Designer's Choice Cards with Vanessa and Audrey

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a summer card using the adorable Passionate Penguins for a beach scene.

I first die-cut a stitched panel from white cardstock, using the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. Now I inked the top part with Broken Glass Distress Oxide ink and adhered the panel to the card base. I die-cut the sand and the waves from white cardstock, trimmed them with the stitched rectangle die, inked the sand with Brushed Corduroy and the waves with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks, added little ink droplets and adhered the layers to the card. 

For this scene I used these sets:
Passionate Penguins stamps + dies
Beach Babies stamps + dies
Beach Buddies stamps + dies
Kiddie Pool stamps + dies
Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies
Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies
Catch a Wave Dies

After I had added clouds and the bird, I stamped my images. I colored them with Copics, die-cut the pieces with the matching dies and adhered the elements to the card, popping-up some with foam-tape.

Have a lovely and hopefully sunny day!

Hello friends! Audrey here with a fun summer themed card which mixes older and new stamp sets! One of my favorite things about Sunny Studio is that all of the products coordinate so well together! 

To create this card, I started with a piece of white cardstock cut to 4.25" x 5.5". I used a cloud stencil from my stash and Tumbled Glass Distress ink to create a cloudy sky. I stamped a colored the sea and sand image and some clouds from the Ocean View stamp set, then die cut them with the coordinating Ocean View dies. Then, I stamped a colored one of the cute seals from the Sealiously Sweet stamp set, along with some additional beach accessories. The beach ball and flip flops work so well with the Ocean View images! Those were die cut with the coordinating Sealiously Sweet dies and popped up with foam tape. 

I stamped a sentiment from Sealiously Sweet on a die cut banner and popped it up at the top of the scene, and to finish off my card, I added some white gel pen accents to all of the images and Diamond Stickles to the ocean water.

Ocean View Cards with Alma and Gladys

Hello, this is Alma and I would like to spend a day with you at the dream beach today! For today's card I've chosen a square format. 

In the center of my card is the awesome beach image from the Ocean View Stamps set, which I coloured with Copics and punched out with the Ocean View dies. To make the beach look even more fabulous, I chose a rainbow coloured background. To do this, I gently wiped the background with the Distress Oxide Inks shades Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet, Twisted Citron, Wild Honey and Worn Lipstick. Then I punched a stencil with the cloud die from the Slimline Nature Border Dies set and applied a layer of clouds with the same colour tones. I then sprinkled water on it to add texture to the background. Finally I set some highlights with the white gel pen. 

Then for the foreground I punched waves with the Catch a Wave Dies and coloured them with Distress Oxide Inks 'Mermaid Lagoon'. I then coloured the characters from the Beach Buddies Stamps set. After that I assembled all the individual parts and stamped the text Summer Sunshine from the same set. 

Don't you want to enjoy the day in the water with these cute characters?!

Hello crafty friends! Gladys here sharing a beach scene card featuring the Ocean View stamp set.

To begin I stamped and colored the ocean backdrop image. I only used part of the image as a backdrop for a wedding scene. Then I cut the image using the coordinating dies. I cut it again using a basic stitched rectangle die to have the stitching all around. Next I stamped the cute married penguin couple from Wedded Bliss, colored them with Copic markers then cut using the matching dies.

For the sky background I used distress oxide inks in faded jeans, kitsch flamingo and tattered rose. I adhered the ocean image on the inked panel using liquid glue. Then I backed the penguins with foam tape to add dimension. To complete the scene I added a few clouds in the sky. Finally I stamped the sentiment using the Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Tropical Trees Backdrop Cards with Bobbi and Catherine

Sometimes when you find a friend you really enjoy spending time with, it’s fun to just take a drive, listen to music and talk. Hi there! It’s Bobbi Lemanski here with a greeting card that was made for one of those special friends in your life. What could be more fun than driving through a tropical landscape with the top down?  Hawaii comes to mind for me. My husband and I rented a convertible and drove through the most beautiful areas of one of the islands. We had so much fun! These happy memories inspired this card. 

I’m using the following products for this card:
Tropical Trees Backdrop die set
Passionate Penguins stamp set and coordinating die set
Polka Dot Parade 6″ X 6″ pattern paper

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I started by cutting a 7″ wide X 10″ tall card base and all the dies from the Tropical Trees Backdrop die set out of 80lb white cardstock. I also cut a separate 5-1/4″ X 4″ backdrop piece for the scene. Using Copic markers, I colored the following cuts:

Palm Trees: E59, E57, E55, YG67, YG17, Yc10G03
Convertible Car/Penguins: YR09, YR68, YR15, 100,  C8, C5, C3, C1, C0, Y06, Y08
Clouds: BG23, BG11, BG10
Gravel Road: W8, W7, W4, W3, 100, C8, C7, C5, C3 (Note: This piece was hand cut.)
I also used YG67 for the Grass blades along the road.

For the scene backdrop, I used Distress Oxide Inks in Mermaid Lagoon and Broken China to create the sky and Mowed Lawn for the bottom grassy area on the separate, scene piece. For more depth, I added faint palm trees to the background using the negative space of the die cuts and blending on Rustic Wilderness for the leaves and Rusty Hinge for the trunks. While subtle, this really creates depth to the scene.

On the front of the card base, I added 1/2″ horizontal strips of pattern paper from the Polka Dot Parade 6″ X 6″ pattern paper in the center. I attached the separate 5-1/4″ X 4″ scene piece to the middle of the card front and adhered the stitched border around it. All of the scene elements were added to the scene. I layered the clouds and the die cut trees over the inked background. The die cut palm trees were attached using Scrapbook Adhesives foam tabs. I allowed the palm trees’ leaves to extend over the stitched borders on the sides as well as the big cloud die cut. The car was placed over the gravel road.

On the inside, I stamped two more penguins and the cute phrase from the Passionate Penguins stamp set and attached pattern paper strips (leftover from the front panel) at the bottom for added fun and color! This card is ready to cruise down the road with its top down!

Hi Friends! Catherine here, sharing a Summer card created with the Tropical Trees Backdrop and the all so adorable Passionate Penguins Stamps.

To start, I die cut the Tropical Trees Backdrop with White Cardstock. I placed the backdrop frame onto another piece of White Cardstock 4.25’ x 5.5.” Using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, I ink blended both pieces with a cloud stencil made with Fluffy Clouds Border Dies leaving about 1.5” on the bottom white.

Next, I placed the sand piece of the Tropical Trees Backdrop back inside the backdrop frame and ink blended the sand and the bottom part of the frame with Antique Linen Distress Oxide. I added a grainy effect with Copic Markers.

For the waves, I die cut three pieces of White Cardstock with the waves from Catch A Wave Dies. I ink blended the waves with Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks  and sprayed some water onto the waves.

I die cut the two palm trees in the set with White Cardstock and ink blended the trees with Gathered Twigs, Antique Linen, Mowed Lawn, and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks. I added coconuts with two small circles and ink blended the coconuts with Ground Espresso and Antique Linen Distress Oxide Inks.  I then die cut the birds from the set with White Cardstock and ink blended with Black Soot Distress Ink. I glued the waves, birds, and palm trees onto the background.

I added the adorable Penguins from Passionate Penguins Stamps which were die cut with the coordinating die set Passionate Penguins Dies and colored with Copic Markers. I added sunglasses from Beach Buddies Stamps on one Penguin friend and a flower from Tiki Time Stamps on the other friend.

The surf boards are from Surfing Santa Stamps. The sandcastle from Beach Babies and seashells are from Fintastic Friends. I finished off the card with a white heat embossed sentiment from Tiki Time Stamps.

Stitched Rectangle Die Focused Cards with Mayra and Ashley

Happy Monday everyone! Mayra here with you today, yay!! I am sharing this fun summer-themed card using the awesome Stitched Rectangle dies.

I began by coloring the images from the Beach Buddies, Tiki Time, Outback Critters, and the Balloon Rides stamp sets that I would use for my card. I used Copic markers. For the yellow areas, I used Y11, Y08, Y19, and YR24. For the pink, I used RV52, RV21, RV23, and RV06. For the teal, I used BG11, BG10, BG13, and BG49.

Next, I die cut the base panel, and an extra-base panel using the largest of the stitched rectangle in the set. Then I created a frame using the largest die and the next size down. The patterned paper is from the Dots & Stripes Pastels set.

For the sand area, I used the Slimline Nature Borders die set, and for the waves, I used the Catch A Wave dies. The speech bubble is from the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles die set.  I added color to the base panel using Distress Oxide inks, I used Squeezed Lemonade, Scattered Straw, Mustard Seed, Kitsch Flamingo, and Picked Raspberry. For the waves, I used the color Salvaged Patina Distress ink.

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day.

Hi friends! It's Ashley with a pretty card featuring the Stitched Rectangles die set! I had so much fun pulling out an old set for my card last week that I decided to pull out another old favorite to combine with the new dies this week! The final result was this monochromatic Pink Peonies card - or should I say Teal Peonies?

I started by using the three Stitched Rectangles on two colors of teal cardstock (one medium, one light) and one piece of polka dot teal paper from Dots and Stripes Pastels. I layered my die cuts onto a dark teal card base for a blocked ombre look in the background.

I stamped all the images from Pink Peonies in Pinkfresh Studio Detail Black ink onto Bristol smooth cardstock so I could color them with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I added a few details with a white gel pen, then cut everything out with the matching dies before layering them onto the card. I die cut the "for you" from the Gift Card Pocket die set three times out of the same dark teal cardstock I used for my base. I glued them all together for a dimensional sentiment and added it to the card. To finish, I added a scattering of Aquamarine jewels.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
