Buffalo Plaid Die Focused Cards with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this trio of colorful Thank You cards showcasing the Buffalo Plaid Straight die and Buffalo Plaid Diagonal die. I used the cute turkeys from Turkey Day only one time last year, so I thought it would be nice to bring them back during this year's autumn season. And as you may already know, I looove to stamp and color images on kraft cardstock, especially on fall cards, so these cards were another occasion for me to have some fun, and I hope these will inspire you to try to do some coloring on kraft, if you haven't already.

And speaking of which, I started off by stamping my images on kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers using a red, orange, yellow, green and brown color palette.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Turkey Day - turkeys, pumpkins, cup, leaves, slice of pie • Beautiful Autumn - oak leaf, acorn • Fall Friends - acorn • Happy Harvest - sunflowers.

Next I cut three panels out of kraft cardstock using the Mini Mat & Tag 4 die, and I stenciled them using the Diagonal & Straight Stripes stencils along with a different color palette for each panel. On the first panel, I used vintage photo, fossilized amber and peeled paint oxide inks. On the second panel, I used fossilized amber, rusty hinge and lumberjack plaid oxide inks. And on the third panel, I used vintage photo, lumberjack plaid and rusty hinge oxide inks. I mixed some ground espresso oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters on my panels, and I did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I cut three 4,5 x 3,25 inches Stitched Rectangles out of dark brown cardstock, and attached a panel on each dark brown panel using 1mm foam squares, and then each panel on a 5 x 3,75 inches Gingham Jewel Tones panel using liquid glue.

I attached my images on each panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, tied some twine at the bottom of each panel, right below the images, and then worked on the greetings. I stamped three different sentiments from Words Of Gratitude on brown cardstock using black versafine ink, and trimmed them into slim banners. Next I white heat embossed "Thanks" from Big Bold Greetings three times on dark brown cardstock, cut them using the matching die, and then attached all those pieces of my cards using 1mm and 2mm foam squares again.

And that's it! I hope that you like this lovely set of cards. Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Big Panda Cards with Hanh Nguyen

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh. I am thrilled to be back to Guest Design for Sunny Studio Stamps. Today I am sharing a couple of fun birthday cards that I made with the adorable Big Panda set. I love this series of larger sized critters! They are so versatile and can be used individually as well as paired up with critters from other previously released sets.

Happy Birthday!  For my first card, I paired this super cute panda with the Gift Card Envelope set to create a complete birthday theme with card, present and all. 

I stamped the panda from the Big Panda stamp set and the present from the Holiday Hugs Stamp set onto some Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Big Panda Dies and Holiday Hugs Dies to die cut them out. I love that these bears have a special die that allows you to die cut the arms to allow the her to hold a present. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Panda: C00/0/1/3/5/7, R00/20
Present: RV10/21, C1, RV02/04/06/09

I used the Gift Card Envelope to die cut the envelope and a few flowers out of white, pink and teal cardstock. I assembled the envelope with liquid adhesive.The smaller die from the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies was used to die cut a little notecard to slip into the envelope. This was intended to be a frame die but I attached all of the parts onto a slightly smaller piece of paper in order to keep all of the parts together. I trimmed the bottom so that the notecard was just short enough to fit into the envelope. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Big Bold Greetings Stamp set with a pink ink and die cut it out with the coordinating Big Bold Greetings Dies before adhering it onto the top of the notecard. 

The outer die of the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace Die was used to die cut a white panel. I adhered the envelope and bear and decorated the panel with some of the die cut flowers. Finally, I adhered the panel onto a piece of teal cardstock before adhering it to a white cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").

Happy Birthday From All of Us! For my second card, I created a Polaroid-style selfie photo card featuring the adorable Big Panda and some of his bear friends from the Holiday Hugs and Panda Party Stamp. I thought that this would be a fun way to create a card from the whole family.

I stamped and colored the bears and accessories from the Big Panda Stamp, the Holiday Hugs Stamp and the Panda Party Stamp sets in the same manner as I did for the first card. The coordinating Big Panda Dies, Holiday Hugs Dies, and Panda Party Dies were used to die cut them out. 

COPIC COLORS:
Brown Bear 1: E50/51/53/33/35, W5/7, R00/20
Pandas: C00/0/1/3/5/7, R00/20
Brown Bear 2: E50/51/53/33, E25/27/29, R00/20
Red: R22/24/29
Blue: B000/00/02/04

For the Polaroid-style frame, I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and used the third largest die from the Stitched Square Dies set to cut out the square opening. I pieced together the sentiment using the words from the Panda Party Stamp, Everyday Greetings Stamps and Inside Greetings - Holiday Stamps. The sentiment was stamped onto the frame with Versafine Onyx Black and Versafine Satin Red inks.

For the background, I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and lightly ink blended with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. I added a few dots with a Copic marker (B00) and a white gel pen to resemble confetti. I used the Polaroid frame to layout the colored images. Once I achieved the layout that I wanted, I adhered the colored images to the inked panel and trimmed off any of the excess parts hanging off the edges. I adhered the Polaroid frame to the front of the card before adhering the entire panel to a white cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").

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

Designer's Choice: Summer Greenery Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, it’s Tina and today we are using a custom-made frame as the base for our fun design.

As in most of my cards, I made a white card base and then worked on my background panel. This time, I used the outer die from Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace which has a lovely delicate scalloped edge. To give more interest to this piece, I used a striped stencil from my stash and Distress Oxide Speckled Egg. I love this nice, muted color! Next, I glued this striped panel to the card base.

I used the same Oxide shade for my tropical leaves (Summer Greenery) as well as Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers. These three colors work very well together in creating a tropical vibe!

My focal frame was cut from white card stock using the two largest dies from Limitless Labels 1.  I mounted this frame with narrow foam tape to the striped panel. It helps to remove the backing from the foam first so you can bend it easily to follow the curved shape. I selected two cuties from the Tropical Birds set and colored them with my Copics in vibrant  colors that would contrast with my background elements.

My sentiment was selected from the Big Bold Greetings set and stamped in a pink ink from my stash. Then, I could start building the scene, starting with the tropical leaves in different shades of blue and green. I layered them in opposite corners on the label frame. Next, I put the sweet birds in place and ended with adhering the large sentiment. It filled up the remaining space in the frame nicely! To match the pink birds, I added a few pink Pastel Jewels to the leaves.

I had a lot of fun creating this sweet card and I hope to see your creations soon! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Strawberry Patch Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here today with a sweet birthday card featuring the Strawberry Patch dies. These dies are so detailed and look delicious once we add color to the die-cuts.

I started by sponging a white layer using salty ocean and peacock feathers distress inks. I then die-cut the Strawberry Patch die, using white card. Sponge distress ink (antique linen, abandoned coral, candied apple, aged mahogany, twisted citron, peeled paint) to add color to the die-cuts.

Stamp the sentiment from the Big Bold Greetings, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere the sentiment using foam tape. Create the clusters and adhere die-cuts to the card using liquid adhesive and foam tape. Adhere the panel to a white card base. To finish, I added yellow nuvo drops to the center of the flowers.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!
