Designer's Choice: Wonderful Window Die Focused Card with Yan

Hello friends! Yan here—I’m excited to share a soft and heartfelt Mother’s Day card featuring the lovely Wonderful Windows Dies. I love how this die set creates a charming window scene, perfect for adding a warm and meaningful touch to a card for someone special.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Wonderful Windows & Cat Antics Mother's Day Card by Yan X DIY (featuring Inside Greetings Friends, Sydney Alphabet Dies)

To begin, I stamped the sweet mama cat and kitten image from the Cat Antics Stamps onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then colored the image with Copic markers, bringing out the warm and loving details. Once finished, I used the Cat Antics Dies to cut it out neatly.

COPIC COLOR:
Mama Cat with Kitten : E18, E31, E35, E41, E43, R32 
Fish in Food Bowl : BG10, BG23, R32, YR65, YR000
Ball of Yarn : R30, R32
Mice : W1, W5, R32

Next, I used the Wonderful Windows Dies to die cut the window frame from another piece of white cardstock three times, then stacked the layers together with glue to create a bit of dimension. I also added a soft touch of color using Copic markers (R32 and R30) to give the window frame a gentle, warm look.

For the background, I chose a piece from the Polka-dot Parade 6x6 Paper to add a soft and playful touch. I then stamped a sweet sentiment from the Inside Greetings Friends Stamps directly onto the background to complete the heartfelt message. Next, I used the Sydney Alphabet Dies to die cut the letters “MOM” from another piece of white cardstock three times, then stacked them together with glue to create a bit of dimension. Finally, I assembled all the elements using glue and double-sided tape to bring the whole design together.

I hope this card brings a touch of warmth and inspiration to your day!

Designer's Choice: Balloon Rides Card with Tina H

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and I have a fun card for you in one of my favourite color combo’s, pink and teal.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Balloon Rides Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Scalloped Square Small Dies, ZIg Zag Circle Dies, Inside Greetings Congrats)

This time I went with a square design and a white card base. My next layer is a striped square (Scalloped Square 1 Small dies, Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones). After glueing this piece to the card base, I went on to create a circle with the largest die of the Zig Zag CirclesTo add interest to this background, which will be my sky, I did some splattering with a teal ink from my stash. I set this piece aside to dry and started working on my focal point.

After browsing through my stamps, I discovered that the big balloon from Balloon Rides fits perfectly inside the circle background. Choosing the passenger from this set was hard since they are all so cute, in the end the adorable bunny was the lucky one! I also stamped three clouds and two pieces of trim for the balloon. As mentioned before, I went with Copics in teal and pink shades.

Meanwhile, the splattered circle was dry to the touch and could be adhered to the striped panel. Next, I assembled the balloon with the trim and bunny. Before deciding on the final placement, I selected and stamped a sentiment from Inside Greetings Congrats in Versafine Onyx Black ink

With all the elements of my design ready, I could mount the images and sentiment to my circle background. Lastly, I added a few Iridescent Jewels to finish this card.

I can’t wait to see your creations with this sweet stamp set! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Hello all, Marieke here. I'm back again with my weekly post for Sunny Studio Stamps. Today I hope to inspire you with a card that I made using the Puddle Jumpers.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Puddle Jumpers Birthday Card by Marieke Slaats (featuring Sydney Alphabet Dies)

For today's card I decided to create a mini slimline card, it has been ages since I made one of these. So I cut a top fold white base card and added a piece of yellow pattern paper out of the Sleek Striped Paper PackOn a piece of watercolor paper I ink blended the background using Blueprint Sketch and splattered some water. Die cut the background and adhered it directly on to the card.

Designer's Choice: Quill Cuties Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I’m sharing a card featuring my favorite hedgehog from the Quill Cuties Stamps and the Woodgrain Embossing Folder!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Quill Cuties Card by Tina Magnusson (featuring Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Vintage Valentine)

I stamped three of the cute hedgehog with hearts on a string from the Quill Cuties Stamps set, three of the envelopes, three of the notecards and three of the hearts from the Vintage Valentine Stamps set on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below. I then die cut the images using the coordinating Quill Cuties Diesand the Vintage Valentine Dies.

Copic colors used:
Hedgehogs: N3/4/5/6, W0/1/3, R00/30/32
Envelopes: B000/0000, 0
Hearts: R22/35/37

Next, I trimmed a piece of light blue card stock from my stash to 3,75 x 5 inches, placed it inside the Woodgrain embossing folder, applied darker blue ink inside the folder on the opposite side of the panel, closed the embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine to create a nice tone on tone blue woodgrain texture.

I then trimmed a piece of black cardstock for a frame to go behind my woodgrain panel and adhered them to my white A2 size card base, using double sided tape.

I tucked the note cards and the hedgehogs into the envelopes securing them with scotch tape on the back. I added foam dots to the back of the envelopes and adhered them to the woodgrain panel.

I used the hugs die from the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies set, die cut three pieces from black card stock and glued them together for dimension using liquid glue.
Lastly, I adhered the hugs and the three hearts to the woodgrain panel using liquid glue!

Thank you for stopping by! Wishing you all a happy and colorful day!

Designer's Choice: Penguin Pair Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I am sharing a fun postcard style card featuring the adorable penguins from the Penguin Pair set. I am completely obsessed with postage and postcard style cards and had to create one with this short stack of cuties and a customized sentiment using the Sydney Alphabet Dies. So let's get started.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Penguin Pair & Sydney Alphabet Die Card by Hanh Nguyen (featuring Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils, Big Bunny)

I stamped the penguins from the Penguin Pair Stamp and an envelope from the Big Bunny Stamp sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Penguin Pair Dies and Big Bunny Dies to die cut them out. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/4/5/6/7, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R000/20
Heart: R14/24/27/29
Envelope: C1, R14/24/29

Sunny Studio Stamps: Penguin Pair & Sydney Alphabet Die Card by Hanh Nguyen (featuring Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils, Big Bunny)

For the background, I used the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils and some Candied Apple Distress ink to create a striped border on a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I took another piece of white cardstock and lightly ink blended some Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink onto the edges. I trimmed a bit off the edges of the pink panel and adhered the two panels together.

For the sentiment, I stamped the "Sending Love &" sentiment from the Big Bunny Stamp set directly onto the pink panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the Sydney Alphabet Dies to die cut the PAPER HUGS letters 2 times out of red cardstock. I layered and adhered the letters to each other and then onto the postcard. I accented the letters with a white gel pen. I used a black pen to draw in the line and dots to create a separation of the left and right side of the postcard.

I used the Gift Card Envelopes Dies to die cut two stamps and the LOVE and XOXO letters out of white, red and silver cardstock. I adhered them to the upper right corner of my postcard. I adhered the penguins to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a white A2 card base.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.
