Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Kristie Marcotte

Hey everyone, Kristie Marcotte here. I'm so excited to be sharing several cards with you today that focus on the Surprise Party paper pack. Let's get right to it!

I made a fun patriotic birthday card featuring red and blue tone on tone patterned papers. I added a couple balloons above the sentiment and included the Ric Rac Border across the card. I used the Bright Balloons, Ric Rac Border,and Big Bold Greetings.

This card features the Subtle Grey Tones paper for the background. I used some of the tone-on-tone patterns from the Surprise Party paper pad for all the presents and filled the background with lots of gifts. I used Perfect Gift Boxes, Crepe Paper Streamers and Big Bold Greetings.

The background features the colorful party hat paper. I added a couple tone on tone strips. I included 3 balloons on an oval die cut. I used Bright Balloons and Big Bold Greetings.

I used some white shimmer cardstock for the background and added several narrow strips of patterned paper in pink and teal. I added a couple of present images on a vellum circle, plus a few balloons above the sentiment. I used Bright Balloons, Perfect Gift Boxes, and Big Bold Greetings.

 It's still July, so I couldn't resist making a fun Christmas card. I used the green star tone on tone paper for the background and cut out some wonky windows. I added a tiny poinsettia inside each window. I used Wonky Windows, Window Quad Circle, and Inside Greetings Holiday.

Thank you Mendi for the opportunity to guest design! You can find me on my blog, my Instagram, or my YouTube channel.

Introducing New Snail Mail Mini Stamps

Hello there!  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday week! We are switching gears and transitioning from Christmas to Spring this week featuring a new mini love inspired set called Snail Mail.

Card No.1: For my first card I started by creating a chevron striped background alternating red, pink and aqua stripes cut using our Ric Rac Border dies, using a clear ruler to keep them straight and centered on my card. I then cut two stitched circle mats (using dies that will be shared more next week) together with the grassy border from our Slimline Nature Border Dies. I colored the mailbox, snails and love letters with Copics from the new Snail Mail stamps. For my "love you" sentiment, I used a stamp from our Savanna Safari Stamps and mounted them onto a thought bubble from our Comic Strip Speech Bubbles dies.

Card No.2:  For my next card I just focused on the mailbox from the Snail Mail stamps, pairing it with the polar bear & "I love you" greeting from our Playful Polar Bear Stamps and the snow drift from the Slimline Nature Border dies. I inked behind them with some Picked Raspberry Distress ink and then framed my little scene using our Fancy Frame Square Dies which I die-cut from red cardstock. 

For my background I stamped our Cascading Heart Stamps first in pink and then offset my paper and stamped them with a second series in red. As a final touch I added the stitching to the edge of my card panel using our Slimline Basic Border dies and a small scalloped edge cut from our Classic Gingham Paper.

Here's a closer look at the new Snail Mail stamps and Snail Mail dies. While these are available in our store now, the rest of our Spring Release will be shared with our Sneak Peek Week next week and available to purchase on January 8th.

I hope you will check back each day this week to see more fun ideas using this cute set by the rest of the team. :)

Breakfast Puns and Love Monkey Punny Cards with Leanne and Eloise

Hello everyone! Leanne here and I want to wish you all a very happy new year! This is my final post of 2019 but I will be back in 2020 with more crafty inspiration showcasing lots of fun new Sunny Studio products.  

Today's project features a fun waffle image and coordinating sentiment from the Breakfast Puns set. I used colors reminiscent of a traditional Valentine's card. However, this design could be used any time year by changing up the colors.  

I started by stamping out five waffles and several strawberries from Breakfast Puns. I used Nuvo Acorn Brown ink to stamp the images and then colored with Copic markers. For the waffles I used this Copic combo: E53, E55, & E57. I then trimmed a white card stock strip to about 2 inches wide. I sponged some light pink ink along the bottom edge of the strip and then splattered thinned red paint. I adhered the waffles and strawberries across the length of this strip. I stamped the coordinating punny sentiment also from the Breakfast Puns set.  

I layered the waffle strip over some red Classic Gingham patterned paper. I die cut two Ric Rac border strips to layer behind the gingham. I then adhered all the layers onto a kraft A2 card base. To finish off the card I tied some baker's twine around the top.

Hi friends, Eloise here and today I’m using the Love Monkey Stamp Set along with the Fluffy Clouds Dies to create a Valentine’s Day card.

I started off with stamping out all my images and colouring them in with Copic Markers. Once they were coloured, I cut them out.

(Copic Markers Used: E51, E53, E55, E57 / E40, E41, E42, E43 / E42, E43, E44, E47 / Y11, Y13, Y15, Y19 / RV10, RV13, RV25, RV19 / YG01, YG03, YG23, YG17 / BG10, BG11, BG23, BG49 / R000, R30 / W00, 0)

I then took a piece of white cardstock and ink blended some Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Ditress Ink into the centre. I used the Fluffy Clouds Dies and cut some from the centre. I then stamped the sentiment ‘Swinging By To Say I Love You’ onto the bottom with black ink and adhered my images over the top. I lastly adhered the panel onto a grey card base.

I hope you all enjoyed my project today and thanks for stopping by!

Sunflower Fields Cards with Franci and Ana

Hi there! Franci here with you today with a lovely Happy Birthday card featuring the new Sunflower Fields set. This sunflower is amazing, it's so detailed!

I stamped it, the leaves and all the little bees with a combo of Lawn Fawn and Memento Drops inks and I also skipped a layer here and there to emphasize the beautiful layering effect. I die cut everything with their coordinated dies and let them aside to dry completely.

I created my card base out of white cardstock and I inked the front with some Distress inks, then I also added some sparkle watercolors spatters and let it dry. Finally I glued all my images down with a combo of liquid glue and foam adhesive and I stamped my sentiment from the Birthday Balloon stamp set. 

I'm so happy about how this simple and elegant design turned out, hope you like it too! Have a lovely day!

Hello Sunny friends! It’s Ana here today sharing two cards featuring gorgeous new Sunflower Fields Stamps and dies! Sunny Studio layering stamps are my absolute favorite and when I saw these gorgeous sunflowers, I did a happy dance! What an amazing addition to their beautiful layering stamps collection!

For my first card I have combined several products from the newest release. I have stamped the sunflowers, leaves and bees and cut them with coordinating dies. For the background, I used Lots Of Dots Embossing Folder to emboss a white panel. I choose blue patterned paper from the new Colorful Autumn 6x6 Paper Pack and die cut it with Frilly Frames Chevron Dies.

I adhered blue chevron frame with foam tape, added sunflowers and bees, then adhered a strip of orange and yellow ribbon as well as the bow to the bottom of the panel. I stamped the sentiment (from the Sunflower Fields set) and die cut it with a banner die from Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies.



For my second card I created a subtle background pattern by embossing a white panel with Frilly Frames Retro Petals Die. Next, I choose several papers from Colorful Autumn Paper Pack, cut them with Ric Rac Border Dies and adhered them to the bottom of the white panel. On a piece of green patterned paper I white heat embossed the sentiment then cut it with Ric Rac Border Dies and added grassy edge with a grass die from Sunny Sentiments Dies.



I adhered the sunflowers, leaves and bees and finished the card with a white thin border made with Ric Rac Border Dies.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I really hope you liked the cards I have shared today. I will see you next time and until then I wish you happy crafting!
