Designer's Choice: Foxy Friends Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back with this fun and lovely slimline scene featuring a character you might have recognized: Little Red Riding Hood. I created her using an image from Puddle Jumpers, and gave her some sweet and gentle wolf friends using images from Foxy Friends. Super fun!

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. For Little Red Riding Hood, I simply masked the duck details off the hood, applied the ink to the stamp, removed the washi tape and then stamped the image. I did this two or three times to get a really nice impression, cut all the images using the matching dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers. I went for different shades of green for the trees, neutral warm grays for the wolves, turquoise the birds and of course red for Little Red Riding Hood, as well as the birdhouses for more red accents on the card.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Foxy Friends - wolves, birds • Puddle Jumpers - little red riding hood • Seasonal Trees - trees, birdhouses, log • Bunnyville - grass, butterflies.

Next I cut a slimline panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using a die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set, I divided it in half using washi tape, and colored both parts using oxide inks. I started with the lower section and blended mowed lawn and rustic wilderness oxide inks. I mixed some rustic wilderness oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to the grass border. Next I moved on to the upper part, first covered the entire section with tumbled glass oxide ink, and then used a tree stencil from my stash along with broken china oxide ink to add a forest background to my scene. I splattered water on the upper section and dried the panel with a paper towel, mixed some broken china with water and added more splatters, and then mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over my panel.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and once my panel was dry, I attached them all using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I cut a slightly larger slimline panel out of white cardstock and attached my Little Red Riding Hood scene on top using liquid glue. I cut a scalloped panel out of yellow cardstock using another Slimline Scalloped Frame die, stuck it to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches card base using 1mm foam tape, and then attached my little scene using foam tape again because I like my cards to have dimension.

Finally I used a Brilliant Banner 1 die to cut a banner out of brown cardstock, white heat embossed "Life with you is an adventure" from Critter Campout on that banner, and attached it right above Little Red Riding Hood using foam squares again. 

And that's it! I've had this idea in mind for quite a while so I was very happy to finally create it and I'm glad of how it turned out. Love those little wolves so much! I hope you do too. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Designer's Choice: Foxy Friends Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a fun birthday card with the cuties from the Foxy Friends stamp and die set.

My background was made from a green paper (Gingham Pastels), cut with both dies from Frilly Frames Stripes. This panel was then adhered to a white card base with liquid glue.

For the centerpiece I used two squares created from white card stock and layered on top of each other. To achieve this look, I selected two dies matching in size, one from Scalloped Square 1 Large dies, the other from the Stitched Square dies.

Before adding this combination to the background, I stamped the birthday sentiment (Happy Thoughts) with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I love that the large ‘Happy’ really stands out on the white square!

On to the difficult part, which was selecting two foxes from a whole bunch of cuties! (Foxy Friends stamp). I had already decided to use the big present from Holiday Hugs.
Yes, this is a holiday set, but many images including the adorable bear can be used for lots of occasions! It is really fun using your stash all year round!

For the coloring, I selected Copic markers in green and coral tones. They match the pattern paper background well. I added highlights with a gel pen and two little white pompoms to the party hats for extra fun!

Lastly, I mounted the images to the square panel with foam tape. As a final embellishment, I added a few Iridescent Clear Jewels. And that finishes this sweet birthday card!

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Designer's Choice: Ocean View Card with Amanda

Hey guys! It’s Amanda here with you on the blog today! I hope your week is off to a great start! Today, I’m sharing a card I made for my son’s 9th birthday! We will be in Myrtle Beach on Spring Break, so I made a card of our little family on the beach!

To create this card, I took a piece of white cardstock and trimmed it to A2 size (4.25”x5.5”). I stamped the beach background from the Ocean View Stamps. I stamped it towards the top of the card so I’d have plenty of “beach room”!

Next, I stamped my little family from the Beach Babies and Kiddie Pool stamps. I colored all the images in with Copic markers. I added little white dots and highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen. Then, I die cut everything out with the coordinating die sets.

I colored my beach with Copic markers as well! I added little acrylic white paint dots in the sand, as well as dots with the Copic markers.

The “9” balloon comes from the Balloon Numbers Stamps. I stamped it first with Catherine Pooler Catching Rays ink. Then, with a small blending blush, I lightly applied Orange Twist around the edges of the stamp to give it a 3D look.

I put the balloon a foam mat and then used a needle to poke 2 holes in the balloon and one in the little boy’s hand. I threaded some white thread through the balloon and then wrapped it around the boys hand.

I put foam squares behind all of my images and then (before removing the backing), I placed the images where I wanted them to go. I don’t want to adhere them until I stamp my sentiment.

I put my card front in my MISTI and stamped the “Happy Birthday” from the Party Pets Stamps. Now, I can remove the backing from all the images and adhere them to the card front. The last step is to glue the card panel to a card base! 

He’s going to love this card, don’t you think?! I hope you are inspired to create something today!

Designer's Choice: Chickie Baby Card with Leanne

Hello there! Leanne here today. Can you believe Easter is just a few days away? I thought this was the perfect time to share an Easter card. I have created a cheerful little scene featuring images from the Chickie Baby and Bunnyville stamp sets. 

This card is A2 size. I used the largest die Rounded Rectangle Mat set to create the pink mat which perfectly frames the scene. I used the second largest die in the set for the scene mat and grass layer. The grass die can be found in the Picket Fence die set. 

As I mentioned I used two stamp sets to create the scene.  The chicks and eggs are from the Chickie Baby stamp set. The tulips, butterflies, and greeting are from the Bunnyville stamp set.

I used Copic markers to color the images. chicks(Y11, Y32, Y15, YR12) tulips(YR12, YR18, YG11, YG13) small flowers(RV13, RV14, YG11, YG13) egg colors(RV13, RV14, Y11, Y13, BG11, BG13) butterflies(V22, V25)

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope everyone has a wonderful week and Happy Easter to those who are celebrating!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Marieke Slaats

Hello all, Marieke Slaats here! I'm back with a project that I created as a guest designer for Sunny Studio Stamps. The lovely Mendi asked me to be a guest this month and I could not resist saying yes. So for my first project I created a series of Artist Trading cards.

For my Project, I cut four rectangle panels using the Polka Dot Parade 6x6 Paper. I die-cut a slightly smaller rectangle and inked some different colors of ink onto it. I used the same colors of ink and a stencil to create the confetti. I splattered some water and adhered them together. 

I stamped the images out of the Party Pets Stamp, colored them up using my Copic markers, and cut them using the Party Pets Dies. I adhered the images to the cards and added some Glossy Accents to the balloons. I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiments. I finished the cards by adding some Citrine, Peridot, Aquamarine, and Pink Spinel Jewels.

Used Copic Colors:
Green - YG67, YG63, YG03, YG01
Brown Dog - E57, E55, E53, E51,
Grey Dog - C6, C4, C2, C1 / C5, C3,C1, C00, 0/ R24, R22, R20, R00
Yellow - Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11
Black Cat - N6, N4, N3, N2 / C5, C3,C1, C0
White Cat - C5, C3, C1, C00, 0 / R22, R20, R00

For my second project, I created a shaker card using the adorable Cat Antics Stamp. First, I cut a white rectangle. Using the Window Trio Heart Portrait, I partially cut the top and bottom hearts. I stamped the sentiment using two different colors of pink inks. Then, I used the lightest color again for the hearts out of Wedded Bliss.

I added a strip of acetate behind the white rectangle. I cut a side-fold white base card and adhered the Sleek Stripes Paper onto it. I cut a white rectangle and ink-blended some Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide inks onto it. I filled the shaker and closed it.

I stamped the cats out of Cat Antics and colored them using my Copic markers. I cut them by using the matching Cat Antics Dies and adhered them to the card.

Used Copic Colors:
Black - N6, N4, N3, N2
Pink - R24, R22, R20, R00
White - C5, C3, C1, C00, 0

Have a wonderful day!
