto my card. I drew some snowflakes here and there to create a snowy effect and then I die cut, assembled, and glued down the little bow included in the new Santa's Stocking set.

I stamped, colored, and die cut this cute foxy couple and I adhered them onto my card with foam tape. I colored a little strip of white cardstock red to coordinated with my bow, and I embossed my "Hello" sentiment and I stuck it in front of my snowy hills. Finally, I added some more details to my little scene with the white gel pen.

For my second project I created a happy card with a traditional Christmas color scheme -  lots of white, greens and reds makes everything so festive! First, I die cut my frame out of this beautiful green pattern paper included in the new Holiday Cheer 6x6" paper pack using the Comic Strip Everyday die set. Then I die cut more snowy hills (like I did before) and I embossed my sentiment in gold on the center one.

I created my card base and inked the background with some blues, before gluing all of the snowy hills behind the frame and adhering everything onto my card. I stamped, colored and die cut lots of images and I started composing my scene. Once I was happy with the placement I glued everything down with a combo of liquid glue and foam tape.

Finally, I drew my snow on the background, adding lots of details and some glitters here and there on the snow and on the little Santa's hat.

I hope you like my projects and thank you so much for stopping by today. I will see you soon with a new project featuring the new release!

Santa's Stocking Dies Felt Stitched Christmas Ornaments with Juliana

Hello friends! It's Juliana Michaels and today I'm going outside the paper crafting box a bit and using the brand new Santa's Stocking dies with felt to create a stocking Christmas ornament. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Santa's Stocking Dies Fancy Frames Felt Stitched Christmas Ornaments by Juliana Michaels

It's been forever since I did any stitching or embroidery, but the Santa's Stocking dies inspired me to pull them out to create a festive handmade Christmas ornament. Every year, I love to create handmade ornaments as gifts and I know I'll be making quite a few more of these over the next few weeks!

The first thing I did was to die cut all the shapes from felt purchased at my local craft supply store. I also got matching embroidery thread for each color of felt. I die cut 2 of the main stocking piece and then one of the trim, toe and heel pieces. I also die cut some holly leaves and berries to embellish it. For the hanger, I used the ribbon slider die from the Fancy Frames Rectangles die set. I just trimmed off the holes, but you could also just cut a rectangle from the felt to use for your hanger.

Begin by adding stitching to the holly leaves and then sew them to the trim. Next, stitch the berries to the trim piece using french knots. Now it's time to stitch on the other pieces. The dies for the trim, heel and toe all have a stitched edge to them, so I used this as a guide to sew these pieces to one of the die cut stockings. Only stitch those edges to begin with.

Once that is completed, start stitching the two stockings together. Remember not to sew across the top of the stocking! I'll admit to forgetting this at first, so I had to remove a few stitches! For the final bit of sewing add the hanger to the back of the stocking.

I hope you enjoyed learning how to create this felt Christmas stocking ornament and how to use your dies for more than just paper crafting. I can't wait to create a few more of these and give them as gifts to my family and friends this Christmas. I'm pretty sure they'll be even more special when filled with some candy or even a gift card!

Build A Tag Alpaca Christmas Tags with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have some Christmas tags to share with you all. I used the new Build A Tag #1 Dies along with my favourite Alpaca Holiday stamp set.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Build A Tag Alpaca Holiday Christmas Tags by Eloise Blue

I started off by cutting the main tag shape from a piece of blue glitter cardstock. I then cut the toppers and bottom of the tags using some plain white cardstock. I adhered all the pieces together using foam tape. 

Next, I stamped out the images from Alpaca Holiday and coloured them in with Copic Markers. Since I tend to always use similar colour schemes, I decided to use a new one I found on Pinterest as inspiration. 


(Copic Markers Used: V15, V17, V09 / BV02, BV04, BV08 / YG01, YG23, YG17 / E40, E41, E42, E43, E44, E47 / R14, R24, R46 / E000, E00, E21 / R20 / Y13, Y35, YR24)

Once the images were coloured, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I added foam tape onto the backs of each of the images and adhered them into place on each of the tags. 

For the sentiment, I white heat embossed the 'Winter Wishes' from Alpaca Holiday onto some black cardstock and cut them into banners. I threaded them through using some twine on the top of the tag and finished them off with a little yellow bow of twine as well. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed my tags today. See you next week.

Eskimo Kisses Winter Themed Card with Lexa

Hello everyone! Lexa here today with a card that highlighting the brand new mini Eskimo Kisses Stamp Set and the coordinating dies. This stamp set is so cute and goes well with a lot of Sunny Studio previous winter set as for today's card I pulled out the older Polar Playmates Stamp to give those little Eskimos a buddy. Let's get started right away.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Eskimo Kisses Polar Playmates Winter Themed Card by Lexa Levana

First, I stamped my images with a black Versafine ink and watercolor them using Distress Markers. I already knew that I need to use the igloo to complete my scene, they just belong together. Don't you think so? And a cute seal is the perfect buddy for them. After I finished with the coloring I cut all of the images using the coordinating dies.

To create a snow hill I use Woodland Borders Dies that have a pretty stitched look on both side. I blended Worn Lipstick Distress Ink on the top part that will be the sky and just a tiny bit of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink along the edges of my snow hill.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Eskimo Kisses Polar Playmates Winter Themed Card by Lexa Levana

I adhered both parts together on a card base and stamped various size snowflakes from Polar Playmates Stamp with pink dye ink. The "eskimo kisses" sentiment is stamped on a blue cardstock which I cut into a fish tail banner in the end. After that I just happily arrange my scene together with glue and foam tapes to create dimensions.

That's all for today, I hope you like today's card and have an amazing day!
