Designer's Choice Cards with Vanessa and Audrey

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a fun card using the cute Country Carnival set.

I die-cut the Comic Strip Speech Bubble Dies from black and white cardstock, inked the white rectangles with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink, added ink droplets and adhered the black frame and the inked pieces to the card. Now I stamped the images, colored everything with Copic markers, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered the scene to the card.

These are the sets I used today:
Country Carnival stamps + dies
Balloon Rides stamps + dies
Charming City stamps + dies
Comic Strip Speech Bubble Dies

This set is the cutest, I'd love to join the little bears! Although the tiny images made me realize how much I need glasses :)

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting!

Hello friends! Audrey here with a baby card to share with you today!  I used my favorite image from the adorable Baby Elephants for this project.  

To create my card, I started off by watercoloring a piece of watercolor paper cut to 4" by 5.25".  I used Distress inks in Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, Black Soot and Dusty Concord. Then I splattered on some gold watercolor and watered down white acrylic paint to add starts to my sky. I stamped and colored the little elephant sleeping on the moon, and die cut him with the coordinating Baby Elephants dies. The clouds are stamped from this set, and a few other Sunny Studio sets for various sizes. 

I arranged my scene and popped everything with foam tape. Before adhering anything down, I added a strip of blue striped paper from the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones paper pad.  A sentiment from the set was stamped onto a white banner and tucked under the clouds. Then, I die cut some starts from gold glitter paper using the Basic Mini Shapes II dies. The panel was popped up on an A2 card base, and I added some white gel pen accents to finish off my card.

Designer's Choice Cards with Catherine and Bobbi

Hi Friends! Its Catherine here, sharing another carnival themed card with the fun new release.

To start, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3.5” x 8.5.” I ink blended the sky with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide and sprayed some water. For the grass, I used the Slimline Nature Border to die cut three layers of grass. I ink blended each layer with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink and splattered some green watercolor onto the grass. I then attached each layer of grass with foam tape and added the adorable bears and all the fun carnival items in the Country Carnival Stamps. I colored all the items with Copic markers and cut them out with the coordinating die set, Country Carnival Dies. I also mirror image stamped some of the bears.

What’s a carnival without a balloon ride? I added the balloon and clouds from the Balloon Ride set and put one of the cute bears in the basket. 

I finished off the card with a stamped sentiment from Inside Greetings Birthday onto a banner from Banner Basics and a white heat embossed sentiment from Kiddie Pool.

Hello friends! It’s Bobbi back with a fun and fruity card for summer using one of my favorite Sunny Studio Stamps sets called Tropical Paradise Stamps. I have several nieces and nephews that are in the 25+ age range that love to have fun, fruity alcoholic summer drinks at the lake. This birthday card is very fitting for the next gen’s summer birthdays!

To create this card, I started by cutting a 5″ X 7″ front panel from 80lb Neenah Solar White cardstock. I used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor paints to splatter bright, summery colors on the background. I also added four 1/4″ strips of color at the bottom in pink, yellow, aqua and deep orange. I like the little extra color it offers this card front.

Next, I stamped in black - two pineapples, drinks, coconut drinks, and flowers - using the Tropical Paradise Stamps. Each one was colored using the following Copic colors. I also used a white gel pen for the pineapple highlights and coconut texture.

Yellows and Oranges: YR68, YR27, YR24, Y38, Y19, Y08

Reds: R27, R24, R17, R14, R22, R20
Greens: YG67, YG03, YG01, YG00
Aquas: BG10, BG11, BG23
Warm Grays (for shading): W3, W1, W0

The images were die cut and attached to the front. I used Scrapbook Adhesives to make a few of the images more dimensional such as the pineapple and one of the drinks. I added some simple shading using W3-W0 Copics below the elements to stand out a bit more. Lastly, I stamped the word "Cheers" from the set right in the center of the images.

Country Carnival Cards with Bobbi and Catherine

Hello Sunny Studio friends friends. It’s Bobbi here with a fun carnival card using the new stamp set, Country Carnival. This set is filled with all the fun a carnival offers including a merry-go-round, Ferris wheel, big tent and more.

My card measures 5″ X 7″ in size. I stamped, colored and die cut the elements from the set with the coordinating dies. I used the following Copic marker colors to color in the images:

Blues: B26, B05, B02, and B00
Reds: R89, R29, R24, R17, and R14
Yellows: Y38, Y28, Y26, Y18, Y15, and Y06
Browns: E57, E55, E43
Grays: C5, C3, C1

On the bottom half of the front panel, I added 3/4″ wide strips of blue pattern paper from the Dots and Stripes Jewel Tones paper pack and 80lb Neenah white cardstock. I alternated the pattern designs. I stamped the “Enjoy the ride” phrase on the upper white strip.

All of the colored die cut elements were attached to the card front, with some of the smaller ones trailing down towards the phrase. I used Scrapbook Adhesive foam tabs to attach the big tent, Ferris wheel, popcorn cart and ticket office for dimension. Little bears from the set were added to the carnival scene to finish the card.

Hi Friends! Catherine here today sharing a fun carnival tent card created with the adorable Country Carnival set!

To start, I cut a piece of white cardstock 6.6”W x 3.3”H. I scored vertical lines measuring from 1.65” from the left and right hand side of the cardstock. The two score lines will form the two front flaps. To make room for the triangle top, I made a vertical incision 0.3” from the top of the cardstock along each of the two score lines and trimmed horizontally across each of the front flaps.

For the top of the tent, I used a ruler and drew a triangle 4.3” W x 2”H on white cardstock and I fussy cut the triangle out. I repeated this using cardstock from Heroic Halftones Paper Pack but shortened the height of the triangle to 1.8”H in order to have a border. I die cut cardstock from Striped Silly Paper Pack using Icing Borders to make the bunting. I also used cardstock from the same paper pack to die cut the flag using the bunting piece from Wonky Windows.

I cut two rectangles 1.65”W x 3”H out of the same cardstock from Heroic Halftones Paper Pack and adhere it to the outside of the front flaps. For the tent curtains, I drew and fussy cut two triangular shapes out of the Striped Silly Paper Pack and white cardstock.

For the inside of the card, I inked the sky with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide. For the grass, I used Slimline Nature Borders and ink blended with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron. I mirror imaged stamped some of the cute bears. I colored the bears, ferris wheel, ticket booth, and popcorn cart with Copic markers from the Country Carnival Stamps and die cut using the coordinating dies, Country Carnival Dies. I added some clouds and sun from Balloon Rides, and white heat embossed the sentiments. I added a card wrap by white heat embossing balloons onto a strip of vellum 8.5”W x.9”H.

Country Carnival Cards with Alma and Gladys

Hi, Alma here and I feel so honored to join this gorgeous Sunny Studio Stamps DT for the next months. I created my first card with the brand new Country Carnival Stamps. 

I stamped the Ferris wheel, the tent and the carousel and coloured them with shades of red and brown. Then I blended the background with Distress Inks. I cut the stamps with the Country Carnival Dies and created a background with the three motifs. After that I added a vellum over the background to get a soft background. Then I used the frame of Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace.

Finally I stamped and coloured the penguins of the set Wedded Bliss and the bench of the set Spring Scene Stamps and added them in front of the card.

Hello everyone! Gladys here with a new project using brand new stamps and dies from the summer release!! There are lots of fun designs in this release perfect for summer. I know you will absolutely love them as much as I do!

For my card today I used the new stamp set called Country Carnival. It has everything you need to create a carnival theme and I can think of other stamps that will go well with this set. I started by stamping the images on 110lb cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I think it's helpful to have the coordinating dies with this set since the images are very detailed. For example the die will cut in between the spokes of the ferris wheel. Personally it looks a lot cleaner with the dies than having to fussy cut in between them.

Next I used the Slimline Scalloped Frame die to cut from Bristol smooth cardstock. I used tape to mask off along the edges then I ink blended the panel with distress oxide inks. I chose the colors picked raspberry, abandoned coral and scattered straw for my background. To add interest I used a small fan brush to add water droplets and diluted picked raspberry to add splatters. I also use the Slimline Scalloped Frame die to cut from dark gray cardstock and trimmed off the scallop edge.

I assembled my scene and used liquid glue to adhere them onto the panel. To add a little bit of dimension I used the coordinating dies to cut from white cardstock to glue behind the colored images. I think this is a good alternative if you don't want to use foam tape. Also because I didn't want to have to cut foam tapes in tiny pieces especially for the ferris wheel and balloon strings. For the sentiment I white heat embossed it on black cardstock. Finally I used glossy accents for the balloons and star dust stickles for the cotton candy, unicorns and star.  

I hope you like my carnival theme card. All of the products are now available in the shop so go check it out. I appreciate you joining me and I hope you have a wonderful day!!
