Fabulous Flamingos Cards with Lexa and Rachel

Hi everyone! Lexa here today with a card highlighting Fabulous Flamingos Stamps and the coordinating dies. This stamp set has a summer vibe that's so lovely and beautiful. So I decided to create this card with sunset sky as background.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Fabulous Flamingos Seasonal Trees Wavy Border Dies Summer Tropical Themed Cards by Lexa Levana and Rachel Alvarado

First I blended some Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey and Squeezed Lemonade to create the sunset sky. I use a handmade circle window stencil to create this look. Many of you may have tried to make one before, but in case you haven't all you need is any circle dies or you can cut the circle manually with craft cutter on a piece of acetate sheet. It's so easy and you can use it again later for another projects, How awesome is that!

I stamped all the images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. My personal favorite of all time. I stamped many flowers and leaves too because I need them to create some kind of frame around the pretty flamingos. After I finished with the coloring I use the coordinating dies to cut all the pieces. Then I'm all ready to arrange them on the card base.

I add some yellow gems on the center of the pink flowers. They look so shiny and beautiful as accents. As for the sentiment I stamped it on the pink fishtail banner and adhere it on the bottom center of my card. I'm super happy with the result. Yay!

Here's the closer look of my card so you can see the details and dimensions I tried to achieve. Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you enjoy today's post as much as I do! Have an amazing day everyone.

Hello, friends! It's Rachel here and I have a tropical pop-up card to share with you today featuring the Fabulous Flamingos Stamp Set!

I stamped all of my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored them with Copics, and then used the coordinating Fabulous Flamingo Die Set to cut them out. I then created the base of my card.

I added some palm trees using the new Seasonal Trees Stamp Set. This is one of my favorite sets because it can be used all year round. It really comes in hand by adding that extra special touch to your card details. I used the coordinating Seasonal Trees Die Set to cut them out.

To give my card more of a beach-feel, I added some sand dunes using the Wavy Border Dies. I cut 4 of these dunes by trimming a few pieces of white card stock to 3.5" x 3" and then used the Wavy Border Dies to add those wavy borders. I then blended each piece with some Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide Inks. I added some random dots (for more detail) onto each strip using some dark brown Copic Markers and a White Gel Pen. My patterned paper accents came from the gorgeous Summer Splash Paper Pack. Lastly, I heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto some black card stock.

Thanks so much for dropping by! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Coastal Cuties Cards with Lexa and Rachel

Hi guys! Lexa here again with an interactive card using Coastal Cuties Stamps and the coordinating dies. I also use Beach Babies and the coconut tree from Seasonal Trees Stamps. It's an easy interactive card but adorable in the same time. Let's get started!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Coastal Cuties Beach Babies Catch A Wave Dies Summer Themed Interactive Cards by Lexa Levana and Rachel Alvarado

I started with stamping my images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them using Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring, I cut all the pieces using coordinating dies. I always enjoy the moment I pop out them.. so satisfying. Then I prepare the papers to create this simple mechanism.

Front: 4 1/4" x 8 1/4", score it at 2 3/4"; Inside: 4 1/4" x 8 1/2", score it at 4 1/4"; Back: 4 1/4" x 5 3/4", score it at 5 1/2"

I make a beach scene on the front panel, with all these cuties playing on the beach. Then when you open the card, the image on the circle window will change into water splashing girl. And a sentiment inside, I leave the top part empty so I can write another greetings inside it later.

On the front, I blend Tea Dye Distress Ink for the sand and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for the sky. Beach line is from Ocean of Joy Stamps, and that cute little crab is also from the same set.

It turned out cuter than I imagined. I hope you all love it as much as I do. Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you have an amazing weekend!

Hello! It's Rachel here today and I have a fun pop-up card to share with you today featuring the new Coastal Cuties Stamp Set. I combined this set with the Beach Babies Stamp Set, which coordinate perfectly with each other.

I decided to make a floating floor design for this set to create what I hoped would look like a fun 3D summer day at the beach. I stamped all of my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers. I then used both the coordinating Coastal Cuties and Beach Babies Die Sets to cut them out. I also added some fun little palm trees from the Sending Sunshine Stamps and Dies and a cute little crab from the Best Fishes Stamps and Dies. (For details on how to create a similar card, you can check out THIS prior post of mine.)

To add to my beach scene, I used the beautiful Summer Splash Paper Pad for the sky, the water, and the wave. In order to cut the wave, I used one of the Catch A Wave Dies. I also added a sand dune in the back of the card using the Wavy Border Dies and some Kraft Card Stock. I then used liquid adhesive to add all of my images.

For the outside of my card, I went with a simple design and used a 2" x 12" belly band to hold my card together. I used one of the cute little girls from the Coastal Cuties Stamp Set and added a bird from the Sending Sunshine Stamp Set. I then added a beautiful scalloped frame using the Fancy Frames Circle Dies and heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto some black card stock.

Therm-O-Web Cards with Rachel


We are so excited to be partnering up with the Therm-o-web team this week. Both teams will be sharing projects all week long, combining products from both Therm-o-web and Sunny Studio Stamps, so we hope you'll stop by and visit their blog as well! 

Hello, crafty friends, Rachel here! Therm-O-Web has teamed up with Sunny Studio Stamps and I have a fun card to share with you today featuring some gorgeous products from both companies!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Beach Babies Wavy Border Dies Sunny Smiles Card by Rachel  Alvarado

Prior to this project, I had actually never worked with Therm O Web products but I have to say that it was super easy and a lot of fun. I can't tell you how many sheets I added foil to just for the fun of it and to see what each color would look like once pressed onto the paper. I used a heat laminator along with various Deco Foil in order to accomplish this.

The photos don't do justice to the beautiful shimmer and contrasting colors that you can actually see in person. I went all out for my card today and added a lot of color via Deco Foils and hot foiling. I definitely went out of my comfort zone as I don't usually have this much shimmer and shine on my cards but the foil is so beautiful and mesmerizing!

For my pinstripe background, I used the Therm O Web Deco Foil Clear Toner Sheets along with the Therm O Web Iridescent Deco Foil. I also did a layer of foiling in the front of the card. I wanted to use some swirls to resemble waves and some beautiful tones of blue and purple foil. To do so, I used the Gina K. Designs Foil-Mates Backgrounds: Swirls & Flourishes along with the Rainbow Shattered Glass Deco Foil Transfer Sheets.

For my images, I stamped a sweet little beach girl and an umbrella from Sunny Studio's Beach Babies Stamp Set. I colored everything with Copics and then cut them out using their coordinating dies. I blended some Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Inks to create some water and then used the Wavy Border Dies to cut it out.

I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks so much for dropping by!

We also have two giveaways going on this week - one here on the Sunny Studio blog and one over on the Therm-o-web blog.

Staggered Circle Dies Cards with Rachel and Lexa

Hello everyone!  It's Rachel here and today I am sharing a project that features the new Staggered Circle Die.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Staggered Circle Dies Oceans Of Joy Magical Mermaids Birthday Card by Rachel Alvarado

I decided to go with an underwater-themed card and used the cutout circles as shaker windows. To start, I first trimmed a piece of white card stock to 4.25" x 5.5" and then cut out the stitched windows with the Staggered Circle Die. I then blended a separate piece of smooth white card stock with some Distress Inks (Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, and Chipped Sapphire) to go behind my top panel.

I used images from both the Oceans of Joy and Magical Mermaids stamp sets and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers and used the Oceans of Joy and Magical Mermaids die sets to cut them out. I adhered them to the ink blended panel after lining up the windows and deciding where I wanted to place them.

I then glued a piece of acetate over each of the windows (except for the top left one) and added some clear 3mm sequins and white seed beads for my embellishments. I used some 3D Foam Adhesive Tape to give my shaker elements room to move.

I cut a piece of Velum Paper with one of the Wavy Border Dies and glued it within my top circle to make my dolphin look like he's popping out of the water. Lastly, I heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto black card stock and added it to the front of my card.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Hi everyone! Lexa here today with a card featuring Staggered Circle Dies. This time I use the circles to highlight sentiments, it's even more stand out with the bright colors. Let's get started!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Staggered Circle Dies Barnyard Buddies Birthday Card by Lexa Levana

I stamped the whole herd from Barnyard Buddies Stamps with Versafine black ink and then watercolor them with Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring I use the coordinating dies to cut each pieces and get ready to arrange them on my card. I use Staggered Circle Dies on a piece of 4.25"x5.5" white cardstock.

I color the negatives with red, orange and yellow use Distress Inks (Barn Door, Wild Honey, Squeezed Lemonade) and then stamp the sentiments from the same stamp set. I blend Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean for the sky, as for the grass I use Mowed Lawn Distress Inks. A red gingham patterned paper for accent on the bottom part of my card and some red twines too. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoy today's blog post and have an amazing day!
