Love Monkey Cards with Juliana and Angelica

Hello friends! It's Juliana Michaels with you and today I'm sharing a sweet little Valentine's Day Card featuring the adorable Love Monkey Stamp Set. Last week I shared a card using these stamps for a birthday card. I just love how versatile this set can be!

To get started, I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the largest die from the Fancy Frames Rectangle Die Set. To fill the frame, I took a piece of red paper from the Classic Gingham 6x6 Paper Pad and trimmed it to fit inside the white frame. I used an extra die cut frame as a guide to help with this.

I knew I wanted a strong Valentine's theme to the card, so I decided to layer a big heart from the Stitched Heart Dies on top of this to hold the scene I was going to create with the stamps. Because the heart was wider than the frame, I knew I would have to trim off some of the heart. I also wanted the stitching to show on the outside of the heart. Using the largest die from the Stitched Heart Dies I die cut the red gingham paper. I used Therm O Web Purple Tape to help hold the die in place. I then used the same die to cut a piece of Bristol Paper. I took the heart cut from the Bristol Paper and applied ink to the center using an ink blending tool and Distress Ink in Spun Sugar. Remember to tap off the excess on your craft mat before applying it to the paper to help achieve a smooth blend.

Once the background was finished, I started creating my scene. I began by stamping the adorable Love Monkey Stamp Set images and then colored them with Copic Markers. After I was finished coloring, I die cut them using the coordinating Love Monkey Die Set.

For the sentiment, I stamped the words onto black cardstock with Versamark Embossing Ink and then heat embossed them with white embossing powder. To complete the card, I adhered a few red cardstock hearts that I die cut using the Stitched Heart Die Set.

I hope you enjoyed this bit of Valentine's Day Card inspiration using the Love Monkey Stamp Set. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Tuesday everyone! Angelica here with a card to share with you featuring the adorable Love Monkeys stamp set. 

The first thing I did with this stamp set was color all the monkeys. I stamped the images onto white card stock with Memento Black Tuxedo ink, then used Copic Markers to color. After Coloring, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I was so pleasantly surprised at how detailed the dies cut!

Next, I die-cut black card stock with the Fall Flicks Filmstrip Die. I used liquid glue to attach the filmstrip to a white card front panel. I filled in the empty spaces of the filmstrip with papers from the Flirty Flowers Paper Pack. I picked out all of the images I wanted to use to make my scene, and backed them with foam squares. 

I stamped a small sentiment under the film strip, then added the images. I attached the card front to craft foam for more dimension, then glued the panel to an A2 card base. My final touch was adding Glossy Accents to the tiny die cut hearts.

That's all I have for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Fall Flicks Filmstrip Dies Sunflower Field Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I'll be using the Fall Flicks Filmstrip Dies along with Happy Harvest to create a fall card. 

To begin my card today, I started off with stamping out a ton of sunflower and stem images as well as a couple of pumpkins onto some watercolour card stock from the Happy Harvest stamp set. I then clear heat embossed over them so they would be easier to watercolour. I then used my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers to colour them in. Once they were coloured, I die cut them using the coordinating dies. I set them off to the side and die cut the rest of my layers that I needed to use. I die cut my Fall Flicks Filmstrip from black card stock and then used Woodland Borders to cut into some watercolour paper for the scene. 

(Zig's Used: No. 70 Orange, No. 62 Dark Brown, No. 41 Light Green, No. 66 Dark Oatmeal, No. 60 Brown, No. 52 Bright Yellow, No. 67 Mustard)

Now that all my elements were cut out, I used some Ground Espresso, Candied Apple and Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks for the sunset background along with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron for the ground. I adhered both pieces together using foam tape and then adhered the Fall Flicks Filmstrip dies on a piece of patterned paper from Amazing Argyle. I then adhered my distress inked pieces inside too and cut off the excess. Lastly, I adhered my images into place and white heat embossed the 'Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice' sentiment from Happy Harvest onto a strip of black card stock and adhered it into the centre. 

That finished up my card for today, I hope you enjoyed and I'll see you all next time.

Fall Flicks Filmstrip Halloween Themed Card with Vanessa

Hello everybody! I hope you are all doing well! Vanessa here today with a fun selfie card using the Fall Flicks Filmstrip Dies. You can create the cutest scenes with this die!

I started with a panel of white cardstock and die-cut the film strip from it. Then I stamped the cute owls from Happy Owl-o-ween and from Harvest Happiness onto the middle rectangle. After I had masked them, I stamped the tree from Happy Harvest, masked this too and applied inks with an ink blending tool. I applied ink droplets and took off the masks. Now I repeated the same steps on the small rectangles and colored all images with Copics.

I die-cut the film strip from black cardstock and adhered it to the card. Then I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment and adhered the rectangles.

These owls make me smile, I hope they make you, too! Thank you for stopping by today!!

Fall Flicks Filmstrip Home Is Where The Heart Is Card with Lexa

Hello everyone! It's Lexa here today with a card that highlighting the Fall Flicks Filmstrip Dies that has a lot of fun elements and is versatile enough for every season, not only fall. Let's get started.

First, I die cut the sunflowers from solid color cardstock and all of the pieces together. I had the idea to create a sunflower field scene inside the filmstrip, but soon after I started to arrange the sunflowers the scene seemed too plain and boring. So I added a red house from Comic Strip Everyday dies to the scene and finally it comes to life. Together with some fluffy white clouds and grass border from the same die set it creates a complete scene. The red house is far from the sunflower field so it tends to look smaller. All solid colors make this scene stand out more.

I decided to cut the top and bottom part of the filmstrip so it could be the main focus in the middle of my card. I adhered a thin strips of brown woodgrain patterned paper from the Amazing Argyle Paper Pad adhered on each side. I love how the sunflowers in the front ground are giving both depth and dimension to this card. The sentiment is from an older set called Happy Home Stamp and stamped with brown dye ink.

That's all for today. I hope you like today's card as much as I do. Have a wonderful day!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Leanne West

Hi everyone! Leanne West here and I’m back again to share three cards I’ve made featuring some of the fall release products. This time I’ve focused on using some of the stand alone dies along with the pattern paper. There’s very little stamping on these cards. Only the sentiments are stamped. I rarely make cards that are this die cut heavy but I thoroughly enjoyed the process and I’m so happy with the results.  

First up is a card that features the Nutty For You dies. This was such an easy card to make but really packs a punch with the oversized acorns. Instead of using all solid card stock for my die cuts, I decided to jazz it up a bit by using some of the Amazing Argyle and Gingham Jewel Tones pattern paper for the body of the acorn. I kept the sentiment simple by stamping and heat embossing “autumn” from the Fall Kiddos stamp set and adding the die cut “greetings” from the Greetings Word die. I used some vellum behind the acorns to help them stand out from the A2 sized kraft card base.  

For my second card I wanted to create a fall scene using the Fall Flicks Filmstrip dies. This set contains dies to build tiny sunflowers and pumpkins and I thought it would be fun to make them out of the Gingham Jewel Tones pattern paper. This paper is double sided and I used both sides. The rolling hills were created using the Woodland Borders dies. I decided to also have some fun with the sentiment. I thought the large Happy Word die is such a wonderful contrast in size to the tiny sunflowers and pumpkins. The stamped part of the sentiment is from Fall Kiddos.  

For my final card I’ve created another fall scene, but this time I used some of the Comic Strip Everyday dies. Again I’ve cut most of the pieces to build the scene out of the Gingham Jewel Tones pattern papers. I think the gingham paper makes beautiful fall foliage for the trees. The stamped sentiment is from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set.  

I wanted to share a few tips that helped streamline the process of all the die cutting for building these scenes. When having to make a lot of cuts with tiny dies, I found that a small die cutting machine like the Sizzix Sidekick was very convenient. I was able to have the Sidekick right next me on my desk. I also found it very helpful to have the card stock and pattern paper I was using for each card trimmed down into small pieces - about 2” by 4” in size. That size fits perfectly through the Sidekick and I could still get many cuts out of it.  It’s good to have a pair of tweezers or a jewel picker to handle the die cut pieces. I used a quick drying liquid adhesive in a bottle with a needle nose tip for gluing the pieces together. This was especially helpful with the parts of the house since they are extra tiny. And if you are like me and have trouble deciding on colors, just go ahead and cut out more than you need in multiple colors/patterns. That way you can play around with the pieces like a puzzle until you get just right combination.  

I hope I’ve offered you some fall inspiration for using these fabulous new products from Sunny Studio. These cards were so fun to make and I now have big love for tiny dies!! Thanks so much for joining me today! Happy Crafting!!

Fall Flicks Filmstrips Sunflower Autumn Blessings Card with Franci

Hi there, Franci here with you today to showcase the new Fall Flicks Filmstrips die set! I love that it's full of mini dies you can combine to create lovely dimensional pumpkins and sunflowers.

First, I created my card base out of some white cardstock and then I covered the front with this precious paper that I found in my stash. It's cream with lots of sparkly/bronze details and texture and I thought it would be the perfect background for my die cuts. I die cut the film strip out of this new brown patterned paper you can find in the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones 6x6 paper set and all the other elements out of white cardstock.

I colored all the die cuts with Distress inks (Spiced Marmalade, Walnut Stain and Shabby Shutters) and I glued them together to create all the little pumpkins and sunflowers. 

I adhered everything to my card base with foam tape and then I stamped my sentiment using the Happy Harvest set in a rich brown color. Finally, I added some sparkling sequins to finish my card.

Hope you like it and thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a lovely week.
