Doggone Birthday Card with Nicky

Hello friends, this is Nicky back with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I am sharing a birthday card that I made featuring the new Doggone Birthday mini stamp set from the Spring release. Read on for all the details.

I kicked things off with an A2 panel of white cardstock which I ink blended with Distress Oxide Inks to form a pastel focus in the top right and lower left corners. I then used the Dapper Diamonds Embossing Folder and ran it through my Big Shot to create the interesting background design. I took a second panel of white cardstock and die cut the Fancy Frames Rectangle Die. I glued the smaller frame directly to the background panel and the larger (outer) frame was applied with foam tape. From the negative inner cut I trimmed a piece of 'ground' for my characters to sit on. I ink blended it and glued in place.

I stamped the images from Doggone Birthday and I took the bow tie wearing pup from Happy Howl-o-Ween and stamped him. I coloured, highlighted and die cut the images with the Doggone Birthday dies and Happy Howl-O-Ween dies. Here are the Copic colours used:

Purple - V05, V01, RV00
Yellow - Y21, Y00, Y000
Green - YG41, G40, G20
Dog (left) - E35, E33, W6, W4
Dog (right) - w4, W2, W0
Bones - E43, E41

The die cut images were applied to the scene. I added a little shadow under the pups and a polka dot design to the large gift. I stamped the sentiment and applied the strips with foam tape and then I glittered my little heart out by adding sparkle to all of the ribbons. A few embellishments completed the scene.

Thanks for reading my blog post today, I'll be back next Friday with something brand new!

Happy Howl-o-ween Card with Alma

Happy Halloween, or better yet: Happy Howl-o-ween! Alma here with you, and today, I want to show you a steaming and bubbling card featuring the super cute Happy Howl-o-ween Stamps set.

At the center of my card, I've used the Wood Barrel Die to create a bubbling cauldron, where the sweet dogs from the Happy Howl-o-ween Stamps set are brewing up a spooky soup.

Have you heard about the amazing Mini Shape Dies from Sunny Studio Stamps? They are so versatile and can be used for all kinds of cards. For example, I used the Mini Shape Dies 3 and Mini Shape Dies 4 to cut out the stars, bubbles, and water droplets that fill my cauldron. I colored both the images and the die cuts with Copics, and added shading with pencils. The stars were cut out of glitter paper.

For the base of my card, I used black cardstock and layered it on top of green cardstock. I placed the cauldron in front of some white steam, which I created by blending with a white ink pad. After that, I assembled everything and added white highlights. The sentiment is also from the Happy Howl-o-ween Stamps set.

Now it’s time for you to get spooked – and of course, everyone gets a big sip of the delicious magic potion. Have a magical Halloween night!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Happy Howl-o-ween Card & Tags with Tammy Stark

Hello friends, Tammy Stark here! I'm so excited to be guest designing for Sunny Studio for the newest release! I especially love creating for Halloween, so I was really excited to play with the adorable new set, Happy Howl-o-ween! For my project, I created a fun slimline card so I could get as many of the darling pups as possible!

To begin, I stamped the images from the Happy Howl-o-ween stamp set, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Happy Howl-o-ween Dies. Next, I cut a panel of Bristol smooth cardstock to 3 X 8" and masked off the bottom of the panel with washi tape. I used a circle die from the Stitched Circle Large Die to create a mask. I placed the circle mask onto the panel and inked the background with Milled Lavender, Villainous Potion, and Black Soot Distress inks. I splattered the background with some Villainous Potion ink, then added some white paint splatters. I removed the circle mask and lightly washed it with gray ink to give the mood a little spooky glow. The bottom of the card was inked with brown inks to create a ground for the pups.

Next, I arranged the adorable images onto my card to create a fun scene, and attached them with foam tape for dimension. The sentiment was white embossed onto a black sentiment strip and also attached with foam tape. Lastly, I attached the panel to a white cardstock mat, measuring 3 1/4 X 8 1/4", then onto a black 3 1/2 X 8 1/2" card base to finish up my card.

I also created a fun set of coordinating Halloween tags, using Happy Howl-o-ween. I started by stamping some images from the Happy Howl-o-ween stamp set, coloring with Copic markers, and die cutting with the Happy Howl-o-ween Dies.

To make the tags, I cut 3 white tags using the Scalloped Tag Circle Dies. Next, I cut 3 circles from Bristol smooth cardstock using the Stitched Circle Large Die. Just as the card, I masked off the bottom of the tag and ink blended the top with Milled Lavender, Villainous Potion, and Black Soot Distress inks, also splattering up the background. The bottom was ink blended with brown inks, then attached to the scalloped tags. The colored images were attached to the tags, using foam tape on some for dimension. I white embossed the sentiments onto black cardstock strips, cutting them apart and attaching to the tags with foam tape, then added some black and white bakers twine to finish up my set of tags.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs!
