Ribbon & Lace Border Die Focused Card with Yan

Hello all, Yan here!  Sometimes the simplest ideas can create the most fun results, especially when you start playing around with border dies.

For today’s project, I’m using the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies to create a custom background, paired with the adorable Party Pets Stamp set for a sweet focal point.

First, I die cut the straight stitched border die from several different colours of cardstock. Instead of using them individually, I mixed and arranged the strips like a little puzzle, then secured everything with double-sided tape. This is such an easy technique, but it instantly creates a bold and playful background—and the best part is that every combination looks a little different.

Next, I stamped the cute cat and balloon from the Party Pets Stamp set onto Neenah Solar White cardstock, coloured them with Copic markers, and cut them out using the Party Pets Dies.

COPIC COLOR:
Cat: E41, E43, R30
Balloon: B000, B12, R30, RV10, RV11, Y02, Y11

For the sentiment, I used the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies together with a greeting from the Party Pets Stamp set. This adds a soft focal layer that balances the busy background nicely. To finish, I adhered everything with foam tape for extra dimension.

This is one of those projects where the supplies really do the work for you—the border dies make it so easy to create something that looks detailed and layered, even with a very simple process. I love how many different backgrounds you can create just by changing colours and placement.

Hope this inspires you to try mixing your border die cuts in a new way!

Country Scenes Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and did you know that I am a big fan of coloring, especially with my Copics! If you are like me than you will also love the Country Scenes stamp and die set! These stamps do all the work for you and create the most stunning landscapes. You get three completely different looks and today I am using the ‘orchard’ stamp for my design.

I also love that this set has matching dies to make multi-layer scene building even more easier. Since these scenes can cover an entire card front, I choose an oval design for my project.

To make it easy on myself, I first stamped the scene on a piece of white card stock and then placed one of the Stitched Oval dies on top to select the best placement for my die cutting. While I had the dies out, I cut a second slightly larger white oval as a border piece for my design. I love a nice edge to frame my panels, so I cut another oval this time using the largest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 dies and a green  polka dots paper (Polka-dot Parade). 

My card base is also on oval, I used a smaller die from the Stitched Oval set and added the green and white oval panels with liquid glue. Of course, I needed a cute critter to add to my scene. Foxy Friends is one of my favourite sets and I thought it would be fun to have a sweet fox pick some apples. I used a little cart from this set and took a crate and apples from the Truckloads Of Love stamp. Next, I enjoyed coloring the images and scene with my Copics.

I could have added some clouds but decided to keep that part of the design simple to make space for a my sentiment which was taken from the Punny Apple Greetings. I love how perfect this goes with this scene!

After gluing the scene oval to the layered card base with liquid glue, I used foam tape to adhere my images and sentiment strip. A few sparkly Champagne Clear Jewels were scattered around the sentiment strip.

I am so looking forward to see which sweet scenes you are creating with this amazing set! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Monkey Business 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 Monkey Business.

For today's card I decided to create yet another Clean and Simple card. So I cut a top fold white base card and ink blended both corners using Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn. Splattered some green ink. Using the same green ink I stamped the branch out of Love Monkey directly on to the card.

Heat set the sentiments of Monkey Business using white embossing powder on some black cardstock. Trimmed them down into small banners.

Stamped the images out of Monkey Business, Love Monkey and Little Birdie. Colored them up using my Copic markers and cut them using the matching Monkey Business dies or cut them by hand.

Have a wonderful day!

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”).
