Designer's Choice Cards with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone! Isha here and this week we are given a designer's choice as our theme. I decided to make a full shaker card using the Fintastic Friends stamps and dies. I really love all the illustrations on this set.

To start, I sponged peacock feathers, blueprint sketch, salty ocean and chipped sapphire distress inks to a white cardstock. Add some sun rays reflection by sponging some more ink through a stencil. Stamp the baubles using blueprint sketch ink, add details using white gel pen. Stamp all the images using alcohol friendly ink, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere some of the images to this piece.

I then created the shaker pocket around this piece using the Waffle Flower A2 shaker pocket. Fill in chunky glitter, seed beads and some iridescent baubles.

Die-cut a sea bed using the Slimline Nature Border dies. Sponge antique linen, vintage photo inks, flick some of the same ink. Adhere to the front of the shaker pocket. Adhere the rest of the images. Thank you for dropping by. Have a nice day!

Hi folks, Kavya here with another fun project! I love it when I find some unexpected combinations or scenes in a children’s book that inspires my next card like the one today. Yes, I love browsing through children’s book just for inspiration even though I have no kids of my own! They are BEST places for possible critter scenes. 

I first started off my card by ink blending the background using Seedless Preserves, Mermaid Lagoon and Chipped Sapphire distress oxide ink. Then, I splattered some white paint for stars and created some more using a white gel pen. 

Then, I colored a bunch of images from Spring Scenes and Baby Elephants. Finally, I finished it off by adding a sentiment from Inside Greetings - Congrats and a thin border from a generic die :)

That’s it! Wasn’t that quick and simple? Hope this inspires you! Happy Crafting!

Country Carnival Cards with Alma and Gladys

Hi, Alma here and I feel so honored to join this gorgeous Sunny Studio Stamps DT for the next months. I created my first card with the brand new Country Carnival Stamps. 

I stamped the Ferris wheel, the tent and the carousel and coloured them with shades of red and brown. Then I blended the background with Distress Inks. I cut the stamps with the Country Carnival Dies and created a background with the three motifs. After that I added a vellum over the background to get a soft background. Then I used the frame of Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace.

Finally I stamped and coloured the penguins of the set Wedded Bliss and the bench of the set Spring Scene Stamps and added them in front of the card.

Hello everyone! Gladys here with a new project using brand new stamps and dies from the summer release!! There are lots of fun designs in this release perfect for summer. I know you will absolutely love them as much as I do!

For my card today I used the new stamp set called Country Carnival. It has everything you need to create a carnival theme and I can think of other stamps that will go well with this set. I started by stamping the images on 110lb cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I think it's helpful to have the coordinating dies with this set since the images are very detailed. For example the die will cut in between the spokes of the ferris wheel. Personally it looks a lot cleaner with the dies than having to fussy cut in between them.

Next I used the Slimline Scalloped Frame die to cut from Bristol smooth cardstock. I used tape to mask off along the edges then I ink blended the panel with distress oxide inks. I chose the colors picked raspberry, abandoned coral and scattered straw for my background. To add interest I used a small fan brush to add water droplets and diluted picked raspberry to add splatters. I also use the Slimline Scalloped Frame die to cut from dark gray cardstock and trimmed off the scallop edge.

I assembled my scene and used liquid glue to adhere them onto the panel. To add a little bit of dimension I used the coordinating dies to cut from white cardstock to glue behind the colored images. I think this is a good alternative if you don't want to use foam tape. Also because I didn't want to have to cut foam tapes in tiny pieces especially for the ferris wheel and balloon strings. For the sentiment I white heat embossed it on black cardstock. Finally I used glossy accents for the balloons and star dust stickles for the cotton candy, unicorns and star.  

I hope you like my carnival theme card. All of the products are now available in the shop so go check it out. I appreciate you joining me and I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Spring Greenery Cards with Marine and Anja

Hello crafty friends, Marine here! Today's card is all about customization. I created my own leafy background using Spring Greenery, I used the branch from Outback Critters to make bamboo, and turned bears from Bear Hugs into pandas.

So as always I started off by stamping all my images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and I first worked on the bears from Bear Hugs. To turn them into pandas, I referred to a picture on my phone, and traced some lines using a pencil to divide their bodies into different sections and this way know which part is black: the eyes, ears, arms and legs. And to do this I'm just referring to a picture on my phone. I used my black memento pen, which is an alcohol marker friendly pen, to trace over the pencil lines and then I colored the images to create a baby panda and his mom.

And next I colored the other images: the branches from Outback Critters in green to create bamboo, the mountains from Spring Scenes, the grass, butterflies and small flowers from Bunnyville.

Next I created my leafy background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25" bristol panel, and started by covering it with mowed lawn oxide ink. Next I applied some rustic wilderness oxide ink on the four edges, and then used my mowed lawn blending tool again to achieve a nice blending.

I die cut the Spring Greenery leaves several times out of bristol cardstock, and colored them using rustic wilderness oxide ink again. And next I randomly glued them on my green panel using liquid glue. I added texture and details to this leafy panel: splatters of rustic wilderness oxide ink + water, splatters of black soot oxide ink + water, and splatters of copic opaque white ink + water.

To set my cute panda scene, I cut some additional pieces: two Stitched Oval 2 elements out of a grass pattern paper from the Spring Fling paper pack and out of a blue pattern paper from the Spring Sunburst paper pack, and one Scalloped Oval Mat 1 element out of a yellow cardstock. I layered those pieces on top of each other to create a cute scenery, and then I popped the whole on my leafy background using foam squares.

I stuck all the images, and for my sentiment I cut a pink banner using a die from the Stitched Rectangle die set, I white heat embossed my customized sentiment "For my beary sweet mom" on it, and attached it right below the cute pandas. I attached my panel to a green card base, and as always I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images and sky using a white gel pen.

And that's it, I love this cute baby panda and his mom, they are so cute! I hope that this card will inspire you to stretch out your supplies and use them in different ways. As always, you are more than welcome to check the process video for more information (click the image above). Thanks for stopping by, and see you next week!

Hello everyone, Anja here and today's Clean and Simple card features the versatile Spring Greenery Dies. I chose the veined leaves and die cut them from cardstock in rainbow colors.

I let the leaves float across the left side of the white A2 card base and added one of the scripty Lovey Dovey sentiments to the right. It was stamped in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with Platinum embossing powder.

After cutting it out with the coordinating die, I adhered it with small slivers of foam tape. Finally, I embellished the card with matching glitter enamel dots.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an amazing day!

Critters On The Go Cards with Marine and Anja

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, it's been a while since my last little scene, so I'm glad to be back today with this interactive card showcasing Critters on the Go. So let's go to the park to meet some friends and have fun riding scooters and skateboards!

I created the background first, and divided my panel in several parts. From top to bottom: the sky, a grass section, a path and then two riding ramps. I used stencils and masking tape to create those section along with distress inks: 

- the sky: tumbled glass + salty ocean
- the grass section: shabby shutters + mowed lawn
- the path: frayed burlap + gathered twigs
- the riding ramps: hickory smoke + black soot

Next I created the interactive feature, so please watch the video down below to see the whole process, and then I did all the coloring. I stamped my images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers.

In addition to the images from Critters on the Go, I picked more images from different sets:

- Heart Bouquet - small bows
- Spring Scenes - trees & grass
- Balloon Rides - banner
- Bear Hugs - balloons to make speech bubbles

Once the coloring was done, I attached all my cute images on the interactive panel using foam squares. I cut a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4 inches panel out of a rainbow polka dot paper from the Spring Fling paper pack, I stuck that panel on a light blue card base and then attached my interactive panel on top of it using strong double sided tape.

For my sentiment, I cut a pink banner using a die from the Stitched Rectangle die set, I white heat embossed the phrase "I wheelie like you" using words from Critters on the Go and Fall Friends and attached the banner right above the trees.

As always, I added highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen, and finally, to tell the recipient of the card how to play with it, I cut two small black arrows. I attached one of them on the left side next to the scalloped wheel, and I cut the pointy end off the second arrow and stuck that tiny piece below the first arrow to get an arrow with two pointy ends.

And that's it! I hope that you like this adorable and fun little scene at the park, I will see you next week with a new Sunny Studio project!

Hello everyone, Anja here and today I'm back with a fun card featuring the Critters on the Go Stamps. I especially like the dogs on their skateboards!

I started off with an A2 landscape card base and created a scene using the Slimline Nature Border Dies which I cut from several cardstocks. I also added stitched cloud shapes to the light blue sky with the Fluffy Clouds Dies.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out.

For my greeting, I cut the Hello Word Die from shiny holographic cardstock and stamped the sentiment from the Happy Hamsters set with turquoise pigment ink. I adhered the die cuts and images with liquid glue and finished off the card with three red hearts placed around the sentiment.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wheelie great day!
