Bighearted Bears Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a Valentine’s card pairing the sweet Bighearted Bears Stamps with a fun bold sentiment from the My Heart Stamps.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Bighearted Bears Valentine's Day Card by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring Heartstring Border Dies, Bursting Hearts Dies, Quilted Heart Dies, My Heart)

I chose a soft pink, cream and gray color scheme to really make those adorable pandas take center stage. I started by cutting a piece of cream cardstock 3 1/2" x 4 1/4" and inked it with Spun Sugar and Saltwater Taffy Distress inks just short of the edges of the cardstock. I splattered a little watered down Dr. Ph Martin’s Bleed Proof White with a fan brush. After the piece was completely dry, I heat embossed the sentiment from the My Heart Stamps with white embossing powder. I then adhered this piece to the top of a white A2 card base.

Next, I cut a piece of gray cardstock 2” x 4 1/4" and die-cut it using the Quilted Hearts Portrait Die. I adhered this to the bottom of the card front. I cut a piece of cream cardstock 1/2" x 4 1/4" and die-cut it using a Heartstrings Border Die. I adhered this to a 1/4" x 4 1/4" strip of black cardstock overlapping it until just a thin portion of the black strip was visible. I then adhered this combined piece along the top edge of the gray cardstock. Using another die from the Heartstrings Border Dies, I die-cut a piece of pink cardstock and adhered the small hearts to the cream die-cut piece.

To finish, I stamped the bears on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I added a few extra hearts by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock using the Bursting Hearts die, inked them with Saltwater Taffy Distress ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder for a little shine.

Sneak Peek: Introducing Special Day Stamps with Summer Release Video

Hello and welcome to the final day of our Sneak Peek Week!  In case you are just joining us, each day this week I have been showcasing projects using our newest Summer collection which is now available to purchase in our store. Before you run off to shop though, I hope you will join me for a closer look at one last new product that I'm super excited for!

I've also created a special video sharing the full summer release, as well as a closer look at each of the projects I made with it (you can watch it on our YouTube Channel HERE).


Card No. 1:
I'd like to think I saved the best for last. Today I'm featuring one last new 4x6 stamp set called Special Day. This set includes two different adorable multi-layered cakes, numbered candles, cake toppers, and a fabulously versatile "Happy Birthday" greeting that I have fallen in love with!

For this card, I started by inking my A2-sized card panel with Salty Ocean Distress ink, fading it out towards the top of my panel, and splattering it with water to give my background a speckled appearance. I then added three of our new Crepe Paper Streamers along the top of my card which I cut out from white cardstock and colored with my Copic Markers to match my 
rainbow ombre cake. I added the "4" and "0" numbered candles to the top of my cake to celebrate my sister's 40th birthday. For my greeting, I used the oversized "happy birthday" phrase from our Big Bold Greetings Stamps and added the phrase "to the best" from our Teacher Appreciation Stamps and the word "sister" from both our Tea-riffic Stamps and Outback Critters Stamps.

Card No. 2: For this card featuring the Special Day Stamps I created a wedding card. I love how these cute cakes can be used for so many different occasions, including weddings, anniversaries and holidays like Valentine's Day! I started by adhering a pink quilted heart print to my card base using a patterned paper from our Flirty Flowers Paper pack and then added the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace scalloped mat over the top. 

Sunny Studio Best Wishes Scalloped Wedding Cake Bridal Card (using Special Day & Everyday Greetings Stamps, Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace Dies, Flirty Flowers Paper)

Detail View: The cake and die did most of the heavy lifting for me so I was able to keep the rest of my card fairly simple, just cutting a sentiment strip using the stitched edge dies from our Ribbon & Lace Border Dies and heat embossing my "best wishes" sentiment using our Everyday Greetings Stamps with Hero Arts Brass Embossing Powder.

Card No. 3: Next up, I have an anniversary card pairing the heart three-tier cake & cake topper from our new Special Day Stamps. I started by repeatedly cutting our loopy heart border from teal cardstock using our Heartstring Border Dies which I mounted onto a solid sheet of cardstock in the same color for a textured, tone-on-tone look that almost gives the appearance of being embossed. I then mounted my cake pieces using foam tape and added a curved banner overhead from our Banner Basics Stamps and heat embossed by anniversary sentiment using a greeting from our Happy Thoughts Stamps. It was feeling like missing a little something so I completed my card by adding the scalloped eyelet lace border from our Ribbon & Lace Border Dies.

Card No. 4: For this card using the floral cake from the Special Day Stamps, I colored my cake a mint green color with pink peonies, adding both the flower to the top, along with the set of 5 birthday candles. I heat-embossed my greeting from the stamp set onto a piece of coordinating mint cardstock, inking up the bottom portion to match my coloring and shading for the cake and then die-cutting the ends with our Fishtail Banner Dies. For my tone-on-tone pink background, I die-cut a scalloped mat, combining the pieces from our Frilly Frames Polka-dot Dies and our Frilly Frames Lattice Dies. I then framed my cake using our Scalloped Oval Mat 2 Dies.
Sunny Studio Wishing You A Big Slice of Happiness Pink Peony & Mint Birthday Cake Scalloped Card (using Special Day Stamps, Scalloped Oval Mat 2, Frilly Frames Polka-dot & Lattice Dies)

Card No. 5: For this card, I colored my heart cake from the Special Day Stamps with chocolate frosting and hot pink accents using Copic Markers. I added the birthday candles to the top and inked behind them using a little Distress Ink to give the appearance of them glowing. I kept the rest of my card very simple. Before adhering my cake to my card panel, I cut out the phrase "you take the cake" using our Chloe Alphabet Dies and filled the negative space hind the letters using a hot pink dotted print from our Polka-Dot Parade Paper pack. Lastly, I added a thin strip of pink striped paper from our Striped Silly Paper pack along the bottom of my card.
Sunny Studio Chocolate with Hot Pink Hearts 25th Birthday Candles You Take The Cake Card (using Special Day Stamps, Chloe Alphabet Dies, Polka-Dot Parade & Striped Silly Paper)

Card No. 6: For my last card of the day I combined the numbered birthday candles from the Special Day Stamps with our layered Scrumptious Cupcakes Stamps, stacking a number of frostings in different colors. I wanted my background to match my cupcake so I ended up inking up by background by blending PinkFresh Studio Dye Inks to match. I sometimes forget that I can blend any dye inks to create inky backgrounds and I love the way these inks blended together--It really expands my options in terms of color palettes and they created a gorgeous pastel rainbow! I added a white stitched panel to the center of my card to frame my tall cupcake using our Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies and then die-cut 6 Crepe Paper Streamers from white cardstock and inked them up to match the background.

With each new collection, we always have a new free mini die we include automatically with orders placed in our online store. For this release we have a fun mini hibiscus die!

Puppy Love Cards with Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a card featuring the adorable new Puppy Love Stamps that will be available in the upcoming new release!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Puppy Love Love Themed Card by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring Heartstring Border Dies, Lovey Dovey)

I started this card by cutting 2 strips of patterned paper from the Subtle Grey Tones Paper and adhering a strip to the top and bottom of an A2 card base. The top strip is 1/2" x 5 1/2" and the bottom strip is 1” x 5 1/2". (This saves on paper since I have a wide cardstock piece on the card front)

Next, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies and cut the piece to 5 1/2” long. I inked it with Spun Sugar and Saltwater Taffy Distress inks and splattered a little watered down white acrylic paint with a paintbrush. I matted this piece on gray cardstock and adhered it to the card front approximately 3/8” from the top edge of the card and slightly overlapping the paper pieces.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Puppy Love Love Themed Card by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring Heartstring Border Dies, Lovey Dovey)

I die-cut white glitter cardstock using a Heartstrings Border Die and adhered it to the bottom of the inked cardstock piece. I stamped a sentiment from the Lovey Dovey Stamps in gray ink, die-cut it using the coordinating dies and adhered it to the center of the inked cardstock.

I stamped the images from the Puppy Love Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. To finish, I die-cut hearts using the Stitched Heart 2 Dies from white cardstock, inked them with Tattered Rose Distress ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder for a little shine.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Hello Sunny friends, Bobbi here! I hope you’re having a “pawsome” day because today I’m sharing the new Sunny Studio Stamps  set called, Puppy Love stamp set and coordinating dies. This little mighty set offers puppy cuteness and sweet hearts. I used this set to make a 5″ X 7″ card and coordinating smaller, note card.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Puppy Love Love Themed Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Bursting Hearts Die, Mini Mat & Tag Dies)

To create the card, I used one of my favorite Sunny dies called, Bursting Hearts die. I cut it out of black cardstock and since my card is an A7 size, I ran it horizontally across the top of the card. I little strip of gold cardstock finishes the bottom edge.

I stamped the two dogs from the Puppy Love set and colored them in black and gray. I colored the heart in pink, I attached the pup in the middle with some foam tabs to make him stand out and stamped the phrase from the same set in the white space below.

I cut out some hearts from pink cardstock and added them back into the Bursting hearts design to create a focal point on the puppy in the middle. I let the last hearts fall off the edge of the front panel for interest.

For the coordinating smaller note card, I used a white card base and attached a mini mat from the Mini Mat 2 and Tag dies to the front. I added faux black stitching around the edge, the other puppy in the middle and some shadowing below him. I used Luxe Glitter cardstock to fill the heart and stamped smaller hearts colored in pink around the puppy.

Christmas Cookies Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a Christmas card using the adorable Christmas Cookies set. So grab a cuppa and get comfy:

Sunny Studio Stamps: Christmas Cookies Slimline Dies Mug Hugs Christmas Card by Vanessa Menhorn

I first die-cut the stitched panel from Kraft cardstock, matted it with red cardstock and adhered it to the white card base. Now I stamped the images onto white cardstock, colored them with Copic markers and die-cut the elements with the matching dies before adhering everything to the card with foam tape. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the sent

I thought the cute cookie couple needed hot chocolate, so I combined these stamps sets and dies:

Christmas Cookies stamps + dies (girl, boy, sentiment)
Mug Hugs stamps + dies (mugs, sugar canes, marshmallows, stitched heart)
Slimline Scalloped Frame dies (stitched panel)
Fancy Frames Rectangle dies (banner)

I hope you like my take on these cuties! Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hello everyone, Anja here today sharing my project with this year's exclusive mini stamp set called Christmas Cookies.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Christmas Cookies Slimline Dies Sweet Treat Bag Dies Christmas Treat Bag by Anja Bytyqi

Of course I had to turn these cuties into gingerbread cookies and build them a little gingerbread house. For that I used the Sweet Treat Bag Dies along with the Sweet Treat House Add-on Dies.

I die cut the bag base from brown cardstock, inked the edges and added ink splatters with a paint brush. The roof was cut from cream cardstock and I applied sparkly Crystal Stickles to the scalloped edges. It also creates the flap to close the bag and I stuck a small piece of Velcro underneath to keep it shut. I decorated the door with a fir wreath to create a festive look. I thought the pink die-cut borders (
Heartstrings Border Dies and Slimline Basic Border Dies) would make perfect little decor elements, too.

Next, I stamped the gingerbread cookies in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images and adhered them with foam tape. I stamped the heart twice in VersaMark Ink and did some heat embossing with white embossing powder. Finally, I white heat embossed the sentiment onto a pink cardstock banner and popped it up with foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a sweet day!
