Designer's Choice: Quill Cuties Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I’m sharing a card featuring my favorite hedgehog from the Quill Cuties Stamps and the Woodgrain Embossing Folder!

I stamped three of the cute hedgehog with hearts on a string from the Quill Cuties Stamps set, three of the envelopes, three of the notecards and three of the hearts from the Vintage Valentine Stamps set on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below. I then die cut the images using the coordinating Quill Cuties Dies, and the Vintage Valentine Dies.

Copic colors used:
Hedgehogs: N3/4/5/6, W0/1/3, R00/30/32
Envelopes: B000/0000, 0
Hearts: R22/35/37

Next, I trimmed a piece of light blue card stock from my stash to 3,75 x 5 inches, placed it inside the Woodgrain embossing folder, applied darker blue ink inside the folder on the opposite side of the panel, closed the embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine to create a nice tone on tone blue woodgrain texture.

I then trimmed a piece of black cardstock for a frame to go behind my woodgrain panel and adhered them to my white A2 size card base, using double sided tape.

I tucked the note cards and the hedgehogs into the envelopes securing them with scotch tape on the back. I added foam dots to the back of the envelopes and adhered them to the woodgrain panel.

I used the hugs die from the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies set, die cut three pieces from black card stock and glued them together for dimension using liquid glue.
Lastly, I adhered the hugs and the three hearts to the woodgrain panel using liquid glue!

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

Designer's Choice: Penguin Pair Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I am sharing a fun postcard style card featuring the adorable penguins from the Penguin Pair set. I am completely obsessed with postage and postcard style cards and had to create one with this short stack of cuties and a customized sentiment using the Sydney Alphabet Dies. So let's get started.

I stamped the penguins from the Penguin Pair Stamp and an envelope from the Big Bunny Stamp sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Penguin Pair Dies and Big Bunny Dies to die cut them out. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/4/5/6/7, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R000/20
Heart: R14/24/27/29
Envelope: C1, R14/24/29

For the background, I used the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils and some Candied Apple Distress ink to create a striped border on a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I took another piece of white cardstock and lightly ink blended some Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink onto the edges. I trimmed a bit off the edges of the pink panel and adhered the two panels together.

For the sentiment, I stamped the "Sending Love &" sentiment from the Big Bunny Stamp set directly onto the pink panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the Sydney Alphabet Dies to die cut the PAPER HUGS letters 2 times out of red cardstock. I layered and adhered the letters to each other and then onto the postcard. I accented the letters with a white gel pen. I used a black pen to draw in the line and dots to create a separation of the left and right side of the postcard. 

I used the Gift Card Envelopes Dies to die cut two stamps and the LOVE and XOXO letters out of white, red and silver cardstock. I adhered them to the upper right corner of my postcard. I adhered the penguins to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a white A2 card base.

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: Cards with Sara Zoppi

Hi crafty friends, Sara here! It's been a long time since I was here, but today I am super happy to be guesting again for Sunny Studio Stamps! And I can't wait to show you two inspiration cards featuring some of the recent released products. So, let's dive into the first card!

Spring has come and the Spring Garland stamp set is a must have! As soon as I saw the preview, I knew I would have paired those two corner garlands with the recent released too Penguin Pair, which contains some of the cutest penguins ever!

I firstly stamped all the images I wanted to feature in my scene using Memento Black ink on some alcohol friendly paper. Then I colored all the images with my brand new OLO markers (alcohol markers are my absolutely favourite coloring mediums and I couldn't resist those ones too). The colors I used are listed below. I then added some details with the white gel pen and I die cut everything using the coordinating dies.

- Red Combo: R0.6 – R1.5 – R0.4
- Pink combo: RV1.7 – RV1.5 – RV0.4
- Orange combo: O2.7 – O2.5 – O1.3 – YO2.3
- Yellow Combo: Y2.3 – Y1.2 – Y1.1
- Green Combo: YG8.7 – YG1.6 – YG1.4 – YG1.2
- Penguin: RK – RG7 – RG6 – RG5 – OR2.2 – O4.1 – O2.5

For the background, I used the newest Icing Rectangle Frame dies to create a frame using a brown glitter paper and I put inside a piece of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock which I previously splattered with some pearl white ink.

For the sentiment, I used one of the mini phrases included in the previous released Punny Fruit Greetings stamp and I completed it with the word hug, made with the Chloe Alphabet Dies.

I assembled all the pieces with a mix of liquid glue and foam tape, in order to create depth, and then I matted the whole scene with a sligthly larger white panel. To complete everything, I also added some clear sparkly sequins. And here's the finished result!

For my second inspiration, I went for a more "graphical" card, using the Woolly Friends stamp set. Who says sheep are only "Easter-themed"? Easter has already passed and I had to think something different.

I decided to start creating a custom "patterned" design, with a sort of no-line coloring on some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock, since my sheep are black and white. I repeatedly stamped three of the ones included in the stamp set (I chose the three who are symmetrical) using a light brown ink and then I colored all of the faces with OLO (BK- CG9 – CG7 – CG5 – CG4 – OR1.2 for the blush). As always, when I do some no-line coloring, I use coordinating pencil colors to add some details at the edges of my images. Then I used a white pencil to fill the wool and I added some white gel dots on the "fur" to create some texture. I filled the empty spaces between the sheep with some black and white dots too.
 
I then moved to the rest of the card. I knew I wanted to use this custom patterned panel create a sentiment at the right bottom corner, so I white heat embossed the "life is better" phrase on some black paper and I die cut the EWE word from black glitter cardstock using the same alphabet of the previous card.

I also die cut the largest Loopy Rectangle Frame die to add a frame on my patterned panel. While I was glueing all down, I realized I would have loved to add another single sheep next to the sentiment, so I stamped it on a white paper and I colored using the same combo, then I die cut it with the coordinating die. I assembled everything on a piece of A2 white panel and here's the finished result too!

Thanks for stopping by! I really hope you will like my projects and you will be inspired to create something! See you next time!

Spring Garland Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing this Birthday card featuring the new Spring Garland stamp set.  

For this card, I started by blending inks to create a soft and colorful background. This gives the card a bright and cheerful base that really makes the images pop.

Next, I stamped the images using the Spring Garland, Vintage Valentine, and Love Birds stamp sets. I colored everything with my Ohuhu markers and I used a white gel pen to add highlights.

To complete the card, I stamped the "Make A Wish" sentiment using the Big Bold Greetings set using two different ink tones for a fun effect. Finally, I arranged and adhered all the images onto the card.

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

Loopy Rectangle Frame Die Focused Card with Yan

Hello friends! Yan here—I've been having so much fun creating a playful birthday card using the Loopy Rectangle Frame Dies, and I can't wait to show you how it came together.

To start, I stamped the adorable dogs from the Party Pets Stamps onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then colored them with Copic markers to bring them to life. Once finished, I used the Party Pets Dies to cut them out neatly.

COPIC COLOR:
Dog With Bone : E18, E31, E35, E41, E43, R32, W1 
3 Heart Balloons : G40, R30, R32, RV10, Y02, Y19, YG03
Gifts & Party Hat : G40, R30, R32, RV10, YG03

For the background, I die cut a panel from white cardstock using the Loopy Rectangle Frame Dies. I then blended Distress Oxides in Saltwater Taffy and Twisted Citron to create a soft, cheerful color combination perfect for a birthday card.

Next, I used the Sydney Alphabet Dies to die cut the letters "HBD" from another piece of white cardstock three times, stacking them with glue to create a bit of dimension. Finally, I assembled all the elements using foam tape and glue to bring the scene together.

This cheerful little card was so fun to create, and I hope it inspires your next birthday project!
