Fintastic Friends Shark Week Card Set with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some ocean-themed cards for summer using our Fintastic Friends Stamps, among several other sets.

For my first card featuring all the octopus, seahorse, jellyfish, and other ocean critters from our Fintastic Friends Stamps, I thought it would be fun to create giant bubbles using the negative space left behind using our Stitched Circle Small Dies and Stitched Circle Large Dies. You could also create a similar look with our Staggered Circle Dies. I then stamped the greeting from the set and added a number of the smaller bubble images as embellishments around the larger bubble window cutouts.

For my second card, I couldn't resist combining all the sharks from our Fintastic Friends Stamps, Best Fishes Stamps, and Sea You Soon Stamps together in one card to commemorate Shark Week. I wanted to create the look of portholes in a ship so I nested circles from our Stitched Circle Small Dies and Stitched Circle Large Dies, cutting them from metallic gold cardstock. I then lined them up on my glass mat and used the grid on the mat to mark off the spots with my Sharpie pen. I then used an X-acto knife to create small slits to slip in mini gold brads as the porthole rivets. I made sure to apply all the brads before adding the panel to my card front so the inside of my card would still be pretty. For my ship's "wall," I inked up a piece of woodgrain cardstock with Vintage Photo Distress ink and added a punny greeting from the Best Fishes Stamps, which I stamped onto our Brilliant Banner 3 Dies. I used a piece of ivory cardstock for my banner and inked it up with Antique Linen Distress Ink to make it feel like an old scroll. Lastly, I stamped some solid bubbles around the sharks using images from the Best Fishes set.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today. 😊

Wedded Bliss Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a sweet wedding card to share with you featuring these adorable penguins from the Wedded Bliss and Passionate Penguins sets. The guests are toasting the happy couple that opted for a warm, tropical destination wedding.

I stamped the penguins from the Wedded Bliss Stamps and Passionate Penguins Stamps, the extra tree from the Ocean View Stamps and the drinks from the Tiki Time Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Wedded Bliss Dies, Passionate Penguins Dies, Ocean View Dies and Tiki Time Dies to diecut them out. I also stamped the background image from the Ocean View Stamps onto another piece of Neenah White cardstock (4.25" x 5.5"). I colored the images with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7, W00/1, R000/20
Clothing: C00/1/3, RV00/02/04
Flower: RV00/02, YG03
Drinks: R000/20/22
Trees: YG01/03/25/17, E31/33/35, E21/23/25/27
Sky: B0000/000
Clouds: C00/1
Water: B0000/000/00/02/04
Sand: E30/31/33

For the frame, I used the second largest die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies to diecut a window out of the center of a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5"). The frame was adhered to the colored panel with foam tape.

Wishing You Wedded Bliss! For the sentiment, I diecut the Brilliant Banner 3 Dies out of white cardstock. I diecut the center part of the banner twice to layer for a bit of dimension. I stamped the sentiment from the Wedded Bliss Stamps with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto one of the center part of the banner. I adhered the parts of the banner to each other with liquid adhesive and the entire banner to the frame with foam tape for extra dimension. 

The penguins were adhered to the panel with foam tape. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Fabulous Flamingos Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be sharing with you this lovely scene featuring three Fabulous Flamingos having a quiet moment in a pond, with dragonflies and flies buzzing around.

I started off by cutting a large Rounded Rectangle Mat panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and created a simple cloudy sky using a cloud stencil from my stash along with salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks. I splattered water on the panel and dried it with a paper towel. I mixed some peacock feathers oxide ink with water and added blue splatters to my cloudy sky using a slim brush, and then I did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I set my panel aside to dry, and stamped the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers, and then added highlights and details using a white gel pen. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Fabulous Flamingos - flamingos • Country Scenes - pond, cattails, small water lilies • Froggy Friends - cattails, flies, large water lily • Feeling Froggy - dragonflies • Seasonal Trees - trees.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, trimmed the bottom of my pond image from Country Scenes using the same Rounded Rectangle Mat die as the one I used to make the cloudy background, and then attached everything to my cloudy panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

For my sentiment, I first cut two banner pieces out of light pink cardstock using Brilliant Banner 1 dies. I white heat embossed "For my flamazing friend" on the front piece, attached that front piece to the back piece using 1mm foam squares, and then attached the whole banner to my panel using foam squares again. "For my" and "Friends" are from Little Birdie, and "Flamazing" is from Fabulous Flamingos. Finally, I attached my panel to a white card base, and added white blizzard nuvo drops to the dragonflies wings to make them sparkle.

And that's it! I wonder what those cute flamingos are talking about, don't you? Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Enchanted Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and my project today is so sweet and romantic! I am using the adorable Enchanted stamp and die set with lots of fairytale images. You can mix and match the sentiments to create the cutest messages!

Lots of romance going on and that is reflected in my color palette of soft pink, green and a bit of yellow. Such a perfect combo for this theme card. The scene wouldn’t be complete without lots of layers, I think it adds so much to the definition of a card.

Today I star with a standard pink card base, which I ‘created’ by coloring the edges of a plain white base with the darkest pink Copic marker I used for my coloring. Simple, and a perfect match!

Next, I cut a white panel using the outer die from the Frilly Frames Chevron set, which was further embellished by the Dotted Diamond Portrait die. This latter die is great to have in your stash, I love how it always elevates my cards and it is so easy to use!

Creating the oval focus point was achieved by combining the largest die from Scalloped Oval Mat 1 and the largest of the Stitched Ovals 2 dies. I used both to create a pink border, next, I cut three panel with the stitched die from white cardstock. One of these was splattered with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink and a small paintbrush. The other two were turned into grass borders (mini grass border dies, colored with Cracked Pistachio).

After selecting a cute princess, a knight and of course a castle (Enchanted stamp), I started my coloring with Copic markers. I added highlights with a gel pen.

I opted to stamp the combined sentiment (Enchanted stamp) onto a curved banner (Brilliant Banner 4) with Versafine Onyx Black ink. For extra interest, I cut the same shape from the pink card stock I used for the oval frame. I added all the layers and images to my card base and finished this project with some Pink Spinel Jewels.

I hope you like this sweet card and happy crafting!
