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

Hi everyone! Leanne here and I'm sharing a fun shaker card today. My card features some adorable images from the Black Friday gift with purchase exclusive stamp set, Let's Chill. I pulled out some older stamp and die sets along with the Let's Chill set to create this little winter scene and shaker window. All are listed below with a description of how they were used. 

Let's Chill Stamp Set & coordinating dies - For the seal and heart images plus "let's chill" sentiment

Lovey Dovey Stamp Set & coordinating dies - For the "you're my favorite" sentiment

Stitched Arch Die - I used the largest die in the set to create the shaker window. 

Joyful Holiday Paper Pack - The colorful polka dot pattern paper made a fun frame for my scene. 

I created the shaker part in the tradition way by adhering a piece of clear acetate behind the frame for the window and building a shaker well with thick foam tape strips. I filled the shaker with some iridescent heart confetti and snowflake sequins. 

Copics: R00, R30, RV11, RV13, T0, T2, C0, C1, C3, C5

I Copic colored the stamped images (colors used listed above). I created a little snow bank for the seals sit on with the same Stitched Arch Die used for the shaker window. I stamped "let's chill" onto the snow bank. I added the seals, hearts, and "you're my favorite" with thin foam squares so they would be popped up a bit. Lastly I adhered my completed shaker scene to an A2 size card base.

Designer's Choice: Baby Elephant Card with Nicky

Happy Friday! This is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio blog and I'm sharing a sweet Baby Elephants shaker card for a new baby. Read on for all the details.

To create the card I first made the background panel. For this I took a white A2 panel of sturdy white cardstock and I ink blended using Blush Pink Ink by The Stamp Market and blended the panel gradually making it paler towards the top. I then die cut with the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die.

At this point I slid the panel sideways into a stamp storage pocket and I reached for my stash of sequins and other embellishments and I created a sweet girly mix of pastels and carefully tipped these inside the pocket on the inked side of the panel. I then trimmed back the excess of the stamp pocket to about 1 inch of overhang and then folded and wrapped it around the back of the panel and secured with ScorPal tape on the reverse. The beauty of this kind of shaker card is that the shaker contents move about freely and don't stick to the edges.

I stuck this shaker panel to my card base and then created a white frame using the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies and I stuck this down on the surface of the shaker.

I stamped the images from Baby Elephants and coloured with Copic markers in W4, W3, W2, W1. I die cut some clouds using the Fluffy Clouds Dies and Copic coloured those with C3, C1, B000, BG0000. I die cut the images using the coordinating Baby Elephants Dies, then attached them to the surface of the shaker where they appear to float nicely.

I reserved two clouds and stamped the sentiments on them and then attached them and I highlighted points with a white gel pen before adding the finishing touch  which was the addition of several Iridescent Star Jewels. I used glue dots to attach these and then this baby card was done.

I appreciate you reading about my card today and I'll be back soon with cards for Sunny's forthcoming release. Thanks and have a wonderful weekend.

Limitless Labels Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I have a fun shaker card for you made with one of the nesting Limitless Labels dies combined with some yummy treats from the Candy Shoppe set.

My background panel was made from a sheet of beautiful grey paper (Subtle Grey Tones) since I knew I’d be selecting bright colors for the sweets.

To create the shaker I used the outside die from the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace dies and one of the Limitless Labels dies. Next, I adhered some clear acetate to the back of this panel using strong double-sided tape. Then, I build my shaker wall with foam tape and filled up the shaker with clear and pink sequins from my stash. To close this shaker, I cut a pink piece of the Striped Silly papers.

After stamping the gumball machine, gummi bears and other sweets I started coloring with my trusted Copic markers. I went with fun and happy colors! I stamped the sentiment from Heartfelt Wishes in pink ink on a white banner and adhered it to the bottom of my shaker card.

Next, I mounted the gumball machine and arranged the other sweets left and right. I love finishing a card with some embellishments and today I chose for the Crystal Clear Jewels since my project was so colorful.

This card was fun to make, and I hope it inspired you to create a shaker card as well! Happy crafting!

Summer Jar Mug Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here to share a friendship card featuring the Summer Jar Mug. I have made the jar mug into a shaker for this card and I've colored plus filled it to look like a refreshing cup full of pink lemonade. 

Here's a list of the Sunny Studio products you'll need to create this A2 card design: 

Summer Jar Mug dies - for the mug, straw, and tiny lemon slice die cuts 
Scalloped Oval Mat 3 dies - for the scalloped oval mat
Punny Fruit Greetings -  for the stamped words "friends make life" 
Sweet Word die -  for the die cut word "sweet"
Strawberry Patch dies - for the tiny flower die cut
Classic Gingham Paper - for the gingham background mat

The Sweet Word die is retired but if you don't have it you can use alphabet dies to spell out the word. The Hayley Upper Case or Chloe Alphabet dies would work great! 

To make this jar mug into a fun shaker, I have adhered several layers of the jar mug frame together. I die cut one solid mug shape for the back and 5 layers of the open mug frame to make it thick enough to allow for the shaker bits to move around freely. I filled the shaker well with tiny pink balls and iridescent confetti bits. I then adhered clear acetate and one final mug frame piece over top. The back solid piece and top frame piece were lightly colored with pink ink prior to assembly to enhance the pink lemonade look. 

When adhering the jar mug frame layers together to build up the shaker well, be sure to include the straw in between two layers toward the back. I forgot to do this and after I had my shaker completely assembled, I had to cut a small slit in the back to slide the straw inside the mug.

Strawberry Patch Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today! Happy 4th of July to those who celebrate! How about a refreshing strawberry lemonade to start celebrating this special day? Tempting, right? Let's see how I made this card, shall we? And then I will serve you a drink!

I started off by creating my strawberry lemonade using the Summer Jar Mug. And I built it the same way I did on my Rainbow Mermaid Kisses card and my Ladybug Fairies card. Here are the different steps:

1. Cut a jar frame out of holographic cardstock, cut a whole jar out of acetate, and stick the holographic frame on the acetate jar using liquid glue

2. Cut more jar frames out of white cardstock, and attach them on the acetate. The number of extra frames depends on the thickness of the shaker accessories. For my fake ice cubes, strawberry clay slices and confetti, I cut and attached eight extra jar frames

3. Cut a whole jar out of a pinkish pattern paper

4. Pour the shaker accessories on the acetate

5. Attach the pinkish jar to the jar frame to totally close the shaker

I cut a Strathmore bristol smooth panel using the largest Stitched Rectangle die, and colored it using oxide inks. I started off by creating a base using, from top to bottom, prize ribbon + salty ocean + tumbled glass oxide inks. Next I used a sunray stencil from my stash along with, from top to bottom, chipped sapphire + prize ribbon + salty ocean oxide inks to create a beautiful pattern on my panel. As always, I added texture to my background, starting with water droplets that I dried using a paper towel. I mixed some black soot oxide ink with water, and used a small brush to make more splatters on my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. And to bring an extra 4th of July touch, I used a starry stencil from my stash along with white paste to add white stars all over my panel.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock: the strawberries, paper streamers, stems, etc. So here is a detailed list of the products I used: • Strawberry Patch - strawberries, leaves, stems, flowers • Summer Jar Mug - parasol, ice cubes, lemon slice, straws • Crepe Paper Streamers. And I cut the parasol out of a Surprise Party red starry pattern paper.

I attached my strawberry lemonade on the panel first, using liquid glue, and then all the pieces using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, liquid glue and 3mm glue dots. I white heat embossed my "Wishing you a happy day" greeting from Panda Party on a light blue Brilliant Banner 1 that I attached below the mug using foam squares again, attached my panel to a larger white panel, and to a larger Very Merry red stripe panel using double sided tape.

I added highlights and details to the die-cut pieces using a white gel pen, glued a few iridescent mini star confetti on the background, and added a white blizzard nuvo drop in the center of each flower to make them shine. And that's it! 

This was a very fun card to make, I hope that you like it. Now, who wants a drink? Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Square Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina with a tropical shaker card using the Scalloped Square 1 Large Dies and the Stitched Square Dies.

By combining these two sets, I created a border from a flower pattern paper (Flirty Flowers). I made sure to keep the border wide enough so I could easily add foam tape later. Next, I folded a white square card base, slightly larger than my frame. After gluing some acetate to the border (using strong doubled sided tape) I added some strips of foam tape.

Since I selected a colorful cloud paper from my stash for the background, I opted for simple silver and transparent sequins. After closing the shaker portion with the cloud panel, I adhered this piece to the card base with liquid glue.

For this tropical card, I stamped the layering flowers and leaves from the Radiant Plumeria set  and a cutie from Tropical Birds. I colored him with my Copics in vibrant matching colors.

My sentiment banner with the ‘Best Wishes’ (Heartfelt Wishes) doubles as a ‘resting branch’ for the sweet parrot. I arranged the flowers and leaves in clusters and placed them in two opposite corners of the card. Finally, I added a few Gold Jewels for that extra bling!

Thank you for being here and happy crafting!
