Vintage Jar Spring Bouquet Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some Spring floral bouquet cards today featuring our Vintage Jar Stamps and Dies!

For both of these cards, I started by stamping my first layer onto cardstock and die-cutting the jar with the coordinating dies, and then I stamped the second layer using a slightly darker shade of dye ink onto vellum before sprinkling the image with clear embossing powder and heat setting it. Typically, you can't heat-emboss with dye inks; however, because of the non-porous nature of the vellum and the fact that most dye inks would just smear off without drying, the clear embossing powder helped set the image. It also gave me a wider range of inks in my stash to choose from. I then die-cut the vellum layer and used a Zig Glue Pen to add a thin line of glue on the back of the vellum piece directly behind my heat-embossed lines to hide the adhesive and to give me a pocket to insert my flower stems.

For my first card showcasing the Vintage Jar Stamps, I filled my jar with the daffodils from our Spring Bouquet Stamps and Dies. I created a fresh green gingham backdrop for my card by pairing our Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die with our Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils. I then layered my white scalloped cardstock panel down the center by die-cutting the edges with a border from our Slimline Pennant Dies and added the offset straight stitching with our Slimline Basic Border Dies. As the final touch, I heat-embossed the "Happy Birthday" phrase from our Inside Greetings Birthday Stamps onto a yellow polka-dot print from our Spring Fever Paper pack, which I die-cut using our Brilliant Banner 2 Dies.

Ink colors used for daffodils:

• PinkFresh Sunshine
• PinkFresh Sweet Mustard
• PinkFresh Marigold
• PinkFresh Apricot

Ink colors used for stems & leaves:

• PinkFresh Key Lime
• Concord & 9th Parsley

For my next card featuring the Vintage Jar Stamps, I created a floral bouquet using our Tranquil Tulips Stamps and Dies. This time I turned to our Background Basics 2 Stamps to stamp the tone-on-tone hot pink diagonal grid print for my card background. To form my white scalloped cardstock strip down the center, I paired the eyelet lace border and the stitched edge from our Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. 

I stamped the same "Happy Birthday" phrase from our Inside Greetings Birthday Stamps onto a lavender polka-dot print from our Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper pack, which I die-cut using our Brilliant Banner 1 Dies. The polka-dot print felt washed out next to the vibrant purple tulips, so I inked up my patterned paper with some Wilted Violet Distress ink to closely match the colors. I love the idea of inking patterned paper to make it work for your needs and that the print still shows through the light layer of ink!

Ink colors used for hot pink tulips:

• Gina K. Bubblegum Pink
• Hero Arts Ultra Pink
• Gina K.Passionate Pink

Ink colors used for purple tulips:

• PinkFresh Soft Lilac
• PinkFresh Lavender
• Gina K. Wild Lilac

Ink colors used for stems & leaves:

• PinkFresh Key Lime
• Concord & 9th Parsley

Pink Peonies Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm happy to be back with this lovely mix & match of new and less new items. It's always nice to use our older sets and pair them with new images to give them some love.

I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them using the coordinating dies and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers. I've only used two stamp sets on this card: Pink Peonies for the flowers and leaves, and Foxy Friends for the foxes, watering can and birds. And once everything was colored, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth, and used the Buffalo Plaid Straight die to add texture to my panel. I wanted my panel to match with the Pink Peonies, so I covered it with spun sugar oxide ink first, and then added a gingham pattern using the Straight Stripes stencil along with worn lipstick oxide ink. I splattered water all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some worn lipstick distress spritz with water and added more splatters to my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink and with festive berries oxide ink. Next I cut a Frilly Frame Lattice panel out of white cardstock, attached it to my Buffalo Plaid Straight panel using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

For the greeting, I started off by cutting both pieces of my Brilliant Banner 3 out of vellum, white heat embossed "Thinking of you" from Watering Can on the main vellum piece, attached that main vellum piece to the back element using liquid glue, and then attached the banner to my panel using clear foam squares. I finally glued some clear droplets here and there to bring some shine to the card, and that's it! 

I hope that this card has inspired you to shop your old stash and mix your products with new ones. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Card with Nicky

Welcome to the Sunny Studio Stamps blog friends! This is Nicky with you today and I have fun mini slimline card to share with you that features the Window Trio Hearts Landscape Die in combination with other Sunny products. Read on for all the details.

I created two mini slimline panels of white cardstock with dimensions of 6 1/4 x 3 1/2 inches. With one of the panels I ink blended with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink, fading away to the white at the bottom. I then die cut the panel using the Window Trio Hearts landscape Die.  I laid the die cut panel on top of the second mini slimline panel and glued the hearts in place. I then added foam tape to the rest of the die cut panel and stuck it down carefully so that I was aligning the hearts properly.

I put a fairly generous amount of glue into each indented heart shape and I sprinkled in a pastel mix of sequins and tapped them down just a little and left them to dry.

I stamped and Copic coloured the images from Foxy Friends. Here are the combinations used:

Foxes - E99, E15, E13, E11, C3, C1, C0
Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00
Birds - BG34, BG11, C3, C1

The images were die cut using the coordinating dies and applied to the scene with dimensional foam tape and I also added a little highlighting with a white gel pen.

I arranged the words to form the sentiment on my stamping block so that they mirrored the curl of the Brilliant Banner 3 Die which I'd used to die cut white cardstock. I stamped the sentiment with black ink and then used a little peachy pink ink to blend the parts of the banner and then glued them together. The banner was backed with foam tape and applied above the trio of hearts.

Lastly, I used Copic W3 and W1 to add shade under the foxes and birds and I dotted in a little interest within the shaded area with a metallic gel pen.

I hope you enjoyed this card. I wish you some happy time this weekend in your craft space and I'll be back next Friday with something new.

Background Basics 2 Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun birthday card to share with you showcasing the Background Basics 2 Stamps, Foxy Friends and Little Birdie sets. I love that this Background Basics 2 Stamps allows you to create a patterned paper to match any scheme. 

I stamped the foxes from the Foxy Friends stamps, birds from the Little Birdie stamps and the balloon from the Party Pets Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Foxy Friends Dies, Little Birdie Dies and Party Pets Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Fox: YR21/23/24/27 E09, W00/1/3, W7, R00/30
Birds: Y11/13/15 YR27, Y38, R20
Pink: RV21/23/25
Yellow: Y11/13/15
Green: YG03/17

For the background, I masked off the top portion of a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock and lightly ink blended the grass with Mowed Lawn DIstress Oxide ink. The second largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies was used to trim out the panel. A white gel pen was used to add some dots and interest to the grass.

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner 1 Die to die cut a banner out of the same Neenah Solar White cardstock. I didn't have a perfectly matched piece of pink cardstock so I colored with banner with the same pink Copic markers that I used for the colored images (RV21/23/25). I stamped one of the sentiments from the new Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Stamps set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the banner. I assembled the banner die and adhered the banner to the panel with foam tape.

I used Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink to stamp the Background Basics 2 Stamps onto another piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5"). Once the panel was dried, I trimmed a total of 1/8" off from each dimension of the panel. Once again, to create a matching cardstock, I used a Copic marker (RV25) to color the edge of a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5"). I adhered the two pink panels together. 

I adhered colored images to the grassy panel with foam tape. A piece of craft foam was adhered to the back of the grassy panel before it was adhered to the two pink panels. Finally, I adhered the finished panel to an A2 white cardbase (4.25" x 5.5"I).

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