Monkey Business Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and I really went a bit overboard with this card! Since I am featuring some adorable cuties from the Monkey Business stamps and dies set , I went all out creating a vibrant jungle scene! 

Starting with a green card base, I then cut a white panel with the outer die from Frilly Frames Stripes. Next, I create a frame with one of the Stitched Semi Circle dies. This provides the opening for my scene.

For my leafy jungle, I first cut a panel from a green sheet of paper (Dots & Stripes Pastels) with the border die from the Botanical Backdrop. I adhered parts of this border to the back of my white panel so it would look like the leaves were growing inside of the frame. From that same green sheet I also cut 6 more individual leaves to spread around my design (Summer Greenery). I wanted the background to be completely green, so I added another green striped panel to the back of the white piece. Now I could adhere this whole jungle scene to the card base with liquid glue.

The main characters of this card are the cuties from Monkey Business, it was hard to select only three of them! Of course they needed some yummy bananas as well! To add to the jungle vibe, I also stamped a sweet parrot (Outback Critters).

All the coloring was done with Copic markers and I added some highlights with a white gel pen. I found the perfect sentiment in the Inside Greetings Congrats set and used a red ink from my stash. To assemble the card, I first added the individual leaves and bananas to the scene, followed by the cute critters and sentiment. Lastly, I added a bunch of yellow jewels (Pastel Jewels Mix). I am so excited to see all your takes on this sweet set!

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Designer's Choice: Wonderful Window Die Focused Card with Yan

Hello friends! Yan here—I’m excited to share a soft and heartfelt Mother’s Day card featuring the lovely Wonderful Windows Dies. I love how this die set creates a charming window scene, perfect for adding a warm and meaningful touch to a card for someone special.

To begin, I stamped the sweet mama cat and kitten image from the Cat Antics Stamps onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then colored the image with Copic markers, bringing out the warm and loving details. Once finished, I used the Cat Antics Dies to cut it out neatly.

COPIC COLOR:
Mama Cat with Kitten : E18, E31, E35, E41, E43, R32 
Fish in Food Bowl : BG10, BG23, R32, YR65, YR000
Ball of Yarn : R30, R32
Mice : W1, W5, R32

Next, I used the Wonderful Windows Dies to die cut the window frame from another piece of white cardstock three times, then stacked the layers together with glue to create a bit of dimension. I also added a soft touch of color using Copic markers (R32 and R30) to give the window frame a gentle, warm look.

For the background, I chose a piece from the Polka-dot Parade 6x6 Paper to add a soft and playful touch. I then stamped a sweet sentiment from the Inside Greetings Friends Stamps directly onto the background to complete the heartfelt message. Next, I used the Sydney Alphabet Dies to die cut the letters “MOM” from another piece of white cardstock three times, then stacked them together with glue to create a bit of dimension. Finally, I assembled all the elements using glue and double-sided tape to bring the whole design together.

I hope this card brings a touch of warmth and inspiration to your day!

Designer's Choice: Balloon Rides Card with Tina H

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and I have a fun card for you in one of my favourite color combo’s, pink and teal.

This time I went with a square design and a white card base. My next layer is a striped square (Scalloped Square 1 Small dies, Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones). After glueing this piece to the card base, I went on to create a circle with the largest die of the Zig Zag Circles. To add interest to this background, which will be my sky, I did some splattering with a teal ink from my stash. I set this piece aside to dry and started working on my focal point.

After browsing through my stamps, I discovered that the big balloon from Balloon Rides fits perfectly inside the circle background. Choosing the passenger from this set was hard since they are all so cute, in the end the adorable bunny was the lucky one! I also stamped three clouds and two pieces of trim for the balloon. As mentioned before, I went with Copics in teal and pink shades. 

Meanwhile, the splattered circle was dry to the touch and could be adhered to the striped panel. Next, I assembled the balloon with the trim and bunny. Before deciding on the final placement, I selected and stamped a sentiment from Inside Greetings Congrats in Versafine Onyx Black ink. 

With all the elements of my design ready, I could mount the images and sentiment to my circle background. Lastly, I added a few Iridescent Jewels to finish this card.

I can’t wait to see your creations with this sweet stamp set! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Inside Greetings Friends Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today we are creating a card all about friendship. I love sending my cards out to other crafters and this project is perfect for that. I will be using a sentiment from the Inside Greetings Friends stamp. These sentiments also work great on the outside of a card as show in this design!

After creating a white card base, I cut a white panel with the rectangle die from Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace. This piece was dry embossed with the Woodgrain folder before adhering it to the card base.

My background is an arch (Stitched Arch Dies) cut from a pink heart paper (Flirty Flowers) and also from white card stock. This latter arch will become the floor after I stamped a wooden texture (Sprawling Surfaces) with a brown ink from my stash. I did go in and added more color with my Copics. Next, I layered both arch pieces and glued them to the white wooden panel.

By now you will know that I love cute critters, so I selected two kittens and a box  from Cat Antics. As usual, I used my Copics for the coloring. I stamped the XOXO message (Vintage Valentine) with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto the little sign one of the cats is holding.

Finally, I used the same ink to add the sentiment (Inside Greetings Friends) to a white banner. All that was left was to mount the images and sentiment to my arch background. A few Champagne Clear Jewels gave this project that extra sparkle!

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Speech Bubbles Extras Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and today I am sharing a fun birthday card featuring the Foxy Friends and the Speech Bubbles Extras Dies set. These foxy friends are ready to celebrate! So let’s get started.

I stamped the images from the Foxy Friends Stamp and some balloons from the Party Pets Stamp sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Foxy Friends Dies and Party Pets Dies to diecut them out. I colored the images with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Foxes: YR21/24/27 E09, W00/1/3, W7, R000/30
Birds: Y11/13/15, R20
Pink: RV000/10/21/13/14
Yellow: Y11/13/15
Green: YG03/17

For the background, I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25” x 5.5”) and lightly ink blended some Spun Sugar and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide inks.I lightly ink blended another piece of white cardstock with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink. I used the grassy die from the Comic Strip Everyday Dies to diecut a strip for the ground. I used the dies from the same die set to also diecut some white clouds. The grass and clouds were adhered to the pink panel. 

For the sentiment, I used the Speech Bubbles Extras Dies set to diecut two speech bubbles out of white cardstock. I stamped the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the Inside Greetings - Birthday Stamp set and the “From all of us” from the Inside Greetings - Holidays Stamp set onto the speech bubbles with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I used the larger frame die from the Icing Rectangle Frame Dies to diecut a frame out of white cardstock. (TIP: I found it helpful to save the negative from this diecut to help align and adhere the frame to the panel.) 

I adhered the icing frame to the panel with liquid glue. The colored images and speech bubbles were adhered to the panel with foam tape for additional dimension and interest. The card front was adhered to an A2 white 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. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate! Have a wonderful and crafty day!
