Hello Crafty Friends!
This is Hanh. I am thrilled to be back to Guest Design for Sunny
Studio Stamps. Today I am sharing a couple of fun birthday cards that I made
with the adorable Big Panda set. I love this series of larger sized
critters! They are so versatile and can be used individually as well as paired
up with critters from other previously released sets.
Happy Birthday!
For my first card, I paired this super cute panda with the Gift Card Envelope set to create a complete birthday
theme with card, present and all.
I stamped the panda
from the Big Panda stamp set and the present from the Holiday Hugs Stamp set onto some Neenah Solar White
110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Big Panda Dies and Holiday Hugs Dies to die cut them out. I love that
these bears have a special die that allows you to die cut the arms to allow
the her to hold a present. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with
a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Panda: C00/0/1/3/5/7,
R00/20
Present: RV10/21, C1,
RV02/04/06/09
I used the Gift Card Envelope to die cut the envelope and a few flowers out of white, pink and
teal cardstock. I assembled the envelope with liquid adhesive.The smaller die
from the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies was used to die cut a
little notecard to slip into the envelope. This was intended to be a frame die
but I attached all of the parts onto a slightly smaller piece of paper in
order to keep all of the parts together. I trimmed the bottom so that the
notecard was just short enough to fit into the envelope.
For the sentiment, I
stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Big Bold Greetings Stamp set with a pink ink and
die cut it out with the coordinating Big Bold Greetings Dies before adhering it onto the
top of the notecard.
The outer die of
the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace Die was used to die cut a
white panel. I adhered the envelope and bear and decorated the panel with some
of the die cut flowers. Finally, I adhered the panel onto a piece of teal
cardstock before adhering it to a white cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").
Happy Birthday From
All of Us! For my second card, I created a Polaroid-style selfie photo card
featuring the adorable Big Panda and some of his bear friends from the Holiday Hugs and Panda Party Stamp. I thought that this would be a fun way to create a
card from the whole family.
I stamped and colored
the bears and accessories from the Big Panda Stamp, the Holiday Hugs Stamp and
the Panda Party Stamp sets in the same manner as I did for
the first card. The coordinating Big Panda Dies, Holiday Hugs Dies, and Panda Party Dies were used to die cut them
out.
COPIC COLORS:
Brown Bear 1:
E50/51/53/33/35, W5/7, R00/20
Pandas:
C00/0/1/3/5/7, R00/20
Brown Bear 2:
E50/51/53/33, E25/27/29, R00/20
Red: R22/24/29
Blue: B000/00/02/04
For the
Polaroid-style frame, I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x
5.5") and used the third largest die from the Stitched Square Dies set to cut out the square
opening. I pieced together the sentiment using the words from the Panda Party Stamp, Everyday Greetings Stamps and Inside Greetings - Holiday Stamps. The sentiment was
stamped onto the frame with Versafine Onyx Black and Versafine Satin Red inks.
For the background, I
took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and lightly
ink blended with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. I added a few dots with a
Copic marker (B00) and a white gel pen to resemble confetti. I used the Polaroid
frame to layout the colored images. Once I achieved the layout that I wanted, I
adhered the colored images to the inked panel and trimmed off any of the excess
parts hanging off the edges. I adhered the
Polaroid frame to the front of the card before adhering the entire panel to a
white cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").
As always, I
