Love Birds Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here sharing a birthday card made using the cute Love Birds set!

I started off by trimming a piece of pink patterned paper, from the Classic Sunburst Paper to 5,5 x 4,25 inches, the sunburst patterned side up and adhered it to my A2 size card base.

From white card stock I die cut out the largest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies and ink blended with gray ink, darker at the bottom to fade to light gray and finally white.
I finished it off by splattering gold watercolor to it!

I then stamped all the images I wanted to feature from the Love Birds Stamps set and the Afternoon Tea Stamps set, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol ink friendly paper and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below. Next, I die cut out the colored pieces using the coordinating Love Birds Dies, and the Afternoon Tea Dies.

Copic colors used:
Birds: RV52/55/66, V000 and YR21/24/27
Teacups: RV52, V000
Flowers: G94, YG61/63, YR21/24/27, C0/1

As I wanted my greeting to coordinate with the gold watercolor splatters, I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Big Bold Greetings Stamps set with VersaMark Watermark ink, added gold embossing powder from my stash and heat embossed it with my heat gun. I then cut it out using the coordinating Big Bold Greetings Die. I used liquid glue to adhere it to the Scalloped oval.

Lastly, I added foam dots to the back of the die cut birds, teacups and flowers for dimension and adhered them to the card.

Thanks for stopping by! Wishing you a happy and colorful day!

Silly Sloths Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you today and I have a sweet birthday card to share with you showcasing the adorable Silly Sloths set. So let’s get started.

I stamped the images from the Silly Sloths Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Silly Sloths Dies to die cut them out. The Jungle Vines Dies were used to die cut a couple of tropical leaves out of the same Neenah white cardstock. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Sloths: E40/41/42/43/44, R20
Branches: E21/23/25/27
Leaves: YG01/03/25/17
Flowers: Y08/19, RV10/21/13/14

For the background, I used Spun Sugar and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend a background onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. The second largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Window Dies was used to die cut a window out the center of a piece of white cardstock to create the white frame.

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Have a slothsome birthday” sentiment from the Silly Sloths Stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used the banner die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies to die cut it out.

The colored images, sentiment and white frame were adhered to the card front with a combo of liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25” x 5.5”).

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. Be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Sweet As Can Bee Cards with June Helsen

Hello everyone, it's June Helsen again with some new cards using the latest release! I'm so happy I was invited as a guest designer for this release, because it has one of my favorite things in it: bees! Well I don't like actual bees, but when it comes to stamps I LOVE them! So that counts.

The first card I created combines the new Sweet As Can Bee stamp set with an older one, Holiday Hugs. It's always so great when you can use your holiday sets year round by making some adjustments, and this one is perfect for that. A bear with a striped scarf? Isn't that the perfect image to use together with these bees and their pot of honey? 

I made a background using the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal and the Diagonal and Straight Stripes stencils. These 2 layer perfectly to create a summery plaid pattern with lots of texture. I framed my scene using the largest of the Fancy Frames Rectangle dies. I tucked the bear and bee trails into the frame, but layered the honey dipper and pot on top so it looks like the bear is coming out of the frame.

I finished my card by adding one of the sentiments from the Sweet As Can Bee stamp set. I always love it when a sentiment has a matching die, so I just had to use the 'Honey Bee'!

My second card is equally as colorful and uses the same bees, this time with a honeycomb instead. I cut a square from the light green woodgrain paper that's in the Amazing Argyle Paper Pack and cut a smaller one from white cardstock, which I blended some green ink on. I also added ink splatters for some more texture. I framed that square using some of the Fancy Frames Square dies, one in brown and one in blush cardstock. I popped the frame up on some foam tape to make it stand out a bit more.

I created a scene with my Sweet As Can Bee stamped images where the bees are flying out of and around the honeycomb. I tucked some flowers around it to add another pop of color to match the frame. To finish my card, I used the same 'Honey' I used before in a different sentiment. 

I love how colorful these 2 cards turned out! I always love a good pop of yellow in a card design, so there might be a reason I always love bee stamps so much! I hope you enjoyed reading about my cards, and I hope you're all enjoying the newly released products equally as much. Bye everyone!

Mermaid Kisses Tags with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing some Pastel Mermaid shaker tags featuring Mermaid Kisses stamp set.

For each tag, I die-cut the Scalloped Square Large die set three times from colored cardstock. One piece was used as the background, one to create the frame by die-cutting the center with the Stitched Square die, and the last piece was used to neatly finish the ribbon on the back of the tag.

Before assembling the shaker, I first placed the frame onto the background so I could see exactly where to stamp the sentiment without it disappearing behind the frame. I stamped each sentiment in a matching shade to the cardstock color for a soft look.

Next, I adhered a piece of acetate behind the frame. I then added foam tape around the edges, filled the center with glitter, and attached everything onto the background panel to create the shaker element.

On the back of the tag, I adhered a piece of ribbon. To give the back a clean and finished look, I used the final die-cut scalloped piece to cover and secure the ribbon onto the back of the tag. That completed the base of the tags.

After that, I stamped the images from the Mermaid Kisses stamp set and colored them with my Ohuhu markers, added highlights with a white gel pen and adhered the mermaids onto the finished shaker tags.

I absolutely love how soft, sparkly, and magical these pastel mermaid tags turned out! Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.

Foxy Friends Card with Yan

Hi friends, it’s Yan here! Today I’m sharing a handmade card featuring the Foxy Friends Stamps. This project combines stamping, coloring, ink blending, and die-cut layering to create a fun woodland scene.

To begin, stamp the images from the Foxy Friends Stamps set onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the images with Copic markers, then die-cut them using the coordinating Foxy Friends Dies. 

COPIC COLOR:
Chicks: R30, Y02, Y11, Y15
Fox : E31, E35, E41, R30, YR65, YR68
Potted Tulips : B000, B12, RV10, RV11, RV34, Y02, Y15, YG03, YG63 

From there, I created the background by softly blending Distress Oxides in Worn Lipstick, Mowed Lawn, and Twisted Citron onto a separate piece of white cardstock, building a gentle, colorful base for the nature inspired card design.

To add the sentiment, I stamped the word “FOXY” in different colors onto white cardstock using the Balloon Alphabet Stamps, then used the coordinating Balloon Alphabet Dies to cut out each letter for a bold and playful look.

Finally, I die-cut a frame using the Rounded Rectangle Window Dies and assembled all the elements together with foam tape to build dimension, and completing the full scene as shown in the finished card.

I really enjoyed putting this card together, especially combining the soft ink blending with the playful alphabet sentiment. It’s always fun to see the scene come alive step by step. Thank you for stopping by today! I hope this tutorial gives you some inspiration for creating your own woodland themed cards. Happy crafting!
