Sunny Studio + Studio Katia Blog Hop with Sale & Giveaways












Hello & welcome!  Today we are joining efforts with Studio Katia for a special collaborative blog hop.  Both teams are celebrating Summer time fun with colorful shaker cards using stamps from Sunny Studio and dies and embellishments from Studio Katia.  There are some fun prizes and a special sale too so make sure you read all the way to the bottom of this post for full details.

I was eager to play with Studio Katia's Stitched Creative Window die because I thought it would be the perfect compliment to our Oceans of Joy and Magical Mermaid stamps.  As soon as I saw it, I knew it would make a cute aquarium window!

For the inside shaker elements of my card, I combined two mixes from Studio Katia's Crystal Rainbow Fusion sequins and Iridescent Rainbow Seed Beads, separating out all the cool tones to compliment my scene.

I finished the card with a heat embossed sentiment stamped onto a banner from our Sunny Borders stamp set.

I have to make a birthday card for a 9 year old boy tonight and wish I had both, those stamps and the die. I'd TOTALLY be CASEing this card (and will be soon anyway...lol). Thanks for the inspiration! ~HUGS~
