Hi everyone,

it's the last day of the year and today's cute Snail Mail mini stamp set is a little pre-release item before the new Spring products will be available on January, 8th.

I did some creative die cutting and came up with a mailbox shaped card using the Stitched Arch Dies as well as some regular circle and rectangle dies. To create a top folding card, I die cut the shape twice from red cardstock. I sponged the edges with red dye ink.

I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink onto pink cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. With the help of partial die cutting, I cut out a flap that opens downwards…

… and the adorable snail sitting on a pile of envelopes is revealed. I did some masking to stamp all the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers.

Finally, I stamped and fussy cut two more envelopes and tucked them inside the slit at the top of the mailbox.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you all the best for the new year!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Fall/Winter Release • Classy Christmas

Hello everyone,

today is Christmas Eve and I have the matching card for you, showcasing the beautiful Classy Christmas Stamps.

I started off with a white A2 card base and adhered a navy blue cardstock panel which is slightly smaller. Next, I die cut a thin white frame to use as a decorative design element for my cluster of stamped images.

The images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers. For the tree branch sprigs I used three tones of green dye inks. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and arranged the images at the bottom of the card.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment from the Merry Mice set in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you all very Merry Christmas!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Fall/Winter Release • Winter Scenes

Hi everyone,

today I'm sharing a pastel holiday card using the Winter Scenes set. I love the rows of fir trees and little houses so much!

First, I started with the background by blending together the Distress Oxide Inks Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose, letting the colors fade into white. I added lots of tiny ink splatters with a paint brush.

Next, I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it with Copic Markers. This time I decided to color the trees like they were covered with snow. I used the coordinating die to cut out the scene and layered it on top of my ink blended sky.

I kept the design simple and stamped the beautiful sentiment from the Inside Greetings Christmas set in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder. Finally, I adhered a matching small enamel heart.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a gorgeous day!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Fall/Winter Release • Surfing Santa

Hello everyone,

today's card makes me giggle 😄 It features the Surfing Santa mini stamp set and I just love this cutie in his swim trunks!

Of course I had to create a fun little ocean scene using the palm tree and sandy island from the Tropical Scenes set. For the background, I picked the waves patterned paper from the Summer Splash Paper pack. I added some light bulbs (Gleeful Reindeer Stamps) to the palm tree and a small gift (North Pole Stamps) next to Santa. The clouds are included in the Comic Strip Everyday Dies set.

I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and added some details with a white gelly roll pen. To frame my scene, I die cut a window from white cardstock using the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies. I trimmed off the sides a bit and adhered the striped paper from the Holiday Cheer Paper pack behind it.

The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto blue cardstock. I white heat embossed it and used a speech bubble die from the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies set. Finally, I popped up the arch frame panel as well as some of the images with foam tape. The rest was adhered flat with liquid glue.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you're having an awesome day!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Fall/Winter Release • Quatrefoil Dies

Hi everyone,

today's festive holiday card showcases the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies which are perfect for a decorative background.

I used both dies (the stitched rectangle and the quatrefoil pattern) together and cut it from heavyweight white cardstock. I adhered a piece of warm gold glitter cardstock to my A2 card base and glued the quatrefoil die-cut on top. Some of the white inside pieces were inlaid back into the negative spaces.

Next, I die cut the flowers from the Window Quad Circle Dies set (and a mini flower which was a free with purchase die) to create three layered poinsettias. To keep the design simple, I only added a banner with a white heat embossed sentiment from the Inside Greetings Christmas stamp set.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
