Embossing Folder Focused Cards with Juliana and Angelica

Hello friends! It's Juliana here today to share a mixed media style card featuring the new Lots of Dots Embossing Folder.

To get started, I die cut a piece of Bristol Paper using the stitched border die from the Frilly Frames Retro Petals Die. I then embossed this using the Lots of Dots Embossing Folder. Next, I took a rainbow of Distress Oxide inks and applied them at a diagonal  rainbow order across the embossed paper. For this card I used Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Mowed Lawn, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemon, Picked Raspberries and Candied Apple. I then splattered water onto the paper using a small paint brush and dabbed it dry with a paper towel.

To further add to the mixed media style I then splattered a slightly darker Distress Ink onto each section. I used Seedless Preserves, Faded Jeans, Peeled Paint, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, and Festive Berries. To do this, I tapped the ink pad onto my glass mat, added a bit of water and then picked up the ink and water with a small paint brush and splattered it into the corresponding section of color.

Once the background was complete, I then went about adding the sentiment. I die cut the Rainbow Word Die from black cardstock 3 times and glued them together. I then stamped the sentiments from the Over The Rainbow Stamp Set onto white cardstock and trimmed it into small strips.

Since you can't have a rainbow without a little rain, I decided to add some clouds cut from white cardstock using the Fluffy Clouds Dies. I then finished it off with some Clear Drops Mix #2 to represent the rain!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed this mixed media style card featuring the Lots of Dots Embossing Folder.

Hi friends, Angelica here with a set of Hello cards showcasing the Moroccan Circles Embossing Folder. These cards are great to have on hand, and are an easy gift to make for a loved one. 

I started with three panels of white card stock. I put each panel into the embossing folder and ran it through my die-cut machine. I picked the back-side of the embossed panels to add ink to. 

I used ink cubes to add color. I picked a light and a medium light ink from a few Altenew color families. I rubbed the the ink cubes directly onto the paper, using light pressure in a circular motion. I blended light into medium light twice on each panel. Once I was finished, I set the panels aside to dry.

I used the Hello die to die-cut twelve words from black card stock. I glued and stacked two words together for each card. I made six card bases, and used my MISTI to stamp a sentiment onto each card from the Cute As A Button stamp set.  

My last step before assembling the cards was getting envelopes ready. I picked coordinating colors, put the back flap of each envelope into the Moroccan Circles embossing folder, and ran them through my die-cut machine. 

I cut each panel down to two small rectangles, and used double-sided adhesive to attach the rectangles to the card bases. I added the words with glue to finish the cards. 

I love how these cards turned out. And the embossed envelopes finish the set with a wonderful subtle touch. hope I have given you new ideas on how to use embossing folders. Thanks for stopping by!

Elegant Leaves Cards with Ana and Franci

Hello everyone! It's Ana here today sharing three cards featuring gorgeous Elegant Leaves stamps and coordinating dies as well as patterned paper packs from the newest fall 2019 release.

For my first card I have used Elegant Leaves stamp set and Staggered Circles Dies. To start, I have placed Staggered Circles Die on a piece of white cardstock and penciled the placement of each circle. I aligned the stamps onto each circle next, then used mini ink pads to create multiple colors on each leaf.

This technique is easy to achieve if you have a stamping platform and don't mind getting your fingers inky! As I stamped each color, I wiped off the rough edges mini ink cubes created. I started with the darkest color in the middle of each image and worked my way out to the lightest, making sure the colors mix. I did not clean the stamp between each color.

For the colors, I used several different brands of inks in dark and medium browns, rust, mustard, dark yellow and green.

Once all the stamping was done, I die cut circles using Staggered Circles Dies and adhered the panel on a piece of beautiful patterned paper from Colorful Autumn Paper Pack. I heat embossed the sentiments, added some splatter and few pearls to finish the card.

I decided to make a shaker card for my second project. I used Colorful Autumn Patterned paper for the background. I die cut a circle in the middle creating a shaker opening and backed the panel with patterned paper from Heroic Halftones Patterned Paper pack. For my shaker elements, I used rainbow Clay Flower Confetti. 

I stamped the Thankful sentiment (from Elegant Leaves stamp set) with 3 shades of blue ink, creating an ombre effect, then fussy cut it out. The leaves were stamped with brown ink, colored with alcohol markers then tucked behind the sentiment. I white heat embossed the rest of the sentiment.

Completed panel was adhered to A2 size card base.

For my third card I used Stitched Oval Dies to create white oval frame as well as an opening in the brown background panel. I used Dapper Diamonds Embossing Folder to create the pattern on the background panel then added white oval frame with foam tape.

I heat embossed the sentiment directly on the card base, added some shading with Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the sentiment, then adhered the background panel to the card base.

I heat embossed the leaves from Elegant Leaves stamp set, colored them with alcohol markers and die cut with coordinating dies. I arranged the leaves around the oval frame, tucked few inside of the frame, them embellished the card with brown gems.

Thank you so much for visiting today! I really hope you liked the cards I have shared today and got inspired. Have a wonderful day!

Hello there and happy Wednesday! Franci here with you today with my first card featuring the new release which I adore!! Here I'm showcasing the new Elegant Leaves set with a special card, totally out of my comfy zone but super fun to make!

First of all I stamped all the leaves on to my white panel, I let them dry completely and I watercolored them with light colors. I also added some sparkle watercolors splatters here and there. I had this idea in my mind: making a dreamy fall leaves patterned paper - I'm so happy about how it turned out.

Then I die cut the word Hello twice out of chocolate cardstock, I glued the layers together and added a coat of Glossy Accents. I also die cut a little heart out of sparkle gold paper using the mini die included in the Comic Strip Everyday Dies set. 

I glued my panel on to a white card base, I added some white twine, some vellum and glued everything down. Finally I also added some white embellishments.

Hope you like my card and thank you so much for stopping by!

Surprise Party Cards with Franci and Mona

Hello there and happy Wednesday! Franci here with you today with a couple of clean and simple hello cards.

It's super, super hot here and I have no air conditioning. So not the best to sit and craft! Ha! So I made a bunch of cards that are cute, colorful and quick to make.

First of all I created my card base out of white cardstock and added dry embossed details with my scoring board. Then I cut out a little rectangle out of this bright rainbow pattern paper included in the Surprise Party set and die cut the Hello in the center.

I kept all the little inside pieces and glued the negative down with foam tape. I love this style! I added some sparkling sequins and I repeated every step to make multiple cards.

Hope you like them and thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hi crafty friends! It's Mona here, today I am showing you my last project as a design team member. I hope you will love it. Because of summer I thought that today I am going to show you a child friendly memory game project, so you can craft together a puzzle game.

My project for today is super easy-peasy. I made a couple of popsicles with the coordinating die of the Perfect Popsicles stamp set and the Surprise Party Paper.

I chose colorful papers and I made stamp layering on a few of them where I used color matching ink pad, so I could create the tone in tone look. I just embellished a few popsicles with another paper from the collection.

To the back of my popsicles I chose a rainbow dotted paper from the Surprise Party Paper pad and adhered it to the back.

I think this project would be soo much fun for every child, and when its done you can play with your own handmade game in the summer. 

I am extremely thankful for all your sweet and kind comments for this half year, if you want to see my other inspirations feel free to follow me. Big crafty hugs, bye.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Amy Kolling

Hello! Amy Kolling here and am very excited to be a guest on the Sunny Studios blog today. I have two cards to share that really focus on the spring season … my favorite! 

Hibiscus is one of my favorite flowers … they are so gorgeous. The Hawaiian Hibiscus stamps are so incredible detailed with all the layers! One little detail these stamps have is that they are numbered so you know exactly which layer is next to stamp!

I stamped my hibiscus in shades of orange, yellow, and coraly reds. Using the coordinating dies, they were each die cut along with the leaves. I wanted the hibiscus to be the focus on my card so I kept the rest bright white by layering them on a white Frilly Frames Striped Dies. A simple die cut Hello in bold black cardstock was adhered along with a few white gems. 

Rainbows seem to be everywhere and they certainly bring happiness and sunshine, right? I love the sentiments and elements from Sunny Sentiments. I created my own rainbow using ¼’ strips of colored cardstock. Each strip was added to a scrap piece of white cardstock to adhere easily. My rainbow measures 1 ½’ wide. I added the rainbow to the center and went to work on the other elements.

The stitched cloud stamps are adorable along with the sun that was stamped with a smiley face. The cloud was the perfect place to add part of my sentiment in black ink. For the rest of my sentiment, it was stamped at the bottom of a strip of green cardstock that was die cut with the grass border die from Sunny Sentiments Dies. A few bees were added with foam adhesive along with my clouds and cute sun which was embellished with some crystal Stickles.

Thanks for joining me here today!!
