Tiki Time Card with Amanda

Hey there, fellow cardmaking enthusiasts! Amanda here with you. Are you loving summer as much as I am?! It is THE BEST! I have made so many summer scene cards and I love it!! Today, I am sharing another one with you! This card features some really cute kitties on the beach enjoying some drinks! Keep reading to see how I created this card!

First, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4.25”x5.5”. I stamped the beach background from the Ocean View Stamps with black ink. From the Tiki Time Stamps, I stamped my “Aloha” sentiment in my horizon.

Next, I stamped the kitties from the Cat Antics Stamps. I also stamped the tiki torches, tiki bar, and drinks from the Tiki Time Stamps.  

I colored the background and my images in with Copic markers. I added some white highlights and dots using a white Gelly Roll pen. Then, I die cut the images out with their coordinating die sets. 

I put foam squares behind all of the images to prop them up and then adhered them to the card front. I then, glued my panel to an A2 card base.  

This scene just makes me want to go to the beach! Those kitties are just having too much fun! I hope you continue to enjoy your summer and also find some time to get crafty!

Truckloads of Love Fourth of July Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi. I am sharing some fun Fourth of July cards using the pick-up trucks from our Truckloads of Love Stamps and Dies. These cards illustrate two different takes on the same design concept.

First I have a Fourth of July card using the pick-up truck, flag, bunting, apples, husky dog, and trailing stars from the Truckloads of Love Stamps. I added the neighborhood behind them using the trees, mailboxes, and houses from our Happy Home Stamps. I wanted to keep the focus fully on my pick-up truck, so I colored the scene behind it using only E41, E42, and E43 Copic marker colors. I finished my card with a simple stamped "Happy Fourth of July" greeting from our Happy Thoughts Stamps.

Next is another patriotic parade card using the Truckloads of Love Stamps with the dog from our Balloon Rides Stamps. To set the scene from my little hometown parade, I stamped a row of buildings from our City Streets Stamps, stamping them in tan ink onto kraft Paper for a subtle tone-on-tone look. For my greeting, I heat embossed my "Happy Fourth of July" sentiment from our Happy Thoughts Stamps onto a piece of blue grid paper from our Classic Gingham Paper pack and then die-cut it using the pennant from our Notebook Photo Corners Dies. I added stitching to the bottom of my card panel using the Slimline Basic Border Dies and layered it over a strip of blue star print paper from our Surprise Party Paper pack.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love and that you have a very happy upcoming Fourth of July holiday with friends and family. 💕

Fintastic Friends Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun "just because" card featuring the super cute Fintastic Friends set. This set is filled with so many adorable underwater images and punny sentiments.

I stamped the images from the Fintastic Friends stamps and Ocean View Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Fintastic Friends Dies and Ocean View Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Fish: Y11/13/15, B00/02
Shark: B93/95/97/99, B0000, R20/22
Starfish: Y13/15
Octopus: RV10/21/13/14
Seahorse: V000/01/04/09
Stingray: C00/0/1/3/5/7
Pufferfish: YR02/0407
Rocks: C1/3
Kelp/Corals: YG21/23/25, Y23, RV10/13, V01/04, YR02/04

For the background, I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and diecut three windows into it using the second and third smallest dies from the Stitched Circle Large Dies and the third smallest die from the Stitched Circle Small Dies. I stamped some bubbles from the Fintastic Friends Stamp set directly onto the panel with Stormy Sky Distress Oxide ink. I adhered the panel to a piece of patterned paper (trimmed to 4.25" x 5.5") from the Summer Splash Paper pack.

For the sentiment, I stamped the "You're Fintastic" from the Fintastic Friends stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used a paper trimmer to cut it out. 

I adhered the sentiment and colored images to the front of the card with foam tape for additional dimension and interest. The card front was adhered to an A2 white card base (4.25" x 5.5"). 

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and it inspires you to make and send out some happy snail mail. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.
