Roly Poly Penguins Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with this fun holiday card featuring the cute Roly Poly Penguins in a red, black and white color palette. How nice it was to color those sweet penguins again!

I started off by cutting a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel out of a Joyful Holiday snowflake pattern paper, I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters all over my panel, and I did the same with liquid stardust for sparkles. Next I cut a Comic Strip Speech Bubble frame out of an All Is Bright red & white stripe pattern paper, and attached it to my snowflake panel using 1mm foam squares. I cut another Comic Strip Speech Bubble panel out of white cardstock, kept three of the inside pieces, turned them into snow borders using a Ribbon & Lace Borders die, added sparkling splatters to those pieces, and then stuck them to my panel using 1mm foam squares again.

On the top right hand square section, I stamped "It's penguining to look a lot like Christmas" from Penguin Pals. First, I white heat embossed "penguining" in the center of the square, and then stamped "it's" and "to look a lot like Christmas" in black. Next I stamped my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers. The penguins are from Roly Poly Penguins, and the snowflakes are from Holiday Hugs.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, attached everything to my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and finally stuck my panel to a white card base. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this bright and cheerful card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week.

Bear Hugs Stamps & Holiday Express Stamps Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some Christmas cards featuring our Bear Hugs Stamps and Holiday Express Stamps.

For my first card today, I used all the cute polar bears from the Bear Hugs Stamps with the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Die to frame each miniature scene using the set's tree, ice block, balloon, and candy cane. I inked up behind the frame using a light touch of Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink and then cut out stitched snowy slopes using the Slimline Nature Border Dies. Finally, I stamped a punny greeting using VersaFine Onyx Black ink from the set. I really loved how clean and fresh this turned out with the simple red, white, and blue color scheme, so I thought it would be fun to challenge myself to design both cards today using that limited color palette.

My second card features the adorable train, critters, decorations, and gifts from the Holiday Express Stamps. To help make my train feel extra festive, I added peppermint candies to the wheels of the locomotive and train cars using images from the Candy Shoppe Stamps and Baking Spirits Bright Stamps. For the backdrop behind my Christmas train, I taped two of the three 6" borders from the Forest Trees Stencils together and inked up one continuous line of trees with Salty Ocean Distress ink. Above the trees, I added a cloud border using the Slimline Nature Border Dies cut from masking material and inked with Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink. Lastly, I combined several mix-and-match greetings from the Holiday Express stamps to create one long, continuous sentiment to span the length of my 8" wide card.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Roly Poly Penguins Card with Amanda

Hey friends and Happy Tuesday! Amanda here! I hope your week is off to an amazing start! I’m so glad you’re here with me on the Sunny Studio blog today for a little crafty inspiration! The card I’m sharing today is MERRY and BRIGHT—full of festive fun with pink and green pops of color!

To create the frame, I used the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies. On each of the cutouts, I ink-blended some Catherine Pooler inks in Melon Ice, Garden Party, It’s a Girl, and Party Dress. I spritzed the backgrounds with water for a subtle splatter effect, then added some black splatter using watered-down black acrylic paint and a paintbrush.

I placed the frame on a plain white card base and held it in place with magnets on my magnetic craft mat. Using the frame as a guide, I adhered each of the ink-blended rectangles. Next, I added white foam strips to the back of the frame and popped it onto the card front.

My chubby little penguins and their accessories were stamped from the Roly Poly Penguins Stamps. After stamping, I colored them with Copic markers and cut them using the coordinating dies.

With some foam squares added to the back, I arranged the penguins onto the card. For the sentiment, I used the “merry & BRIGHT” stamp from the Build-a-Greetings Holiday Stamps, stamping it in crisp black ink. The finishing touch was a sprinkle of Party Confetti across the card for a little extra festive sparkle!

I love the layers, texture, and cheerful colors in this card, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Harvest Mice Card with Amanda

Hey, hey crafty friends, Amanda here! Are you dreaming of cooler fall weather?! Fall has been on my mind and I can’t stop making Fall cards! Today, I’m sharing this fun card I made for you using the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies frame that was leftover from my card I shared last week.  

To create this card, I gathered an A2 card base and the Critter Country Paper. I choose a piece of paper that looked like a background for my scene. I trimmed the background paper down to 4.25”x5.5” and glued it to my card base. Then, I glued the frame to that, as well.

Next, I stamped out some of the images from the Harvest Mice and Fall Scenes stamps. I stamped extra rakes and leaves from the Fall Scenes stamps so each mouse would have a rake and there’d be plenty of leaves to rake!

I colored the images with Copic markers. Here are the colors I used:

Leaves: YR15, YR21, Y02, Y35, YR04, YR07, E30, E35, E37, E43, E44, E47, R56, R59, E04
Left mouse: W00, W1, W3, W5, W7, W9, R81, R85
Middle Mouse: E70, E71, E74, E77, E79, R81, R85, B00, B02, B05
Right Mouse: T0, T2, T4, T6, T7, R81, R83, R85

After coloring them, I added some dots and highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen. For my sentiment, I stamped the word “mice” first in Catherine Pooler Mandarin Spice ink. Then, I added the words to either side and stamped them with black ink. I used a paper trimmer to trim the sentiment down into a strip. For the banner edge, I used the tip of my scissors.

Now the fun part! Adding all the images and sentiment to the scene! I used 3D foam squares behind all the images and sentiment and then assembled them onto the card!   

I love how this little scene turned out! The little sweater is just TOO cute on that little mouse! 
I hope you are feeling inspired to go make something!! See you back here next week!

Fall Friends Card with Amanda

Hey there, Sunny Studio Stamps fans! Welcome to the blog! It’s Amanda here with you today and I’m getting ready for Fall! So I’ve made this super cute Fall card to share with you!

This card features the stamp set called Fall Friends! I love these images so much that I couldn’t decide which ones to put on the card! So, I created a layout that would let me put almost all the images on one card!

I created my background with the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies. I die-cut just the frame from this set with white cardstock. On the inner rectangles, I inked blended some Catherine Pooler inks with a blending brush. I used Cashmere for the top two rectangles and Succulent for the bottom ones. After I was finished blending them, I spritzed them with a spray bottle filled with water. 

On my magnetic craft mat, I laid my A2 card base down. Next, I secured the frame down onto my card base with magnets. This allows me to use the frame as a guide for placing my rectangles perfectly. I added some liquid glue to the backs of my rectangles and placed them onto the card base.

Next, I stamped all my critters and images on a piece of white cardstock with black ink. I colored all the images in with Copic markers, focusing on muted Autumn colors. I added some highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen. Then, I die-cut all the images out with the coordinating die set. I used low-tack tape to keep the dies in place while running them through my die-cutting machine.

I arranged all the images on my card where I think I wanted them to go, starting with the largest images first. As I was making my layout, I grabbed the sentiment from the stamp set and placed the words in the upper right corner, arranging the images around it. I took a photo of the card layout so I wouldn't forget how I liked it!  

Then, I moved all the images to the side, leaving my sentiment in place. I put the card base into my MISTI and stamped my sentiment with black ink. Finally, I placed 3D foam squares behind all the images and adhered them to the card! All finished! Don't you just want to squeeze all those little critters?!  

I hope you find some time to get crafty today and that this card inspires you! See you back here next week!
