Crisp Autumn & Pretty Pumpkins Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fall cards featuring the Crisp Autumn Stamps.

Sunny Studio Fall Cards using Sunflower Fields, Crisp Autumn & Pretty Pumpkins Stamps, Dies & Dapper Diamond Embossing Folder

For my first card showcasing the Crisp Autumn Stamps, I paired the layered fall leaves and the "Happy Autumn" sentiment from the set with the large sunflower and green leaves from the Sunflower Fields Stamps. I then layered them with a couple of loopy circle die-cuts cut from brown cardstock using the Snowflake Circle Frame Dies to form my grapevine twine wreath.

Here's a closer look at how I inked only the recessed portions of my embossed background. I used a spongy foam ink brayer with VersaFine Clair Cheerful Ink to apply ink to only the raised diamond side portion of my embossing folder. I then laid a clean white A2-sized cardstock panel on the dry side of my embossing folder, positioned just where I wanted it, and carefully closed the lid onto my sheet of paper before rolling the sandwich through my die-cutting machine. It's important to note that this technique only works with pigment inks, which are sticky enough to adhere to the slick plastic surface of the embossing folder. Sadly, dye inks will only bead up on the surface.

As a finishing touch, I applied our Champagne Clear Jewels with Multi Medium Matte liquid adhesive to the center of my sunflower to add sparkle and make it the true focal point of my card. It was difficult for me to capture in the photo, but the clear rhinestones really catch the light in person and helped add that tiny bit of bling I was looking for. I also love that their clear nature allows the stamped image from below to peek through, making these the perfect match with whatever you use them with.

For my second card of the day, I started by creating an oversized picket fence using the pencil die from our Color My World Dies, cut from woodgrain textured cardstock. This cardstock is naturally a kraft brown color, but I decided it would be fun to create a whitewashed look to brighten up my fence and emphasize the incredible texture of the paper. I achieved this just by dipping my finger into Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment Ink and rubbing it along the surface of each die-cut fence piece before hitting them with a heat gun to speed up the drying process. 

I then used a Tim Holtz clear ruler to line them up on my card front and help keep them evenly spaced. I started by adhering the two slats on the outside edges. I then added the one in the very center of my card. From there, I found the center between the two posts on each side, leaving me with only two posts to fill in between each of those, which I eyeballed. I then added a grass border using the grassy border die from the Picket Fence Dies, adding flicks of "grass" with my Copic Marker pen. I created an arrangement of pumpkins in front of my fence using the images from the Pretty Pumpkins Stamps and Crisp Autumn Stamps. Finally, I stamped my thank you sentiment from the Words of Gratitude Stamps onto a stitched label from the Sliding Window Dies.

I am frequently asked which ink colors I used for my layered images. While I think there are so many great options out there, these are the colors I used today from light to dark:


Sunflower Leaves 



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. 💛

Too Cute To Spook Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a clean and simple Halloween card featuring the adorable Too Cute to Spook set. This set was so appropriately named ... these critters are just way too cute to spook! I kept the card design super clean and simple to give all of the attention to these adorable trick or treaters.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Too Cute To Spook Halloween Card by Hanh Nguyen (featuring Stitched Rectangle Dies)

I stamped the images from the Too Cute to Spook Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Too Cute to Spook Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Bears: E50/51/53/33/35, R00/20, E35
Cat/Bunny: E50/51/53/33, R00/20, E35
Bat: T1/3/5/7, R20
Purple: V01/04/06
Black: T3/5/7
Gold: Y06
Red: R22/05/29
White: C00/0/1/3
Blue: B21/24/26
Pumpkins: Y17/38 YR04, T5

For the background, I took another piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock and stamped the house and tree images from the stamp set with Shaded Lilac DIstress Oxide ink to create a subtle scene. The Happy Halloween sentiment from the set was stamped onto the bottom of the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I used the largest die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies to die cut the panel. I adhered it to a piece of purple cardstock (4" x 5.25") before adhering it to a piece of black cardstock (4.25" x 5.5"). The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5"). Finally, the colored images were adhered with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. 

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

Have a wonderful and crafty day!
