Pink Peonies Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm happy to be back with this lovely mix & match of new and less new items. It's always nice to use our older sets and pair them with new images to give them some love.

I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them using the coordinating dies and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers. I've only used two stamp sets on this card: Pink Peonies for the flowers and leaves, and Foxy Friends for the foxes, watering can and birds. And once everything was colored, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth, and used the Buffalo Plaid Straight die to add texture to my panel. I wanted my panel to match with the Pink Peonies, so I covered it with spun sugar oxide ink first, and then added a gingham pattern using the Straight Stripes stencil along with worn lipstick oxide ink. I splattered water all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some worn lipstick distress spritz with water and added more splatters to my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink and with festive berries oxide ink. Next I cut a Frilly Frame Lattice panel out of white cardstock, attached it to my Buffalo Plaid Straight panel using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

For the greeting, I started off by cutting both pieces of my Brilliant Banner 3 out of vellum, white heat embossed "Thinking of you" from Watering Can on the main vellum piece, attached that main vellum piece to the back element using liquid glue, and then attached the banner to my panel using clear foam squares. I finally glued some clear droplets here and there to bring some shine to the card, and that's it! 

I hope that this card has inspired you to shop your old stash and mix your products with new ones. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencil Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this holiday card featuring the mouse family again. This time, they're back for a Christmas adventure, whether they're busy decorating the tree, or enjoying some quiet time by the fireplace, or delivering presents larger than the chimney pipe! I love how this slimline card turned out, and how we get three mini scenes on one single card.

As very often, I started off by stamping all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Cozy Christmas - armchairs, Christmas tree, cushions, lamp, glass of milk, presents • Santa Claus Lane - fireplace, chimney, stockings, sleigh, presents, baubles • Christmas Critters - mouse, reindeer antlers • Lazy Christmas - large presents • Merry Mice - mice, hat • Beach Bus - mouse • North Pole - cookie plate, presents • Harvest Mice - mouse.

Next I cut an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I divided in different sections, from bottom to top: floor, wallpaper, roof and sky. I started off with the floor, and created a base first using antique linen oxide ink. And to make a parquet floor, I used the Straight Stripes stencil along with vintage photo oxide ink to create a wood plank pattern. For the wallpaper, I did a base first using saltwater taffy oxide ink, and I used the Diagonal Stripes stencil along with worn lipstick oxide ink to add a nice pattern to my wall. I kept the roof simple, and did a 1/4" separation stripe using hickory smoke and black soot oxide inks. And finally I did the sky using salty ocean, prize ribbon and black soot oxide inks.

As always, I added texture to my background. I mixed some vintage photo oxide ink with water, and added splatters to the parquet floor. Mixed some worn lipstick oxide ink with water, and added splatters to the wall. Splattered water on the sky and dried the paper with a paper towel. Mixed some chipped sapphire oxide ink with water, added more splatters to the sky, and did the same with liquid stardust. Finally, I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water, and added white splatters all over the panel.

Once the panel was dry, I white heat embossed "Merry Christmouse" from Merry Mice at the very bottom, and attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Added highlights and details to the images using a white gelly roll pen, a dot of glossy accents on the berries on the wall and lights in the tree, and to make the snow on the chimney sparkle, I added liquid glue, sprinkled fine glitter on the glue, let it dry and removed the excess of glitter with a fluffy brush.

And that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Buffalo Plaid Die Focused Card with Nicky

Well hello again, this is Nicky with you once more on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I've a new Winter/Christmas card to share with you featuring the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Dies.

I started this card by creating all of the mats which create a sense of drama and guides the eye into the main focal point. I used the Stitched Rectangle Die to create the white mat over which I added a white glitter panel then a red panel that I just cut using my paper trimmer.  

Next I used the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die to die cut a white panel of cardstock and I used the diagonal stencil from the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils set to ink blend using Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink in one direction and then Festive Berries in the other. I used a smaller Stitched Rectangle Die from the set to die cut that panel down to size and glued it to the other mats which were in turn adhered to an A2 card base.

I used the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Die to create the focal panel. I used a little bit of Festive Berries ink left on my brush to make a warm touch of ink blending to go behind the snowman.  I backed this panel with dimensional tape and applied it to the background.

I stamped one of the snowmen from Snowman Kisses using black ink and coloured it with Copic markers. Snowman - C3, C1, RV10, RV0000.  Red - R59, R29, R27. Grey - W9, W6, W3.  Nose - YR09, YR04.  Blush - R22, R21, R20, R00.  The image was die cut using the coordinating dies and added with foam tape.

I added a few snowflakes with glue and dotted in some snow with a stylus and white acrylic paint and floated a little red heart above the snowman. I added tiny jewels to the centre of each snowflake and stamped the sentiment on a sentiment strip and applied with foam tape. Last but not least, I grabbed my trusty white gel pen and highlighted points on the cute snowman images and polka dotted his scarf and with that this card was finished.

Thank you for coming by to read about it today. I'll see you same time, same place next Friday. Happy crafting!

Diagonal Stripes Stencil Focused Card with Leanne

Hello there! Leanne here and I'm sharing a playful holiday card featuring a stenciled plaid frame with a few of the Roly Poly Penguins peeking out. I created the plaid pattern for the frame with a stencil. The Diagonal & Straight Stripes stencil is a set of two, which includes the Straight Stripes and Diagonal Stripes. I used the Diagonal Stripes stencil for this card. 

Here are the Sunny Studio Supplies I used to create this card:

Diagonal Stripes Stencil - To create a plaid pattern, I stenciled the stripes with light green ink onto an A2 size white card stock panel. I then turned the stencil so the stripes were going in the opposite direction and stenciled the panel again with the same green ink. After stenciling, I sprayed the panel with Cracked Pistachio Distress Spritz which gives it a speckled, shimmery finish. 

Stitched Ovals dies - I used the second largest die in the set to create the window in the plaid panel. 

Roly Poly Penguins stamp set and coordinating dies - For the penguin and candy cane images. 

Season's Greetings stamp set and coordinating dies - For the pine sprig and berry images.

Inside Greetings Seasons stamp set - For the stamped sentiment.

Snowflake Circle Frame dies - For the little snowflake and star embellishments. 

Copic colors used to color the penguins and their accessories: black & shading on white areas - N0, N2, N4, N6, N8; orange - YR12, YR16; red & pink - R00, R20, R21, R22, R34, R27; green - G20, G24, G28

I started this design with a white A2 card base. In the center of the card front, I applied the same light green ink I used for the stenciling. I then adhered the plaid frame with thin foam tape so it would be popped up. I tucked the penguins slightly under the frame edge so they would look to be peeking out. I left an open space to stamp the sentiment directly onto the background. I added the pine, berries, and snowflake to finish.
