Radiant Plumeria Cards with Angelica & Mendi

Hi friends! This is Angelica, and today I am sharing a card showcasing the beautiful Radiant Plumeria stamp set.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Radiant Plumeria Summer Themed Card by Angelica Conrad

I picked the layered leaves to make a one-layer card. I used my MISTI, making it easy to stamp several panels. The inks used are Pinkfresh Studio color families, and the black ink is Versafine Clair Nocturne. I used a Sharpie pen to add black dots. To finish the card, I used a C2 Copic marker to add drop-shadows to the leaves.

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope I have helped with ideas on making backgrounds.

Hi there!  Mendi here with a second card featuring the Radiant Plumeria Stamps and dies.

For my card today I started by cutting a piece of grid paper from the Gingham Pastels Paper pack cut to 4.25" x 5.5".  I then cut a piece of white cardstock to layer over the top, cutting it at an angle using the long edge of our Frilly Frames Stripes dies, cutting a second scalloped border from a small strip of white cardstock to run along the bottom edge of my card.


For my floral arrangement I stamp my flowers from the Radiant Plumeria set in three different color combinations (ink colors listed below) and popped up the white plumeria in the center with foam tape for extra dimension.

I finished off my card by stamping the word summer with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I then stamped the word happy onto a little strip of white cardstock and popped it up with a piece of foam tape as well.

Savanna Safari Cards with Lynn and Ashley

Hello there! It’s Lynn here today and I’m excited to be sharing a card I created featuring the fun Savanna Safari stamps and coordinating dies.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Savanna Safari Tropical Scenes Radiant Plumeria Frilly Frame Dies Stitched Semi-Circle Dies Birthday Card by Lynn Put

To create my card, I started out by stamping some of the adorable animal images from the Savanna Safari stamp set and coloring them using Copic markers then I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. I also used the Tropical Scenes stamp set and coordinating dies and used the palm tree and vines images.

For my background I die cut a piece of the Summer Splash patterned paper using the Frilly Frames Retro Petals dies and matted that piece with some green cardstock. I used the Stitched Semi-Circle dies with white cardstock and blended on some Carved Pumpkin and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink along the top and stamped the bottom with the water/hill image from the Tropical Scenes set which I colored using Copic markers.

I stamped my sentiment onto a banner and added some tropical leaves from the Radiant Plumeria stamp set and coordinating dies. After that I adhered my animal images, popping up the lion and toucan bird with foam tape.

Hello friends! It's Ashley with a clean and simple card using the adorable critters from Savanna Safari

Sunny Studio Stamps: Savanna Safari Circle Snowflake Dies Birthday Card by Ashley Ebben

I knew when I first saw the set that I wanted to make a sunset scene. I blended Distress Oxides in Worn Lipstick and Dried Marigold for the sky and added Scattered Straw for the grass. I stamped a few trees from Savanna Safari in Memento Tuxedo Black on top, then added grassy details with Copics. I die cut the overlapping circles from Snowflake Circle Frame from metallic gold cardstock, then cut down my ink blended background to fit inside. I added the circle piece to a white card base.

I stamped the animals from Savanna Safari in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics before cutting them out with the matching dies. I used foam tape to add them to my card. I then stamped the sentiment from Savanna Safari in Memento Tuxedo Black on the white card base to finish.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Sealiously Sweet Cards with Keeway Tsao

Hello friends! It’s Keeway Tsao from Kiwi Koncepts and I’ll be sharing some summer inspirations with you today. This year has been tough for all of us and never before I have I be so thankful to have this hobby to help me stay sane indoors and continue to reach out to my friends and family through cardmaking!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sealiously Sweet Tropical Scenes Summer Themed Cards by Keeway Tsao

My projects will be focused on the recent summer release, particularly the Sealiously Sweet stamps! These adorable seals caught my eye immediately and I can’t get enough of them. I colored the entire set with Copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies.

I also used the Tropical Scenes stamps to help me set this fun tropical scene for my adorable seals. I did some simple ink blending with distress oxide inks to give it that oceanic look and then I stamped my sentiment in the top right corner.

I added my colored island onto the card and then all the different seals for this fun, tropical party! Don’t you just want to jump in and party with them?

This next card uses the remaining seals and accessories that didn’t quite make it to the first card! This time, I decided to go for an oceanic shaker card. I used the Stitched Arch dies and Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 paper to create my frame and added a layer of acetate sheet behind it.

I created a simple backdrop with ink blending again and lightly splattered it with water and paint. I added some layers of foam tape around for the shaker frame and added lots of iridescent blue, green, and clear sequin into the area to give it that ocean sparkle. I then added my frame to close off the shaker area.

I usually like to shake the card at this point a couple times to make sure I had a good “seal” around the card so that sequins aren’t falling out. Then, at last, I can add the rest of my images to the card with foam tape.

I hope you enjoy today’s inspiration. Have a lovely summer!

Herringbone Frame Focused Cards with Rachel and Candice

Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel here and I am sharing a birthday card today that features the Frilly Frames Herringbone Die Set

Sunny Studio Stamps: Frilly Frame Dies Fancy Frame Dies Love Monkey Tropical Scenes Birthday Cards by Rachel Alvarado

I combined this set with the Frilly Frames Hexagon Die Set because I wanted a scalloped edge to go with my design. I used images from both the Love Monkey and Tropical Scenes Stamp Sets. All of my images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

For my background, I blended some Antique Linen, Twisted Citron, and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Inks. I splattered this blend with both water and diluted white, green, and brown paints for some added interest. To create my circle frame in the center, I used a basic circle die to cut a circle in the top center of my herringbone design and then used the Fancy Frame Circle Die Set to cut a scalloped circular frame from white card stock. Lastly, I heat embossed my sentiment (from both the Love Monkey and Savanna Safari stamp sets) onto a strip of black card stock using Fine Detail White Embossing Powder.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello my crafty friends! Candice back today with you sharing a card using the Frilly Frames Herringbone Frame as a stencil!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Frilly Frame Dies Cruising Critters Birthday Card by Candice Fisher

I used a few Sunny Studio products to create my card:
For the background, I trimmed a piece of pattern paper from the Spring Fling Pack to fit my card base of 5 x 6 1/2. I then die cut a stitched frame from thick black cardstock with a strip fitting into the bottom for the road.

I die cut the herringbone from sturdy cardstock and used this as my stencil to create the brick wall background. I taped the herringbone stencil over Bristol Smooth paper and inked with tea dye & antique linen, fading as I went up.

Next, I stamp the car full of cuties, colored them with copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. To put the card together, I glued the stenciled background into the frame and added the road along the bottom, using a white gel pen to add the lines. I then adhered the car with foam tape and stamped the sentiment in the top corner with Versafine black ink. I added a few droplets to finish the card!

Thank you so much for visiting today!

Sealiously Sweet Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with an interactive summer card using the adorable Sealiously Sweet set. These cute seals are enjoying a relaxing day at the pool: 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sealiously Sweet Stitched Semi-Circle Dies Happy Word Die Summer Themed Card by Vanessa Menhorn

I created a square card base from white cardstock and colored the edges with Copic Markers. Then I trimmed a panel of white cardstock slightly smaller than the card base. Using the Stitched Semi-circle Dies, I made a mask for my pool. First, I created the water. For this, I applied lines of masking fluid and inked the semi-circle with blue Distress Oxide Ink. I applied small water droplets and removed the masking fluid when everything was dried. Now I adhered a mask over the pool and inked the rest of my panel with grey Distress Oxide ink.

After I had applied tiny ink droplets, I drew the stones with a colored pencil. I removed the mask and die-cut a small circle from the position where the floating seal was going to sit. Then I stamped my images onto white cardstock, colored everything with Copic Markers and die-cut the elements with the matching dies. To make the seal float and turn around, I adhered a small coin to the back of the image, then a piece of foam tape onto the coin and behind the panel, underneath the circle, another small coin. Now I was ready to put the square panel onto my card base with foam tape.

I added the other images and die-cut the Happy Word Die from white cardstock. After I had colored it with the matching Copics, I adhered it to the card. Finally, I stamped the word "summer" onto a strip of black cardstock, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder and adhered it to the card with foam tape.

Now, let's see this card in action!

I'd love to join these cuties, how about you? Wishing you a happy day! Thanks for stopping by!

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

Hi everyone, Anja here and today I have something cute for you! I made a slimline card with the Sealiously Sweet Stamps. Aren't these seals way too adorable?! They are going to have some fun at the pool for sure!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sealiously Sweet Staggered Circle Dies Summer Themed Card by Anja Bytyqi

My white card base is different in size than a regular slimline card – it measures 7 5/8" × 3 11/16". I cut out a slightly smaller panel from aqua cardstock and used the Staggered Circle Die to create some windows. I trimmed a piece of teal cardstock to go behind the window openings.

I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and white heat embossed it. For a bit of dimension, I popped up the aqua panel with foam tape.

Next, I stamped the seals as well as the accessory stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. I tucked the seals inside the windows and scattered the other images all over the card to complete my fun summer scene.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a sunny day!
