Party Pets Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a clean and simple birthday card to share with you showcasing this adorable pup from the Party Pets set. I absolutely adore this set and find myself repeatedly reaching for it. 

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:
Dog: E50/51/53/33/35, R000/20, R22
Balloons: RV000/10/21/13/14

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 Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. Once the panel was dry, I used the second largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies to die cut the panel.

I adhered a piece of craft foam to the backside of the panel before adhering it to a piece of white cardstock that was matted with a slightly larger piece of black cardstock (4.25" x 5.5").

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Party Pets stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black 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 inked 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 finished the card with a few Majestic Clear Confetti.

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.

Designer's Choice: Foxy Friends Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back with this fun and lovely slimline scene featuring a character you might have recognized: Little Red Riding Hood. I created her using an image from Puddle Jumpers, and gave her some sweet and gentle wolf friends using images from Foxy Friends. Super fun!

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. For Little Red Riding Hood, I simply masked the duck details off the hood, applied the ink to the stamp, removed the washi tape and then stamped the image. I did this two or three times to get a really nice impression, cut all the images using the matching dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers. I went for different shades of green for the trees, neutral warm grays for the wolves, turquoise the birds and of course red for Little Red Riding Hood, as well as the birdhouses for more red accents on the card.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Foxy Friends - wolves, birds • Puddle Jumpers - little red riding hood • Seasonal Trees - trees, birdhouses, log • Bunnyville - grass, butterflies.

Next I cut a slimline panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using a die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set, I divided it in half using washi tape, and colored both parts using oxide inks. I started with the lower section and blended mowed lawn and rustic wilderness oxide inks. I mixed some rustic wilderness oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to the grass border. Next I moved on to the upper part, first covered the entire section with tumbled glass oxide ink, and then used a tree stencil from my stash along with broken china oxide ink to add a forest background to my scene. I splattered water on the upper section and dried the panel with a paper towel, mixed some broken china with water and added more splatters, and then mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added white splatters all over my panel.

I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and once my panel was dry, I attached them all using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I cut a slightly larger slimline panel out of white cardstock and attached my Little Red Riding Hood scene on top using liquid glue. I cut a scalloped panel out of yellow cardstock using another Slimline Scalloped Frame die, stuck it to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches card base using 1mm foam tape, and then attached my little scene using foam tape again because I like my cards to have dimension.

Finally I used a Brilliant Banner 1 die to cut a banner out of brown cardstock, white heat embossed "Life with you is an adventure" from Critter Campout on that banner, and attached it right above Little Red Riding Hood using foam squares again. 

And that's it! I've had this idea in mind for quite a while so I was very happy to finally create it and I'm glad of how it turned out. Love those little wolves so much! I hope you do too. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Background Basics 2 Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a sweet Easter card featuring the Background Basics 2 stamps, more specifically the large diagonal grid.

I selected a white card base and cut a rectangle background panel from white paper with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Stripes die. I love the scalloped edge, but to enhance this piece even more I added an ‘embossed look’ with the Dotted Diamond Portrait die. Next, I simply glued this panel to the card base as my first layer.

The adorable Big Bunny is going to be my main focal point of this card and I discovered that she fits perfectly inside the largest of the Stitched Ovals. This pieces was then decorated with the big grid from Background Basics 2 stamps and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide. I deliberately kept some areas of the stamping lighter or even white.

For extra detail I glued this panel to a white Scalloped Oval Mat 1 piece and added the whole to the card with liquid glue. For the star of the show (the cutie from Big Bunny), the bouquet and the bow, I selected Copic markers in fun Spring colors matching the blue of my grid background. The combined sentiment is from the same set and stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

To put the scene together, I cut a white strip with one of the Slimline Basic Borders and the largest of the Stitched Ovals to give this piece it’s rounded edges. I glued this piece in place and added the bunny with the bow and tulips. Lastly, I placed the sentiment on the bottom of the oval shape. As a final embellishment, I added a few Gold Jewels. 

I hope you will enjoy these fun background stamps as much as I did! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

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.

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!
