Icing Rectangles Frames Die Focused Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina with a fun birthday card featuring the versatile Icing Rectangles Frame dies. This spring I really am drawn to happy and bright colors, hence the yellow card base and polka dot yellow panel (Spring Fever) which I cut with the outer of the Frilly Frames Stripes die. 

Next, I pulled out the Icing Rectangles Frame dies and used the smaller of the two with some white card stock. I opted to showcase the sweet small border this die provides but before adding this piece to my panel, I had to create the space for my scene. I used a rectangle die from my stash (Infinity Rectangles) a bit smaller than the white frame. My background consists of a white rectangle dry embossed with the Lots Of Dots folder.

Now, I was ready to add all these layers to my card base. For my focal point I selected a stamp set that is super adorable, it’s called Plane Awesome and I love that it comes with a bunch of cute pilots! I stamped the plane, some clouds and a sweet doggy, which I then colored with my Copic markers. 

The sentiment comes from the same set and you can mix and match these words to combine many greetings. Of course, I went with a birthday saying (Versafine Onyx Black ink). I mounted the sentiment with foam strips near the bottom of the frame and went on to add the plane, pilot and clouds. Lastly, I sprinkled a few Champagne Clear Jewels for that extra touch. I really love how the icing border adds an extra layer of detail to this project.

I hope you got inspired by this project and I can’t wait to see your take on this lay-out. Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Woolly Friends Cards with June Helsen

Hello crafty friends! It's June here, and I was lucky enough to be invited to be a guest designer for the latest release, yay! Today I'll be sharing 2 cards I made using my favorite products from the new release, along with some other fun older Sunny Studio products. Let's get started!

My first card features a little scene I made using the new Woolly Friends stamps. These were so much fun to color. I loved adding a bit of texture to the sheep's wool and coloring the fence to look like wood!

I cut the largest of the Fancy Frames Oval dies and used both pieces to frame my scene. I backed my frames using a piece of cardstock on which I did some soft ink blending. I used Salvaged Patina and Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide and went in with a very light hand so the backdrop wouldn't be too distracting. I also added some ink splatters with Peacock Feathers and Rustic Wilderness.

My favorite small detail of the Woolly Friends stamps is the scripty 'ewe' that's included in the dies. I just knew I had to use it, so I picked a sentiment I could use it with. For my background, I decided to play into the sheep theme even more and use the Cable Knit embossing folder along with the Loopy Rectangle Frame. I cut both from different shades of blue cardstock and did some ink blending on the background after embossing. I also added some white ink splatters on top for some more detail.

I love how this one turned out, so for my second card, I wanted to use the same stamp set and loopy frames, but in a totally different way. This time, I combined it with the Clucky Chickens stamp set to create a farm-themed card. I kept my colors very neutral and warm-toned, so it gives it a bit of a vintage look. 

I kept my background very plain and simple this time. Just some light-handed ink blending using Antique Linen and Tea Dye Distress Oxide, and some ink splatters using Vintage Photo. I cut my frame from brown cardstock, matching the images I colored and my splatters. I used a different sentiment this time, but also used the scripty 'ewe' of course! 

And those are my 2 cards as a guest designer! I had such a fun time making these cards and playing around with some of the new products. I wish you all a very creative weekend.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Baked With Love Cards with Mona Toth

Hi crafty friends! It’s Mona here. I am so excited to be here as a guest designer, and share a sweet card and matching tag inspiration with you, using lovely Sunny Studio supplies.

I started my project with the card. First, I stamped the cookie and heart images from the Baked With Love stamp set and colored them with Ohuhu markers. After coloring I die-cut the images with its coordinating dies, so they were ready to use on my card.

For the background I used a piece of white woodgrain cardstock and embossed it with the Dapper Diamonds embossing folder. I really love the soft texture it adds to the white card while still keeping the focus on the stamped images. However I needed something extra, so I added some dark pink splatters with watercolor to break the card fronts softness.

Next, I cut a sheet of pink cardstock, called ballet slippers, and adhered it on a white cardbase. With D foam squares I adhered the embossed cardstock on the top of it. For the main sentiment I used the Sydney Alphabet dies to create the big word “COOKIE”. The small sentiment above it comes from the Baked With Love stamp set.

Once the card was finished, I made a few matching tags using the Build A Tag #2 dies. I used Strawberry Red and Ballet Slippers pink, and white cardstock for the tag bases.

To decorate them I stamped and colored more cookie images from the Baked With Love stamp set so the tags match the card perfectly. The sentiments come from the Inside Greetings Friends stamp set which is great for small projects like tags. After arranging the cookies I added gold sequined ribbon and added a few sequins as an embellishment as well.

Thank you so much for reading my post today. I hope this project inspires you to create something sweet too.

Sydney Alphabet Focused Card with Tina H

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here with a sweet baby card featuring the versatile Sydney Alphabet dies. I always love to create personal messages and these dies are perfect for that!

After creating a simple card base, I cut a white panel with the outer die of the Frilly Frames Stripes die which was then dry embossed with the Lots Of Dots embossing folder. I used liquid glue to adhere this piece to the card base.

My focal point consists of a large dark blue Oval (Scalloped Oval Mat 1). On top of this I am going to layer a white oval piece (Stitched Ovals) that will be turned into a sky scene with a blue ink and cloud stencil from my stash.

After mounting these two ovals to the embossed background, I selected a cutie from the Baby Elephant set. As always I used my Copics for some soft coloring, adding highlights with a white gel pen.

Then it was time to work on my combined sentiment. I spelled the word ‘baby’ with the Sydney Alphabet dies and glued them after the stamped ‘welcome’ word which was also taken from the Baby Elephant set. To complete the night sky, I added loads of dark blue stars, cut with several dies from the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles. I scattered them around the main image to complete the design.

I am looking forward to see all the beautiful cards you will create with this amazing die set! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Woolly Friends Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here, sharing a card featuring the new Woolly Friends Stamps! This super cute set is all about fluffy sheep, Easter and Spring! And of course I colored my sheep pink!

I started off by stamping four of the sheep, the egg basket, the picket fence, flowers/leaves and extra eggs from the Woolly Friends Stamps set on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below. I then die cut the images out using the coordinating Woolly Friends Dies. Then setting them aside to work on the card base and the background panel.

Copic colors used:
Sheep: RV000/10/11/13, W0/1/3
Picket fence: C0/1/3
Eggs: BG11/13/49, YR04/Y15/17, RV10/11/13
Flowers: Y15/RV11/10
Leaves: YG03/17
Bows: Y15/17, BG13/11

For my card I used an A2 size card base. I trimmed a piece of pink cardstock from my stash to 5,5 x 4,25 inches and ran it through my die cutting machine with the Dapper Diamonds Embossing Folder. Next, I adhered the pink panel to the card base using double sided tape.

I then trimmed a piece of white card stock to measure 5 x 3,75 inches to create a simple ink blended scene with green for grass and turquoise for sky. I stamped and die cut the small bits of grass and tucked the eggs behind the grass. Lastly, I trimmed a piece of black cardstock for a frame to go behind my scene panel and adhered them to the card base, using double sided tape.

Next, I stamped the sentiment from the Woolly Friends Stamp set. I added foam dots to the back of the remaining colored and die cut pieces for dimension and adhered them to the card!

Thanks for stopping by! Wishing you all a happy and colorful day!

Zig Zag Circles Die Focused Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina with another sweet Spring card. This design is framed by one of the fun Zig Zag Circle dies. 

I started this project with a square card base. Next, I cut a white panel with the largest of the Scalloped Square 1 Small dies. I dry embossed this piece with the Woodgrain folder. I love how this texture matches the nature vibe of this card! Next, I glued this panel to the card base.

For my focal point I cut a large white circle (Zig Zag Circle dies) and turned it into a frame by using one of the Stitched Circles Small dies. Both pieces will fit together like a puzzle during the build-up of the design. I cut another piece (teal paper Flirty Flowers) with the stitched circle die to create a grassy border (die from my stash). The top part of the white circle was turned into a sky (cloud stencil from my stash and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide). I glued the grass piece to the circle with liquid glue.

To complete the scene I stamped a tree branch, a little birdie (A Bird’s Life), some Easter eggs, a basket and a cute chick (Chickie Baby). All the coloring was done with my Copic markers and I added white highlights with a gel pen.

My sentiment comes from the Chubby Bunny set and was stamped on a white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Before building the card, I took the white circle frame and the inner landscape part and flipped them both backwards. Then, I used some tape to hold them together. This extra step made it a lot easier for me to add foam tape and mount both parts to the embossed square panel.  I put all the images in place using tape where needed for that extra dimension. Lastly, I added the sentiment strip and some Aquamarine Jewels for that soft touch of bling!

I love how the Zig Zag Circle frames this sweet scene. But this set can be used for so many other designs! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
