Quilted Hearts Landscape Die Focused Card with Marieke

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 Quilted Hearts Landscape Die.

Cut a white top-fold base card and added a piece of black and white pattern paper on to it. Die cut the outer die of Frilly Frames Hexagon out of kraft cardstock. Die cut the Quilted Hearts Landscape die out of white cardstock and trimmed it down.

Cut a light blue rectangle in the same size and adhered them together. Die cut a green gras border and inked it up using Rustic Wilderness Distress ink. Adhered all the elements together and adhered the panel on the base card using foam tape.

Stamped the images out of Baked With Love, Special Day, Panda Party, Party Pets, Little Birdie and Woolly Friends. Colored them up using my Copic markers and cut them afterwards using the Baked With Love dies, Special Day dies, Party Pets dies and Woolly Friends dies or scissors.

Used Copic Colors:
Green - YG67, YG63, YG03
Black - N8, N6, N4
White - C3,C1, C00, 0
Grey - C5, C3,C1
Flame - R24, Y15, Y11

Heat set the sentiment on to a kraft piece of cardstock which I die cut to a banner using the Brilliant Banner 1 Die. Added some white gel pen details and some leaves. Adhered all the elements onto the card and stamped some dotted lines using the Sweet As Can Bee stamp.

Have a wonderful day!

Sunflower Fields Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I have an elegant card for you using the Sunflower Fields set! I usually go for bright pinks, orange, greens and turquoise on my cards, but today I chose a soft, muted pink to  mulled red color scheme!

For my card I used an A2 size card base. I started off by trimming a piece of grey polka dot patterned paper from the Subtle Grey Tones paper pack to 4,25 x 5,5 inches and adhered it to my card base using double sided tape.

Next, I trimmed a piece of white card stock to 4,25 x 5,5 inches and ink blended the outer edges with pink ink and then die cut out the largest of the Icing Rectangle Frame Dies to create a frame and adhered it to the card base using liquid glue.

I stamped one of the sentiments from the Inside Greetings Friends Stamps set in the upper right corner. There are so many good sentiments to choose from with this stamp set!

I then stamped the sunflowers and leaves from the Sunflower Fields set, layer by layer, using light to dark inks. Next, I die cut the stamped images using the coordinating sunflower and leaves dies. As the stem stamp does not have a coordinating die I fussy cut them, super easy and quick! Next, I stamped one of the little bees and die cut it out using the coordinating die!

I assembled the sunflowers with the stems and leaves using liquid glue. Lastly, I added foam dots to the back of them and the little bee for dimension and arranged them to my taste and adhered them to the card.

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

Hayley Alphabet Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you today and I have a fun cupcake-shaped birthday card to share showcasing the Cupcake Shape Dies, Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies, Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies and Birthday Mouse sets. There’s something about shaped cards that always catches my eyes. They are just so unique and extra special. And who doesn’t love a cupcake, right? Full confession: I have a soft spot for alphabet dies. I collect them whenever I can. These Hayley Alphabet Dies are just perfect for creating your own sentiments or personalizing a card. So let’s get started.

I used the Cupcake Shape Dies to die cut a cupcake, a cherry, two candles and two cupcake shadow dies out of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. Next, I stamped the mouse image from the Birthday Mouse Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Birthday Mouse Dies to die cut it out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Frosting: RV000/00/10/21
Cupcake: E51/53/55
Cupcake Liner: RV21/13/14/25/29
Candles: B000/00/02, YG01/03/25, Y11/08 R14
Cherry: R20/14/24/27/29, YG03/25
Mouse: E51/53/33/35, R000/00/20, R20, W7
Tricycle: RV10/21/13, W7
Balloons: B000/00/02, RV000/00/10/21/13/14, YG00/01/03/25

Happy Cupcake Day! For the sentiment, I used the Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies to die cut the necessary letters. I adhered them to the frosting of the cupcake with liquid adhesive. I stamped the “Happy” and “Day” sentiments from the Panda Party Stamps set directly onto the frosting of the cupcake with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

For the card base, I took one of the two cupcake shadow die cuts and used my score board to score a horizontal line at the 0.75” mark from the tip of the frosting. I added some strong double-sided tape to the frosting tip and adhered the two cupcake shadow die cuts to each other to create a top folding card with a hinge at the frosting.

I adhered the colored cupcake, candles and cherry onto the front of the card base with liquid glue. I added the little mouse to the front of the cupcake with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. 

I love the fun shape of this card and how well it was designed to maximize the card size but still fit perfectly into an A2 sized envelope for easy mailing. 

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.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Sweet As Can Bee Cards with Leanne West

Hello everyone! Leanne here and I'm very happy to be here to share a couple of bee theme cards I have made using the absolutely adorable Sweet As Can Bee stamp set and matching dies. I've also done a little creative fussy cutting to make a custom bee hive. I'll explain how to do this in detail below. 

This first card includes lots of images and a sentiment from the Sweet As Can Bee stamp set as well as my custom-made bee hive. 

Making your own card stock bee hive is very easy to do. Start with creating a template by folding a small sheet of copy paper in half. Next draw the bee hive shape on the folded paper like you see in the photo below. If you'd like to make the same size as mine, use the measurements in the photo. Next cut the shape out and unfold the paper. Now you have a template for a perfectly symmetrical hive which you can trace onto card stock and fussy cut out. I cut mine out of pale yellow card stock. I then added shading and splatters to give the hive some definition and interest. Lastly, I used a 3/4" paper punch to create the opening and backed it with a dark brown card stock. 

After my bee hive was complete, I stamped the sentiment and then adhered it with foam tape to a panel vellum cut slightly smaller than A2 size. I embellished this panel with lots of Copic colored flowers and bees. Once I had the placement of everything just right, I adhered my little bee hive scene onto a pink A2 size card front. The pink card front was splattered beforehand with gold and pink watercolor to give it a speckled look. 

For the second card, I have created another playful scene with the bees and flowers, only this time I used the Frilly Frames Hexagon Dies to create a background that perfectly pairs with the Sweet As Can Bee stamp set. 

The Hexagon Frame has been die cut from light yellow card stock and then backed with a creamy ivory card stock. I then layered this frame over top a bright pink panel slightly smaller than my A2 size card base. 

I wanted the sentiment to take center stage on the card with the bees and flowers surrounding it. I used a combination of word stamps from Sweet As Can Bee and the Sydney Alphabet Dies to create this fun sentiment. I then added the flowers and bees to create the carefree style composition. 

I hope I have given you a bit of new inspiration for making whimsical bee theme cards. Thanks so much for joining me today! Copics used to color the images are listed below.

bright pink - RV10, RV13, RV14; medium pink - R83, R85; bright green - YG11, YG13, YG17; medium green - YG61, YG63; bright yellow- Y11, Y13, Y17; mustard yellow - YR32, Y2; black- N2, N4, N6; cool shading on white flowers -C1, C3; light blue shading on bee wings - B00

Botanical Backdrop Die Focused Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing a shaker card featuring the Botanical Backdrop die.

I started by die cutting the Botanical Backdrop several times: one in pink cardstock, one in green cardstock, and five layers in white cardstock. I added some extra depth to the pink and green layers by blending a little bit of ink onto the tips of the leaves.

To create the shaker window, I glued the five white die cuts together to build up enough height for the shaker filling. Underneath this layer, I added the green leaves by cutting them loose from the backdrop frame and placing them under the white layers.

For the background of the shaker, I used a light pink cardstock panel and blended the edges with pink ink to create a soft background. I stamped the sentiment from the Snail Mail stamp set in the same pink ink, so everything matched perfectly.

Then I attached the white and green layered backdrop onto the background, added the shaker filling, sealed it with acetate. anI placed the pink Botanical Backdrop layer on top.

Next, I stamped the adorable penguins from the Passionate Penguins stamp set, together with the mailbox, envelopes, and little snail from the Snail Mail stamp set. I colored all the images with my Ohuhu markers and placed them on top of the pink backdrop to create this sweet little scene.

As a final touch, I added some white highlights with a gel pen and glued the shaker panel onto a white cardstock base.

Card done, ready to send joy! Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.
