Rounded Rectangle Mat Die Focused Card with Nicky

Happy Friday friends! This is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I'm sharing my first card for the lovely Spring release which is already available for purchase. Read on for all the details and links to products.

I stamped the Majestic Meadow image on a white A2 panel of cardstock that I had die cut using the Rounded Rectangle Mat Die. I reserved the 'frame' from the original die cut so that it wasn't stamped on and remained white. I applied the background image to a turquoise panel of cardstock, I backed the framing piece with foam tape and adhered that down and then set this to one side.

I stamped the bunnies from Tulip Path Background and the birds from Majestic Meadow and coloured the images using the following Copic marker combinations:

Birds - BG45, B00, B000, W3, W1, Y38
Bunnies - E31, E41, E40
Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

I used a white gel pen to highlight some points and then I die cut using the coordinating Majestic Meadow Die and Tulip Path Die.

Next I stamped the Balloon Alphabet letters and die cut with the Balloon Alphabet Die to form the word 'hello'. I used The Stamp Market inks in Peach and Breeze to do this and then I came in with Copics C3 and C1 to shade the balloons to make them a little more 3D. The balloons were die cut using the coordinating dies.

I backed each die cut image with dimensional foam tape and applied them to the uncoloured background and I glued the little balloon strings in place and then stamped the word 'cutie' borrowed from the Big Panda stamp set and used more foam tape to adhere that.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back next Friday with something new.

Background Basics 2 Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this trio of Valentine cards showcasing a mix and match of items from different releases: the Background Basics 2 stamp set from the brand new Spring 2025 release, and three previously released big critters that I like to use all year long for any kind of theme.

I started off by cutting three Strathmore bristol smooth panels using the largest Scalloped Square 1 Small die, I masked the edges off on each panel using washi tape, and created three identical backgrounds in three different color palettes. For the pink panel, I covered the panel with spun sugar oxide ink first, and then stamped the Background Basics 2 chicken wire pattern using kitsch flamingo oxide ink. For the purple panel, I covered the panel with shaded lilac oxide ink first, and stamped the pattern using wilted violet oxide ink. 

And for the aqua panel, I covered the panel with salvaged patina oxide ink first, and stamped the pattern using peacock feathers oxide ink. Next I mixed white ink with water, and splattered that mix on the three panels, and then sprayed matching distress spritz on each panel to add shine and sparkles. Removed all the washi tape and set my panels aside to dry.

I stamped all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in shades of gray for the characters, and in one of my all time favorite color palettes for the other images: aqua, pink and purple. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Big Bunny - bunny, tulips, envelopes, bows • Big Panda - panda • Holiday Hugs - bear, heart pillow, gift • Special Day - hearts • Balloon Rides - banners.

I cut three 4,75 x 4,75 inches panels out of Polka Dot Parade papers, attached them to a card base, and then stuck each scalloped panel to its matching card base using 1mm foam tape. I attached the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, applied a bit of white blizzard nuvo drops on each heart for more sparkles, and then cut three Brilliant Banners 1 for my white heat embossed "Happy Valentine's Day" greetings from Bighearted Bears.

And that's it! I hope you like this lovely trio of Valentine cards. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Party Pets Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and I am super excited to start the new year with a fun birthday card featuring the adorable kitties from the Party Pets stamp and die set.

This set also includes three cute dogs and I have already stamped them out for a future project! Can’t wait to create with them, but for today I loved coloring all these sweet cats and their party accessories with my Copic markers. I used color pencils in matching colors for a bit of shading on the images and added some highlights with a white gel pen.

After scoring a simple white card base, I dry embossed a panel from white card stock with the Moroccan Circle folder. I always love the extra dimension you get from this technique.

The past months have been busy making lots of cards, so my scrap pile of pattern paper was big! I decided to use up some bits (All Is Bright, Flirty Flowers) as backgrounds for the 6 windows I cut into the embossed panel by running the Wonky Windows die twice through the die cut machine.

Then, I simply flipped the panel to the back side and glued my paper scraps into place alternating the two patterns to cover the windows. Next, I stamped the big Happy Birthday sentiment from the Party Pets stamp, I love that it comes with a matching die! 

After adhering the window panel to my card base, I stamped two small sentiments from the same set onto the little signs two cats are holding. I played around with placement of the kitties until I was happy with the result. After adding a few Crystal clear Jewels this sweet project was ready!

I can’t wait to see all these adorable kitties and dogs featured in your projects! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Card with Amanda

Hello crafty friends and welcome back to the Sunny Studio Stamps Blog! It’s Amanda here sharing a card I made using some fun new products from the New Release! Keep reading to see how I created this fun foxy scene!

To create this card, I started by creating my background using the new Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies and the Background Basics 2 Stamps. I trimmed a piece of slightly textured muted green cardstock to 4.25” x 5.5”. Using some low tack tape, I centered my Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies in the center of the panel and then ran it through my die-cutting machine.  

To create those beautiful silver hearts, I smooshed a WOW! Embossing pad on each of the heart cutouts and then applied WOW! Midnight Sky embossing powder to them. I carefully melted the powder using my heat tool, holding the hearts in place with heat-resistant tweezers.

Next, I stamped the Background Basics 2 Stamps on the panel with Catherine Pooler Hot Tub Ink. I love the subtle pattern looks this creates! I applied 3D foam tape behind the panel and then attached it to my A2 sized card base. Then, I applied liquid glue to the back of each heart and adhered them to the card base.

Now, we can move onto the adorable stamped images! I stamped my images from the Foxy Friends Stamps and Party Pets Stamps. I colored the images in with Copic markers. The markers I used are:

Foxes: E50, E30, E31, YR000, YR20, YR21, YR23, YR24, YR27, R00, R20, R22, T8
Gifts: R20, R32, R35, R43, BG90, BG93, N1, N3, N5, N7
Birds: E93, E95, E97, E99, N1, N3, N5, N7

I also stamped my sentiment from the Party Pets Stamps with my WOW! Embossing pad on black cardstock. I applied WOW! Super Fine Opaque Bright White embossing powder to the glue, and then melted the powder with my heat tool.

I used the Party Pets Dies and Foxy Friends Dies to cut out all my images and sentiment. I adhered them to the card front using 2 layers of 3D foam squares for extra dimension. 
The final step was to add a few Silver Jewels. These foxy friends sure know how to have a party, don’t they?!  

Well, that’s it for me today, friends! Come back tomorrow for more inspiration! Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed my card!

Cat Antics Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here and I'm excited to start sharing my cards made with the new release. Today's card features some of the adorable images from Cat Antics. 

I have used the new Rounded Rectangle Window dies to create a trio of windows in which I have arranged these playful kitties. I used two sizes of the Rounded Rectangle Window dies to cut out the openings into a white card panel measuring 5.5" wide by 4" tall. Using foam tape, I adhered my custom window panel over top a pink and green ink blended background. 

Here are the Copics I used to color the images:
brown box - E40, E41, E42
mouse toy - T1, T2
black & white cat - N0, N2, N4, N6, N8
grey & white strip cat - T1, T2, T4, T6
Siamese cat - YR30, W3, E70, E71, E74, E77
Calico cat - W1, W3, E33, E35
rosy cheeks - R20

I picked out four of the cat images, the box, and the mouse toy from the Cat Antics stamp set to Copic color and use on this card. After coloring and die cutting with the Cat Antics dies, I played around with the images in the window spaces until I found a pleasing arrangement that also allowed room to stamp a sentiment in one of the windows. The "pawsitive vibes" word stamp is included in the Cat Antics set. The "especially for you" stamp is from the Inside Greetings Seasons set.
