Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm back with another example of how you can find inspiration among your cards/projects. Last week, I showed you that you can create the same background (or almost) on two cards but have different images and different themes on each card. Well, for today's card, I was inspired by the Winter Love Birds card I shared at the beginning of February, I really enjoyed making that card, and thought how nice it would be to recreate it using die cuts only. Challenge accepted :)

So, just like the other card, I started off by creating a cloudy snowy sky on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I used lost shadow and hickory smoke oxide inks along with a cloud stencil from my stash to make that sky, and then added texture to make it less flat. I mixed some hickory smoke oxide ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters all over my panel, and then did the same with black soot oxide ink and with copic opaque white ink.

I set my panel aside to dry, and die cut all my bits and pieces out of different colored cardstock. Here is the detailed list of the die sets I used:

• Tree Branch: branch, leaves
• Build A Birdhouse: birdhouses, birds, pole
• Botanical Backdrop: snowflakes
• Sweet Treat House Add-On: bow
• Little Birdie: nest coordinating die

I added a little bit of shadows on all my pieces using oxide inks, stamped my "Sending winter hugs" greeting from Holiday Hugs in black on my panel, and then assembled and stuck everything using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

Once everything was nicely arranged on my panel, I added a few details to finish my card: a Snowflake Polymer Clay Confetti in the center of each snowflake, a black pearl on each bird for the eyes, and three white dots in the center of each flower using white nuvo drops. 

And that's it! I really love how this card turned out, and I hope that you like it too. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Fabulous Flamingos Cards with Marie Marco

Hello Crafty Friends, Marie here! Summer is here and I'm happy to be back on the blog sharing two cards featuring Sunny Studio's Fabulous Flamingos Stamps. This stamp set is super cute and perfect to give your cards and crafty projects all the tropical summer time vibes! 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Fabulous Flamingos Tropical Themed Card by Marie Marco (featuring Botanical Backdrop Dies)

My first card features two adorable flamingo friends in a moonlit setting surrounded by lush green tropical foliage created using the Botanical Backdrop Die. To create this card, I started by die cutting an A2 sized card base from 110 lb. heavyweight cardstock paper. Then taking an A2 sized teal colored cardstock paper, I ink- blended the edges with Distress Ink in the colors Uncharted Mariner and Chipped Sapphire. After letting the inked edges dry, I used a sun rays stencil to create the moonlight with white Distress Ink in the color Picket Fence. I also added some white paint splatters to mimic tiny stars. I then attached the teal paper to my card base panel using tape adhesive.

Next, I stamped my images onto watercolor paper using Distress Ink in the color Antique Linen and colored my images using Faber- Castell WaterColor Pencils. I cut out the images using the Fabulous Flamingos Dies. To create the frame, I die cut two botanical frames out of Bristol Smooth cardstock paper. I ink blended the frames using a combination Sour Apple and Field Day Dye Ink From My Favorite Things. I cut out the vines from one of the frames and added it to my main frame to create a lush and full look. I cut a portion of an A2 sized Vellum paper and die cut the top using a waves die. I ink blended the edges with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink to mimic water. 

I then attached the vellum to the botanical frame using tape adhesive and lined the edges of my frame with skinny foam tape adding dimension to the scene. I attached the frame to the card base and also added the two flamingos to the card placing their feet behind the vellum so it looks like they are in the water. I heat embossed my sentiment onto thick black cardstock and cut it out using a banner die.  Finally, I added some Mix Red Heart Drops for a cute finishing touch!

My next card is a very tropical pop- up birthday box card. I used the Scalloped Box Card Pop-up Die from Lawn Fawn. I also used tropical elements like the palm trees, flying birds, and clouds from Sunny's Tropical Trees Background Die. To start, I stamped all my images with Antique Linen Distress Ink onto watercolor paper and used watercolor pencils to color them all. I then die cut all the flamingos using their corresponding dies. I die cut all the box card components from bristol smooth cardstock. For the outside of the box, I inkblened everything in a beautiful purple shade with Distress Ink in Seedless Preserves. 

For the background I used Seedless Preserves and blended it into the lovely bright orange Dried Marigold Distress Ink to create a tropical sunset. I then die cut the clouds and lightly inked the bottom edges with Seedless Preserves . I cut the flying birds from black cardstock paper. I inked the palm trees using Vintage Photo Distress Oxide for the base and Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Rustic Wilderness for the Tops. For the inside box panels, I used a combination of Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink and Vintage Photo Oxide Ink to create the sand mounds.  Vellum Paper was perfect for creating waves. I inked the vellum using Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink, and a white gel pen to create some texture.

For the outside panels, I used a pretty orange striped pattern paper from Sunny Studio's Dots & Stripes Pastel Paper. I also used the super fun Loopy Letters Dies to create my punny Birday Sentiment. I didn't have room to spell out Bird-Day, so I had to shorten it. For the rest of my sentiment, I used VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and stamped them on some pink cardstock and cut them out using basic banner dies. I assembled my box card using double sided tape adhesive and liquid glue and presto, my super cute Summer Birthday Card is finished! 

Thank you so much for joining me today! I really loved creating with this stamp set! These flamingos are just irresistibly cute and so fun to color and best of all they are pink!

Summer Greenery Cards with Marieke and Marine

Hello Sunny Studio friends, Marieke here. Today I hope to inspire you with a card using die cuts only. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Summer Greenery Summer Themed Card by Marieke Slaats (featuring Sunshine Word Die)

First off I trimmed a white rectangle, splattered some black paint and let it dry. Die cut the Summer Greenery Dies out of a teal, blue and green cardstock. Ink Blended them using inks and splattered some water, paint or ink onto them.

Glued the leaves onto the rectangle and trimmed off what was hanging off the rectangle. Cut a white top fold basecard. Added the pattern panel onto the base card using foam tape.

Die cut the Sunshine Word die four times out of black cardstock and glued them together onto the card. Stamped the sentiment out of the Sending Sunshine stamp on white paper. Trimmed it to a small banner and added it to the card using foam tape. Finished off the card adding some clear sequins.

------------------------------------------

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm back with a new shaker card, I'm quite obsessed with them at the moment, they're so fun to make! 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Summer Greenery Summer Themed Card by Marine Simon (featuring Fabulous Flamingos, Stitched Arch Dies)

This new card features some beautiful leaves from the Summer Greenery die set, but before cutting them, I started off by stamping two cute flamingos, as well as some flowers and tropical leaves from Fabulous Flamingos that I colored using my alcohol markers.

Next I created a simple distress oxide ink background. I divided a 5,5 x 4,25 inches bristol panel in three sections using washi tape: sand at the bottom, ocean right above it, and then sky at the top. For the sand section, I used antique linen + vintage photo + copic opaque white ink, for the ocean I used salvaged patina + peacock feathers, and for the sky I used worn lipstick + festive berries + copic opaque white ink.

I set my oxide ink panel aside to dry, and created the panel that goes on the front. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches navy blue panel, as well as a bunch of leaves out of the same paper using the Summer Greenery die set. I attached the leaves on the panel using liquid glue, added copic opaque white ink splatters all over the leaves and then cut a window out of the panel using a Stitched Arch die.

I attached my window panel on a piece of acetate, added foam strips at the back all along the arch and on the sides as well, poured a bunch of clear jewels inside the window and then stuck the oxide ink panel to the foam strips to complete my shaker panel.

Next I cut more Summer Greenery leaves, as well as two Spring Greenery leaves out of different colored cardstock. I also created a flower using dies from the Botanical Backdrop die set, I arranged all those pieces at the top of the arch window to create a cluster, and attached them all using foam squares and glue dots, as well as the flamingos, flowers and leaves at the bottom of the arch.

For my sentiment, I white heat embossed the banner from Little Birdie on vellum, as well as the "Happy summer" phrase from Fabulous Flamingos inside of it, and attached it below the flower & leaf cluster using clear foam squares.
