Radiating Circles Die Focused Card with Tina M

It’s Tina M here, today I’m sharing a card featuring the new Radiating Circle Dies. For this card I imagined the circles as plates! 

I started off by stamping a bunch of cookies from the Baked With Love stamp set, to go on my plates! I also stamped two hedgehogs from the Quill Cuties stamp set on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and then used the coordinating Baked With Love dies and the Quill Cuties dies to die cut them out. I colored the images with my Copic Markers, see list below.

Copic colors used:
Cookies: E21/23/25/27/29, BG 11/13/49, RV 52/55/66
Hedgehogs: W0/1/3/5, R00/30/32

I die cut the largest of the Icing Rectangle Frame dies from black cardstock and glued it to my A2 card base. I also die cut the largest of the Icing Rectangle Frame dies from the turquoise paper from the Classic Sunburst paper pack, the grid patterned side up. This time I didn´t use the actual scalloped frame but the inside piece to adhere to the card base.

Next, I die cut five pieces of Radiating Circle dies from pink card stock in four different sizes, I ink blended the edges using a slighter darker pink. I then positioned the circles on the turquoise patterned panel using pieces of low tack tape to keep them together and in place. Next, carefully removing them, placing the largest of the Icing Rectangle Frame dies on top and ran them through my die cutting machine. Now to fit and adhere the circles into the scalloped shapes of the frame using liquid glue.

I then stamped one of the sentiments from the Inside Greetings Friends Stamp set to the largest circle. I added foam dots to the back of the hedgehogs and the cookies for dimension and adhered them to the circles. Lastly, I applied Rock Candy by Ranger for some sparkle to the hearts of the two round cookies and the heart that the hedgehog holds!

Thank you for stopping by! Wishing you all a happy and colorful day!

Icing Rectangle Frame Die Focused Card with Yan

Hello everyone! It’s Yan here! I’m so excited to share my new card today, combining the stitched label frame die from Sunny Studio’s Icing Rectangle Frame Dies with the adorable Quill Cuties Stamp Set! Both are part of the Sunny Studio Spring New Release, and they work together so perfectly — I had such a fun time creating this cheerful design! Let’s get started! 

First, I stamped the adorable hedgehogs from the Quill Cuties Stamp Set using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock. Then, I colored them with Copic markers, adding warm tones and playful shading to bring out their cheerful personalities! Once the coloring was done, I used the Quill Cuties Dies to cut them out perfectly — they’re all ready to join the scene! 

COPIC COLOUR:
Hedgehogs: E18, E35, E31, E30, R30
Glasses: Y11, Y15
Mug, Hat & Gift Box: BG23, BG15, B000, R46, R30

Next, I added a soft background to my creamy cardstock using the Dotted Diamond Landscape Die to create a delicate pierced pattern. Then, I used the Stitched Label Frames Dies from the Icing Rectangle Frame Die set to die-cut four frames — two from white cardstock and two from vellum paper. I blended Distress Oxide inks in Salvaged Patina over the white cardstock frames to add a gentle pop of color, and heat embossed heartfelt sentiments from the Inside Greetings Friends Stamp onto the vellum frames. 

Finally, I used the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2 & 5 to die-cut a few hearts and snowflakes to add extra little details. Then, I layered all the elements together using foam tape and glue, arranging the hedgehogs and frames to create a cheerful, dimensional scene full of springtime fun — just as shown in the photo! 

Thank you so much for stopping by — I’m so happy to share a little piece of my crafting joy with you today!

Inside Greetings Friends Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here sharing a friendship card using the new Inside Greetings Friends stamps paired with the Penguin Pair Stamps and the Wolly Friends Stamp sets!

I started off by stamping two cute penguins, two bows and six hearts from the Penguin Pair stamp set, two of the fence and six of the flowers from the Wolly Friends Stamps set on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below.

Copic colors used:
Penguins: N3/5/6/8, C0/1, R00/30/32, YR21/24/27
Bows: R22/24/27 and RV52/55, V000
Hearts: R22/24/27
Fence: RV52/55, V000
Flowers: R22/24

When finished the coloring I ran the images through my die cutting machine using the coordinating Penguin Pair dies and the Wolly Friends dies. Next, I ink blended a scrap piece of card stock for the grass and used the grass die from the Slimline Nature Borders Dies set, creating two thin strips of grass to the length of 3,75 inches.

For my card I used an A2 size card base, I then trimmed a piece of the darker pink patterned paper from the Classic Sunburst paper pack to 5,5 x 4,25 inches. For this card I chose the grid pattern up. Next, I adhered the pink panel to the card base using double sided tape. Next, I trimmed a piece of white card stock 5 x 3,75 inches. Using a blending brush, I colored the panel with a light turquoise ink to create my sky. 

Now to assemble the scenes! As I wanted to make two separate scenes on my card, I glued one of the fences at 2,5 inches, the center of the sky-colored panel, (portrait orientation), next I glued the strip of grass to the bottom of the fence. I then glued the other fence and the other strip of grass to the bottom of the panel.

Before adding any more die cut elements I stamped the sentiments from the Inside Greetings Friends stamps. Next, I added foam dots to back of the penguins for dimension and adhered them to the card! I then glued the bows to their heads, the flowers on the grass and finished off with the hearts!

As I love adding black frames to most of my cards, I trimmed a piece of black card stock to
5,1/8 x 3,7/8 inches for a thin frame to adhere behind the scenes panel! Lastly, I adhered the scene panel with the black frame to the card base using double sided tape!

Thank you for stopping by! Wishing you all a happy and colorful day!

Penguin Pair Card with Yan

Hello everyone! It’s Yan here! I’m so happy to be back on the blog today to share this new card I made with the Penguin Pair Stamp Set from Sunny Studio’s Spring New Release! These adorable little penguins instantly melted my heart — they’re perfect for creating a cozy and cheerful winter scene! 

First, I stamped the adorable penguin on gray cardstock using white pigment ink. Then, I colored them with Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils and added some tiny hearts and falling snow for a touch of sweetness. Finally, I stamped the sentiment using the Inside Greetings Friends Stamp to complete the card. 

To finish the design, I kept the overall look clean and simple to let the playful penguins and soft colors shine. I really love how this card turned out — sometimes less is truly more! 

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I hope this card brings you a little smile today.

Penguin Pair Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here sharing a card using the new Penguin Pair stamps!

I started by stamping three penguins, outfits and accessories on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below. I then die cut the images out using the coordinating Penguin Pair dies. I glued the suit, the dress and the accessories to my penguins!

Copic colors used:
Penguins: N3/5/6/8, C0/1, R00/30/32, YR21/24/27
Accessories and outfits: RV52/55/V000, R22/24/27
Hearts: R22/24/27

For my card I used an A2 size card base, I then trimmed a piece of white and a piece of pink cardstock 5,5 x 4,25 inches and ran the white piece through my die cutting machine with the Bursting Hearts Die. Next, I adhered the pink panel to the card base using double sided tape, and on top of that pink panel I glued the white panel with the cut-out hearts.

I trimmed another piece of white card stock 5,5 x just shy of 1,75 inches for the lower part of the card front for the penguins to sit/stand on and to stamp the sentiment. Next, I trimmed a piece of black card stock 5,5 x 1.75 inches. I adhered the two pieces together with double sided tape, having a thin black strip showing to separate the bottom piece from the die cut piece, and lastly, I adhered that piece to the card base.

I then stamped the sentiment from the Inside Greetings Friends Stamps. I added foam dots to back of the penguins for dimension and adhered them to the card!

Thanks for stopping by! Wishing you all a happy and colorful day!

Sneak Peek: Introducing Spring Garland & Inside Greetings Friends

Hello, and welcome to day 5 of our Spring Sneak Peek Week!  All this week I am sharing cards showcasing our newest collection, which will be available for purchase tomorrow!

Card No.1: Today, I am sharing ideas using our beautiful new Spring Garland Stamps and Dies, which feature two groupings of tulip & daffodil flowers, an extra tulip flower & leaf to use as filler, two butterflies, and one large bold greeting. For my first card, I stamped and colored all the elements from the set using artPop! Chisel and Brush Dual Tip Alcohol Markers. I then adhered them to a square card base cut from hot pink patterned paper from the Classic Gingham Paper pack using the Scalloped Square 1 Large Dies. I added another mat over the top using the Stitched Square Dies cut from white cardstock to frame my clean and simple card.

Card No.2: For my second card using the Spring Garland Stamps, I arranged the flowers from the set around two of the stacked labels from the Icing Rectangle Frame Dies and heat-embossed a friendship sentiment from the newest Inside Greetings Friends Stamps. I mounted everything onto a piece of coordinating lavender-patterned paper trimmed down to fit an A2-sized card from the Flirty Florals Paper pack. 

Card No.3: Up next, I created an all-yellow and green card with the Spring Garland Stamps, coloring the tulips yellow to match the daffodils for a fresh monochromatic look. I cut apart a few of the tulips and filled in with the extra tulip and leaf from the set to create one continuous growing border. To the left of the border, I added a mini green swiss dot print, and to the right, a yellow tone-on-tone floral print from the Spring Fever Paper pack. Lastly, I stamped a greeting in the bottom, right corner using the new Inside Greetings Friends Stamps with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

Card No.4: My next card using the Spring Garland Stamps, I arranged the flowers colored in pastel pinks and lilacs onto the largest die from the Stitched Oval Dies. I then layered them over a pale blue pierced background using the Dotted Diamond Landscape Dies, and added two butterflies colored to match. Lastly, I once again stamped a friendship sentiment using the Inside Greetings Friends Stamps with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

Card No.5: For my last card, I stamped the two groups of flowers from the Spring Garland Stamps in opposing corners with clear VersaMark Ink, heat-embossed with White Detail Embossing Powder, and then watercolored them using Zig Clean Real Brush Markers. I then colored around the flowers using a really watered-down mixture of Broken China Reinker, before splattering the entire panel with Picket Fence Spritz. Watercolors and I are usually not a great match with my perfectionist tendencies and struggling to color inside the lines, so the white mist was the perfect way to disguise some of those coloring imperfections and smooth out the uneven overlapping lines in my background. I finished my card with a simple white frame using the outer die from the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die set and heat-embossed a birthday greeting onto a coordinating shade of blue cardstock using the sentiment from the Big Bold Greetings Stamps. While this card felt like a hot mess through most of the creative process, I persevered, and I love the painterly feel of my finished card.

That wraps up today's sneak peek. These cards make me so excited for Spring, and I'm so happy you joined me today! I'd love to give a $40 gift code to one lucky winner, who will be randomly selected from the comments on this blog post, as well as our Facebook and Instagram posts. Our daily contests will run through Saturday, January 10th, at Midnight PST, with winners announced here on our blog on Sunday, January 11th.
