Guest Designer Spotlight: Woolly Friends Cards with June Helsen

Hello crafty friends! It's June here, and I was lucky enough to be invited to be a guest designer for the latest release, yay! Today I'll be sharing 2 cards I made using my favorite products from the new release, along with some other fun older Sunny Studio products. Let's get started!

My first card features a little scene I made using the new Woolly Friends stamps. These were so much fun to color. I loved adding a bit of texture to the sheep's wool and coloring the fence to look like wood!

I cut the largest of the Fancy Frames Oval dies and used both pieces to frame my scene. I backed my frames using a piece of cardstock on which I did some soft ink blending. I used Salvaged Patina and Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide and went in with a very light hand so the backdrop wouldn't be too distracting. I also added some ink splatters with Peacock Feathers and Rustic Wilderness.

My favorite small detail of the Woolly Friends stamps is the scripty 'ewe' that's included in the dies. I just knew I had to use it, so I picked a sentiment I could use it with. For my background, I decided to play into the sheep theme even more and use the Cable Knit embossing folder along with the Loopy Rectangle Frame. I cut both from different shades of blue cardstock and did some ink blending on the background after embossing. I also added some white ink splatters on top for some more detail.

I love how this one turned out, so for my second card, I wanted to use the same stamp set and loopy frames, but in a totally different way. This time, I combined it with the Clucky Chickens stamp set to create a farm-themed card. I kept my colors very neutral and warm-toned, so it gives it a bit of a vintage look. 

I kept my background very plain and simple this time. Just some light-handed ink blending using Antique Linen and Tea Dye Distress Oxide, and some ink splatters using Vintage Photo. I cut my frame from brown cardstock, matching the images I colored and my splatters. I used a different sentiment this time, but also used the scripty 'ewe' of course! 

And those are my 2 cards as a guest designer! I had such a fun time making these cards and playing around with some of the new products. I wish you all a very creative weekend.

Clucky Chickens Farm Card with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share an everyday card featuring our Clucky Chickens Stamps.

For my card, I started by coloring the background border with the rolling hills with the fir trees from our Scenic Route Stamps. I then layered another hillside cut from white cardstock using our Slimline Nature Border Dies which I inked up with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn distress inks, tucking a couple extra trees on the right side to balance my scene. I then added the blue sunburst print from our Spring Sunburst Paper pack and stamped the punny sentiment "I get by with a little help from my hens" from our Farm Fresh Stamps.

As I added each layer to my scene, I "trimmed" it down by die-cutting the layer with our Stitched Rectangle Dies, so when they were all layered together, they would have one cohesive stitched frame. I then populated the foreground of my scene with the hen house, box of hay, chickens, and chicks from our adorable Clucky Chickens Stamps. I love how this farm scene came together with all the different layered elements, many of which I must admit were already stamped years ago and just waiting to be used on a card--That always makes me feel so good to put them to good use!

That wraps up my project for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today.😊
