Hello everyone,

today's featured Bear Hugs stamp set is one of my all time favorites for sure! This time I created a slimline card and used three of the adorable images.

First, I started off with the card base made from lavender cardstock. I trimmed down a piece of gingham paper (Gingham Pastels 6x6 Paper) and matted it with dark purple cardstock.

To create three stitched scalloped frames for my images, I used the Fancy Frames Square Dies and die cut them from white cardstock. I also cut out three white squares to go behind the frames and applied some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink in the background.

Next, I stamped the bears in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered them to the squares.

For the custom sentiment, I cut the delicate 'hugs' word die included in the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies set from silver glitter cardstock. The accompanying sentiments were stamped in VersaMark Ink onto small turquoise cardstock strips and I heat embossed them in white.

Finally, I assembled the card and added a little silver glitter heart above the bears in the middle.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you have an awesome day!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Pristine Poinsettia and Winter Greenery Dies

Hi erveryone,

today's holiday card features the beautiful Pristine Poinsettia and Winter Greenery Dies that go perfectly together.

First, I created an A2 top-folding card base from light peachy pink cardstock. For the striped background, I combined the stitched rectangle mat (Frilly Frames Retro Petals Dies) with the diagonal stripes (Frilly Frames Stripes Dies) and cut it from white cardstock. I adhered it directly to the card base.

Next, I die cut the individual poinsettia layers three times from several tones of red cardstock. I assembled the sets and stacked them on top of each other. By rotating them a bit each time, I created a perfect multi-dimensional poinsettia. Finally, I die cut the center pieces from two shades of green cardstock and adhered them as well.

The greenery was die cut from aqua, dark teal and green cardstock. To build a pretty bouquet, I tucked the die cuts behind the poinsettia. I also added three gold heat embossed leaves from the Classy Christmas set. The Bear Hugs sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a small cardstock strip and I heat embossed it in white. I popped it up with foam tape and adhered three enamel dots to finish off my card.

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Holiday Release • Oval Dies

Hello everyone,

I'm sharing another holiday card today where I mixed and matched several fun products. The Scalloped Oval Mat 1 Dies and the Stitched Oval 2 Dies set the scene for the sweet Lazy Christmas sloth.

First, I created an A2 card base from white heavyweight cardstock. I die cut the peppermint stripes paper from the All Is Bright 6x6 Paper pack with the largest of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The scalloped oval was cut from teal cardstock. I die cut the stitched oval from white cardstock as well as from Subtle Grey Tones woodgrain paper. I trimmed the patterned paper and adhered it to the bottom. I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed them with silver embossing powder.

Next, I stamped the images from several sets (find them listed below) in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copics. I cut everything out with the coordinating dies. The fir tree was stamped in green and brown ink and I added Rainbow Pearls in matching colors as ornaments. Finally, I assembled my card by adhering everything with liquid glue.

Stamp sets and dies used:

Sloth: Lazy Christmas Stamps + Dies
Cookie plate: North Pole Stamps + Dies
Stack of gifts: Lovable Llama Stamps + Dies
Candy Cane, tree, sack (used as a pillow): Santa Claus Lane Stamps + Dies

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Snow One Like You

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!
