Guest Designer Spotlight: Scrapbook Layouts with Laura Vegas

Hey everyone! Laura Vegas here to share some scrapbooking inspiration on National Scrapbook Day! When I think of Sunny Studio's stamps, I automatically think of card making. But when I think of Sunny Studio's dies - specifically her standalone dies - I can see so many ways to work them into scrapbooking projects, whether it's traditional layouts, smaller sized travelers notebook pages, or pocket pages. I've switched over to the smaller sized "layouts" and pocket page style of scrapbooking over the last few years, so I was excited when Mendi asked if I'd create some projects using her new dies (and I couldn't help but mix in a few older dies as well!)

For this travelers notebook sized spread (pages are 4"x8.25"), I started by die-cutting the white cardstock base of the second page using the Staggered Circle dies. I backed it with some black and white polka dot patterned paper, and then added some borders along the top and bottom using the Ribbon & Lace Border dies

I used the Notebook Photo Corner dies to die-cut two banners and added alphabet stickers to each to hold my title. I also die-cut three notebook pages from white cardstock, using the same die set, adhered my photos to each of them, and then tore the cardstock directly under the photo.

I used the Notebook Tab dies to create a tab for each photo, writing my "chore" (aka, where you'll find me on my days off work) in the center piece of each tab.

For this 6x8" spread (half pocket page, half full sized page), I wanted to focus on the Notebook Tab dies. I had a 3"x4" filler card that reads "my brain has too many tabs open", and I knew it was perfect for this project. This is a photo-less scrapbook page, which I do often. I'm all about documenting stories, whether I have specific photos for those stories or not. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Scrapbooking Layout by Laura Vegas

I used the Moroccan Circles embossing folder and Lots Of Dots embossing folder to emboss strips of white cardstock and covered my 6"x8" page with them. I then cut strips of patterned papers (using my dotted patterned paper on the first page to pull my colors from) and layered them over the embossed strips, mimicing the look of file folders stacked up.

I used 3 of the tab dies to create a tab for each "file folder", and labeled each of them with a sampling of the "tabs" that are constantly open in my brain. I die cut the notebook page from a green polka dot patterned paper and added my printed journaling to the center of it. The notebook pages, when die-cut, are the perfect size to fit into 3"x4" pockets, making them perfect for pocket page and project life projects.

For this 6x8" spread, I used the Staggered Circle dies to create two borders for the top and bottom of the left side of the spread. I adhered those pieces on a sheet of patterned paper, so that the fun teal pattern would show through the cut out circles.

I used the Ribbon & Lace Border dies to die-cut several border strips - two for the first page of the spread, to go above and below my journaling and title card, and one for the second page of the spread to go alongside my photo.

I used the Notebook Tab dies to die cut a notebook page from yellow patterned paper, adding my journaling block to the center. I work with 3"x4" filler cards and journaling cards in the majority of my scrapbooking these days, so these notebook page dies fit perfectly into my design process.

For this travelors notebook sized spread (pages are 4"x8.25"), I started by using the Sunny Semi-Circle dies on several different patterned papers, as well as white cardstock. My original plan for these pieces didn't work like I had hoped, so I played around with a few other options and was happy with their final placement. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Scrapbooking Layout by Laura Vegas

I die cut the Hello Word die multiple times from green patterned paper and layered them together to create a thicker "hello" word, adding some pink alpha stickers to complete my title. I used the Lots of Dots embossing folder on white cardstock to add texture to the piece behind my title. I'm a huge fan of using white cardstock in my projects and always love to add texture and interest using embossing folders, as well as light ink splatters.

I used the Notebook Tab dies on green patterned paper (coordinates with the paper I used for my title) to create a notebook page to hold my journaling block and added a die-cut tab along the top, which holds the date. I also used the Notebook Photo Corner dies to add photo corners to the full photo that makes up the second page of the spread.

For this 6"x12" spread (half full sized page, and half pocket page), I started by printing a 6"x6" photo collage for the first page, building around it with patterned papers and white cardstock. I used the Ribbon & Lace Border dies to add small strips between my collage and the papers. I like very clean and linear designs, so I feel like adding those small strips helps define each "section" and creates a sort of block design that I love.

I used the Moroccan Circles embossing folder to add texture to the white cardstock at the top of the first page, using the Happy Word die to create the main part of my title (I added alphabet stickers to complete the title).

I die cut the inside piece of the middle Fancy Frame Squares Dies, cutting them from white cardstock and adhering them onto 3"x3" pieces of patterned paper.

For this 6x8" pocket page spread, I picked out two pocket page dividers that have lots of tiny 2"x2" pockets. The smallest die in the Fancy Frame Squares dies fits perfectly in the 2"x2" pocket, which I just love.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Scrapbooking Layout by Laura Vegas

I picked out a handful of patterned papers to coordinate with the colors in my 3"x4" title card, and die cut lots of tiny scalloped frames. I used the Lots of Dots embossing folder to emboss square of white cardstock to add behind each frame, and then added random embellishments to the centers of each.

This is another photo-less layout, which I'm a huge fan of. But it includes lots of journaling and random facts about my life, which I think will be fun to look back on.

Thanks so much for hanging out with me today! I hope this has given you a new way to look at your dies that may be geared towards card making, but can be used for scrapbooking projects as well!

Autumn Greenery Die Focused Cards with Kavya and Isha

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun project! Anyone who is familiar with my work knows that I love making things realistic. The new Autumn Greenery dies in the latest release were a perfect opportunity for me to try out some realistic ink bending!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Autumn Greenery Everyday Card by Kavya (featuring Hello Word Die)

I first started off by prepping my background. I ink blended an edge of kraft cardstock with some brown die ink and splattered some white and brown paint. Then, I die cut the leaves from Autumn Greenery using white cardstock and ink blended it using different shades of green, yellow, orange, red and purple distress oxide inks.

I then splattered some water drops and added details using a white gel pen. Then, I placed the leaves onto the brown background and added a heat embossed sentiment and a die cut Hello Word to finish off my card!

That’s it folks! I hope you enjoyed this fun project :) Happy Crafting! 

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

Hello everyone, Isha here! Today, I am featuring the Autumn Greenery Dies with you. I love autumn, mainly because of the crisp air and the colors. These new dies are perfect with some intricate impressions.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Autumn Greenery Everyday Card by Isha Gupta (featuring Mini Mat & Tag Dies)

I started by creating the background layer. I took a white card and embossed it using the Cable Knit embossing folder. I then sponged kitsch flamingo and dried marigold distress inks. Flick gold watercolor. Next I die-cut the mat layer using the new Mini Mat and Tag 3 dies. Then I stamped the sentiment using the Cherry Blossoms stamp. Add gold watercolor to the edges. Adhere these mat layers to the card.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Designer's Choice Cards with Gladys and Alma

Hi friends, this is Gladys! It has been super hot here and for me sunflowers gives me summer vibes. For my card today I used the Watering Can stamp set and combined it with the Sunflower Fields layering stamps.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sunflower Fields Card by Gladys Marcelino (featuring Frilly Frame Dies, Watering Can, Hello Word Die)

I started by die cutting a light blue cardstock measured 4" x 5.25". I used Pinkfresh Studio inks to add color and depth. The colors I used were summer shower, seaside, and storm. To add interest I splattered some Gansai Tambi watercolors using a small paint brush. 

Next I stamped the sunflowers and watering can using more Pinkfresh Studio inks:
Sunflowers: Lemon Whip, Sunshine, Mustard, Marigold, Apricot, Clementine
Leaves: Mint, Meadow, Emerald City
Watering can: Seaside, Storm

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sunflower Fields Card by Gladys Marcelino (featuring Frilly Frame Dies, Watering Can, Hello Word Die)

I adhered all the elements on a Frilly Frame Lattice frame, cut from white cardstock. To complete my card, I used the Hello Word die cut multiple times and stacked together for dimension.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful week!

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

Hello, this is Alma and today I'm showing you two shaker tags that would simply enhance any summer gift.


Sunny Studio Stamps: My Otter Half Gift Tags by Alma Störk (featuring Scalloped Circle Mat Dies, Stitched Circle Dies)

First I punched my tag base with the Scalloped Circle Mat I Dies and coloured it with the Distress Oxide Inks "Moved Lawn", "Peacock Feathers" and "Mermaid Lagoon" as well as "Blueprint Sketch". For special water  effects I sprinkled the backgrounds with water and set highlights with the white gel pen.


Then I cut out the frames of the Scalloped Circle Mat I Dies from white cardstock. Therefore

I used the Stitched Circle Large Dies. To make a shaker tag out of it I cut out the frames 6 times each. I glued five of these frames to the background and filled in the sequins. I mixed the Peridot Green Jewels with the Blue Topaz Jewels and the Iridescent JewelsThen I stuck the foil on and fixed the last frame on it.

Now I stamped and coloured the cute otters from the My Otter Half Stamps Set and cut them out with the My Otter Half DiesI glued the otters on top and finally cut the text from the My Otter Half Dies in turquoise and white and glued them together to get some depth.
