Fintastic Friends Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun underwater birthday card to share with you featuring these adorable images from the Fintastic Friends, Kiddie Pool and Tropical Scenes sets. I love how well these sets can mix and match with one another.

I stamped the images from the Fintastic Friends Stamps, Kiddie Pool Stamps and Tropical Scenes Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Fintastic Friends Dies, Kiddie Pool Dies and Tropical Scenes Dies to diecut them out. I colored the images with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Skin: E000/00/21/11/93
Blonde Hair: E50/53/35
Bathing suit: RV10/21/13/14
Swim trunks: R05/24/29
Goggles: E000, B000, RV13 (pink), R05 (red)
Starfish: Y11/13/15
Fish: Y11/13/15, B000/00/02, R20
Jellyfish: RV000/10, R20
Stingray: C00/0/1/3/5/7, R20

Teal: BG10/15
Orange: Y17 YR04
Yellow: Y11/13/15
Pink: RV10/13
Green: YG01/03

For the background, I ink blended the lower half of another piece of Neenah white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") with Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks.

For the sentiment, I stamped the "Have a" and "Birthday" from the Panda Party Stamps and the "fintastic" from the Fintastic Friends stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used one of the banner dies from the Stitched Rectangle Dies to diecut it out.

The colored images and sentiment strip were adhered to the inked panel with a combination of liquid adhesive and foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5"). I finished the card with a few Majestic Clear Confetti.

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

Fintastic Friends Shark Week Card Set with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some ocean-themed cards for summer using our Fintastic Friends Stamps, among several other sets.

For my first card featuring all the octopus, seahorse, jellyfish, and other ocean critters from our Fintastic Friends Stamps, I thought it would be fun to create giant bubbles using the negative space left behind using our Stitched Circle Small Dies and Stitched Circle Large Dies. You could also create a similar look with our Staggered Circle Dies. I then stamped the greeting from the set and added a number of the smaller bubble images as embellishments around the larger bubble window cutouts.

For my second card, I couldn't resist combining all the sharks from our Fintastic Friends Stamps, Best Fishes Stamps, and Sea You Soon Stamps together in one card to commemorate Shark Week. I wanted to create the look of portholes in a ship so I nested circles from our Stitched Circle Small Dies and Stitched Circle Large Dies, cutting them from metallic gold cardstock. I then lined them up on my glass mat and used the grid on the mat to mark off the spots with my Sharpie pen. I then used an X-acto knife to create small slits to slip in mini gold brads as the porthole rivets. I made sure to apply all the brads before adding the panel to my card front so the inside of my card would still be pretty. For my ship's "wall," I inked up a piece of woodgrain cardstock with Vintage Photo Distress ink and added a punny greeting from the Best Fishes Stamps, which I stamped onto our Brilliant Banner 3 Dies. I used a piece of ivory cardstock for my banner and inked it up with Antique Linen Distress Ink to make it feel like an old scroll. Lastly, I stamped some solid bubbles around the sharks using images from the Best Fishes set.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today. 😊

Fintastic Friends Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun "just because" card featuring the super cute Fintastic Friends set. This set is filled with so many adorable underwater images and punny sentiments.

I stamped the images from the Fintastic Friends stamps and Ocean View Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Fintastic Friends Dies and Ocean View Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Fish: Y11/13/15, B00/02
Shark: B93/95/97/99, B0000, R20/22
Starfish: Y13/15
Octopus: RV10/21/13/14
Seahorse: V000/01/04/09
Stingray: C00/0/1/3/5/7
Pufferfish: YR02/0407
Rocks: C1/3
Kelp/Corals: YG21/23/25, Y23, RV10/13, V01/04, YR02/04

For the background, I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and diecut three windows into it using the second and third smallest dies from the Stitched Circle Large Dies and the third smallest die from the Stitched Circle Small Dies. I stamped some bubbles from the Fintastic Friends Stamp set directly onto the panel with Stormy Sky Distress Oxide ink. I adhered the panel to a piece of patterned paper (trimmed to 4.25" x 5.5") from the Summer Splash Paper pack.

For the sentiment, I stamped the "You're Fintastic" from the Fintastic Friends stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used a paper trimmer to cut it out. 

I adhered the sentiment and colored images to the front of the card with foam tape for additional dimension and interest. The card front was adhered to an A2 white card base (4.25" x 5.5"). 

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and it inspires you to make and send out some happy snail mail. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.
