Treat Bag Topper Die Focused Card with Tammy

Hello friends! Tammy here with another fun Sunny Studio project! One of my favorite things to make are favors, or little gifts. Before I became a card maker, I got started in paper crafting making handmade party favors for my daughter's birthday, so it's always fun to get back to my "roots"! I had so much fun making these Valentine themed treat bags for my girls' using the new Treat Bag Topper Dies.

To begin, I stamped the images from Bighearted Bears, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Bighearted Bears Dies. Next, using the Treat Bag Topper Dies, I cut toppers from red and pink cardstock. I die cut the included stitched rectangle mat using Bristol smooth cardstock, then ink blended the mats with Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks.

I stamped the mats with the sentiments from Bighearted Bears in black ink, highlighting the 'beary' in red ink, then attached them to the treat bag toppers. I adhered the stamped images with foam tape then added some stamped red hearts.

I die cut white tags from the Window Quad Square Dies, stamped Happy Valentine's Day (also from Bighearted Bears) and red hearts, then tied them to the treat toppers with red and white bakers twine. Lastly, I attached the toppers to little clear bags filled with Valentine Hershey kisses. These are such fun little gifts; I will definitely be reaching for the Treat Bag Topper Die often for upcoming occasions!

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you next time!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Bighearted Bears Cards with Ashlee Bellinger

Hey, Sunny Studio friends it's Ashlee and I'm super excited to be back again with another guest post here at Sunny Studio Stamps. I'm also excited because I got to create with some of the brand new release that's available celebrating Spring and Valentine's.

Here are the products I used for my first card :

- Bighearted Bears Stamps / Bighearted Bears Dies

- Dotted Diamond Portrait die

- My Heart Stamps / My Heart Dies

To create this card I started with a dark pink card stock base. I then got a light pink card and added a touch of ink blending to it with Catherine Pooler ink before splattering it with water giving it a mottled effect. Once that was dry I die-cut it using the Dotted Diamond Portrait die before adhering it to the card base. 

Now it was time to add all the super cute elements to create a Valentine-themed card. 

Using the My Heart Stamps I selected one of the sentiments and heat embossed it on black card stock using WOW! Opaque bright white embossing powder before die cutting it with the coordinating My Heart Dies and adhering in place with liquid glue.

I stamped, coloured and die-cut a bunch of the Bighearted Bears images. These were all coloured using Spectrum noir tri-blend markers with added white pen highlights. Using foam tape I added varying depths of the tape to the back of all the images so I could adhere them in place and create dimension on the card with the sweet little scene! To complete the card I added a touch of pretty sequins.

Onto my second card. For this one, I used these products :

- Bighearted Bears stamp / Bighearted Bears Dies

- Dotted Diamond Portrait Die

- My Heart Stamps / My Heart Dies

- Gift Card Envelope Die

To create this one I started with a light grey card stock base, added some Catherine Pooler grey ink and then splattered with water creating the same effect for the card base as I did for my first card. Die cut also using the dotted diamond die. 

The new Gift Card Envelope Die is too cute, I couldn't resist using that to add a sweet little envelope to the centre of my card. I die-cut it from light pink card stock before folding and adhering it into place. I also wanted it to look like it had a little letter inside so I cut a piece of white card to add inside it.

I stamped, coloured and die-cut three of the Bighearted Bears before adhering them in place with foam tape on the little card. All coloured using Spectrum noir tri-blend markers with added white pen highlights!

This sentiment was also heat embossed using WOW! Opaque bright white powder on black cardstock before die-cutting with the coordinating die and adhering to the envelope with foam tape for more dimension. I love using foam tape on my cards just to make the scene pop up off the card.

And of course, to finish it all off a touch of sequins, I just can't go without adding some!

That's all for my cards today, I really hope you enjoyed them and thank you for having me as a guest here with you all at Sunny Studio Stamps. Big crafty hugs!

Bighearted Bears Gift Tags with Nicky

Hello everyone, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny blog and I'm sharing some very cute Valentine's themed gift tags with you. These tags feature the Bighearted Bears stamp set and would work well tied to a package of candy or a Valentine's gift. I have done two styles of gift tags so keep reading to see the second style.

For this first trio of tags, I die cut both bright pink and white cardstock using the Scalloped Tags Circle Dies and the mini sentiment tags come from the Wrap Around Box Die.

I masked and ink blended each white die cut and splashed to distress the background. I stamped in some little hearts. I then die cut trees, hearts and clouds using the Comic Strip Everyday Die and adhered these in position. I assembled the mini tags and stamped the sentiment from the words included in Bighearted Bears at a fun angle. I assembled the tags, glueing the different parts together.

I stamped the bears and accessory images from Bighearted Bears in black ink and coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:

Bears - T5, T4, T3, C3, C1, C00, RV10 (blush)
Pink - V06, RV17, RV06
Envelopes - C1, C0, B000
Clouds - C1, C0, B000

I highlighted with a white gel pen and die cut using the coordinating dies and applied everything either directly with glue or popped up on dimensional foam tape. To finish this group of tags I backed the white tags with dimensional foam tape and applied the bright pink die cuts to the back to make the tags heavier and more interesting, then I passed pink and white baker's twine through the tag and cinched the twine together with a cheerful pink ribbon bow.

Not satisfied yet, I decided to make a shaker tag version. I cut three of the scalloped tags for this shaker version and I also cut a sheet of acetate so that I could create a shaker window which I filled with glitter and a variety of sequins and hearts.

For this tag I used the coordinating mini scalloped die from the Scalloped Tags Circle Dies for my sentiment and my colouring of the bears etc is exactly the same as for the tags above except that my pink combination here is RV17, RV55 and RV23.  

I hope you feel inspired to create your own little tags for your Valentine's gifts and I wish you a wonderful day!

Bighearted Bears Card with Rachel

Hello friends! It's Rachel here with a love-themed shaker card featuring the new and adorable Bighearted Bears Stamp Set. I absolutely LOVE this stamp set! It can be used for more than just Valentine's Day and it also coordinates perfectly with the previously released Panda Party Stamp Set. 

I first stamped my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I also stamped a fun little banner from the Panda Party Stamp Set. I used Copic markers to color my images and the coordinating Bighearted Bears and Panda Party die sets to cut them out.

Copic Colors Used:

• Pandas: W00, W1, W3, W5, W7
• Cheeks: R32
• Pinks: RV02, RV04, RV17
• Reds: R14, R46, R59, R89

Next, I trimmed a piece of smooth white card stock to 4" x 5.25" and blended it with some Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Inks. Once I finished blending, I then added some spatters of diluted Copic Opaque White Paint as well as some pink dots from some Copic Markers (RV02, RV04). I used some doubled sided tape to attach this piece to my top-folding A2 sized card base (4.25" x 5.5") and then die cut my scalloped frame 6x's using the largest die from the Fancy Frames Rectangles Die Set. I used liquid adhesive to glue five of the frames together and then adhered them to my card base over top of the ink-blended panel. I then stamped my sentiment from the My Heart Stamp Set with some Pinkfresh Candy Apple Ink, cut it out with the coordinating My Heart Die Set and then added it to the center of my card base.

Next, I poured some Red & Pink Clay Heart Confetti and Majestic Mini Sequins onto the center of my card. After spreading the embellishments out with my finger, I then glued a 4" x 5.25" piece of clear acetate to the top of my rectangular scalloped frame. To finish off the shaker portion of my card, I then glued one more layer of my frame on top of the acetate for a clean look. Lastly, I added my images with some 3D foam adhesive tape for a pop of dimension.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by! For more inspiration, feel free to check out my INSTAGRAM feed. Wishing you all a lovely day!

Bighearted Bears Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am excited to show you a card featuring the adorable Bighearted Bears stamp and die set. There are so many cute pandas that it was hard to select only three for my project!

After creating a white card base, I grabbed a teal heart covered paper from Flirty Flowers and cut it with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Chevron set. This die has a ‘postage look’ that matches perfectly with the ‘sending a love letter’ theme of this card!

I always enjoy creating little scenes in all kinds of shapes and today I chose a square made from white card stock. For the bottom part of my background I stamped the brick border from the Sprawling Surfaces. This is another super versatile set that will come in handy for loads of projects!  For a more subtle effect, I went with Distress Oxide Lost Shadow and some light grey Copic marker. The pink clouds were stenciled with Distress Oxide Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick.

Next, I stamped and die cut the three bears and mailbox from the Bighearted Bears stamp set. All the coloring was done in red, teal, and grey tones with Copic Markers, and I added some details with a white gel pen.

The bold ‘Love’ sentiment was made from red card stock using the Chloe Alphabet dies which are one of my favorites! I used three layers for dimension. Lastly, I stamped a combined phrase from the Bighearted Bears stamp onto a small white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

To obtain the perfect spacing, I laid down all the card elements and moved them around until I was happy with the layout. A few Crystal Clear Jewels were added as a sparkly finishing touch.

I hope you will enjoy this adorable bear set as much as I do! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Gift Card Envelope Die Focused Card with Nicky

Hi everyone this is Nicky back with you today and I have a new project for Sunny Studio Stamps and I created this sweet Valentine card using the Gift Card Envelope die.  

I started by creating a white A2 panel of cardstock. Over this I layered a slightly smaller panel of pearlescent pink vellum and over the top of that I layered a panel of the Subtle Grey Tones patterned cardstock that was die cut to size using the Stitched Rectangle Die. I backed this panel with some white craft foam and adhered. This whole background panel was adhered to the card base.

I used more of the same vellum to die cut and assemble the Gift Card Envelope. Whilst of course it is sized perfectly to hold a gift card, this die is useful well beyond this one purpose.  You could do what I did and create a little love note within or it could be used to hold a handmade gift tag and adorn the top of a gift among other ideas. 

My little love note was created from white cardstock, I die-cut the lacy border using the Eyelet Lace Border dies and used some of the words from the Gift Card Envelope die and some silver cardstock to create the sentiment. The envelope was adhered at an angle on the background and with the little love note semi-tucked inside and just barely adhered with removable tape in case the recipient wanted to take it out.

I stamped the images I was needing to work with from the Big Hearted Bears stamp set. The images were coloured with the following Copic marker combinations.

Mailbox - C3, C1, C0
Pandas - T6, T5, T4, C1, C0, E40
Blushes - R22, R20, R00
Bicycle - R22, R20, R00, T6, T5, T4
Envelopes - R22, C3, C1, C0

The images were die cut using the coordinating dies and applied with dimensional foam tape and a few points were highlighted with a white gel pen and with that, this card was done!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today, I'll be back next Friday with something new.

Bighearted Bears Card & Treat Bag with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, super happy to be back with this lovely card and cute matching Treat Bag Topper showcasing the adorable pandas from Bighearted Bears. Love those little guys so much!

I started off by stamping all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers. And because pandas have neutral colors, I decided to go for a whole rainbow theme. Along with Bighearted Bears, here are the other stamp sets I used: ● Lovable llama - bow ● Panda Party - banners ● Special Day - hearts.

Next I worked on the card, and started by cutting several elements to build my little background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Dots & Stripes Pastels blue polka dot panel, a Comic Strip Speech Bubble frame out of an Amazing Argyle wooden textured pattern paper, and another frame out of a Dots & Stripes Pastels green stripe paper. I kept the four inside pieces of that green stripe paper, and used the grass border die from Picket Fence Border Dies to cut four small grass sections.

I attached my wooden frame on the blue polka dot panel using 1mm foam squares, and added the grass borders using the same adhesives. I white heat embossed my "Love you beary much" greeting from Bighearted Bears on the upper part of the bottom left hand square, and then attached all my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Added morning dew nuvo drops on the hearts, and highlights on the images using a white gel pen, and moved on to the Treat Bag Topper. 

I used the Treat Bag Topper main die three times to cut the different parts of my little landscape out of the same pattern papers as before, assembled everything using liquid glue, and attached my images using 1mm foam squares.

And that's it! I really love how both pieces turned out, and those pandas are so very cute. I can't wait to use them on more cards! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.
