Rounded Rectangle Window Die Focused Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing this tropical birthday card with lots of bright summer colors.

I started by die-cutting two frames from green and pink cardstock using the Rounded Rectangle Window dies. For this, I used the two largest dies in the set to create a colorful layered frame.

Next, I used the second largest die to cut a card base from white cardstock. I then die-cut sections of this white panel using the Slimline Nature Borders Dies. After cutting the different sections, I blended them with ink to create a soft beach scene with sandy beach and fluffy clouds in the background.

From green cardstock, I die-cut the Botanical Backdrop die. I adhered the leafy pieces to the pink frame first and then attached the entire frame to the beach background panel. Finally, I added the green frame around the design and adhered everything to a white card base.

For the focal point, I stamped the adorable flamingo from the Fabulous Flamingos stamp set and the balloon from the Party Pets stamp set. I colored both images with my Ohuhu Pencils, adding bright pinks and blues to make them really stand out against the soft background.

I adhered the flamingo to the center of the card and finished the design by stamping the sentiment from the Fabulous Flamingos stamp set with blue ink.

Card done, ready to send joy! Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.

Slimline Scalloped Frame Die Focused Card with Marieke

Hello all, Marieke here. I'm back again with my weekly post for Sunny Studio Stamps. Today I hope to inspire you with a card that I made using the Slimline Scalloped Frame Die.

Die cut the outer die of the Slimline Scalloped Frame Die twice out of white cardstock. Scored one at 3/4 inch and adhered them together on the 3/4 inch scored strip. Die cut the inner die out of watercolor paper and ink blended it using Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistashio. Splattered some water. Cut a kraft rectangle slightly larger than the watercolor panel. Adhered them together and on the base card using foam tape.

Stamped all the images out of Clucky Chickens, colored them up using my Copic markers and cut them using my scissors. Die cut the congrats die out of the Slimline Scalloped Frame Die five times. 4 Times out of white cardstock and once out of a light yellow cardstock. Inked up the light sentiment using a yellow and orange ink before adhering them together.

Used Copic Colors:
White - C5, C3, C1, C00, 0
Red - R59, R29, R24
Yellow - Y17, Y15, Y13
Hay - E17, Y17, Y15, Y13
Wood - E37, E35, E33, E31 / E79, E77, E74, E71
Eggs - E53, E51, E50
Orange - YR27, YR24, YR21

Die cut the Scalloped Fence Dies four times out of kraft cardstock. Stamped the sentiment on some white vellum and heat set it. Trimmed it down to a banner and adhered all the elements on the card. Finished the card by stamping some dark splatters. 

Have a wonderful day!

Hayley Alphabet Die Focused Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I’m sharing a card featuring the Hayley Uppercase Alphabet dies and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet dies, yummy watermelons and some cute foxes!

I started off by trimming a piece of pink card stock from my stash to 4,25 x 5,5 inches to cover the front of my A2 size card base. Next, I trimmed a piece of turquoise patterned paper, heart side up from the Flirty Flowers Paper pack to 3,75 x 5 inches and adhered it to a piece of black card stock trimmed slightly bigger and adhered them to my A2 size card base.

I then trimmed a piece of green patterned paper, floral side up, also from the Flirty Flowers Paper pack to 3,75 x 5 inches. Using the grass die from the Slimline Nature Borders Die set I die cut two pieces of grass and adhered them to the heart patterned paper!

I stamped three of the cute foxes, the cart and two of the birds from the Foxy Friends Stamps set on alcohol ink friendly card stock using Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below. I then die cut out the images using the coordinating Foxy Friends Dies.

Copic colors used:
Foxes: W0/1, E08/09/97, YR21, R30/32
Cart: E21/23/25, C4/6
Birds: RV52/55, V000, YR21

To create the watermelons, I ink blended three smaller pieces of white card stock, using green, light yellow and pink ink and die cut them out using the Juicy Watermelon Dies. I took a little scrap piece of black card stock to die cut out the seeds; I chose the heart shaped ones! Using liquid glue I assembled the watermelon slices!

Did you notice that one of the foxes even took a bite out of one of the watermelon slices! That is a die from the die set and what a fun little detail!

Now on to creating the Hello Summer greeting using the Hayley Alphabet Die sets. They come in two different sets, Uppercase and Lowercase and I used both for my card! I die cut the letters out from pink and black card stock. I glued the pink letters together to create the words Hello and Summer, finished them off by gluing the black letters to create a shadow.

I added foam dots to the back of the watermelons, foxes and birds for dimension and arranged my scene and adhered them to the card. The greeting was glued to the card using liquid glue!

Thank you for stopping by! Wishing you a happy and colorful day!

Wedded Bliss Card with Tina M

Hi there! Tina M here! Today I’m sharing a card featuring the Wedded Bliss Set! I started off by trimming a piece of red patterned paper, from the Classic Sunburst Paper to 5,5 x 4,25 inches, the sunburst patterned side up and adhered it to my A2 size card base.

Next, I ran two pieces of white cardstock and one piece of black cardstock through my die cutting machine using the largest of the Limitless Labels 1 Die. I ink blended one of the white pieces with turquoise ink, the other with green ink, for sky and grass. The black piece I adhered behind the turquoise piece as a shadow. As I wanted a festive feel for this bride & groom, I splattered gold watercolor on the turquoise panel!

For my hill/grass piece I used the Slimline Nature Borders Die. Next, I stamped the adorable penguins from the Wedded Bliss Stamps, the branches, leaves and flowers from the Love Birds Stamps using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol ink friendly card stock and used the coordinating Wedded Bliss Dies, and the Love Birds Dies, to die cut them out and colored them with my Copic Markers, see list below.

Leaves: G94, YG03/17
Tree: E21/23/25
Penguins; W0/1/2/3, N3/4/5/6, R30/32, YR21/24/27
Tiara: Y26/28
Dress: C1
Tux: N3/4/5
Flowers: R02/05, Y26/28
Hearts: R02/05

I used the branches as trees for this card, and I glued the leaves and flowers to them! Next, I stamped the sentiment, from the Wedded Bliss Stamps set on my grass piece. I added foam dots to the grass piece so that I could easily tuck the bottom of my trees underneath.

I added foam dots to the upper half of the bride & groom and used liquid glue for the lower part and adhered them to the card. I glued the flowers directly on the grass and the hearts were popped up with foam dots. I adhered my sweet wedding scene to the sunburst patterned card base!

Thank you for stopping by! Wishing you a happy and colorful day!

Love Birds Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I have a sweet and punny birthday card to share with you showcasing the Love Birds set. 

I stamped the mages from the Love Birds Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Love Birds Dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Blue Birds: B32/21/24, Y17, R20
Yellow Bird: Y11/13/15/19. Y17, R20
Green Bird: YG00/01/03, Y17, R20
Branch: E31/23/25
Leaves: YG01/03/25
Flowers: Y13/17, R20

For the background, I used the Slimline Nature Borders Dies to diecut a piece of clear acetate to make my own cloud stencil. I used my homemade cloud stencil and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink to ink blend a subtle background onto a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock. On another piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, I used the largest die from the Stitched Arch Dies to diecut a window.  

For the sentiment, I used the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles Die to diecut a speech bubble and the Stitched Rectangle Dies to diecut a banner out of pink cardstock. I stamped the “A Little Birdie Told Me” and the “It’s Your Bird Day” sentiments from the Little Birdie Stamps onto the speech bubble and the banner with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

I adhered the colored images and the sentiments to the panel with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. Foam tape was used to adhere the two panels to each other before it was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”).

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. Be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Monkey Business Cards with Rachel Alvarado

Hello crafty friends! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! It's Rachel here, and I have two cards to share with you that showcase the adorable new Monkey Business Stamps and Jungle Vines Dies. I had so much fun making these cards with these products!

For my first card, I created a shadow box card that folds flat for shipping. This card measures at 5.5" tall, 4.25" wide, and 1.5" deep. When folded flat, it can fit in a standard A8 envelope and measures 5.5" tall and 5.75" long. For the front window of this shadow box, I die cut a rounded stitched rectangle using the Rounded Rectangle Window Dies. 

For the inside of the card, I added a few hills of grass using the Slimline Nature Border Dies. I die cut the grass pieces from white card stock and blended them with Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink. I also die cut my vines and foliage pieces from white card stock and used Copic Markers to give them some color and shading. For my monkeys, I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored them with Copic Markers. I then die cut them using the coordinating Monkey Business Dies.

Lastly, I heat embossed my sentiment on black card stock using some Fine Detail White Embossing Powder and glued it to the front strip of grass.

Copic Colors Used:

• Monkeys: E000, E00, E11, E04 (light areas); E43, E44, E47 (dark areas)
• Foliage: YG01, YG06, YG17, YG67
• Tree Limbs: E31, E23, E25, E29
• Bananas: Y13, Y15, V12

I used the same Copic colors for my images on my second card as well as the Monkey Business Stamp Set and Dies. For my background, I used a beautiful piece of patterned paper from the Spring Fling Paper Pad. This pre-printed design makes it super easy to add some beautiful backgrounds without any fuss.

Once again, I heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder and cut it out using my paper trimmer before adhering it to my card.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today and will give these products a closer look! Thanks so much for stopping by!
