Hi everyone,

today I have something special to share. I made a card with this year's Black Friday exclusive mini stamp set. It's called Snow One Like You and is part of the ongoing promo (find all details in the graphic below).

I decided to create a little winter scene for this sweet couple:

I started off with a white A2 top-folding card base. For the background, I did some ink blending with Distress Oxide Inks (Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio) and let it fade into white at the bottom. I die cut a snow hill using one of the curved Slimline Nature Border Dies and added Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to the stitched edge. I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder.

Next, I stamped the image as well as the birch trees (Bear Hugs) and the small hearts (Happy Hamsters) in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I cut everything out with the coordinating dies. The images and snow hill were adhered with liquid glue and foam squares. Finally, I added a white cardstock frame which I cut with the help of a rectangle die. I again used foam tape to create dimension.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy Black Friday shopping!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Holiday Release • Deck The Halls

Hello everyone,

do you love to decorate for Christmas? Today I'm featuring the Deck The Halls stamp set that comes with playful holiday ornaments that will make you smile.

I started off with a card base that is slightly bigger in size than a standard A2. The final card measures 4 3/8" x 5 5/8". I picked the knitted pattern paper from the All Is Bright 6x6 Paper pack as my background and trimmed it down. At the bottom, I stamped the sentiments (Retro Ornaments and Inside Greetings Holiday) in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. Then I attached the panel directly to the card front.

Next, I created a frame using the peppermint stripes paper. For more sturdiness, I adhered it to a piece of white cardstock before cutting out a 3 3/4" x 5" rectangle. I stamped the ornaments in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and pulled some silver string through the holes at the top which I secured with thin micropore tape at the back. I also added a little red pom pom to be the reindeer's nose.

To create some sprigs for my ornaments to hang on, I used the largest sprig from the Winter Greenery Dies set. I chose two shades of green cardstock and die cut several sprigs which I adhered with liquid glue. I spread them alternately across the top of my card by letting them overlap each other.

I attached the ornaments to the center of the card and sticked the string ends underneath the sprigs. Finally, I popped up the striped frame with foam strips.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Enjoy your day!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Holiday Release • Lazy Christmas

Hi everyone,

today I'm back with another holiday card showcasing the Lazy Christmas Stamps. These sloths are just the cutest!

First, I started off with a 4 3/8" x 4 3/8" card base and trimmed down a piece of white cardstock to 4" x 4". I ran it through my die cutting machine with one of the Layered Snowflake Frame Dies. The patterned paper that went behind the opening is from the All Is Bright 6x6 Paper pack. The sentiment was stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. To create a bit of dimension, I adhered the snowflake frame with foam tape.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I cut everything out with the coordinating dies. I used foam tape again to pop up my images. Only the christmas baubles and the holly & berries were adhered flat with liquid glue.

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Holiday Release • Chloe Number Dies

Hello everyone,

today I'm featuring the Chloe Number Dies which allow you to easily personalize a birthday card. I created the card for a sweet girl which will be turning 12 soon.

I started off with a white square card base that measures 4.75" x 4.75". I really like the color combo of the All Is Bright 6x6 Paper pack. Not only are these happy colors great for your holiday projects but they also work for other occasions as well. I trimmed the striped paper to a 4.5"x4.5" size and adhered it to the card base.

With one of the Scalloped Tag Square Dies and the partial die cutting technique I created a scalloped square without the top hanger piece. I stamped the sentiment from the Inside Greetings Birthday set in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. Then I adhered the white scalloped square to the center of my card using foam tape.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I picked the peeking cat and the big gift from the Christmas Critters set as well as the stack of gifts included in the Lazy Christmas set. I also added the small single gift (Holiday Express) and the heart balloon (Penguin Pals). All images were colored with Copic Markers and I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I assembled my little birthday scene by adhering the images with liquid glue. Finally, I die cut the numbers from glitter cardstock and put them on top of the red gift.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you have a fabulous day!
