The Graduate Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I'm sharing a cute card featuring  The Graduate stamp set.

For this card, I started by die-cutting the background using the Comic Strip Everyday die, and then ink-blended the different sections using shades of blue and green ink.

Next, I stamped the sentiment from The Graduate stamp set with the same green ink, die-cut it, and cut it again from blue cardstock. By layering the blue piece behind the main sentiment, I created a subtle shadow effect.

After that, I stamped the birds and leafy branches from the Love Birds stamp set, along with the graduation caps and diplomas from The Graduate stamp set, and I colored all the images with my Ohuhu markers.

Once everything was colored, I arranged and adhered all the elements onto the card, creating a playful graduation scene. To finish the card, I added highlights with a white gel pen and placed a few transparent dots.

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

Jungle Vines Die Focused Card with Yan

Hello crafters, it's Yan! Today I’m sharing a tropical-inspired card featuring the Jungle Vines Dies. This design focuses on layering, ink blending, and simple techniques to create a fresh and vibrant look.

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

COPIC COLOR:
Cockatiel : BG0000, BG10, E44, R46, Y00, Y02
Parrot : E44. R30, Y00, Y02, YR000
Toucan : C1, E44, R30, W1, W4, W7, Y00, Y02, Y15

Next, die cut several leafy pieces from green and white cardstock using the Jungle Vines Dies. Layer the pieces to create dimension and arrange them to form a balanced composition. For the background, blend Distress Oxides in Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Tumbled Glass onto white cardstock to create a soft tropical backdrop.

Then, I heat embossed a sentiment from the stamp set onto vellum paper for a clean and subtle finish. Finally, assemble all the elements using double-sided tape, adjusting placement as needed to complete the card.

This simple combination of layering and soft color blending is a great way to create a fresh, tropical design, and I hope it inspires your next card project.

Bundle of Joy Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina with an adorable baby card made with the Bundle of Joy stamp and die set! Instead of the more traditional pink or blue tones, I went with a coral, yellow and green palette for this project.

I started with a white card base slightly smaller than my panels which were created with the largest of the Rounded Rectangle Mat dies. After cutting two of these pieces from white card stock, I used a cloud die from my stash to create three individual layers of clouds. Two of them were then inked with a square pattern stencil and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide. The two remaining parts were also colored with the same ink.

I used liquid glue to adhere the four pieces together and added them to the smaller card base which will not be visible from the front of the card.  For my cloudy scene, I selected some cute baby clothes, hangers and the stork from the Bundle of Joy set. As an extra detail I stamped an adorable little duck (Quill Cuties) on the onesie and added a part of the bib to the playsuit. All these images were colored with coral, green and yellow Copic markers. 

My sentiment was taken from the versatile Inside Greetings Congrats set and stamped with a green ink from my stash on a strip of white paper. 

Next, I laid out my images and sentiment on the cloud background to decide where I needed to draw a clothesline. For this I used a green colored pencil and the largest of the Stitched Oval dies as a guide. Now I was ready to adhere my images and sentiment with foam tape. Lastly I sprinkled a few Iridescent Jewels for that extra sparkle!

This set is so sweet and I look forward to all your adorable baby cards! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

The Graduate Card with Marieke

Hello all, Marieke here. I'm back again with my weekly post for Sunny Studio Stamps. Today I hope to inspire you with a project that I made using The Graduate.

For my card I thought it would be funny to create a chalkboard kinda look. So I cut a white topfold base card. Cut a 3 x 5 1/2 inch black piece of cardstock and stamped the large sentiment out of The Graduate stamp on to it. Adhered the black piece of cardstock on the base card and trimmed a strip of Kraft cardstock, glued that under the black piece.

Heat set the numbers out of the Balloon Numbers stamps using a gold embossing powder. Die cut the numbers using the matching Balloon Numbers dies. Adhered them on the base and added some gold stars and confetti. To finish the chalkboard look, I added some anti static powder around the sentiment.

Used Copic Colors:
Fox - E09, YR27, YR24, YR23, YR21 / N6, N4, N2 / W3, W1, W00, 0 / R22, R20, R00
Black - N8, N6, N4, N2
Wood - E37, E35, E33, E31
Paper - E53, E51, E50
Red - R59, R29, R24

Stamped all the images out of Foxy Friends and The Graduate, colored them up using my Copic markers and cut them using the matching Foxy Friends and The Graduate dies.

Have a wonderful day!

Sweet As Can Bee Card with Tina M

Hello there! Tina M here sharing a card created with the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps!

I have a mini slim line card for you today! The size of the card base is 3,50 x 6 inches. I added a piece of orange polka dot paper from the Polka-Dot Parade Paper pack to cover the card base, using double sided tape.

Next, on a piece of white card stock I ink blended orange and pink ink. I then trimmed a piece of black cardstock for a frame to go behind my ink blended panel and adhered them both to the card base, using double sided tape. Now on to the stamping of the images!

I stamped the bees, the beehive, the little bucket and the heart shaped swirl from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps set and the branch, leaves and flowers from the Love Birds Stamps set on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and used the coordinating Sweet As Can Bee Dies and Love Birds Dies to die cut them out and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below. I added the leaves and flowers to the branch using liquid glue.

Copic colors used:
Bees: YR04, Y15/17, B01/000
Beehive: YR04/07, Y15/17, N5/6/8
Branch: E21/23/25
Leaves: YG03/17
Flowers: Y17, RV52/55

Next, I added foam dots to the back of the die cut images for dimension and adhered them to the card, except for the heart swirl which I glued directly to the panel using liquid glue.

For the sentiment I stamped the “Just buzzin´ by to say” from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps set at the bottom of the panel. I used the Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies to die cut the HI letters out of pink and black cardstock. I layered and adhered the letters to each other and then onto the panel.

To complete my card I used Distress Rock Cand and Distress Matte medium for glue to the wings of the bees and to the center of the flowers for some sparkle!

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