Balloon Alphabet Card with Nicky

Hello everyone, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I'm sharing a card featuring the fun Balloon Alphabet stamps and dies. Read on for all the details!

I die cut a white panel of cardstock using the Bursting Hearts Die. I glued this to a pale pink panel of cardstock and framed it out in white. This frame was made using the Comic Strip Everyday Die but I snipped out the dividing sections in the centre. This was all glued to a card base and set to one side.

I stamped the word LOVE using the Balloon Alphabet stamp and Cherry Kisses ink by The Stamp Market. I die cut the letters and backed them with foam tape. I stamped the kittens, 2 are from Cat Antics and one from Party Pets and I coloured this with Copic markers C3, C1, C0, C00, R22, R21, R20, R00. I highlighted with a white gel pen and die cut the images using their coordinating dies and backed these with foam tape too.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a black sentiment strip and backed this with foam tape. The word 'you' was taken from the Happy Thoughts Stamp set and the pretty font matches with the 'furever' word.

I then set about assembling all the foam backed elements and glued the balloon strings in place. To embellish the card I die cut some hearts using some of the pink cardstock and some glittering silver cardstock too and nestled these in position in random places and a few sparkling clear sequins in different sizes completed the scene.

Thank you for visiting the blog today, I hope you have a lovely and crafty weekend!

Foxy Friends Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am sharing a Valentine’s card with a couple of adorable cuties from Foxy Friends stamp and die set. There are a bunch of sweet images in this set which made it hard to select just two! I will definitely make more projects with the other critters!

After creating a white card base, I cut a scalloped border from a white panel with the outer die from Fancy Frames Rectangle dies.

You can never have enough hearts on a ‘love themed’ card and that is where the Bursting Hearts die comes in handy! I used this die in a previous project where I wanted to add white hearts to my design, so I still had the background panel set aside. I always love when you get different uses from one product! To make all the heart shapes really pop I glued a red striped panel (Striped Silly pad) to the back of the white background.

Next, I glued this piece to the card base and added the white border. For my focal point, I die cut a white circle which was just a bit larger than the second of the Scalloped Circle Mats 3. Additionally, I created a vellum circle with the later die.

Using some ‘glue sheets for vellum’, I was able to add the vellum to the white circle without visible traces of glue. Next, I mounted the circles to the heart panel with foam tape.

I selected a cute pair of foxes, an umbrella (Foxy Friends stamp and die set), a letter   (Bighearted Bears) and a tiny bow (Heart Bouquet Stamps). For my color scheme, I went with brown, teal and red Copic markers. Of course, I had to add white details with a gel pen! My sentiment was pulled from the Foxy Friends stamp and I used a red ink from my stash.

To complete the design, I placed the images and sentiment banner in position. As a final embellishment, two red jewels (Bright Jewel mix) were glued on each side of the sentiment.

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here with an adorable Valentine themed card! I am using the versatile Window Trio Hearts Portrait die and I love how easy it creates a fun design!

As usual, I started with a white card base and went on to stamp a pink grid pattern on a white panel (Background Basics 2). From this panel I created three heart shapes using the Window Trio Hearts Portrait die. To match these hearts I selected a pretty pink heart paper (Flirty Flowers), cut it to an A2 size and off set the Window Trio Hearts Portrait die to the left side. I kept the three pattern paper hearts for another project and mounted the panel to the card base.

Next, I simply inlayed the pink grid hearts with some liquid glue. For extra interest, I also added a white scalloped border (Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies).

After selecting three adorable cuties from Bighearted Bears, I colored them with grey, pink and teal copics. The perfect combination for a love themed card! Each bear was placed inside a heart shape with foam tape.

My combined sentiment was taken from the same set and stamped onto small white strips with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I stacked the strips on top of each other in the bottom right corner.

Then I pulled one of my favorite dies, Bursting Hearts, and created a bunch of white hearts in one pass of my die cut machine! I love alle the different sizes you get as well! I scattered the cute hearts all over the design.

I can’t wait to see your projects with these products! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Nicky

Hi, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio blog and I have a card to share that features the Tree Branch Dies along with other products.

As I so often do, I started at the back and worked forwards. To that end I die cut pink cardstock using the Bursting Hearts Die and popped out all of the hearts and layered the piece on top of a white A2 panel and then glued to my card base. I took another white A2 panel and die cut using the Comic Strip Everyday Die and I snipped out the divisions to leave a skinny frame.  This was backed with foam tape and applied to the heart background. I die cut a circle from the same pink cardstock and stamped the sentiment from Lovey Dovey, this was also applied with foam tape.

I die cut two tree branches from white cardstock using the Tree Branch Dies and coloured with Copic markers. I also stamped the birds and blooms from Love Birds using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa, and die cut using the coordinating dies. Here are the Copic colours used:

Branches - E44, E42, E31, E41
Leaves - B04, B12, G40, G20
Birds - B04, B12, B41, BG70, Y17, YR31
Blushes and Blooms - R85, R83, R81

A white gel pen was used to highlight a few points then the  branches and birds were applied with foam tape and leaves and blooms glued in their positions and with that ... the card was complete!

Thanks for stopping by to read the blog today, I'll be back next Friday with something new.

Bighearted Bears Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a Valentine’s card pairing the sweet Bighearted Bears Stamps with a fun bold sentiment from the My Heart Stamps.

I chose a soft pink, cream and gray color scheme to really make those adorable pandas take center stage. I started by cutting a piece of cream cardstock 3 1/2" x 4 1/4" and inked it with Spun Sugar and Saltwater Taffy Distress inks just short of the edges of the cardstock. I splattered a little watered down Dr. Ph Martin’s Bleed Proof White with a fan brush. After the piece was completely dry, I heat embossed the sentiment from the My Heart Stamps with white embossing powder. I then adhered this piece to the top of a white A2 card base.

Next, I cut a piece of gray cardstock 2” x 4 1/4" and die-cut it using the Quilted Hearts Portrait Die. I adhered this to the bottom of the card front. I cut a piece of cream cardstock 1/2" x 4 1/4" and die-cut it using a Heartstrings Border Die. I adhered this to a 1/4" x 4 1/4" strip of black cardstock overlapping it until just a thin portion of the black strip was visible. I then adhered this combined piece along the top edge of the gray cardstock. Using another die from the Heartstrings Border Dies, I die-cut a piece of pink cardstock and adhered the small hearts to the cream die-cut piece.

To finish, I stamped the bears on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I added a few extra hearts by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock using the Bursting Hearts die, inked them with Saltwater Taffy Distress ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder for a little shine.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.
