Eggs To Dye For & Layered Basket Cards with Leanne West

Hello Sunny Studio fans! Leanne here and I'm so happy to be back for a guest post today. After our long, cold mid-west winter, it was so refreshing to play with some fun spring stamps and pretty pastel colors. I have made a set of three spring cards to share. I always enjoy playing with Sunny Studio layered stamp sets. There's something so satisfying about about seeing the image come to life with each added layer. 

For my cards, I have used the Layered Basket and Eggs To Dye For sets to create my cute focal images. First I needed to decide on a background. I wanted something to add interest without taking away from the basket and eggs. I went with a die cut layered background that's super easy to create. I used the Frilly Frames Stripes die. I die cut the frame from white card stock and then backed it with pastel card stock in a color that would coordinate with the image colors. I then adhered the completed backgrounds to a white A2 sized card base.  

Next I stamped out all the images. Since these are all layered images, I made sure each stamped layer was dry before I added the next. I think this is the most important thing you can do to ensure clean and crisp images. I use my heat gun to speed dry each layer because I'm impatient. I used Altenew ink cube sets for the baskets and eggs: Shades of Purple, Golden Sunset, Red Sunset, & Sea Shore.

After die cutting the images, I added them to the center of the background with adhesive foam squares. The little grass border tucked into the basket is a die from the Sunny Sentiment die set. 

For the greeting, I die cut the word spring. This die is included with the Layered Basket die set. I stamped the word happy and simply trimmed it down into a small strip. When I added the egg basket, I made sure to leave enough room above it for the greeting. To complete the design, I added some extra embellishments. It just so happened that I had some grosgrain ribbon in colors that matched the baskets. I tied a little bow and added one to each basket with a glue dot. Lastly, I adhered some iridescent sequins for a little bit of sparkle.  

Thanks so much for joining me today. I'll be back in April with some fun project inspiration with Sunny Studio's summer release. Happy crafting!

Eggs To Dye For Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a spring card using Eggs To Dye For. This fun set is too cute!

I started with a panel of white cardstock and applied stripes with an ink blending tool, using Wilted Violet, Carved Pumpkin and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks. Then I die-cut the grass from light green paper, adhered it to the panel and die-cut the circle from it. Now I adhered the panel to the card base, and added the circle with foam tape. 

Supplies used:
Eggs To Dye For stamps (eggs, bunny)
Lovable Llama stamps (bow)
Layered Basket Dies (spring word)
Slimline Nature Borders Dies (grass border)
Stitched Circle Large Dies (circle)
Birthday Cake Dot Sprinkles
Rainbow Dot Confetti

I stamped the images onto white cardstock, colored them with Copic markers, fussy-cut the pieces and adhered the elements to the card. Now I die-cut the "Spring" and adhered it to the card, then finished it off with matching confetti.

Time for spring! I hope you are enjoying sunshine in your part of the world! Thanks for stopping by!

Hi everyone, Anja here and today I'm sharing another Easter card made with the Eggs To Dye For Stamps. This time I used the sweet bunny and chick included in the set and created a Spring wreath out of die-cuts.

I started off with a light pink top-folding card base. Next, I ran a white cardstock panel through my die cutting machine with the Dapper Diamonds Embossing Folder.

I stamped the critters in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a white cardstock circle and I heat embossed it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder.

For the wreath, I cut the loopy Snowflake Circle Frame Die from Kraft cardstock. The flowers and leaves dies are from the Botanical Backdrop Die set and I cut them from several cardstock scraps. Finally, I assembled my card and adhered three pink clay hearts.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a beautiful day!
