Hello crafty friends! I am thrilled to be back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with two Christmas-themed cards using items from the latest release.

For my first card, I created a 8.5″ x 3.5″ one-layer slimline card featuring the adorable new Roly Poly Penguins Set.

I first stamped a rough draft layout of my card (see photo below) on a piece of scrap paper prior to actually stamping my actual card. I then used this rough draft and my MISTI to stamp and mask my images as I went. I used a piece of Gina K Designs Masking Magic Sheets to stamp my images onto before fussy cutting with a pair of scissors.

Once I was finished stamping and masking all of my images, I then added an ink blended background using Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink. I next removed my masking pieces and colored my images with Copic Markers. Lastly, I used a Sakura White Gelly Roll Pen to add some white “snow” dots on top of my images as well as stamped my sentiment from the Festive Greetings Stamp Set in the top left corner of my card.

Copic Colors Used:

• Warm White: 0, W00, W1, W3
• Cool White: 0, C00, C1, C3
• Black: W5, W7, W9
• Reds: R14, R35, R46, R89

For my second card, I used the new Merry Mocha Stamp and Die Set as well as the previously released Mug Hugs Set and Frilly Frames Stripes Dies. I once again stamped my images onto a sheet of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored them with Copic Markers (the reds and cool whites are the same colors as listed for the card above.) Prior to coloring the mugs, I added a snowflake to the front of each one and drew some patterned lines to the mugs from the Mug Hugs Set with a fine-tip black marker pen.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today and will check out this amazing release! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by!
