Background Basics 2 Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this trio of Valentine cards showcasing a mix and match of items from different releases: the Background Basics 2 stamp set from the brand new Spring 2025 release, and three previously released big critters that I like to use all year long for any kind of theme.

I started off by cutting three Strathmore bristol smooth panels using the largest Scalloped Square 1 Small die, I masked the edges off on each panel using washi tape, and created three identical backgrounds in three different color palettes. For the pink panel, I covered the panel with spun sugar oxide ink first, and then stamped the Background Basics 2 chicken wire pattern using kitsch flamingo oxide ink. For the purple panel, I covered the panel with shaded lilac oxide ink first, and stamped the pattern using wilted violet oxide ink. 

And for the aqua panel, I covered the panel with salvaged patina oxide ink first, and stamped the pattern using peacock feathers oxide ink. Next I mixed white ink with water, and splattered that mix on the three panels, and then sprayed matching distress spritz on each panel to add shine and sparkles. Removed all the washi tape and set my panels aside to dry.

I stamped all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in shades of gray for the characters, and in one of my all time favorite color palettes for the other images: aqua, pink and purple. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Big Bunny - bunny, tulips, envelopes, bows • Big Panda - panda • Holiday Hugs - bear, heart pillow, gift • Special Day - hearts • Balloon Rides - banners.

I cut three 4,75 x 4,75 inches panels out of Polka Dot Parade papers, attached them to a card base, and then stuck each scalloped panel to its matching card base using 1mm foam tape. I attached the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, applied a bit of white blizzard nuvo drops on each heart for more sparkles, and then cut three Brilliant Banners 1 for my white heat embossed "Happy Valentine's Day" greetings from Bighearted Bears.

And that's it! I hope you like this lovely trio of Valentine cards. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Merry Mocha Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am creating a cute square card featuring the adorable Merry Mocha stamp and die set.

I started with a white square card base and added a layer of striped paper (Holiday Cheer) which was cut with the largest die from the Scalloped Square 1 small dies. Before adhering this panel to the base I created four square boxes with the Window Quad Square set. I love how these dies create the perfect design for smaller stamps.

I used the same die to create more square pieces from white card stock and a pink gingham paper (Gingham Pastels). Next, I glued these squares inside their frames, layering the white pieces on top, after I cut them to be a third of the size.

The mug from Merry Mocha stamp is a perfect match for the cuties from Christmas Cookies! All these images fit perfectly inside the frames as well, I love to combine several sets and see how well they work together!

After stamping and die cutting the mug and cookies, I used my Copics to color all the images in vibrant holiday tones. I added some details with a brown marker and a white gel pen. I used foam tape to adhere my images to the frames.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from Merry Mocha in a pink ink from my stash and used the matching die to cut it out. I mounted this phrase to the last remaining box with foam tape. I love finishing a card with some embellishments and today I chose the beautiful Pure White Jewels.

Thank you for joining me and I am looking forward to seeing your gorgeous creations with this sweet set! Happy crafting!

Merry Mocha Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today sharing a fun slimline Christmas card featuring the adorable Merry Mocha set. 

I stamped the mug from the Merry Mocha Stamps set four times onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Merry Mocha Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Whipped Cream: E40/81
Candy Cane: R24/29, C1/3
Holly: R24/29, YG03/17
Red Mug: R24/27/29
Green Mug: YG03/25/17
Pink Mug: RV00/02/55
Teal Mug: BG11/13/15

I used the smallest die from the Scalloped Square 1 Large Dies to die cut 5 squares out of white cardstock. I adhered each of the mugs onto the squares. I stamped the cute sentiment from the set directly onto the fifth square with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

I adhered the squares to a piece of pink cardstock (4" x 8.5") with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a white card base. I finished the card with some snowflakes die cut from white cardstock using the Basic Mini Shape Dies 2. I also added some coordinating jewels from the Bright Jewel Mix to the center of each of the snowflakes.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. Be sure to check out the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Let's Chill Card with Nicky: Black Friday Exclusive!

Well hello there everyone, this is Nicky back with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I'm sharing a new card featuring the delightful Let's Chill stamp set. This stamp set is a free with purchase 'treat' during the Black Friday sale and I refer you to the Sunny website for full details. Please read on for all the details of how I made this card.

I started by creating all of the panels that you see. I created the largest one with the patterned Spring Sunburst 6 x 6 Cardstock using the Stitched Square Dies and then a smaller die from the same set for the smaller square and then I die cut two little scalloped squares using the Scalloped Square 1 Large Dies.

I took the 3 white die cuts, masked off the edges and ink blended using Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink. I spattered the ink blending with some white acrylic paint loosened with a drop or two of water and then I carefully removed the masks. Each panel was backed with foam tape and applied to the patterned panel which was then glued to a slightly larger white card base. Lots of dimension here and I'm not done yet!

I stamped the beautiful sea lions from Let's Chill with black ink and coloured them using Copic markers in W4, W3, W1, W0, W00 and blushed their cheeks using R22, R21, R20 and R00.

I added foam tape to the back of each sea lion and adhered them into position, I stamped the sentiment on a little strip and added that with foam tape and I used 5 Iridescent Star Jewels to embellish this chilled scene.

Many thanks for reading the blog today and I'll be back next Friday with something new to share with you all.

Toasty Hugs Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here. Today's card features adorable images from the Toasty Hugs Stamp Set. I've made a 4.75 inch square card to house a little snow globe with these winter cuties all bundled up and ready to play in the snow. 

Here are the Sunny Studio supplies needed to recreate this card design:

• Toasty Hugs stamps - for boy & girl images plus the sentiment
• Snowmen in Sweaters stamps - for tree images
• Stitched Semi-circle dies - for globe dome
• Woolen Mitten dies - mitten cuff die for globe base
• Snowflake Circle Frame dies - for snowflakes 
• Scalloped Squares 2 small dies - largest in the set for white scalloped mat
• Stitched Square dies - for square mat

I used the middle size Stitched Semi-circle dies for the globe part of my snow globe. I die cut it from white card stock then blended on the aqua blue ink. I splattered with thinned white paint to give it the snowy look. I then hand cut a little snow drift to layer onto the bottom of the semi-circle. I used the mitten cuff die to create the base with silver glitter card stock. I adhered the Copic colored images and stamped the sentiment. To complete the snow globe, I tied some twine around the base and added a few snowflakes for embellishment. 

Here are the Copic colors I used on the stamped images: pink - R30, R22; light green - G40, G43; dark green on trees - G43, G46; shading on white areas - C1, C3; brown - E41, E42, E44; flesh tone - E000, E00, E21

If square card formats aren't your thing, this snow globe certainly can be used on an A2 size card instead. You'll have more space at the top of the card so just fill in with more snowflakes.
