Just Bee-Cause Card with Marine

Bzzz bzzz crafty friends! This is Marine here, and I'm super happy to be back with this extra buzzzy slimline card featuring Mr Bear and his bee friends. Another mix & match that I very much enjoyed working on.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I used the coordinating dies to cut them all and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph’it brush markers. Browns and greens for the branches, and of course a black and yellow color palette for the bees, beehives and Mr Bear's accessories.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Just Bee-Cause - bees, beehives • Holiday Hugs - bear • Little Birdie - branches • Garden Critters - watering can • Chubby Bunny + Chickie Baby - flowers.

Once the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and moved on to the background. I cut a 7,75 x 2,75 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel using the stitched mat die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set, and I covered the entire panel with clouds using a cloudy stencil from my stash along with salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks. I splattered water all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added more splatters to the panel using a slim brush, and then I did the same with peacock feathers oxide ink for more contrast.

I used the same slimline die as my main panel to cut two pieces out of green cardstock, and cut a grass border out of each piece using a die from the Picket Fence die set. I added a little bit of rustic wilderness oxide ink to the edges of both borders, mixed a little bit of that same ink with water and added green splatters to the borders, as well as white ink splatters, and then I white heat embossed "Just bee-cause" from Just Bee-Cause on the smallest grass border.

I assembled and attached everything to my panel, starting at the very bottom with the largest grass border first using 1mm foam squares. Next I stuck Mr Bear using the same foam adhesives, added the small grass border on the foreground using 2mm foam squares, and then attached the rest of the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares again.

Next I created the card base and first cut a slimline scalloped panel out of dark gray cardstock using another die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set, I cut an 8 x 3 inches white slimline panel that I attached to the scalloped panel using 1mm foam tape, and stuck my scene panel to the white panel using liquid glue. I attached the whole thing to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches dark yellow card base, and to complete my card, I applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the bees wings to make them sparkle.

And that's it! Another super cute and fun mix & match that turned out pretty cool I think. I hope that you like it too! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Kiddie Pool Card with Amanda

Happy Tuesday, crafty friends, Amanda here! I hope you had a great weekend and your week is off to a great start! Over the weekend, we celebrated my nephew’s 9th birthday and today, I’m sharing the card I made for him with YOU!  

This card looks so dimensional, but it really only has a few layers! My background layer is a piece of white cardstock that I blended Catherine Pooler’s Oh Boy ink with a blending brush. I spritzed it with water and added a few dots of white acrylic paint.

The fence was cut from the Picket Fence Dies. I didn’t do anything to this fence, I just glued it straight to the background! So simple!

The grass layer was also cut using the Picket Fence Dies. I ink blended Altenew’s Olive and Bamboo inks with a blending brush to create that gorgeous green! Again, I spritzed it with a water bottle and added some white acrylic paint dots. I used 3D foam tape behind the grass and adhered it to the front of my card.

I used a combination of a few stamp sets to get my images. I used the Party Pets Stamps, the Beach Buddies Stamps and the Kiddie Pool Stamps. I colored all of the images with Copic markers and then added highlights with a dot tool and the white acrylic paint. Then, I die cut them out with their coordinating dies.

I applied 3D foam squares behind the images and then adhered them to the card. The balloons in the background were adhered using glue, though, so they look farther away!

I had so much fun making card for my nephew and he loved it! Thanks so much for coming by the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today! I hope you have a great rest of your week!

Designer's Choice: Chickie Baby Card with Leanne

Hello there! Leanne here today. Can you believe Easter is just a few days away? I thought this was the perfect time to share an Easter card. I have created a cheerful little scene featuring images from the Chickie Baby and Bunnyville stamp sets. 

This card is A2 size. I used the largest die Rounded Rectangle Mat set to create the pink mat which perfectly frames the scene. I used the second largest die in the set for the scene mat and grass layer. The grass die can be found in the Picket Fence die set. 

As I mentioned I used two stamp sets to create the scene.  The chicks and eggs are from the Chickie Baby stamp set. The tulips, butterflies, and greeting are from the Bunnyville stamp set.

I used Copic markers to color the images. chicks(Y11, Y32, Y15, YR12) tulips(YR12, YR18, YG11, YG13) small flowers(RV13, RV14, YG11, YG13) egg colors(RV13, RV14, Y11, Y13, BG11, BG13) butterflies(V22, V25)

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope everyone has a wonderful week and Happy Easter to those who are celebrating!

Tulip Path Background Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here to share a bright and cheerful spring card. I used the bunnies, butterflies, and cloud images from the Tulip Path Background stamp set plus a mix of other Sunny Studio supplies to create my own tulip garden scene.

Here is what you'll need besides the Tulip Path Background stamp set to recreate this A2 sized card:

- Classic Gingham Paper (for the orange gingham mat)

- Rounded Rectangle Mat dies (to give the scene mat it's faux stitching and rounded corners)

- Picket Fence Border dies (for the fence and grass border)

- Big Bunny stamp set (for the greeting)

Copics used to color the images are listed below: 
bunnies (E41, E42, E43, R00, R20)  pink tulips (RV13, RV14, RV17)  orange tulips (YR12, YR14, YR18)  tulip leaves (YG11, YG13, YG17)  butterflies (Y11, Y15)  shading on clouds (B000, B00)

This scene came together easily with this fun combo of supplies. I love how the fence adds the perfect backdrop for the tulips and bunnies who are enjoying a warm spring day.
