Bighearted Bears Love-Themed Card with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here with the last card of the year 2025!  I am featuring a love themed scene with two cuties from the Bighearted Bears stamp and die set.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Bighearted Bears Love Themed Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Bursting Hearts Dies, Stitched Arch Dies, Sprawling Surfaces, Lovey Dovey)

The Bursting Hearts background die is a perfect match for this project. I combined this white die cut piece with a purple heart paper from Flirty Flowers. After creating a white card base, I layered both directly onto the base.

For my scene I cut a white panel with the largest of the Stiched Arch dies. This panel will become my background by inking a sky with a cloud stencil from my stash and Distress Oxide Dusty Concord. The bottom part of this arch piece was turned into a side walk by stamping one of the Sprawling Surfaces. Such a versatile set to have in your stash!

Next, I selected two adorable pandas, a letter and a chocolate box from the Bighearted Bears stamp. All the images were colored with my Copics and I added white gel pen highlights.

Before assembling the card, I needed to add a sentiment. I browsed through my stash and decided that the Lovey Dovey stamp was perfect for this project. I stamped the sentiment directly to the panel with Versafine Onyx Black inkTo put the card together, I glued the arched panel to the background and mounted the images with foam tape. As a final embellishment, I added three cute Heart Shaped Pearls to my scene.

Thank you for joining me here on the blog. I am wishing you all a wonderful and very crafty 2026!

Meow & Furever Cat Love-Themed Cards with Mendi

Hello there! I hope you had a lovely Christmas. This is Mendi popping in to share some love-themed cards for Valentine's Day featuring our adorable Meow & Furever Stamps.

Sunny Studio Cat Valentine's Day Cards using Meow & Furever Clear Stamps, Scalloped Square & Stitched Heart Metal Craft Dies

For my first card showcasing the Meow & Furever Stamps, I made the adorable cat peeking through the heart-shaped cutout in his newspaper the focal point. I used a sketch for this card, keeping my card design relatively clean and simple. I relied on the fun, bright striped paper from the Spring Sunburst Paper pack and layered die-cuts to add interest. I landed on this particular color palette and patterned paper because I had colored this tabby cat image years ago, and I was looking for a way to incorporate orange into a Valentine's Day card, which felt like a bit of a challenge.

For my background, I started by die-cutting the diagonal grid print from the Gingham Pastels Paper pack using the Fishtail Banner 2 Dies. I then stacked the Stitched Heart 2 Die, cut from Bazzill's swiss dot cardstock, with a white Scalloped Heart Die inked with a bit of Salty Ocean Distress ink in the center. Lastly, I heat-embossed the punny "Meow You Doin'?" phrase from the Meow & Furever set onto a blue Brilliant Banner 1 Die.

For my second card using the Meow & Furever Stamps, I created another cat love-themed card perfect for Valentine's Day! I had colored all of my cat images and red hearts many years ago, and I was determined to use every last piece for today's cards, so it was fun challenging myself to find the perfect way to use what I had. For this card, I started with a dark kraft cardstock base and layered a blue heart print from the Flirty Flowers Paper pack over the top, which had been die-cut using the largest banner from the Slimline Pennant Dies. I added four of the smallest dies from the Scalloped Square 1 Small Dies into a 2x2 grid and centered my kitties over the top of each of the squares. I completed my card by heat-embossing the greeting from the set onto a red Brilliant Banner 2 Die and sprinkling the five small red hearts like flat mail-friendly embellishments.

Love Monkey Valentine's Day Cards with Mendi

Hello there! I hope you had a lovely Christmas. This is Mendi popping in to share some love-themed cards for Valentine's Day featuring our beloved Love Monkey Stamps.

Sunny Studio Love-Themed Valentine's Day Cards using Love Monkey & Tropical Scenes Clear Stamps & Scalloped Fence Craft Dies

For my first card showcasing the Love Monkey Stamps, I created a 3.5" wide x 7" high mini slimline with a polka-dot background stamped using the Background Basics 2 Stamps. For the stitched mat to frame my scene, I elongated one of the rectangles from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies by hanging part of the die off my cutting plate and running it through my die-cutting machine a second time. 

I added two tree branches to the top of my scene with three of the monkeys. Originally, the hanging monkey was designed to hang from a vine, but I altered him and cut off the vine so I could wrap his tail around the tree branch instead. I also added the bouquet of flowers to his hands to cover the envelope, as if he were trying to steal the girl monkey's heart. Along the bottom half of my card, I added the Scalloped Fence Die, a bit of grass using the Mini Grass Border Dies, and two little birds perched on the fence from the Little Birdie Stamps.

For my second card using the Love Monkey Stamps, I created a jungle scene. I started by inking my white cardstock panel with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress ink. I then stamped two of the leaves from the Elegant Leaves Stamps around the outside edges using PinkFresh Studio Grassy Knoll Ink. I layered the vines and tree branch to the top of my card with an image from the Tropical Scenes Stamps, and then tucked the same monkey hanging from a vine to blend with the other vines. This time, I trimmed off the envelope and put a banana in his hands to go with the sentiment I stamped. I added a toucan from the Savanna Safari Stamps and a tree branch from the Love Birds Stamps along the bottom of my card for my girl monkey to sit on with her bananas. Lastly, I added the punny greeting from the Love Monkey Stamps, substituting the words "for you" with the script word die cuts from the Gift Card Pocket Dies.
