Love Birds Card with Rachel

Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel here with a shadow box card featuring the adorable new Love Birds Stamp Set

Sunny Studio Stamps: Love Birds Card by Rachel Alvarado (featuring Picket Fence Border Dies)

To start, I first created my shadow box from scratch. When folded, it measures 5" x 6.5" and can fit easily in a standard 5"x7" envelope. When upright, it measures 4.5" wide by 5" tall. To create my base, I simply trimmed two pieces of white card stock to 5" x 7" and scored each piece at both 1/2" and 5". I die cut a stitched circle into one of the pieces to create a window, stamped my sentiment to the piece with the window, and then attached both the front and back pieces of my shadow box together by adding some glue to the 1/2" tab pieces.

I next stamped all of my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic alcohol markers. I then used the coordinating Love Birds Die Set to cut them out. Prior to adding my images to the inside of my shadow box card, I first die cut a grass panel (from green card stock) and a fence (from white card stock) using the Picket Fence Border Die Set. I adhered the grass first directly behind the bottom opening of my circular window and then added the fence piece behind my grass.

For my background, I blended some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink onto a 4.5" x 5" piece of smooth white card stock. Lastly, I added some hearts using clear acetate in the areas where it would look like the hearts were floating.

Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by! I had so much fun working with this adorable set and hope you enjoyed my card today! For more card making inspiration, feel free to check out my Instagram Feed.

Love Birds Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and my last card for the year is a sweet love themed one. Star of the show are the adorable cuties from the Love Birds which comes with matching dies. How sweet is this Valentine’s Day set!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Love Birds Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Bursting Hearts Dies, Scalloped Heart Dies)

You can never have enough hearts on a love themed card, so I went all out with the beautiful Bursting Hearts die. I cut this panel from white cardstock. Not only do you get a gorgeous background, but also lots of cute hearts as an extra bonus. I put them in a little bag to use on later projects.

There are so many ways in which this panel can be used so today I decided to select a blue dotted paper from Dots & Stripes Pastel. Layering the white heart panel on top creates a fun contrast. Especially when you also add a heart (Scalloped Heart Dies) and ink it in a bright red color with blending brushes and Distress Oxide Lumberjack Plaid.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Love Birds Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Bursting Hearts Dies, Scalloped Heart Dies)

I selected two cuties from the Love Birds set and colored them with my Copics in happy colors that would match my background elements. The sentiment was selected from the same set and stamped onto a small white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink and a red ink from my stash.

The two birds and the banner were mounted to the heart with foam tape, and they fit just perfect. It’s a great focal point for this multi-layer card. A few Silver Jewels were scattered around the cute couple as a final embellishment.

I had a lot of fun creating this sweet card and I hope to see your creations soon! Thank you for visiting the blog and a very Happy New Year!

Love Birds Ornaments with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back for the last time of the year with this duo of Valentine ornaments showcasing the ever so sweet Love Birds. And I had so much fun coloring on kraft cardstock for my Merry Mocha see-through tags that I decided to do it again with those lovely birdies.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Love Birds Valentine Ornaments by Marine Simon (featuring Scalloped Heart Dies, Stitched Heart Dies)

So I started off by stamping the four birds, the branches, multiple leaves, flowers and hearts on a light kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I used my Spectrum Noir Illustrator and Graph'it brush markers to color them all, and then used the coordinating dies to cut everything. And I don't know why, but when I color on kraft cardstock I don't feel the need of adding white highlights to my images, but in that case I did add a dot on each bird's eye using a white gel pen, just to make them pop a little bit more.

Next I created my two heart shaped ornaments following the same design for both, so here are the different steps for one:

1. Cut a large Scalloped Heart out of a light brown woodgrain cardstock, another one out of a dark kraft cardstock, and attach them back to back using liquid glue

2. Cut a large Scalloped Heart out of a colored cardstock, and cut a heart shaped window out of it using the largest Stitched Heart 2 to create a heart frame

3. Glue this heart frame on the woodgrain heart panel using liquid glue

4. Cut a small Stitched Heart 2 out of a darker brown cardstock than the one at step 1, stamp and emboss a greeting from Love Birds on that heart, and attach that heart at the back of the ornament using 1mm foam squares

Next I attached my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added hemp twine to create the handles, and tied bows that I added at the top of each ornament using liquid glue. And that's it! Very simple, but yet super cute. 

I hope that you like those ornaments! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you very soon!

Love Birds Card with Gladys

Hello crafty friends, Gladys here! I'm excited to be back on the blog with a sweet card featuring the new mini stamp set called Love Birds. It is perfect for Valentine's day but I can see it used year-round for birthdays, anniversary and the holiday season.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Love Birds Card by Gladys Marcelino (featuring Slimline Dies)

I started by stamping all the images from the set using alcohol-friendly ink. I colored them with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. Although this is a mini set it has lots of images to build scenes with. It has multiple birds facing opposite directions as well as a branch, different sized leaves, flowers, hearts, and several sentiments. I really like how the birds are drawn in this set, so sweet and cute!

Next, I used the Slimline Scalloped Frame die to cut from thick white cardstock. I trimmed it down to fit on an A2 size card panel. For the background, I used a cloud stencil with salvaged patina distress oxide ink. I foam mounted the panel onto a lilac patterned paper which was cut from A2 size stitched rectangle die. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Love Birds Card by Gladys Marcelino (featuring Slimline Dies)

I assembled the branch, leaves, flowers on the background panel and adhered them with liquid glue. I added double-sided foam tape on all the birds to give them dimension. For the sentiment I used the "love" word die from the Scalloped Oval Mat 2 die set to cut multiple times from white cardstock and lilac cardstock to match the pattern paper. I combined the word die with a sentiment from the love bird stamp set to complete this simple and sweet card.

Thanks so much for joining me. Have a wonderful day!

Love Bird Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with you with a valentine theme card featuring the Love Birds stamps and dies. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your family. Moving from all the holiday cards to valentine theme card felt like a big change...lol.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Love Bird Card by Isha Gupta (featuring Bursting Heart Dies, Stitched Heart Dies, Scalloped Heart Dies)

I started by die-cutting a white panel using the Bursting Heart Dies. Next, take a vellum and sponge inks mimosa, mango sorbet, bubble gum and raspberry bliss by Pinkfresh studio. Adhere behind the die-cut panel. Adhere to a white card.

Die-cut the hearts using the Stitched Heart 2 dies from vellum and white card. Die-cut another heart using the Scalloped Heart die. Sponge the same inks to this piece. Stack the hearts using 3d foam and liquid glue.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Love Bird Card by Isha Gupta (featuring Bursting Heart Dies, Stitched Heart Dies, Scalloped Heart Dies)

Stamp the images from the Love Birds stamps, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere to the card. Stamp the sentiment using versamark ink, sprinkle WOW! opaque white embossing powder and adhere to the card.

Thank you for dropping by and Happy New Year to you all.

Love Birds Card with Bobbi

Love is in the air with the new Love Birds stamps and dies by Sunny Studio Stamps. Sending some love could not be any cuter with these sweet birds on a branch. The flowers and leaves fit perfectly on the branch to make a “sweet tweet” scene! It’s Bobbi here sharing this lovable card perfect for a special valentine, wedding or anniversary greeting.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Love Birds Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Scalloped Heart Dies)

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I stamped, colored, and die cut the birds, branches and flowers. I colored the birds using Booo, B00, E50, R00, YR68, YR07 and C08. I used YG67, YG17 and YG03 for the leaves and Y19 for the yellow centers. The branch was colored using E49 and E55.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Love Birds Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Scalloped Heart Dies)

I cut two scallop hearts using the Scalloped Hearts die set from white cardstock. I assembled the bird/branch scene on the largest of the two hearts and used foam tabs to attach the love birds. I stamped three hearts between the birds and colored them in pink. I stamped leaves and daisies on the smaller sized heart. I stamped the sentiment, “love birds” in black ink on the larger of the two hearts. I set both hearts aside to work on the background.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Love Birds Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Scalloped Heart Dies)

For the background, I used pattern papers for the top and bottom using papers from the Joyful Holiday paper pack (the gingham paper) and the Sweater Weather paper pack (for the cable knit design.) I added two 1/8″ strips of white and pink to finish the seam between the patterns. Both hearts were attached using foam tabs to make them stand out from the background. I used a white Gelly Roll pen to add white highlights to the leaves.

Introducing Love Birds Stamps & Tree Branch Die For Valentine's Day!

Merry Christmas!  I hope you all are enjoying a fun and relaxing holiday with your loved ones today. This week our team will be transitioning from Christmas to Spring, featuring a new mini stamp set called Love Birds that is perfect for Valentine's Day, however as I think my cards will illustrate this set doesn't have to be limited to a single holiday. Let's jump right in!

Card No.1: For my first card featuring the Love Birds Stamps, I started by creating my pastel rainbow cloud background by inking on alternating distress inks together with masks I had cut from our Fluffy Cloud Border Dies. I then trimmed down my panel to 3.5" wide and added the stitching and scalloped trim to the edges with our Slimline Basic Border Dies

The love bird set comes with a bare tree branch and individual leaves making it easy to customize for both winter and spring scenes and to best position the leaves to suit your card. In this case, I was able to use the same tree branch three times, but by rotating it and placing the leaves in different spots for each of them, I was able to give my card a bit more personality. Finally, I heat-embossed a punny greeting from the set onto our Brilliant Banner 1 Dies which I had inked with a coordinating shade of Picked Raspberry distress ink to tie in with the pink cloud below.

Card No.2: Next up I paired two of those same adorable birds from the new Love Birds Stamps with our new Tree Branch Dies and the birdhouses from our A Bird's Life Stamps and Little Birdie Stamps. To create my cloud background, I used the coordinating cloud dies from our Plane Awesome Die set which I cut from masking material and then inked over using my favorite Jumbo Dauber. I then added the stitched edge along the bottom of my panel using that same Slimline Basic Border die.

To give my birdhouses the appearance they were hanging from the tree, I poked holes in my background panel and used a fat needle with some embroidery floss to string them on, taping the ends of the floss to the back of my panel before adhering the panel to my card base. I then was able to adhere my birdhouses onto my card and hide any holes. Before doing this though, I first adhered a 1" thick strip of red gingham patterned paper to the bottom of my card from our Classic Gingham Paper pack and layered a lacy scalloped edge from our Eyelet Lace Border Dies

Card No.3: For my next card featuring the adorable Love Birds, I paired them with a greeting from our new My Heart Stamps (which won't be fully unveiled or available to purchase until next week). This greeting was designed to perfectly fit within our Stitched Heart 2 Dies and Scalloped Heart Dies.

In this case, I stamped the greeting first with dye ink, and then while it was still in my MISTI tool, I stamped it again with VersaMark Ink so I could sprinkle the greeting with a little bit of clear embossing powder. In this case, my dye ink wasn't matching my cardstock as well as I would have liked, and heat embossing it warmed up the tones just enough to make them match better. It also has the added bonus of lending a bit of shine and sparkle to my card in person. 

To complete my card, I pierced my background using our Dotted Diamond Landscape Die, added the new Tree Branch Die for my birdie to perch on, and our Pink Spinel Jewels to the center of each stamped flower blossom. It was a fairly quick and simple card to create, but I love how adding the little flowers with the jewels gave it just the touch of oomph it was missing.

Card No.4: For my last Love Birds card of the day, I paired them with our larger Out On A Limb tree branch die which I thought was a better scale to match the new free Cherry Blossom die that will automatically come with all retail orders placed in our store starting today! I repeatedly cut the blossoms from white cardstock, inked them with Spun Sugar Distress Ink, and then accentuated the veining detail using my Copic Marker before adding the little center portion which I had also colored with my Copics over a piece of scratch paper. For my background, I inked it up using the same masks I had cut from our Fluffy Clouds Border Dies for my first card.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and will continue to check back each day this week to see more fun ideas using this cute set by the rest of the team. :)
