Icing Rectangles Frame Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I have a card to share with you featuring these adorable Quill Cuties, the awesome Sydney Alphabet Dies and the fun Icing Rectangle Frame Dies. Aren’t these hedgehogs just the cutest? So let’s get started.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Icing Rectangle Frame Dies & Quill Cuties Card by Hanh Nguyen (featuring Sydney Alphabet Dies, Party Pets)

I stamped the images from the Quill Cuties Stamp and the bouquet of balloons from the Party Pets Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Quill Cuties Dies and Party Pets Dies to diecut them out. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Pink: RV000/10/21/13/14
Teal: BG10/11/53/45
White: C1

For the background, I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock (4.25” x 5.5”) and lightly ink blended some Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide. I used the smaller frame die from the Icing Rectangle Frame Dies to diecut a frame 3 times out of white cardstock. (TIP: I found it helpful to save the negative from this diecut to help align and adhere the frame to the panel.) 

For the sentiment, I used the Sydney Alphabet Dies to diecut the HUGS 3 times out of white cardstock. I colored one set of the letters with Copic markers. I layered and adhered the 3 sets of the letters with liquid adhesive. I used the icing frame, colored images and the HUGS letters to roughly plan out the card front and align the  “Sending You" sentiment from the Quill Cuties Stamp set.  I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink directly onto the inked panel.

I adhered the icing frame and HUGS to the panel with liquid glue. The colored images were adhered to the panel 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 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: Baked With Love Cards with Mona Toth

Hi crafty friends! It’s Mona here. I am so excited to be here as a guest designer, and share a sweet card and matching tag inspiration with you, using lovely Sunny Studio supplies.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Baked With Love Card by Mona Toth (featuring Sydney Alphabet Dies, Dapper Diamond Embossing Folder)

I started my project with the card. First, I stamped the cookie and heart images from the Baked With Love stamp set and colored them with Ohuhu markers. After coloring I die-cut the images with its coordinating dies, so they were ready to use on my card.

For the background I used a piece of white woodgrain cardstock and embossed it with the Dapper Diamonds embossing folder. I really love the soft texture it adds to the white card while still keeping the focus on the stamped images. However I needed something extra, so I added some dark pink splatters with watercolor to break the card fronts softness.

Next, I cut a sheet of pink cardstock, called ballet slippers, and adhered it on a white cardbase. With D foam squares I adhered the embossed cardstock on the top of it. For the main sentiment I used the Sydney Alphabet dies to create the big word “COOKIE”. The small sentiment above it comes from the Baked With Love stamp set.

Once the card was finished, I made a few matching tags using the Build A Tag #2 dies. I used Strawberry Red and Ballet Slippers pink, and white cardstock for the tag bases.

To decorate them I stamped and colored more cookie images from the Baked With Love stamp set so the tags match the card perfectly. The sentiments come from the Inside Greetings Friends stamp set which is great for small projects like tags. After arranging the cookies I added gold sequined ribbon and added a few sequins as an embellishment as well.

Inside Greetings Friends Cards with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here and today I am excited to share these adorable friendship cards featuring the Inside Greetings Friends stamp set.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Inside Greetings Friendship Cards by Janneke Peters (featuring Scalloped Square Dies, Stitched Square Dies, Slimline Nature Border Dies, Bunnyville, Passionate Penguins, Foxy Friends)

For this card project, I started by die-cutting 6x the Scalloped Square 1 Small from white cardstock, three of which I turned into grassy borders using our Slimline Nature Border dies. I decided to make three different colored cards, blending the insides of the scalloped squares with pastel blue, pink, and green Distress Oxide inks. For the grass borders, I also blended only the inside with green ink. I masked off the edges to achieve this, but honestly, it would be even easier to use Stitched Square Dies and stick them on top (I’ve already added them to my Wishlist!).

Next, I stamped the Inside Greetings Friends sentiment in a shade slightly darker than the background color, then stamped it again 1mm below in black ink to create a little depth.

I layered the grass borders onto the blended scalloped squares, tucking in some flowers from the Bunnyville stamp set behind the grass. From the Gingham Pastels paper, I cut squares slightly larger than the scalloped ones and rounded the corners with a punch before adhering the scalloped squares on top.

For each card, I chose a different cute critter:

On the blue card, the bunnies from Bunnyville stamp set and the Balloon Numbers stamp set, on the pink card, the sweet penguins from the Passionate Penguins stamp set and  on the green card, the adorable foxes from the Foxy Friends stamp set.

Lastly I added the butterflies also from the Bunnyville stamp set and the heart lollipop from the Bighearted Bears stamp set to each card. After coloring all the stamps with Ohuhu markers and adding highlights with a white gel pen, I adhered them onto the card bases and I mounted everything onto white cardstock bases, rounding the corners to match.

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

Zig Zag Circles Die Focused Card with Yan

Hello everyone, Yan here! I’m delighted to be back with a soft and cheerful Easter card featuring the Zig Zag Circles Dies from Sunny Studio’s Spring release. The delicate zigzag edges bring such a lovely texture and detail—just right for celebrating this gentle, hope-filled season.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Zig Zag Circle Dies & Woolly Friends Easter Card by Yan X DIY (featuring Sydney Alphabet Dies)

First, I stamped the sweet little sheep from the Woolly Friends Stamps onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then, I colored them with Copic markers, keeping the palette soft and warm for a cozy spring look. Once finished, I used the coordinating Woolly Friends Dies to cut them out perfectly, ready to take center stage on my card.

COPIC COLOR
Sheep: C1, C4, C7, E31, E35, E41, E43, R30
Basket: B000, B12, C1, E31, E35, E44, R30, R32, Y11, Y15

Next, I used the Zig Zag Circles Dies to cut shapes from white cardstock and blended Distress Oxide Ink in Saltwater Taffy over the pieces. On a separate card base, I added a touch of Salvaged Patina to create a light, airy contrast. The soft pastel tones pair beautifully together, giving the design a calm yet joyful Easter feel. Finally, I die-cut the word ‘EASTER’ three times using the Sydney Alphabet Dies, then layered the letters together with glue to create a touch of dimension.

Once that was done, I assembled all the pieces using foam tape and glue, arranging them as shown in the photo. To finish the design, I added a heartfelt sentiment from the Woolly Friends Stamps, which perfectly ties everything together with warmth and charm.

I hope this cheerful little project brings a bit of Easter inspiration your way. Thank you for visiting, and I’ll see you again soon with more Spring fun!

Sydney Alphabet Focused Card with Tina H

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here with a sweet baby card featuring the versatile Sydney Alphabet dies. I always love to create personal messages and these dies are perfect for that!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sydney Alphabet & Baby Elephant Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Frilly Frame Stripes Dies, Scalloped Oval Mat Dies, Stitched Oval Dies, Lots of Dots Embossing Folder)

After creating a simple card base, I cut a white panel with the outer die of the Frilly Frames Stripes die which was then dry embossed with the Lots Of Dots embossing folder. I used liquid glue to adhere this piece to the card base.

My focal point consists of a large dark blue Oval (Scalloped Oval Mat 1). On top of this I am going to layer a white oval piece (Stitched Ovals) that will be turned into a sky scene with a blue ink and cloud stencil from my stash.

After mounting these two ovals to the embossed background, I selected a cutie from the Baby Elephant set. As always I used my Copics for some soft coloring, adding highlights with a white gel pen.

Then it was time to work on my combined sentiment. I spelled the word ‘baby’ with the Sydney Alphabet dies and glued them after the stamped ‘welcome’ word which was also taken from the Baby Elephant set. To complete the night sky, I added loads of dark blue stars, cut with several dies from the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles. I scattered them around the main image to complete the design.

I am looking forward to see all the beautiful cards you will create with this amazing die set! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
