Guest Designer Spotlight: Feeling Frosty Card with Wanda Guess

Hi everyone! Wanda Guess here! I'm always happy and excited to be the guest designer on the Sunny Studio Blog! I'm delighted to work with the beautiful and fun stamps and dies from Sunny Studio! The newest release is holiday fabulousness! I am obsessed with the Feeling Frosty snowmen and those Scenic Route Stamps!! I had so much fun creating a card to share with you all today. Please visit me on my blog sometime! You can find me at A Blog Called Wanda! Or find me on Instagram. Let's get started and take a look at my project. I'm sending you a frosty hello!

This card is BIG! It's a 5.25 inch square card. I wanted lots of room to build my snowy scene, so I made my card base into a square from Neenah Cardstock. I used the amazing Very Merry Paper Pack too add that snowy sky to the scene. My layers are: white square card base, lime green cardstock, Snowy Sky patterned paper (from the Very Merry paper pack), Scenic Route die, Stitched Oval. (Yes, I love layers!). 

I stamped and die cut out the three snowmen and the snowy hills/trees. I stamped a second snowy hill/trees and fussy cut out another grouping of trees. I had fun coloring everything with Copic Markers in vivid shades. For accents I added bits of white gel pen and Diamond Stickles. I also stamped some snowflakes onto the top most white layer.

The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder onto black cardstock. I love that look! Very graphic and clean. To assemble the card I used foam tape and a tape runner. The snowmen are popped off the card with foam tape. A few sparkly clear gems completed the card. 

How adorable are those snowmen?? I love them! I want to stamp a million of them. Ha! Sunny Studio stamps make me smile. The stamp sets are all perfectly sized and scaled to mix and match, and that makes it so much fun to create with all your stamp sets. I think I might make this card a second time and use tones of red and grey for a more farmhouse look! The possibilities are endless. 

Big thanks to Mendi for having me as a guest! I'm very blessed that she always invites me back! Merry Christmas Season!

Layered Poinsettias Cards with Rachel and Candice

Hello friends! It's Rachel here and I have a card to share with you today that features the new Layered Poinsettia Die Set. To start my card, I first created my poinsettia by cutting the various layers in different shades of red card stock. I also cut one layer of leaves from green card stock. In order to get the illusion of added depth, I blended each piece lightly on the edges with some Distress Ink that was slightly darker than the card stock itself.

Also, I used small pieces of 3D Adhesive Foam Squares when adding each layer to also add some more dimension. If you preferred less dimension, you'd simply need to glue your layers together. Once my flower was assembled, I set it aside and worked on my card background. Since I loved the look of the Woodgrain Embossing Folder on my previous card, I used the same technique on this card. I added some brown ink to the front panel of my embossing folder and ran a piece of 4.25"x4.25" Kraft card stock through my machine. I then layered this woodgrain piece with both a square white and green piece of card stock.

For some added interest, I die cut another piece of green card stock with the Snowflake Circle Frame Die and added this to the center of my card. I then used this set to also cut some white snowflakes as accents. For my sentiment, I used the "Wishes" word die from the Layered Snowflake Frame Die and die cut my sentiment from white card stock. I glued this piece to the front of my card and added the word "Christmas" (from the Merry Mice Stamps Set) by heat embossing it with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto a strip of black card stock. Lastly, I added a few small White Pearls to the centers of my snowflakes and poinsettia.

I hope you've enjoyed my card today! Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Welcome back my crafty friends, it's Candice with you again this Friday sharing an elegant Christmas card for you today using the new Layered Poinsettia dies! 

The fabulous Sunny Studio Stamps products I used are:

• Layered Poinsettia dies
• Layered Snowflake Frame die (winter wishes)
• Santa Claus Lane stamp set (sentiment)
• Frilly Frames Stripes die (background)
• White Pearls

I began my card by creating an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base which will fit nicely into the size 9A envelopes.

To create my background, I die cut strips from shimmer paper with the Frilly Frames Stripes die and using the negative for a guide, glued them to a piece of cardstock that I trimmed to fit on the front.

Next, I die cut the poinsettia leaves from the same shimmer paper. I then cut out three sets of the poinsettia petals, inking each layer with chipped sapphire, then faded jeans and topped with stormy sky.  

For my large sentiment, I die cut the winter wishes from silver and multiples from scrap white cardstock and layered. I then heat embossed the sentiment in silver and trimmed to create a banner. For a simple embellishment, I added a few white pearls.

Thank you so much for visiting!

Merry Mice Cards with Anja and Vanessa

Hello everyone, Anja here and today's card features the adorable Merry Mice Stamps. I combined them with the beautiful Layered Snowflake Frame Die to create a winter scene.

First, I did an ink blended background with Distress Oxide Inks. I sprinkled on water droplets to lift the color in some spots. For the falling snow, I added white paint splatters with a brush.

I die cut the larger snowflake frame from a 5"×5" white cardstock panel. Due to the intricate details, I used a metal shim while running it through my die-cutting machine. I created a snow hill by die cutting a piece of white pearlescent paper and popped up the snowflake frame with foam tape.

Next, I stamped the mice and accessories in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and did some coloring with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images and adhered them with liquid glue.

For the sentiment, I white heat embossed the small word 'HELLO' (from the Fabulous Flamingos set) on a little strip of lavender cardstock. I die cut the word 'Winter' (which is also included in the Layered Snowflake Frame Die set) from purple glitter cardstock. I assembled my card and added Blue & White Clay Snowflake Confetti as embellishments.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you're having a fabulous day!

Hello to you! Vanessa here today with a card using the adorable Merry Mice set. This set makes my heart happy!

First, I covered the front of my card base with red striped patterned paper from the Very Merry 6x6 paper. Now I die-cut the Frilly Frames Chevron die from Kraft cardstock, stamped the Frosty Flurries with white pigment ink and adhered the panel to the card.

I die-cut the tiny tags from the Wrap Around Box Dies from white cardstock, inked the bottom edges with red Distress Oxide Inks, tied-on baker's twine and adhered the tags to the card.

Then I stamped the images onto white cardstock, colored them with Copics, die-cut the pieces with the matching dies and adhered everything to the card, raising some parts with foam tape. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of green cardstock, notched the ends and adhered it.

I can't get over how cute these mice are!! What a gang :) Thanks for stopping by today!

Hogs & Kisses Cards with Ana and Franci

Hello friends! Ana here today with a super cute card featuring super adorable Hogs & Kisses stamps and coordinating dies!

I started with stamping, coloring and die cutting piggy images, then stamped the sentiments in the speech bubble and die cut it out. Next, I stamped, die cut and colored the large Christmas tree (from Seasonal Trees stamps) and few presents, ornaments and candy canes (from Santa Claus Lane stamps).

For the background I inked Spiced Marmalade and Worn Lipstick Distress inks, then spritzed the panel with water. I die cut snowy hills with Woodland Border Dies and inked them lightly with the same Distress ink colors. I adhered the hills to the background, then added the images and the sentiment speech bubble.

I backed the panel with a teal panel, added white scalloped panel (which I die cut with Frilly Frames Polka Dot dies), then added another teal layering panel. I adhered the finished scene to the card base and added highlights with white gel pen!

Aren’t these holiday piglets just too cute for words? I just adore their sweet, happy faces! Thank you so much for stopping by today friends! I’ll see you next week!

Hello there! Franci here with you today with a cute Holiday Hogs & Kisses card! 

Just look at these happy little festive piggies!! They make me giggle soo soo much! Ha! First of all I cut out a piece of this snowy day landscape background paper included in the new Very Merry 6x6 paper and cut out a coordinated card base out of white cardstock. I kept this card a little taller and slimmer to fit my stack of piggies at its best.

I stamped, colored and die cut all the images from these sets: Hogs & Kisses + coordinated dies, Santa Claus Lane + coordinated dies, Merry Mice + coordinated dies. Then I added some foiled details onto the front of my card, just 2 little stripes at the sides to create a pretty frame for my little scene, glued down my main panel and added all the images with foam tape. I stamped my sentiment on the snow at the bottom and added some white Nuvo Drops embellishments to the scene.

Finally I added some more details to all the images with a white gel pen and my Wink of Stella clear brush. Hope you like my card, thank you so much for stopping by today!

Sweet Treat Focused Cards with Angelica and Juliana

Hi friends! Angelica here, with a fun project using the Sweet Treat Bag Dies. 

I used stamps from the Season's Greetings stamp set to decorate two pieces of kraft card stock. Once I finished stamping, I used the Sweet Treat Bag die to die-cut both pieces. I watched this video from Sunny Studio Stamps to help me assemble the bag.

I decorated the flap top with Holiday Cheer and Classic Gingham pattern papers, die-cutting them with the Sweater Vest Dies. I glued the die cuts onto a white die-cut flap, then attached the flap to the bag. I used small Basic Grey magnets to close the bag.

I love how easy this bag was to put together. I'll be making a lot more of these soon for the upcoming Christmas season. That's all that I have for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Sunny Studio Friends! It's Juliana here and today I've created a Christmas gift bag using the Sweet Treat Bag Dies. I combined it with some other dies and an embossing folder to create a sweet little rustic woodland style.

I began by taking the Sweet Treat Bag Dies and cutting the main shape twice from kraft cardstock. I then used the Woodgrain Embossing Folder to emboss each piece of the bag. I then assembled the bag following the instructions in this video.

Next, I took the Scalloped Tag Square Dies and cut the larger tag from white cardstock. I then took Therm O Web Purple Tape and placed it along the stitched lines to mask off the edges of the tag. I then  used Distress Oxide Inks to create a snowy sky. I then splattered it with watered down white acrylic paint to give the look of snowflakes.

To create the rustic winter scene, I used the Rustic Winter Dies and Woodland Border Dies. I cut the deer from brown cardstock and the trees from green. I then inked the edges to add a little interest. I also die cut a piece of white cardstock using the border dies to create a snowy hill for the deer. Once all the pieces were created, I adhered them to the tag. I then finished it off with a red bow and added matching handles to the bag.

Since this is a gift bag, I used the tiny tag die that comes with the Sweet Treat Bag Dies to create a to/from tag for the bag. I stamped the to and from using the Season's Greetings Stamp Set.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed learning how I created this rustic woodland style Christmas gift bag using the Sweet Treat Bag Dies.
