Snail Mail Friendship Valentine's Day Card with Mendi

Hello there!  I hope you've been enjoying a wonderful weekend so far!  I just wanted to pop in with another card using our new Snail Mail Stamps and dies that would be perfect for sending a friend this Valentine's Day.

I had colored and cut out all these pieces to create this card prior to our sneak peek week, but in the frenzy of my cardmaking they were buried and lost under a large pile on my desk. When I was tidying things up a bit I came across them, along with some other pieces sitting on my desk and thought it would be fun to take a creative break from the rest of my "to do" list and create this little card.

I paired the images from the Snail Mail set with our Blooming Frames Dies, inking behind it with some Worn Lipstick Distress ink using my Jumbo Dauber. I then colored a separate cardstock panel with some Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron distress ink and topped it with our Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies which perfectly layer for this petal frame die-cut.

Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope I've inspired you to look around your desk to see what scraps you have left to turn into a card and send to someone you love. It's a super fun challenge and I find it always gets my creative juices flowing.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Garden Fairy and Feeling Froggy Cards with Marine Simon

Sunny Studio Stamps: Garden Fairy & Feeling Froggy Cards and Gift Tags with Guest Designer Marine Simon

Hi everyone, Marine here with you today, I am thrilled to be guesting for Sunny Studio! 

I have three projects to share with you, so let's start with three lovely tags featuring fairies from Garden Fairy. I colored them using my alcohol markers, and then cut three circles out of pattern papers from Spring Fling using a die from Scalloped Circle Mat 1. Stuck a fairy on each tag, and applied glitter paste to their wings because fairies always need sparkling wings!

My second project is an interactive card showcasing Garden Fairy again, as well as images from older sets: Seasonal Trees, Savanna Safari, Tropical Scenes, and Spring Scenes. Stamped all the images using alcohol marker friendly black ink, and colored everything using my alcohol markers. And to create the background, I used antique linen, mowed lawn and frayed burlap distress inks.

I created the interactive part of the card, and attached all my cute images on my panel using glue dots and foam squares. And at the end, you enter an enchanted forest where butterflies are changed into magical fairies! I wonder if such a place exists.

My third and final project features the adorable Feeling Froggy stamp set. My favorite thing is definitely building scenes, so mixed this new set with older sets to create this cute pond scene: Savanna Safari, Penguin Pals, Spring Scenes, and Best Fishes.

Started by coloring all my cute images using my alcohol markers, and I created the background using several layers: a rectangle panel, a wavy border, a grass border and a hill border. Colored all those elements using distress inks, and then assembled everything on the rectangle panel to create the scene I had in mind.

Slimline Pennants Focused Cards with Candice and Kay

Hello! Candice back with you this Friday and I love how the new Slimline Pennant dies line up to create a frame and that is how I used it on my shaker card today!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Slimline Dies Balloon Rides Fluffy Cloud Dies Everyday Shaker Card by Candice Fisher

I used these Sunny Studio products to create my slimline shaker card:

I began my slimline with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base. For the background, I die cut the large pennant from Bristrol Smooth cardstock, inked it with cracked pistachio, twisted citron and antique linen and added a few of the stitched clouds.

I then created the shaker by using the two largest slimline pennants taped together with the Bristol Smooth cardstock, adhered the acetate behind the frame, added all the green sequins onto the inked panel and used double foam tape to close it up. Next, I stamped the balloons, critters, clouds and hearts, colored them with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I used strong adhesive and foam tape to add them over the acetate and the sentiment on a banner to finish the card!

Thank you for visiting today!

Hi there, Kay here to share a card I made with the fun new Slimline Pennants dies. I had to use the Captivating Camellias stamp set and coordinating dies along with them because they just stamp up so pretty! Plus I wanted to try some different color combinations! So fun! 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Slimline Dies Captivating Camellias Everyday Card by Kay Miller

So for my card, I blended some Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink onto white card stock and cut that out with the middle size pennant die. I then used the same die and cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Guava cardstock. I used two of the additional dies in the set to cut the scalloped edge and stitching. I layered this beneath the piece that I had ink blended.

I stamped the flowers using four shades of ink from Pinkfresh: Coral Reef, Passion Fruit, Berrylicious and Candy Apple. The leaves were stamped with Fresh Pear and Olive from Pinkfresh and Artichoke from Lawn Fawn. These were all cut out with the coordinating dies and added to the card with foam tape. The sentiment is from the new Inside Greetings Sympathy stamp set and I stamped it below the flowers with black ink. I also added a few small white pearls along the scallops at the bottom and a few around the flowers as well.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Country Scenes Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a card using Country Scenes. I love Mendi's various backdrop stamps, they make it easy to create lovely scenes! 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Country Scenes My Otter Half Rustic Winter Everyday Card by Vanessa Menhorn

For today's card I started with a white cardstock panel and stamped the pond border, the grass, the butterfly, the dragonfly and the lotus flower. After I had masked these images, I stamped the otters, covering the bottom half of the stamp to make them float in the water. Then I masked the otters, die-cut the birch trees from masking paper and adhered these to the front, too. I inked the pond with Peacock Feathers and Pine Needles Distress Oxide Inks and the sky and grass with Cracked Pistachio and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks. After I had removed the masks, I colored everything with Copics.

Country Scenes stamps (pond border, lotus flower)
My Otter Half stamps + dies (otters, sentiment, word)
Feeling Froggy stamps (dragonfly)
Garden Fairy stamps (butterfly)
Easter Wishes stamps (grass)
Rustic Winter dies (birch trees)

Finally, I stamped the sentiment, die-cut the "otter" from pink cardstock, adhered everything to the card base and added details with a white gel pen.

Thank you so much for visiting today! Have a lovely day!

Hello everyone, Anja here and today I'm featuring the versatile Country Scene Stamps. I picked the mountains with the fir tree border and combined them with the fun Plane Awesome set.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Country Scenes Plane Awesome Everyday Card by Anja Bytyqi

The background colors were inspired by a gorgeous winter sunset. On a piece of Bristol cardstock, I blended together the Distress Oxide Inks Chipped Sapphire, Faded Jeans, Stormy Sky, Tattered Rose, Dried Marigold and Crackling Campfire.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Country Scenes Plane Awesome Everyday Card by Anja Bytyqi

I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. The clouds were stamped in Faded Jeans to match the sky background. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. The sentiment inside the banner and the larger cut-off cloud are included the Balloon Rides set.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an awesome day!
