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!

Designer's Choice: Beach Bus Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I'm excited to share a cute beach scene with you!

I started this A2 card by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock using the frame portion of the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies. I inked a soft sunset sky on the top half with Dried Marigold, Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass Distress inks and adhered it to the card front.

Next, I cut a piece of Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock 5" x 6" and stamped the palm tree/ocean stamp from the Ocean View Stamps towards the top of the cardstock. I masked the stamped image and inked below it with Antique Linen Distress ink. I die-cut a slit on the right side approximately 1" below the image to tuck the surfboards in the sand using a die from the Tropical Scenes Dies. After coloring the image with Copics, I die-cut along the top edge using the coordinating dies. I then positioned the frame die from the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies over the cardstock, die-cut it and adhered it to the sky background piece on the card front.

To finish, I stamped the remaining images, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I used the following stamps/dies:

Beach Bus Stamps/Dies
Passionate Penguins Stamps/Dies
Penguin Party Stamps/Dies
Tropical Birds Stamps/Dies (hibiscus)
Fabulous Flamingos Stamps/Dies (leaves)
Beach Buddies Stamps/Dies (beach hat)

I stamped the sentiment on strips of white cardstock using stamps from the Tropical Birds Stamps, Beach Bus Stamps and Passionate Penguins Stamps. I heat embossed them with clear embossing powder and inked the strips with Spun Sugar Distress ink.

Mermaid Kisses Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a fun underwater scene card featuring the cute Mermaid Kisses Stamps!

I started this A2 card with the ocean background. I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the frame portion of the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies and heat embossed the sentiment on the left side 1 1/2" from the top edge with white embossing powder. I then inked the panel starting at the top with Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers Distress ink. I splattered some water with a fan brush and once dry, inked a sunray stencil at the top with Ranger Glacier White pigment ink.

Next, I cut a piece of white cardstock using the same frame from the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies and die-cut across the bottom 1 1/2" using a Slimline Nature Borders Die. I inked the piece with Antique Linen Distress ink and adhered it to the bottom of the ocean background. I then adhered the background to the card front.

To finish, I stamped all images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies.

I used the following stamps and dies:
Mermaid Kisses Stamps/Dies
Fintastic Friends Stamps/Dies
Ocean View Stamps/Dies

Sliding Window Die Focused Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I’m excited to share an ocean themed card using the Sliding Window Dies!

To make this fun card, I started with the base panel. I cut a piece of 110lb white cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and inked the top half of the cardstock using a cloud stencil with Spun Sugar Distress ink. (I have several layers of ocean scene adhered to the window portion, so a heavier weight cardstock added extra stability). I then cut a post-it note in a wavy pattern, masked the bottom 1” of the panel and inked the ocean with Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina and Mermaid Lagoon Distress inks. I splattered a little water with a fan brush and once dry, masked the ocean and inked the bottom 1” with Antique Linen Distress ink. I then heat embossed a sentiment from the Mermaid Kisses Stamps with black embossing powder on the cloud portion approximately 1” from the top and right sides. With the inking complete, I die-cut the center of the panel with the Sliding Window Dies and the center of the top edge with the small semi-circle die included with these dies.

Next, I cut a piece of white cardstock 3 1/4" x 4 7/8” for the pull-out panel that opens the sliding window. I inked this piece with a cloud stencil using Spun Sugar Distress ink, die-cut a hole protector from pink cardstock and adhered it to the center of the top edge. I punched a hole through the center of the hole protector and tied off a piece of teal cording.

It was now time to construct the sliding window mechanism. I adhered the small flap of the sliding window to the bottom of the pink cloud panel. (Video instructions for this can be found in the product details on the Sunny website).

For the panel revealed under the window, I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4” x 5 1/2", masked the bottom 1” of the cardstock and inked the ocean using the same Distress inks as before. I then inked the sand with Antique Linen Distress ink. I heat embossed a sentiment from the Mermaid Kisses Stamps with black embossing powder approximately 2” from the bottom of the cardstock. I adhered the sliding window panel to this bottom panel and then adhered the combined piece to an A2 card front.

For my ocean scene, I cut 3 pieces of white cardstock for the waves on the sliding panel (2 1/4" x 4 1/4" and 2 pieces 1 1/2" x 4 1/4"). I die-cut the top edge of each piece using the Catch A Wave Dies and inked the smaller pieces with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. I also splattered a little water on these pieces. On the larger piece, I masked the very bottom, inked the ocean and then inked the bottom sand portion. I overlapped/adhered the small wave pieces behind the large wave piece. I then adhered the waves to the sliding window on the card front making sure to only apply adhesive on the window portion itself so the whole scene slides upward.

To finish, I stamped all images on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock and colored them with Copics. I fussy cut all images as I used portions of some images to create this scene.

I used the following stamps:
Mermaid Kisses Stamps

Fintastic Friends Stamps

Ocean View Stamps
