Tiki Time Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and with one heatwave over we are already bracing ourselves for the next one! That is where a cool drink from the Tiki Time stamp and die set is much needed!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Tiki Time Tropical Themed Card by Tina Henkens (Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies, Stitched Arch Dies, Tropical Scenes, Inside Greetings Friends)

This card is all about happy and bright sunny colors, only the card base was kept white. The next layer is a fun yellow paper (Striped Silly) cut with the largest of the Rounded Rectangle Mat dies. I simply glued this piece to the card base before cutting a blue Stitched Arch with a paper from my stash. This will be my ‘sky’ background. I used the little island shape from Tropical Scenes as my beach.

Lastly, I stamped the bar image, two cute parrots and their drinks from the Tiki Time stamp set. I selected warm Copic colors and added a few highlights with a white gel pen.

I took a moment to decide where to put my sentiment since the card was already kind of busy. After browsing through my stash I found this sweet saying in the Inside Greetings Friends set and it was the perfect size to add to the front of the bar. I stamped the phrase on a piece of the same blue paper as my sky with Versafine Onyx Black ink

I used foam tape to add dimension to the sky, sand and images. And I love how these cute parrots are enjoying their fancy cool drinks! With lots going on already, I kept the bling part simple, just a few Champagne Clear Jewels were perfect!

I hope you are enjoying a fun crafty summer! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Build-A-Bowl & Strawberry Patch Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I’m sharing a card featuring the fun Build-A-Bowl Die set and the Strawberry Patch Dies set! I had so much fun creating this friendship card!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Build-A-Bowl & Strawberry Patch Die Focused Card by Tina Magnusson (featuring Passionate Penguins, Woodgrain Embossing Folder)

For my A2 size card I started by trimming a piece of pink card stock from my stash to 5,5 x 4,25 to cover the front of the card base. Next, I trimmed a piece of white card stock to 3,75 x 5 inches, I ink blended turquoise/blue ink with a light hand to create a soft background. I finished it off by splattering black acrylic paint to it!

I trimmed a piece of turquoise patterned paper from the Classic Gingham Paper pack to 1,25 x 5 inches and adhere it to the bottom of the ink blended panel, as a tablecloth! I adhered the panel to the card base.

I then die cut out the bowl and brim from kraft card stock from my stash using the Build-A-Bowl Die set. I placed the bowl part inside the Woodgrain Embossing Folder, applied dark brown 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 brown woodgrain texture to the bowl. Using liquid glue, I adhered the rim.

Now on to creating the strawberries! Using the Strawberry Patch Dies set I die cut out a bunch of strawberries, leaves and blossoms and ink blended the pieces using different shades of pinks, greens and yellow! I assembled the parts using liquid glue.

Next, I stamped three of the cute penguins from the Passionate Penguins Stamps set on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below. I die cut out the penguins using the coordinating Passionate Penguins Dies.

Copic colors used:
Penguins: W0/1/2, N3/5/6, R00/30/32, YR21/24/27

I had so much fun building this scene, placing the strawberries, leaves, blossoms and one of the penguins in the bowl and the other two penguins, additional strawberries, blossoms and leaves on the tablecloth using both liquid glue and foam dots for dimension! I used the hugs die from the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies set, I die cut one piece from pink card stock and one piece from black, to create a shadow and adhered it to the scene!

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

Sea You Soon Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you today and I have a fun birthday card to share showcasing the Sea You Soon set. Despite the small size of this stamp set, it is packed with cuteness and comes at an awesome price point. So let’s get started.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sea You Soon Birthday Card by Hanh Nguyen (featuring Best Fishes, Stitched Circle Dies)

I stamped the images from the Sea You Soon Stamps and the clown fish, sea anenome and seaweeds from Best Fishes Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Sea You Soon Dies and Best Fishes Dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Octopus: V000/01,04/06, R20
Clown fish: Y17/38 YR04/07, R20
Yellow fish: Y11/13/15/19, R20
Shark: C00/0/1/3, R20
Sea anemone: RV10/21
Seaweed: YG01/03/25/17

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sea You Soon Birthday Card by Hanh Nguyen (featuring Best Fishes, Stitched Circle Dies)

For the background, I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and diecut two windows into it using the second and fourth largest dies from the Stitched Circle Large Dies. With the windowed panel as a guide, I ink blended Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock in the location of those windows. 

I used the bubble stamps from the Fintastic Friends Stamps set to stamp some bubbles directly onto the white windowed panel with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink.

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Have a jawsome birthday" sentiment from the Best Fishes Stamps set with Memento Tuxedo Black and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks directly onto the white windowed panel.

I adhered the two panels to each other using foam tape. I adhered the colored images to the front of the card with foam tape for additional dimension and interest. The card front was adhered to an A2 white card base (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. 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: Monkey Business Card with Tammy Stark

Hello friends, Tammy here! I'm so excited to be back on the Sunny Studio  blog today sharing a card, featuring the adorable set, Monkey Business. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Monkey Business & Jungle Vine Card by Tammy Stark (featuring Stitched Rectangle Dies)

To create my card, I started by stamping the images from Monkey Business, coloring with Copic markers, and die cutting the images with the Monkey Business Dies.

Next, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock A2 sized and ink blended the top 3/4 of the card with Saltwater Taffy and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide inks. I then taped off a small area on the bottom of the panel and blended Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks to create a sandy border. I splattered some Vintage Photo ink (thinned with a bit of water) onto the sandy border to create a bit of texture.

Next, I die cut the vines and leaves from Bristol cardstock using the Jungle Vines Dies. I colored the leaves and vines with Copic markers and arranged them onto the inked panel, trimming off the excess. I then stamped the sentiment using black ink. Next, I created a simple frame simply by cutting a piece of white cardstock to 4 1/4 X 5 1/2". Using the second largest die from the Stitched Rectangles DieI centered onto my white cardstock panel and ran it through my die cut machine to create a frame. I attached the frame to my card using foam tape for dimension, then arranged the monkeys and stamped images onto my card. Once I was happy with the layout, I attached the images with both a glue runner and foam tape.

Lastly, I attached my card panel to a white A2 card base to finish up my card! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!
