Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hello friends! Leanne here and today I'm sharing an easy to make birthday card. I've created an outdoor scene featuring two sweet birdies and their neighboring houses hanging from a tree branch. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Tree Branch & Little Birdie Birthday Card by Leanne West (featuring Fluffy Cloud Border Dies, Build-A-Birdhouse Dies)

Now of course my branch and birdhouse scene first needed a pretty sky background. I used the Fluffy Cloud Border dies to cut masks for creating some soft billowy clouds with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.  

Next I used the Tree Branch and Build-a-Birdhouse die sets for the branches, birdhouses, and little birds. I die cut all the pieces from white card stock. I used small blending brushes and the following Distress Oxide inks to color: Blueprint Sketch, Tattered Rose, Rustic Wilderness, Crushed Olive, Kitsch Flamingo, Wild Honey, and Walnut Stain. I added all the die cut elements onto the background with thin foam adhesive so they all would be popped up a bit.

For the birthday sentiment I used stamps from the Little Birdie stamp set. There's separate words and short phrase stamps in this set. That made it easy to customize a birthday greeting and integrate it into the scene in three places.  Lastly, I trimmed the completed scene panel down to be slightly smaller than A2 size and adhered it to a pale yellow card base.

Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm back with another example of how you can find inspiration among your cards/projects. Last week, I showed you that you can create the same background (or almost) on two cards but have different images and different themes on each card. Well, for today's card, I was inspired by the Winter Love Birds card I shared at the beginning of February, I really enjoyed making that card, and thought how nice it would be to recreate it using die cuts only. Challenge accepted :)

Sunny Studio Stamps: Tree Branch Die Focused Winter Themed Card by Marine Simon (featuring Botanical Backdrop Dies, Little Birdie, Build-A-Birdhouse Dies)

So, just like the other card, I started off by creating a cloudy snowy sky on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I used lost shadow and hickory smoke oxide inks along with a cloud stencil from my stash to make that sky, and then added texture to make it less flat. I mixed some hickory smoke oxide ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters all over my panel, and then did the same with black soot oxide ink and with copic opaque white ink.

I set my panel aside to dry, and die cut all my bits and pieces out of different colored cardstock. Here is the detailed list of the die sets I used:

• Tree Branch: branch, leaves
• Build A Birdhouse: birdhouses, birds, pole
• Botanical Backdrop: snowflakes
• Sweet Treat House Add-On: bow
• Little Birdie: nest coordinating die

I added a little bit of shadows on all my pieces using oxide inks, stamped my "Sending winter hugs" greeting from Holiday Hugs in black on my panel, and then assembled and stuck everything using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

Once everything was nicely arranged on my panel, I added a few details to finish my card: a Snowflake Polymer Clay Confetti in the center of each snowflake, a black pearl on each bird for the eyes, and three white dots in the center of each flower using white nuvo drops. 

And that's it! I really love how this card turned out, and I hope that you like it too. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Build-A-Birdhouse Cards with Lien and Isha

Hi crafty friends! It's Lien here, with a great way to add some forced perspective on a card using different-sized images.

Sunny Studio Stamps Blog: Build-A-Birdhouse Metal Cutting Dies Scalloped Oval Spring Birds & Tree Branch Card by Lien Leysen

To get the most out of this forced perspective effect, I started out by creating a little window or frame for my scene. I die-cut one of the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 Dies from the center of some cream cardstock. This is cut slightly smaller than an A2 card so I'd have a nice margin all around in the end. My background is made from a very pale blue cardstock and I added a little bit of ink blending at the top to darken it up and add some more depth.
 
I propped my frame piece up on foam tape and then assembled two birdhouses from the fun Build-A-Birdhouse dies and also put the two birds together, setting those aside for later. I adhered to the birdhouses in the frame. I also cut the Autumn Tree die from brown cardstock, I'm just going to use the branches and some of the small leaves, tucking the branches underneath the frame. Using a jewel picker it's easy to add all the small leaves and to add more color I also added some tiny flowers on the branches. These flower dies are included in the Wonderful Windows dies

Sunny Studio Stamps Blog: Build-A-Birdhouse Metal Cutting Dies Scalloped Oval Spring Birds & Tree Branch Card by Lien Leysen
 
Because the birdhouses and the branches are quite small, the scene looks to be pretty far away. However, there's no real perspective on a card like this, in the end, these could just be small elements on a card. To force the perspective, to make the things inside the window look small and far away, add something outside of the window that is noticeably larger. A great element to do that with on this card would be some flowers or leaves. I opted for the leaves, using the Autumn Greenery dies to create some larger leaves for the outside of the window.

Hello everyone! Isha here today with an adorable thanks card featuring the Build-A-Birdhouse dies. Past few weeks I have been using pastel colors on my cards and as you know me I love colors, so for this card, I went with some bold colors.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Build-A-Birdhouse Thank You Card by Isha Gupta (featuring Little Birdie, Big Bold Greetings)

I started by creating the background using various colors of Distress inks. Sponged them by keeping the darker colors to the edges. Flick, black and white paint to the panel. Adhere the panel to a white card base. Stamp the tree branch from the Little Birdie stamp set, color, and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Die-cut the images from white cardstock using the Build-A-Birdhouse dies. Color the images using Copic markers. Adhere to various layers to finish the images. Adhere all the images to the card. Stamp the word thanks from the Big Bold Greetings stamp set onto a black card using Versamark ink. Sprinkle WOW! opaque white embossing powder. Heat set. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere the word to the card. 

Add Nuvo crystal glaze to some of the elements and the card is ready. Thank you for dropping by!

Build-A-Birdhouse Die Focused Cards with Vanessa and Tina

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a card using the adorable Build-a-Birdhouse Dies.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Build-A-Birdhouse Miss You Card by Vanessa Menhorn (featuring Big Bold Greetings)

I trimmed a panel from the cloud patterned paper from the Spring Fever Paper pad slightly smaller than my blue card base and adhered it. Now I die-cut all the pieces for my birdhouses and flowers using the Wonderful Window Dies, colored them with Copics, assembled the elements and adhered them to the card.

Then I stamped the sentiment from Big Bold Greetings, die-cut it with the matching die and adhered it. Finally, I added highlights with a white gel pen.

These dies are so cute and versatile. Love them! Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by!

-------------------------------------------

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina and today I am featuring the super cute Build-a-Birdhouse diesThis set is perfect for lots of occasions, and I decided to create two sweet mini cards for Easter.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Build-A-Birdhouse Easter Cards by Tina (featuring Mini Mat & Tag Dies, Out On A Limb Dies, Picket Fence Border Dies)

First, I die cut both panels from white Neenah cardstock with the Mini Mat & Tag 1 and Mini Mat & Tag 4 dies. Next, I transformed these panels into frames using a smaller rectangle from the Rectangle Infinity set

I wanted to create a little Spring scene using the Picket Fence Border Dies and Out on a Limb dies. Next, I cut the birdies and houses with the Build-a-Birdhouse dies.

The tree branches were colored with gray Copic markers, for all the other shapes and the background panels I blending Distress Oxides in the shades of Tumbled Glass, Prize Ribbon, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilized Amber. I used a cloud stencil from my stash for the sky and added lots of splatters with a paintbrush for extra texture.

I folded two white card bases and started assembling the scenes. I glued the branches and fence directly to the background with liquid glue. Next, I popped up the frames with foam tape and finished the cards with the leaves, birds, and cute houses.

For my sentiment I combined the ‘Happy Easter’ from the sets Clucky Chickens and Little Birdie. As a little embellishment, I added a few yellow stars from the Canary Sprinkletz pack.

I hope you will enjoy creating sweet birdhouses with this cute set too! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Rachel Alvarado

Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com, and I'm excited to share two projects with you today using products from the latest Sunny Studio Stamps release. For my first project, I created an A6 sized box card that showcases the super cute Clucky Chicken Stamp Set. I paired this set with some images from the Seasonal Trees Stamp Set to create a fun 3D scene. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Clucky Chickens Birthday Card by Rachel Alvarado (featuring Seasonal Trees)

When folded, my card measures at 4.5" x 6.25" and fits easily into a standard A6 (or even a 5x7) envelope for mailing. All of my images were stamped onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock, colored with Copic Markers, and cut out with both the Clucky Chicken and Seasonal Trees Die Sets.

Copic Colors Used:

  • Reds: R35, R59, R89
  • White: 0, C00, C1, C3
  • Chicks/Hay: Y19, Y21, E34
  • Tree: YG23, YG25, YG67
  • Birdhouse: B12, B16, B18

I also added a cute little white picket fence around the perimeter using the
 Picket Fence Border Die Set. For my grass, I used both the grass die from the Picket Fence Die Set as well as the grass die from the Slimline Nature Border Dies along with some green card stock. For my background sky, I trimmed a piece of the sky/cloud patterned paper that comes in the new Spring Fever Paper Pad.

For my second project, I made a simple card using the adorable new Build-A-Birdhouse Die Set. I layered my card with some pink patterned paper from the same paper pad that I had used above. After stamping my sentiment from the A Bird's Life Stamp Set, I then die cut a basic circle and blended it with some Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick, and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Inks. I added another piece of a white picket fence to this circular piece with some liquid adhesive and then trimmed off the edges of the fence so that it was flush with the edge of the circle. I then added this piece to the front of my card and framed it with some gorgeous white scalloped circles that I had die cut using the Fancy Frames Circles Die Set.

Lastly, I added my birds and bird house with some 3D Foam adhesive tape for some extra dimension. I love how sweet these birds are and how simple this set is to use.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by! If you liked these cards and want some more crafty inspiration, please feel free to check out my INSTAGRAM feed! Wishing you all a lovely day!
