Puddle Jumpers Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here, and although I have been enjoying a lot of sunny days lately, every now and then, the occasional Spring shower comes along! Great for our garden and refreshing for us all! Anyway, making a fun rainbow card has been on my list for a while. And what better set to use for such a scene than the happy Puddle Jumpers stamps and dies!

How cute is this little girl with her frog umbrella and all the sweet ducks! I also stamped the puddle twice. The clouds were selected from the Spring Showers set and I enjoyed coloring these images with my Copics in bright colors.

Creating the rainbow was a bit tricky. I didn’t have a stamp or die in that shape so I browsed through my stash and had an idea when I saw the Distinctive Doors die! This set contains a staircase with three steps. If I had two of these and glued them together onto a backing piece of card stock, I would end up with a straight mini rainbow! Coloring this piece was easy, I just had to mask each ‘step’ to add the right Copic color.

Now it was time to work on the design layers of this project starting with a white panel cut with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Stripes set. Next, I create a large white rounded rectangle (Rounded Rectangle Mat dies).

I am a huge fan of embossing folders they truly enhance any card design. And today, I stepped it up a notch by adding some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide to the raised side of the Buffalo Plaid folder before running the white rounded piece through the die cutting machine. When I layered all the pieces onto a white card base, it felt a little flat. It needed a pop of color! I could not find any matching blue card stock, so I just colored the borders of a white card base with a Copic marker I had used previously for the clouds.  

To continue the happy vibe of this project, I stamped a sentiment from the Over The Rainbow set onto a white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Adding a few Champagne Clear Jewels finishes this sweet ‘rainbow’ design.

Super Duper Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am sharing a Birthday card with the fun Super Duper stamp and die set! Such amazing characters and the sentiments in this set are so versatile!

After creating a card base, I cut a white panel with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron. To add extra interest, I dry embossed this panel with the Sunburst folder. This is one of my favorite techniques for including quick and easy details to a project.

The next level of this card was made from a red polka dot paper (Polka-dot Parade) cut with the second largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat set. I knew I was going for a red Superman suit and this paper was a perfect match. My hero had to make a spectacular entry so I needed to create the space with one of the Stitched Semi Circle dies. Next, I glued this red piece to the white panel and attached the whole to the card base.

I selected my character and a few stars from the Super Duper stamp set and colored everything with my Copic markers.

The add extra ‘drama’ to my sentiment I used the starburst shape from the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles and stamped the ‘Hope your day’ part (Super Duper stamp) with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Next, I used the largest rectangle speech bubble (Comic Strip Speech Bubbles), cut of the little tail and stamped the second part of the message (with red ink from my stash).

To complete the design, I placed the images inside the frame and added the two speech bubbles. As a final embellishment, some Silver Jewels were glued on each side of the sentiment.

I loved creating with this fun Super Duper set and I hope you will enjoy it too! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Pink Peonies Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today’s card layout is very versatile, it can be used for so many occasions. But since I am always in need of birthday cards, that is what I made! 

When I started my card making journey, I was a bit afraid of ‘flower arrangements’ and how to style them. I found that using the flowers as a center point with any kind of frame is always a winning combination. The beautiful Pink Peonies stamp and die set is great for these type of cards because it contains several shapes and sizes of peonies, making it easier for us to compose stunning bouquets.

After creating a square card base, I cut a panel with the biggest of the Scalloped Square 1 Large dies from white card stock. To add texture, I embossed it with the Buffalo Plaid Embossing folder and splattered the piece with Wilted Violet and Villainous Potion Distress Oxides.

While that was drying, I worked on my ‘frame’ element of the card. The Fancy Frames Circle dies are a perfect match for this square card. I cut them from a sheet of lilac Gingham Pastels and glued them directly to the card panel with liquid glue.

Next, it was time to create the flower centerpiece. I decided to stamp all the flowers and the leaves in this set and colored them in green, pink, and lilac shades with my Copics. Adding shadows with a darker maker and highlights with a white gel pen.

My sentiment was chosen from the Party Pets set and I love that it comes with a matching die! I stamped the ‘Happy Birthday’ with Versafine Onyx Black ink and cut two extra layers to make it very sturdy. After placing this sentiment on the top right of the circle, I could start to arrange my peonies and leaves. I opted for the three largest flowers, and they fill the circle perfectly. Finally, I sprinkled a few Silver Jewels to finish this card.

I can’t wait to see your creations with this beautiful flower stamp! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Card with Nicky

Welcome to the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today, this is Nicky with you with everything you need to know about how I made this belated birthday card featuring the Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Stamp Set. 

I took a white A2 panel of sturdy cardstock and used the Sunburst Embossing Folder on it and then used Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink and a blending brush and in circular movements both clockwise and anti clockwise I blended to emphasise the embossed effect and create some warmth. I die cut a simple circle of white cardstock and glued it a fraction above centre.

I stamped some images from Party Pets and coloured with the following Copic markers:

Cat - E74, E71, E70, E40, W00
Blush - R22, R21, R20, R00
Beige - E44, E31, E42, E40
Blue - BG01, B01, B00, B000
Red - R39, R29, R24
Pink - RV02, RV52

I stamped the large Happy Birthday sentiment with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Wow! Opaque Pastel Blue Embossing Powder. I also stamped the word 'belated' from the Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Stamp Set. I used pink ink to do this and then I backed all images with dimensional foam tape and adhered them in position. I highlighted my coloured images with a white gel pen.

I found some party streamer images from the Party Pets stamp set and stamped them in toning colours around the cat. I added Nuvo drops in toning colours throughout the sunburst and set the panel aside to dry.

I stamped the long inside greeting from the Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Stamp Set. Rather than stamp directly I stamped it on a die cut created by using the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies. I used a foam blender and more Spun Sugar ink to edge it and then glued it to the inside of the card. I then came in with the tiny heart image and stamped the pastel hearts just for a little added interest.

I appreciate you coming by to read the blog today and will be back next Friday with something brand new to share. Happy crafting!

Doggone Birthday Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today’s card features the very sweat Doggone Birthday stamp and die set. It’s a smaller set yet has all the elements you need to create festive projects!

I really wanted to show off this cute little party dog by creating several layers, so after I prepared my white card base, I browsed through my paper stash to find a fun combo. To start, I die cut a panel from a bright green striped paper (Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones) with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron.

For extra layering I used two sizes of the Limitless Labels 1 dies, cutting the largest from a grey sheet (Subtle Grey Tones) and the smaller from white card stock. To give this latter piece added interest I ran it through my die cutting machine with the Moroccan Circles embossing folder. Both the grey paper as the embossing brings so much extra detail to this simple card design!

After gluing all these panels to the white card base, I stamped and die cut my images. As I mentioned before, this set can be matched with lots of other sets but also works great on its own as I show in this project. I love the little party hat and the bones with bows! So cute!
All the coloring was done with my Copic markers.

My sentiment consists of two parts. First portion is a stamped ‘Happy Birthday’ (Punny Fruit Greetings). I couldn’t stamp onto the embossed panel, so I cut another smaller piece with the Limitless Labels 1 dies from white card stock and stamped onto this paper in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Next, I glued this to the bottom part of the embossed panel.

I spelled the word ‘YAY’ in two colors with letters of the Balloon Alphabet stamp and die set. After securing some green thread to the back of the letters, I mounted them to the white panel with foam tape. I made sure to hold the ends of the thread in place with a piece of tape, adhering them to the card base where I could hide them by putting the adorable doggie in place. Lastly, I added the two bones as presents and a few Iridescent Jewels. 

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!
