Snow Kissed Skiing Penguins Christmas Card with Melissa

Hello everyone, Melissa here. Today I have a card to share with you using the Snow Kissed stamp set, one of my favorites! 
 

To create this card I first die-cut a circle out of white cardstock.  I then stamped the greeting at the top of the circle in some Versamark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I stamped the two penguins at the bottom and then masked them off so I could ink up the background. I added ink mostly to the outside of the circle and worked my way in getting progressively lighter. I removed the masks from the penguins and colored them with Copic markers. To finish off the card I added it to a white card base with some green patterned paper.


I hope you enjoyed the card for today.    Before I go, I wanted to share a little peek of some images from a new stamp set coming soon called Rain or Shine.  :)


Don’t forget to check back and see what the other creative team members have created this week! Thanks for stopping by!

Sharing Some Sunny Studio Spring Release Sneak Peeks

We've started to share sneak peeks for our Spring release over on Facebook, but I know not everyone is on facebook so I thought I would share our first three peeks over here on the blog as well.  :)

Up first is a set that was inspired by a little snail my 9-year old daughter drew.  I was so taken with the personality of her drawing that I asked if you would mind if I used him for a jumping off point for a spring set that together we named "Backyard Bugs".  I can't wait for you to see all the other fun images in this set!


Our next set is perfect for Easter and it's called "A Good Egg".  All the images and sentiments will play on the egg theme.  It's been a lot of fun to design with and I think you're going to love all the possibilities this set has to offer.  :)

Our last peek is called "Sending My Love" and is filled with with infinite possibilities.  I don't want to give it all away just yet, but there are lots of options to make Valentines as well as cards for everyday occasions.  If you love Bundled Up I think you're going to fall head over heals for this set!  :)


All these sets plus much more will go on sale the day after Christmas on December 26th so make sure to mark your calendars and save up your Christmas money.  ;) I will be back next week with some more peeks.

Big Hugs!

Sunny Saturday: Bundled Up Hats, Scarves & Mittens Winter Cards


Hello there!  I hope you are enjoying your Saturday!  Today I'm excited to share a beautiful card created by our talented customer Kimberly Rendino using our Bundled Up stamp set.



I had to giggle when I came across her card on instagram because it just so happens I had created a nearly identical card myself the previous week.   I think it's funny that we also both added dots to our background, hers with a Pico Embellisher and mine with some Stardust Stickles.  ;)

If that wasn't funny enough, I really got a really good chuckle when I received an email from Nina-Marie Designs sharing these adorable tags she created.  Instead of snowflakes, she stamped some cute little hearts to fill in the small spaces of her design and added highlights with a white gel pen.  I love that little detail!


You can see a wonderful video on how she created these on her YouTube channel HERE--I just love watching her work.  She used our popular Fishtail Banner dies to create the "V' along the bottom of her tag, using one to cut and another to emboss.  :)


These projects just go to show that great minds think alike, right?  I love the idea of stretching the stamp set to create a card without the penguin focal point. ;) 

I hope you have a wonderful time this weekend!  I can't believe how quickly Christmas is approaching already.  ;)

Bundled Up Penguin Cool Christmas Card with Marion

Hello, it's Marion here. Today I'm sharing a card using the super cute and adorable penguin set called Bundled Up and its coordinating dies. The great thing about this set is that you can have so much fun dressing these guys up with cute hats, scarves, mittens, ear muffs etc. 


The snowflakes in the background were heat embossed in white onto a blue card base. This created the perfect backdrop for this cute couple having fun in the snow.

Bundled Up Penguin Holiday Gift Tags with Elise

Hello! It's Elise again with some super cute and easy Christmas tags that feature the Bundled Up and Snow Kissed stamp sets and dies.



I starting by stamping and coloring the penguins with Prismacolor pencils and die-cutting them with the coordinating dies. I also stamped and colored the ice slab with the coordinating colors to give them a little bit of shading along the bottom edge. The images are also all attached with foam tape. This close up on the pink tag shows some of the details that I added to the penguins with a white gel pen.



I also added clear stickles on the ice slab, but it's hard to see in the picture. I finished the tag with some white ribbon and a twine bow in coordinating colors. These will look so cute on Christmas gifts!

Thanks for stopping by today, and don't forget to come back tomorrow to see some more inspiration! :)

Bundled Up in Blue Christmas Card with Audrey


Hello there!  Audrey here!  Today I have a watercolor card to share with you using the Bundled Up and Snow Kissed stamp sets!  

I watercolored a piece of Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor paper with my $5 Artist Loft watercolors from Michaels.  When it was dry, I added a decorative edge.  Then I stamped and fussy cut the penguin and his accessories from the Bundled Up stamp set, and the piece of ice from the Snow Kissed stamp set. 

It's a bit hard to tell in the pictures,  but I glittered the iceberg and it is so sparkly in real life!  I popped him up on the watercolor panel with foam tape, and stamped a few snowflakes around him, which are also included in the Bundled Up stamp set.  Finally, I stamped a sentiment from the Bundled Up set on a die-cut and popped that up with foam tape before adhering the entire panel to a white card base.


That's all for me today!  Be sure to stop back by tomorrow for lots more inspiration from the design team! :)

Bundle Up Winter Penguin Holiday Gift Tags With Heidi

Hello everybody! Welcome to the Sunny Studio Stamps blog!  It's Heidi here and I hope you are having a super nice day! This week we are introducing the "Bundle Up" stamp and coordinated die set.  I love this set--It's like playing with paper dolls and getting to dress them up.  You can customize the stamp image or even paper-piece them.  To showcase this adorable stamp set I made these Christmas tags. I hope you'll enjoy them!


I inked some white tags using distress inks and them added the snow using s stencil and embossing paste. I colored the stamped images using Copic Markers, then die cut them, dressed up the penguins using some liquid glue and then adhered the penguins to the tags using foam adhesive.


To finish the tags I attached some bows made of ribbon and some little jingle bells with twine.

The "Bundle Up" stamp set is available at the Sunny Studio Stamp Shop.  We are enjoying seeing your creations using our stamps, keep them coming using the #SunnyStudioStamp

Have a lovely day!
