A Cut Above ATC Cards with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing these cute ATC’s.

I started by die-cutting four ATC bases from brown cardstock and adding alternating red and blue frames. To create some extra texture, I used the Diagonal Stripes Stencil with brown ink on the bottom brown layer.

On the top brown panel, I stamped a subtle plaid pattern along the top edge using the plaid stamp from the A Cut Above stamp set with brown ink. To give the background a playful look, I finished it off with some white gouache splatters.

Next, I stamped the office supplies from the A Cut Above stamp set. I created two red and two blue versions of both the pushpin and the pencil. These are layered stamps, making it easy to add beautiful depth and dimension to the images.

Of course, someone had to hold those giant pencils. For that, I stamped two cute foxes from the Foxy Friend stamp set and two playful kittens from the Cat Antics and Party Pets stamp sets.

For the little notes, I stamped the paper image four times from the Vintage Valentine stamp set. I then added the sentiments using stamps also from the Vintage Valentine and Foxy Friend stamp sets.

After coloring all of the stamped images with my Ohuhu Markers, I adhered everything to the ATCs, layering the elements for a fun and playful composition. As a finishing touch, I added a few clear drops to give the cards a little extra shine and dimension.

Cards done, ready to send joy!

Sunflower Fields Card with Yan

Hey crafty friends! It's Yan here, and today I'm sharing a super cheerful sunflower card that is so much fun to make. If you love warm summer colors and cute buzzing bees, this project is for you!

​To kick things off, I stamped the sunflowers and leaves from the Sunflower Fields Stamp Set. For the sunflowers, I wanted rich depth and warmth, so I layered a gorgeous stamped of colors using Lemon Whip, Sweet Mustard, Clementine, and Gathered Twigs. For the leaves, I wanted a lush green contrast, so I stamped them with Fresh Pear, Grassy Knoll, and Olive. Once all the stamping was complete, I used the coordinating Sunflower Fields Dies to cut out all the elements. To bring the arrangement to life, I gently shaped the petals with my fingers before adhering everything in place!

​Next came the cutest details! I stamped the adorable bees and beehives from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamp onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, then colored them with Copic markers and die-cut them with the matching dies.

​COPIC COLORS USED:
Bees: B12, BG0000, C4, E44, R30, Y11, Y19
Beehives: Y00, Y11, Y19, YR65

​For the background, I ink-blended Distress Oxide inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, and Crushed Olive directly onto the card front for a bright, sunny glow. Once it was dry, I heat embossed the 'many thanks' sentiment directly onto the upper card front.

​To finish up, I arranged the vibrant sunflowers and leaves along the bottom, tucked the beehives in, and popped up the little honeybees using foam adhesive for extra dimension.

​And there you have it! A bright, cheerful thank you card to brighten anyone's day. Happy crafting, everyone!

Foxy Friends Card with Tina H

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and today I made a fun card with the cute Foxy Friends stamp and die set. With so many adorable images it is for sure one of my favourites! 

Starting off with a square white card base, I selected another item I love using and that is a neutral  grey paper (Subtle Grey Tones) cut with one of the Stitched Square dies. To create more depth I made a frame inside this panel with the second largest die from the Stitched Semi Circles. I kept both grey paper pieces because we will use them in this design. To glue the middle part to the card base, I used the outer frame as my guide. 

Next, I cut two grass borders with a die from my stash and a green striped paper (Striped Silly). I glued these pieces to the back of my grey border frame before adhering the whole with foam tape to my card base.

After selecting one of the cute foxes (Foxy Friends stamp), a party hat, the cart, and watering can I also pulled the Garden Critters set for some extra images like the sweet bees. All the coloring was done with Copics in fun summer colors.

I played around with the placement of all the images so I could decide on a sentiment. With little room left I went with a classic one from Punny Fruit Greetings, stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink. This card only needed a few sparkly bits (Champagne Clear Jewels) to  finish.

I love how this sweet gardening scene came together, I would love to see your take on these sets! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

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 Farm Fresh.

So I cut a top fold white base card and added a piece of kraft cardstock to the front of it. Die cut a white rectangle using the Frilly Frames Hexagon and cut a pattern paper rectangle using the Classic Gingham. Cut a piece of green grass and ink blended it using Peeled Paint. Another border of grass I ink blended using Old Paper and Frayed Burlap.

Die cut the HAY four times out of white cardstock and once out of red cardstock using the Sydney Alphabet dies. Adhered them together and added some white gel pen details to it. Stamping the other sentiment trimmed it down to a banner.

Party Pets Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I have a cute birthday card for you using the Party Pets Stamps!

I started off by trimming a piece of yellow polka dot paper from the Polka-Dot Parade Paper pack to 4,25 x 5,5 inches to cover my A2 size card base. I then trimmed a piece of white card stock to 3,75 x 5 inches, and ink blended it using turquoise/blue for a background sky. Next, I trimmed a slightly larger black panel to go behind my ink blended panel and adhered them to the card base, using double sided tape. I stamped the Happy Birthday from the Party Pets Stamps set with Memento Tuxedo black ink in the upper left corner of the sky panel.

Next, on to the stamping and masking of the dogs, balloons and gift boxes from the Party Pets Stamps set, the white picket fence, grass and trees from the Spring Scenes Stamps set and some clouds from the Majestic Meadow Stamps set. I stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol ink friendly card stock. For the masking I used Spellbinders Masking Sheets. I then colored the images with Copic markers, see list below:

Grass: YG03/17/67
Trees: YG03/17/67, E21/23
White picket fence: N1
Corgi: E08/09/97, YR21, R30/32
Husky: W0/1, N3/4/5/6, R30/32
Beagle: N4/5, E51/53/55/57
Balloons, gifts: YR04, Y15/17, BG10/11/13, RV52/55, V000
Clouds: BG10

As I merged several images into one, I then fussy cut them out leaving a narrow white border as if I had used coordinating dies. There are coordinating dies available to the Party Pets set if you want to stamp each image separately and then arrange the scene! I used the coordinating dies to cut out the trees, fence and clouds using the Spring Scenes Dies and the Majestic Meadow Dies.

I trimmed the fence and the grass piece to fit the width of my ink blended panel and adhered it to the bottom using double sided tape. I Copic colored a 2,25 x 5 inches piece of alcohol ink friendly card stock to create a hill and used the Slimline Nature Borders die set to cut it out and tucked it in behind the fence and added the trees!

I added foam dots to the back of the dogs and gift boxes for dimension and adhered them to the scene. Lastly I used liquid glue and adhered the clouds!

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