Inside Greetings Friends Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today we are creating a card all about friendship. I love sending my cards out to other crafters and this project is perfect for that. I will be using a sentiment from the Inside Greetings Friends stamp. These sentiments also work great on the outside of a card as show in this design!

After creating a white card base, I cut a white panel with the rectangle die from Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace. This piece was dry embossed with the Woodgrain folder before adhering it to the card base.

My background is an arch (Stitched Arch Dies) cut from a pink heart paper (Flirty Flowers) and also from white card stock. This latter arch will become the floor after I stamped a wooden texture (Sprawling Surfaces) with a brown ink from my stash. I did go in and added more color with my Copics. Next, I layered both arch pieces and glued them to the white wooden panel.

By now you will know that I love cute critters, so I selected two kittens and a box  from Cat Antics. As usual, I used my Copics for the coloring. I stamped the XOXO message (Vintage Valentine) with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto the little sign one of the cats is holding.

Finally, I used the same ink to add the sentiment (Inside Greetings Friends) to a white banner. All that was left was to mount the images and sentiment to my arch background. A few Champagne Clear Jewels gave this project that extra sparkle!

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

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!
