Big Bunny Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and I am super excited to share this sweet Easter card with you. Isn’t this the cutest Big Bunny you have ever seen? The stamp set comes with several accessories and the matching dies also cut the little paws so bunny can easily hold the flowers, letter or Easter items. I really love this larger size of stamp, similar to the adorable bear from Holiday Hugs.

I don’t often make yellow cards but for this one I went all out using a bright background created with the outer die from Frilly Frames Polka Dots, the Dotted Diamond Landscape cover plate and a paper from my stash. After gluing this piece directly to a white card base, I started working on my envelop using the Gift Card Envelope die. Of course, I selected a fun flower pattern from Spring Fever.

Next, I stamped and die cut the adorable bunny and the flower bouquet from Big Bunny and used the pattern paper as my inspiration for the Copic coloring. Some soft pastel tones this time which is perfect for Spring and warmer days to come.

The ‘Easter’ sentiment was selected from the same set (Big Bunny) and stamped onto a small white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink. The Big Bunny Dies include the word ‘Greetings’ so after stamping I could use the matching die. The combined sentiment fitted nicely on the back flap of the envelope. Finally, I tucked the sweet bunny inside the envelope, put the bouquet in his little paws and added this piece to the yellow backdrop. I love that it completely fills an A2 card size! A few Gold Jewels were the only embellishment this project needed.

I had a lot of fun creating this cute card and I hope to see your creations soon! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Gift Card Envelope Die Focused Gift Tags with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here and today I'm sharing some unique Valentine gift tags made with the new Envelope Gift Card dies. I thought this set would make fun tags to attach to some Valentine goodie bags I'm going to give to my family.  

These are so easy to make with the envelope die included in this set. I simply die some envelopes from a few different colors of card stock then folded the bottom and side flaps in and secured with adhesive. To make them into tags, I punched a small hole in the left corner and tied on some twine.  

Now of course I had to make some fun little note cards to tuck into these envelope tags. The note cards are 3 inches tall and 3 3/8 inch wide. I added some ink blending and splatters to the cards before adding the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment which comes from the My Heart set. 

When the note cards are pulled out of the envelope completely, there's a little surprise decoration revealed. I used images and word stamps from Big Hearted Bears to create simple scenes along the bottom of the note cards. I also decorated the outside of the envelopes.

There's word and heart dies included in the Envelope Gift Card set for this purpose. These were so fun to make and I have a feeling I'll be using this die set a lot for making little envelope tags for other holidays and occasions.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Bighearted Bears Cards with Ashlee Bellinger

Hey, Sunny Studio friends it's Ashlee and I'm super excited to be back again with another guest post here at Sunny Studio Stamps. I'm also excited because I got to create with some of the brand new release that's available celebrating Spring and Valentine's.

Here are the products I used for my first card :

- Bighearted Bears Stamps / Bighearted Bears Dies

- Dotted Diamond Portrait die

- My Heart Stamps / My Heart Dies

To create this card I started with a dark pink card stock base. I then got a light pink card and added a touch of ink blending to it with Catherine Pooler ink before splattering it with water giving it a mottled effect. Once that was dry I die-cut it using the Dotted Diamond Portrait die before adhering it to the card base. 

Now it was time to add all the super cute elements to create a Valentine-themed card. 

Using the My Heart Stamps I selected one of the sentiments and heat embossed it on black card stock using WOW! Opaque bright white embossing powder before die cutting it with the coordinating My Heart Dies and adhering in place with liquid glue.

I stamped, coloured and die-cut a bunch of the Bighearted Bears images. These were all coloured using Spectrum noir tri-blend markers with added white pen highlights. Using foam tape I added varying depths of the tape to the back of all the images so I could adhere them in place and create dimension on the card with the sweet little scene! To complete the card I added a touch of pretty sequins.

Onto my second card. For this one, I used these products :

- Bighearted Bears stamp / Bighearted Bears Dies

- Dotted Diamond Portrait Die

- My Heart Stamps / My Heart Dies

- Gift Card Envelope Die

To create this one I started with a light grey card stock base, added some Catherine Pooler grey ink and then splattered with water creating the same effect for the card base as I did for my first card. Die cut also using the dotted diamond die. 

The new Gift Card Envelope Die is too cute, I couldn't resist using that to add a sweet little envelope to the centre of my card. I die-cut it from light pink card stock before folding and adhering it into place. I also wanted it to look like it had a little letter inside so I cut a piece of white card to add inside it.

I stamped, coloured and die-cut three of the Bighearted Bears before adhering them in place with foam tape on the little card. All coloured using Spectrum noir tri-blend markers with added white pen highlights!

This sentiment was also heat embossed using WOW! Opaque bright white powder on black cardstock before die-cutting with the coordinating die and adhering to the envelope with foam tape for more dimension. I love using foam tape on my cards just to make the scene pop up off the card.

And of course, to finish it all off a touch of sequins, I just can't go without adding some!

That's all for my cards today, I really hope you enjoyed them and thank you for having me as a guest here with you all at Sunny Studio Stamps. Big crafty hugs!

Gift Card Envelope Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today we are integrating the cute Gift Card Envelope die into a card design. Of course, this die is totally adorable on its own and you can create the sweetest little card projects. But I thought it would be fun to create a little scene and have a Garden Fairy fly out of the envelope!

To start, I created a white A2 card base and grabbed a colorful flower paper from the Flirty Flowers pack. This set is one of my favorites, not only do you get gorgeous pastel colors, but one side of the papers has a heart pattern whilst the other side are flowers. I love having these versatile paper pads that give you a ton of options! For this fairytale card I opted for a beautiful purple tone and cut the panel with the outside border die from Frilly Frames Chevron. I glued this piece directly to the card base.

For my Gift Card Envelope I selected another purple paper, polka dots this time from the Dots & Stripes Pastels pad. The envelope is very easy to assemble, I just used a few strips of narrow double-sided tape to connect the flaps.

Next, I stamped and die cut my elements for the scene from the Garden Fairy and Garden Critters sets. All the coloring was done with my favorite medium, being Copic markers. I kept the color palette simple sticking with purples, pinks, and blues. Isn’t it great that in cardmaking you can have pink mushrooms and ladybugs!

For a grassy border I used the same paper as the background and one of the Mini Grass Border dies. I placed all the elements I had so far on my card and decided I needed a big bold sentiment. Since I am always in need of birthday cards I used this sentiment from the Big Bold Greetings set and cut it with the matching die. Another set that is an absolute staple piece for any craft room!

Finally, I mounted the envelope to the card base and build the scene. I love how the fairy seems to fly out! Lastly, I added the sentiment and a few pink gems from the Pastel Jewels mix.

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Gift Card Envelope Die Focused Mini Cards with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back on the blog today with this trio of colorful Gift Card Envelopes and their matching mini cards. I went for a rainbow birthday theme, and brought back the kitties from Birthday Cat for the occasion.

I started off by stamping my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Graph'it brush markers and Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers.

Here is the detailed list of the stamp sets I used: ● Birthday Cat for the kitty cupcakes, cats, small cupcake and party hat ● Balloon Rides for a banner ● Special Day for the hearts.

Next I cut three gold glitter "Happy" using a Treat Bag Topper die, and white heat embossed three "purrthday" from Birthday Cat on dark grey banners. And I also cut three postage stamp frames using a Gift Card Envelope die.

I cut three envelopes out of different Spring Sunburst papers using the main Gift Card Envelope die, and because I wanted to add images on the front of the envelopes but with a muted background, I also cut three 3,25 x 2 inches vellum panels. I attached a few items on each of those vellum panels: a "happy" word + a "purrthday" banner + cupcake postage stamp + images using 1mm foam squares and liquid glue, and then I stuck a vellum panel on the front of each envelope using liquid glue.

Next I created three mini birthday cards to put inside each of my envelopes. I cut three 3,25 x 2 inches Dots & Stripes Pastels panels, and three 3 x 1,75 inches vellum panels. I white heat embossed a different greeting from Birthday Cat on each vellum panel, attached the remaining images on the vellum panels using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck the vellum panels on the bigger panels using liquid glue.

As always I finished my projects by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and I also added glitter to each heart for a sparkling touch. 

And that's it! I hope that these envelopes and mini cards will inspire you. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Treat Bag Topper Die Treat Bags with Leanne

Hello friends, Leanne here! If you are looking for a fun way to give someone a little treat, I have just the thing... a cocoa bomb treat bag with coordinating topper.  The new Treat Bag Topper die makes it so easy to kick your treat bags up a notch. I found some 4"x6" clear food safe party bags at my local craft store that are the perfect size to hold a cocoa bomb and attach the bag topper to.  

I started by die cutting the bag topper from 110lb white card stock.  To decorate the topper, I added die cut hearts and a little mug of cocoa.  The heart dies are found in two different die sets - Stitched Heart 2 and Gift Card Envelope.  The little mug dies come from Warm & Cozy.  

To finish the bag topper, I added a fun sentiment. I stamped "you're the" which comes from the Passionate Penguins set. With the Hayley Uppercase Alphabet dies I was able to spell out the word "bomb".  

I added some mini marshmallows, tiny heart sprinkles, a small stirring spoon, and one cocoa bomb into each bag. I then used some strong adhesive tape to attach the decorated topper to the bags.  These will be perfect Valentine gifts to give to friends and family.

My Heart Card with Tammy

Hello friends, Tammy here with a fun Valentine's themed project, featuring the stamp set, My Heart. I love making mini cards and had so much fun turning these sweet critters into shaped mini cards with a Gift Card Envelope. These will be my girls' Valentine's this year; along with a gift card and little chocolate! 

To begin, I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut images from the following sets:
Big Bunny/ Big Bunny Dies
Holiday Hugs/ Holiday Hugs Dies

Next, I created the mini cards by scoring a piece of white cardstock in half, then placed the bear and bunny dies just slightly over the edge of the fold, and ran through my die cut machine. I attached the colored images to the front of the mini cards, then stamped the inside using sentiments from Bighearted Bears in red ink.

Using the Gift Card Envelope Dies, I die cut little red and pink envelopes from the Classic Gingham and Gingham Pastels Paper. Lastly, I stamped the beautiful Valentine sentiments in both red and pink ink using the My Heart stamp set. I then die cut the stamped images using the My Heart Dies and attached them to the front of the gift card envelopes with foam tape to complete my project! 

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you next time!
