Fresh Lemon Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a punny and zesty card to share with you featuring the Fresh Lemon Dies and Build-a-Bowl Dies.

I used the Fresh Lemon Dies and the Build-a-Bowl Dies to diecut several lemons and the bowl out of white and green cardstock. I also used the Strawberry Patch Dies to diecut three flowers. Squeezed Lemon, Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber DIstress Oxide inks were used to "color" the lemons. I assembled the lemons inside the bowl and adhered them to each other.

For the layout, I used the Frilly Frames Polka Dot Dies to create an eyelet edge on a piece of pink cardstock. 

For the sentiment, I diecut the letters for the word ZEST out of white cardstock twice using the Chloe Alphabet Dies. The letters were layered and adhered to each other with liquid adhesive. For the subsentiment, I stamped the words "you're simply the" from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps directly onto the pink panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered the ZEST below.

The bowl of lemons was adhered to the panel with foam tape for some dimension. A piece of craft foam was adhered to the back of the pink panel before it was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5"). The card was finished with a few Majestic Clear Confetti.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspiration.

Strawberry Patch Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, live from my Strawberry Patch! I picked some bright and juicy strawberries, put them all in my Build A Bowl colander, and now I'm heading to the kitchen to cook them into jam and pies.

I started by creating the background using pattern papers along with the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die. For the sky, I picked a paper from the Summer Splash pack. I added a little bit of salty ocean distress ink to the edges, mixed that same distress ink with water, added blue splatters to my cloudy panel using a slim brush, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. For the grass, I picked a paper from the Dots & Stripes Pastels pack and cut a border using a die from the Picket Fence Border die set. I applied mowed lawn distress ink to the edges of the grass border, mixed that same ink with water, added green splatters to the grass border, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

To add more interest to my little scene, I cut a Picket FenceBorder out of white woodgrain cardstock, added pumice stone distress ink at the top of each pointy plank and texture using the same ink, and then white splatters.

While my pieces of paper were drying, I cut the elements out of textured grey cardstock to create a colander using the Build A Bowl die set. I added hickory smoke distress ink to the edges of each piece, as well as white splatters, and then glued them all to assemble my colander. I also created a bunch of strawberries using the Strawberry Patch die set. I used matching distress inks to add more depth to each element, added white splatters and then set everything aside to dry.

I stamped my "I couldn't ask for a sweeter friend" sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings stamp set at the very top of my cloudy panel, and next I assembled the background. First I attached the cloud panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel using 1mm foam tape. I stuck the grass border using 1mm foam tape as well, and then attached the fence using liquid glue, tucking the bottom parts right behind the grass sprigs.

I filled the inside of the colander with strawberries and leaves using liquid glue, added more on top using foam squares, and then attached the colander to my panel using foam squares again. I added a couple more strawberries and leaves on both sides of the colander, and finally attached my panel to a white card base. 

And that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week.

Summer Fruit-Themed Dies 4-Card Set with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fruit-themed cards for Summer using a variety of dies and our Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps. Once again for all four of my cards, I stuck with a single design which I repeated, changing only the images, patterned papers, and the different greetings from the same stamp set.

Card No.1: My first card focuses on the strawberries, blossoms, and leaves from the Strawberry Patch Dies. For all of my cards today, I started by die-cutting a white scalloped panel 5-1/2" x 3-5/8" using the lacy edge die from our Slimline Pennant Dies set. I then added a stitched strip from Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I had in my head that I wanted to add a ribbon bow without any bulk, but Sunny Studio doesn't have a die like this already in our line-up so I borrowed one from another company that was just the right size to match using Lawn Fawn's Platform Pop-up Dies. I added a diagonal green striped print from our Sleek Stripes Paper pack along the bottom of my card and stamped a sweet greeting to match my card's scene using our Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

Card No. 2: My second card combines the lemon slices from the Fresh Lemon Dies, the Strawberries from the Strawberry Patch Dies, and the cherries from the Wild Cherry Dies. This time I switched out the patterned paper to match my lemon for a yellow gingham print from our Gingham Pastel Paper pack.

Card No. 3: For my next card I focused on using both seed variations from our Juicy Watermelon Dies, switching out my bow for a green one this time and opting for a red striped print from our Sleek Stripes Paper pack. I can't get enough of these fresh colors for summer! This card reminds me of one of my daughter's favorite Gymboree tops from way back when.

Card No. 4: Lastly, I have a card combining lemons and limes from our Fresh Lemon Dies with the wired basket from our Build-a-Bowl Dies. I added a coral-colored bow to match the one grapefruit citrus slice and a yellow striped patterned paper from our Sleek Stripes Paper pack. This particular scene took up more space than the others in my set, so I added a stacked sentiment "sending you a big squeeze" in the top right corner instead of all lined up below the scene like I did for my other cards.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today.💛

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").

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and are inspired to create your own front door card. Be sure to check out the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and inspirations. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

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.
