Mermaid Kisses Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today we are off to the beach! For this card I combined the sweet Mermaid Kisses stamp and die set with the beautiful Ocean View scene.

After creating a teal card base, I stamped the ocean scene onto a white panel which I cut with the outer die of Frilly Frames Chevron. Then I started coloring this view with my Copic markers. I wanted to create that foam look of waves crushing the beach, so I added lots of white details with a gel pen.

To finish this scene, I ink blended a summer sun with a stencil from my stash and Distress Oxides Spun Sugar and Squeezed Lemonade. I masked of the horizon line, but not the palm trees since I was using small brushes.

Next, I selected a cutie from the Mermaid Kisses stamp set and also some seashells and starfish. From the Ocean View set I picked the rock with seaweed, but decided to cut away the seaweed portion with my scissors. All the coloring was done with Copics in bright tones.

Before assembling the card, I pulled a sentiment from the Mermaid Kisses stamp and used a blue ink from my stash. I love how this large phrase fills in the rightside corner nicely! To complete the design, I added the images with foam tape. As a final embellishment, a few Champagne Clear jewels were glued on each side of the sentiment.

And that finishes this fun beach scene! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

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!
