Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Karin Akesdotter

Hi everyone! I'm Karin Åkesdotter from Peppermint Patty’s Papercraft and I am so excited to be here to share some cards that I've created using the new Sunny Studio stamps. 

For my first card I started by making a card base from white cardstock and then cut a scalloped panel using the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace dies. Next I die cut the beautiful "quilt" pattern through a rectangle piece of white cardstock, which I then adhered to the center of my card. This made a beautiful, textured background for the wonderful Pink Peonies. 

The peonies were first stamped in Antique Linen Distress ink, then colored with Copic markers before re-stamping and embossing the flowers again with gold embossing. I then made a little flag - with an embossed sentiment from Love Monkey and the Wishes Word die.  

My second card was made in a very similar way, I just used dark colored cardstock instead to get a totally different look. So many possibilities with these wonderful sets!

My last card is a fun and simple design where I stamped a row of adorable chicks, using the Chickie Baby stamp set. I then masked them off and inked the background with Distress ink. Before removing the masking I spattered the background with gold watercolor from Daniel Smith.

Thank you so much for joining me here today!

Border Dies Focused Cards by Leanne and Mindy

Hello everyone! Leanne here today. I live in Iowa where the winter days can often be overcast and gloomy. I find myself wanting to add lots of color to my cards to compensate for the lack of outside this time of year. So I have a very colorful rainbow card to share today. I've combined two new Sunny Studio products to create the rainbow which covers the length of my slimline card. 

I used two different border dies. The scallop is from Eyelet Lace Borders and the hearts are from Heartstrings Borders. Now you could create your own rainbow ink blended card stock to die cut these borders out of, but you don't have to. It's already been done for you! I used a piece of patterned paper from the Spring Fling Paper Pad. It works out perfectly to die cut enough border strips to fill the front of the card. I alternated adhering the two border styles onto a separate panel and then trimmed narrower than the slimline card base which measures 8.5" tall by 3.5" wide.  

For the focal images on this card, I've used the balloon bouquet from Floating By and a monkey from Love Monkey. The monkey image is originally hanging from a vine.  After I die cut the monkey out, I simply fussy cut the vine part off. When I adhered the balloon bouquet to the monkey tail, it covers any odd lines left from the vine. I stamped the greeting, also from Floating By, in one of border gaps just below the monkey. For a bit of embellishment, I added some tiny clay heart confetti.

Hello! It’s Mindy from My Creative Scoop. Today I’m sharing a Valentine’s card set using the new Spring Showers Stamp set and the coordinating die set. I’m also using the new Heartstrings Border Die and created this Ombre effect, which I’ll share how in the video below.

I’ve stamped all my images onto my Copic Xpress it Blending card using Memento Black Ink. Copic colors used: Skin – E13, E11, E00, R32, R30; Hair – E43, E42, E41, E74; Dress and Shoes – R85, R81, RV10

I die cut 3 of the Sweet Word Die which and layered them all together so my sentiment is thicker and stands up off the card a little, the with love is also from the Spring Showers Stamp set – I just trimmed off the ‘you’. 

These cards were so much fun and simple to create. I can’t wait to make more and change the ombre cardstock to rainbow! Thank you so much stopping by. Have a great day!

Love Monkey and Alpaca Holidays Cards with Angelica and Juliana

Hi friends! Angelica here, sharing a clean and simple card featuring Love Monkey stamp set.

I adore this monkey and balloons stamp, and wanted to make it the center of attention. I stamped the image with Milk Chocolate hybrid ink, and colored the scene with Copic markers. I stamped a sentiment from the set and trimmed the panel. I used the large Fancy Frames Rectangle to die-cut Classic Gingham pattern paper. I glued the frame onto the panel, and attached the panel to a card base with foam adhesive.

Copic colors used for the monkey: E04, E11, E51, E000 (face and belly), E18, E17, E15, E13. 

That's all for today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Sunny Studio Friends! It's Juliana and today I'm sharing a winter themed card featuring a mix of old and new products including the Layered Snowflake Frame Die and Alpaca Holiday Stamp Set.

I began with stamping and die cutting the cute alpacas and mountains from the Alpaca Holiday Stamp Set. To give them a more wintery feel, I added a hat and ear muffs from the Merry Mice Stamp Set.

I then took the Layered Snowflake Frame Die and cut it from a piece of white cardstock trimmed to 4.25 x 5.5 inches. I also cut some extra snowflakes from white cardstock and set them to the side.

For the background, I used a new to me technique. I took a piece of purple colored cardstock and ink blended it with Distress Oxide in Salty Ocean. I love how quickly I was able to create an ink blended winter sky by using colored cardstock.

To make the sky more wintery, I added some small snowflakes stamped using Versamark Embossing Ink. They didn't stand out quite enough, so I took a white gel pen and added more snowflakes. You could also do a watered down acrylic paint splatter as well if you don't have a gel pen. I actually added these “extra” snowflakes with the gel pen after the layers were all assembled because I was worried about the paint splattering onto the stamped images.

Once the winter scene was complete, I added the sentiment using the “winter” stamp from Alpaca Holiday Stamp Set and the “wishes” was die cut using the dies from the Layered Snowflake Frame Die. Remember those extra snowflakes? I added them at this point and dressed them up with some Clear Drops from the Clear Drops Mix 2.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed the process for how I created this winter themed card using the Layered Snowflake Frame Die and Alpaca Holiday Stamp Set.

Breakfast Puns and Love Monkey Punny Cards with Leanne and Eloise

Hello everyone! Leanne here and I want to wish you all a very happy new year! This is my final post of 2019 but I will be back in 2020 with more crafty inspiration showcasing lots of fun new Sunny Studio products.  

Today's project features a fun waffle image and coordinating sentiment from the Breakfast Puns set. I used colors reminiscent of a traditional Valentine's card. However, this design could be used any time year by changing up the colors.  

I started by stamping out five waffles and several strawberries from Breakfast Puns. I used Nuvo Acorn Brown ink to stamp the images and then colored with Copic markers. For the waffles I used this Copic combo: E53, E55, & E57. I then trimmed a white card stock strip to about 2 inches wide. I sponged some light pink ink along the bottom edge of the strip and then splattered thinned red paint. I adhered the waffles and strawberries across the length of this strip. I stamped the coordinating punny sentiment also from the Breakfast Puns set.  

I layered the waffle strip over some red Classic Gingham patterned paper. I die cut two Ric Rac border strips to layer behind the gingham. I then adhered all the layers onto a kraft A2 card base. To finish off the card I tied some baker's twine around the top.

Hi friends, Eloise here and today I’m using the Love Monkey Stamp Set along with the Fluffy Clouds Dies to create a Valentine’s Day card.

I started off with stamping out all my images and colouring them in with Copic Markers. Once they were coloured, I cut them out.

(Copic Markers Used: E51, E53, E55, E57 / E40, E41, E42, E43 / E42, E43, E44, E47 / Y11, Y13, Y15, Y19 / RV10, RV13, RV25, RV19 / YG01, YG03, YG23, YG17 / BG10, BG11, BG23, BG49 / R000, R30 / W00, 0)

I then took a piece of white cardstock and ink blended some Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Ditress Ink into the centre. I used the Fluffy Clouds Dies and cut some from the centre. I then stamped the sentiment ‘Swinging By To Say I Love You’ onto the bottom with black ink and adhered my images over the top. I lastly adhered the panel onto a grey card base.

I hope you all enjoyed my project today and thanks for stopping by!
