Sunny Studio - Holy Night

Hello there, merry Christmas to those celebrating the holiday season!

I'm back with this lovely nativity scene showcasing the perfect stamp set for the occasion: Holy Night, which is also the very first Sunny Studio set I bought back in 2020 and introduced me to the brand. Feel welcome to check the two other Holy Night cards I made here and here.

I started off by cutting a 3-6/8" x 3-6/8" panel out of a Heroic Halftones blue pattern paper, I applied a little bit of prize ribbon distress ink to the edges and then a bit of chipped sapphire distress ink to darken my sky even more, mixed a few drops of liquid stardust with water and added sparkling splatters all over my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. Next I cut a panel as wide as the sky panel out of a Polka Dot Parade green pattern paper, turned it into a grass border using a Picket Fence die, applied mowed lawn and rustic wilderness distress inks to the edges, and then added white splatters. I cut a square panel out of white cardstock using the second largest Stitched Square die, attached my night sky panel using liquid glue and then the grass border using 1mm foam squares. I cut a scalloped panel out of a Classic Sunburst blue pattern paper, stuck my white panel to it using 1mm foam squares again, and finally attached my panel to a 4,5" x 4,5" white card base.

I stamped my Holy Night images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink, cut them all with the coordinating dies and then colored everything with my Ohuhu markers in a brown and neutral color palette. When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, attached them to my card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and then created the greeting. I white heat embossed "Holy Night" from Holy Night on vellum, cut it into a small circle using the second smallest Scalloped Circle Mat 1 die, and attached that circle to the card using dimensional transparent squares.

Pretty Pink Posh - Penguin Holder Winter Scene

Hello there,

I'm very happy to be back with this black & white winter themed card showcasing items from the Pretty Pink Posh November 2025 release: Penguin Holder and Winter Trees. I absolutely adore all the penguin products from this release, and those trees are sooo beautiful, I want to use them on all my cards now!

I started off with the background, cut a Pierced Snowflakes panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and covered it with hickory smoke oxide ink. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over my panel, I did the same with black soot oxide ink for contrast and the same again with brushed pewter mica spray for sparkles, and finally I turned this background into a snowy sky using the Snowfall stencil along with opaque white grit paste.

I cut another Pierced Snowflakes panel out of white cardstock, added the same details and texture as the ones I added to the snowy panel, and once dry, I used a Snowy Hill Border die to cut a wavy border out of my panel. I attached that border to my background panel using 1mm foam squares, and then moved on to the die cutting process.

I cut all the bits and pieces out of dark grey, light grey, white, silver glitter, black glitter, orange cardstock, and a snowflake pattern paper. Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Penguin Holder - penguin • Winter Trees - trees • Christmas Holder Additions - ear muffs, snowflakes • Christmas Bucket Additions - snowflakes • Valentine Bucket Additions - heart cheeks • Fall Mug Additions - scarf.

I added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters to the grey trees, liquid stardust to the white trees and snowflakes, and white splatters to the scarf.

I let everything dry, and then assembled all my pieces starting with the trees. I purposely shifted them a little bit to get silver glitter borders under each branch. I assembled the snowflakes using tiny pieces of 1mm foam squares in the center to add dimension. I put my cute Penguin Holder elements together, gave him a scarf, ear muffs, a pair of googly eyes and two glittery heart cheeks, added glossy accents to his beak and feet, and placed a large snowflake in his flappy hands.

Next I attached everything to my card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, starting with the trees in the back, next my Penguin Holder in the foreground, and then the snowflakes here and there.

I white heat embossed "Let it snow" from Let It Snow on black cardstock, cut it with the matching die and then attached it in the bottom left hand corner of my panel using foam squares again. And for the final details, I picked some snowflake confetti from the Winter Wonderland mix and glued one in the center of each snowflake.

Pretty Pink Posh - Winter Trucks

Hi there,

I'm back with this cute and fun winter card featuring trucks clearing the roads from snow, using different Pretty Pink Posh items to create a super cool and colorful scene.

I started off by cutting a Pierced Snowflakes panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and I knew that most of it would be covered, so I only colored the top using salvaged patina oxide ink. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters to the top of my panel, I did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles, and then added snowflakes using the Cascading Snowflakes stencil along with opaque white grit paste. When the paste was dry, I attached my panel to a white card base.

I cut two roads out of dark grey cardstock using a City Buildings die and added white splatters to both pieces. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel out of white cardstock, cut four Snowy Hill Borders out of it, and added liquid stardust splatters to each border.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock, white cardstock, holographic cardstock, silver glitter cardstock, and a light blue pattern paper. I added liquid stardust splatters to the white pieces, white splatters to the colored pieces, and when everything was dry, I assembled my elements using foam squares and liquid glue. The truck in the upper part is from Big Excavator, the one in the lower part is from Big Dump Truck, and I used Christmas Holder Additions and Christmas Bucket Additions dies to create the snowflakes.

I attached everything to my card: roads, snowy hills, piles of snow and snowflakes using foam squares and liquid glue. For my greeting, I white heat embossed "Winter Greetings" from Christmas Banner Greetings on purple cardstock, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greeting 1 die, and stuck it to the Big Dump Truck using 1mm foam squares. Finally, I picked three snowflake confetti from the Pastel Blizzard mix, and stuck a snowflake in the center of each large snowflake using liquid glue.

Sunny Studio - Frosty Poinsettias

Hello there,

I'm happy to be back with this bright and traditional Sunny Studio holiday card showcasing the Botanical Backdrop die set, which was originally not a Christmas themed set, but the flower dies reminded me of poinsettias, so I thought it'd be fun to create a holiday card with that set.

I started off by cutting everything I needed to make the card base. I cut two Botanical Backdrop leafy panels: one out of dark green cardstock, and one out of a Polka Dot Parade green pattern paper. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to both panels, and I did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles. Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches dark kraft panel, placed it inside my Woodgrain embossing folder, applied brown ink inside the folder on the opposite side of the panel, closed the embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine to create a nice tone on tone brown woodgrain texture, mixed vintage photo distress ink with water to add brown splatters all over my panel, and then cut a dark brown frame using the Tropical Trees die set. Next I attached all those elements to my Woodgrain background. I cut both of the Botanical Backdrop panels in pieces, stuck one leafy element at each corner of my Woodgrain panel using 1mm foam squares, attached the dark brown frame on top using liquid glue, and then stuck my panel to a kraft card base.

I gold heat embossed "Merry Christmas" from Season's Greetings on white cardstock, cut it with the matching die, attached it right in the middle of my panel using 1mm foam squares, and then cut all the bits and pieces: the poinsettias pieces are from the Botanical Backdrop die set, and the branches and greenery are from the Winter Greenery die set. Cut all those pieces out of colored cardstock, gold mirror cardstock and vellum, added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters to the poinsettia elements, and white splatters only to the greenery pieces, and then assembled the poinsettias using 1mm foam squares to give them a lot of dimension. When it was done, I stuck the poinsettias and greenery to my card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and liquid glue as well. And finally, I gave my card a frosty winter look by applying white stencil paste on most of the elements.

Pretty Pink Posh - Igloo Shaker Winter Scene

Hi there,

I'm glad to be back with this new winter themed shaker card showcasing products from the Pretty pink Posh November 2025 release. Working on that Igloo Shaker was super fun, I really enjoyed using vellum instead of the traditional acetate to make the window panel, I thought it would emphasize the frosty look of my card, I'm quite happy with how the whole scene turned out, and I hope that you like it, too!

I wanted to use stencil paste on my background so I started with it to give it time to dry while I would work on the other elements. So, I cut a Pierced Snowflakes panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock and covered it with hickory smoke oxide ink. I mixed black soot oxide ink with water and added black splatters all over my panel using a slim brush, I did the same with copic opaque white ink for a touch of brightness, the same again with brushed pewter mica spray to make my winter sky sparkle, and then I added snowflakes to my panel using the Cascading Snowflakes stencil along with opaque white grit paste.

While my panel was drying, I cut my Winter Trees out of dark grey, light grey, white and silver glitter cardstock. I added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters on the grey and white trees, let them dry, and then attached a cardstock tree to a silver glitter tree using liquid glue, shifting the trees a little bit to get sparkling borders under the branches. I also cut the pieces to build my Christmas Light Garland out of the same cardstock as the trees. I added liquid stardust splatters to each light, attached them to the white string using liquid glue, and then applied glossy accents to the lights to make them super shiny.

I created my Igloo Shaker following those steps:

1. I cut the Igloo Shaker frame out of holographic cardstock, cut a whole igloo out of vellum, added white splatters to that vellum panel, and once dry, attached it at the back of the holographic frame with liquid glue,

2. Still at the back of the igloo, I attached foam strips around the edges, following the curves, and also on each small section that divides the igloo,

3. I poured Black Tie shaker beads inside each section of the igloo, and peeled all the backing papers off the foam strips,

4. I cut another whole igloo out of dark grey cardstock, and attached it to the foam strips to totally close my Igloo Shaker.

Next I attached everything to my Cascading Snowflakes panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, starting with some Winter Trees in the back, my Igloo Shaker right in the middle of the panel and a tree on each side, and then the Christmas Light Garland on the igloo. My greeting is from Let It Snow, I white heat embossed it on black cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and finally attached it to the igloo using foam squares again.

Sunny Studio - Deck The Halls Cheerful Card

Hey there,

I'm so happy to be back with this bright and cheerful holiday card featuring decorative baubles from Deck The Halls, like a close-up of a Christmas tree.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them with the coordinating dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers. For the branches, I stamped them using a green dye ink first, next I used green markers to add more depth and make those branches more full, and then used a brown marker to color the middle of each branch. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Deck The Halls - baubles • Classy Christmas & Bells & Baubles - branches • Scenic Route - strings of lights.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the baubles using a white gel pen, added a dot of glossy accents to each light and to Rudolph's nose, I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters to the branches and then did the same with liquid stardust.

Next I cut a large Rounded Rectangle Mat panel out of a Joyful Holiday red gingham pattern paper, cut an opening out of it using the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die to turn it into a frame, added white splatters to that frame, and set it aside to dry. I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a panel out of a Very Merry green pattern paper, added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters to it, and once dry, I attached my images to it using 1mm foam squares, except for the strings of lights that I stuck using liquid glue.

I attached my red rounded frame using 2mm foam squares, next the panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel and then to a matching card base. For my greeting, I white heat embossed "Merry Christmas" from Bells & Baubles on black cardstock, cut those words using the matching dies, and attached them at the bottom of my panel using 1mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed "May the season fill your home with joy" from Cozy Christmas on black cardstock, cut it into a fishtail banner and then stuck that banner at the top of my card using 1mm foam squares again.

Sunny Studio - Happy Owlidays Shaker Tags

Hello there,

I'm back with a new set of holiday tags/ornaments featuring the super cute owls from Happy Owlidays, another set I've had for years but never used on a project, and it was fun to color those three beautiful wreaths and adorable owls.

I started off by creating my three shaker tags, they're all identical, and here are the different steps:

1. I cut a large Scalloped Tag Circle panel out of light brown woodgrain cardstock, and cut a opening out of it using a 2,5 inches circle die from my stash to turn my panel into a circle frame,

2. I applied vintage photo distress ink to the edges of my frame, mixed that same ink with water and added brown splatters to the frame, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink,

3. I cut a whole Scalloped Tag Circle panel out of acetate, attached it at the back of my frame and then attached foam strips all around the frame to create space for my shaker accessories,

4. I poured White Snowflake confetti, sparkling sequins and tiny sugar crystals inside the tag,

5. I cut a whole Scalloped Tag Circle panel again out of a Joyful Holiday red & white snowflake pattern paper, peeled all the backing papers off the foam strips, and attached my snowflake panel to totally close my shaker tag,

6. And to finish the back of my tag nicely, I cut one last Scalloped Tag Circle panel out of red cardstock, and stuck that tag panel at the back of my shaker tag using liquid glue.

Next I stamped my Happy Owlidays images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers. When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and then stuck them on each shaker tag using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

For my three greetings, I used the Brilliant Banner 4 die set, which matched perfectly the shape of my tags. I cut three front pieces and three back pieces out of red cardstock and white heat embossed "Happy Owl-idays" from Happy Owlidays on each front piece. Next I stuck each front piece to a back piece using 1mm foam squares, and then attached each banner at the bottom of each shaker tag using foam squares again.

Finally, I added a handle to each tag/ornament using twine with gold thread details, tied three bows using dark red ribbon and attached a bow at the top of each tag using liquid glue.

Pretty Pink Posh - Penguin Friends Shadow Box

Hi there,

I'm super happy to be back with this lovely Shadow Box featuring the super cute Penguin Friends from the Pretty Pink Posh November 2025 release, as well as dies and stencils from that same release. Love those adorable penguins, and it was fun to make them all match with blue accessories.

I started off by stamping my Penguin Friends on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, colored everything with my Ohuhu markers, and when the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

For the background of my Shadow Box, I die cut three Winter Trees out of dark grey, light grey and white cardstock, as well as silver glitter cardstock. I added copic opaque white ink splatters and liquid stardust splatters to the cardstock elements, and once dry, attached a cardstock tree to a silver glitter tree using liquid glue, shifting the trees a little bit to get glittery borders under the branches.

Next I worked on my Shadow Box and cut two panels out of white woodgrain cardstock. I kept one of those panels, and cut an opening out of it using the rectangle die from the set, and then created a super cute penguin pattern on both of them using the Layered Penguins stencils along with black soot, pumice stone, hickory smoke, rusty hinge, tumbled glass and broken china oxide inks. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters on both panels, I did the same with liquid stardust and then the same again with uncharted mariner oxide ink to remind the blue accessories on the Penguin Friends.

For the background, I cut a 4 x 3 inches panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, covered it with tumbled glass oxide ink, blended a little bit of broken china oxide on the edges, and then added snowflakes all over the panel using the Cascading Snowflakes stencil along with broken china oxide ink. And next I added the same textures as the ones I added to the Shadow Box panels.

I cut three basic insert pieces out of white cardstock using a Shadow Box die, used the wavy border die from the set to turn my three basic inserts into snowy inserts, and added liquid stardust splatters to each insert.

Next I used the scalloped rectangle die and the rectangle die from the Shadow Box die set to cut a frame out of navy blue cardstock, again to match with the blue accessories on the Penguin Friends. I assembled my Shadow Box, attached the wavy inserts and the snowflake panel using liquid glue, stuck the navy blue frame using liquid glue again, and then stuck all the images and trees on the inside and front of the box using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

I white heat embossed "Snow" from Let It Snow on black cardstock, cut it using the matching die and attached at the top of my box using an acetate strip. I also white heat embossed "Glad we're friends" on black cardstock, cut it into a wavy banner using a Banner Greeting 1 die, and finally attached that banner at the bottom of my Shadow Box using 2mm foam squares.
