Guest Designer Spotlight: Garden Critters Cards with Kavya

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog with some fun inspiration using this quarter's release. I absolutely love Spring and Mendi did an awesome job of designing products that pair well with products that were previously released :) 

For my first card, I tried creating a garden scene filled with adorable critters. I started off by ink blending my background using blue and yellow dye ink. For the grass, I used some green ink blended green cardstock. 

I then stamped and colored a bunch of images from Garden Critters stamp, Pink Peonies, Squirrel Friends, Fall Friends and Spring Showers stamp set. 

For my second card, I created a scene depicting a warm autumn afternoon where I am spending my time staring out my bedroom window! I started off by ink bending the brick background using a generic stencil and added some diecut grass at the bottom. 

I then stamped and colored a bunch of images from Garden Critters stamp, A Bird's Life and Kiddie Pool stamp sets. I created the window using Wonderful Windows Dies and added some extra dimension to the windows using a copic markers. 

That's it and I am done! I loved how both these cards turned out and decided to skip the sentiments so that I can use them for any occasion. 

I hope you liked these projects! Happy crafting!

Watering Can Cards with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone! Isha here today with a fun shaker card featuring the new Watering Can stamps and coordinating dies. I love making flat shaker cards as they are easy to mail.

To start, I sponged a white card using peacock feathers distress ink to create the sky. I then added a few splatters in the same colour. Next, I die-cut the watering can from this piece. Stamp the watering can on a piece of white card, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere the can to the cardbase using the front panel as guide for the position.

Adhere acetate behind the opening on the front panel. adhere score tape all around the opening so the shaker hearts won't come out.

Die-cut hearts using the Bursting Hearts die. Color the hearts using pink and gold watercolor. Put some hearts onto the can on the card base, remove the scor tape from the top layer and adhere to the cardbase. The flat shaker element is ready.

Stamp the images, color and die-cut using the following sets:
Lilacs - Lovely Lilacs and the coordinating dies
Snail, Fairy - Garden Fairy and the coordinating dies
Butterflies - Watering Can and the coordinating dies
Row of houses - Charming City
Congrats - Country Carnival

Die-cut the grass using the Picket Fence Border die. I used the pattern paper from the Flirty Flowers paper pack. Assemble everything together. To finish, add some glitter to the fairy wings. Thanks for dropping by. Have a nice day!

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun project. I love the new Watering Can layering stamp from this release! It’s just the perfect size for any of the previous floral releases too. I paired it with one of my favorite floral cards to create a card perfect for any occasion! 

I first started off by ink blending the background using Victorian Velvet and Tea Dye distress oxide inks. Whenever I am out of color combo ideas, this happens to be my go to color for a background! It’s pairs well with any color :) then, I added a strip of patterned paper from Dots and Stripes Pastels to create a background that looks like a table. 

Then, I created my Watering Can by using two shades of teal inks and added some florals from Pink Peonies to finish off my card :) 

That’s it! I hope this project inspires you :) Happy Crafting!

Lovey Dovey Cards with Vanessa and Audrey

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a slimline card using the wonderful Lovey Dovey set.

I started with a panel of white cardstock and stamped the cute bear from Bear Hugs. Then I die-cut the moon shape from masking paper using the Stitched Circle Large Dies and masked the moon and the bear image. I inked the background with Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide inks and added clouds with a cloud stencil. 

After I had removed the masks, I colored the moon and the bear with Copics and drew the string with a black marker. I added stars with a white gel pen and adhered the panel to my blue card base. Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto vellum, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, die-cut the element with the matching die and adhered it to the card.

I love sentiments with matching dies, this makes them so versatile! Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by today!

Hello friends! Audrey here with a Lovey Dovey card to share with you! 

To create this card, I started out with a piece of white cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25". I stamped a sentiment from the Lovey Dovey stamp set in black ink and then used the coordinating dies to cut a post-it note to mask off the sentiment. Then, I used the Pink Peonies stamp set to stamp flowers and leaves around the sentiment. I masked off each flower and stamped the leaves for an almost one layer card. I colored the images with the Tombow ABT PRO Alcohol Markers, in the red and green sets, which were kindly sent to me for my review. The colors are bright and vibrant, and I love the brush tip. They blend well and work nicely in combination with the Copic Markers. 

When everything was colored, I splattered on some white watered down acrylic paint before removing the mask that I had placed over the sentiment. Before popping the panel up on a white A2 card base, I added a strip of coordinating striped paper from the All is Bright 6x6 paper pad. To finish off my card, I added a scattering of sparkling clear sequins.

Words of Gratitude Cards with Mayra and Ashley

Hello everyone. Happy Monday. Mayra is here with you today. I am sharing this card using the lovely new Words of Gratitude stamp set. 

I began by coloring the beautiful peonies from the Pink Peonies set. The images are in a light color to give the no-line coloring look. I used R81, R83, R59, R56, R39, and R35 for the burgundy-colored peonies, YR30, YR21, YR23, YR24, and E99 for the rusty yellow-colored peonies. For the green, I used G40, YG03, YG17, YG67, YG63, G94, and G99.

Next, I used the large rectangle from the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil die set along with the intricate die-cut panel to die cut the base of the card from white cardstock. Then, I die-cut an oval using the Stitched Oval Dies 2 set. I then die-cut the thank-you phrase using the thank-you from the Slimline Scalloped Frame dies set. I stamped the sentiment from the Words of Gratitude set onto a small banner. 

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I pray you each have a wonderful and blessed day.

Hello friends! It's Ashley today with a simple and elegant card featuring the Words of Gratitude set. I am so happy that Sunny Studio has a whole set just for thank you cards now! I make them all the time and it's so nice to have so many options for wording, especially when combined with the new Thank You Words dies!

I mentioned last week how much I love the new leaf patterned paper in the Sweater Weather paper pack, so I used that paper as my inspiration for my card this week. I started by cutting a piece of white cardstock with the largest Stitched Rectangle die. I used two of the leaves from the new Winter Greenery die set several times on white cardstock until I had a small pile of them. I then glued the leaves randomly around my white stitched rectangle, trimming off any over hang when I was done. I love the dimensional tone on tone look of all the white! 

I added my white leafy background to the magenta piece of leaves paper from Sweater Weather. I cut the "thank you" word die from the same patterned paper, then twice more from a pretty burgundy cardstock in my stash. I glued all the die cuts together for a dimensional sentiment. I stamped the rest of the sentiment from Words of Gratitude onto more burgundy cardstock in VersaMark ink and embossed with white. I added the strips to the card first, then the dimensional words so they really popped above the rest of the sentiment. To finish, I added a few magenta and burgundy pearls from the Rainbow Pearls embellishment pack.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
