Fast Food Fun Cards with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back with this set of four mini cards showcasing the extra cute Fast Food Fun stamp set. How cool it was to color all those food themed images!

And speaking of which, I started off by stamping my Fast Food Fun images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. As always I used the matching dies to cut them all, and used my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers to color everything. And once all the images were done, I added highlights and details using a white gel pen.

I created four 3,5 x 3,5 inches white card bases, and then cut all the pieces of paper to make four identical backgrounds using the third largest Stitched Square die. The grey & white paper is from the Subtle Grey Tones paper pack and the red gingham paper is from the Joyful Holiday paper pack. I first attached each grey & white panel to a card base using liquid glue, and trimmed each red gingham panel and stuck a piece to each card using liquid glue again. Next I cut four white scalloped frames using the second largest Fancy Frame Square die, and stuck a frame to each card using 1mm foam squares.

I cut four scalloped circle panels out of vellum using the second largest Scalloped Circle Mat 1 die, stamped a greeting from Fast Food Fun on each panel using black stazon ink (this ink dries fast and doesn't smear on vellum) and attached my images below each sentiment using 2mm foam squares.

Next I stuck each scalloped vellum circle to a card base using 2mm foam square again, glued some red hearts from the Red & Pink Heart Confetti mix, and added more white details using my white gel pen. 

And that's it! I usually use a million images from many sets to create my projects, but I had a blast making those four mini cards quick and easy using only one stamp set, and I hope that you like them. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Foxy Friends Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am sharing a Valentine’s card with a couple of adorable cuties from Foxy Friends stamp and die set. There are a bunch of sweet images in this set which made it hard to select just two! I will definitely make more projects with the other critters!

After creating a white card base, I cut a scalloped border from a white panel with the outer die from Fancy Frames Rectangle dies.

You can never have enough hearts on a ‘love themed’ card and that is where the Bursting Hearts die comes in handy! I used this die in a previous project where I wanted to add white hearts to my design, so I still had the background panel set aside. I always love when you get different uses from one product! To make all the heart shapes really pop I glued a red striped panel (Striped Silly pad) to the back of the white background.

Next, I glued this piece to the card base and added the white border. For my focal point, I die cut a white circle which was just a bit larger than the second of the Scalloped Circle Mats 3. Additionally, I created a vellum circle with the later die.

Using some ‘glue sheets for vellum’, I was able to add the vellum to the white circle without visible traces of glue. Next, I mounted the circles to the heart panel with foam tape.

I selected a cute pair of foxes, an umbrella (Foxy Friends stamp and die set), a letter   (Bighearted Bears) and a tiny bow (Heart Bouquet Stamps). For my color scheme, I went with brown, teal and red Copic markers. Of course, I had to add white details with a gel pen! My sentiment was pulled from the Foxy Friends stamp and I used a red ink from my stash.

To complete the design, I placed the images and sentiment banner in position. As a final embellishment, two red jewels (Bright Jewel mix) were glued on each side of the sentiment.

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Snowmen in Sweaters Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so excited to be back on the blog with this extra colorful winter card showcasing the cutest Snowmen In Sweaters ever! Aren't they adorable?! I love them so much!

I started off by cutting an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I colored using oxide inks. For the sky at the very top, I blended some saltwater taffy with candied apple, and for the rest of the panel, I blended some salvaged patina with peacock feathers.

As always, I stamped my images on 80lb 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. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Snowmen In Sweaters - snowmen, trees • Scenic Route - houses • Winter Scenes - trees.

I wanted my greeting to be the center piece, and to match the frosty winter theme, I started off by cutting a large Scalloped Circle Mat 1 out of holographic cardstock. I cut a smaller circle out of orange cardstock, and cut a Stitched Circle Large out of a Surprise Party yellow pattern paper. I layered those three circles on top of each other, white heat embossed "Warm winter wishes" from Snowmen In Sweaters on red cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and stuck it to my circle panel using 1mm foam squares.

Next I attached everything on my slimline panel, starting with the houses, next the circle panel, and then the snowmen and trees using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and added some white blizzard nuvo drops to the roofs and to the Snowmen In Sweaters to give the illusion of sparkling snow. 

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

Guest Designer Spotlight: Crisp Apple & Wood Barrel Cards with Rachel Alvarado

Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I am so happy to be back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with some apple-themed projects that feature new products from their latest release. This release is absolutely gorgeous, so I hope you'll love it as much as I do!

All of my cards today feature the yummy new Crisp Apple Dies. For all of my cards, I die cut a variety of both large and small apples from a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb Card Stock. To add color, I then blended each apple with a combination of Candied Apple, Lumberjack Plaid, Ground Espresso, and Scorched Timber Distress Inks. I blended my darkest colors on the left side of my apples and worked my way to the right with my lighter colors, leaving a very light spot on the top left portion of the apple to give it more of a 3D appearance. I did the same for my leaves, but used Mowed Lawn Distress Ink instead.

For my apple core area, I die cut it from a piece of light beige card stock and lightly blended the bottom left area of this piece with some Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink.

I then added a rectangular layer of lattice and scalloped circles with a piece of white card stock that I had die cut using the Frilly Frames Lattice Die Set. Next, I added a red circle to which I adhered a white scalloped circle that I had die cut using the beautiful Scalloped Circle Mat 3 Dies. Lastly, I added my apples with some 3D foam adhesive tape as well as my sentiment (from the new Punny Apple Greetings Stamp Set) that I had heat embossed to a strip of black card stock with some Fine Detail White Embossing Powder.

For my second project, I combined the Crisp Apple Dies with the new Wooden Barrel Die Set. After ink-blending my apples, I went ahead and die cut my wooden barrel from a piece of Kraft card stock. I then added some shading my barrel by blending the vertical slats in the barrel with some Ground Espresso and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink to give it more depth. Next, I die cut my "metal" barrel pieces from some silver shine card stock to make it look more realistic.

To give my background some texture, I die cut my red background piece with the new Buffalo Plaid Straight Die and then layered it with a piece of white card stock to which I had added some more texture using the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. I also added a red scalloped circle once again using the Scalloped Circle Mat 3 Dies and layered it with a white stitched circle that I had die cut with the Stitched Circle Small Dies. To finish my card, I again heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto a banner that I had die cut from red card stock using the Brilliant Banner 1 Die.

For my last card, I combined the Crisp Apple Die Set with the previously released Slimline Scalloped Frame and Slimline Nature Border die sets. I also added some cute little mice that I had stamped using both the Harvest Mice and Merry Mice clear stamp sets. I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock, colored them with Copic Markers, and used their coordinating die sets to cut them out.

For my background sky, I lightly blended some Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink and added some spatters of diluted Copic Opaque White Paint and some light brown dots from Copic Markers for added interest. I also added some white ink spatters to my grass area after I had ink-blended it with some Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. I stamped my sentiment from the Punny Apple Greetings Stamp Set onto the top right corner with black ink and once again added my images with 3D foam adhesive tape for a pop of dimension.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today and will check out these amazing new products! Thanks so much for dropping by! If you want more card making inspiration, feel free to also check out my Instagram Feed! Wishing you all a lovely day!
