Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Sara Zoppi

Hi crafty friends, Sara here! It's been a long time since I was here, but today I am super happy to be guesting again for Sunny Studio Stamps! And I can't wait to show you two inspiration cards featuring some of the recent released products. So, let's dive into the first card!

Spring has come and the Spring Garland stamp set is a must have! As soon as I saw the preview, I knew I would have paired those two corner garlands with the recent released too Penguin Pair, which contains some of the cutest penguins ever!

I firstly stamped all the images I wanted to feature in my scene using Memento Black ink on some alcohol friendly paper. Then I colored all the images with my brand new OLO markers (alcohol markers are my absolutely favourite coloring mediums and I couldn't resist those ones too). The colors I used are listed below. I then added some details with the white gel pen and I die cut everything using the coordinating dies.

- Red Combo: R0.6 – R1.5 – R0.4
- Pink combo: RV1.7 – RV1.5 – RV0.4
- Orange combo: O2.7 – O2.5 – O1.3 – YO2.3
- Yellow Combo: Y2.3 – Y1.2 – Y1.1
- Green Combo: YG8.7 – YG1.6 – YG1.4 – YG1.2
- Penguin: RK – RG7 – RG6 – RG5 – OR2.2 – O4.1 – O2.5

For the background, I used the newest Icing Rectangle Frame dies to create a frame using a brown glitter paper and I put inside a piece of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock which I previously splattered with some pearl white ink.

For the sentiment, I used one of the mini phrases included in the previous released Punny Fruit Greetings stamp and I completed it with the word hug, made with the Chloe Alphabet Dies.

I assembled all the pieces with a mix of liquid glue and foam tape, in order to create depth, and then I matted the whole scene with a sligthly larger white panel. To complete everything, I also added some clear sparkly sequins. And here's the finished result!

For my second inspiration, I went for a more "graphical" card, using the Woolly Friends stamp set. Who says sheep are only "Easter-themed"? Easter has already passed and I had to think something different.

I decided to start creating a custom "patterned" design, with a sort of no-line coloring on some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock, since my sheep are black and white. I repeatedly stamped three of the ones included in the stamp set (I chose the three who are symmetrical) using a light brown ink and then I colored all of the faces with OLO (BK- CG9 – CG7 – CG5 – CG4 – OR1.2 for the blush). As always, when I do some no-line coloring, I use coordinating pencil colors to add some details at the edges of my images. Then I used a white pencil to fill the wool and I added some white gel dots on the "fur" to create some texture. I filled the empty spaces between the sheep with some black and white dots too.
 
I then moved to the rest of the card. I knew I wanted to use this custom patterned panel create a sentiment at the right bottom corner, so I white heat embossed the "life is better" phrase on some black paper and I die cut the EWE word from black glitter cardstock using the same alphabet of the previous card.

I also die cut the largest Loopy Rectangle Frame die to add a frame on my patterned panel. While I was glueing all down, I realized I would have loved to add another single sheep next to the sentiment, so I stamped it on a white paper and I colored using the same combo, then I die cut it with the coordinating die. I assembled everything on a piece of A2 white panel and here's the finished result too!

Thanks for stopping by! I really hope you will like my projects and you will be inspired to create something! See you next time!

Inside Greetings Friends Card with Marieke

Hello all, Marieke here. I'm back again with my weekly post for Sunny Studio Stamps. Today I hope to inspire you with a card that I made using the Inside Greetings Friends Stamp.

Cut a white top fold card, cut a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch watercolor panel and ink it up using Squeezed Lemonade, Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick. Splattered some water and Picked Raspberry and die cut the Window Quad Square Dies out of the top part of the panel. Adhered the panel onto the card using foam tape. Adhered the small squares directly on the card to create some depth.

Die cut two green grass borders and added some Mowed Lawn on to them. Heat set the sentiment out of Inside Greetings Friends Stamp. Die cut the word "Friend" out of white cardstock using the Chloe Alphabet Dies and adhered all the elements onto the card.

Used Copic Colors:
Fox - E09, YR27, YR24, YR23, YR21 / N6, N4, N2 / W3, W1, W00, 0 / R22, R20, R00

Wood - E37, E35, E33, E31
Leaves - YG67, YG63, YG03

Stamped all the images out of Foxy Friends, colored them up and cut them using the matching Foxy Friends Dies. Adhered the images together and onto the card.

Have a wonderful day!

Feeling Frosty Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a clean and simple winter themed card featuring these adorable snowmen from the Feeling Frosty set. 

I stamped the background image from the Scenic Route Stamp set onto the top portion of a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I also stamped the snowmen from the Feeling Frosty Stamp set onto another piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. I used the coordinating Scenic Route Dies to die cut off the top portion of the full panel. I used the coordinating Feeling Frosty Dies to die cut the snowmen out. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Snowmen: B0000/000, Y38 YR04, R20
Pink: RV10/21/13/14
Teal: BG10/53/45
Green: YG01/03/17
White: C1
Black: T5
Trees: YG03/25/17
Shadows: C1/3

For the sentiment, I used the Chloe Alphabet Dies to die cut a set of S-N-O-W letters out of black and teal cardstock. I layered and adhered the letters slightly offset to create a slight shadow. I used a white gel pen to add some snow to the top of each letter. 

For the sub-sentiment, I used the colored snowmen and SNOW letters to roughly lay out my card front onto the colored panel. I aligned and stamped the "happy we're friends" sentiment from the Feeling Frosty stamp set directly onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered the SNOW letters onto the panel with liquid glue.

For the background, I trimmed a piece of patterned paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper Pack and adhered it to the top portion of a white A2 card base. I adhered the colored background panel to the top of the card base. I added some snow to the patterned paper with a white gel pen. Finally, I adhered the snowmen with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and are inspired to create and send a card to a friend. Be sure to check out the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!
