The Graduate Card with Yan

Hello all, Yan here! Today I'm sharing a fun graduation-themed card featuring the adorable The Graduate Stamps. This project combines playful images, soft pastel colors, and layered details to create a cheerful design perfect for celebrating a special milestone. 

To begin, stamp the fox images from the Foxy Friends Stamps onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the images with Copic markers, then use the coordinating Foxy Friends Dies to cut them out neatly.

COPIC COLOR:
Fox : E31, E35, E41, R30, YR000, YR61
Mortarboard : W1, W4, Y02, Y19

Next, create the background using the Balloon Stencil from Lawn Fawn and blend several pastel Distress Oxide colors onto another piece of white cardstock. Once the ink blending was finished, I used the Just Stitching Double Rectangles from Lawn Fawn to add a subtle stitched detail that complements the fun graduation theme. Then I heat-embossed the sentiment directly onto the background to add a bold, polished finishing touch. 

Finally, I assembled all the elements with foam tape to add a bit of dimension and bring the whole design together, completing the card as shown in the photo. 

I hope this project inspires you to create something fun and cheerful for the graduates in your life!

Afternoon Tea Card with Tina H

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and today you are invited to a special party! When I saw this cute Afternoon Tea stamp and die set, I knew I wanted to make a sweet pink themed card. 

Seeing the large images in this set, I opted for a square white card base. My next layer consists of a white panel made with one of the Stitched Square dies. After adhering this piece to the card base, I made another white panel, this time using the Scalloped Square 1 Large dies. As I often do, I dry embossed this paper with the Quilted Hearts Embossing Folder. I love layering white on white panels, since it brings elegance to the card without distracting from the focal point.

For this design, I decided to combine the images from the Afternoon Tea set with a lovely flower arrangement (Pink Peonies). I colored the flowers with my Copics and that was also my initial plan for the teapot and cup.

However, this is where I changed my mind and decided to go for the fun technique of paper piecing. I stamped my images a second time on pattern paper (Gingham Pastels) and used my scissors to cut them out. The handles of both the pot and cup were a bit challenging, therefore I just removed them and colored them with Copics on the white paper version. After I finished cutting, I simply glued the cup and teapot onto the white images to get that clean crisp border.

To ground my scene, I cut a layer from a green paper (Flirty Flowers) with the Scalloped Square 1 Large dies and one of the Slimline Basic Border dies. I browsed through my stash and found the perfect sentiment in the Inside Greetings Friends set. After stamping this phrase with a green ink on a white banner, it was time to assemble the card. A few Pink Spinel Jewels were the perfect match for this design.

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

Bundle Of Joy Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I’m sharing a card featuring the new Bundle Of Joy Stamps set from the new Summer Release! There are so many cute images in this set! I just love the little clothes hanger, it´s such an adorable detail!

I started by stamping all the images I wanted to feature on my card from the Bundle Of Joy Stamps set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol ink friendly card stock and used the coordinating Bundle Of Joy Dies to die cut them out and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below.

Copic colors used:
Baby: E000/00/11/21, R30/32, C0/1
Hangers: E21/23/25, C3
Green: G94, YG61/63
Turquoise: BG10/11/13
Pink: RV10/11/13

I then die cut out the smallest of the Icing Rectangle Frame Dies, from white card stock.
I ink blended the inside piece using turquoise ink and adhered it to the white frame. For the sentiment I stamped the “Welcome baby girl” from the Bundle Of Joy Stamps set in the center.

For my card I used an A2 size card base, I used soft green ink and ink blended directly on the card base. I then trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 5 x 3,75 inches and ran it through my die cutting machine with the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. Next, I ink blended the panel using pink and orange ink. I then trimmed a slightly larger white panel to go behind my ink blended panel and adhered them to the card base, using double sided tape.

I added foam dots to the back of the die cut images for dimension and adhered them to the card, the baby and items of clothing in a grid pattern at the top half and the rectangle frame with the stamped sentiment at the bottom.

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

Monkey Business Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I am thrilled to share a fun birthday card showcasing the adorable new Monkey Business set from the latest Summer Release! This super cute set has an array of the most adorable monkeys. My A2-sized card was not nearly big enough to feature all of them. And just for the record, I had the hardest time to deciding which monkeys to play with first as they are all so super cute! Which one is your favorite?

I stamped the images from the Monkey Business Stamps, some balloon and present images from the Party Pets Stamps and a present image from the Foxy Friends Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Monkey Business Dies, Party Pets Dies and the Foxy Friends Dies to die cut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Monkeys: E000/00/21/11/93, E33/35/99
Small bananas: Y11/13/15, E50
Pink: RV000/10/21/13/14
Yellow: Y000/11/13/15/19
Green: YG00/01/03/25

For the background, I used the circle dies from the Stitched Circle Small Dies as well as the Stitched Circled Large Dies to die cut three windows into a piece of white cardstock (4.25” x 5.5”). I used the panel as a guide to lightly ink blend a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock with some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink to place behind this window-panel. I adhered the two panels to each other with foam tape. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the Party Pets Stamps set with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink onto a piece of white cardstock and used the coordinating Party Pets Dies to die cut it out. 

A slim strip of patterned paper from the Spring Fever Paper pack was adhered to the left side of the panel to add a splash of color. The colored images were adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25” x 5.5”).

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 to check out the new Summer Release and for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.
