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!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Doggone Birthday Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Balloon Alphabet Dies, Limitless Labels Dies, Frilly Frame Dies)

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!

Background Basics 2 Card with Amanda

Hello there, crafters, Amanda here! I hope your week is off to a great start! Today, I am sharing a cute little kitty card I created for a special birthday!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Background Basics 2 Focused Birthday Card by Amanda Fitterer (featuring Party Pets, Sprawling Surfaces, Fancy Frame Rectangle Dies, Moroccan Circles Embossing Folder)

This card has quite a few layers, so let me explain how I created each one! First, I used the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies and cut both of the larger frames. I only used the outside layer of each cutout and saved the inside frames for another card. Next, I ran a piece of mint paper through my die-cutting machine with the Morrocan Circles Embossing Folder

Then, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 2.75” x 4” for my background panel. On this panel, I masked off the bottom portion with some tape. I ink blended Catherine Pooler's Hot Tub ink on the entire area. Then, I stamped the Background Basics 2 Stamps with Catherine Pooler’s Sea Glass ink.

I masked off the top portion of the panel and then stamped the wood floor image from the Sprawing Surfaces Stamps. I colored the floor with E21, E23, and E25 Copic markers.

Now, with all those layers complete, we can assemble the card! I glued the mint panel to an A2 card base. Then, I added the outside frame, adhering it with thin foam tape. Then, I glued the background panel to the center of the card. And finally, I used more thin foam tape to adhere the inner frame to the card.

Now, we can move on to the main event: the kitties! I stamped the cats, accessories, and sentiment from the Party Pets Stamps with black ink. Then, I colored them in with Copic markers.

Here are the marker colors I used:
Cats: W8, YR24, YR27, N0, N1, N8, N9, R22, R30
Green Areas: YG000, YG00, YG01, YG03, YG05
Blue/Green Areas: BG 11, BG13, BG32
Pink Areas: RV10, RV21, RV23, RV25, R00, R20, R22


I die cut the images and sentiment out with the 
coordinating die set. I added them to the card using foam squares. To add a little bit of detail, I added 3 Iridescent Clear Jewels.

The card is finished!  I love how the layers make this card unique and eye-catching! Thanks for stopping by the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today! Come back tomorrow for more inspiration!

Balloon Numbers Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and as soon as I saw the Balloon Numbers stamp and die set, I knew I wanted to make a fairytale card for a sweet little girl that will be celebrating her third birthday this month! She loves all kinds of animals and that became the theme of this project.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Balloon Numbers Focused Birthday Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Frilly Frame Dies, Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Stitched Oval 2 Dies, Garden Fairy, Garden Critters, Make A Wish, A Bird's Life)

To start, I die cut a panel from white card stock with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Stripes die. I created a ‘wood’ look by dry embossing this piece with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. Next, I turned this panel into a frame by using the second largest die from Stitched Ovals 2. I kept the inside oval for another project and selected a teal striped background from the Striped Silly pack. I love how this instantly gives you a bold backdrop.

Then it was time to browse through my stamps, selecting all the elements I wanted for my birthday scene. I went with a sweet fairy (Garden Fairy), several cute Garden Critters, two adorable birds with branch (A Bird’s Life), a darling duck (Puddle Jumpers), and the all-important cake (Make A Wish) and number 3 from the Balloon Numbers stamp and die set!

All the coloring was done with my trusty Copic markers and white gel pen details made the images pop even more.

To assemble the card, I glued the tree to the back of the wooden frame before adhering the striped panel. Next, I placed the cake at the bottom of the frame and added critters to the left and right. The sweet fairy is flying through the sky, holding the balloon number with a little piece of pink thread from my sewing box. Lastly, I positioned the two birdies near the branch. This whole scene was glued to a white card base. No need for a sentiment since ‘the birthday party with the pink 3’ was our centerpiece! Adding a few Champagne clear Jewels finishes this sweet project. 

I can’t wait to see all these balloon numbers featured in your projects! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and although not often, it does happen that I forget to send a birthday card. Those are the times when the Inside Greetings Belated Birthday stamp set comes to the rescue! In this instance, I stamped a shorter sentiment from the set onto a white banner and put it on the outside of my card.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Balloon Rides, Stitched Arch Dies, Lots of Dots Embossing Folder)

I wanted to go for a ‘relatable scene’ and since hot air balloons travel slow, it would be the perfect match for the sentiment!

After creating a white card base, I die cut a panel from white card stock with the outer die from Frilly Frames Retro Petals. To create a ‘sky scene’, I transformed this piece into an arched frame (largest of the Stitched Arched dies). Next step was to dry emboss this frame with the Lots of Dots folder. I love that extra layer of detail!

I still had the inner arched piece of white card stock left and this will be become my sky by inking it with a light blue ink from my stash. Next, I cut two layers of white clouds.

After selecting the hot air balloon, the koala and three clouds from the Balloon Rides set, I started the coloring with my trusty Copic markers and a white gel pen for added details.

I assembled the different layers of this card, by gluing the cloud borders to the back of the frame. Next, I placed the arched piece, which fitted in like a puzzle piece! I held all these elements together with some tape on the back before I mounted everything to the card base.

I tucked the balloon and his cute passenger between the puffy borders, added the separate clouds and finally placed the sentiment banner. Adding a few Pastel Jewels finishes this sweet project.

Doggone Birthday Card with Nicky

Hello friends, this is Nicky back with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I am sharing a birthday card that I made featuring the new Doggone Birthday mini stamp set from the Spring release. Read on for all the details.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Doggone Birthday Card by Nicky Meeks (featuring Fancy Frame Dies, Dapper Diamonds Embossing Folder, Happy Howl-O-Ween)

I kicked things off with an A2 panel of white cardstock which I ink blended with Distress Oxide Inks to form a pastel focus in the top right and lower left corners. I then used the Dapper Diamonds Embossing Folder and ran it through my Big Shot to create the interesting background design. I took a second panel of white cardstock and die cut the Fancy Frames Rectangle Die. I glued the smaller frame directly to the background panel and the larger (outer) frame was applied with foam tape. From the negative inner cut I trimmed a piece of 'ground' for my characters to sit on. I ink blended it and glued in place.

I stamped the images from Doggone Birthday and I took the bow tie wearing pup from Happy Howl-o-Ween and stamped him. I coloured, highlighted and die cut the images with the Doggone Birthday dies and Happy Howl-O-Ween dies. Here are the Copic colours used:

Purple - V05, V01, RV00
Yellow - Y21, Y00, Y000
Green - YG41, G40, G20
Dog (left) - E35, E33, W6, W4
Dog (right) - w4, W2, W0
Bones - E43, E41

The die cut images were applied to the scene. I added a little shadow under the pups and a polka dot design to the large gift. I stamped the sentiment and applied the strips with foam tape and then I glittered my little heart out by adding sparkle to all of the ribbons. A few embellishments completed the scene.

Thanks for reading my blog post today, I'll be back next Friday with something brand new!
