Birthday Mouse Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun birthday card featuring images from the Harvest Mice and Birthday Mouse sets. I just love these adorable mice.

I started by creating the background and using the Moroccan Circles Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of pink cardstock. I trimmed a slim edge off the panel and adhered it to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5"). Next, I used the second smallest die from the Scalloped Square 1 Small Dies to die-cut two squares out of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I lightly colored the upper part of the sky with Copic markers. I added a piece of craft foam to the backside of the squares before adhering them to the pink panel.

I stamped the mice from the Harvest Mice Stamps and Birthday Mouse Stamps, the cheese from the Merry Mice Stamps, and the hats from the Party Pets Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Harvest Mice Dies, Birthday Mouse Dies, Merry Mice Dies and Party Pets Dies to die-cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Mice: E50/51/53/33/35, R000/20
Hats: RV13
Cheese: Y13/15, RV10/13/14
Balloons: YG00/01/03/17, RV000/10//21/13/14, Y11/13/15
Bicycle: RV13, C1, W5
Sky: RV1000/10
Banner: YG01/03/17

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner 3 Die to die-cut a banner from Neenah Solar white cardstock. I colored the banner with Copic markers. I stamped the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Inside Greetings: Birthday Stamps directly onto the banner with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I highlighted it with a white gel pen. The colored images and sentiment were adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.

Cherry Blossoms & Dotted Diamond Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some floral cards for Spring using our Cherry Blossoms Stamps and the two variations of our Dotted Diamond Dies.

For my first card of the day I have a soft and pretty sympathy card using the Cherry Blossoms Stamps with the tree branch from our Out on a Limb Dies. For my background, I inked up my cardstock panel with Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, and a light hand of Prize Ribbon Distress inks. I then die-cut / embossed the background with our Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. I inked up another small piece of cardstock with a similar blend of inks, which I die-cut using our Rounded Rectangle Window Dies. I shorted the rectangle by running it through my die-cutting machine again to better fit my sentiment from our Inside Greetings Sympathy Stamps. Lastly, I added a sprinkling of Majestic Clear Confetti adhered with Ranger's Multi Medium Matte.

Next up is a more vibrant take on the Cherry Blossoms Stamps. I paired them with a dramatic navy blue cardstock, which I had die-cut using our Dotted Diamond Landscape Die. For my focal point birthday greeting, I heat embossed the words "Happy Birthday" using our Big Bold Greetings Stamps and die-cut a navy frame around it using our Limitless Labels 1 Die, which I popped up with black foam tape to help it stand out. As a finishing touch, I added a few scattered Midnight Blue Crystals for some subtle sparkle. I love the tone-on-tone look with the different textures!

I am frequently asked which ink colors I used for my layered images. While I think there are so many great options out there, these are the colors I used today for my stamped images from light to dark:

Flower Blossoms
PinkFresh Ballet Slipper
Hero Arts Soft Pink
Hero Arts Bubblegum
Gina K.Passionate Pink

Flower Centers / Stamen

Gina K. Sweet Corn (card no. 2)

Flower Anthers

Balloon Alphabet Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun card to share with you showcasing the Balloon Alphabets set and these adorable kitties from Party Pets and Cat Antics sets. These kitties are super excited and ready to party!

I stamped the Balloon Alphabets stamps with Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110 lb cardstock. I die cut them out with the coordinating Balloon Alphabet Dies.

Next, I stamped the kitties from the Cat Antics stamps and Party Pets stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Cat Antics Dies and Party Pets Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Orange Cats: YR31/20/21/24/27, R00/20
Gray Cats: C00/0/1/3, R00/20
Brown Cats: E51/53/33, R00/20

For the background, I used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink to ink blend the center of a piece of white cardstock. The second largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies was used to trim the inked panel. I used the largest die from this same set to die cut a piece of red cardstock.

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Inside Greetings Birthday Stamps set directly onto the inked panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

For my card base, I took a piece of sturdy white cardstock (4.25" x 11"), scored it at the midline (5.5" mark) and folded it in half. I placed the largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies just slightly above the fold line (hinge of the card base) and die cut the cardstock. This created a white card base just slightly shorter than my red panel. 

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

Have a wonderful and crafty day!
