Window Trio Heart Die Focused Squirrel Friends Card with Amanda

We're excited to welcome Amanda Fitterer to the Sunny Studio Stamps design team! You can follow her and see more of her creations on her BLOG and on INSTAGRAM.

Hello friends! It’s Amanda here wishing you a VERY Happy New Year’s Eve! Is it too soon to make Valentine’s Day cards?! Well... I made one anyway using the new Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies! I’m excited to share it with you!

I made this mini slimline card using the Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies and the Squirrel Friends Stamps. To create this sweet little Valentine, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3” x 6.75”. I also trimmed a gorgeous piece of blush pink cardstock to 2.75” x 6.5”. I ran this panel through my die cutting machine with the Window Trio Heart Portrait Dies. I also ran the die through with a darker pink cardstock, just so I could get the inner stitched hearts from that piece. 

I glued my blush pink cardstock panel to my white panel. Then, I adhered my darker pink hearts using 3D foam squares so they really popped!

Now onto those nutty little squirrels! I stamped the images from the Squirrel Friends Stamps and then colored them with Copic markers. Here are the markers I used:
Squirrels: E30, E31, E24, E25, E23, E25, E27, E29, W8, R02
Acorns: E11, E13, E15, E35, E37, E39

I cut out the images using the Squirrel Friends Dies. Next, I stamped my sentiments on a dark gray cardstock with a WOW! Embossing Pad. I applied WOW! Super Fine Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder to the glue. Then, I melted the powder using my heat gun.

I used scissors and a paper trimmer to cut out the sentiments. I used 3D foam squares behind all of the sentiments and images and then adhered them to the card. Finally, I used white paint to create dots all over the front of the card. After letting that dry, I glued my card front to a card base trimmed to 6” x 6.75”.

Thank you so much for stopping by the Sunny Studio Blog today! Cheers to 2025!!

Squirrel Friends Card with Amanda

Well hello there, friends! It's Amanda sharing a super sweet Autumn card I made with you today! I love being able to craft and share my creations with you! Keep scrolling to see how I created this card, featuring the Squirrel Friends Stamps, that I'm just NUTS about!

To create this card, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3.25" x 6.25". I ink blended Catherine Pooler Buttercream and Apricot inks on the lower portion of the panel. I stamped some little leaves from the Squirrel Friends Stamps along the top and middle portion of the panel using the same inks.  

Next, I stamped out my squirrels, nuts and leaves from the Squirrel Friends Stamps. I colored them with Copic markers and then die cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added little white gel pen dots on their eyes to make them look that much more adorable!

Then, I grabbed the Pumpkin Patch Dies. These dies are so versatile, I've used them SO many times!  For this card, I cut each piece of the pumpkins two times. This gives me 6 pumpkins total to play with! I used Copic markers to color each one, making them all unique! I glued each piece of the pumpkin together with liquid glue.  

For my sentiment, I grabbed the Autumn Garland Stamps. I stamped the "GREETINGS" directly onto my card panel in black ink. For the "Autumn" piece, I stamped it with embossing glue ink on black cardstock, applied white embossing powder, and then melted the powder with a heat tool. I die cut it out with the coordinating die and put 3D foam tape behind it.

The next step was to assemble the card! I adhered each component to the card front with either liquid glue (for the background pieces) or 3D foam squares for the foreground elements.

Hope you enjoyed this card and THANK YOU for coming to the Sunny Studio Blog today!

Autumn Garland Card with Alma

Hi, this is Alma, and I'm back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog. Today I want to share a card with you using the amazing and dreamy new stamp set Autumn Garland Stamps.

First of alI  I stamped and colored the stamps, then I die-cut it with the Nutty for You Dies.

After that, I adhered the top of the acorn with foam tape to create a 3D effect. I blended the background with the "Distress Oxides" in the colors "prize ribbon" and "chipped sapphire" and added white water splatters. 

As a highlight, I colored the Squirrel Friends Stamps and placed them as the focal point on the card.

Wishing you all a lovely Tuesday!

Truckloads of Love Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, Tina here featuring the fun and versatile Truckloads of Love stamp and die set! I love that this set can be used for so many occasions throughout the whole year. For my card today, I am creating a sweet Fall scene with the adorable Squirrel Friends! They are busy loading their truck with lots of pumpkins.

Creating a full scene card can be intimidating for me and it helps if I build up my design using shape dies. For my background I cut a panel from white Neenah paper using the new Dotted Diamond cover die in landscape. It gives that extra subtle touch and doesn’t distract from the focal point! I used the outer die of the Frilly Frames Stripes to create the scalloped border.

Next, I cut the two largest of the Stitched Semi Circles dies from the same white card stock. I kept the largest one plain white and inked up the smaller one with Distress Oxides in Antique Linen, Scattered Straw and Saltwater Taffy. After splattering some water droplets for extra interest, I glued both semi circles directly to the white card panel. Then, I adhered this panel to a red card base.

I stamped and die cut all the cute squirrels, truck and pumpkins (Squirrel Friends, Truckloads of Love stamp) and colored them with my Copics. As always, I added some highlights with my white gel pen, it really makes a difference! To complete the scene, I cut and colored the tree and leaves from the Autumn Tree die. This tree is great to use in any of your Fall scene cards!

Finally, I arranged all my images and glued them in place, using foam tape were needed for dimension. The combined sentiment from the Truckloads of Love stamp was stamped onto a small white banner and added to the right upper corner. To embellish the card I sprinkled a few gems from the Chrystal Clear Jewels around the sentiment. 

And that finishes my card for today, I hope you will have fun creating with this amazing new set! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Garden Critters Cards with Kavya

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog with some fun inspiration using this quarter's release. I absolutely love Spring and Mendi did an awesome job of designing products that pair well with products that were previously released :) 

For my first card, I tried creating a garden scene filled with adorable critters. I started off by ink blending my background using blue and yellow dye ink. For the grass, I used some green ink blended green cardstock. 

I then stamped and colored a bunch of images from Garden Critters stamp, Pink Peonies, Squirrel Friends, Fall Friends and Spring Showers stamp set. 

For my second card, I created a scene depicting a warm autumn afternoon where I am spending my time staring out my bedroom window! I started off by ink bending the brick background using a generic stencil and added some diecut grass at the bottom. 

I then stamped and colored a bunch of images from Garden Critters stamp, A Bird's Life and Kiddie Pool stamp sets. I created the window using Wonderful Windows Dies and added some extra dimension to the windows using a copic markers. 

That's it and I am done! I loved how both these cards turned out and decided to skip the sentiments so that I can use them for any occasion. 

I hope you liked these projects! Happy crafting!

Fall Scenes Cards with Vanessa and Tina

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a little card set using Fall Scenes.

I first created the card bases with the Mini Mat + Tag 1 dies and the background with the Stitched Rectangle dies. After I had inked the panels with Dried Marigold Distress Oxide ink, I stamped all my images onto white cardstock, colored them with Copic markers, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered the pieces to my cards, popping up some images with foam tape. Finally, I stamped the sentiments onto the cards.

Today I combined these sets:

Fall Scenes stamps + dies
Happy Harvests stamps + dies
Harvest Mice stamps + dies
Mini Mat + Tag 1 dies
Stitched Rectangle dies

Have a lovely weekend!

-----------------------------------------

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina and today I am creating a birthday card with the new Fall Scenes stamp and die set. Having the die to cut the scene makes it so easy to assemble your background! This card also consists of a lot of layers, generating depth and dimension.

First, I die cut an oval shape from white cardstock with the largest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 dies. To turn this oval into a frame I used another slightly smaller oval die from my stash. This second oval will become the background panel for my scene, I ink blended the sky part with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide. Next, I cut two grassy borders and used some Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawns Oxides for the coloring.

Then it was time to stamp and die cut all the images for my Autumn scene. There was a lot of mixing and matching between several sets! I used the large tree and fence from Fall Scenes, the sweet girl from Fall Kiddos, the squirrels and leaves from Squirrel Friends, some pumpkins from Fall Friends and Too Cute To Spook (also the cute little spider!), and finally the mushrooms from Woodsy Autumn.

I absolutely love going through my stamps and see which ones go well together, so helpful when you want to assemble a sweet scene. I used my trusty Copic markers for the coloring and added some white highlights to the images with a gel pen. For the sentiment, I stamped the ‘Happy Birthday’ from the Squirrel Friends set onto a small white banner.

Time to assemble this card! To make things a little easier, I die cut another large oval from white cardstock with the largest of the Scalloped Oval Mat 1 dies. I added thick foam tape to the oval frame and adhered it to the oval mat. Next, I added the inked oval, which fitted into the frame like a puzzle piece.

Now, I could start building the layers by gluing the tree and fence directly to the small oval, then I added two layers of grassy borders and finally all my images scattered over the scene. The sentiment banner and a few leaves, as embellishment, finished the layered frame.

All that was left was to create a background panel, for which I selected a vibrant orange gingham paper from the new Critter Country paper pad and added that to an A2 size card base. Finally, I glued the oval scene onto the card with some liquid glue.

I hope you like this sweet card and got inspired to try some mixing and matching! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
