Guest Designer Spotlight: Gift Card Holders with Tammy Stark

Hello friends! Tammy here with a couple of fun onesie gift card holders, featuring the Bundle of Joy stamp set.

To begin, I stamped the images from the Bundle of Joy stamp set, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the coordinating Bundle of Joy dies. 

To create the onesie shape, I started with an A2 rectangle (measuring 4 1/4X 5 1/2") cut from the Flirty Flowers Paper. I freehand cut the shape, taking inspiration from the onesie in the Bundle Of Joy set, then used the Stitched Circle Small Dies to cut the neck and leg openings. I then traced it onto heavy white cardstock and cut it out to create the back of the gift card holder.

Next, I cut 2 white Scalloped Circles Mat 1, then layered a Stitched Small circle, cut from Bristol smooth cardstock. I ink blended one with pink ink and the other with light blue ink and adhered to the scalloped circles. I attached the scalloped circles onto the onesies using foam tape, then added the stamped images onto the circles. The sentiments were created using the Brilliant Banner 3 Die. I die cut the banners using coordinating cardstock, then stamped the sentiments from the Bundle of Joy set in black ink, and attached to the gift card holders with foam tape. Lastly. I glued the white cardstock to the patterned paper, making sure to only adhere the bottom and sides of the onesie to create a pocket. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope I inspired you to create a fun shaped card using dies, and a cute stamp set, of course!

Sweet As Can Bee Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I am excited to share a sweet birthday card showcasing the super cute new Sweet As Can Bee set from the latest Summer Release.

I stamped the images from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps and a branch from the Little Birdie Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Sweet As Can Bee Dies and the Little Birdies Dies to die cut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Bees: Y11/13/15/19, T1/3/5/7, R20, B000
Beehive: Y11/13/08 YR21/24, W5
Branch: E21/23/25/27
Leaves: YG01/03/25

For the background, I used Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend a sky background onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I used the Comic Strip Everyday Dies to die cut a frame out of white cardstock. I used a pair of scissors to snip off the dividers and leave just a border frame. Foam tape was used to adhere this white frame onto the inked panel. I added some dots with a white gel pen for a bit of interest.

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner 1 Dies and Brilliant Banner 3 Dies to die cut the banners out of black cardstock. I stamped the “Just Buzzin’ by to Say” and the custom created “Happy Bee Day” sentiments from the Sweet And Can Bee Stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto the banner die cuts and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder.

The colored images were adhered to the panel with liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. I added a few flowers die cut from the Gift Card Envelope Dies. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25” x 5.5”).

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

Meow & Furever Cat Love-Themed Cards with Mendi

Hello there! I hope you had a lovely Christmas. This is Mendi popping in to share some love-themed cards for Valentine's Day featuring our adorable Meow & Furever Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Meow & Furever Stamps, I made the adorable cat peeking through the heart-shaped cutout in his newspaper the focal point. I used a sketch for this card, keeping my card design relatively clean and simple. I relied on the fun, bright striped paper from the Spring Sunburst Paper pack and layered die-cuts to add interest. I landed on this particular color palette and patterned paper because I had colored this tabby cat image years ago, and I was looking for a way to incorporate orange into a Valentine's Day card, which felt like a bit of a challenge.

For my background, I started by die-cutting the diagonal grid print from the Gingham Pastels Paper pack using the Fishtail Banner 2 Dies. I then stacked the Stitched Heart 2 Die, cut from Bazzill's swiss dot cardstock, with a white Scalloped Heart Die inked with a bit of Salty Ocean Distress ink in the center. Lastly, I heat-embossed the punny "Meow You Doin'?" phrase from the Meow & Furever set onto a blue Brilliant Banner 1 Die.

For my second card using the Meow & Furever Stamps, I created another cat love-themed card perfect for Valentine's Day! I had colored all of my cat images and red hearts many years ago, and I was determined to use every last piece for today's cards, so it was fun challenging myself to find the perfect way to use what I had. For this card, I started with a dark kraft cardstock base and layered a blue heart print from the Flirty Flowers Paper pack over the top, which had been die-cut using the largest banner from the Slimline Pennant Dies. I added four of the smallest dies from the Scalloped Square 1 Small Dies into a 2x2 grid and centered my kitties over the top of each of the squares. I completed my card by heat-embossing the greeting from the set onto a red Brilliant Banner 2 Die and sprinkling the five small red hearts like flat mail-friendly embellishments.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛
