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!

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!

Foxy Friends Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am sharing a Valentine’s card with a couple of adorable cuties from Foxy Friends stamp and die set. There are a bunch of sweet images in this set which made it hard to select just two! I will definitely make more projects with the other critters!

After creating a white card base, I cut a scalloped border from a white panel with the outer die from Fancy Frames Rectangle dies.

You can never have enough hearts on a ‘love themed’ card and that is where the Bursting Hearts die comes in handy! I used this die in a previous project where I wanted to add white hearts to my design, so I still had the background panel set aside. I always love when you get different uses from one product! To make all the heart shapes really pop I glued a red striped panel (Striped Silly pad) to the back of the white background.

Next, I glued this piece to the card base and added the white border. For my focal point, I die cut a white circle which was just a bit larger than the second of the Scalloped Circle Mats 3. Additionally, I created a vellum circle with the later die.

Using some ‘glue sheets for vellum’, I was able to add the vellum to the white circle without visible traces of glue. Next, I mounted the circles to the heart panel with foam tape.

I selected a cute pair of foxes, an umbrella (Foxy Friends stamp and die set), a letter   (Bighearted Bears) and a tiny bow (Heart Bouquet Stamps). For my color scheme, I went with brown, teal and red Copic markers. Of course, I had to add white details with a gel pen! My sentiment was pulled from the Foxy Friends stamp and I used a red ink from my stash.

To complete the design, I placed the images and sentiment banner in position. As a final embellishment, two red jewels (Bright Jewel mix) were glued on each side of the sentiment.

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here with an adorable Valentine themed card! I am using the versatile Window Trio Hearts Portrait die and I love how easy it creates a fun design!

As usual, I started with a white card base and went on to stamp a pink grid pattern on a white panel (Background Basics 2). From this panel I created three heart shapes using the Window Trio Hearts Portrait die. To match these hearts I selected a pretty pink heart paper (Flirty Flowers), cut it to an A2 size and off set the Window Trio Hearts Portrait die to the left side. I kept the three pattern paper hearts for another project and mounted the panel to the card base.

Next, I simply inlayed the pink grid hearts with some liquid glue. For extra interest, I also added a white scalloped border (Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies).

After selecting three adorable cuties from Bighearted Bears, I colored them with grey, pink and teal copics. The perfect combination for a love themed card! Each bear was placed inside a heart shape with foam tape.

My combined sentiment was taken from the same set and stamped onto small white strips with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I stacked the strips on top of each other in the bottom right corner.

Then I pulled one of my favorite dies, Bursting Hearts, and created a bunch of white hearts in one pass of my die cut machine! I love alle the different sizes you get as well! I scattered the cute hearts all over the design.

I can’t wait to see your projects with these products! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

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.

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!

Majestic Meadow Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today. I am so excited to share a birthday card featuring the new Majestic Meadows Stamps from the Spring Release. This is an amazing background stamp that is just perfect for scene building. It created a quick backdrop for my little birthday party today. I love that it is large enough for you to create a large square, a portrait A2 or a landscape A2 sized card. And there's also an awesome coordinating die that can diecut part of the landscape and all of extra images.

I stamped the background image from the new Majestic Meadows Stamps onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. Then I stamped one of the birds from the Majestic Meadows Stamps, the foxes, flowers, wagon and party elements from the new Foxy Friends Stamps and a couple of birds from the Little Birdie Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Majestic Meadows Dies, Foxy Friends Dies and Little Birdie Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Foxes: YR21/23/24/27 E09, W00/0/1/3, W7, R00/30
Birds: B0000/000/00/02, Y38 YR04, Y38 YR04, R30
Sky: B0000
Green: YG01/03/17
Blue Hats/Gift: B000/00/02
Pink: RV21/23
White: C1
Wagon: E21/23/25, C1, W7
Trees: YG01/03/17, E21/23/25/29

I used the larger die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies set to die cut out the panel. I adhered the  panel onto the front of a top folding white card base (4.25" x 5.5"). Next, I diecut a scalloped frame using the larger die from the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies set and white cardstock. I adhered the scalloped frame to the panel and card base using foam tape. 

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the new Party Pets Stamps onto a piece of white cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I diecut out the sentiment with the coordinating Party Pets Dies. 

I adhered the flower pots and wagon directly onto the panel. Then I adhered the sentiment and the remainder of the colored images onto the card front with some foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. For more info, ideas and to check out the entire new Spring Release, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.
