Preppy Prints Paper Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here today, and I have a postcard-style birthday card to share featuring the sweet bear from the Holiday Hugs set and a fun patterned paper from the Preppy Prints 6 x 6 Paper. So let’s get started.

I stamped the adorable bear and present images from the Holiday Hugs Stamps, the party hat and present from the Foxy Friends Stamps, and the cupcake from the Panda Party Stamps set onto Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Holiday Hugs Dies and the postage stamp die from the Gift Card Envelope Dies to die-cut them out. I also used the Gift Card Envelope Dies set to die-cut 3 postage stamps to create frames out of red cardstock. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Bear: E51/53/33/35/99, W5/7, R00/20, R20
Scarf: R35/37, Y38 YR04, Y15/17, YG03/25, BG45/49, V04/06
Large Present: BG10/53/45, R35/37
Party Hat: R35/37
Cupcake: E42, Y38 YR04, Y15, Y38
Small Present: BG53/45/49, YG03/25

For the layout, I took 2 pieces of white cardstock (5.25” x 4"). I lightly ink-blended the edges of one with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. I trimmed a sliver off the edges to remove the harsh inked edges and adhered it to the top of the second piece of white cardstock to create a slim white border. I adhered the panel to a piece of patterned paper from the Preppy Prints 6 x 6 Paper (5.5” x 4.25”) to add a fun pop of colors to the edge. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the sentiments from the Inside Greetings - Birthday Stamps directly onto the panel with red and black ink. I drew a couple of lines to resemble a postcard with a black pen. I adhered the stamps to the upper right corner of the postcard. Finally, I adhered the panel to a white A2 cardbase (5.5” x 4.25”). 

Thank you for 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 inspiration.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Sweet As Can Bee Cards with June Helsen

Hello everyone, it's June Helsen again with some new cards using the latest release! I'm so happy I was invited as a guest designer for this release, because it has one of my favorite things in it: bees! Well I don't like actual bees, but when it comes to stamps I LOVE them! So that counts.

The first card I created combines the new Sweet As Can Bee stamp set with an older one, Holiday Hugs. It's always so great when you can use your holiday sets year round by making some adjustments, and this one is perfect for that. A bear with a striped scarf? Isn't that the perfect image to use together with these bees and their pot of honey? 

I made a background using the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal and the Diagonal and Straight Stripes stencils. These 2 layer perfectly to create a summery plaid pattern with lots of texture. I framed my scene using the largest of the Fancy Frames Rectangle dies. I tucked the bear and bee trails into the frame, but layered the honey dipper and pot on top so it looks like the bear is coming out of the frame.

I finished my card by adding one of the sentiments from the Sweet As Can Bee stamp set. I always love it when a sentiment has a matching die, so I just had to use the 'Honey Bee'!

My second card is equally as colorful and uses the same bees, this time with a honeycomb instead. I cut a square from the light green woodgrain paper that's in the Amazing Argyle Paper Pack and cut a smaller one from white cardstock, which I blended some green ink on. I also added ink splatters for some more texture. I framed that square using some of the Fancy Frames Square dies, one in brown and one in blush cardstock. I popped the frame up on some foam tape to make it stand out a bit more.

I created a scene with my Sweet As Can Bee stamped images where the bees are flying out of and around the honeycomb. I tucked some flowers around it to add another pop of color to match the frame. To finish my card, I used the same 'Honey' I used before in a different sentiment. 

I love how colorful these 2 cards turned out! I always love a good pop of yellow in a card design, so there might be a reason I always love bee stamps so much! I hope you enjoyed reading about my cards, and I hope you're all enjoying the newly released products equally as much. Bye everyone!

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!
