Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Amy Kolling

Hello! It's Amy from Stamp-n-Paradise and I'm excited to be here today to share with you some cards using some of the Fall 2019 Release! 

Let's start with the fabulous Sunflower Fields stamps. I am a Kansas girl so we have fields of sunflowers growing and it's almost time for peak time! I can't wait! Using various Altenew inks, the sunflowers and leaves were stamped and die cut.

The sunflowers were added over a background of Frilly Frames Retro Petals. It was die cut from white cardstock but leaving some of the petals in place. I love using dies like this as it adds just a bit of texture! The frame was added over a piece of gorgeous blue pattern paper from Heroic Halftones. For the sentiment, I added two hand trimmed banner strips that were white heat embossed.

My second card uses the adorable critters from Woodsy Autumn. I created my scene with various pattern papers from Heroic Halftones and Striped Silly.

My images were all Copic colored, die cut, and added to my scene with foam adhesive. A simple white heat embossed black sentiment strip was added. To round out my images, I added white details with a white pigment pen.

I stamp all the images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring, I cut all of them with the coordinating dies. It always lovely to look at the popped out images with fine white outlines around them. Then I create the background with a piece of blue cardstock along with fluffy white clouds using Fluffy Cloud Border Die

Hi everyone, Anja here with a new card using the Cruising Critters Stamps. Aren't these critters piled up in their retro cabriolet just the cutest?!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Cruising Critters Plane Awesome Seasonal Trees Birthday Cards by Anja Bytyqi

I combined this fun image with the pennant banner and little exhaust clouds from the Plane Awesome set. I also added two birdies from the Seasonal Trees Stamps. All images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Next, I picked the gorgeous leafy patterned paper from the Colorful Autumn 6x6 Paper pack and adhered it to the card base which measures 4.25"x6". For the road, I repeatedly stamped the dashed line in VersaMark Ink onto a strip of grey cardstock and white heat embossed it. I kept the design simple and finally adhered the images with foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you again next Thursday!

-----------------------------------------------------

Hi everybody! Vanessa here with a cute card using the adorable Cruising Critters. I wanted to give this stamp a different look, simply by focusing on the passengers of the car:

Sunny Studio Stamps: Cruising Critters Birthday Cards by Vanessa Menhorn

I masked off a square on a panel of white cardstock and stamped the image. Then I masked the image and applied Distress Oxide Inks. I punched circles from a scrap of paper and used this as a stencil to apply white pigment ink. After everything was dried, I removed the masks and colored the critters with Copics.

Now I covered the front of my card with patterned paper from the Heroic Halftones Paper and adhered the stamped panel. I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiments, using the Devoted Doggies set, onto two strips of matching cardstock, trimmed them and adhered them with foam tape. Finally, I added tiny sequins to the inked part of the card.

This group of critters is so lovely, don't you agree? Thanks for visiting today!

Hello friends! It’s Ana here today sharing two adorable gift boxes featuring Super Duper stamps and dies.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Super Duper Cityscape Border Dies Comic Strip Speech Bubble Dies Wrap Around Box Dies Super Hero Themed Gift Boxes by Ana Anderson

To start, I created two boxes using Wrap Around Box Dies and blue and pink cardstock. I stamped, colored and die cut the images from Super Duper stamp set next. I stamped the sentiments (from the stamp set) in matching colors of each project and used Comic Strip Speech Bubbles dies as well as Super Duper dies, to cut them out.

Elegant Leaves Cards with Angelica and Juliana

Hi friends, Angelica here with a colorful card featuring the Elegant Leaves stamp set. This stamp set makes me ready for fall. The leaves are gorgeous, and there’s a variety of words that can be put together for different Thankful/Grateful sentiments.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Elegant Leaves Frilly Frame Dies Fall Themed Grateful For You Card by Angelica Conrad

I stamped the leaves with embossing ink onto Fabriano Artistico Extra White Watercolor Paper. I poured white embossing powder over the images, tapped the excess powder off, then used my heat tool to melt the powder. I did this process a few times to cover the panel. Next, I taped the panel to a clip board, and tapped Nuvo Shimmer powders over the paper. I used colors Solar Flare, Violet Brocade, Falling Leaves, and Golden Sparkle. I sprayed the paper heavily with water to activate the powders, and used a paper towel to pick up any colors that started pooling too much together. Once I was happy with the colors, I let the panel air dry.

I tapped a few shimmer colors onto my work space, and used water and a #2 round watercolor brush to darken up the leaves. I picked words from the stamp set to make a sentiment, then stamped and gold heat embossed them. I used the Frilly Frames Retro Petals Die to trim and add a stitched border to the sentiment strip. I used a beautiful plum card stock to back the sentiment and background with, then attached the panel to a card base.

I hope I have helped give new ideas for on a different way to use this stamp set. Thanks for stopping by!

--------------------------------------------------

Hello crafty friends! It's Juliana with you today to share a fall themed card using the Elegant Leaves Stamps combined with watercolor markers! I'm not a watercolor specialist, so I find using this kind of marker to be a great way to give you the beautiful look of watercolor but with the ease of markers and a water brush.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Elegant Leaves Fall Themed Thankful For You Card by Juliana Michaels

To get started, I trimmed a piece of watercolor paper to 4 x 5.25 inches and wiped it down with a powder tool. I then randomly stamped the leaves onto the paper using a tinted embossing ink so I could see the images while I was stamping. I then sprinkled the images with gold embossing powder and heat set it using a heat gun. I recommend working in small sections and to play around with the placement of the stamps so that you can get a nice pattern. While I was working on the leaf pattern, I also determined the placement of the title and stamped and embossed it using the same technique.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Elegant Leaves Fall Themed Thankful For You Card by Juliana Michaels

Once all of the embossing, was complete, I grabbed a mix of Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers in the following colors and a water brush - Orange, Wine Red, Yellow, Bright Yellow, Mid Green, Brown and Deep Brown. I love how the embossed edges helps hold the ink and water in the place where you want it. To color in each of the leaves, I selected a couple of colors and added just a touch of color to the section of the leaf where I wanted that color. I don't color in the entire area with color. Instead, I draw a small line or dash to get some color onto the paper and then use the water brush to blend the colors. As I'm blending and coloring in each image with the water brush, I dab off excess color and water onto a paper towel.

After I finished the water coloring, I then scribbled the different colors onto my craft mat and added a bit of water to them. I then used a thin small paint brush to splatter color onto the paper. Then, to finish the card, I layered it onto a piece of green paper from the Gingham Jewel Tones 6x6 Paper Pad.
