Tulip Path Background Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with an Easter card to share with you showcasing the beautiful Tulip Path Background Stamps. This gorgeous scene can be an easy backdrop for a variety of cards. 

I stamped the images from the Tulip Path Background Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Tulip Path Background Dies to die cut the bunnies and butterflies out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Bunnies: E50/51/53/3
Flowers: RV00/02/04, YG01/03
Trees: RV00/02/04, E21/23
Grass: G20/24
Mountains: BV000/00
Windmill: E23, C3
Path: E41/42
Sky: B0000/000

I used the largest die from the Stitched Square Dies to diecut the panel.

For the sentiment, I die cut the letters for EASTER using the Chloe Alphabet Dies 3 times out of white cardstock. I stacked and adhered the layers together. I took a strip of vellum (1.25" x 5.5") and stamped the Happy sentiment from the Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Stamps on it before adhering the word Easter onto it. I wrapped and folded the excess to the back of my colored panel.

I adhered a piece of craft foam to the back of the colored panel before adhering it to a piece of white cardstock and slightly larger green cardstock. The panels were adhered to a white 5.5" square cardbase. Finally, I adhered the bunnies and butterflies with foam tape for a bit of interest and dimension. 

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.

Majestic Meadow Card with Leanne

Hi there! Leanne here today. I'm sharing a colorful spring scene card. This scene came together nicely with some images from the new Majestic Meadow stamp set. This stamp set creates an entire scene which you can use as is or use the coordinating Majestic Meadow dies to cut out specific parts of the scene which what I have done. 

I have used the tulips, the big tree, and the bird images from the set to create an A2 sized scene. First I ink blended a blue sky onto my card base. Next I Copic colored the images I wanted to use. I also used a bunny and butterfly images from the Bunnyville stamp set. I used the coordinating dies to cut out my colored images. 

Copic colors used: RV10, RV04, YR02, YR14, YG11, YG17, Y11, Y15, R00, R20, B21, B23, E41, E43, W01, W04, E51

I added a die cut Mini Grass Border to the bottom edge of the card front. Then I tucked the tulips under the grass. I added the tree to the right corner and trimmed off the extra. Next I adhered the bunny, birds, and butterflies to the scene with thin foam squares. Lastly I added the greeting in the open sky space. I used the Chloe Alphabet dies for the "hello"

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Cupcake Card with Nicky

Happy New Year everyone! This is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I'm sharing a card that was created using the Window Trio Hearts Portrait Die. No hearts here though! Instead, I used the die in a different way and created a sweet cupcake card. Read on for all the details.

I took an A2 white panel of cardstock and ran it through my Big Shot using the Quilted Hearts Embossing Folder. I applied this panel to my card base which was larger. Over this embossed background I attached a pink frame popped up on foam tape. I used the Fancy Frames Rectangle Die to do this.

Using the same pink cardstock from the frame plus four other pastel shades from my cardstock scraps, I die-cut the cupcake images from Window Trio Hearts Portrait Die and assembled them with glue.

I backed each cupcake with foam tape and applied them to the background in a grid pattern but tipped them playfully left and right when positioning them.

Using the same cardstock colours I took the Chloe Alphabet Die and die-cut the SWEET sentiment. Each coloured letter was backed with two white letters and I glued them all in stacks for some nice dimension. I glued these into position and then went through my Sunny stamps and found the word 'you're' and stamped that on a little sentiment strip and applied using foam tape.

To finish the card I added a tiny sparkling clear sequin to the top of each cupcake and then the project was complete and ready to mail off to someone very sweet indeed!

Thanks for stopping by the blog today and happy crafting!

Designer's Choice: Snowman Kisses Card with Nicky

Hi! This is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I hope everyone has been enjoying their holidays these past few days. I'm sharing a card I made and sent to a family member in the UK where we say Happy Christmas (Xmas) almost more than we say Merry Christmas, hence the sentiment. Read on for all the details.

Inspired by peppermint and candy canes I selected to use pinks, white and reds for this project. I took a panel of pink cardstock and I die cut it using the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. I backed this panel with white craft foam and applied it to an A2 white panel and then to my card base.

I used the Slimline Nature Borders Die to create some snow to ground the snowmen and glued it in place.

I stamped the snowmen from Snowman Kisses and coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:

Snowmen - C3, C1, C0
Red - R59, R39, R29
Pink Cheeks - RV63, RV52, RV00
Black - T9, T6, T5, T4
Brown - E49, E77, E44, E43
Green - YG45

I used a white gel pen to add designs to the scarf and highlight certain points to make them pop and then I die cut the images using the coordinating Snowman Kisses Die. Each image was backed with foam tape and applied to the background.

For the bold sentiment I used the Chloe Alphabet Die. I die cut the required letters once from red cardstock and twice from sturdy white cardstock and glued the letters in stacks with the red top layer slightly offset to the right so the white underneath acts as a highlight. I used some of the red Copic markers listed above to add shading to the lettering so that it had a more 3D appearance and then I glued the letters in place.

The finishing touch was to add some playful snowflake embellishments throughout the scene and I highlighted the sentiment and then this card was ready to send!

Thank you for coming by the blog today and I wish you all a very happy new year!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Fall Themed Cards with Sara Zoppi

Hi crafty friends, Sara here! Today I am so happy and grateful to be here again, guesting for Sunny Studio Stamps! And today I have two cards featuring some of the recent released fall products. So, let's dive into the first one!

Fall is around the corner and as soon as I saw the newest Autumn Garland Stamp set I fell in love and I knew I would have created a card with some unconventional fall colors. If you know me, you might know I am a big fan of the huge Sunny Studio critters and this bear included in the Holiday Hugs Stamp was the perfect match to this garland. So I firstly stamped the garland, the big bear and the small pinecone he is keeping using a dark brown copic friendly ink (Memento Espresso Truffle) and I started coloring everything with the copics listed below. I went for a desaturated palette, and I absolutely E08 loved the result.

- Bear: E44 – E43 – E42 – E40 – RV34 – R20
- Pinecone: E59 – E57 – E35 – E31
- Orange combo:– E97 – YR21
- Purple combo: RV69 – RV66 – V01
- Olive green combo: BG96 – YG95 – YG93
- Teal combo: BG78 – BG18 – BG72
- Berries: R89 – R56 – R35 – R43

I then die cut the images using Autumn Garland Dies and Holiday Hugs Dies and I moved into the background. I wanted a soft look and I decided to use the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die as a hot foil plate. This background die was perfect to get a light impression of foiling, I used a shining gold on white cardstock (every die can be used with the hot foil system, the look is really soft because the "lines" are really thin). I also white heat embossed the autumn word that comes from the Autumn Garland Stamp set on some teal cardstock and I completed the sentiment with a purple "greetings". I arranged the colored images and the sentiment on the background. 

To complete the card, I matted the foiled panel (which is slightly smaller than 4,25"x5,5") with a purple coordinated cardstock and then with a 6"x4,75" white panel too. And here's the finished result!

My second and last inspiration for today is more "spooky" and features the Happy Howl-o-ween Stamp set.

This is an almost one layer card and I know it looks more "intimidating" because there is an hand drawn background. But I can assure you it is not soo hard to do. I firstly stamped the four Halloween dogs using some Judikins Masking Paper: I started with the two in the foreground and then moved into the back. 

Then I colored everything with the copics listed below.

- Pumpkin: E08 – YR68 – E97 – YR15 – YR12 – YR21 | T7 – T4 – YR68 – Y13
- Dogs: T10 – T9 – T7 – T6 – T5 – E43 – E41
- Background: T10 – T8 – T7 – T5 – T4 – T3 – T2 – T1 – T0

For the background I firstly colored the sky, leaving a white hole as the moon. I then added layers of branches to create the wood.

I then trimmed the panel to 4"x5,25" and I decided to matt it with a 4, 5"x5,75" white panel in order to create a white frame around. For the sentiment, I die cut the word BOO with the Chloe Alphabet Dies (I die cut it twice from orange glitter cardstock and a black die cut with a small offset). I then added the white stripe with the orange "Happy Howl-o-ween" stamped sentiment. And here's the finished result!
 
Thanks for stopping by! I really hope you will like my projects and you will be inspired to create something!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Tropical Birds Cards with Sara Zoppi

Hi crafty friends, Sara here! Today I am really thrilled to be here again, guesting for Sunny Studio Stamps! And today I have two cards featuring the recent released Tropical Birds stamp set. So, let's dive into the first one!

Look, how cure are all those parrots? You might know I love playing with sentiments and customizing them, and that's what I did here. I knew I wanted to use the rainbow palette since the tropical birds are always so colorful, so I stamped all the parrots and I figured out how I would have arranged them from left to right.

I then colored them all using the Copics listed below and I die cut them with coordinating dies.

- First parrot: RV69 – RV66 – V04 – V01 – RV00 – YR61 – E000 – YR09
- Second parrot: YR09 – YR04 – Y38 – Y35 – Y11 – YG00
- Third parrot: YG17 – YG25 – YG23 – YG01 – YG00 – BG11 – BG23 – BG13
- Fourth parrot:  BG11 – BG23 – B69 – B66 – BV13 – BV01

I then moved into the background, which I wanted to keep simple. I took a piece of 4"x5.5" white cardstock and I stamped the branch included in the Tropical Birds stamp set with black ink: I also did some mirror stamping to create the right side of the branch. Then I die cut the word PARROT using the Chloe Alphabet dies and some coordinated colored cardstock; I arranged them below the branch and I attached the parrots using foam tape. To complete the card, I stamped the rest of the sentiment (which is included in the same set) with black ink and I matted the panel with one of the patterned sheet included in the Rainbow Bright 6x6 Paper. And here's the finished result!

My second and last inspiration for today features the same Tropical Birds stamp set but I was inspired to create a scene with them.  

You might recognize the background: I took inspiration from one of Sandy Allnock's copic coloring (Magical Rainforest), which was perfect to set the two toucans included in the set.

I firstly hand drew the branch where the two toucans are sit and I stamped them with Memento Black ink. I colored everything with the Copics listed below, creating a one layer scene.

- Male toucan: 100 – C9 – BV29 – BV17 – YG00
- Female toucan: 100 – C9 – C7 – RV66 – Y00
- Toucans beaks: 100 – C8 – C7  C6 | YR68 – Y38 – Y19
- Background: 100 – C7 – E47 – YG17 – YG03 – YG97 – V04 – BG09 – BG18 – B000 – BG23 – BG11 – RV69 – RV14 – Y19 – Y38

I then trimmed the panel to 4,25"x5,5" and I decided to mat it with a 4,75"x6" white panel in order to create a white frame around. For the sentiment, I stamped it on two white strips and I attached them with foam tape below the branch. And here's the finished result!
