Guest Designer Spotlight: Woolly Friends Cards with June Helsen

Hello crafty friends! It's June here, and I was lucky enough to be invited to be a guest designer for the latest release, yay! Today I'll be sharing 2 cards I made using my favorite products from the new release, along with some other fun older Sunny Studio products. Let's get started!

My first card features a little scene I made using the new Woolly Friends stamps. These were so much fun to color. I loved adding a bit of texture to the sheep's wool and coloring the fence to look like wood!

I cut the largest of the Fancy Frames Oval dies and used both pieces to frame my scene. I backed my frames using a piece of cardstock on which I did some soft ink blending. I used Salvaged Patina and Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide and went in with a very light hand so the backdrop wouldn't be too distracting. I also added some ink splatters with Peacock Feathers and Rustic Wilderness.

My favorite small detail of the Woolly Friends stamps is the scripty 'ewe' that's included in the dies. I just knew I had to use it, so I picked a sentiment I could use it with. For my background, I decided to play into the sheep theme even more and use the Cable Knit embossing folder along with the Loopy Rectangle Frame. I cut both from different shades of blue cardstock and did some ink blending on the background after embossing. I also added some white ink splatters on top for some more detail.

I love how this one turned out, so for my second card, I wanted to use the same stamp set and loopy frames, but in a totally different way. This time, I combined it with the Clucky Chickens stamp set to create a farm-themed card. I kept my colors very neutral and warm-toned, so it gives it a bit of a vintage look. 

I kept my background very plain and simple this time. Just some light-handed ink blending using Antique Linen and Tea Dye Distress Oxide, and some ink splatters using Vintage Photo. I cut my frame from brown cardstock, matching the images I colored and my splatters. I used a different sentiment this time, but also used the scripty 'ewe' of course! 

And those are my 2 cards as a guest designer! I had such a fun time making these cards and playing around with some of the new products. I wish you all a very creative weekend.

Woolly Friends Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing this Easter card featuring the new Woolly Friends stamp set.  

For this card, I started by creating a soft background on watercolor paper, painting a few gentle patches with watercolor. While that was drying, I die-cut the Wicker Basket dies twice, once from light brown cardstock and once from dark brown, to layer behind the light one for added depth. I also die-cut a Mini Grass Border to place between the path and the fence in the background, as well as some small tufts of grass from the Wicker Basket dies, which I blended with green ink.

Next came the stamping. I created the background by stamping the fence from the Woolly Friends stamp set and the stone floor from the Sprawling Surfaces stamp set, then colored them and adhered them to the (now) dry watercolor background.

Now it was time to fill the basket. I chose two adorable sheep from the Woolly Friends set, adding bows around their ears and necks, and give one a little easter egg basket to make them even cuter.  Then I filled the basket further with flowers from the Spring Garland stamp set, as well as Easter eggs from the Bunnyville and Woolly Friends stamp sets to complete the easter scene.

Finally, I adhered everything to the card base and stamped the large Easter sentiment also from the Bunnyville stamp set in green onto the background for the finishing touch.

Card done, ready to send joy! Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.

Spring Garland Card with Yan

Hi friends! It's Yan here, and I'm excited to share a nostalgic little spring card featuring the delicate Spring Garland Stamps. These lovely florals and leafy garlands are perfect for creating a cheerful spring design, and keeping the card flat lets the soft colors and details really shine.

To start, I stamped the beautiful bouquets from the Spring Garland Stamps onto watercolor paper using VersaFine Clair Ink-Pinecone. I then brought them to life with soft watercolor, letting the delicate petals and leaves bloom with gentle spring colors. Once the watercolor was completely dry, I added a touch of gold paint splatter to give the card a little shimmer and texture.

Next, I heat embossed a sweet sentiment from the stamp set onto vellum paper and used the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies to cut it out neatly. Finally, I assembled all the elements using double-sided tape, keeping the design simple and flat while letting the florals and soft spring colors shine.

I hope this little spring card brings a touch of nostalgic joy to your day!

Radiating Circles Die Focused Card with Tina H

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and today we are creating a fun Easter card! The design is based upon one of the beautiful Radiating Circles which I turned into a frame by using a smaller Stiched Circle Small die.

I went with a square card base, which was covered with a soft yellow background paper from my stash and cut with the largest of the Scalloped Square 1 Small dies. After glueing both parts together with liquid glue, I started working on my scene. The inside piece which was left from creating my circle frame was turned into a soft yellow sky with an ink and stencil from my stash. 

Next, I selected all my images, three adorable bunnies and egg from Bunnyville, the fence from Woolly Friends and two more eggs from Chubby Bunny. I used bright Spring tones for my Copic coloring.

I wanted to do something special for the sentiment and decided it would be fun to have a tag with the ‘Happy Easter’ message (Woolly Friends) tied to the frame with a yellow string. After stamping the words to the tag (Window Quad Square) with Versafine Onyx Black ink, I added this piece to the circle.

Next, I adhered a white grassy border and the blue fence to the back of the frame. I glued the sky circle to the card base before mounting the frame with foam strips. Then I placed the sweet bunnies and Easter eggs to complete the scene. A few Champagne Clear Jewels were the perfect bling for this card.

And that finishes my project, thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Icing Rectangle Frame Die Focused Card with Marieke

Hello all, Marieke here. I'm back again with my weekly post for Sunny Studio Stamps. Today I hope to inspire you with a card that I made using the Icing Rectangle Frame Dies.

Cut a top fold white base card and inked up the bottom using Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks. Added a piece of pattern paper to the back. Die cut a Kraft rectangle and inked it up using Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. Chopped off the corners using a corner punch and added a darker piece of cardstock behind it.

Die cut the Icing Rectangle Frame Dies out of white cardstock and adhered it to the "cookie". Heat set the sentiment on some lila cardstock and trimmed it to a banner. Die cut the word "Cookie" out of pink cardstock using the Sydney Alphabet Dies.

Used Copic Colors:
Black - N8, N6, N4, N3, N2
Penguin White - E53, E51, E50
Orange - YR27, YR23, YR21

Stamped the images Passionate Penguins, Baked with Love and the Kiddie Pool Stamps. Colored them up using my Copic markers and cut them by hand and with the matching Baked with Love and Kiddie Pool Dies.

Have a wonderful day!
