Balloon Alpahbet Focused Card with Amanda

Hello crafty friends, Amanda here. Welcome back to the Sunny Studio Stamps Blog! I made one FOXY card to share with you today!

Let’s start with how I created the layers!  I’ve used an A2 white card base (5.5”x8.5” scored at 4.25”). The next layer is a sheet of the Gingham Pastels Paper trimmed to 4.25”x5.5”. The brown cardstock is just a scrap I had laying around that I trimmed to 2” x 4.25”. Then, I took a scrap piece of pink paper and trimmed it to 1.25” x 4.25”. The polka dots come from the new Background Basics 2 Stamps, which I stamped with Catherine Pooler Clay Mask Ink.

The white rounded rectangle layer was created using the 3rd largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies. On this panel, I ink blended Catherine Pooler’s Clay Mask in the center and splattered some pink and white paint on it. I propped this layer up using foam tape.

Next, let’s move onto the adorable foxes and balloons! The foxes, birds, accessories and sentiment are stamped from the Foxy Friends Stamps and colored with Copic markers. Here are the Copic markers I used to color them in!

Foxes: Orange Areas:  YR000, YR20, YR21, YR24, YR27
Light Areas: E50, E30, E31 Nose: W8
All pink areas: R000, 20, R22, R43
Birds: E30, E31, E33, E35

I cut out all stamped images (except the sentiment) using the Foxy Friends Dies. For the sentiment, I trimmed it with a paper trimmer and then used scissors to create the banner edges. I put 3D foam squares behind all my images in preparation for assembling the card.

For the balloons, I used the new Balloon Alphabet Stamps. I stamped them with Catherine Pooler Cotton Candy Ink and then used a tiny blending brush to ink them again with Clay Mask - only on the outer edges of each balloon. I cut them out using the Balloon Alphabet Dies.

I placed all the balloons on a foam pad and used a needle to poke 2 holes around the bottom of each one. Then, I stitched some white thread through each balloon and wrapped it around my middle fox’s hand. I placed foam squares behind each balloon and placed them on the card. Then, I placed all of my other images on the card. I trimmed the excess thread from each balloon and my fox’s hand.

What a fun card to make! I love those Balloon Alphabet Stamps, don’t you?! There’s also Balloon Numbers available! Thanks so much for coming by the blog today and I’ll see you back here soon!

Background Basics 2 Card with Nicky

Hello! This is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studios blog and I have a sweet little Valentine's card to share with you, featuring Background Basics 2, so please read on for all the details and relevant links.

I took an A2 panel of white cardstock and used the Background Basics 2 stamp to stamp the design with a minty coloured ink. I die cut the panel using the Stitched Rectangle Die then glued it to a slightly larger panel of minty coloured cardstock  and then cut an opening through both layers using the Rounded Rectangle Mat Die. I backed the patterned frame with dimensional foam tape and applied it to a white panel of cardstock where I had ink blended the sky and used Copic markers in various shades of green to light blue to make some tufted grass to ground my characters. I applied this to an A2 white card base and set it to one side.

I stamped the Foxy Friends images and coloured them with the following Copic markers:
Foxes - E99, E13, E11, C3, C1, C0
Blush Pink (Cheeks and Umbrella) - R22, R21, R20, R00
White - C3, C1, C0

Images were die cut with the coordinating dies and applied to the background with foam tape and I included 3 little die cut hearts from the coordinating die.

To complete my card I made a polka dot design on the umbrella and highlighted other points and I also die cut the Brilliant Banner 4 Die from white cardstock, I shaded the different parts with some ink blending and glued them together and then I stamped the sentiment in black ink.

Card complete! Have some fun crafting your own Valentine cards and I'll see you back here next Friday with something new.

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here with an adorable Valentine themed card! I am using the versatile Window Trio Hearts Portrait die and I love how easy it creates a fun design!

As usual, I started with a white card base and went on to stamp a pink grid pattern on a white panel (Background Basics 2). From this panel I created three heart shapes using the Window Trio Hearts Portrait die. To match these hearts I selected a pretty pink heart paper (Flirty Flowers), cut it to an A2 size and off set the Window Trio Hearts Portrait die to the left side. I kept the three pattern paper hearts for another project and mounted the panel to the card base.

Next, I simply inlayed the pink grid hearts with some liquid glue. For extra interest, I also added a white scalloped border (Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies).

After selecting three adorable cuties from Bighearted Bears, I colored them with grey, pink and teal copics. The perfect combination for a love themed card! Each bear was placed inside a heart shape with foam tape.

My combined sentiment was taken from the same set and stamped onto small white strips with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I stacked the strips on top of each other in the bottom right corner.

Then I pulled one of my favorite dies, Bursting Hearts, and created a bunch of white hearts in one pass of my die cut machine! I love alle the different sizes you get as well! I scattered the cute hearts all over the design.

I can’t wait to see your projects with these products! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Background Basics 2 Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this trio of Valentine cards showcasing a mix and match of items from different releases: the Background Basics 2 stamp set from the brand new Spring 2025 release, and three previously released big critters that I like to use all year long for any kind of theme.

I started off by cutting three Strathmore bristol smooth panels using the largest Scalloped Square 1 Small die, I masked the edges off on each panel using washi tape, and created three identical backgrounds in three different color palettes. For the pink panel, I covered the panel with spun sugar oxide ink first, and then stamped the Background Basics 2 chicken wire pattern using kitsch flamingo oxide ink. For the purple panel, I covered the panel with shaded lilac oxide ink first, and stamped the pattern using wilted violet oxide ink. 

And for the aqua panel, I covered the panel with salvaged patina oxide ink first, and stamped the pattern using peacock feathers oxide ink. Next I mixed white ink with water, and splattered that mix on the three panels, and then sprayed matching distress spritz on each panel to add shine and sparkles. Removed all the washi tape and set my panels aside to dry.

I stamped all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in shades of gray for the characters, and in one of my all time favorite color palettes for the other images: aqua, pink and purple. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Big Bunny - bunny, tulips, envelopes, bows • Big Panda - panda • Holiday Hugs - bear, heart pillow, gift • Special Day - hearts • Balloon Rides - banners.

I cut three 4,75 x 4,75 inches panels out of Polka Dot Parade papers, attached them to a card base, and then stuck each scalloped panel to its matching card base using 1mm foam tape. I attached the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, applied a bit of white blizzard nuvo drops on each heart for more sparkles, and then cut three Brilliant Banners 1 for my white heat embossed "Happy Valentine's Day" greetings from Bighearted Bears.

And that's it! I hope you like this lovely trio of Valentine cards. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
