Rounded Rectangle Window Die Focused Card & Tag with Amanda

Welcome back to the Sunny Studio Stamps Blog! Amanda here, and I’m glad you’re here with me today! I’m sharing this adorable duo I created using the Rounded Rectangle Window Dies! Keep reading to see how I created this card and coordinating tag!

First, we’ll start with the card! I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4”x5.25” and then taped the 4th largest rectangle in the center of the panel. I ran it through my die cutting machine.  

On a separate white cardstock panel, I stamped the background image from the Majestic Meadow Stamp. Then, I trimmed the stamped panel to fit in the opening of the window, including an extra 1/4” border. I was careful to leave the left side of the stamped image for my tag! Then, I stamped my sentiment.

I colored the background with Copic markers. Here are the colors I used:
Flowers: RV55, RV66, RV69
Grass: YG0000, YG00, YG01
Trees & Bushes: E43, E44, E47, E49, YG06, G07, G14

I glued this panel to an A2 card base in the center. On my window panel, I used double sided tape to attach a piece of acetate trimmed to 1/4” larger than the window. Then, I put foam tape strips all around the acetate to create a shaker pocket. I added extra foam tape strips on the border of the panel so it was the same depth all the way around.  

I placed a mixture of sequins in the center of my card base. Then, I carefully lined up my window panel and attached it to the card base, ensuring that the sequins stayed inside the shaker pocket.

Next, I stamped 2 foxes and and 2 birds from the Foxy Friends Stamps. I colored these with Copic markers, too.

I used these markers:
Birds: RV10,  RV52, RV55, Rv66, RV69, YR21, YR24
Foxes: YR20, YR21, YR24, YR27, E50, E53, R00, R20, R32, W8

Then, I cut the images out using the coordinating dies. I put 3D foam squares behind each of the images. I adhered the 2 birds and 1 fox to the card. I glued a few sequins from the my sequin mix to the front of the card as well.

For the tag, I cut the 4th largest Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies. I stamped the Background Basics 2 stamp with Catherine Pooler’s Pucker Up Ink onto this rectangle. I also die cut the 5th largest Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies. Then, I taped the 3rd smallest Rounded Rectangle Window Dies to the center of rectangle and put it through the die cutting machine to create a frame for my shaker.

On the leftover piece from the Majestic Meadow Stamp, I taped the same 3rd smallest Rounded Rectangle Window Die and ran it through my die cutting machine to get my background piece. I colored this background with the same Copic markers.

I punched a hole and added an eyelet with my Crop-a-dile Big Bite to my largest rectangle. To create the shaker, I folowed the same steps as I did for the card. I added some baker’s twine to finish the tag off!

The Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies and Rounded Rectangle Window Dies work so well together! I can’t wait to gift this card and tag to a FOXTASTIC friend! Thanks so much for coming by the blog today! Come back tomorrow for more inspo!

Tulip Path Background Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here to share a bright and cheerful spring card. I used the bunnies, butterflies, and cloud images from the Tulip Path Background stamp set plus a mix of other Sunny Studio supplies to create my own tulip garden scene.

Here is what you'll need besides the Tulip Path Background stamp set to recreate this A2 sized card:

- Classic Gingham Paper (for the orange gingham mat)

- Rounded Rectangle Mat dies (to give the scene mat it's faux stitching and rounded corners)

- Picket Fence Border dies (for the fence and grass border)

- Big Bunny stamp set (for the greeting)

Copics used to color the images are listed below: 
bunnies (E41, E42, E43, R00, R20)  pink tulips (RV13, RV14, RV17)  orange tulips (YR12, YR14, YR18)  tulip leaves (YG11, YG13, YG17)  butterflies (Y11, Y15)  shading on clouds (B000, B00)

This scene came together easily with this fun combo of supplies. I love how the fence adds the perfect backdrop for the tulips and bunnies who are enjoying a warm spring day.

Rounded Rectangle Mat Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a fun birthday card with a bunch of cute kitties. The winter has been quite cold, so I thought these sweeties needed some warm sweaters too! I just added a few extra lines with a fine black marker to the stamped images to create that look.

After I made a white card base (which seems to be my favorite color lately!), I cut two layers with different sizes of the Rounded Rectangle Mat dies. The larger one from teal paper (Dots & Stripes Pastels) was mounted to card base with foam tape to create instant dimension. The smaller white mat will be the background for my scene. First, I added extra texture to this piece by running it through the die cutting machine using the beautiful Buffalo Plaid Diagonal die.

After masking of the bottom, I used some Antique Linnen Distress Oxide for the floor portion of the scene. Then, I splattered some Salvaged Patina ink on the top part for added interest.

After gluing this piece to the teal mat, I started stamping and cutting all the elements I needed for this card. I selected three cute kitties (Cat Antics and Party Pets), a mailbox (Bighearted Bears) and a letter (Snail Mail).

For the coloring, I went with Copic markers in red and teal tones. As mentioned before, I added a few lines to create the ‘sweaters’ for the cats and added white gel pen details to customize them.   

I love the large sentiments from Big Bold Greetings and their matching dies so I stamped the ‘Happy Birthday’ in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Next, I could create my little scene and add the beautiful sentiment (which consists of several die cut layers glued together to give it that sturdy look). As a final embellishment, I sprinkled a few teal jewels onto the card (Pastel Jewels Mix).

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Party Pets Card with Leanne

Hello Everyone! Leanne here and I have another birthday card to share this week. It's a simple one featuring cute images from the Party Pets stamp set.

All images plus the greeting and the background confetti are included in the Party Pets stamp set. I used Copic makers to color the balloons, dog, and present (colors used are listed at the end of this post). I stamped the confetti onto a Rounded Rectangle Mat, then adhered my colored images and greeting with foam squares. 

Copics used: pink- R00, R20, R21; blue- B21, B23, B26; brown- E41, E42, E71, E74; for shading on white areas- W1, YR30

I layered my completed Rounded Rectangle panel overtop an A2 kraft card stock panel. l used white pigment ink and the diagonal grid from the Background Basics 2 stamp set to add the grid pattern to this panel. And that's it! This card is ready to be sent to spread some birthday cheer.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Birthday Cards with Rachel Alvarado

Hello everyone! It's Rachel here with two one-layered birthday cards featuring some fun products from the latest release as well as some previously released ones that you may already own in your crafty stash.

My first card is a slimline card that features the Party Pets, Foxy Friends, Cat Antics, and Panda Party stamp sets. I also used the gorgeous Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies for my card base.

One-layered cards are some of my favorites. I always make sure to stamp a template card first on a piece of scrap paper without any masking so I can make sure that my images go exactly where I want them. I then use this rough draft as my layout along with my stamping tool when I create my actual card. I stamp the most front images first (i.e. party hats) and then mask each piece with masking paper and repeat the process as I go until I finish with the back layer (or images that will be behind others). 

Once my entire images were stamped and masked, I then added some ink blending for my background. You can color your backgrounds with markers, but I find that usually takes a longer time (for me) than ink blending. For my card above, I used a mix of Salvaged Patina, Kitsch Flamingo, and Wild Honey Distress Oxide Inks. Once finished, I added some white ink spatters for added interest, removed my masking pieces, and then colored my images with Copic Markers. I finished my card by stamping my sentiments and adding balloon lines with a fine-line black marker and ruler.

My second card was made using a similar process as I did with the first one. For this card, I only used the Party Pets Stamp Set for my images. For my background, I blended a mix of Picked Raspberry and Wild Honey Distress Oxide Ink. I once again used Copic Markers to color my images. I then die cut my card front and base layer with the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment from the Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Stamp Set.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today! Thanks so much for stopping by!
