Crisp Apples Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today we are creating a fun card with the versatile Build-a-Bowl dies. You can fill this bowl with lots of fruits, I opted for some yummy Crisp Apples!

Instead of a normal rectangle card base, I decided to round the corners and add a fun stripe pattern (stencil from my stash and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide).

I love adding lots of layers to my card, so next I cut a panel from a blue purple paper with one of the Rounded Rectangle Mat dies. I dry embossed this piece with the Dotted Diamond Portrait die. After cutting a smaller white piece of card stock with one of the Stitched Arch dies, I used the Woodgrain embossing folder for extra texture.

Then it was time for my centerpiece, which consists of the pretty bowl (Build-a-Bowl dies) cut from a purple gingham paper (Gingham Pastels) and embellished with a purple border (Ribbon and Lace Borders).

I cut a bunch of apples and leaves (Crisp Apples) from white card stock. I love that you get two sizes and colored them with Distress Oxide Abandoned Coral, Saltwater Taffy, Peacock Feathers and Scorched Timber.

My combined sentiment was taken from the Punny Apple Greetings set and stamped onto a white Brilliant Banner 4 with Versafine Onyx Black ink and a red ink from y stash. I stacked this banner on top of a purple one. A few Champagne Clear jewels were added for that extra sparkle.

Big Panda Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today I am creating a ‘get well’ project for my sister who is recovering from surgery. What better way to cheer her up then to send her a card featuring the cute Big Panda stamp and die set.

The whole idea for this design was combining the panda with a bold background. I browsed through my paper pads and came across this gorgeous rainbow wavy sheet (Spring Fever) which I cut to size so it would fit inside a white scalloped panel (Frilly Frames Polka-Dots). After gluing these two pieces together, I adhered both to a white card base.

Next, I stamped the cute panda (Big Panda stamp), a little bow, the flower bouquet and a letter (Big Bunny). I cut all the images with the matching dies, making sure to use the special die which cuts the arms of the panda. Now the bear can hold the flowers, so cute!! After coloring the images with my copics, I added some white highlights with a gel pen.

Although the panda looked cute against the bold background, I still decided to add an extra layer of vellum to tone the brightness down a bit. I wanted this layer to stick well to the pattern paper, so I adhered the vellum to a large piece of double sided sticky paper before cutting it with the spiral notebook die (Notebook Tabs dies). I glued this piece to the wavy paper at a little angle. My sentiment was taken from the Heartfelt Wishes set and stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto a white banner (Brilliant Banner 1).

To assemble the card, I placed the banner near the bottom of the vellum notebook page so I could tug in the bear behind this piece. I added the bow, flowers and letter and mounted everything with foam tape. After sprinkling a few Iridescent Clear Jewels this sweet project was ready!

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

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.
