Tiki Time Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm so happy to be back on the blog! Since summer is officially here, I thought it would be nice to take you to the beach, drink some refreshing cocktails and have fun in the ocean. As very often, the scene I had in mind was extra busy with many images, so I went for a slimline design to create my card.

I started off by stamping all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

As always, here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Tiki Time - bar, torches, cocktails, leaves, toucans • Seasonal Trees - palm tree, coconuts • Tropical Birds - flowers • Paris Afternoon - table & parasol, chairs • Beach Bus - surfboard • Ocean View - seashell • Beach Babies - two characters, balloon • Kiddie Pool - four characters, droplets • Beach Buddies - sunglasses, snorkeling mask.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, set them aside for later, and cut a 3 x 8 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I masked the stitched edges off with washi tape, divided it in three sections using washi tape again, and used oxide inks to create my beach landscape:

• in the upper section, I created a cloudy sky using a stencil from my stash along with tumbled glass and broken china. I mixed some broken china oxide ink with water, and used a slim brush to add splatters to my sky,

• on the middle section, I blended antique linen and vintage photo to create sand, and added brown splatters using vintage photo oxide ink,

• on the lower section, I did the ocean using broken china and uncharted mariner, and added dark blue splatters using uncharted mariner oxide ink.

Next I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over the panel. And to give the illusion of sea foam between the sand section and the ocean section, I applied white ink on that area using a sponge dauber, and added even more ink using the rounded end of a brush.

When my panel was dry, I white embossed "Happy summer" from Beach Babies at the very bottom, and then I attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

Next I cut a scalloped panel out of aqua cardstock using a Slimline Scalloped Frame die, attached it to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches white card base using 1mm foam tape, and finally stuck my beach scene panel using foam tape again.

And that's it! Now put your swimsuit on, grab your sunscreen and sunglasses, and let's go have some fun at the beach! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Kiddie Pool Card with Amanda

Hey crafty friends and welcome back to the Sunny Studio Stamps Blog! It’s Amanda here and today I’m sharing how I made this summer card!

This card was made using a masking technique. I started by stamping the images in the foreground first, applying masks to the stamped images, and then worked my way to the background images.  

All the images come from the Kiddie Pool Stamps, Tiki Time Stamps, Beach Buddies Stamps, and the Beach Babies Stamps.

To do this, I first stamped the tiki torch, the little girl to the left, the bunny and the dog. Then, I created masks of each of these images by stamping the image onto Heffy Memo Tape and using scissors to fussy cut them out. I placed the masks on top of each image so that I could stamp the next set of images.

Next, I stamped the little bag and masked it off. Then, I stamped the pool and masked it off.  Next up came the other 2 little girls. Then, I stamped the Tiki Bar. Finally, I stamped the little boy. Before removing the masks, I ink blended the sky with Catherine Pooler's Oh Boy! Ink and a blending brush. I also colored in the grass with Copic markers while the masks were still on.

Once that was complete, I removed all the masks and began coloring with Copic markers. I added some white Gelly Roll pen highlights and dots in a few places. I stamped my sentiment last. To finish the card off, I glued it to an A2 card base.

One layer cards can be so fun to make! I hope you enjoyed this post and come back tomorrow for more inspiration!!

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!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Kavya

Hi, it's Kavya here with you today! I've created two cards using a variety of products from the latest release, combined with some of my favorite items from my stash. I love Sunny Studio Stamps because their thoughtfully designed stamps make it easy to mix and match with older releases, adding great versatility. This release did not disappoint!

My first card uses the new Summer Jar Mug and Juicy Watermelon dies. I started off by using some green striped paper from Striped Silly paper pack. I ink blended the center with some coordinating dye ink to make it darker and create a focal point. Then, I diecut the jars and watermelon out of cardstock. To make them look realistic, I added a bunch of details using white gel pen and copic markers. 

To continue with the tropical theme, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Tropical Paradise stamp set. I finished off the card with sentiments from Sweet Word die and Beach Bus stamp set.

My next card reminds me of a fun beach vacation I took a few weeks ago! I started off by ink blending my scene using orange and yellow dye inks. For the sand, I used some tan cardstock. I ink blended the cardstock with coordinating dye ink to add some dimension. For the beach, I used Ocean View stamp set. 

Then I colored a bunch of images from Beach Bus and Beach Babies stamp sets. Adhered all the elements on my background and finished off my card with a sentiment from Beach Bus! 

That's it folks! I hope these projects inspire you :) Happy crafting!
