Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Marieke Slaats

Hello all, Marieke Slaats here! I'm back with a project that I created as a guest designer for Sunny Studio Stamps. The lovely Mendi asked me to be a guest this month and I could not resist saying yes. So for my first project I created a series of Artist Trading cards.

For my Project, I cut four rectangle panels using the Polka Dot Parade 6x6 Paper. I die-cut a slightly smaller rectangle and inked some different colors of ink onto it. I used the same colors of ink and a stencil to create the confetti. I splattered some water and adhered them together. 

I stamped the images out of the Party Pets Stamp, colored them up using my Copic markers, and cut them using the Party Pets Dies. I adhered the images to the cards and added some Glossy Accents to the balloons. I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiments. I finished the cards by adding some Citrine, Peridot, Aquamarine, and Pink Spinel Jewels.

Used Copic Colors:
Green - YG67, YG63, YG03, YG01
Brown Dog - E57, E55, E53, E51,
Grey Dog - C6, C4, C2, C1 / C5, C3,C1, C00, 0/ R24, R22, R20, R00
Yellow - Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11
Black Cat - N6, N4, N3, N2 / C5, C3,C1, C0
White Cat - C5, C3, C1, C00, 0 / R22, R20, R00

For my second project, I created a shaker card using the adorable Cat Antics Stamp. First, I cut a white rectangle. Using the Window Trio Heart Portrait, I partially cut the top and bottom hearts. I stamped the sentiment using two different colors of pink inks. Then, I used the lightest color again for the hearts out of Wedded Bliss.

I added a strip of acetate behind the white rectangle. I cut a side-fold white base card and adhered the Sleek Stripes Paper onto it. I cut a white rectangle and ink-blended some Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide inks onto it. I filled the shaker and closed it.

I stamped the cats out of Cat Antics and colored them using my Copic markers. I cut them by using the matching Cat Antics Dies and adhered them to the card.

Used Copic Colors:
Black - N6, N4, N3, N2
Pink - R24, R22, R20, R00
White - C5, C3, C1, C00, 0

Have a wonderful day!

Balloon Alphabet Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun card to share with you showcasing the Balloon Alphabets set and these adorable kitties from Party Pets and Cat Antics sets. These kitties are super excited and ready to party!

I stamped the Balloon Alphabets stamps with Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110 lb cardstock. I die cut them out with the coordinating Balloon Alphabet Dies.

Next, I stamped the kitties from the Cat Antics stamps and Party Pets stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Cat Antics 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:
Orange Cats: YR31/20/21/24/27, R00/20
Gray Cats: C00/0/1/3, R00/20
Brown Cats: E51/53/33, R00/20

For the background, I used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to ink blend the center of a piece of white cardstock. The second largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies was used to trim the inked panel. I used the largest die from this same set to die cut a piece of red cardstock.

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Inside Greetings Birthday Stamps set directly onto the inked panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

For my card base, I took a piece of sturdy white cardstock (4.25" x 11"), scored it at the midline (5.5" mark) and folded it in half. I placed the largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies just slightly above the fold line (hinge of the card base) and die cut the cardstock. This created a white card base just slightly shorter than my red panel. 

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 Spring Release, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Cat Antics Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun card to share with you showcasing these adorable kitties from the Cat Antics set. These sweet and playful kitties are just the cutest.

I stamped the images from the Cat Antics stamps set as well as the balloon bouquet from the Party Pets Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Cat Antics Dies and Party Pets Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Orange Cats: YR31/20/21/24/27, R00/20
Gray Cats: C00/0/1/3, R00/20
Brown Cats: E51/53/33, R00/20
Balloons: R22/24/27/29
Yarn: R22/24/27
Box: E40/41/42/43

For the layout, I used one of the dies from the Rounded Rectangle Windows Dies to diecut two windows into a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110 lb cardstock. I stamped "sending" from the Holiday Hugs Stamps set and "pawsitive vibes" from the Cat Antics Stamps set directly onto the panel with black and red inks. I used the panel as a guide to ink blend a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock with Spun Sugar and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks. I used foam tape to adhere the two panels to each other.

I decorated the card front with the colored images using a combo of liquid adhesive and foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. I adhered the panel to an A2 white card base and finished the card with a few Majestic Clear Confetti for some sparkle.
