Balloon Alphabet Card with Nicky

Hello everyone, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I'm sharing a card featuring the fun Balloon Alphabet stamps and dies. Read on for all the details!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Balloon Alphabet Love Themed Card by Nicky Meeks (featuring Bursting Hearts Dies, Party Pets, Cat Antics)

I die cut a white panel of cardstock using the Bursting Hearts Die. I glued this to a pale pink panel of cardstock and framed it out in white. This frame was made using the Comic Strip Everyday Die but I snipped out the dividing sections in the centre. This was all glued to a card base and set to one side.

I stamped the word LOVE using the Balloon Alphabet stamp and Cherry Kisses ink by The Stamp Market. I die cut the letters and backed them with foam tape. I stamped the kittens, 2 are from Cat Antics and one from Party Pets and I coloured this with Copic markers C3, C1, C0, C00, R22, R21, R20, R00. I highlighted with a white gel pen and die cut the images using their coordinating dies and backed these with foam tape too.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a black sentiment strip and backed this with foam tape. The word 'you' was taken from the Happy Thoughts Stamp set and the pretty font matches with the 'furever' word.

I then set about assembling all the foam backed elements and glued the balloon strings in place. To embellish the card I die cut some hearts using some of the pink cardstock and some glittering silver cardstock too and nestled these in position in random places and a few sparkling clear sequins in different sizes completed the scene.

Thank you for visiting the blog today, I hope you have a lovely and crafty weekend!

Cat Antics Card with Nicky

Hello there, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I have a new card for you that features the Cat Antics stamp set which is purrfect for all you cat lovers out there. Please read on for the details.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Cat Antics Everyday Card by Nicky Meeks (featuring Background Basics 2, Comic Strip Everyday Dies)

To create this card I started by die cutting some pink cardstock using the Comic Strip Everyday Die and then I snipped out the vertical  joins within the windows, leaving me with 3 mini scenes to fill which are the perfect size for this and many other Sunny stamp sets!

I used the Background Basics 2 stamp together with Cotton Candy ink by The Stamp Market to stamp the patterned background on an A2 panel of white cardstock. I then backed the pink frame with dimensional foam tape and attached it to the patterned background which in turn I glued to my card base.

Using Tuxedo Black in by Memento, I stamped all of the images from Cat Antics. I die cut the images using the coordinating die and then I coloured the images with the following Copic markers:

Silver Cats - C3, C1, C0
Ginger Cats - E33, E11, R00
Beige Cats - E31, E41, W3, W1, W0
Blushes - R22, R20, R00
Mint - G00, G000, C3, C1, C00

I arranged and backed the images with dimensional foam tape and adhered them to the background.

To complete the card, a few points were highlighted with a white gel pen.  I also stamped the sentiment from a choice included in the stamp set and attached these strips with foam tape and the final embellishment was the addition of dots of Nuvo Vintage Drops in 'Peppermint Candy'.

I very much appreciate you coming by to read about this card, I hope you have enjoyed it and I will see you back here next Friday with something brand new. Happy cardmaking!

Party Pets Card with Nicky

Well hello there friends, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio blog and I'm sharing a birthday card with you that features the Party Pets stamp set. Please read on for the details and links.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Party Pets Birthday Card by Nicky Meeks (featuring Comic Strip Everyday Dies)

To kick things off I took a white A2 panel of cardstock and die cut using the Comic Strip Everyday Die. I already had one of these die cut and so just with the main frame I now had two and I adhered them together then to the card base. I used the grass strip to die cut the negative cuts and I ink blended the sky and grass and recessed the pieces back through the openings, glueing in place as I went.

I added a few die cut clouds and then I stamped the images from Party Pets using black ink and coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:

Clockwise from the top left:
Dog - w6, W5, W3, E42, E41
Cat/Cake - T4, T3, T2, T0, E44, E43, E41, C3, C1, C0, R39, R29, R24
Cat - E31, C3, C1
Cat - E74, E71, E41, E40
Dog - N4, N3, N1, N0
Balloon - YR09, YR07, YR04
Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

Images were highlighted, and then die cut with the coordinating dies and backed with foam tape and applied to each little background scene.

To complete the card I just needed to take care of the sentiment which I stamped and heat embossed in a pretty blue, then die cut and applied with more foam tape to the window opening left blank for this purpose.

Thank you, I appreciate you stopping by Sunny's blog today to read and I will see you back here hopefully next Friday with something brand new. Happy crafting!

Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Die Focused Tags with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back on the blog with this trio of shaker tags showcasing multiple die sets, including the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-On that I used on its own to create three mini scenes in jars.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Distinctive Door Holiday Add-On Die Focused Holiday Tags by Marine Simon (featuring Comic Strip Everyday Dies, Stitched Arch Dies, Brilliant Banner Dies, Ribbon & Lace Border Dies)

I started off by cutting all the pieces to build the backgrounds, and each background was built following the same steps:

1. Cut a Stitched Arch panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and divide it in half. On the lower part, blend some tumbled glass and broken china oxide inks using a hill stencil to create a snow border. And on the upper part, blend some broken china, uncharted mariner and chipped sapphire oxide inks to create a night sky.

2. Mix some tumbled glass oxide ink with water, and add splatters to the snow border using a slim brush. Splatter water droplets on the sky, and dry them using a paper towel. Mix some chipped sapphire oxide ink with water, and add splatters to the sky. Mix some copic opaque white ink with water, and add more splatters all over the Stitched Arch panel, and then do the same with liquid stardust. Cut a small hole at the top of this panel.

3. Cut another Stitched Arch panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, cut the bottom using a wavy die, and add the same inks and same textures as before to create a slim snow border.

4. Cut another Stitched Arch panel out of a Holiday Cheer snowflake pattern paper, and use a Ribbon & Lace Border die to cut the top of the panel. Add some uncharted mariner and chipped sapphire oxide inks on the edges, and add splatters of copic opaque white ink. Cut a small hole at the top of this panel.

I set all those elements aside to dry, and then cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock. I used distress inks to add shadows and more depth to each element, and also splattered white ink to give the illusion of snow or frost on all the pieces. Here is a detailed list of the die sets I used: • Distinctive Door Holiday Add-On - trees, strings of lights, bows, piles of snow • Window Quad Circle - poinsettias • Rustic Winter - deer • Comic Strip Everyday - car, house.

I assembled a few of the pieces to build the car, house, poinsettias, etc. and then created the jars using Summer Jar Mug dies. And once again, each jar was built following the same steps:

1. Cut a jar frame out of holographic cardstock and cut the handle off.

2. Cut a whole jar out of acetate, and stick it at the back of the jar frame using liquid glue.

3. Still at the back of the frame, add foam strips all around the jar, following the curved edges.

4. Cut another whole jar out of vellum, and attach trees and a main focal object (house, car or deer) using liquid glue.

5. Sprinkle a few White Snowflake confetti on the die-cut pieces.

6. Peel the backing papers off the foam strips at the back of the jar frame, and attach the jar frame to the vellum frame to close the jar.

7. Cut another jar out of light brown woodgrain cardstock, trim the lid off and add some vintage photo distress ink on the edges to darken it, add copic opaque white ink splatters, and stick the lid to the holographic shaker jar.

8. Glue a pile of snow on one side of the jar using liquid glue.

9. Tie some golden thread around the lid.

Next I cut three different banners out of dark blue cardstock using Brilliant Banner 1Brilliant Banner 2 and Brilliant Banner 3, and silver heat embossed a greeting on each banner. "Sweet" is from Christmas Cookie, "Have a... holiday season" is from Santa Claus Lane, and the whole thing reads "Have a sweet holiday season". To make those banners pop on the tag, I used the same dies to cut the banners a second time out of holographic cardstock, and I layered each banner with its twin using 1mm foam squares.

Next I finally assembled and attached everything on my Stitched Arch panels. I first glued the jar using liquid glue, and then the slim snowy hill using 2mm foam squares. I attached the straight string of lights at the back of the topper element using liquid glue, and then stuck the topper piece using 1mm foam squares. Attached a banner between the jar and string of lights, added a poinsettia and a Christmas tree, cut one last Stitched Arch panel out of white cardstock, cut a hole at the top of this panel, attached it at the back of the tag to finish it nicely, and cut a white eyelet using a Mini Mat & Tag 4 die that I glued at the top of the tag.

For the last details, I glued a white pearl in the middle of each poinsettia, a tiny confetti star at the top of each Christmas tree, applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the lights, tied a double bow that I attached below each eyelet, and finally added a handle using some slim silver ribbon from my stash.

And that's it! I went a little bit crazy to build those shaker tags, and they took me longer than the standard type of card I usually make, but sometimes I like to throw myself into more complicated projects! If you ever wanted to recreate those tags, my advice would be to die cut all the pieces first, then do all the inking, next the jar, and finally all the assembly. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!
