The Graduate Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I am so excited to share a fun graduation card featuring the new The Graduate set from the new Summer Release! Have you seen all of the amazing products from the new release?! This graduation set couldn’t have come at a better time. Graduation season is just around the corner and I have several graduates to celebrate this year. The Graduate set is a smaller but very versatile set that can be used for both younger and older graduates. So let's get started.

I stamped the images from the The Graduate Stamps and a few cat images from the Cat Antics Stamps and Party Pets Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating The Graduates Dies, Cat Antics Dies and Party Pets Dies to diecut them out. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen. 

COPIC COLORS:
Cats: YR30/20/21/24/27, W1, R000/20, R22, W7
Caps: B21/24/28, Y13/15

Full confession: I had to perform a little surgery on that cat in the center of the card from the Party Pets Stamps set. The original image is a full-body view of the cat with his hand positioned so that he could hold balloons. I thought the hand gesture would be perfect for the appearance of him tossing up his graduation cap. So I used scissors to trim the legs off of the colored image so that he would look more like the other cats who only had their upper bodies showing. But rest assure that no real cats or clear stamps were harmed in the process of making this card. 

For the layout, I used the second largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies to diecut a panel out of white cardstock. I matted this with a slightly larger piece of yellow cardstock. I adhered a piece of craft foam to the back of the panel before adhering it to a piece of patterned paper from the Surprise Party Paper.

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Congrats Grad” sentiment from the The Graduate set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock and used the coordinating die to diecut it out. I love the beautiful font and how bold the sentiment is. I added some highlights with a white gel pen and adhered the sentiment to the panel with foam tape.

I adhered the colored images to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”). I finisshed the card by adhering some stars diecut out of yellow cardstock with the stars die from the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2.

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

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Icing Rectangle Frame Die Focused Card with Yan

Hello everyone! It’s Yan here! I’m so excited to share my new card today, combining the stitched label frame die from Sunny Studio’s Icing Rectangle Frame Dies with the adorable Quill Cuties Stamp Set! Both are part of the Sunny Studio Spring New Release, and they work together so perfectly — I had such a fun time creating this cheerful design! Let’s get started! 

First, I stamped the adorable hedgehogs from the Quill Cuties Stamp Set using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock. Then, I colored them with Copic markers, adding warm tones and playful shading to bring out their cheerful personalities! Once the coloring was done, I used the Quill Cuties Dies to cut them out perfectly — they’re all ready to join the scene! 

COPIC COLOUR:
Hedgehogs: E18, E35, E31, E30, R30
Glasses: Y11, Y15
Mug, Hat & Gift Box: BG23, BG15, B000, R46, R30

Next, I added a soft background to my creamy cardstock using the Dotted Diamond Landscape Die to create a delicate pierced pattern. Then, I used the Stitched Label Frames Dies from the Icing Rectangle Frame Die set to die-cut four frames — two from white cardstock and two from vellum paper. I blended Distress Oxide inks in Salvaged Patina over the white cardstock frames to add a gentle pop of color, and heat embossed heartfelt sentiments from the Inside Greetings Friends Stamp onto the vellum frames. 

Finally, I used the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2 & 5 to die-cut a few hearts and snowflakes to add extra little details. Then, I layered all the elements together using foam tape and glue, arranging the hedgehogs and frames to create a cheerful, dimensional scene full of springtime fun — just as shown in the photo! 

Thank you so much for stopping by — I’m so happy to share a little piece of my crafting joy with you today!

Quill Cuties Card with Yan

Hello crafty friends!! I’m so excited to be here for the first time and to share my crafty world with you! I’m Yan, and today I’m super happy to show you my latest creation featuring - the Sunny Studio Stamps NEW release, especially the adorable Quill Cuties Stamp Set.

First, I stamped these adorable little images with VersaFine Pinecone Pigment Ink on watercolor paper. Then came my favourite part - adding color! I used watercolors to bring them to life with soft shades and happy vibes. After everything was dry, I gave them a nice clean cut using the Quill Cuties Dies - ready for some serious cuteness on my card! 

For the background, I die-cut a lovely rectangle panel using the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies from white cardstock and blended a rainbow of soft shades with Distress Oxides - Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina, Tumbled Glass and Shaded Lilac.

Then, I added a few sweet little hearts cut form the Basic Mini Shape Die 2 & Basic Mini Shape Die 3 - they give such a lovely pop to the card! Finally, I attached all my colored images using foam tape for a bit fun dimension and a playful 3D look.

Thank you so much for joining me to celebrate this New Release! I hope my card brings a smile to your face and a spark of inspiration to your creative day. See you next time for more crafty fun!!

Vintage Valentine Card with Marieke

Hello all, Marieke here. I'm very excited to share today's post because as of this month I will be back joining the Sunny Studio Stamps Design Team! So from now on every week I will share a new project using their fabulous products! 

For my first card I created a Valentine's card using Vintage Valentine Stamps. I cut 1/4 inch strips of white, pink and Kraft cardstock and adhered them onto a white topfold base card. Cut a smaller Kraft rectangle and added some black paint splatters and some brown spots as if coffee was spilled on to it.

Used Copic Colors:
Pink - R85, R83, R81, R21, R00
White - C5, C3, C1, C00, 0
Paper - E53, E51, E50, 0

Stamped one of the My Heart Stamps in a pink ink and die cut it using the matching My Heart Dies. Die cut the envelopes and the letter of the Vintage Valentine Dies and inked them up using Vintage Photo. Stamped a sentiment on the letter and die cut the hearts using the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2. Added a small inside on the left envelope using Subtle Grey Tones Paper.

Die cut the Post Stamp using the dies out of Gift Card Envelope Dies. Stamped the sentiments on top and behind the post stamp. Stamped the typewriter out of the Vintage Valentine Stamps and colored it up using my Copic markers. Stamped the sentiment onto it and die cut it using the matching Vintage Valentine Dies. Finished the card by adding some clear sequins.

Have a wonderful day!

Roly Poly Penguins Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a fun Christmas card featuring these adorable Roly Poly Penguins and the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp sets. 

I used the smallest die from the Scalloped Square 1 Large Dies set to diecut three squares and the smallest die from the Scalloped Square 1 Small Dies set to diecut one square out of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. I masked off the scalloped edges stamped the images from the Roly Poly Penguins Stamp set onto the larger scalloped squares with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T4/5/7, W00/0/1, Y38 YR04, R000/20
Red: R14/24/29/39
White: C00/1/3

For the sentiment, I used the Build-a-Greeting Holidays Stamp set from the latest release to create the "Merry Christmas" sentiment. I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Satin Red ink onto the smaller scalloped square. 

I adhered the scalloped squares onto a piece of light blue cardstock with foam tape. I added some snowflakes diecut from white cardstock using the Woolen Mitten Dies, Basic Mini Shape Dies 2 and the Basic Mini Shape Dies 5. Finally, I adhered the entire panel onto the front of a top folding white card base (4.25" x 5.5").
