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 🙂

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.

Hello. Today I have a fun little tag to share with you using some Sunny Studio stamps which is also over on the Sunny Studio blog. I’ve used the Harvest Happiness stamp set and with a little bit of masking and creative imagination, I’ve turned the turkey from the set into a chicken.

I hand drew the chicken’s combs and added a bow tie as well. I had to mask off the little bit of skin hanging down from the turkey’s beak (called a snood I discovered) with a teeny tiny mask. I also masked off a part of the sentiment to just make it say I Love You.

My little scene is coloured with Copic markers.

I hope I have given you some inspiration and maybe you will look at some of your sets and find an unintended way to use them.
