Birthday Mouse Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun birthday card featuring images from the Harvest Mice and Birthday Mouse sets. I just love these adorable mice.

I started by creating the background and using the Moroccan Circles Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of pink cardstock. I trimmed a slim edge off the panel and adhered it to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5"). Next, I used the second smallest die from the Scalloped Square 1 Small Dies to die-cut two squares out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I lightly colored the upper part of the sky with Copic markers. I added a piece of craft foam to the backside of the squares before adhering them to the pink panel.

I stamped the mice from the Harvest Mice Stamps and Birthday Mouse Stamps, the cheese from the Merry Mice Stamps, and the hats from the Party Pets Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Harvest Mice Dies, Birthday Mouse Dies, Merry Mice Dies and Party Pets Dies to die-cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Mice: E50/51/53/33/35, R000/20
Hats: RV13
Cheese: Y13/15, RV10/13/14
Balloons: YG00/01/03/17, RV000/10//21/13/14, Y11/13/15
Bicycle: RV13, C1, W5
Sky: RV1000/10
Banner: YG01/03/17

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner 3 Die to die-cut a banner from Neenah Solar white cardstock. I colored the banner with Copic markers. I stamped the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Inside Greetings: Birthday Stamps directly onto the banner with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I highlighted it with a white gel pen. The colored images and sentiment were adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.

Sunflower Fields Fall Card Set with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some floral cards for Autumn using our beautiful Sunflower Fields Stamps.

First, I have a card with a wood embossed background using our Woodgrain Embossing Folder. I started by running the folder through my die-cutting machine with a piece of aqua-blue cardstock, and then I ran over the surface with two different distress crayons and used a damp cloth to blend them and buff out the waxy spots. These crayons came from Ranger's holiday sets #4 and #5 in Shiny Bauble and Juniper Berry, so they were special seasonal pearlescent colors with flecks of sparkly mica that give my background a beautiful glimmer in person. I used the layered images from our Sunflower Fields Stamps for the focal point for flowers and bees. I completed my card by stamping the word "hi" from our Hawaiian Hibiscus Stamps on a small tag from our Window Quad Square Dies, cutting off its top to make it look like a stitched pennant strip.

For my second card featuring the Sunflower Fields Stamps, I created a floral bouquet, adding another tag from the Window Quad Square Dies cut from kraft cardstock and stamped with the phrase "many thanks" from the same stamp set. For my background, I stamped the tone-on-tone diagonal mesh print from our Background Basics 2 Stamps, trimming off about 1/8" along the bottom so my white card base could peek out and provide a bit of contrast, visual interest, and balance with the top-heavy feeling of my flower bouquet. Lastly, I added a jute cording bow on the top of my tag to make it look tied around the bouquet.

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 sunflowers from light to dark:

Sunflower Petals
PinkFresh Lemon Whip
PinkFresh Sunshine

PinkFresh Sweet Mustard 

PinkFresh Marigold

Sunflower Seeds Center
PinkFresh Doe
Versafine Clair Acorn

Leaves 

PinkFresh Grassy Knoll
PinkFresh Key Lime
PinkFresh Studio Olive
PinkFresh Studio Evergreen

That wraps up my projects for today. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today.💛

A Cut Above Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here with a cute ‘school themed’ card using the fun A Cut Above layering stamp and die set.

As usual, I started with a white card base but this time I added extra texture to the front part by dry embossing with the Dapper Diamonds folder. Next, I cut a panel from an adorable ‘heart’ paper (Subtle Grey Tones) with the largest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 dies. I knew I wanted to use bright colors for my pencils and this neutral paper is the perfect background.

After selecting several ink pads from my stash, I started the layering stamping for the fun pencil. A great tip here is to use the black pictures on your packaging to position the stamps. You get a much better view of how to add the next layer. With so much colors on this card, I selected three cute panda bears (Panda Party) and colored them with my Copic markers.

My combined sentiment was taken from the Balloon Rides set and I masked of a part of the saying with post-it tape so it reads ‘Just a note’ now (Versafine Onyx Black ink).

To assemble the card, I glued the oval panel to the embossed card base with liquid glue. Then I added one pencil vertical, so I had a place for the bears to sit and stand. The other four pencils were added with foam tape following rainbow order. My little sentiment banner was centered on top of these pencils. Then I concluded that the card was cute, but it was missing ‘something’!

I browsed through my dies and found a small streamer die (Crepe Paper Streamer dies) which was the perfect filler. I die cut several pieces and cut them to size before gluing them on the grey oval. I added a few White Diamond jewels as a final embellishment.

I can’t wait to see your projects with these products! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Crisp Apples Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today we are creating a fun card with the versatile Build-a-Bowl dies. You can fill this bowl with lots of fruits, I opted for some yummy Crisp Apples!

Instead of a normal rectangle card base, I decided to round the corners and add a fun stripe pattern (stencil from my stash and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide).

I love adding lots of layers to my card, so next I cut a panel from a blue purple paper with one of the Rounded Rectangle Mat dies. I dry embossed this piece with the Dotted Diamond Portrait die. After cutting a smaller white piece of card stock with one of the Stitched Arch dies, I used the Woodgrain embossing folder for extra texture.

Then it was time for my centerpiece, which consists of the pretty bowl (Build-a-Bowl dies) cut from a purple gingham paper (Gingham Pastels) and embellished with a purple border (Ribbon and Lace Borders).

I cut a bunch of apples and leaves (Crisp Apples) from white card stock. I love that you get two sizes and colored them with Distress Oxide Abandoned Coral, Saltwater Taffy, Peacock Feathers and Scorched Timber.

My combined sentiment was taken from the Punny Apple Greetings set and stamped onto a white Brilliant Banner 4 with Versafine Onyx Black ink and a red ink from y stash. I stacked this banner on top of a purple one. A few Champagne Clear jewels were added for that extra sparkle.
