The Graduate Card with Tina H

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and for all the grads in your life, we got you covered with the cute The Graduate stamp and die set!

Let’s start with our card base which is made from a bright blue paper from my stash. My next layer is a white piece cut with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Polka-Dots. As extra detail, I embossed this panel with the Dotted Diamond Landscape die. I love adding these small steps which truly elevate a card!

My next product, the Scalloped Square Tag dies will become one of my favourites, I just got it and I already think it’s so cute and versatile! It’s the perfect size to frame smaller scenes! For this piece, I used a beautiful blue paper from Gingham Pastels.

My graduate is just the sweetest hedgehog from Quill Cuties, he looks adorable with his little cap and diploma (The Graduate). To complete the scene, I added a pile of books (Grad Cat) for him to sit on. All the coloring was done with my Copics and I added sparkly gold details with a gel pen.

I used one of the sentiments from The Graduate set and I love that it comes with a matching die! (Versafine Onyx Black ink). To embellish my square tag, I added a little blue bow (Wicker Basket). Of course, I needed some bling too, this time I went with the Champagne Clear Jewels.

I hope to see all your sweet grad cards with this sweet set! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Afternoon Tea Gift Bag with Marieke

Hello all, Marieke here. I'm back again with my weekly post for Sunny Studio Stamps. Today I hope to inspire you with a project that I made using the Afternoon Tea Stamps. 

When I saw the Afternoon Tea Stamps I straight away knew I wanted to create something else then a card. These stamps scream teabag gifting so that is what I did. I made a small gift that can contain up to six teabags. 

So for the bag you need the following pieces of cardstock and pattern paper:
2x 3 x 6 1/2 inch white strips of cardstock
7x rectangles 2 x 3 inch of pink cardstock
1x rectangle 2 x 3 inch of pattern paper
2x strips 4 x 6 inch of pattern paper

Score the white strips of cardstock at 5 inch, and chop both of the top corners. Pierce a hole in the middle and glue them together on the 1.5 inch part. For the front part add a piece of pink cardstock and the pattern paper rectangle. For my project I used the Rainbow Bright Paper pad.

Stamped the sentiment out of the Afternoon Tea to the front of the gift using a pink ink. To create the inside of the gift I scored both pattern paper pieces on 1/2 inch to create an accordion fold. Adhered the pink cardstock rectangles in every fold. And glued them on the inside of the base. Filled them up with teabags and finished it off with some twine.

Used Copic Colors:
Quill - E55, E53, E51, E50 / R21, R00 / E79, E77, E74
White / Silver - C5, C3, C1, C00, 0
Green - YG67, YG63, YG03
Soft Pink - R85, R83, R81
Hard Pink - RV17, RV14
Yellow - Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11
Blue - B02, B00, B000, 0

Stamped the images out of Afternoon Tea and Quill Cuties colored them up using my Copic markers. Cut them using the matching Afternoon Tea and Quill Cuties Dies. Finished off by adding some Wink of Stella glitter to the "Diamond" and the hearts.

Have a wonderful day!

Designer's Choice: Quill Cuties Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I’m sharing a card featuring my favorite hedgehog from the Quill Cuties Stamps and the Woodgrain Embossing Folder!

I stamped three of the cute hedgehog with hearts on a string from the Quill Cuties Stamps set, three of the envelopes, three of the notecards and three of the hearts from the Vintage Valentine Stamps set on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below. I then die cut the images using the coordinating Quill Cuties Dies, and the Vintage Valentine Dies.

Copic colors used:
Hedgehogs: N3/4/5/6, W0/1/3, R00/30/32
Envelopes: B000/0000, 0
Hearts: R22/35/37

Next, I trimmed a piece of light blue card stock from my stash to 3,75 x 5 inches, placed it inside the Woodgrain embossing folder, applied darker blue ink inside the folder on the opposite side of the panel, closed the embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine to create a nice tone on tone blue woodgrain texture.

I then trimmed a piece of black cardstock for a frame to go behind my woodgrain panel and adhered them to my white A2 size card base, using double sided tape.

I tucked the note cards and the hedgehogs into the envelopes securing them with scotch tape on the back. I added foam dots to the back of the envelopes and adhered them to the woodgrain panel.

I used the hugs die from the Scalloped Oval Mat 3 Dies set, die cut three pieces from black card stock and glued them together for dimension using liquid glue.
Lastly, I adhered the hugs and the three hearts to the woodgrain panel using liquid glue!

Thank you for stopping by! Wishing you all a happy and colorful day!

Zig Zag Circles Die Focused Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I’m sharing a card featuring the Zig Zag Circle Dies!

I started by die cutting the next largest of the Zig Zag Circles Dies from alcohol ink friendly card stock and stamped the tile floor from the Sprawling Surfaces Stamp set. Next, I stamped the cute hedgehog in the bathtub, a few rubber ducks, the soap bar, the shampoo bottle, a heart and some bubbles from the Quill Cuties Stamp set on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below. I then die cut the images using the coordinating Quill Cuties Dies.

Copic colors used:
Hedgehog: N3/5/6/8, W0/1/3, R30/32
Bathtub: R22/35/37/39, Y26/28
Rubber duck: YR04, Y15/17
Soap bar & Shampoo bottle: BG11/13
Heart: R22/35
Tile floor: BG10/11/13, W1

Next, I ink blended the “wall” part of the Zig Zag Circle using turquoise ink and then stamped the sentiment, also from the Quill Cuties Stamps. I added foam dots to the back of my die cut pieces and adhered them to the Zig Zag Circle.

I trimmed a piece of turquoise Polka-dot Parade paper to 4,25 x 5,5 inches to cover my A2 size card base. Next, I trimmed a piece of white card stock 3,5 x 5,5 inches and a piece of red card stock 3,25 x 5,5 adhering them together on the polka dot card base. I added foam dots to the back of the Zig Zag Circle and adhered it to the center of the red panel.

Thank you for stopping by! Wishing you all a happy and colorful day!

Speech Bubbles Extras Die Focused Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I have a fun rainbow card for you using the Speech Bubbles Extras Dies!

I started by stamping the cute hedgehogs, hearts, gift boxes and party hats from the Quill Cuties Stamp set and the wooden floor from the Sprawling Surfaces Stamp set on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below. I then die cut the images out using the coordinating Quill Cuties dies and trimmed the wooden floor piece to 1 x 5 inches.

Copic colors used:
Hedgehogs: W0/1/3/5/7, R00/30/32
Large gift box: BG01/02/05, RV52/55/66
Hearts: R22/35/37
Party hats: YG03/17, BG01/02 and RV52/55, YR04, Y17
Small gift boxes: Y15/17, BG01/02 and RV52/55 and YG03/17
Wooden floor: E21/23/25

Next, I trimmed a piece of white card stock to 5 x 3,75 inches, and ink blended a rainbow panel using pink, orange, yellow, green and turquoise ink. I then adhered my floor piece to the bottom of the panel.

Using three of the Speech Bubbles Extras Dies I ran them with the rainbow panel through my die cutting machine.  I then stamped my greetings from the Vintage Valentine Stamps, and the Quill Cuties Stamps set on the rainbow speech bubbles. I also die cut three extras of each of the speech bubbles from black card stock, and glued them all together for dimension.

I trimmed a piece of pink Polka-dot Parade Paper to 4,25 x 5,5 inches to cover my A2 size card base. Next, I trimmed a piece of black cardstock for a frame to go behind my rainbow panel and adhered them to the card base, using double sided tape.

To get a shadow effect, I placed the speech bubbles a little to the left and slightly up letting the black card stock underneath peek through. I added foam dots to the back of the hedgehogs and the gifts for dimension and adhered them to the card.

Thank you for stopping by! Wishing you all a happy and colorful day!

Zig Zag Circles Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I have a birthday card to share with you featuring these adorable Quill Cuties, the Sydney Alphabet Dies and the Zig Zag Circles Dies.

I stamped the images from the Quill Cuties Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Quill Cuties Dies to diecut them out. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Hedgehogs: E00/21/11/13, E33/99, R20
Tub: C00/0/1
Bubbles: B000/00
Ducks: Y11/13/15, Y38, R20
Soap: B000

For the background, I used the Quilted Hearts Portrait Die to diecut a panel out of white cardstock. I adhered it to a piece of pink cardstock. I used the largest die from the Zig Zag Circles Dies to diecut a a circle out of pink cardstock. Finally, I used the largest die from the Stitched Circle Small Dies to diecut a circle out of white cardstock and lightly ink blended some Spun Sugar and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide inks. I added a few pink dots with a Copic marker (RV10).

For the sentiment, I stamped the “It’s Your Birthday!” sentiment from the Little Birdie Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the edge of the white stitched circle. I tucked one of the hedgehogs behind the white circle and peeking over the edge. I adhered the white circle to the pink circle with foam tape.

I used the Sydney Alphabet Dies to diecut the RELAX 2 times out of black cardstock and highlighted with a white gel pen. I layered and adhered the two sets of the letters with liquid adhesive. The pink circle and RELAX were adhered to the panel with liquid glue. The colored images were adhered to the panel with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape for additional dimension and interest. Finally, the card front was adhered to an A2 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 card. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.
