Swimming Pool Die Focused Cards by Marieke and Marine

Hello Sunny Studio friends, Marieke here. Today I hope to inspire you with a slimline shaker card using the Swimming Pool Die. 

So first I started with the wooden deck. Using wood grain specialty paper I cut the slimline rectangle. Then cut strips of 1/4 inch and cut some in three pieces and the other ones in two pieces. Ink Blended each of them using Walnut Stain Distress inkt and glued them on another kraft rectangle.

Die cut the Swimming Pool die out of the middle and adhered some acetate behind it. Cut a slightly smaller blue rectangle, traced it on the back of the kraft rectangle and added some foam tape on the back of the kraft rectangle and "closed" the swimming pool so it would turn into a shaker compartment. Filled the compartment with sequins and closed it using the blue rectangle.

Used Copic Colors:
Swimming Pool - C1, C00, 0
Purple - BV17, BV04, BV13, BV02

Die cut the Swimming Pool die 4 times out of white cardstock and on one of them I added some grey details using my Copic markers. Adhered them together, die cut the stairs out of silver cardstock and glued it on to the swimming pool. 

Stamped the images of Kiddie Pool, Sending Sunshine, Tropical Scenes stamps. Colored them up using my Copic markers and cut them using the matching dies or cut them by hand. Adhered all the images onto the cardbase using foam tape.

Heat set the sentiment out of Sending Sunshine on some yellow cardstock and cut it into a smaller strip. Die cut the larger word four times out of link cardstock using the Sunshine Word die, glued them together and added some white gel pen details. Stamped the sentiment from the Kiddie Pool on some white cardstock and cut it using a speech bubble die.

Adhered the shaker onto a 1/2 inch larger white rectangle. Cut a top fold white base card 1/3 larger than the white rectangle and added the paper out of the Sleek Stripes Paper Pad. Adhered everything onto the base card using double sided tape and my card was all done.

Hey crafty friends! Marine here with you today, back with three little frogs having fun around the pond! I used the Swimming Pool die to create the pond, as well as some images from different sets to make this cute scene:

• Country Scenes: cattails + lily pad
• Feeling Froggy: frog + dragonfly
• Best Fishes: leaves
• Sealiously Sweet: sentiment

I stamped all those cute images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, coloring them using my alcohol markers, and cut everything using the coordinating dies.

For the background, I first cut a 5,5" x 4,25" bristol panel, and I used grass stencils along with mowed lawn + rustic wilderness distress oxide inks to create a large grass section on half of the panel. And on the rest of the panel, I created the sky using a cloud stencil along with tumbled glass + salty ocean distress oxide inks.

Next I cut the Swimming Pool element, and I wanted the pond to look natural, so I colored it using grey markers to give it some stone effect. And to make the water inside the pond, I placed the die on a piece of bristol cardstock, traced the shape on the paper, fussy cut it, and then I colored that element using shabby shutters + broken china distress oxide inks.

I attached my pond border on the water element using foam squares, and then I stuck the whole piece on the panel using liquid glue. I cut around the frog images to get rid of the lily pads, and next I attached all my cute images on the panel around the pond using foam squares and glue dots.

For the sentiment, I stamped the words "You're" & "Awesome" on the top part of the panel, and between those words, I glued some letters that I cut using the Chloe Alphabet die set to finally read "You're froggin' awesome".

I finished my card by attaching the panel on a kraft card base and adding white details and highlights on the images, and that's it! We have a cute and fun little scene, and I hope that you like it! As always, feel welcome to check the process video for more details (click the image above). Thanks for stopping by and see you next week!

Designer's Choice Cards with Marine and Marieke

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, so happy to be back on the blog with this cute and colorful summer card. To create this lovely scene, I picked my images from different sets: 

• Kiddie Pool: girl + sun lounger
• Tiki Time: bar + birds + cocktail
• Beach Buddies: sunglasses + sunscreen
• Beach Babies: balloon
• Seasonal Trees & Sending Sunshine: palm trees
• Fabulous Flamingos: leaves + flower + pineapple + watermelon + sentiment

I stamped all those images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and colored everything using my alcohol markers.

Next I moved on to the background. I cut a 5,5" x 4,25" bristol panel, and used a hill stencil along with distress oxide inks to create a beach scene at sunset. At the bottom: antique linen + vintage photo to make a sand border. At the top: squeezed lemonade + dried marigold + kitsch flamingo + picked raspberry to make a sunset sky.

Once the panel was dry, I attached all my cute images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Next I stamped my sentiment "Happy Summer" on the bottom part, and finished my card by adding highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen.

And that's it! I hope you like this sweet summer card. As always you can check the process video for more information (click on the image above), and I will be back next week with a new super cute scene! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wonky Windows Cards with Marieke and Marine

Hello Sunny Studio Friends. Marieke here, and for today's post I decided on making a mini slimline shaker Mother’s Day card. On May the 8th in the Netherlands we celebrated Mother’s Day and this card I gave to my mom.

On a 6 3/4 x 2 3/4 inch rectangle I ink blended Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers Distress ink. Splattered some water, Peacock Feathers and white paint onto it and cut the Wonky Window die out of it. 

Cut a white rectangle in the same size and temporarily added the outside frame onto it. Adhered the die cut parts onto the white rectangle and glued a piece of acetate behind the frame. Filled up the shaker using Crystal Clear Jewels.

Stamped the images out of the Fabulous Flamingo and Sending Sunshine stamps. Colored them up and cut them using my scissors. Die cut the word mom out of yellow cardstock and added some white gel pen details onto the letters and images.

Used Copic Colors:
Flamingo - RV13, RV42, R01, R00 / C5,C3,C1,0 / Y13, Y11
Green - YG67, YG63, YG03, YG01
Yellow - Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11Brown - E47, E44, E43, E42

Stamped the sentiment on some white cardstock, trimmed it down to a small banner. Heat set the sentiment on some black cardstock and cut it using my scissors. Adhered all the images onto the card using foam tape.

Hey crafty friends, Marine here, so happy to be back on the blog with this bright and cute underwater card showcasing the new Wonky Windows die. When I saw this new die from Summer release, I immediately thought of making a shaker card with it, so here we go!

I stamped the images first using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and then colored everything using my alcohol markers. We have underwater critters and seaweeds from Fintastic Friends and from Best Fishes, I also picked the small rocks from Savanna Safari, and the grass sprigs from Bunnyville to make more seaweeds.

Next I created my underwater panel. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25" bristol panel and used four oxide inks to make it, from bottom to top: salvaged patina, peacock feathers, ribbon prize and a teeny tiny bit of black soot.

Once my underwater panel was dry, I used the Wonky Windows die to cut six openings out of it. I taped the die on one half of the panel, and sent it to my die cutting machine. I kept the inside pieces in the same order and set them aside, and I did the same thing on the other half of the panel. I flipped the die so that the bottom windows wouldn't be the same as the ones at the top and taped the die to the paper, and I sent it to my die cutting machine to cut three more openings and this way get a 3 x 2 grid.

Next I temporarily taped my six window panel to a card base, and I attached the inside pieces on the matching window.

I removed the six window panel, and then created the shaker. I stuck a piece of clear acetate at the back of the panel, also added foam strips at the back to divide the six windows and make room for the shaker accessories, and before adding those shaker accessories, I just added powder inside the six windows, all along the edges, this way the jewels won't stick to the foam.

I cleaned the acetate using a microfiber cloth to remove the powder excess, I added a few clear jewels on each inside piece, and I finally attached my six window panel on top of the card base to totally close and complete my underwater shaker panel. And next I stuck all my cute images using glue dots mostly, and also foam squares at some places.

The last thing I did was create the sentiment. I didn't want it to cover too much of the images, so I went with vellum. I white heat embossed the banner from Little Birdie, and inside that banner I also white heat embossed "You're fintastic", I used the coordinating die to cut that banner that I finally attached in the middle of the card using three tiny dots of liquid glue.

And that's it! Super cute and super bright, love those new critters from Fintastic Friends, especially the manta, she's so gorgeous! As always I leave you with the video (click on the image above!), don't hesitate to watch it for more information about the card! Thanks for stopping by, and see you next week!
