Cherry Blossoms & Dotted Diamond Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some floral cards for Spring using our Cherry Blossoms Stamps and the two variations of our Dotted Diamond Dies.

For my first card of the day I have a soft and pretty sympathy card using the Cherry Blossoms Stamps with the tree branch from our Out on a Limb Dies. For my background, I inked up my cardstock panel with Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, and a light hand of Prize Ribbon Distress inks. I then die-cut / embossed the background with our Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. I inked up another small piece of cardstock with a similar blend of inks, which I die-cut using our Rounded Rectangle Window Dies. I shorted the rectangle by running it through my die-cutting machine again to better fit my sentiment from our Inside Greetings Sympathy Stamps. Lastly, I added a sprinkling of Majestic Clear Confetti adhered with Ranger's Multi Medium Matte.

Next up is a more vibrant take on the Cherry Blossoms Stamps. I paired them with a dramatic navy blue cardstock, which I had die-cut using our Dotted Diamond Landscape Die. For my focal point birthday greeting, I heat embossed the words "Happy Birthday" using our Big Bold Greetings Stamps and die-cut a navy frame around it using our Limitless Labels 1 Die, which I popped up with black foam tape to help it stand out. As a finishing touch, I added a few scattered Midnight Blue Crystals for some subtle sparkle. I love the tone-on-tone look with the different textures!

I am frequently asked which ink colors I used for my layered images. While I think there are so many great options out there, these are the colors I used today for my stamped images from light to dark:

Flower Blossoms
PinkFresh Ballet Slipper
Hero Arts Soft Pink

Background Basics 2 Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a sweet Easter card featuring the Background Basics 2 stamps, more specifically the large diagonal grid.

I selected a white card base and cut a rectangle background panel from white paper with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Stripes die. I love the scalloped edge, but to enhance this piece even more I added an ‘embossed look’ with the Dotted Diamond Portrait die. Next, I simply glued this panel to the card base as my first layer.

The adorable Big Bunny is going to be my main focal point of this card and I discovered that she fits perfectly inside the largest of the Stitched Ovals. This pieces was then decorated with the big grid from Background Basics 2 stamps and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide. I deliberately kept some areas of the stamping lighter or even white.

For extra detail I glued this panel to a white Scalloped Oval Mat 1 piece and added the whole to the card with liquid glue. For the star of the show (the cutie from Big Bunny), the bouquet and the bow, I selected Copic markers in fun Spring colors matching the blue of my grid background. The combined sentiment is from the same set and stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

To put the scene together, I cut a white strip with one of the Slimline Basic Borders and the largest of the Stitched Ovals to give this piece it’s rounded edges. I glued this piece in place and added the bunny with the bow and tulips. Lastly, I placed the sentiment on the bottom of the oval shape. As a final embellishment, I added a few Gold Jewels. 

I hope you will enjoy these fun background stamps as much as I did! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Rounded Rectangle Mat Die Focused Card with Amanda

Hey crafty friends, Amanda here! I’m glad you’re here today with me on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog! Today I’m sharing a sweet little Hello card!  

I was playing around with the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies and thought it would be cool to create a little background that’s 3 separate rectangles. I used the 3rd smallest of the 8 nested rectangles.

First, I stamped the Tulip Path Background Stamp with black ink. Then I die cut the 3 rectangles out of my stamped image. I also stamped the bunny and Hello sentiment from the Tulip Path Background Stamp.

I colored the rectangles and bunny with Copic markers. I die cut the bunny and sentiment with the coordinating die set.

Bunny: E51, E53, E55, E57, W7, R00, R20, R22
Trees: BG90, BG93, BG96, BG99 | YG93, YG95, YG97 | E71, E74, E79 | G94, G99
Windmill: Y32, Y35, E30, E31, E33, E35, E70, E71
Flowers: G43, G36, Y21, Y35
Grass: YG61, YG63, G40
Path: E40, E41, E42, E43, W0, W2, W4, W6
Mountains: G20

I ran a piece of brown cardstock trimmed to 3” x 5.5” through my die cutting machine with the Dotted Diamond Landscape Die. I glued this to the center of my A2 card base. I put foam tape behind each of my rectangles and adhered them to the card. I applied 3D foam squares to the bunny and sentiment and then adhered them to the card as well.

I love the neutral, calming colors of this card. And that little bunny is just too cute! Thanks for coming to the blog today and hanging out with me! I hope you find some crafty time today!

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today. I'm so excited to share some inspirations for the new Spring Release. Today I am showcasing the new Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies. 

There are two sets of dies, Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies and Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies, that just came out. Both sets will die cut a set of three hearts with a beautiful faux stitching on the inside and outside of the cutting line. Both have fun extra dies that come along with them. These were so much fun to play with that I have created two Valentine's Day cards to share with you today. So let's get started. 

For my first card, I have a clean and simple faux shaker style card to share with you. I used the Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies to die cut the windows into a piece of white cardstock (4" x 5.5"). I stamped the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment from the new Foxy Friends Stamps set directly onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

Next, I stamped the penguin from the Passionate Penguins Stamps set and the heart balloons from the new Party Pets Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Passionate Penguins Dies and Party Pets Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7, W0/1, Y38 YR04, R30
Balloons: RV52/55/06/17

I adhered the penguin and balloons onto the white panel. Then added some foam tape to the back side of the panel before adhering it to a piece of patterned paper ( 4.25" x 5.5") from the Polka Dot Parade Paper Pack. I adhered the panel to a white card base (4.25" x 5.5") and finished the card with a few clear confetti sequins. 

For my second card, I decided to use the leftover hearts from the cards that I have created with these Window Trio Heart Dies as well as play with all of the fun bonus dies that come with both of these dies. I die cut all of the bonus dies from the Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies and Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies out of white, red, brown and gold cardstock. I adhered them together as shown in the pictures. 

For my layout, I used the Frilly Frames Polka Dot Dies to die cut a panel out of white cardstock. I took two pieces of pink cardstock. I used the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die to create the diamond pattern on one of the two pink pieces before using the medium sized die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies to trim the panel down to fit inside the white panel. I adhered the smaller pink panel onto the white panel and then onto the solid pink panel. I added my leftover white hearts, then adhered the bon bons and hearts with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. 

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner 1 Die to die cut a banner out of red cardstock. I stamped one of the sentiments from the new Foxy Friends Stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto the banner and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I assembled the banner die, added a couple of hearts from the center of the bonus key die from the Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies and adhered the banner to the panel with foam tape. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white card base (4.25" x 5.5").

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my cards. Be sure to check out the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.
