Party Pets Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and I am super excited to start the new year with a fun birthday card featuring the adorable kitties from the Party Pets stamp and die set.

This set also includes three cute dogs and I have already stamped them out for a future project! Can’t wait to create with them, but for today I loved coloring all these sweet cats and their party accessories with my Copic markers. I used color pencils in matching colors for a bit of shading on the images and added some highlights with a white gel pen.

After scoring a simple white card base, I dry embossed a panel from white card stock with the Moroccan Circle folder. I always love the extra dimension you get from this technique.

The past months have been busy making lots of cards, so my scrap pile of pattern paper was big! I decided to use up some bits (All Is Bright, Flirty Flowers) as backgrounds for the 6 windows I cut into the embossed panel by running the Wonky Windows die twice through the die cut machine.

Then, I simply flipped the panel to the back side and glued my paper scraps into place alternating the two patterns to cover the windows. Next, I stamped the big Happy Birthday sentiment from the Party Pets stamp, I love that it comes with a matching die! 

After adhering the window panel to my card base, I stamped two small sentiments from the same set onto the little signs two cats are holding. I played around with placement of the kitties until I was happy with the result. After adding a few Crystal clear Jewels this sweet project was ready!

I can’t wait to see all these adorable kitties and dogs featured in your projects! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Card with Amanda

Hello crafty friends and welcome back to the Sunny Studio Stamps Blog! It’s Amanda here sharing a card I made using some fun new products from the New Release! Keep reading to see how I created this fun foxy scene!

To create this card, I started by creating my background using the new Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies and the Background Basics 2 Stamps. I trimmed a piece of slightly textured muted green cardstock to 4.25” x 5.5”. Using some low tack tape, I centered my Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies in the center of the panel and then ran it through my die-cutting machine.  

To create those beautiful silver hearts, I smooshed a WOW! Embossing pad on each of the heart cutouts and then applied WOW! Midnight Sky embossing powder to them. I carefully melted the powder using my heat tool, holding the hearts in place with heat-resistant tweezers.

Next, I stamped the Background Basics 2 Stamps on the panel with Catherine Pooler Hot Tub Ink. I love the subtle pattern looks this creates! I applied 3D foam tape behind the panel and then attached it to my A2 sized card base. Then, I applied liquid glue to the back of each heart and adhered them to the card base.

Now, we can move onto the adorable stamped images! I stamped my images from the Foxy Friends Stamps and Party Pets Stamps. I colored the images in with Copic markers. The markers I used are:

Foxes: E50, E30, E31, YR000, YR20, YR21, YR23, YR24, YR27, R00, R20, R22, T8
Gifts: R20, R32, R35, R43, BG90, BG93, N1, N3, N5, N7
Birds: E93, E95, E97, E99, N1, N3, N5, N7

I also stamped my sentiment from the Party Pets Stamps with my WOW! Embossing pad on black cardstock. I applied WOW! Super Fine Opaque Bright White embossing powder to the glue, and then melted the powder with my heat tool.

I used the Party Pets Dies and Foxy Friends Dies to cut out all my images and sentiment. I adhered them to the card front using 2 layers of 3D foam squares for extra dimension. 
The final step was to add a few Silver Jewels. These foxy friends sure know how to have a party, don’t they?!  

Well, that’s it for me today, friends! Come back tomorrow for more inspiration! Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed my card!

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today. I'm so excited to share some inspirations for the new Spring Release. Today I am showcasing the new Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies. 

There are two sets of dies, Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies and Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies, that just came out. Both sets will die cut a set of three hearts with a beautiful faux stitching on the inside and outside of the cutting line. Both have fun extra dies that come along with them. These were so much fun to play with that I have created two Valentine's Day cards to share with you today. So let's get started. 

For my first card, I have a clean and simple faux shaker style card to share with you. I used the Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies to die cut the windows into a piece of white cardstock (4" x 5.5"). I stamped the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment from the new Foxy Friends Stamps set directly onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

Next, I stamped the penguin from the Passionate Penguins Stamps set and the heart balloons from the new Party Pets Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Passionate Penguins Dies and Party Pets Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7, W0/1, Y38 YR04, R30
Balloons: RV52/55/06/17

I adhered the penguin and balloons onto the white panel. Then added some foam tape to the back side of the panel before adhering it to a piece of patterned paper ( 4.25" x 5.5") from the Polka Dot Parade Paper Pack. I adhered the panel to a white card base (4.25" x 5.5") and finished the card with a few clear confetti sequins. 

For my second card, I decided to use the leftover hearts from the cards that I have created with these Window Trio Heart Dies as well as play with all of the fun bonus dies that come with both of these dies. I die cut all of the bonus dies from the Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies and Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies out of white, red, brown and gold cardstock. I adhered them together as shown in the pictures. 

For my layout, I used the Frilly Frames Polka Dot Dies to die cut a panel out of white cardstock. I took two pieces of pink cardstock. I used the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die to create the diamond pattern on one of the two pink pieces before using the medium sized die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies to trim the panel down to fit inside the white panel. I adhered the smaller pink panel onto the white panel and then onto the solid pink panel. I added my leftover white hearts, then adhered the bon bons and hearts with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. 

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner 1 Die to die cut a banner out of red cardstock. I stamped one of the sentiments from the new Foxy Friends Stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto the banner and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I assembled the banner die, added a couple of hearts from the center of the bonus key die from the Window Trio Heart Landscape Dies and adhered the banner to the panel with foam tape. Finally, the panel was adhered to a 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 cards. Be sure to check out the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Sneak Peek: Party Pets, Doggone Birthday & Inside Greetings Belated Birthday

Hello and welcome to day 4 of our Spring Sneak Peek Week!  All this week I have been sharing cards showcasing our newest collection, which will be available for purchase tomorrow morning!

Card No. 1: Today, I'm featuring cards with our new Party Pets, Doggone Birthday, and Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Stamps. The Party Pets Stamps feature adorable cats and dogs ready to celebrate. For this card, I paired the three dogs, balloons, and gifts from the set with the dachshund dog in the center from our Doggone Birthday Stamps. I framed them using our Stitched Rectangle Dies, which I mounted onto a balloon print from our Suprise Party Paper pack. This card is a bit oversized measuring 6" wide x 4.75" high. For my large script Birthday sentiment, I used our Big Bold Greetings Stamps with VersaFine Onyx Black ink.

Card No. 2: For this card, I started by die-cutting three stitched windows from my white cardstock panel using our Rounded Rectangle Window Dies. I then backed each opening using coordinating pink prints from our Gingham Pastels Paper and Flirty Flowers Paper packs. I tried to color the dog, cats, balloons, birthday cake, and party hat images from the Party Pets Stamps in complementary shades of red, pink, and tan using my Copic markers to match the patterned paper and add balance. I then paired the elements so that they each roughly filled the same space within their window and added a greeting by heat embossing the phrase "Happy Birthday to you" from our Happy Thoughts Stamps on a Brilliant Banner 3 Die cut from red cardstock.

Card No. 3: Up next, I used the cute kitty and the set of three-heart balloons from the new Party Pets Stamps with the Tulip Path Background Stamps to form my card scene. I colored the tulips and the windmill in shades of red and pink to match my balloons and give my card a Valentine's Day feel. I even colored my sky a cotton candy pink to match! I completed my card with the sentiment "You make me happy" from our Happy Thoughts Stamps. I love how it all came together!

Card No. 4: Similar to my second card today, I used the Rounded Rectangle Window Dies to create three horizontal windows on a vertically oriented card. I just love how versatile these dies are and how many options and combinations they provide within a single set! I filled each opening with green, yellow, and aqua-blue Swiss dot polka-dot prints I stamped using our new Background Basics 2 Stamps. For the center window, I stamped the bold "Happy Birthday" greeting that comes with the set, and then I built party scenes using the cats and other birthday elements from the Party Pets Stamps. When I was nearly done, I was in the process of adding some white highlights with my Sharpie Paint pen when the pen leaked and splattered a big glob in the middle of my scene, so I decided to disguise the boo-boo and cover it up using PinkFresh Studio Clear Drops in coordinating shades (linked below). As my good friend always says, there's no such thing as mistakes in crafting; it's just an excuse to embellish!

Card No. 5: I used the white cardstock leftovers that popped out when die-cutting my windows for the 2nd and 4th cards using our Rounded Rectangle Window Dies for this card. I couldn't resist the chance to use up every last piece! For my background, I blended a rainbow using distress inks, and then when I was done, I put the panel into my Misti tool and used those same 1" distress ink cubes to ink up our Background Basics 2 Stamps. Because the distress inks don't stamp as crisply as ordinary dye ink, I embraced the distressed look and splattered my panel with water and picket fence distress ink afterward. I also took it one step further and turned some splatters into stars using my Sharpie white paint pen.  I ran a strip of black cardstock through my machine three times with the same window die to form the ground for my critters within each scene. I then stacked the critters from the Party Pets Stamps with gifts and party hats to create the height I needed for each frame. Lastly, I heat-embossed a sentiment from our new Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Stamps onto a black speech bubble from our Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Dies. This might be the first time I've tried using a black speech bubble, but I really liked how it balanced out the other black in my card and popped against the rainbow background!

Card No. 6: I wanted the adorable pup from the Doggone Birthday Stamps to take center stage for this card. I set him in the center and repeatedly stamped the balloon from the Party Pets Stamps to look like a helium balloon bouquet that just got let go and is flying through the air. I stamped each balloon in colorful shades of Versafine Clair ink to get the no-line coloring look. While the balloon was still in my Misti tool, I carefully inked the balloon string using VersaFine Onyx Black ink. The simplicity of the balloon image made this surprisingly easy to do, and I love the results! I then heat set the images and colored them with coordinating Copic Markers. The only other element I added was a simple blue strip of cardstock with a stitched edge along the top using our Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. The strip not only helped ground the little dog but also gave me a good place to center the greeting from the Doggone Birthday Stamps just below the dog and her present.

Card No. 7: For this last card of the day featuring the Doggone Birthday Stamps, I thought it would be fun to show that it works just as well for holiday cards as it does for birthday cards. In this case, I created a Christmas thank you card and started by inking my card panel background with various green distress inks before sketching in some loose tree branches with my Copic Markers. I then layered in some holiday lights onto my tree using the border from our Scenic Route Stamps and added some ornaments using images from the Happy Owlidays Stamps. To add additional gifts under the tree and to match a similar scale to the gift in the Doggone Birthday set, I turned to the present from our Holiday Hugs Stamps, stamping it three times and coloring the gifts in different festive colors.

For my sentiment, I stamped the phrase "thank you so much" from the Words of Gratitude Stamps, the word "for" from the Enchanted Stamps, the word "the" from the Panda Party Stamps, and the word "gift" from the Inside Greetings Christmas Stamps. I've never pieced together a greeting using so many different stamp sets, but I had something very specific in mind for this card, and I realized we don't have any sentiments that say something similar.

That wraps up today's sneak peek. I'm so happy you joined me today! I'd love to give a $50 gift code to one lucky winner using the Rafflecopter below. Our daily contests will run through Saturday, January 11th at Midnight PST with winners announced here on Sunday, January 12th.
