Foxy Friends Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a slimline card to share with you showcasing these Foxy Friends. I love that this set is packed with so many sweet images.

I stamped the fox, bird and flower pot images from the Foxy Friends Stamps set and the clouds and butterflies from the Tulip Path Background Stamps onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Foxy Friends Dies and Tulip Path Background Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Foxes: YR21/24/27 E35/37, W00/1/3, R00/30
Birds: B000/00/02, Y38
Butterflies: RV10/13/14
Flower Pot: RV10/13/14, YG03/17, W00/1/3
Clouds: C00/1

For the background, I ink blended Kitsch Flamingo, Spun Sugar, Scattered Straw and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. The panel was trimmed with the stitched die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. Using the same die set, I diecut a scalloped panel and the word Hello 4 times out of white cardstock. I layered and adhered the four Hello diecuts to each other with liquid adhesive. I adhered the two slimline panels to each other.

Finally, I decorated the card front with the colored images using a combo of liquid adhesive and 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. For more info, ideas and to check out the entire Spring Release, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Birthday Cards with Rachel Alvarado

Hello everyone! It's Rachel here with two one-layered birthday cards featuring some fun products from the latest release as well as some previously released ones that you may already own in your crafty stash.

My first card is a slimline card that features the Party Pets, Foxy Friends, Cat Antics, and Panda Party stamp sets. I also used the gorgeous Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies for my card base.

One-layered cards are some of my favorites. I always make sure to stamp a template card first on a piece of scrap paper without any masking so I can make sure that my images go exactly where I want them. I then use this rough draft as my layout along with my stamping tool when I create my actual card. I stamp the most front images first (i.e. party hats) and then mask each piece with masking paper and repeat the process as I go until I finish with the back layer (or images that will be behind others). 

Once my entire images were stamped and masked, I then added some ink blending for my background. You can color your backgrounds with markers, but I find that usually takes a longer time (for me) than ink blending. For my card above, I used a mix of Salvaged Patina, Kitsch Flamingo, and Wild Honey Distress Oxide Inks. Once finished, I added some white ink spatters for added interest, removed my masking pieces, and then colored my images with Copic Markers. I finished my card by stamping my sentiments and adding balloon lines with a fine-line black marker and ruler.

My second card was made using a similar process as I did with the first one. For this card, I only used the Party Pets Stamp Set for my images. For my background, I blended a mix of Picked Raspberry and Wild Honey Distress Oxide Ink. I once again used Copic Markers to color my images. I then die cut my card front and base layer with the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment from the Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Stamp Set.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Party Pets Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun shaker birthday card to share with you showcasing the adorable Party Pets set. I absolutely adore this set and have gotten so much mileage out of it. I make birthday cards more than any other cards. This set is jam packed with so many super cute cat and dog images that are perfect for birthday cards. It also includes two different balloon images and a beautiful Happy Birthday sentiment ... a must for making birthday cards.

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

COPIC COLORS:
Cats 1 & 3: Y21 YR21/24, R30
Cat 2: W1/3/5, R30
Red: R22/24/27/29/39

I used the Slimline Nature Borders Dies to die cut a piece of clear acetate to make my own cloud stencil. I ink blended a cloudy background with this stencil and some Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock.

For the shaker, I used the second largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Window Dies to die cut a window out of white cardstock. I adhered a piece of clear acetate to the backside to create the shaker window. I added a layer of foam tape onto the backside to create the shaker well. I added some sparkling clear confetti sequins for my shaker bits before closing off the shaker well with the inked cloudy panel. 

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Party Pets stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of red cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating Party Pets Dies to die cut it out. I adhered the sentiment and colored images to the front of the shaker. I used a Copic Multiliner pen to draw in the balloon strings. Finally, I adhered the shaker 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. For more info, ideas and to check out the entire Spring Release, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Foxy Friends Cards with Rachel Alvarado

Hello friends! This is Rachel with two cards to share with you today that feature the new Foxy Friends Stamps and Die Sets. These sweet little foxes are sure to bring a smile to anyone's face!

For my first card, I created a birthday box card using the MFT Stamps Outside the Box Level Up Die-namics for my card base. I first stamped all of my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then colored them with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I used a combination of light teal and pink card stock pieces for my base as well as a light blending of Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink for my background sky. In addition to the Foxy Friends set, I also added a few birds from the adorable Little Birdies Stamps and Die Sets.

My second card features the Foxy Friends set combined with the new Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies. I die cut three layers of the rounded rectangles in different colors of card stock and adhered them together. I then die cut a strip of grass from green card stock using the Slimline Nature Border Dies and then a second time using one of the rounded rectangle dies. I once again used some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink for my background and lightly blended my grass area with some Pinkfresh Studio Grassy Knoll Ink.

Copic Colors Used:

• Fox: 0, E00, E13, E08, E09
• Teals: G000, BG34, W3, W5
• Pinks: RV00, RV10, RV63, BG90, BG93
• Greens: G43, G46

Designer's Choice: Snowman Kisses Card with Nicky

Hi! This is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I hope everyone has been enjoying their holidays these past few days. I'm sharing a card I made and sent to a family member in the UK where we say Happy Christmas (Xmas) almost more than we say Merry Christmas, hence the sentiment. Read on for all the details.

Inspired by peppermint and candy canes I selected to use pinks, white and reds for this project. I took a panel of pink cardstock and I die cut it using the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. I backed this panel with white craft foam and applied it to an A2 white panel and then to my card base.

I used the Slimline Nature Borders Die to create some snow to ground the snowmen and glued it in place.

I stamped the snowmen from Snowman Kisses and coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:

Snowmen - C3, C1, C0
Red - R59, R39, R29
Pink Cheeks - RV63, RV52, RV00
Black - T9, T6, T5, T4
Brown - E49, E77, E44, E43
Green - YG45

I used a white gel pen to add designs to the scarf and highlight certain points to make them pop and then I die cut the images using the coordinating Snowman Kisses Die. Each image was backed with foam tape and applied to the background.

For the bold sentiment I used the Chloe Alphabet Die. I die cut the required letters once from red cardstock and twice from sturdy white cardstock and glued the letters in stacks with the red top layer slightly offset to the right so the white underneath acts as a highlight. I used some of the red Copic markers listed above to add shading to the lettering so that it had a more 3D appearance and then I glued the letters in place.

The finishing touch was to add some playful snowflake embellishments throughout the scene and I highlighted the sentiment and then this card was ready to send!

Thank you for coming by the blog today and I wish you all a very happy new year!

Snowmen in Sweaters Holiday Gift Bag with Nicky

Well hello everyone, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog where I'm sharing a fun Snowmen In Sweaters Holiday Gift Bag project. Read on for all the details:

I started by taking two matching sheets of patterned paper from the All Is Bright 6 x 6 Cardstock and I assembled the Sweet Treats Bag Die which is a very simple process and can be found in a useful video created by Sunny owner Mendi in THIS VIDEO.

I then adorned the bag with two snow drifts at the bottom of both the front and the back, using the Slimline Nature Borders Die, and I added a double layer of lace around the top edge (also front and back) using the Eyelet Lace Borders Die.

With the bag formed I used some cotton cord and knotted the handles in place and set it to one side.

I stamped the snowmen from Snowmen In Sweaters using Memento Ink in Black Tuxedo and I coloured the images with the following Copic marker combinations inspired by colours from the patterned paper:

Snowmen - C3, C1, C0, BG000
Teal - BG49, BG15, BG32
Red - R59, R39, R29, R27
Pink - RV63, RV52
Black - T9, T6, T4
White - C3, C1, C0
Blush - R22, R21, R20, R00
Noses - YR09, YR04

I shaded their coloured clothing using T3 and T2. Images were die cut, with the coordinating Snowmen In Sweaters Die, then highlighted with a white gel pen and applied to the bag with foam tape.

To adorn the bag further I added the little gift tag with the sentiment stamped from Happy Thoughts, I also added some Lacy Snowflakes die-cuts and a few sparkling clear sequins.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today to read about this treat bag, I hope you feel inspired to tackle one for yourself. Happy crafting!
