Cat Antics Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be celebrating Sunny Studio's 10th birthday with those fun kitties and cheerful colors. This is a fantastic milestone, and I'm very proud to be part of it. Congratulations, Mendi! And happy birthday to Sunny Studio!!

I started by creating the background and cut a 4-3/8 inches square panel out of a Spring Sunburst green paper. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters all over my panel. I did the same with mowed lawn distress ink, and then with peacock feathers distress spritz. Once it was dry, I attached my green panel to a Stitched Square white panel using liquid glue, and then the white panel to a Scalloped Square 1 Large turquoise panel using 1mm foam tape.

I stamped all my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers, using one of my all-time favorite color palette: aqua, green and yellow. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Cat Antics - 3 cats • Party Pets - 3 cats, presents, party hats, hearts, balloons, "make a wish" • Purrfect Birthday - cake.

Once the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen. Next I stamped the Balloon Number "10" on the same white cardstock using aqua dye ink from my stash, and cut each digit using the matching dies. I also stamped two strings in black using two stamps from the Balloon Alphabet and fussy cut them. For my greeting, I white heat embossed "Happy birthday" from Big Bold Greetings on aqua cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and then attached everything on my Spring Sunburst card base using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

And that's it, so let's join this pawsome party, have fun and eat a piece of cake, if the kitties have left some! Thanks so much for stopping by, see you next week, and once again: happy birthday to Sunny Studio!!

Big Panda Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun summery card to share with you featuring the Big Panda and Two Scoops sets.

I stamped the images from the Big Panda stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Big Panda Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Bears: C3/5/7, E40/41/81, R20
Hat: B000/00 BG45, RV00/02/13, YG01/03, C1
Sunglasses: B00 BG45, T7

To create the ice cream, I used the fun Two Scoops stamp set. This cool set offers several different ice cream, cone and topping options. The stamps allow you to layer the ink colors to create a more realistic and dimensional look. I used Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Scattered Straw, Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso Distress Oxide inks to create my flavors. Once the inks are dried, the Two Scoops Dies can be used to die cut them out. I love that these cones tucked perfectly into the arm cutouts of the Big Panda. 

For the background, I die cut another piece of Neenah white cardstock with the largest die from the Stitched Square Dies. I lightly inked the center with some Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks to add a bit of color to the background. Next, I diecut of piece of teal cardstock with the largest die from the Scalloped Square 1 Large Dies set. I adhered the panels to each other and then onto the front of a white square cardbase (5.25" x 5.25"). 

For the sentiment, I partially stamped the "let's" part of the sentiment from the Let's Chill Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock. (Note: The Let's Chill set won't officially go on sale until Sunny Studio's 10th Birthday in late August) I trimmed it out with a paper trimmer. Next, I used the Chloe Alphabet Dies to die cut the necessary letters twice out of black cardstock. I layered and adhered the letters to each other and then onto the card front with liquid adhesive. A white gel pen was used to add some highlights to the letters. Finally, I adhered the bears to the card front with some foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. 

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card and it inspires you to make and send out some happy snail mail. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Watering Can Rainbow Butterfly Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi. I am sharing some fun rainbow butterfly cards using the butterflies from our Watering Can Stamps and Dies. This fantastic set comes with a layering watering can that perfectly complements so many of our floral layering stamps like I shared yesterday, but today, I want to focus on the two little bonus butterflies for this set of cards.

Up first is a classic grid-style card. I started by die-cutting the largest scalloped square from black cardstock using our Scalloped Square 2 Small Dies. I then cut and scored a 4.25 x 4.25 square card base, which I adhered to and centered on the back. For the front, I die-cut a 4" square from white cardstock to layer over the top using our Stitched Square Dies to frame my butterflies. 

I stamped 9 individual butterflies in a rainbow of colors. To add a little interest, I inked up the solid layer of each butterfly by inking the stamp with a finger dauber (rather than the ink pad directly) and my Misti tool. I did this several times for each butterfly, building the color darker near the wing tips and lighter near the center. I then arranged them onto my card and popped each one up with some thin Crafty Foam Tape by Scrapbook Adhesives. Given the butterfly's width is greater than its height, I had extra room in my square grid to fit a greeting between the second and third rows so I heat embossed the greeting "Fluttering by to Say Hi!" from our Spring Showers Stamps, which I stamped onto the largest pennant strip from our Notebook Photo Corners Dies. I love the clean graphic feel of this card and how it turned out!

This time, rather than stamping each butterfly in a single bright color to form my rainbow, I stamped each butterfly to have a blended rainbow on their wings. I achieved this cool look by once again applying the ink to my stamp using a foam finger dauber with the help of a Misti tool. I took turns layering each color and stamping them 2 to 4 times each until I had the coverage and brilliance I desired before switching to the next ink color. When I was done, then I could layer the black layer over the top. I am so smitten with how gorgeous they look for just a few extra steps with the finger dauber!

For my card frame, I used the stitched rectangle die from our Frilly Frames Retro Petals Dies and then embossed the center portion with our Frilly Frames Hexagon Dies by using an embossing mat instead of a cutting plate. I love how all the Frilly Frames dies can mix and match and be used for a variety of techniques! 

For my sentiment strip, I die-cut a rainbow ombre patterned paper from our Spring Fling Paper pack using the smallest stitched pennant from our Slimline Pennant Dies. It wasn't quite long enough so I lengthened it by hanging part of the die off of my cutting pad and running it through a second time. However, you could also just cut it in two parts and hide the seam behind one of the butterflies. For my greeting, I stamped "Let Your Dreams" using our Plane Awesome Stamps and spelled "soar" using our Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies. To jazz it up, I then applied some Glossy Accents over the top of each letter and set it aside to dry.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Passionate Penguins Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina with a card featuring one of the adorable images from the Passionate Penguins stamp and die set. I have used these stamps often and they are one of my favorites for lots of occasions!

After I made a white square card base, I cut a layer from purple paper (Flirty Flowers, Stitched Square dies) and glued it to the base.

For extra dimension I also created two white panels with one of the Scalloped Square 2 Small dies. On one of them I added extra texture with the Quilted Hearts Portrait die, I cut the scalloped edges from this piece and glued it on top of the second white panel. Now I have a scalloped edge panel with an embellished center. Love that look!

As my focal point I selected two cute penguins in their fancy car, adding balloons from Party Pets to set the scene. All the coloring was done with Copic makers, and I added white highlights with my gel pen.

This card is going to be for my husband and I really like this sentiment from the Words Of Gratitude set! I stamped the line on a small white banner with Versafine Onyx Black ink and backed it with a slightly larger banner shape.

I placed the sentiment on the bottom of the white panel and mounted the penguins and balloons with foam tape. I love how they are enjoying their ride in the car and the balloons make it extra fun! Lastly, I sprinkled a few Champagne Clear jewels onto the card.

Thanks a lot for visiting the blog and happy crafting!
