Mini Grass Border Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today we are creating a sweet Easter card featuring the Mini Grass Border dies. I combined these products with the adorable Big Bunny stamp and die set.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Mini Grass Border & Big Bunny Easter Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Bunnyville, Frilly Frame Dies, Happy Thoughts, Stitched Semi-Circle Dies)

Starting with a white card base I added a bright orange polka dot paper from Spring Fever that was cut with the border of the Frilly Frames Stripes die. I used that same die combined with the Mini Grass Border dies to create two grassy hills from a green sheet of the same paper pad (Spring Fever).

To complete the background scene, I pulled the largest of the Stitched Semi Circle dies and inked this piece with Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade. I adhered the background pieces to the card base with liquid glue and added the two grass borders with some foam tape.

For this card I mixed and matched the cute bunny with the Easter basket (Big Bunny stamp) with three big carrots from Bunnyville. I love how all these elements work so well together. All the coloring was done with my Copic markers in happy colors that would match my background elements.

Next, I tucked the bunny in the grass border and noticed that the handle of the handle of the Easter basket was too high for this design. So, I just cut it off and the basket still looks adorable! I added all my elements to the background adding dimension where needed.

The sentiment was selected from the Happy Thoughts set and stamped onto a small white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink. To complete this fun project, I sprinkled a few Crystal Clear Jewels onto the card.

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Spring Garden Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am featuring the fun Spring Garden dies! This set includes a variety of cute flowers and all the tools a gardener would need. I decided to go for a pastel Easter card, combining the dies with two adorable bunnies from Bunnyville. They are sized perfectly to fit inside the watering can and flowerpot!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Spring Garden Die Focused Easter Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Bunnyville, Stitched Arch Dies, Frilly Frame Dies, Mini Grass Dies, Picket Fence Dies, Happy Thoughts, Winter Greenery Dies)

I started with a white card base and a purple flower frame made from a sheet of the Flirty Flowers papers. After cutting a panel with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace die, I used the largest of the Stitched Arched dies.

We are creating a little flower garden scene, so I also made two grassy borders with one of the Mini Grass Border dies and inked them with Distress Oxide Lucky Clover. Next, I pulled out the Picket Fence die. I love how the white of the fence gives extra dimension to the grass portion of this card. I kept my background fairly neutral with some soft yellow clouds (Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade and a cloud stencil from my stash). The two bunnies from Bunnyville where colored in grey tones with Copic Markers, and I added some details with a white gel pen.

Then it was time for a bunch of die cutting, I used a sheet of white Neenah paper and did my ink blending in happy Spring colors (Distress Oxide Squeezed lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo, Wilted Violet, Lucky Clover).

After assembling the garden tools and flowers with some liquid glue, I arranged all the elements on the card panel. Next, I decided where I would stamp my sentiment from Happy Thoughts in Versafine Onyx Black ink. After gluing the cloud panel to the card base, I added the grass borders and the fence. Next, I popped up the flower frame with foam tape. Then I added all my garden elements and bunnies. To create a garland for the top of the arch I used flowers from the Spring Garden dies and some purple leaves made with one of the Winter Greenery dies.

A few Crystal Clear Jewels were added for some fun bling. Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Treat Bag Topper Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I wanted to show you the versatility of the Treat Bag Topper die! Yes, it can be a topper, but this set has extra shapes that make it so great. I created a card and matching envelope to highlight these options. As I mentioned in previous posts, I am always looking for ways to increase my birthday card stash! A situation that many of us may be familiar with!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Treat Bag Topper Die Focused Birthday Cat Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Happy Thoughts, Frilly Frame Dies, Make A Wish)

For this design, I created a white panel with the outer border from the Frilly Frames Stripes die. I used the rectangle from the Treat Bag Topper die and tried to create three evenly spaced windows in this panel. At this point I was still going for a see through card, so I cut a piece of acetate and placed in on the back of the white piece.

In the pictures, this acetate is almost invisible, but it is the surface that I used to glue all my components in place! I changed my mind about the design because the white panel had become flimsy, after all the die cutting. I decided to glue a beautiful ocher yellow paper from Gingham Pastels to the back of the frame, making it much sturdier!

If you are in for a party, make sure to invite the adorable Birthday Cats. I selected a few cuties and accessories and colored them in with my copics. The big birthday cake is from the Make A Wish stamps. The sentiment combines the ‘Happy’ word (Treat Bag Topper die) and  ‘Birthday’ (Happy Thoughts) which I stamped on the cake in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I glued the Happy sentiment to the middle part of the card and created little ‘cats with cake’ clusters on the top and bottom of the design. A few Gold Jewels were the finishing touch!

Finally, I die cut three party hats and banners from the Treat Bag Topper die and Gingham Pastels to decorate a white envelope for this card.

Thank you for joining me and I hope you will have a fun time with these dies!

Gift Card Envelope Die Focused Envelopes with Rachel

Hello friends! It's Rachel here and I have some fun little gift card envelopes to share with you that I made using the newly released Gift Card Envelope Die Set. If you've ever found yourself in a pinch where you've wanted to give someone a gift card, but didn't have a nice way to present it, this die set is for you!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Gift Card Envelope Focused Projects by Rachel Alvarado (featuring Bighearted Bears, Panda Party, Happy Thoughts)

These envelopes are so simple to create and you can dress them up or down as much as you like. You can simply used patterned paper and die cut the envelope and be done! I wanted to dress mine up a bit, and used adorable images from both the previously released Panda Party Stamp Set as well as the new Bighearted Bears Stamp Set. I also used both the Surprise Party Paper Pad as well as the Flirty Flowers Paper Pad for my envelopes. I used a basic rounded stitched rectangle die to cut the white center layers of my envelopes and adhered them to the backs of the envelopes with double-sided tape

All of my images were stamped onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers. I then used both the Panda Party and Bighearted Bears die sets to cut them out. My die cut sentiment came from the Gift Card Envelope Die Set and my stamped sentiments came from the versatile Happy Thoughts Stamp Set.

As you can see in the photo above, a standard gift card fits perfectly into the envelope. I had a lot of fun making these stylish envelopes and I think that you will too! You can check out the Gift Card Envelope Die Set and the rest of the amazing new release HERE!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Lovable Llama Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, Tina here and today we are making a fun shaker birthday card! The super adorable llama is from the Lovable Llama stamp set and comes with matching dies. This set also includes a pile of presents which would work great with the Perfect Gift Boxes, so that is the design I am going for!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Lovable Llama Birthday Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Stitched Arch Dies, Perfect Gift Boxes, Happy Thoughts)

First, I cut a panel from white Neenah paper with the outer of the Frilly Frames Stripes dies. I then dry embossed this piece with the Quilted Hearts folder. I love the subtle detail it gives to a simple white background!

The shaker opening was created with the largest Stitched Arch die. I adhered a piece of acetate to the back of this panel with strong double-sided tape. Then I build a ‘wall’ for my shaker around the arch with double sided foam tape.

I folded a white card base and glued a piece of pattern paper with cute hearts (Subtle Grey Tones paper pad) to the front of the base. This will be the backing for the shaker element of this card. The three boxes were cut from pink, purple and orange tones (Gingham Pastel paper pad) with white trim and lids.

The focal element of the card is this adorable llama with the party hat and gifts (Lovable Llama stamp set). All these images were colored with Copic markers. I also added a small bow tie from Spring Showers. The sentiment was selected from the Happy Thoughts set and stamped onto a small white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

After filling the shaker with pink, purple and clear sequins from my stash, I added all my images and sentiment to the arch window frame. A few Chrystal Clear Jewels were adhered to the gift boxes and the little bow tie. 

I had a lot of fun creating this shaker with the cutest llama ever! Can’t wait to see your creations! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Bright Balloons Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina and today I am featuring the super fun Bright Balloons dies. This set is perfect for lots of occasions, and by keeping the sentiment festive but neutral it’s a versatile card! Although I am a little bit of a hoarder of pretty craft papers, I do have (as many of us!) a large pile of scraps too! These balloon dies are perfect for using up small colorful pieces.  

Sunny Studio Stamps: Bright Balloons Birthday Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Frilly Frame Dies, Panda Party, Happy Thoughts)

I love going through my paper pads mixing and matching patterns. All four balloon shapes were cut using scraps from Gingham Pastels, Dots & Stripes Pastels, and yes … even two Christmas pads (All Is Bright, Joyful Holiday)!

My goal is to keep cards relatively flat for mailing purposes. But today, I went all out with foam tape for lots of dimension in this circle tunnel design!

The card panel is a pretty blue paper from Dots & Stripes Pastels cut with the outside border Frilly Frames Stripes Die. I selected three circles from an infinity die set and used the largest one for this panel. I repeated this step with a smaller circle die and a white panel, finally I cut the third circle from a pink paper. Next, I dry embossed a white piece of Neenah paper with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Bright Balloons Birthday Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Frilly Frame Dies, Panda Party, Happy Thoughts)

Of course I needed a cute critter to hold the big pile of balloons, I went with an adorable bear from Panda Party. All the coloring was done with Copic Markers. I stamped a combined sentiment from Happy Thoughts onto a small white banner with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Finally, I folded a white card base and adhered all my layering panels using foam tape where needed. I placed the sentiment on the bottom of the blue card panel and added my panda with the party hat. To assemble the balloon cluster, I used some Press ‘n Seal and temporary adhesive so I could easily adjust. I opted to just add one string to the balloons because ten was a bit much! A few Chrystal Clear Jewels were all the embellishment this card needed.

I hope you will enjoy creating sweet balloon cards with this cute set too! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
