Squirrel Friends Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm very happy to be back with the extra cute Squirrel Friends, all gathered to pick acorns and have fun in the woods.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, as always I used the matching dies to cut them all, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Squirrel Friends - squirrels, acorns, stump • Little Birdie - branches • Silly Sloths - leaves • Bunnyville - grass.

When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and next I moved on to the background. I cut a rounded panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock using the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die, and created a bright background using stencils from my stash along with distress inks: a grass border using peeled paint distress ink, and a cloudy sky using scattered straw and fossilized amber distress ink.

Next I used the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die again to cut a Gingham Jewel Tones brown panel, and used the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die to turn my brown gingham panel into a rounded frame. I attached that frame to my cloudy panel using 1mm foam squares, stamped "You're a little nutty & I love it!" from Squirrel Friends, and then attached all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. Finally I stuck my rounded scene to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches dark brown panel, and then to a brown card base. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this lovely and warm autumn card. Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Squirrel Friends Fall Scene Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi, popping in to share some fall scene cards featuring our Squirrel Friends Stamps. I challenged myself to create two different takes on the same oak tree theme using identical color palettes.

My first card pairs the squirrels, acorn, and tree stump from the Squirrel Friends Stamps with the Autumn Tree Die. This tree comes with three different types of leaves and apples to personalize it for so many different occasions and seasons. I am in love with all the ways it can be used! For my card today, I cut out the oak leaves from pale yellow cardstock and then inked them up using Scattered Straw, Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, and Spice Marmalade distress inks. 

I had a piece of 12x12 American Crafts paper in my stash (from Shimelle Main Character Energy collection) that I used for both of my card backgrounds today. I love using subtle tone-on-tone prints to add a little interest to my projects without making them overly busy, so I'm always lurking around the clearance bins to stock up solid tone-on-tone prints with this purpose in mind. As soon as I saw this print, I knew it would be perfect for the blue skies of many of my scene-style cards. For my green hills, I blended Crushed Olive and Mowed Lawn distress inks and then cut the stitched hillsides using our Slimline Nature Border Dies.

Here's a little peek at the inside of my card with the punchline to "You're a little nutty" paying off when the recipient opens the card and sees "& I love it!" with three of the small acorns from the Squirrel Friends set.

For my second card today featuring the Squirrel Friends Stamps, I paired them with a different oak tree from our Fall Scenes Stamps. I also stamped the rake, a pile of leaves, and some other loose oak leaves from the set for my little squirrel to clean up. For my "Leaves are falling, Autumn is calling" sentiment, I used a greeting from the Happy Harvest Stamps and curved it in my Misti lid to match the curve of the fence border. I then stamped the swirling wind for my leaves from the Fall Kiddos Stamps in Hero Arts Cornflower Ink. Lastly, I stamped the tufts of grass using PinkFresh Studio Olive Ink with the small grassy images from the Tulip Path Background Stamps.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Squirrel Friends Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun birthday card featuring these adorable Squirrel Friends. 

I stamped the images from the Squirrel Friends Stamps and some branches from the Little Birdie Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Squirrel Friends Dies and Little Birdie Dies to die-cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Squirrel: E53/33/35/37, E00/21, W7, R20
Acorn: E00/21/23, E23/27
Trees: E23/25/27, YG01/03/17

For the background, I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and die-cut three windows into it using circle the second and fourth largest dies from the Stitched Circle Small Dies and the third smallest die from the Stitched Circle Large Dies. Using this panel as a guide, I ink blended Tumbled Glass and Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock in the location of those windows. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment 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 absolutely adore the sub-sentiment "You're a little nutty & I love it!" This came from the Squirrel Friends Stamps set and was stamped directly onto the panel with the circle windows with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I adhered the two panels to each other using foam tape. I adhered the sentiment and colored images to the front of the card with foam tape for additional dimension and interest. The card front was adhered to an A2 white 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 and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!
