Tiki Time Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm so happy to be back on the blog! Since summer is officially here, I thought it would be nice to take you to the beach, drink some refreshing cocktails and have fun in the ocean. As very often, the scene I had in mind was extra busy with many images, so I went for a slimline design to create my card.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Tiki Time Summer Themed Card by Marine Simon (featuring Slimline Dies, Kiddie Pool, Seasonal Trees, Beach Babies)

I started off by stamping all the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

As always, here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Tiki Time - bar, torches, cocktails, leaves, toucans • Seasonal Trees - palm tree, coconuts • Tropical Birds - flowers • Paris Afternoon - table & parasol, chairs • Beach Bus - surfboard • Ocean View - seashell • Beach Babies - two characters, balloon • Kiddie Pool - four characters, droplets • Beach Buddies - sunglasses, snorkeling mask.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, set them aside for later, and cut a 3 x 8 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel. I masked the stitched edges off with washi tape, divided it in three sections using washi tape again, and used oxide inks to create my beach landscape:

• in the upper section, I created a cloudy sky using a stencil from my stash along with tumbled glass and broken china. I mixed some broken china oxide ink with water, and used a slim brush to add splatters to my sky,

• on the middle section, I blended antique linen and vintage photo to create sand, and added brown splatters using vintage photo oxide ink,

• on the lower section, I did the ocean using broken china and uncharted mariner, and added dark blue splatters using uncharted mariner oxide ink.

Next I mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over the panel. And to give the illusion of sea foam between the sand section and the ocean section, I applied white ink on that area using a sponge dauber, and added even more ink using the rounded end of a brush.

When my panel was dry, I white embossed "Happy summer" from Beach Babies at the very bottom, and then I attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

Next I cut a scalloped panel out of aqua cardstock using a Slimline Scalloped Frame die, attached it to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches white card base using 1mm foam tape, and finally stuck my beach scene panel using foam tape again.

And that's it! Now put your swimsuit on, grab your sunscreen and sunglasses, and let's go have some fun at the beach! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Beach Bus Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun card to mark the official start of summer! If people build sandcastles at the beach, then what do mice build at the beach? They build "sandmice", of course! My card features the adorable images from the Beach BusSealiously SweetHarvest Mice and Merry Mice sets. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Beach Bus Summer Themed Card by Hanh Nguyen (featuring Sealiously Sweet, Harvest Mice, Merry Mice, Slimline Nature Border Dies, Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies)

I stamped the images from the Beach Bus Stamps, Sealiously Sweet Stamps, Harvest Mice Stamps and Merry Mice Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Beach Bus DiesSealiously Sweet DiesHarvest Mice Dies, and Merry Mice Dies to die cut them out. I also used the Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies to die cut a piece of Neenah cardstock for the scene. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Tree: YG01/03/25/17, E31/33/35
Bus: G000 BG34/15, C1/3, T5/7, Y11, R05
Mice: C00/0/1/3/5, R00/02
Ball: RV00/02/04, G000 BG34/15, C00/1
Surfboard: RV00/02/04/06, C00/1
Sand/Sandmouse: E30/31/33

For the background, I used the Slimline Nature Borders Dies to die cut a piece of clear acetate to make my own cloud stencil. I separated the pieces that I die cut with the Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies. I masked off the bottom half of the large panel. I ink blended a cloudy background with my homemade stencil and some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. Then, I masked off the cloudy top half of the panel as well as the bottom portion of the panel so as to only expose about a 1/2" strip in the middle of the panel. I inked this strip of the panel with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink. Once the panel was dry, I colored in the sand with Copic markers. I adhered the frame of the backdrop panel to a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5"). I placed the remaining two pieces into the frame like a puzzle.

For the sentiment, I stamped the "Summer" sentiment from the Beach Bus stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating Beach Bus Dies to die cut it out. Then I stamped the sub-sentiments "sending" and "vibes" directly onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I adhered the tree, bus and surfboard to the front of the inked panel with liquid adhesive. The sentiment, mice, sandmouse and ball were adhered onto the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. Finally, I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base (4.25" x 5.5").

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.

Two Scoops Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, back with a super duper extra colorful birthday card showcasing Two Scoops. I've had this stamp set in my stash for a very long time, and I knew that when I'd use it, it would be on a rainbow themed card. So here we are!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Two Scoops Birthday Card by Marine Simon (featuring Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies, Ribbon & Lace Border Dies, Notebook Photo Corner Dies)

I started off with all the stamping, and the Two Scoops layering stamps are super easy to line up, so even if it looks like the stamping took a million years, it actually did not, it actually was pretty quick. Here is a detailed list of the Lawn Fawn premium dye inks I used to stamp everything, from light to dark:

• pink - ballet slippers + peachy keen + guava

• orange - peach fuzz + carrot + fake tan

• yellow - butter + lemonade + sunflower

• green - celery stick + freshly cut grass + jalapeno

• aqua - kiddie pool + merman + peacock

• purple - fresh lavender + grape jelly + sugarplum

• cones - pizza crust + doe

Once the stamping was done, I cut the images using the matching dies, mixed some copic opaque white ink with water, and used a slim brush to add white splatters to each image. I also picked matching distress inks, mixed each of them with water, added more splatters to the ice-creams, and then I did the same with matching distress spritz for sparkling details.

Next I cut a slimline panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using a die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set, and used distress inks to create watercolored splashes, giving the illusion of melting ice-cream. I mixed each ink with water, and from left to right, I applied the colors with a fluffy brush: worn lipstick, spiced marmalade, mustard seed, mowed lawn, peacock feathers and wilted violet. I let the paper dry, and then added more ink to get different shades on each splash of colors.

I added water splatters all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, I mixed the same distress inks with water and used a slim brush to add matching splatters, next I did the same with copic opaque white ink, and then with matching distress spritz for shine and sparkles.

Once my watercolored panel was dry, I attached it to a slightly larger slimline aqua panel using liquid glue, and then worked on the rainbow scalloped panel. I started by cutting multiple strips out of colored cardstock using a strip die from the Ribbon & Lace Borders die set. I attached each strip of paper to a large piece of cardstock in this order: pink, orange, yellow, green, aqua and purple, and then used the scalloped die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set to cut my rainbow strips panel. I attached this panel to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches white card base using 1mm foam tape, and then stuck my watercolored panel on top using foam tape again.

For my greeting, I cut two fishtail banners using a die from the Notebook Photo Corners die set: a pink one and a gold glitter one, and I white heat embossed "Hope you have a sweet birthday" from Summer Sweet on the pink one. I stuck the pink banner on top of the gold glitter one, shifted them for a little bit of more fun, using 1mm foam squares, and finally attached my banner at the bottom right hand corner of my card using foam squares again.

And that's it! I very much love how it all turned out, with all those beautiful layering stamps matching with the splashes of colors in the background. I hope that you like it too. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Just Bee-Cause Card with Marine

Bzzz bzzz crafty friends! This is Marine here, and I'm super happy to be back with this extra buzzzy slimline card featuring Mr Bear and his bee friends. Another mix & match that I very much enjoyed working on.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Just Bee-Cause Card by Marine Simon (featuring Holiday Hugs, Picket Fence Border Dies, Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies, Little Birdie)

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I used the coordinating dies to cut them all and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph’it brush markers. Browns and greens for the branches, and of course a black and yellow color palette for the bees, beehives and Mr Bear's accessories.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Just Bee-Cause - bees, beehives • Holiday Hugs - bear • Little Birdie - branches • Garden Critters - watering can • Chubby Bunny + Chickie Baby - flowers.

Once the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and moved on to the background. I cut a 7,75 x 2,75 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel using the stitched mat die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set, and I covered the entire panel with clouds using a cloudy stencil from my stash along with salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks. I splattered water all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added more splatters to the panel using a slim brush, and then I did the same with peacock feathers oxide ink for more contrast.

I used the same slimline die as my main panel to cut two pieces out of green cardstock, and cut a grass border out of each piece using a die from the Picket Fence die set. I added a little bit of rustic wilderness oxide ink to the edges of both borders, mixed a little bit of that same ink with water and added green splatters to the borders, as well as white ink splatters, and then I white heat embossed "Just bee-cause" from Just Bee-Cause on the smallest grass border.

I assembled and attached everything to my panel, starting at the very bottom with the largest grass border first using 1mm foam squares. Next I stuck Mr Bear using the same foam adhesives, added the small grass border on the foreground using 2mm foam squares, and then attached the rest of the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares again.

Next I created the card base and first cut a slimline scalloped panel out of dark gray cardstock using another die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set, I cut an 8 x 3 inches white slimline panel that I attached to the scalloped panel using 1mm foam tape, and stuck my scene panel to the white panel using liquid glue. I attached the whole thing to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches dark yellow card base, and to complete my card, I applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the bees wings to make them sparkle.

And that's it! Another super cute and fun mix & match that turned out pretty cool I think. I hope that you like it too! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
