Guest Designer Spotlight: Autumn Themed Cards with Wanda Guess

Hi everyone! Wanda Guess here! I'm very happy and excited to be a guest today on the Sunny Studio Blog! I am totally loving everything in the new release because my favorite season is fall! I am obsessed with the paper packs from Sunny Studio - I think I'm using them on every card I make lately!

I have two projects to share today - both with an autumn theme. I used lots of color and lots of patterned paper too - just my style. Happy September everyone!

First up today is a cheerful autumn card made featuring the Happy Harvest stamps and coordinating dies. The images are so fun and cute, and the sentiments are gorgeous.

I love it when Sunny Studio mixes the fonts! The font for this card is from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set.

I used my Copic markers to color the tree, the birds and the pumpkins. I created a soft background using Distress inks. I started with a white A2 card base and layered Sunny Studio gingham patterned paper in a beautiful teal. Then I layered some vellum, and then my top layer.

I stamped and die cut all the images and colored them in. I added glitter accents and white gel pen accents. Two of my favorite ways to jazz up a card. I layered everything onto the card using foam tape. To finish off, I used clear Nuvo Drops and added clear dots! I love introducing blue or teal with orange since those colors look so nice together.

My second project is a sweet treat bag made with more beautiful Sunny Studio patterned papers, and the FUN Nutty For You acorn die set. SO CUTE! I love this acorn guy with his pink cheeks and little smile!

The bag is a glassine bag from my stash. I put some gold/almond Hershey's Kisses inside for a sweet treat and then folded and stapled the top. I wrapped a band of paper around the entire bag. Then I die cut out the acorn and attached it with foam tape.

I used the supper pretty Autumn Splendor stamps and coordinating dies to make a couple of leaves for the top. Those are also attached with foam tape. I added a small circle with the sentiment and some stamped leaves (from the Happy Harvest stamp set).

Finish it off with a bit of natural twine! Sure to make anyone smile. These would be cute for the Thanksgiving table or just any fall occasion. 

Big thanks to Mendi for having me as a guest. Please pop over to my blog to see more of my cards and creations. Have a wonderful day everyone! Happy autumn!

  3. Well, the fall tree card is terrific, but this treat bag has melted my heart! Not only did you make the most darling-of-all-time acorn (complete with pink cheeks made of patterned paper) but you filled with it with one of my favorite candies. I think I need to come trick or treat at your house, Wanda!! :)
