Background Basics 2 Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this trio of Valentine cards showcasing a mix and match of items from different releases: the Background Basics 2 stamp set from the brand new Spring 2025 release, and three previously released big critters that I like to use all year long for any kind of theme.

I started off by cutting three Strathmore bristol smooth panels using the largest Scalloped Square 1 Small die, I masked the edges off on each panel using washi tape, and created three identical backgrounds in three different color palettes. For the pink panel, I covered the panel with spun sugar oxide ink first, and then stamped the Background Basics 2 chicken wire pattern using kitsch flamingo oxide ink. For the purple panel, I covered the panel with shaded lilac oxide ink first, and stamped the pattern using wilted violet oxide ink. 

And for the aqua panel, I covered the panel with salvaged patina oxide ink first, and stamped the pattern using peacock feathers oxide ink. Next I mixed white ink with water, and splattered that mix on the three panels, and then sprayed matching distress spritz on each panel to add shine and sparkles. Removed all the washi tape and set my panels aside to dry.

I stamped all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in shades of gray for the characters, and in one of my all time favorite color palettes for the other images: aqua, pink and purple. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Big Bunny - bunny, tulips, envelopes, bows • Big Panda - panda • Holiday Hugs - bear, heart pillow, gift • Special Day - hearts • Balloon Rides - banners.

I cut three 4,75 x 4,75 inches panels out of Polka Dot Parade papers, attached them to a card base, and then stuck each scalloped panel to its matching card base using 1mm foam tape. I attached the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, applied a bit of white blizzard nuvo drops on each heart for more sparkles, and then cut three Brilliant Banners 1 for my white heat embossed "Happy Valentine's Day" greetings from Bighearted Bears.

And that's it! I hope you like this lovely trio of Valentine cards. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today. I'm so excited to share some inspirations for the new Spring Release. Today I am showcasing the new Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies. 

There are two sets of dies, Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies and Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies, that just came out. Both sets will die cut a set of three hearts with a beautiful faux stitching on the inside and outside of the cutting line. Both have fun extra dies that come along with them. These were so much fun to play with that I have created two Valentine's Day cards to share with you today. So let's get started. 

For my first card, I have a clean and simple faux shaker style card to share with you. I used the Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies to die cut the windows into a piece of white cardstock (4" x 5.5"). I stamped the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment from the new Foxy Friends Stamps set directly onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

Next, I stamped the penguin from the Passionate Penguins Stamps set and the heart balloons from the new Party Pets Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Passionate Penguins Dies and Party Pets Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7, W0/1, Y38 YR04, R30
Balloons: RV52/55/06/17

I adhered the penguin and balloons onto the white panel. Then added some foam tape to the back side of the panel before adhering it to a piece of patterned paper ( 4.25" x 5.5") from the Polka Dot Parade Paper Pack. I adhered the panel to a white card base (4.25" x 5.5") and finished the card with a few clear confetti sequins. 

For my second card, I decided to use the leftover hearts from the cards that I have created with these Window Trio Heart Dies as well as play with all of the fun bonus dies that come with both of these dies. I die cut all of the bonus dies from the Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies and Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies out of white, red, brown and gold cardstock. I adhered them together as shown in the pictures. 

For my layout, I used the Frilly Frames Polka Dot Dies to die cut a panel out of white cardstock. I took two pieces of pink cardstock. I used the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die to create the diamond pattern on one of the two pink pieces before using the medium sized die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies to trim the panel down to fit inside the white panel. I adhered the smaller pink panel onto the white panel and then onto the solid pink panel. I added my leftover white hearts, then adhered the bon bons and hearts with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. 

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner 1 Die to die cut a banner out of red cardstock. I stamped one of the sentiments from the new Foxy Friends Stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto the banner and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I assembled the banner die, added a couple of hearts from the center of the bonus key die from the Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies and adhered the banner to the panel with foam tape. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white card base (4.25" x 5.5").

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.

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Garden Critters Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here to share a clean and simple Valentine's card featuring the Window Trio Heart Landscape die. 

I used the landscape version of this die and the inlay technique to create a heart filled panel that measures 4"x 5.25".  I adhered the panel to a light pink A2 size mat. I then filled each window with different shades of pink hearts die cut using the same Window Trio Heart Landscape die. 

Other Sunny Studio supplies used to create this card are listed below:

Icing Border dies - For the decorative wavy lines added above and below the hearts. 

Garden Critter stamp set and coordinating dies - For the butterflies and sentiment. 

Brilliant Banner 3 die -  For the die cut banner where I stamped the sentiment.

I used some warm grey Copic markers to add light shading to the banner. I colored the butterflies with R00, R20, R22, RV55, W1, & W3. 

For this simple design, the banner and butterflies can be placed anywhere on the card. I decided wanted a centrally balanced focal point and adhered them with foam squares right in the middle. To finish the design, I added a few sparkling clear sequins.

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Passionate Penguins Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a sweet shaker card to share with you featuring the new Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies. There are two sets of dies, Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies and Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies, that just became available yesterday. Both sets will die cut a set of three hearts with a beautiful faux stitching on the inside and outside of the cutting line.

Today I have used the Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies to create windows for my shaker card. I used the die twice to die cut a total of six heart windows into my piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5"). I adhered a piece of clear acetate and some foam tape on the back side of the panel to create shaker wells. I added some heart shaker bits from my stash before closing the back with a piece of pattern paper from the Gingham Pastels Paper Pack.

Next, I stamped the penguin from the Passionate Penguins Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Passionate Penguins Dies to die cut him out. I colored him with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7, W0/1, Y38 YR04, R30

For the sentiment and hearts, I used the Brilliant Banner 1 Die to die cut a banner out of teal cardstock and the Gift Card Envelope Dies to die cut the word "love" (twice) and some hearts out red cardstock. I layered and adhered the two "love" words to each other for a bit of strength and dimension. I stamped the word "sending" from the Holiday Hugs Stamps set onto the teal banner with the Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I assembled the banner die before adhering the word love onto it. 

I adhered the penguin and banner onto the card front with foam tape and the hearts directly onto the panel with liquid adhesive. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white 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 check out the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend. Happy New Year! Wishing you a bright, happy, healthy and crafty 2025!
