Hi crafty friends, Sara here! Today I am really thrilled to be here, guesting for Sunny Studio again! I find their products really interesting and fun, and I know you think the same because you are here on their blog! For my guesting spot, I made three cards, using their recent Holiday release. So, let’s dive into the first one!
Look how cute are those snowmen from the Snowman Kisses Stamp set! I wanted to feature them all on my card and I had the idea to color their accessories using rainbow colors. What’s happier than rainbows?
I stamped them on some Neenah Solar White cardstock and then I colored them up with copics. It didn’t took a while, since they are almost white! I then die cut them using coordinating dies.
I then moved into the background, which I ink blended with rainbow colors too! I used some blending brushes, they work really well when blending from color to white. I then stamped the “Happy Holidays” sentiment from Holidays Greetings stamp set using black ink. I knew I wanted a white sentiment, but I used the black to create a sort of halo: in fact, using the stamping tool I slightly moved the sentiment and I white heat embossed it (twice). I also added a few of the snowflakes included in the Snowman Kisses stamp and I white heat embossed them too.
To complete the card, I added the four snowmen using a combination of liquid glue and foam tape, and I stamped on of the sentiment included in the same set at the bottom of the card. I cut the rainbow panel to 4”x5,25” and I matted it using a white A2 panel to complete my design. And here’s the finished result!
My second inspiration features the Penguin Party stamp set, which has the most adorable penguins ever! I created a 5,5”x5,5” square card, with a bold sentiment at the centre and many penguins around.
I stamped all the penguins on some Neenah Cardstock (it is my favorite one when I have to copic color) and I colored them all at once, it really didn’t take a lot. I then cut them with coordinating dies and let them aside while working on the rest of the card.
I white heat embossed the “Merry Christmas” words (from Holiday Greetings stamp set) on red cardstock: I really love those hand-lettered sentiments, and they have coordinating dies too. I usually stamp those kind of sentiments using colored ink on white cardstock, but I am glad I tried to use white on red cardstock because I really love the result!
I kept the background really simple: starting from a light blue cardstock (which measures 5 1/8”x 5 1/8”) I splattered some white acrylic paint and I let it dry. Then I started adding the sentiment and the penguins I had prepared.
I had too much empty space, and since I am a “more is better” cardmaker, I added some Majestic Clear Confetti and some White Snowflake Confetti. To finish off the card, I matted it with a 5,5”x5,5” white panel too.
And here’s my third and last inspiration, using the Snow One Like You stamp set and the Mini Mat & Tag 2 Dies. I remember when I saw this cute stamp last year.
I stamped the cute image on some Neenah cardstock and colored with copics. I created a mini scene on the tag (included in the Mini Mat & Tag 2 Dies), I used the trees from Here Comes Santa. I also decorated the tag with some of the greenery included in the Holiday Greetings stamp set.
I took a piece of Kraft Cardstock and I splattered some white acrylic paint. I then wanted to add a few snowflakes but when I looked into my stash I found the Snowflake Circle Frame Die, which has a gorgeous circle of snowflakes. And I cut it twice from my background, creating a lot of interest in my background panel.
I added the tag on the right side of the card, I added 4 small strips with the stamped sentiment on the left. I also matted the background with an A2 white panel. And here’s a finished result!
Thanks for stopping by! I really hope you have found my projects inspiring!
