Stitched Arch Die Focused Card with Amanda

Hey crafters! It’s Amanda here! Today, I’m sharing this fun summer card and how I made it! Keep reading to see all the products I used, Copic markers, and how I put it all together!

The first step to creating this card is to trim a piece of white cardstock to 4.25”x5.5”. Next, using some low tack tape, secure the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies in the center of the panel. Set this panel aside for later.

Next, grab 2 pieces of blue or teal cardstock for the waves. Using the Catch a Wave Dies, create 2 waves that are approximately 4” wide. Glue the waves together and then place foam tape behind them.

On an A2 card base, glue a piece of red cardstock directly to the front of it. Then, attach your waves with the foam tape. Place foam tape only on the upper portion of the arch panel.  Put glue on the bottom portion where it touches the waves. This will keep the arch panel level.

Grab your Ocean View and Kiddie Pool Stamp Sets, a MISTI or stamping platform, and alcohol marker-friendly black ink. Stamp the images with the black ink and then get your Copic markers ready!

Here are the Copic marker colors I used to color this scene:

Girl:
Hair: E53, E55, E57, E59
Skin: E00, E11, E13
Mouth: R37, R59
Suit: RV23, RV25, RV29
Goggles: B02, B06 (B21 for the lenses)

Crab: RV23, RV25, Rv29, R46

Rocks: N4, N5, N6, N8

Plants & Shell: 
YR000, YR12, YR15, YR16, YR18
Y32, Y35, Y38
E00, E13
BG11, BG13, BG15

Once coloring is complete, trim the images out with the coordinating dies or fussy cut them with scissors. Add some white highlights and dots with a white Gelly Roll pen.

On a small piece of black cardstock, stamp the sentiment with a WOW embossing pad, apply white embossing powder, and then melt the powder with a heat tool. Trim the sentiment into a strip and then create a flag/banner edge with scissors.

Glue the rocks and plants directly to the waves, having the edges poke out in front of the arch. Then, put 3D foam squares behind the girl, crab, shell, and sentiment strip and add them to the scene. Finally, glue a few of the Clear Jewels around the card to complete the card!

What a fun layout for a card using that Stitched Arch Die! I hope you enjoyed reading about this card! Come back tomorrow for more crafty inspo!

Wedded Bliss Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a sweet wedding card to share with you featuring these adorable penguins from the Wedded Bliss and Passionate Penguins sets. The guests are toasting the happy couple that opted for a warm, tropical destination wedding.

I stamped the penguins from the Wedded Bliss Stamps and Passionate Penguins Stamps, the extra tree from the Ocean View Stamps and the drinks from the Tiki Time Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Wedded Bliss Dies, Passionate Penguins Dies, Ocean View Dies and Tiki Time Dies to diecut them out. I also stamped the background image from the Ocean View Stamps onto another piece of Neenah White cardstock (4.25" x 5.5"). I colored the images with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7, W00/1, R000/20
Clothing: C00/1/3, RV00/02/04
Flower: RV00/02, YG03
Drinks: R000/20/22
Trees: YG01/03/25/17, E31/33/35, E21/23/25/27
Sky: B0000/000
Clouds: C00/1
Water: B0000/000/00/02/04
Sand: E30/31/33

For the frame, I used the second largest die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies to diecut a window out of the center of a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5"). The frame was adhered to the colored panel with foam tape.

Wishing You Wedded Bliss! For the sentiment, I diecut the Brilliant Banner 3 Dies out of white cardstock. I diecut the center part of the banner twice to layer for a bit of dimension. I stamped the sentiment from the Wedded Bliss Stamps with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto one of the center part of the banner. I adhered the parts of the banner to each other with liquid adhesive and the entire banner to the frame with foam tape for extra dimension. 

The penguins were adhered to the panel with foam tape. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").

My Otter Half Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some otter-themed cards for summer using our My Otter Half Stamps.

For my first card, I stamped and masked off the kelp and underwater plants from our Ocean View Stamps, Best Fishes Stamps, and Fintastic Friends Stamps so they were all on a single layer along the bottom of my card. I used the large clear stamp in my positioning tool to mirror the rock and plant image from the Ocean View stamps so that the tall portions of the plant could be on the outer edges for both sides of my card. I then layered a piece of aqua colored vellum which I die-cut along the top using our Slimline Nature Border Dies. I happened to have this vellum in my stash, but I also found some colorful assortments on Amazon HERE, HERE, and HERE.

The two adorable otters from our My Otter Half Stamps take center stage, with half of their bodies under the water and half above. I didn't want to mess with spray adhesive, so I used my sewing machine to stitch the vellum in place. Sadly, my machine has issues, so don't look too closely. I inked up some clouds to match the turquoise water using Peacock Feathers distress ink and our Fluffy Cloud Border Dies cut from masking material. I completed my card by stamping one of the punny sentiments from the set on a speech bubble from our Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies and adding three tiny hearts from our Basic Mini Shape 2 Dies.

For my second card, I started my scene by layering the mountains and trees from our Spring Scenes Stamps along the top of my card and then tucked in a grassy border using our Mini Grass Border Dies. For my lake, I inked up my cardstock panel with Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon, and Prize Ribbon Distress Inks before drawing loose ripples with my B16 Copic Marker. For my family of otters from the My Otter Half Stamps, I carefully cut the two snuggling otter apart so that I could tuck them around the mama otter holding the baby otter to look like a family of four. I then stamped the punny phrase "We Need Each Otter" onto our Brilliant Banner 2 Dies which I die-cut from a green print from the Classic Sunburst Paper pack.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today. 😊

Tiki Time Card with Amanda

Hey there, fellow cardmaking enthusiasts! Amanda here with you. Are you loving summer as much as I am?! It is THE BEST! I have made so many summer scene cards and I love it!! Today, I am sharing another one with you! This card features some really cute kitties on the beach enjoying some drinks! Keep reading to see how I created this card!

First, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4.25”x5.5”. I stamped the beach background from the Ocean View Stamps with black ink. From the Tiki Time Stamps, I stamped my “Aloha” sentiment in my horizon.

Next, I stamped the kitties from the Cat Antics Stamps. I also stamped the tiki torches, tiki bar, and drinks from the Tiki Time Stamps.  

I colored the background and my images in with Copic markers. I added some white highlights and dots using a white Gelly Roll pen. Then, I die cut the images out with their coordinating die sets. 

I put foam squares behind all of the images to prop them up and then adhered them to the card front. I then, glued my panel to an A2 card base.  

This scene just makes me want to go to the beach! Those kitties are just having too much fun! I hope you continue to enjoy your summer and also find some time to get crafty!
