Big Panda Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today I am creating a ‘get well’ project for my sister who is recovering from surgery. What better way to cheer her up then to send her a card featuring the cute Big Panda stamp and die set.

The whole idea for this design was combining the panda with a bold background. I browsed through my paper pads and came across this gorgeous rainbow wavy sheet (Spring Fever) which I cut to size so it would fit inside a white scalloped panel (Frilly Frames Polka-Dots). After gluing these two pieces together, I adhered both to a white card base.

Next, I stamped the cute panda (Big Panda stamp), a little bow, the flower bouquet and a letter (Big Bunny). I cut all the images with the matching dies, making sure to use the special die which cuts the arms of the panda. Now the bear can hold the flowers, so cute!! After coloring the images with my copics, I added some white highlights with a gel pen.

Although the panda looked cute against the bold background, I still decided to add an extra layer of vellum to tone the brightness down a bit. I wanted this layer to stick well to the pattern paper, so I adhered the vellum to a large piece of double sided sticky paper before cutting it with the spiral notebook die (Notebook Tabs dies). I glued this piece to the wavy paper at a little angle. My sentiment was taken from the Heartfelt Wishes set and stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto a white banner (Brilliant Banner 1).

To assemble the card, I placed the banner near the bottom of the vellum notebook page so I could tug in the bear behind this piece. I added the bow, flowers and letter and mounted everything with foam tape. After sprinkling a few Iridescent Clear Jewels this sweet project was ready!

Fresh Lemon Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a punny and zesty card to share with you featuring the Fresh Lemon Dies and Build-a-Bowl Dies.

I used the Fresh Lemon Dies and the Build-a-Bowl Dies to diecut several lemons and the bowl out of white and green cardstock. I also used the Strawberry Patch Dies to diecut three flowers. Squeezed Lemon, Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber DIstress Oxide inks were used to "color" the lemons. I assembled the lemons inside the bowl and adhered them to each other.

For the layout, I used the Frilly Frames Polka Dot Dies to create an eyelet edge on a piece of pink cardstock. 

For the sentiment, I diecut the letters for the word ZEST out of white cardstock twice using the Chloe Alphabet Dies. The letters were layered and adhered to each other with liquid adhesive. For the subsentiment, I stamped the words "you're simply the" from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps directly onto the pink panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered the ZEST below.

The bowl of lemons was adhered to the panel with foam tape for some dimension. A piece of craft foam was adhered to the back of the pink panel before it was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5"). The card was finished 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 inspiration.

Wicker Basket Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and I had so much fun creating this Wicker Basket filled with juicy lemons. The basket was initially designed as an Easter die set but of course it can be used all year round!

After creating a standard card base, I cut a white panel with the outer die from Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace. This set comes with its own detailed insert, but I switched to the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal die instead for that extra layer of interest (I just glued this embossed rectangle panel cut to size on top of the scalloped piece).

With my base finished, I could start die cutting the cute Wicker Basket (and bow), some Fresh Lemons and a bunch of leaves (Strawberry Patch). Yes, I did use strawberry leaves with the lemons, but that is the beauty of card making!

I placed the die cuts on my sticky mat and used Distress Oxides to add color to all these pieces (Squeezes Lemonade, Peacock Feathers, Bundled Sage, Rustic Wilderness, Kitsch Flamingo, Abandoned Coral).

Then came the tricky part, creating the composition of basket, fruit, and flowers. I positioned the basket near the bottom of the white panel and played around with the die cuts. Once I was happy, I could glue the elements in place, using a mix of foam squares and liquid glue.

My sentiment was taken from the Everyday Greetings set and stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Adding a few Aquamarine Jewels finishes this sweet project.

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

Enchanted Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and my project today is so sweet and romantic! I am using the adorable Enchanted stamp and die set with lots of fairytale images. You can mix and match the sentiments to create the cutest messages!

Lots of romance going on and that is reflected in my color palette of soft pink, green and a bit of yellow. Such a perfect combo for this theme card. The scene wouldn’t be complete without lots of layers, I think it adds so much to the definition of a card.

Today I star with a standard pink card base, which I ‘created’ by coloring the edges of a plain white base with the darkest pink Copic marker I used for my coloring. Simple, and a perfect match!

Next, I cut a white panel using the outer die from the Frilly Frames Chevron set, which was further embellished by the Dotted Diamond Portrait die. This latter die is great to have in your stash, I love how it always elevates my cards and it is so easy to use!

Creating the oval focus point was achieved by combining the largest die from Scalloped Oval Mat 1 and the largest of the Stitched Ovals 2 dies. I used both to create a pink border, next, I cut three panel with the stitched die from white cardstock. One of these was splattered with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink and a small paintbrush. The other two were turned into grass borders (mini grass border dies, colored with Cracked Pistachio).

After selecting a cute princess, a knight and of course a castle (Enchanted stamp), I started my coloring with Copic markers. I added highlights with a gel pen.

I opted to stamp the combined sentiment (Enchanted stamp) onto a curved banner (Brilliant Banner 4) with Versafine Onyx Black ink. For extra interest, I cut the same shape from the pink card stock I used for the oval frame. I added all the layers and images to my card base and finished this project with some Pink Spinel Jewels.

I hope you like this sweet card and happy crafting!

Foxy Friends Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here with some happy vibes for you! As you know I love cute critters and there are many of those in the sweet Foxy Friends stamp and die set! But I did manage to choose three of them!

To start this project, I die cut a panel from a bright green dotted paper (Polka-dot Parade) with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron.

I love creating mini scenes and the Window Trio Square die is perfect for that! You instantly get three frames on which you can build a lay-out! No measuring or guess work needed to get the frames aligned straight. This die does all the work for you! After backing the green panel with a white piece of card stock I glued both to a white card base.

For this card I wanted the little foxes to have fun while doing some gardening (one of my hobbies too!). So, I selected three cuties, a few plants, a watering can and a wagon from the Foxy Friends stamp set.

As usual I did all the coloring with my Copic markers. Then I played around with the images and composed a mini scene for each of the three frames. I adhered the stamped pieces to the panel with foam tape.  

For the sentiment I combined the ‘Sending Happy Vibes’ phrase (Panda Party) and stamped it onto a white banner with Versafine Onyx Black ink. Next, I glued this banner between the frames, near the bottom part of the card. To finish this project, I sprinkled some Champagne Clear jewels to fill in the scenes.

Thank you so much, I appreciate you being here. Happy crafting!

Watering Can Rainbow Butterfly Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi. I am sharing some fun rainbow butterfly cards using the butterflies from our Watering Can Stamps and Dies. This fantastic set comes with a layering watering can that perfectly complements so many of our floral layering stamps like I shared yesterday, but today, I want to focus on the two little bonus butterflies for this set of cards.

Up first is a classic grid-style card. I started by die-cutting the largest scalloped square from black cardstock using our Scalloped Square 2 Small Dies. I then cut and scored a 4.25 x 4.25 square card base, which I adhered to and centered on the back. For the front, I die-cut a 4" square from white cardstock to layer over the top using our Stitched Square Dies to frame my butterflies. 

I stamped 9 individual butterflies in a rainbow of colors. To add a little interest, I inked up the solid layer of each butterfly by inking the stamp with a finger dauber (rather than the ink pad directly) and my Misti tool. I did this several times for each butterfly, building the color darker near the wing tips and lighter near the center. I then arranged them onto my card and popped each one up with some thin Crafty Foam Tape by Scrapbook Adhesives. Given the butterfly's width is greater than its height, I had extra room in my square grid to fit a greeting between the second and third rows so I heat embossed the greeting "Fluttering by to Say Hi!" from our Spring Showers Stamps, which I stamped onto the largest pennant strip from our Notebook Photo Corners Dies. I love the clean graphic feel of this card and how it turned out!

This time, rather than stamping each butterfly in a single bright color to form my rainbow, I stamped each butterfly to have a blended rainbow on their wings. I achieved this cool look by once again applying the ink to my stamp using a foam finger dauber with the help of a Misti tool. I took turns layering each color and stamping them 2 to 4 times each until I had the coverage and brilliance I desired before switching to the next ink color. When I was done, then I could layer the black layer over the top. I am so smitten with how gorgeous they look for just a few extra steps with the finger dauber!

For my card frame, I used the stitched rectangle die from our Frilly Frames Retro Petals Dies and then embossed the center portion with our Frilly Frames Hexagon Dies by using an embossing mat instead of a cutting plate. I love how all the Frilly Frames dies can mix and match and be used for a variety of techniques! 

For my sentiment strip, I die-cut a rainbow ombre patterned paper from our Spring Fling Paper pack using the smallest stitched pennant from our Slimline Pennant Dies. It wasn't quite long enough so I lengthened it by hanging part of the die off of my cutting pad and running it through a second time. However, you could also just cut it in two parts and hide the seam behind one of the butterflies. For my greeting, I stamped "Let Your Dreams" using our Plane Awesome Stamps and spelled "soar" using our Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies. To jazz it up, I then applied some Glossy Accents over the top of each letter and set it aside to dry.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛
