Two Scoops Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, back with a super duper extra colorful birthday card showcasing Two Scoops. I've had this stamp set in my stash for a very long time, and I knew that when I'd use it, it would be on a rainbow themed card. So here we are!

I started off with all the stamping, and the Two Scoops layering stamps are super easy to line up, so even if it looks like the stamping took a million years, it actually did not, it actually was pretty quick. Here is a detailed list of the Lawn Fawn premium dye inks I used to stamp everything, from light to dark:

• pink - ballet slippers + peachy keen + guava

• orange - peach fuzz + carrot + fake tan

• yellow - butter + lemonade + sunflower

• green - celery stick + freshly cut grass + jalapeno

• aqua - kiddie pool + merman + peacock

• purple - fresh lavender + grape jelly + sugarplum

• cones - pizza crust + doe

Once the stamping was done, I cut the images using the matching dies, mixed some copic opaque white ink with water, and used a slim brush to add white splatters to each image. I also picked matching distress inks, mixed each of them with water, added more splatters to the ice-creams, and then I did the same with matching distress spritz for sparkling details.

Next I cut a slimline panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using a die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set, and used distress inks to create watercolored splashes, giving the illusion of melting ice-cream. I mixed each ink with water, and from left to right, I applied the colors with a fluffy brush: worn lipstick, spiced marmalade, mustard seed, mowed lawn, peacock feathers and wilted violet. I let the paper dry, and then added more ink to get different shades on each splash of colors.

I added water splatters all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, I mixed the same distress inks with water and used a slim brush to add matching splatters, next I did the same with copic opaque white ink, and then with matching distress spritz for shine and sparkles.

Once my watercolored panel was dry, I attached it to a slightly larger slimline aqua panel using liquid glue, and then worked on the rainbow scalloped panel. I started by cutting multiple strips out of colored cardstock using a strip die from the Ribbon & Lace Borders die set. I attached each strip of paper to a large piece of cardstock in this order: pink, orange, yellow, green, aqua and purple, and then used the scalloped die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set to cut my rainbow strips panel. I attached this panel to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches white card base using 1mm foam tape, and then stuck my watercolored panel on top using foam tape again.

For my greeting, I cut two fishtail banners using a die from the Notebook Photo Corners die set: a pink one and a gold glitter one, and I white heat embossed "Hope you have a sweet birthday" from Summer Sweet on the pink one. I stuck the pink banner on top of the gold glitter one, shifted them for a little bit of more fun, using 1mm foam squares, and finally attached my banner at the bottom right hand corner of my card using foam squares again.

And that's it! I very much love how it all turned out, with all those beautiful layering stamps matching with the splashes of colors in the background. I hope that you like it too. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Cat Antics Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm happy to be back with this colorful and festive birthday card showcasing a mix & match of recent and previously released items, including Cat Antics from the Spring 2025 release. I've created this card as a companion to the Party Pets slimline card I shared a few weeks ago, and I love how they're both different but compliment each other very well.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers in a color palette I really love: pink, orange and yellow, with touches of brown. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Cat Antics - cats • Party Pets - balloons, party hats, presents • Holiday Express - train • Balloon Rides - banners.

Next I cut multiple stripes out of colored cardstock using a Ribbon & Lace Border die, and attached them all on a slightly smaller panel than the regular A2 size using liquid glue. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to my stripe panel, and then did the same with fossilized amber distress spritz for a touch of gold. Once it was dry,  I stuck my stripe panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel, and then the whole thing to a white card base.

I cut three squares out of different Gingham Pastels papers using the 1-1/2 inch Stitched Square die, attached those squares on the upper part of my card using 1mm foam squares, I stuck all the images using foam squares again, and then added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

For my sentiment, I cut a speech bubble out of vellum using a Comic Strip Speech Bubbles die, I gold heat embossed "Make A Wish" from Make A Wish on the vellum bubble, and attached it on my panel using transparent foam squares. To finish my card, I glued a scattering of mini star confetti to add even more cuteness and shine to my panel. 

And that's it! I hope you like this fun and lovely birthday card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Party Pets Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this extra colorful birthday card showcasing the adorable kitties from Party Pets. I wanted to feature all the cats from the set so I went for a slimline card, but there are also three super cute dogs in that set and I really look forward to having them on a future project!

I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in colors that match with the striped background. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Party Pets - cats, balloons, presents, party hats, party blower, small sentiment • Bighearted Bears - banners.

Next I created the background, and I wanted it to be very colorful and festive, so I picked this fun orange + yellow + green + light blue + blue color palette, and cut multiple strips out of colored cardstock using a Ribbon & Lace Border die. Next I cut an 8-1/8 x 3-1/4 inches white panel, covered it with double sided tape, and attached the colored strips. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to my panel, and then did the same with black ink. And once my panel was dry, I attached it to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches white card base at an angle to add some extra fun to my card.

To ground each little kitty, I cut five polka dot circles of different sizes out of Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones + Polka Dot Parade pattern papers using the Staggered Circles die, stuck them all on my striped background using 1mm foam squares, and then attached the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I white heat embossed "Happy Birthday" from Party Pets on black cardstock, cut it using the matching die and attached it to the panel using 2mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed "The party stars meow" from Birthday Cat at the bottom of my panel, and finished my card with highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen.

And that's it! I really love how cute and fun this card turned out, and I bet it would look great with a different color palette, maybe a purple + aqua + pink combo for a magical themed card, or a red + pink + white combo for Valentine! So many possibilities here! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Silly Sloths Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, happy new year! I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with my first Sunny Studio card of 2025, and this card features the amazing Windows Trio Heart Portrait die that I mixed with jungle themed images to create a lovely tropical card.

As very often I started off with the coloring and stamped all my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Silly Sloths - sloths, flowers, leaves • Love Monkey - vine • Tropical Birds - large leaves.

To create the background, I first cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches green tropical panel out of a Summer Splash paper, and I attached this panel to a white card base. I cut another 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel out of yellow cardstock, I trimmed this panel into a 2,25 inches wide scalloped panel using a Ribbon & Lace Border die, and attached it to the green tropical card base using 1mm foam squares.

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light brown woodgrain panel, cut three Window Trio Hearts out of it on the left side, and trimmed the panel into a 2-1/8 inches wide panel using another Ribbon & Lace Border die. I cut another 2-1/8 inches wide panel out of a Polka Dot Parade paper, attached the woodgrain heart panel to the polka dot panel using 1mm foam squares, and then to the left side of the card base using liquid glue.

To finish my background, I cut three different hearts using a Gift Card Envelope die, I white heat embossed "Let's hang out" from Silly Sloths on one of them, and then I attached a heart inside each Window Trio Heart using 1mm foam squares. I stuck all the images on my card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and finally added highlights and details using a white gel pen. 

And that's it! I hope you like this adorable tropical card. I had never showcased the Silly Sloths before, so I'm glad they're on my first 2025 card! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
