Cruisin’ Cuisine Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I have a clean, simple and punny card to share with you showcasing the Cruisin’ Cuisine set. Isn’t this food truck just the cutest? This fun set comes with several options of food for decorating the truck. I saw the French fries and couldn’t resist. Who doesn’t love French fries, right???

I stamped the images from the Cruisin’ Cuisine Stamps and the adorable bear from the Holiday Hugs Stamps sets set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I wanted an extra box of French fries for the bear so I masked off the burger half of the clear stamp, inked it up, removed the mask and stamped just the fries. A black pen was used to draw in the lines for the remainder of the french fries box. I used the coordinating Cruisin’ Cuisine Dies and Holiday Hugs Dies to die cut them out. I fussy cut off the excess part of the die cut for the extra box of fries. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Burger: E51/53/33, YG01/03, R14/24, Y17, E33/35
French fries: Y11/15/19 YR23, R14/24/29
Truck: R14/24/29, Y13/15, C1, W5/7, B0000/00
Bear: E50/51/53/33, R000/00/20, W5/7
Scarf: RV10/21
Letters: Y11/15/19 YR23

I kept the background clean and simple with a light ink blending of Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink for a bit of color. I matted the panel with a slightly larger piece of black cardstock.

I couldn’t resist making a punny sentiment for the card. I used the Sydney Alphabet Dies to die cut each of the “FRIES” letters out of white cardstock three times. I colored one set of letters with Copic markers. The letters were stacked and adhered to each other and then the panel with liquid glue. I did some creative masking and partial stamping to create the “I only have” part of the sentiment with sentiments from the Fabulous Flamingos Stamps and Foxy Friends Stamps sets. The “for you” sentiment is from the Fabulous Flamingo set. I trimmed out the sub-sentiments and adhered them to the panel with foam tape.

The extra box of fries was adhered to the bear and the bear was adhered to the panel with foam tape. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25” x 5.5”).

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. Be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Sara Zoppi

Hi crafty friends, Sara here, guesting for the newest Sunny Studio Design collection! Today I have two inspiration cards to show you, and I really hope you will like them. So, let's dive into the first card!

As soon as I saw the newest Sweet as Can Bee Stamp set, I knew I would have paired it with one of my favourite ever Sunny Stamp, the Holiday Hugs Stamp - the big bear is just the perfect match to these adorable small bees. The only "problem" is that it is a winter version of the bear, but let's see how we can easily solve it.

I firstly stamped all the images from the new set with Memento Black ink on some Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, then I took a stamping tool and I carefully inked the big bear, paying attention not to ink the scarf. Aster stamping his head, arms and body, I filled the empty spaces with some Copic friendly fine liner. Then I used the Copics listed below to color the images. I also added the red check details on the honey Jar using a red pencil  and then I die cut everything out. 

- Bear: W10 – W9 – W8 – W7 – W6 – E55 – E53
- Bees: YR23 – YR35 – YR31 – Y11 – W9 – W7 – W6 – R20
- Honey Jar: E97 – YR23 – YR35 – YR31 – Y11 – E71 – E70 – E41 – R89 – R46 – R14 – R20

I then moved into the background. I used the hexagon stamp included in the newest set to create a pattern background, using three different yellow ink which perfectly match to my color palette. I didn't fill all the background, but I tried to leave empty spaces (especially where I planned to have the sentiment of the card). The background hexagon panel measures 3.75"x5".

For the sentiment, I die cut the word BEE from the Chloe Alphabet Dies using a gold sparkly cardstock and a black one of the shaded effect behind, the HAPPY script from the Blooming Frame Die and I white heat embossed the small phrased on some yellow ochre cardstock.

I arranged all the images and words on the background panel and I glued them down (or attached using foam tape to get dimension. To complete the card, I matted the scene with a slightly larger brown sparkly cardstock and then with an A2 white panel. And here's the finished result!

For my second inspiration, I went for a simple one-layer coloring on some colored cardstock. When I have simpler scenes in my mind, I usually love using colored cardstock as my panel, so that I have a colored cardstock. Here I went for a peachy/apricot color.

I love big sentiments and The Graduate Stamps has also a variety of hats and paper rolls to transform almost all the critters of the previous collections into some graduate critters!
 
So, I firstly chose to feature the adorable penguin from Penguin Pair Stamps and I carefully stamped him and his hat and laurea tube. I had to do a small masking with Judikins Masking paper. I then hand drew a pile of three books under him and just a few leaves and flowers.
I colored everything with the Copics listed below.

- Penguin: W10 – W8 – W7 – W6 – E42 – E40 – E97 – YR23
- Hat: N10 – N8 – N7 – N5
- Red combo: R89 – R46 – RV25
- Flower centre: YR23 (for the white petals I used Copic Opaque white)
- Leaves: YG95 (for the stems I used a coordinate Polychromos pencil)
- Books: R22 – R21 – E97  (for the shades, I used coordinated Polychromos pencils)

I then added the sentiment, which comes from the newest The Graduate Stamp and I carefully masked the "grad" word since I wanted only a big Congrats. I added a few shadows with a darker pencil too.

 
When I was happy with the result, I trimmed the panel colored to 5,5"x3,75", I matted it with a green sparkly cardstock and then with an A2 white panel too. To complete the card, I added some yellow sparkly gems on the flower centres and some glow shaded confetti here and there. And here's the finished result!
 
Thanks for stopping by! I really hope you will like my projects and you will be inspired to create something! See you next time!

Loopy Rectangle Frame Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I have a fun card featuring the new Loopy Rectangle Frames. The loopy frame reminded me of the classic phone cord and matched perfectly with the Vintage Valentine set. I thought it would be fun to create a trifold card for this Holiday Hugs bear say Hello to a Big Bunny friend. So, let’s get started.

I stamped the bear from the Holiday Hugs Stamp, bunny from the Big Bunny Stamp and phones from the Vintage Valentine Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the Holiday Hugs Dies, Big Bunny Dies and Vintage Valentine Dies to die cut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Bear: E50/51/53/33, R000/20, W1/5/7
Scarf: R14/24/27, C00/0/1, B000/00/02
Bunny: C00/0/1/3, R000/20
Phone: R14/24/27, C0/1

I used the Loopy Rectangle Frame Dies to die cut two small loopy frames and one large label frame out of red and white cardstock. I saved the white frames for another project and only used the center panels as a background for this card. I also used the same Loopy Rectangle Frame die to trim the bottom edge of the bear and bunny images. 

For the sentiments, I used the new Speech Bubbles Extras Dies to die cut a speech bubble out of blue cardstock. I stamped the “Just ringing to say” sentiment from the Vintage Valentine Stamp set onto the speech bubble with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added the dots with a pen. Next, I used the new Sydney Alphabet Dies to die cut the HELLO twice out of red cardstock. I layered and adhered them to each other and then onto the white label die cut with liquid glue. 

For the Z-fold trifold card base, I used two side-folding A2 card bases. I placed one with the inside facing downward (like a mountain) and one with the inside facing upward (like a valley) and adhered them to each other. I adhered a blue and a pink piece of cardstock (4” x 5.25”) to each of the end panels. 

I adhered used foam tape to adhere the panel and speech bubble to the front blue panel for some dimension. I used liquid glue to adhere the HELLO label to the center panel and the bunny to the last pink panel for a slimmer profile.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Holiday Hugs Valentine's Day Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy New Year! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today, and I am thrilled to share a sweet postcard-style Valentine's Day card featuring the adorable bear from the Holiday Hugs set.

I am currently obsessed with postage and postcard-style cards. I was so excited to pair this cute bear with some stamp die cuts from the Gift Card Envelope Dies and stenciling with the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils to create a postcard-like design. So let's get started.

I stamped the bear and heart images from the Holiday Hugs Stamp onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Holiday Hugs Dies to die cut them out. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Bear: W00/0/1, W1/5/7, R000/20
Scarf: R14//24/29, RV10/21, C0/1
Heart: R14/24/29

For the background, I used the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils and some Candied Apple Distress ink to create a striped border on a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I took another piece of white cardstock and lightly ink-blended some Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink onto the edges. I trimmed a bit off the edges of the pink panel and adhered the two panels together.

For the sentiment, I stamped the "Happy Valentine's Day" sentiment and red heart from the Foxy Friends Stamp set, the "Sending Love &" sentiment from the Big Bunny Stamp set, "Hugs" sentiment from the Holiday Hugs Stamp set and the "Especially For You" sentiment from the Inside Greetings Seasons Stamp set directly onto the pink panel with Versafine Satin Red and Onyx Black inks. I used a black pen to draw in the line and dots to create a separation of the left and right side of the postcard. 

I used the Gift Card Envelopes Dies to die-cut two stamps and the LOVE and XOXO letters out of white, red, and silver cardstock. I affixed them to the upper-right corner of my postcard. I adhered the bear to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a white A2 card base.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I was super happy that I was able to create the postcard design. Be on the lookout, you may see more postcard-style cards from me. I hope you liked my card and are inspired to create your own postcard-style cards to send out. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop.
