Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Kavya

Hi, it's Kavya here with you today! I've created two cards using a variety of products from the latest release, combined with some of my favorite items from my stash. I love Sunny Studio Stamps because their thoughtfully designed stamps make it easy to mix and match with older releases, adding great versatility. This release did not disappoint!

My first card uses the new Summer Jar Mug and Juicy Watermelon dies. I started off by using some green striped paper from Striped Silly paper pack. I ink blended the center with some coordinating dye ink to make it darker and create a focal point. Then, I diecut the jars and watermelon out of cardstock. To make them look realistic, I added a bunch of details using white gel pen and copic markers. 

To continue with the tropical theme, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Tropical Paradise stamp set. I finished off the card with sentiments from Sweet Word die and Beach Bus stamp set.

My next card reminds me of a fun beach vacation I took a few weeks ago! I started off by ink blending my scene using orange and yellow dye inks. For the sand, I used some tan cardstock. I ink blended the cardstock with coordinating dye ink to add some dimension. For the beach, I used Ocean View stamp set. 

Then I colored a bunch of images from Beach Bus and Beach Babies stamp sets. Adhered all the elements on my background and finished off my card with a sentiment from Beach Bus! 

That's it folks! I hope these projects inspire you :) Happy crafting!

Juicy Watermelon Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here and today I'm sharing a fun card that would be perfect for anyone with a summer birthday. I've always felt that watermelons are one of the most iconic fruits of the summer.   

I used the Juicy Watermelon die set to create a border of slices all the around the edges of my mini slimline card. My card base measures 6.25 inches long by 3.25 inches wide.  This size was perfect to allow for three slices along the top and bottom edges and one slice on the ends while leaving space for the greeting in the center. 

All the pieces for the watermelon slices where die cut from white card stock and then I used the following Catherine Pooler inks to color: Party Dress, Cranberry Fizz, Garden Party, Grass Skirt. I used a black Copic marker to color the area behind the little seed cut outs. 

I splattered the card base with a little bit of red ink before I adhered the slices. I then used stamps from Punny Fruit Greetings and the Chloe Alphabet dies to create the birthday sentiment. Lastly, I added three tiny clay hearts.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Tropical Birds Cards with Ashlee Bellinger

Hey Sunny Studio friends. It’s Ashlee here with a new guest post using products from the latest Sunny Studio release. I was so excited to play with some of the gorgeous new goodies!

For this first card I used these products :
- Tropical Birds stamps / coordinating dies
- Summer Jar Mug dies
- Juicy Watermelon die
- Dotted Diamond Portrait die

To create this card I started by die cutting the card base from yellow card stock using the dotted diamond portrait die. I then die cut a whole bunch of pieces using all different colours of card stock to create two of the summer jars. These were adhered together and placed on the card base using varying levels of foam tape. To add a fruity touch I die cut a super cute juicy watermelon.

Using the toucan stamp from the Tropical birds stamp set I stamped, coloured and die cut the image and popped him onto the top of the summer jar! How cute is he sitting up there amongst all the bright colours and summer drinks! 

Next it was time to add a sentiment so I stamped the “a little toucan of my appreciation” on two white strips then adhered those in place. To complete the card a touch of pretty sequins!!

I also have another card to share today and this one uses these products :
- Dotted Diamond Portrait die
- Tropical Birds stamps / coordinating dies
- Juicy Watermelon die
- Mini Mat & Tag 2 dies

To create this card I started by die cutting the card base using the dotted diamond die. I then die cut a frame using white card stock and the mini mat die to have a focal piece for my images and sentiments to go. I stamped the “a-pparotly it’s your birthday” directly onto the white frame before adhering the frame to the card base with foam tape to start adding dimension.

Once the frame piece was adhered I went on to die cut a bunch of super cute juicy watermelons. These were also adhered with foam tape of varying levels.

Using the cute birdie from the tropical birds set I stamped, coloured and die cut it before placing him onto one of the watermelons. To complete the card I added my usual finishing touch of sequins. 

What do you think of these two summery colourful cards?! I hope you love them, I sure had fun creating them.

Thanks for stopping by the Sunny Studios blog today and happy crafting!

Juicy Watermelon Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a clean and simple friendship card today featuring the Juicy Watermelon Dies.

This was so fun to make and works up quickly. I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock 5” x 6” and lightly inked across the center of the cardstock with Spun Sugar Distress ink. I cut a strip of Gingham Pastels Paper 1 1/4" x 6” and adhered it to the bottom of the cardstock. I then die-cut the cardstock using the frame portion of the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies and adhered it to an A2 card front.

Next, I die-cut 5 watermelon slices using the Juicy Watermelon Dies and 2 leaves/small flowers using the Strawberry Patch Dies from white cardstock. I colored the watermelon slices and flowers with Copics and inked the leaves with Mowed Lawn/Rustic Wilderness Distress inks. For extra cuteness, I die-cut my center slice with the smiley face die from the Fresh Lemon Dies and added a stamped/Copic colored pair of shades using a stamp from the Beach Buddies Stamps. I just love how they fit the smiley face perfectly! I adhered the die-cuts across the card and then decided to die-cut 2 larger flowers using the “free with purchase” mini die currently available. I also colored these flowers with Copics.

To finish, I heat embossed a sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps with white embossing powder on a strip of black cardstock and die-cut the “melon” sentiment from black cardstock using the Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies.

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.

Designer's Choice: Limitless Labels Cards with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here and today I'm sharing a trio of thank you cards. These A2-sized cards all started with the same simple layout... a strip of patterned paper with an overlapping Limitless Labels 1 mat. This versatile layout design can be used on both landscape and portrait cards.

For these cards, I used a pretty floral pattern and a light green check pattern from Carta Bella's My Valentine Collection. The floral strip is 1.5" wide and placed about .25" from the long edge of the cards.  I used the largest die from Limitless Labels 1 to create the green check mat.

Once you have the base layout of pattern paper strip and large mat in place, the cards can be embellished with whatever suits your fancy.  I decided to go with a summer fruit theme for all of mine. The fruit die cuts were created with the Strawberry Patch, Wild Cherry, and Juicy Watermelon dies. 

I die-cut all the fruit pieces from white card stock and then used small blending brushes and the following Catherine Pooler inks to color: Grass Skirt, Spruce, Rouge, Cotton Candy, & Over Coffee. 

I used some of the smaller dies in the Limitless Labels 1 set to make little mats to stamp the thank you sentiments. These sentiments come from the Punny Fruit Greetings stamp set. This set includes words and short phrases to create custom greetings that cleverly coordinate with the all different fruit themes.
