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!
