Happy Home – Sunny Studio

I’m back with another card using Sunny Studio stamps.

This week the Design Team have been using the Happy Home stamp set. I stamped a row of houses onto some X-press It Blending card and then coloured them with Copic Markers. I fussy cut around the images to create a panel of houses. I sponged in a blue background with Salty Ocean distress ink and then popped up the front panel with some foam squares.

Snow Much Fun – Jane’s Doodles

Jane's Doodle Banner

I’m back with another card for Jane’s Doodles and I just had to create a card using the adorable mice from the Winter Wishes stamp set. At the moment the stamp set has sold out, but you can pre-order it as they will be arriving in the store next week.

I created my own mask and used distress inks to make some snow banks. The mice and the tree are coloured with Copic Markers.

It is hard to tell, but I spritzed the blue background with some Perfect Pearls and it has a lovely shimmer to it. These mice look like they are singing Christmas (or is that Christmouse?) carols. Such cute little critters!

Teacher Thank You – Sunny Studio

If you are looking for the Jane’s Doodles Blog Hop, go here.

Today I’m popping in with a card and tag that is up on the Sunny Studios Blog using the School Time stamp set. Being a teacher myself I know that little cards and gifts are very much appreciated, as it is certainly not just a 9-3 job.

SS Teacher Thank You | Marion Vagg

I found these little treat tubes at my local discount store and they were perfect to put large Jaffas in (orange flavoured chocolate if you hadn’t heard of these before – one of my favs). I love the shiny apples – some Wink of Stella brush glitter pen and a coat of Glossy Accents.

And because I think all the characters in this set are cute, I couldn’t leave the snowman out – so I gave him a card all to himself, drinking a hot cup of chocolate with marshmallows! Both cards use sentiments from another Christmas set called Warm Wishes.

Merry Christmas tags – Jane’s Doodles

It’s starting to feel a little bit like Christmas on my blog today, with these fun tags using some Jane’s Doodles stamps. Christmas will be here before we know it, so I am getting in nice and early! These were really quick and easy to make – I think I may need to make some more experimenting with other colours.
