Good evening (or morning depending on where you live!) I have another Sunny Studio card to share with you which uses the Santa’s Helpers stamp set, the coordinating dies and the popular Fishtail Banners dies.

All the images are coloured with Copic Markers and I attached the banner to the card front with my sewing machine. A great Christmas stamp set for any animal lover!

Short and sweet from me tonight. Have a great night (or day). I’m off to bed!

Happy Friday! School is out and I’m on holiday for 6 weeks! Hopefully I will be able to catch my breath now. The last month has just been a whirlwind of activity.

Well today I have a Sunny Studio card to share with you using another one of Mendi’s cute penguin sets called Snow Kissed. For something a little different I decided to create a window card (but I always find these so hard to photograph!) To create the window, a partially die cut a circle and then created the flat bottom with my craft knife and a ruler.

The penguin was stamped and then die cut with the Snow Kissed dies. I made the window just big enough so that I could secure the penguin both at the top and bottom.

For a subtle pattern on the card front, I stamped the snowflakes stamp in Versamark ink and added some snowflake dies from the Snow Kissed die set.

The image is coloured with Copics markers and I added a white piece of paper to the inside of the card, so that when it is closed, white peeks through.

That’s all from me today. Thanks for visiting,

Happy Friday! Friday means I have a new post up on the Sunny Studio blog. This week the DT have been using the Bundled Up stamp set and the Bundled Up dies – a very fun and adorable penguin set. You can add a number of winter themed accessories to your penguin. The hardest thing was choosing which accessories to use!

The background was created by white heat embossing the snowflakes onto blue card stock. This cute penguin pair (coloured with Copic Markers) look like they are having lots of fun at the snow 🙂

Oh my! How this year is flying by. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you using some gorgeous Penny Black products. Lots of ink blending on this one – with three of my most favourite Distress inks – Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmon and Mustard Seed. Once my panel was inked, I flicked it with some water and a paintbrush and dabbed it with a dry cloth to create the spatters.

I then die cut the Penny Black Twirl Tree three times and adhered these together with some spray adhesive. I also die cut the Penny Black Hello Christmas sentiment three times from white card stock and adhered these together. The celebrate sentiment is from the Holiday Snippets stamp set.

Penny Black products used:
Holiday Snippets Stamp set 30-3
Hello Christmas die 51-164
Twirl Tree die 51-091

Well I am on the home straight now. Just over one week until school breaks up and then I have 6 weeks of school holidays to look forward too. Summer officially kicks off today and it sure is a hot one! Got to love summer!

Hi there. I’m popping in super quick with a card that I have over on the Sunny Studio blog. It uses the Santa’s Helpers stamp set and its coordinating dies.

I coloured the image in with Copic Markers and created a thicker sentiment by layering 4 ‘Merry’ words together.

Short and sweet from me today. I’m off to bed to get some sleep as it’s been a long day.

I have a couple of Jane’s Doodles cards that I haven’t shared here on my blog yet. My life has been SUPER crazy busy the past month – but hopefully things can start to get back to normal soon (but who am I kidding – both my kids have their birthdays in December, school finishes soon so I’m finalising school reports, end of year activities, Christmas is looming….you get the idea. Bring on January I say :))

First up, I have a one layer card using the Winter Wishes stamp set – which is one of my favourite Jane’s Doodles set. I now know why I don’t make one layer cards very often as I’m not a fan of masking. I like the idea, but the actual practise of it is another thing. But it was fun to give it another go. Laura Bassen I take my hat off to you. You are the one layer queen in my eyes!

Next up is a a sentiment-less card using the Doodle Flower and Doodle Flower II stamp sets. This card was really quick to make and could be used for a variety of occasions. I could even add a sentiment really easily if I wanted too. I stamped the images in various colours of inks and then coloured some of the images in with a matching Copic marker colour.

Thanks for stopping by today,
