Swimming Pool Die Focused Cards with Catherine and Bobbi

Hi Friends! Its Catherine here, sharing a “Happy Summer” card created with the new Swimming Pool Die and friends from the Kiddie Pool set!

To start, I used paper from Gingham Pastels Paper Pack to die cut the swimming pool from Swimming Pool Die. I went over the grooves of the swimming pool with a white gelly roll to make the tiles more prominent. I die cut the swimming pool railing out of silver card stock. I coloured the pool water with Copic markers and used one of the mini wave dies in the set to tuck the girl inside the water.

I colored the poolside tiles, grass, and hedge with Copic markers and I ink blended the sky with Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Inks.

I thought it would be fun to add a pool volleyball net and I used the wish list die from North Pole Dies to make the net. I used Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink to color the frame and used a black multi-liner to draw the net. I added friends from Kiddie Pool and die cut the friends with the coordinating dies, Kiddie Pool Dies. The beach ball is from Beach Babies. I added some cute critters from Beach Buddies to peek over the hedge and used the put the beach towels in the set next to the pool.

I finished off the card by adding a few butterflies from Bunnyville and a white heat embossed sentiment from Fabulous Flamingoes.

Hi Sunny Studio friends! It’s Bobbi here sharing a few new products from the latest release. I wanted to create a light-hearted pool scene for my card today, featuring the new Swimming Pool Dies. I’m using a unique group of Sunny Studio stamps together to create this summer setting.

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I used 80lb Neenah Solar White cardstock for the card base and all the die cuts. I die cut the pool ledge and steps and colored them using the following Copic Marker colors:

Water: B26, B02, B91, B93, B95
Pool ledge and decking: W4, W3, W1
Greenery/bushes: YG67, YG63, YG03, YG00

To make the patio tile decking around the pool, I made a small point in the center of my card (i.e., the vanishing point) at the top edge and moved my ruler from that stationary point out to the bottom edge of my card.  This is called a one-point perspective. This helps make my scene look a little more realistic and somewhat three-dimensional. The pool die cuts were positioned on the cement tile decking along with the pool steps.

To create the background, I used a blender brush to apply Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink for the sky. I added a natural privacy fence around the pool using the Lovely Lilacs stamps. These taller floral stamps make great bushes/hedges around the back of the pool. I also used one of the Summer Greenery Dies to create two spikey-looking bushes, too. I really love how the greenery turned out. Sometimes you have to look at your supplies just a little differently to achieve the desired result.

For the characters in the scene, I used the Kiddie Pool Stamps and coordinating dies to add the girls in the pool, the friends around the pool, and the left-side beach chair. I wanted another summer deck chair, so I added the right-side one from the Ocean View Stamps set. Lastly, I hand drew a small towel for the boy to sit on. Various Copic colors were used to color in all the elements. Lastly, I stamped the phrase in the lower right corner to finish this card.

Designers Choice Cards with Audrey and Vanessa

Hello friends, Audrey here! Today, I have a card to share with you using one of my favorite Sunny Studio stamp sets, Fabulous Flamingos! I love the images in this set so much.  Flamingos are one of my favorite animals, and although I've had this set for a while, this is the first time I am getting to use it! 

To create this card, I started off by ink blending a tropical sky background directly onto an A2 white card base using Distress ink in Salt Water Taffy and Squeezed Lemonade. I concentrated the yellow in the center, then overlapped the Saltwater Taffy and blended the ink softer as I worked down the panel, eventually fading into white. Then, I stamped and colored several images from the Fabulous Flamingos stamp set with copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating Fabulous Flamingos Dies. 

I arranged my scene, gluing some image down with glue pen and popping some up with foam tape for extra dimension. Underneath the scene, I placed a white banner die cut stamped with a sentiment from the set. To finish off my card, I added some white gel pen accents and a trio of tiny clay hearts.

-------------------------------------------

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a happy card using various stamps and dies.

I first created the colorful sky with a cloud stencil and the Distress Oxide ink colors Kitsch Flamingo, Shaded Lilac, Salvaged Patina and Squeezed Lemonade. You can easily create your own cloud stencil with the Sunny Studio Fluffy Clouds Border Dies. Just die-cut the borders from scrap paper and use this as your stencil. 

This is a list of the products I used today:
Passionate Penguins stamps + dies
Balloon Rides stamps
Beach Babies stamps + dies
Fluffy Clouds Border Dies
Pastel Star Confetti

After I had adhered the panel to my card base, I stamped my images, colored the pieces with Copics, die-cut everything with the matching dies and adhered the elements to the card with foam tape. Now I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of purple cardstock, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, trimmed it and adhered the strip to the card. Finally, I added tiny heart sequins.

I love everything from this release, but these penguins just stole my heart :) Have a lovely weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Passionate Penguins Tags & Card with Marine and Anja

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this trio of wintery valentine tags showcasing the adorable Passionate Penguins stamp set.

As always I started by stamping the images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. Besides the penguins, I also stamped a few trees from Holiday Express and umbrellas from Beach Babies, and I colored everything using my alcohol markers.

I cut three Scalloped Square Tags, and did the same process on each one: I masked the four scalloped edges to keep them white, covered the bottom with a hill stencil, and used spun sugar, worn lipstick and festive berries distress inks to create the sky. I also added a little bit of texture: white splatters to make falling snow, sparkling splatters for frosty accents, and festive berries distress ink mixed water splatters to add some contrast.

To give those tags a nice back, I cut three more tags out of pattern papers from the Rainbow Bright and Very Merry paper packs, I attached a red tag at the back of each white tag, and added ribbon and twine at the top to decorate them.

Next I cut six hearts using a die from the Cupcake Shape die set to decorate the top of each tag. I also cut three banners out of red cardstock using a die from the Stitched Rectangle die set, and white heat embossed a sentiment from Passionate Penguins on each one. And then I attached all the elements on the tags: the banners at the bottom, the hearts on the ribbon, and the images using foam squares and glue dots.

And as always I finished those tags by adding highlights and details on the images, the sky and hearts using a white gel pen. And that's it! I hope that you like those lovely frosty Valentine tags. Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to check the video (click on the image above) if you need more details. See you next week!

Hello everyone, Anja here and today I'm featuring the adorable Passionate Penguins Stamps – they are definitely one of my favorites! I just love their sweet little faces! I created a love themed CAS card in berry pink tones.

I started off with a square card base measuring 4.25" x 4.25". Next, I die cut two of the Stitched Heart 2 Dies from pink cardstocks and layered them on top of each other.

The penguins and tea cup were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. It's so cute how they are sitting inside the cup.

I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Finally, I adhered the images and sentiment strip with foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Enjoy a wonderful day!

Passionate Penguins Cards with Kavya and Isha

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun project to share with you all! I am in love with the new release and as always… IT IS FREAKIN VERSATILE! Here is a summer card using a bunch of my fav stamps :) 

I first started of by stamping and coloring a bunch of images from Passionate Penguins, Beach Buddies and Beach Babies stamp sets. For the land and water, I die cut them our of colored cardstock using the Slimline Nature Border dies. For the sky, I ink blended it using Milled Lavender and Tumbled Glass distress oxides. As always, I splattered some white paint on the land, sky and water to add some drama! 

Then, I created a bunch of scenes using a comic strip die. I used another brand but you can always use Comic Strip Speech Bubbles! Finally, I layered it on top of some purple Flirty Flowers pattern paper. I didn’t add a sentiment on this card but you always add one if you’d like. I have been making a lot of non-sentiment cards lately just so that I can use them for any occasion.. especially if I am using a lot of critters!

That’s it folks! I hope you liked this project. Be sure to check back tomorrow for more inspiration :) Happy Crafting!

Hello everyone, Isha here with you! Today I have this cute card featuring our new Passionate Penguins stamp and coordinating dies. Now the motivation for this card is my younger daughter as we do a lot of chilling together because she is still in school and I totally enjoy it. The images are so adorable in this set that I wanted to use as many as possible. The Comic Strip Everyday die is perfect, I felt.

To start, I stamped all the images onto alcohol friendly cardstock from the Passionate Penguins stamp set, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

I then die-cut a white cardstock using Comic Strip Everyday die. Adhere the frame to a white cardbase. Sponge the sky onto the inside parts of the die-cut pieces, using pink distress ink. Die-cut the grass from the Picket Fence dies, sponge salvaged patina distress ink and adhere to the pieces. Adhere these pieces to the card. Add all the die-cut images to the card using 3D foam. Stamp the sentiment. Add white dots to the umbrella for added interest. 

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!
