Distinctive Door Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hi! Leanne here and I'm sharing a spooky cute Halloween card today. I have used the Distinctive Door dies to create a haunted house front porch scene. 

This card is A2 size. I started with a black card stock panel and added a light grey panel trimmed a bit smaller. I scored lines 1/2" inch apart on the grey panel to give it the look of siding. I die cut the Distinctive Door pieces from dark grey card stock. Before assembling, I blended on some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink onto all the porch pieces. When I adhered some of the porch pieces, I intentionally made them a little crooked. I thought this reinforced the whole haunted house vibe. 

Copic colors used: orange - YR21, YR12, YR16; purple - V22, V25, V99; green - G43, G46; black - N4, N6; brown E40, E41, E43; rosy cheeks - R20

Once I had my haunted front porch assembled, I added some of the adorable images from the Too Cute to Spook stamp set. I Copic colored the images and then used the companion Too Cute to Spook dies to cut them out. To finish this scene, I added webs to the top corners and stamped the trick or trick sentiment directly onto the door.

Crisp Apple & Punny Apple Greetings Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog. I have a punny card to share with you featuring the Crisp Apple Die and Punny Apple Greetings from the latest release.

Using the Crisp Apple Die, I die cut three apples, leaves and stems out of Bristol Smooth cardstock. To add color, I ink blended them with Candied Apple, Fired Brick and Gathered Twigs Distress Inks and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. I assembled the apples and highlighted with a white gel pen.

For the background, I took a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and used the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils with some Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink to create a gingham pattern. I loved how I was able to create my own matching patterned paper with the same color ink that I used for the rest of the card. 

I die cut an oval using the largest die from the Stitched Oval 2 Dies set and Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. I added some craft foam to the back of the oval before adhering the oval to the inked background.

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner 3 Die to die cut a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I added color to the banner with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. Once it was dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Punny Apple Greetings onto the banner with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I also used the same stamp set and ink to stamp the word "You're" onto a piece of white cardstock. I trimmed out the word with scissors.

I adhered the left and right apples directly onto the oval with liquid adhesive. Foam tape was used to adhere the center apple and banner onto the oval. The "You're" sentiment was tucked above the banner. I adhered the panel to a white card base (4.25" x 5.5") and finished the card with some sparkling clear sequins.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. Be sure to check out the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Holiday Cards with Rachel Alvarado

Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel here from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I am thrilled to be back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with two Christmas-themed cards using items from the new release.

For my first card, I created an 8.5" x 3.5" one-layer slimline card featuring the adorable new Roly Poly Penguins Set.

I first stamped a rough draft layout of my card (as shown above) onto a piece of scrap paper prior to actually stamping my actual card. I then used this rough draft and my MISTI to stamp and mask my images as I went. For my masking pieces, I used a piece of Gina K Designs Masking Magic Sheets to stamp my images onto before fussy cutting with a pair of scissors.

Once I was finished stamping and masking all of my images, I then added some Salvaged Patina Distress Ink to create my background. I then removed my masking pieces and colored my images with Copic Markers. Lastly, I used a Sakura White Gelly Roll Pen to add some white "snow" dots on top of my images as well as stamped my sentiment from the Festive Greetings Stamp Set in the top left corner of my card.

Copic Colors Used:

• Warm White: 0, W00, W1, W3
• Cool White: 0, C00, C1, C3
• Black: W5, W7, W9
• Reds: R14, R35, R46, R89

For my second card, I featured the new Merry Mocha Stamp and Die Set as well as the previously released Mug Hugs Set and Frilly Frames Stripes Dies. I once again stamped my images onto a sheet of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored them with Copic Markers (the reds and cool whites are the same colors as listed for the card above.) 

Prior to coloring the mugs, I added a snowflake to the front of each one and drew some patterned lines on the mugs from the Mug Hugs Set with a fine-tip black marker pen.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today and will check out this amazing release! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by!

Crisp Apple & Punny Apple Greetings Card with Nicky

Hello friends, this is Nicky with you today and I'm sharing a new friendship card with you that was created using products from the latest release, focusing on the Crisp Apple Dies, and paired with formerly released products which are great staples to have in your die collection.

I ink blended a white A2 panel of cardstock using 'Blush' ink by The Stamp Market. I then took another A2 panel and created two grass strips using the Mini Grass Border dies. I ink blended the grass with 'Gumdrop' ink by The Stamp Market and then I used the Picket Fence Die to create the white picket fence and I glued the grass and fence to the pink background and set it to one side.

I die cut white cardstock using the Tree Branch Die and ink blended it using Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Inks. This die cut was backed with a skinny strip of foam tape and applied to the background.

Next, I used the Crisp Apple Die and die cut the small apple image 6 times and created several leaves too. Leaves were ink blended with the same Gumdrop ink mentioned above and the red apples were done with 'Lipstick' ink by The Stamp Market.

Punny Apple Greetings was used to create both the sentiment and a smiley face on each of the apples, I then glued all the components together where necessary and backed with foam tape and applied them to the scene.

Last but not least I took three of the bird images from Little Birdie and stamped and coloured them. I used Copic markers in B24, B12, B41, BG0000, R000 to colour them and I blushed their cheeks with R22, R21, R20 and R00. I fussy cut the images and adhered them to the scene. Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and some daisies dotted in the grass then the whole panel was backed with white craft foam and applied to a fractionally bigger card base.

I certainly hope you enjoyed my happy little scene card and I'll see you again next Friday with something brand new.

Autumn Garland Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this bright and bold card showcasing the gorgeous Autumn Garland. 

I really wanted to feature two garlands on the same panel, but wasn't sure if they would fit, so I was happy that they did! I only had to trim a little bit of each element, and was able to keep both garlands on my panel. And once again, I chose to use kraft cardstock for the background panel, and for the garlands as well. I like to stencil and color on kraft cardstock all year round, but, to me, doing this during the fall season really emphasizes the autumn vibe of a card.

So, I started off by stamping two Autumn Garlands on kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them using the matching die, and colored them both using my alcohol markers. And I used my all time favorite autumn color palette, which is red, orange, yellow, khaki green, aqua and brown.

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel, and added texture to this panel using the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal die. And I colored it using the Diagonal Stripes stencil along with oxide inks in the same color palette as the Autumn Garlands: lumberjack plaid, rusty hinge, fossilized amber, peeled paint and peacock feathers. I mixed some vintage photo oxide ink and some ground espresso oxide ink with water, added splatters to the panel using a small brush, and then did the same with copic opaque white and with fossilized amber distress spritz for some nice shimmery splatters.

I added the same splatters to my garlands, and once they were dry, I attached them both on my panel using 1mm foam squares and trimmed the excess on the edges. I white heat embossed "Autumn greetings" from Autumn Garland on brown cardstock, cut "Autumn" using the matching die, trimmed "Greetings" into a slim banner, and attached both pieces between the garlands using 2mm foam squares. And finally I glued a few golden pearls here and there for an extra shiny touch.

And that's it! I really love how my card turned out, and I hope you like it too. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Brilliant Banner 3 Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today I am featuring the versatile Brilliant Banner 3 die, combined with one of my favorite sets Holiday Hugs. The matching die makes it easy for the cute bear to hold all kinds of stuff like this sweet mug!

I love the start with a simple white card base and add a colorful layer on top. This time, I selected a red gingham paper from Joyful Holiday and cut it with the outer die of the Frilly Frames Stripes.

Each time I use a layered stamp set, I make sure to create a few more pieces. In this case I had some pink-red flowers in my stash from the Pretty Poinsettia set. They are the perfect backdrop for my cute bear together with some teal branches from Autumn Garland.

To make these elements stand out more, I added an extra white layer to the red gingham panel by cutting the largest of the Limitless Labels 1, and dry embossing it with the Woodgrain embossing folder. Then it was time to stamp and cut the sweet bear with his mug from Holiday Hugs. All the coloring was done with Copic markers in red, pink, and teal tones. Of course, I added some white snowflakes with a gel pen.

Next, I cut the Brilliant Banner 3 die from white card stock and stamped the combined sentiment (Holiday Express) in a red ink from my stash. After placing the poinsettias and leaves, I mounted the bear and banner with foam tape. A few Crystal Clear Jewels were scattered across the design as a finishing touch.

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Crisp Apple & Punny Apple Greetings Card with Alma

Hello my dears! This is Alma and today I want to show you my card featuring the wonderful Crisp Apple Dies. When I first saw them, I immediately thought of a delicious apple cider or an apple punch. Can you smell the card?

I die-cut the apples and colored them with Copics. Then I transformed the Summer Jar Mug die into a fall-themed glass and colored that as well. The Fresh Lemon Dies were, of course, a must for my recipe, as they added a really tasty note to my autumn drink!

For the card's frame, I used the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Die. I blended the background with Distress Oxides and for the sentiment, I combined the Punny Apple Greeting Stamps with the "hugs" from the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies. 

As a special touch, I glued a real cinnamon stick and a real star anise onto the card so you can all smell it too! Fall is here!

Happy Howl-o-ween Treat Bag with Leanne

Hi everyone! Leanne here today. Halloween will be here before we know it so I've already been shopping for Halloween candy to fill treat bags. We get a lot of trick or treaters in our neighborhood every year. However this Happy Howl-o-ween treat bag idea is for the furry four legged trick or treaters. 

To make these fun canine friendly treat bags you'll need some dog treats, small cellophane bags, the Treat Bag Topper dies, the Happy Howl-o-ween stamps, and the Too Cute to Spook stamps. 

I die cut the base bag topper from black card stock then added the green and purple mats. I picked out some images from the two stamp sets to create simple scenes. I Copic colored the images and will list the colors I used at the end of the post. Before adhering the images I stamped the webs and sentiments with black ink directly onto the mats.

Here are the Copics I used for coloring the images: orange - YR21, YR12, YR1; purple - V22, V25, V99; black spiders - N4, N6; shading on white - C0, C3;  brown on dogs - E40, E41, E43

I filled the cello bags with some bone shaped dog biscuits and sealed them up. I then atached the bag toppers with double sided tape. And these fun treat bags are ready to pass out on Halloween!

Distinctive Door Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh. I am excited to be back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today to share this fun birthday card featuring the Distinctive Door Dies and the Brilliant Banner 4 Dies from the latest release. I had so much fun playing with this Distinctive Door Dies set! It's like custom building a house where you can mix and match designs and colors. The set is so versatile and can be used for so many different occasions: Birthdays, New Home, Welcome Home to name a few. And the door can be decorated for holiday cards: Valentine's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Today, I used it to make a birthday card for these partying pandas. 

I stamped the pandas from the Panda Party Stamp set and the bouquet of balloons from the Floating By Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Panda Party Dies were used to diecut them out. I fussy cut the bouquet of balloons so as to preserve the attached balloon strings. I colored them with Copic markers and accented them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Panda: C00/0/1/3/5/7, R00/20
Pink: RV000/00/02
Red: R22/24/29
Orange: Y17/38 YR04/07
Yellow balloons: Y11/13/15/17 
Yellow lights: Y11
Green: YG01/03/17
Blue: B000/00/02/04
White: T0/1

I diecut the door and the accessories from the Distinctive Door Dies from a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. I also diecut the hardware on the door silver shine cardstock and the lights with black cardstock for a more realistic look. I lightly colored some of the edges of the white elements and lights with Copic markers (T0/1, Y11) for a bit of dimension and realism. The bushes were colored in with the same green as the balloon (YG01/03/17).

For the background, I took a piece of tan colored cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and added a slim strip of gray colored cardstock to the bottom edge for the ground. I assembled the elements of the door and adhered them to the panel with a combination of liquid adhesive and foam tape.

For the sentiment, I diecut the Brilliant Banner 4 Dies out of a red cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamp set and some hearts from the Passionate Penguins Stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto the banners before heat embossing with Fine Detail White Embossing powder. I assembled and attached the banner and attached the banner to the panel with liquid adhesive. Finally, I attached the panel to a white top folding cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and are inspired to create your own front door card. Be sure to check out the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and inspirations. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.
