My Otter Half Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and since it had been a while I decided to make a fun shaker card! The focal point of this project is an adorable couple from the My Otter Half stamp and die set.

For today’s card I made a white square card and added a teal layer cut from one of the Sweater Weather papers. Yes, this is a Fall themed paper pack but I feel the darker teal is a great match for my cute brown otters (also very snug and cozy, I made this card on a rainy day in Spring, hence the need to feel that way!).

After cutting the panel with the second largest of the Scalloped Square 1 Large dies, I created the shaker window with one of the Stitched Circle Small dies.

A piece of clear acetate slightly smaller than my teal piece was glued to the back with strong double sided tape. Next, I created the shaker well with thick strips of foam tape, I removed the protective backer first to add the tape as close as possible to the circle shape.

Now comes the fun part, which is filling the shaker with sequins in clear and teal colors. to close the shaker, I simply added a square piece of teal paper to back. I glued this whole piece to the card base with liquid glue.

My cute couple from the My Otter Half stamp was colored with Copic markers in shades of brown. The sentiment was taken from the Words Of Gratitude set and stamped on a scalloped white banner with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I placed this banner on the bottom edge of the shaker and added the cute couple so their tails overlap with the white sentiment strip. This connects the elements of this design in a fun way.  Of course this card needed a bit of bling so I sprinkled a few Aquamarine Jewels around the shaker frame.

This set is so cute and I am sure you will make the most adorable cards with these otters! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Foxy Friends Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here sharing a card using the cute and fun Foxy Friends set!

For my A2 size card I started with the background panels, I die cut out the pink piece using patterned paper from the Classic Sunburst Paper pack using the largest of the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies. From white card stock I die cut out the second largest of the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies and ink blended a sky using light blue ink, and adhered them to the card base.

Next, I stamped the bench/trees/lamp post/hills from the Spring Scenes Stamps, the foxes and birds from the Foxy Friends Stamps and clouds from the Majestic Meadow Stamps on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below.

Copic colors used:
Trees: YG03/17/ 67, E21/23/25
Bench: C1/2
Hills: YG03/17/ 67
Stones: N3/4/6
Asphalt: N1/3/4
Lamp post: N1/3/4, Y11/15
Foxes: E08/09/97, YR21, C0/2, N5/6, R01/02
Birds/clouds: RW52/55

I then die cut out the colored pieces using the coordinating Spring Scenes Dies, Foxy Friends Dies, Majestic Meadow Dies. I also used the second largest of the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies for the bottom of the stamped and colored scenery piece to get the same shape as the panel and I then adhered it using double sided tape. I adhered the clouds using liquid glue. I stamped the greeting, from the Foxy Friends Stamps set. Next, I added foam dots to the back of the foxes, birds and the single tree for dimension and adhered them to the scene panel.

Thanks for stopping by! Wishing you a happy and colorful day!

Radiant Plumeria Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I have a sweet summer themed card to share with you showcasing the Radiant Plumeria and Tropical Birds sets. 

I started by stamping the plumeria flowers and leaves from the Radiant Plumeria Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. These awesome layering stamps are labelled for ease of use. I highly recommend using a stamping tool for this type of stamp. It makes lining up the layers and restamping a breeze. 

For the plumeria, there is a total of 7 layers to create the depth and gradient of colors. I used all but two of the middle layers of the series in order to leave some white space on my petals. I used Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide inks. Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink was used for the leaves, For the plumeria leaves, I only used the first two layers of stamp and used Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink for both layers — stamping twice for the second layer to create a slightly darker border to the leaves. I used the coordinating Radiant Plumeria Dies to diecut them out.

Next, I stamped the images from the Tropical Birds Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Tropical Birds Dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Yellow Bird: Y11/13/15/19. Y17/38 YR04, R20, R22
Pink Bird: RV000/10/21/13/14, Y17/38 YR04, R20, R22

For the background, I ink blended a simple background with Tumbled Glass and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I added some dots with a white gel pen for a bit of interest. I used the second largest die from the Stitched Circle Large Dies to diecut a window into the center of a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock, I adhered the two panels together with foam tape. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Summer” and “Greetings” sentiments from the Radiant Plumeria Stamps with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink onto ta piece of white cardstock. I fussy cut out the “Summer” and used a paper trimmer to cut out the “Greetings”. 

The colored images and the sentiments were adhered to the panel with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”). I finished the card with a few Majestic Clear Confetti.

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

Guest Designer Spotlight: Gift Card Holders with Tammy Stark

Hello friends! Tammy here with a couple of fun onesie gift card holders, featuring the Bundle of Joy stamp set.

To begin, I stamped the images from the Bundle of Joy stamp set, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the coordinating Bundle of Joy dies. 

To create the onesie shape, I started with an A2 rectangle (measuring 4 1/4X 5 1/2") cut from the Flirty Flowers Paper. I freehand cut the shape, taking inspiration from the onesie in the Bundle Of Joy set, then used the Stitched Circle Small Dies to cut the neck and leg openings. I then traced it onto heavy white cardstock and cut it out to create the back of the gift card holder.

Next, I cut 2 white Scalloped Circles Mat 1, then layered a Stitched Small circle, cut from Bristol smooth cardstock. I ink blended one with pink ink and the other with light blue ink and adhered to the scalloped circles. I attached the scalloped circles onto the onesies using foam tape, then added the stamped images onto the circles. The sentiments were created using the Brilliant Banner 3 Die. I die cut the banners using coordinating cardstock, then stamped the sentiments from the Bundle of Joy set in black ink, and attached to the gift card holders with foam tape. Lastly. I glued the white cardstock to the patterned paper, making sure to only adhere the bottom and sides of the onesie to create a pocket. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope I inspired you to create a fun shaped card using dies, and a cute stamp set, of course!
