First of all I created my card base out of white cardstock and I trimmed a coordinated white panel down to size too. I die cut this using the large Layered Snowflake Frame and I also die cut my "Merry" out of some silver sparkle cardstock using the Merry Christmas die included in the Christmas Garland Frame set. 

I inked the front of my card with Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch Distress Inks and I glued my window panel to the card. I also glued the "Merry" and stamped "Christmas" on the bottom. Then I stamped, colored with Copics and die cut some images from the Santa Claus Lane set and glued them down with some foam adhesive.

I added lots of details to all my little scene with a white gel pen, also added a little heart I stamped and die cut from the Hogs & Kisses set. Finally I added some little pearl embellishments here and there and I love how they looks so much!!

Hope you like my card and thank you so much for stopping by today! Now let's celebrate, shall we?! Merry, merry Christmas!

Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! It is Ana here today with a water colored Christmas card featuring Layered Snowflake Frame dies and one of my favorite mini stamps Christmas Chapel.

I absolutely adore the Snowflake frames and really wanted to combine it with Christmas Chapel and watercolor both panels for softer, winter wonderland look. I started with die cutting the front panel with larger Snowflake Frame die (I used Canson XL watercolor paper for both panels).  I added very light blue shades of color to the die cut panel and set it aside to dry.

I stamped the Christmas Chapel in Antique Linen Distress Ink (the lightest water-soluble ink I have) so I could do no line water coloring. I used Prima watercolors for both the front die cut snowflake frame panel, the chapel and the background/snow banks.

To the chapel panel I added white (acrylic paint mixed with water) splatter. Once both my panels were dry, I stamped the sentiment - from Christmas Chapel set - to the front (snowflake frame) panel. I added foam tape to the snowflake frame pop it up and adhered both panel to A2 card base.

Thank you so much for spending time with us today! I really hope you like today’s winter wonderland project! Wishing you a blessed holiday season!

Embossing Folder Focused Cards with Juliana and Angelica

Hello Sunny Studio Friends! It's Juliana and today I'm here to share a quick and easy card you can create using the Buffalo Plaid Embossing Folder and Santa's Stocking Dies.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Layered Poinsettia Dies Santa's Stocking Christmas Card by Juliana Michaels

I began with the stocking from the Santa's Stocking Dies and cut it from red cardstock. I then embossed it using the Buffalo Plaid Embossing Folder. Next, I took a black dye ink pad and rubbed it gently over the raised part of the embossed design to make the stocking red and black. You might want to practice this technique on a scrap of embossed paper first, but the main thing to keep is mind is that you don't really push down so much as rub it across the paper.

To decorate the stocking, I cut the trim and heel/toe pieces from Therm O Web Deco Foil Flock Transfer Sheets in White Latte for a bit of texture and interest. For the finishing touch I added a poinsettia created using the Layered Poinsettia Die. I happened to have an extra one laying around so it came in handy for making this card come together quickly. You might look around your stash of die cuts and embellishments for something you can add to your stocking!

You might be asking how I made the card base in the shape of the stocking. To do this, take a piece of cardstock cut to 4.25 x 11 inches and fold it in half. Place the stocking die so that the top edge of the die is over the edge of the fold. That way when you cut the paper it will keep the fold for the card intact. Then just run the piece through your die cut machine and voilá you have a stocking shaped card!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this Christmas card inspiration using the Buffalo Plaid Embossing Folder and Santa's Stocking Dies.

Hi friends! Angelica here, and I have a new card to share with you today. I used the Buffalo Plaid Embossing Folder to bring color and texture to this cheerful Thank You card.

I taped white card stock to the inside of the embossing folder, then rubbed Wendy Vecchi Garden Patina Blendable Dye Ink on the other side of the folder. I ran it through my die-cut machine, then repeated the process two more times. Once finished, I trimmed the panel to a square, and attached it to a card front I had die-cut with Frilly Frames Retro Petals stitched rectangle. I used Sunflower Fields stamp set to stamp the sunflower and sentiment. I attached everything together, and attached the card front to a card base with foam adhesive.

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope I have helped with ideas using embossing folders.
