Making an Autumn Stamp Work for Christmas

Hey guys! I hope your week is off to a great start! Today, I’m sharing a card I made as a Guest Designer for Sunny Studio Stamps.

This stamp is actually from the Autumn Garland Stamps, but I wanted to show you how it could also be used for a Winter card!!  

Do you ever have those days where you don’t really feel like crafting, but you want to do something in your craftroom?  That’s what happened to me!  I just decided to stamp out this beautiful garland, put on a show, and use my Copics to color it in!  I added some highlights and dots with a white Gelly Roll pen.

I die cut the image out using the Autumn Garland Dies.  Then, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3.5”x4.75”.  I added a sentiment from the Inside Greetings Seasons Stamps directly onto my white cardstock.   The background paper is from the Joyful Holiday Paper.  I trimmed this paper down to 4”x5.25” and glued it directly to my card base.  I used 3D foam tape to adhere my white cardstock to my patterned paper.  Then, I used 3D foam squares to adhere my garland to the white cardstock.  


I added a few sequins on the left to help balance out the entire card.  Here’s another photo of the finished card!

A Cozy Card for Christmas

Hey there, crafty friends!  Today, I’m sharing a card I made using some fun products from the Sunny Studio Stamps New Release!  I had so much playing with these products and creating some festive Holiday cards!


To create this cozy little card, I die-cut the pieces from the Decorative Door Dies.  I also die-cut the wreath, bow, trees, and Christmas lights from the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Dies.  I love how versatile these die sets are!  If you missed my Sunny Studio’s 9th Birthday Celebration Blog Hop card using them on a Halloween card, you can view that blog post here!

I used Copic markers to color all of my pieces.  I love using Copic markers – as opposed to colored cardstock or ink blending – because I feel like I can give the pieces more depth this way.  I place the pieces on a piece of scrap paper so that I don’t ruin my workspace!

Next, I stamped my cozy little friends from the Toasty Hugs Stamp Set in my MISTI.  I colored them in with Copic markers and then cut them out using the coordinating dies with my Gemini Jr.


For my background, I used a piece of paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper pack.  The “house” is a piece of cardstock ink blended with Catherine Pooler Melon Ice ink.

I stamped my sentiment from the Inside Greetings Seasons Stamps with black ink on the house.  (PS, I LOVE this stamp set!  All of the sentiments are just perfect for the inside or the front of a holiday card!)

You’ll see I also added a few snowflakes inked up with Catherine Pooler Cummerbund ink.  I borrowed these from the Snowmen in Sweaters Stamps.  Of course, I needed to add a few sequins as well – no card is complete without them!

That’s my adorable holiday card to share with you today!!  I  hope you enjoyed it and I hope you find some time to get crafty today!


Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I hope the rest of your week is amazing! Xx, Amanda
