Distinctive Door Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh. I am excited to be back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today to share this fun birthday card featuring the Distinctive Door Dies and the Brilliant Banner 4 Dies from the latest release. I had so much fun playing with this Distinctive Door Dies set! It's like custom building a house where you can mix and match designs and colors. The set is so versatile and can be used for so many different occasions: Birthdays, New Home, Welcome Home to name a few. And the door can be decorated for holiday cards: Valentine's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Today, I used it to make a birthday card for these partying pandas. 

I stamped the pandas from the Panda Party Stamp set and the bouquet of balloons from the Floating By Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Panda Party Dies were used to diecut them out. I fussy cut the bouquet of balloons so as to preserve the attached balloon strings. I colored them with Copic markers and accented them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Panda: C00/0/1/3/5/7, R00/20
Pink: RV000/00/02
Red: R22/24/29
Orange: Y17/38 YR04/07
Yellow balloons: Y11/13/15/17 
Yellow lights: Y11
Green: YG01/03/17
Blue: B000/00/02/04
White: T0/1

I diecut the door and the accessories from the Distinctive Door Dies from a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. I also diecut the hardware on the door silver shine cardstock and the lights with black cardstock for a more realistic look. I lightly colored some of the edges of the white elements and lights with Copic markers (T0/1, Y11) for a bit of dimension and realism. The bushes were colored in with the same green as the balloon (YG01/03/17).

For the background, I took a piece of tan colored cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and added a slim strip of gray colored cardstock to the bottom edge for the ground. I assembled the elements of the door and adhered them to the panel with a combination of liquid adhesive and foam tape.

For the sentiment, I diecut the Brilliant Banner 4 Dies out of a red cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamp set and some hearts from the Passionate Penguins Stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto the banners before heat embossing with Fine Detail White Embossing powder. I assembled and attached the banner and attached the banner to the panel with liquid adhesive. Finally, I attached the panel to a white top folding cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").

Designer's Choice: Tropical Birds Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today and I couldn’t resist sharing another card featuring the Tropical Birds Stamps!

I started with the background panel by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock using a Stitched Rectangle Die. I inked the top half lightly with Spun Sugar Distress ink and the bottom half with Simon Says Stamp Celery ink. I splattered a little watered down Dr. Ph Martin’s Bleed Proof White with a fan brush and adhered the panel to an A2 card front.

Next, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock using the Snowflake Circle Frame Die. I inked an ocean scene on the center portion of the die-cut. I inked a cloud stencil from my stash with Spun Sugar Distress ink at the top and inked the ocean with Simon Says Stamp Seafoam ink. I stamped the sentiment using stamps from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps and A Bird’s Life Stamps and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder for a little shine. I then adhered the frame approximately 1/2" from the top edge of the card.

To finish, I die-cut leaves from white cardstock using the Summer Greenery Dies and inked them with Crushed Olive/Peeled Paint Distress inks and Simon Says Stamps Celery ink. I adhered them along the bottom of the circle frame. 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/dies:

Tropical Birds Stamps/Dies

Tropical Scenes Stamps/Dies (palm trees)

I die-cut 4 flowers from white cardstock using the flower from the Strawberry Patch Dies, colored them with Copics and added them along the vine.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Wild Cherry Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hi there! Leanne here sharing a cherryful card today. I simply could not resist adding the fun play on words to my card featuring how I've used the Wild Cherry dies. 

This A2 card design is very easy to make. I started by creating a soft minty background with scalloped edge detail. To get this detail, I used the Frilly Frame Hexagon die to create a mask that covers the edges of the card front and then I applied the ink in the negative space. The minty aqua color is Catherine Pooler Hot Tub. 

I die cut 7 cherries, stems, and leaves from white card stock. I used small blending brushes and the following Catherine Pooler inks to color: Peppermint Scrub for the cherries, Matcha + Spruce for the leaves, Over Coffee for the stems. 

I arranged the cherries along the bottom half of the card front so I'd have room above them to add a custom greeting. The stamped part of the sentiment are words included in the Punny Fruit Greetings stamp set. I used the Hayley Lower Case Alphabet dies to cut out letters that spell "cherryful". I cut the letters from white card stock and colored with a combo of Peppermint Scrub and Merlot CP inks. To finish this design I added a few green sequins scattered around the greeting area.

Fresh Lemon Die Focused Tags with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back with this lovely trio of citrus Scalloped Square Tags showcasing Fresh Lemon, a die set that I like a lot because besides cutting beautiful lemon shapes, it also adds some amazing texture to your die-cut pieces. So fun!

I started off by cutting all the Fresh Lemon bits and pieces out of colored cardstock, assembled them using liquid glue, and then cut everything to build my tags. Each tag was made the same way, so here are the different steps to build one:

1. Cut a large Scalloped Square Tag out of light brown woodgrain cardstock, and cut a window out of it using the fifth smallest Stitched Square die to create a frame

2. Cut a large Scalloped Square Tag out of vellum

3. Cut a large Scalloped Square Tag out of pattern paper (I cut one out of a Summer Splash lemon paper, one out of a All Is Bright red paper, and one out of a Surprise Party green paper)

4. Attach the vellum tag to the pattern paper tag using liquid glue on the very edges

5. Attach the light brown woodgrain frame to the vellum tag using 1mm foam squares

6. Stamp a Punny Fruit Greeting on the upper part of the vellum section using white stazon white (I went for "You're my main squeeze", "Squeeze the day", and "Sending you a big squeeze")

7. Cut a Scalloped Square Tag out of colored cardstock, and stick it at the back of the pattern paper tag to make the back of it nice and clean

8. Add ribbon and twine to make a handle

Next I attached my Fresh Lemon die-cut pieces on each tag using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel, and finished each tag by gluing matching clay heart confetti on each side of the greetings.

And that's it! These tags were so fun to make, super easy and quick, and I hope they have inspired you to create your own. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Strawberry Patch Die Focused Card with Nicky

Hello there, this is Nicky with you today on the blog and I'm sharing a circular card, featuring our Strawberry Patch Dies, that was inspired by a photo I saw online of a cake decorated with fresh strawberries including the leaves and flowers.

To create this card I die cut two large circles of white cardstock which would form the front and back of my card base. With the back panel, I cut a sliver off at what would be the bottom so that it would stand up without rolling around when it was being displayed and at the top I scored a line that would form a 'hinge' and above the line I added ScorPal tape and then adhered the front and back panels together.

I did some soft ink blending on the front panel using Blush Pink ink by The Stamp Market. I splattered on some water and blotted it up then dotted in a little interest with Copic markers just to distress it a little.

I used the Strawberry Patch Dies to die cut sturdy white cardstock and made a juicy pile of strawberries by ink blending the parts. I used Lipstick Red and Gumdrop by The Stamp Market to blend. I then began building a 'wreath' of strawberries and their leaves around the edge of the 'cake' that I had been inspired by.  Building and gluing until I had gone all the way around and then for balance I tucked in the odd extra leaf or two and then added the little flowers.

To finish it up I grabbed the Punny Fruit Greetings stamp set and some black sentiment strips. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark Ink and heat embossed in white and added these strips to the centre of the cake using dimensional foam tape.

Last but not least, I stamped around the sentiments using 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation impressions of the little heart included in the sentiment stamp set and the same Lipstick Red ink I had blended the strawberries with. Card done! Slice of cake anyone?

Thanks for reading the blog today and I'll see you next Friday with something new.

Summer Jar Mug Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here to share a friendship card featuring the Summer Jar Mug. I have made the jar mug into a shaker for this card and I've colored plus filled it to look like a refreshing cup full of pink lemonade. 

Here's a list of the Sunny Studio products you'll need to create this A2 card design: 

Summer Jar Mug dies - for the mug, straw, and tiny lemon slice die cuts 
Scalloped Oval Mat 3 dies - for the scalloped oval mat
Punny Fruit Greetings -  for the stamped words "friends make life" 
Sweet Word die -  for the die cut word "sweet"
Strawberry Patch dies - for the tiny flower die cut
Classic Gingham Paper - for the gingham background mat

The Sweet Word die is retired but if you don't have it you can use alphabet dies to spell out the word. The Hayley Upper Case or Chloe Alphabet dies would work great! 

To make this jar mug into a fun shaker, I have adhered several layers of the jar mug frame together. I die cut one solid mug shape for the back and 5 layers of the open mug frame to make it thick enough to allow for the shaker bits to move around freely. I filled the shaker well with tiny pink balls and iridescent confetti bits. I then adhered clear acetate and one final mug frame piece over top. The back solid piece and top frame piece were lightly colored with pink ink prior to assembly to enhance the pink lemonade look. 

When adhering the jar mug frame layers together to build up the shaker well, be sure to include the straw in between two layers toward the back. I forgot to do this and after I had my shaker completely assembled, I had to cut a small slit in the back to slide the straw inside the mug.
