Rounded Rectangle Window Die Focused Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing this tropical birthday card with lots of bright summer colors.

I started by die-cutting two frames from green and pink cardstock using the Rounded Rectangle Window dies. For this, I used the two largest dies in the set to create a colorful layered frame.

Next, I used the second largest die to cut a card base from white cardstock. I then die-cut sections of this white panel using the Slimline Nature Borders Dies. After cutting the different sections, I blended them with ink to create a soft beach scene with sandy beach and fluffy clouds in the background.

From green cardstock, I die-cut the Botanical Backdrop die. I adhered the leafy pieces to the pink frame first and then attached the entire frame to the beach background panel. Finally, I added the green frame around the design and adhered everything to a white card base.

For the focal point, I stamped the adorable flamingo from the Fabulous Flamingos stamp set and the balloon from the Party Pets stamp set. I colored both images with my Ohuhu Pencils, adding bright pinks and blues to make them really stand out against the soft background.

I adhered the flamingo to the center of the card and finished the design by stamping the sentiment from the Fabulous Flamingos stamp set with blue ink.

Card done, ready to send joy! Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.

Balloon Numbers Card with Yan

Hey crafty friends! It's Yan here, and today I’m showcasing the versatile Balloon Numbers Stamps. Instead of using them as a focal point, I stamped them in soft pastel tones to create a subtle, playful patterned backdrop for this adorable foxy scene.

​To kick things off, I stamped the adorable fox, umbrella, and little birds from the Foxy Friends Stamps onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Coloring them with Copic markers is always my favorite relaxed step! Once I finished coloring, I lined up the matching Foxy Friends Dies to die-cut all the pieces flawlessly.

​COPIC COLORS:
Fox: E41, E43, R30, YR65
Umbrealla: B000, BG23, W1
Birds: R30, Y11, Y15

​For the backdrop, I wanted a subtle patterned look without being too overwhelming. So, I took a separate piece of white cardstock and stamped the Balloon Numbers softly in pastel shades across the panel, then die-cut it with the Rounded Rectangle Window Dies. Next, I die-cut a circle using the Radiating Circle Dies and gently ink-blended Distress Oxide Ink in Salvaged Patina in the center to create a soft, airy sky for my little scene.

​For the sentiment, I stamped "HAVE A FOXTASTIC DAY!" in crisp black ink onto a banner die-cut using the Brilliant Banner 3 Dies.

Finally, I mounted the background panel onto a golden-orange cardbase, then popped up the radiating circle, banner, and cute images using foam tape. That extra dimension really brings the little fox and his bird friends to life!

​I hope this project inspires you to look at your number stamps in a fun new way! Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy crafting!

Silly Sloths Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you today and I have a sweet birthday card to share with you showcasing the adorable Silly Sloths set. So let’s get started.

I stamped the images from the Silly Sloths Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Silly Sloths Dies to die cut them out. The Jungle Vines Dies were used to die cut a couple of tropical leaves out of the same Neenah white cardstock. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Sloths: E40/41/42/43/44, R20
Branches: E21/23/25/27
Leaves: YG01/03/25/17
Flowers: Y08/19, RV10/21/13/14

For the background, I used Spun Sugar and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend a background onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. The second largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Window Dies was used to die cut a window out the center of a piece of white cardstock to create the white frame.

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Have a slothsome birthday” sentiment from the Silly Sloths Stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used the banner die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies to die cut it out.

The colored images, sentiment and white frame were adhered to the card front with a combo of liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white A2 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. Be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Foxy Friends Card with Yan

Hi friends, it’s Yan here! Today I’m sharing a handmade card featuring the Foxy Friends Stamps. This project combines stamping, coloring, ink blending, and die-cut layering to create a fun woodland scene.

To begin, stamp the images from the Foxy Friends Stamps set onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the images with Copic markers, then die-cut them using the coordinating Foxy Friends Dies. 

COPIC COLOR:
Chicks: R30, Y02, Y11, Y15
Fox : E31, E35, E41, R30, YR65, YR68
Potted Tulips : B000, B12, RV10, RV11, RV34, Y02, Y15, YG03, YG63 

From there, I created the background by softly blending Distress Oxides in Worn Lipstick, Mowed Lawn, and Twisted Citron onto a separate piece of white cardstock, building a gentle, colorful base for the nature inspired card design.

To add the sentiment, I stamped the word “FOXY” in different colors onto white cardstock using the Balloon Alphabet Stamps, then used the coordinating Balloon Alphabet Dies to cut out each letter for a bold and playful look.

Finally, I die-cut a frame using the Rounded Rectangle Window Dies and assembled all the elements together with foam tape to build dimension, and completing the full scene as shown in the finished card.

I really enjoyed putting this card together, especially combining the soft ink blending with the playful alphabet sentiment. It’s always fun to see the scene come alive step by step. Thank you for stopping by today! I hope this tutorial gives you some inspiration for creating your own woodland themed cards. Happy crafting!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Monkey Business Cards with Rachel Alvarado

Hello crafty friends! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! It's Rachel here, and I have two cards to share with you that showcase the adorable new Monkey Business Stamps and Jungle Vines Dies. I had so much fun making these cards with these products!

For my first card, I created a shadow box card that folds flat for shipping. This card measures at 5.5" tall, 4.25" wide, and 1.5" deep. When folded flat, it can fit in a standard A8 envelope and measures 5.5" tall and 5.75" long. For the front window of this shadow box, I die cut a rounded stitched rectangle using the Rounded Rectangle Window Dies. 

For the inside of the card, I added a few hills of grass using the Slimline Nature Border Dies. I die cut the grass pieces from white card stock and blended them with Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink. I also die cut my vines and foliage pieces from white card stock and used Copic Markers to give them some color and shading. For my monkeys, I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored them with Copic Markers. I then die cut them using the coordinating Monkey Business Dies.

Lastly, I heat embossed my sentiment on black card stock using some Fine Detail White Embossing Powder and glued it to the front strip of grass.

Copic Colors Used:

• Monkeys: E000, E00, E11, E04 (light areas); E43, E44, E47 (dark areas)
• Foliage: YG01, YG06, YG17, YG67
• Tree Limbs: E31, E23, E25, E29
• Bananas: Y13, Y15, V12

I used the same Copic colors for my images on my second card as well as the Monkey Business Stamp Set and Dies. For my background, I used a beautiful piece of patterned paper from the Spring Fling Paper Pad. This pre-printed design makes it super easy to add some beautiful backgrounds without any fuss.

Once again, I heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder and cut it out using my paper trimmer before adhering it to my card.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today and will give these products a closer look! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Deck The Halls Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, so happy to be back with this bright and cheerful card featuring decorative baubles from Deck The Halls, like a close-up of a Christmas tree.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them with the coordinating dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers. For the branches, I stamped them using a green dye ink first, next I used green markers to add more depth and make those branches more full, and then used a brown marker to color the middle of each branch. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Deck The Halls - baubles • Classy Christmas & Bells & Baubles - branches • Scenic Route - strings of lights.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the baubles using a white gel pen, added a dot of glossy accents to each light and to Rudolph's nose, I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and added splatters to the branches and then did the same with liquid stardust.

Next I cut a large Rounded Rectangle Mat panel out of a Joyful Holiday red gingham pattern paper, cut an opening out of it using the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die to turn it into a frame, added white splatters to that frame, and set it aside to dry. I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a panel out of a Very Merry green pattern paper, added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters to it, and once dry, I attached my images to it using 1mm foam squares, except for the strings of lights that I stuck using liquid glue.

I attached my red rounded frame using 2mm foam squares, next the panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel and then to a matching card base. For my greeting, I white heat embossed "Merry Christmas" from Bells & Baubles on black cardstock, cut those words using the matching dies, and attached them at the bottom of my panel using 1mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed "May the season fill your home with joy" from Cozy Christmas on black cardstock, cut it into a fishtail banner and then stuck that banner at the top of my card using 1mm foam squares again.

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