Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Tina Smith

Cool down this summer with some wintery holiday hugs! Hello Crafty Friends, my name is Tina Smith and I am super excited to be joining Sunny Studio this month as a Guest Designer on their Blog celebrating their amazing Fall/Holiday Release. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Holiday Hugs and Woolen Mittens Holiday Cards and Tags by Tina Smith

Today I get the pleasure of creating with the Woolen Mitten Die set and the Holiday Hugs Stamps. I created a tag with a treat, a heartwarming A2 card, and a snowflake-filled mitten-shaped card.   

Sunny Studio Stamps: Holiday Hugs Holiday Card by Tina Smith (featuring Icing Border Dies, Stitched Arch Dies)

For my first project, I created an A2 card with the adorable Holiday Hugs Stamp set along with the Coordinating Holiday Hugs Die Set. I love that you can die-cut the arms of the bear and tuck lots of cute images in them. I colored my bear & present with Copic markers and used the Sunny Studio Stitched Arch Die set to place him on. I ink-blended the arch and my card base with inks and added a fun border frame using the Sunny Studios Icing Borders Die Set.

For my second project, I created a shaped card with the Woolen Mittens Die Set. I embossed a mitten panel for the front with the Quilted Hearts Embossing Folder and ink blended the edges & cuff filling in the mitten with stitched details and snowflakes. I created a tag with the Stitched Arch Die set and stamped my greeting from the Holiday Hugs Stamp set. I embellished the top right of the mitten with die-cut holly and buttons adding color by inking the edges, I threaded the buttons and created a bow with twine and ribbon.

For my final project, I created a fun tag with a treat. I used the Holiday Hugs Stamp, coloring the cute bear with Copic markers. I created a tag with the Stitched Arch Die set, embossing it with the Lots of Dots Embossing Folder and inking the edges. I placed a swirl border at the bottom of the tag using the Icing Borders Die set. I adorned my tag with a button and holly from the Woolen Mitten Die Set and some white ribbon. A small candy will fit perfectly in the arm of the bear, I suggest a miniature chocolate to make your tags extra sweet this Holiday Season!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Scrumptious Cupcake Card with Leanne West

Hello everyone, Leanne West here with you! Can you believe it's almost summer? There are lots of summer birthdays in my family so I always like to restock my stash of birthday cards in June. I came up with a birthday card design using the fun images from Scrupmtious Cupcakes which I can duplicate easily. It's a mini slimline card which measures 6.25" long by 3.5" wide.  

Sunny Studio Stamps: Scrumptious Cupcakes Birthday Card by Leanne West (featuring Icing Border Dies, Inside Greetings)

For this sample, I have chosen pink as the primary color with yellow, chocolate brown, and red as the accent colors. I plan on making many more but change the pink out for other colors like aqua blue, lavender, or mint green. I figure I can use the recipients favorite color. Each card will have a row of four cupcakes, some cherries, and the Happy Birthday greeting across the length of the card. I've used one of the Icing Border dies to frame in this row. Even though the die only cuts a 5.5" long border piece, I was able to glue two together seamlessly to cover the full length of my mini slimline card.

To kick this card design up a notch, I've highlighted the swirls of cupcake icing with some Stickles Glitter Glue. Stickles is always such easy way to give anything a touch of sparkle. I've added Glossy Accents over the cherries to make them really shiny and fresh looking. And lastly I decided to add an additional sentiment below the big Happy Birthday greeting. You would't have to do this but I felt it balanced the design out nicely. This sentiment comes from the Inside Greetings Birthday stamp set.  

Ink colors used for stamping: Altenew Crisp Dye Ink - Baby Pink, Fuchsia, Buttercream, Warm Sunshine, Fresh Leaf, Pink Pearl, Coral Bliss, Heart Beat; brown ink color is Catherine Pooler Icing On the Cake

Special Day Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a card featuring this gorgeous cake from the Special Day Stamps! I love a peachy orange/lime green color scheme as the weather gets warmer and I think this would make for a perfect summer wedding congrats card.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Special Day Wedding Card by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring Icing Border Dies, Spring Greenery, Stitched Rectangle Dies)

I started this card by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock using the largest Stitched Rectangles Die. On the top half of the piece, I stamped a small rose from the Everything’s Rosy Stamps multiple times in Versamark ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I then lightly inked over the roses with Lost Shadow Distress ink.

Next, I die-cut a second piece of white cardstock with the same Stitched Rectangle Die, cut it straight across at 2” and inked it in a gradient from light to dark using Dried Marigold Distress ink. I heat embossed the “congrats” sentiment from the Everything’s Rosy Stamps with black embossing powder 1/2" from the bottom of the cardstock.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Special Day Wedding Card by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring Icing Border Dies, Spring Greenery, Stitched Rectangle Dies)

For a little extra fanciness, I die-cut an Icing Border Die from white cardstock, adhered it at the top of the Dried Marigold piece and trimmed the excess from the right and left edges. I also die-cut 3 tabs from the Notebook Tabs Dies from white cardstock, adhered one centered on the Dried Marigold piece below the Icing Border and adhered the other 2 tabs to each side, trimming the excess from the edges. To cover where the tabs meet, I stamped a flower from the Fabulous Flamingos Stamps twice on white cardstock using Versamark ink and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I then used a water brush and painted the inside of the flowers using yellow and orange inks. I die-cut the flowers using the coordinating dies and adhered them where the tabs meet. I adhered the Dried Marigold piece to the bottom of the Stitched Rectangle die-cut, matted the piece on silver cardstock and adhered it to an A2 card base.

Next, I inked 2 pieces of white cardstock (one with Twisted Citron Distress ink and one with Mowed Lawn Distress ink) and die-cut leaves using the Spring Greenery Dies. I adhered these above the Dried Marigold piece. To keep a light and airy feel to the card, I stamped the cake from the Special Day Stamps in light gray ink on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored it with Copics and die-cut it using the coordinating dies. To make the cake stand out a bit more and balance the black sentiment, I die-cut a piece of black cardstock with the coordinating cake die, cut the top portion of the cake off leaving just the cake stand portion and adhered the colored cake slightly overlapping the black die-cut. I then adhered the cake over the leaves with foam tape.

On the inside of the card, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Special Day Stamps with black embossing powder on white cardstock and die-cut it using a label die from the Sliding Window Dies. I then inked the die-cut with Dried Marigold Distress ink. I stamped a rose from the Special Day Stamps in light gray ink, colored it with Copics and die-cut it using the coordinating dies.

Joyful Holiday Paper Focused Cards with Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here today with a card featuring some of my favorite papers from the Joyful Holiday Paper. I just love the beautiful bold poinsettia prints in this paper pack and the colors are so fun and fresh for the Holidays!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Joyful Holiday Paper Focused Christmas Card by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring Icing Border Dies, Frilly Frame Dies, Rustic Winter Dies, Reindeer Games, Classy Christmas)

To start, I cut the pink poinsettia paper 3” x 5 1/2", centered a Stitched Semi-Circle Die along the bottom 5 1/2" edge and die-cut the paper. I adhered this piece to the top of an A2 card base. I die-cut the gray snowflake paper using the same die. Before I adhered it to the card front, I die-cut a tree from the Rustic Winter Dies from white and dark gray cardstock and adhered the tree to the left side trimming the excess along the top edge of the semi-circle.

Next, I cut the pink polka dot paper 1” x 5 1/2" and adhered it to the bottom of the card front. To create the double scalloped edges, I cut a piece of white glitter cardstock and dark brown cardstock 1 “ x 5 1/2" and die-cut the bottom edge of each piece using the Icing Border Dies. I overlapped the pieces and adhered them across the bottom of the semi-circle. For extra interest, I cut a piece of gray cardstock 5/8” x 5 1/2" and die-cut along the center of the strip using an Frilly Frame Eyelet Lace Die. I adhered this across the top edge of the glitter cardstock. I love that little bit of extra detail.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Joyful Holiday Paper Focused Christmas Card by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring Icing Border Dies, Frilly Frame Dies, Rustic Winter Dies, Reindeer Games, Classy Christmas)

I stamped the cute reindeer from the Reindeer Games Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored it with Copics and die-cut it using the coordinating dies. The large poinsettia from the Classy Christmas Stamps goes beautifully with the poinsettia paper and I decided to fussy cut the image and pop it up with foam tape to really make it stand out.

To finish, I die-cut the gray/white plaid paper using the tag die from the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies, heat embossed the sentiment and added a Pure White Jewel over the hole in the tag.

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 crafty friends. It’s Bobbi here and I’m sharing a few peppermints and shiny candies on this cute gingerbread house covered in fun holiday papersI’m using the Gingerbread House dies with the new Joyful Holiday pattern paper pack and the cute penguins from the Penguin Party stamp set and dies. Inside, I also used one of the sentiments from the Holiday Greetings stamps and dies.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Joyful Holiday Paper Focused Christmas Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Gingerbread House Dies, Penguin Party, Holiday Greetings)

To make this gingerbread house, I cut the elements from the vibrant and coordinating paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper pack and Neenah 80lb. Classic Crest Solar White cardstock for the white elements. I also used a blue-violet color cardstock for the window insets and green and pink for the peppermints, too.  To make the white card base, I scored an 8-1/2″ X 5-1/2″ piece of white cardstock and placed the largest house die on top of the folded cardstock, ensuring the top cutting line (i.e., the rooftop line) was above the folded edge. This keeps the fold line intact and creates a scored card base.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Joyful Holiday Paper Focused Christmas Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Gingerbread House Dies, Penguin Party, Holiday Greetings)

In addition to adding the many cute accent elements from the gingerbread die set, I also applied Pearl Pen (similar to Nuvo Drops) to add red, glossy candies around the roof line and on the bottom. Next, I stamped and colored a cute penguin using the Penguin Party stamp set and dies. I colored the penguin using Copic Sketch markers in 100, C7, C5, C3, C1, YR68, YR09, RV09, RV55 and YG03. I added a garland of red candies between the penguin’s hands, too. I used a white gel pen to add extra “fluff” to the penguin’s Santa hat.

Inside the card, I added an outline of the pink confetti paper (cut out using the two different sizes of house outlines in the die set)two more penguins and a script phrase using the Holiday Greetings stamps and dies. I used blue ink for the script. Using my Copic markers, I added tiny confetti dots of color around the sentiment and penguins to match the pink pattern paper. I kept them tiny so that they would not bleed through the white paper. I used the following Copic Sketch markers to color the penguins: 100, C7, C5, C3, C1, YR68, YR09, RV09, RV55, RV02, R29, and YG03.

Inside Greetings Congrats Cards with Bobbi and Catherine

Hello Sunny Studio friends! It’s Bobbi here with a baby card to share. I am using the following products by Sunny Studio Stamps:

Baby Elephant Stamps and coordinating die set

Inside Greetings: Congratulations stamps

Bursting Hearts Die

Icing Border Dies


Sunny Studio Stamps: Inside Greetings Congrats Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Baby Elephant, Bursting Hearts Dies, Icing Border Dies)

I used Neenah 80lb Solar White cardstock for all of the cardstock elements and black dye ink for the stamping.


Sunny Studio Stamps: Inside Greetings Congrats Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Baby Elephant, Bursting Hearts Dies, Icing Border Dies)


To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I stamped and colored the cute 
Baby Elephant design. I used the following Copic Markers to color it: RV00, RV02, YR31, YR30, B000, B00 and BV000. I used my white gel pen to add dots and swirls over the colored image to make it a bit more textural looking. It softens the look a bit.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Inside Greetings Congrats Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Baby Elephant, Bursting Hearts Dies, Icing Border Dies)

Next, I cut the Bursting Hearts Die design from white cardstock. I ink blended Spun Sugar and Speckled Egg Distress Oxide Inks, starting in the center and moving out a bit, leaving white around the edges. This panel will be used as the background for the elephant image.

For the card base, I cut the following pieces: 5″ wide X 11″ long piece and a 5″ wide X 7″ long piece. I scored the longer piece at 4″ (from the top edge) to create the inside 5″ X 7″ panel. The other A7 panel will be used to complete the front panel. I cut a 4-1/4″ wide X 3″ long rectangle from both pieces as shown above. It’s important that these panel openings line up perfectly so that they can “sandwich” the bursting hearts die cut panel in the middle of them.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Inside Greetings Congrats Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Baby Elephant, Bursting Hearts Dies, Icing Border Dies)


I adhered the layers together with glue, carefully lining up the openings and “sandwiching” the die cut piece in the middle. This offers a nice finished edge on both sides. I used one of the 
Icing Border Dies cut from pink cardstock to cover the 4″ edge from the front piece. I stamped two sentiments from the Inside Greetings: Congratulations stamps on the front panel. I added white hearts to the outside panel in a diagonal fashion for a little more subtle sweetness.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Inside Greetings Congrats Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Baby Elephant, Bursting Hearts Dies, Icing Border Dies)

Inside, I stamped a third sentiment from the Inside Greetings: Congratulations stamp set and added more white hearts down the side of the interior panel. Note: I made sure to stamp the phrase below the rectangular opening so that it would not show through from the front.  This card is done!

Hello Friends! Catherine here, sharing a floral card featuring Inside Greetings Congrats Stamps!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Inside Greetings Congrats Card by Catherine Cohen (featuring Charming City, Timeless Tulips, Cheerful Daisies)

For the background, I stamped a piece of white card stock sized 4.25” x 5.5” with buildings from Charming City Stamps using two different colour inks. 

I die cut two frames out of rectangles from Stitched Rectangle Dies, one from white card stock and the other using black patterned paper from Classic Sunburst Paper. I spattered the black frame with a small amount of Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain. For the white frame, I added texture by die cutting a stitched border on top of the four sides. I adhered the two frames and vellum sized 3.5” x 4” onto the background. 

For the outer flower pocket, I trimmed one piece of white card stock 4” x 4” and stamped it with Charming City Stamps. I folded the cardstock to resemble a cone and trimmed off the ends. I repeated this with vellum and tucked the vellum inside the outer pocket. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Inside Greetings Congrats Card by Catherine Cohen (featuring Charming City, Timeless Tulips, Cheerful Daisies)

Inks used:
Charming City: Lawn Fawn Jelly Fish, Mama Elephant Smoke
Flower Bouquet: Hero Arts Key Lime Fizz, Green Apple; Pink Fresh Lemon Whip, Sweet Mustard, Clementine; Altenew Cotton Candy, Frosty Pink, Pink Diamond, Ruby Red, Coral Berry

I added flowers from Timeless Tulips, Cheerful Daisies, and leaves from Spring Greenery DiesI finished off the card with a sentiment from Inside Greetings Congrats and tied a bow with baker’s twine.
