Stitched Arch Die Focused Card with Amanda

Hey crafters! It’s Amanda here! Today, I’m sharing this fun summer card and how I made it! Keep reading to see all the products I used, Copic markers, and how I put it all together!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Stitched Arch Die Focused Summer Card by Amanda Fitterer (featuring Catch A Wave Dies, Kiddie Pool, Ocean View)

The first step to creating this card is to trim a piece of white cardstock to 4.25”x5.5”. Next, using some low tack tape, secure the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies in the center of the panel. Set this panel aside for later.

Next, grab 2 pieces of blue or teal cardstock for the waves. Using the Catch a Wave Dies, create 2 waves that are approximately 4” wide. Glue the waves together and then place foam tape behind them.

On an A2 card base, glue a piece of red cardstock directly to the front of it. Then, attach your waves with the foam tape. Place foam tape only on the upper portion of the arch panel.  Put glue on the bottom portion where it touches the waves. This will keep the arch panel level.

Grab your Ocean View and Kiddie Pool Stamp Sets, a MISTI or stamping platform, and alcohol marker-friendly black ink. Stamp the images with the black ink and then get your Copic markers ready!

Here are the Copic marker colors I used to color this scene:

Girl:
Hair: E53, E55, E57, E59
Skin: E00, E11, E13
Mouth: R37, R59
Suit: RV23, RV25, RV29
Goggles: B02, B06 (B21 for the lenses)

Crab: RV23, RV25, Rv29, R46

Rocks: N4, N5, N6, N8

Plants & Shell: 
YR000, YR12, YR15, YR16, YR18
Y32, Y35, Y38
E00, E13
BG11, BG13, BG15

Once coloring is complete, trim the images out with the coordinating dies or fussy cut them with scissors. Add some white highlights and dots with a white Gelly Roll pen.

On a small piece of black cardstock, stamp the sentiment with a WOW embossing pad, apply white embossing powder, and then melt the powder with a heat tool. Trim the sentiment into a strip and then create a flag/banner edge with scissors.

Glue the rocks and plants directly to the waves, having the edges poke out in front of the arch. Then, put 3D foam squares behind the girl, crab, shell, and sentiment strip and add them to the scene. Finally, glue a few of the Clear Jewels around the card to complete the card!

What a fun layout for a card using that Stitched Arch Die! I hope you enjoyed reading about this card! Come back tomorrow for more crafty inspo!

Puppy Parents Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it is Tina and today I am creating a sweet card for my husband, who is an incredible Dad and also a dog lover. Our two dogs Mira and Lena bring so much love and joy in our lives. When I saw the Puppy Parents stamp and die set, I knew it would be perfect for this project!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Puppy Parents Father's Day Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Sprawling Surfaces, Fancy Frame Dies, Stitched Arch Dies, Brilliant Banner Dies)

Of course, I selected the two fluffiest doggies of this adorable bunch since they look just like ours. To set the scene, I also stamped the sweet doghouse, a few balls, the food bowl, and some bones.

After creating a simple white card base, I die cut all the layers for this card. Starting with the white frame (largest of the Fancy Frames Rectangle dies), I backed this frame with a sheet of pink striped paper (Dots & Stripes Pastels) and finally I cut a white arched panel (Stitched Arch dies).

This last piece will become the base for my scene. First, I stamped a cobblestone border (Sprawling Surfaces). Next, I masked off this part of the panel with some Post-It tape and added a pink cloudy sky with a stencil from my stash and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide.

I pulled out my Copic Markers and colored all the images as well as the stone border. But when I did a try-out of the scene and put the dogs in place, it felt a bit busy. A piece of vellum is a good option to soften a busy background. Die cutting with the Stitched Arch again gave me the perfect vellum layer. I used a tape runner for vellum to attach this layer to the background and felt much happier with the design!

The arched shape of the Brilliant Banner 4 die was a perfect match for the scene, my Misti worked great to curve the combined sentiment from the Puppy Parents stamp (the red ink was pulled from my stash).  As a final embellishment, I added a few Pink Spinel Jewels.

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

Summer Jar Mug Card with Amanda

Hey crafty friends! It’s Amanda back here on the Sunny Studio Blog today! Thanks for coming by and getting crafty with me! Today, I am sharing this Summer Vibes card! I cannot WAIT for summer to get here, how about you!?

Sunny Studio Stamps: Summer Jar Mug & Fresh Lemon Card by Amanda Fitterer (featuring Stitched Arch Dies)

To create this card, I trimmed a piece of the bright and cheery Summer Splash Paper to 4”x5.25”. I glued this paper to an A2 card base. Next, I cut out the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies in white cardstock. I ink blended a very small amount of Catherine Pooler Melon Ice ink in the center of the arch. I applied some 3D foam strips behind the arch and then adhered it to my card front.

I die cut the Fresh Lemon Dies and the Summer Jar Mug Dies out of white cardstock. First, I used some Glossy Accent on the 3 little ice cubes to make them look like real cubes! I set those aside, as they will take some time to dry.

Next, I ink blended some of the Catherine Pooler Pebble ink on the jar mug front piece. On the back piece of the jar mug, I ink blended a bit of Chiffon ink towards the bottom. For the lemons, I ink blended Chiffon and Limoncello inks to get a 3D look to them. For the straw and umbrella, I used Melon Ice ink. Then, on the umbrella, I also created dimension using some green Copic markers.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Summer Jar Mug & Fresh Lemon Card by Amanda Fitterer (featuring Stitched Arch Dies)

I put 3D foam squares behind the mug and lemon and then attached it to my arch. I used glue to adhere the straw, ice cubes, lemon wedges and umbrella.

I stamped the “Summer Vibes” sentiment stamps from the Beach Bus Stamps on black cardstock with a WOW! Embossing ink pad. I applied some white embossing powder to it and then melted the powder using my heat tool. I die cut the “Summer” out with the coordinating dies. I used a paper trimmer to cut out the “Vibes” sentiment. I put 3D foam strips behind the sentiment and attached them to my card. To add a little bit of sparkle and fun, I added a few of the Iridescent Clear Jewels!

This card just screams “summer!” and I’m loving it! Thanks for stopping by the Sunny Studio Blog today!

Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and although not often, it does happen that I forget to send a birthday card. Those are the times when the Inside Greetings Belated Birthday stamp set comes to the rescue! In this instance, I stamped a shorter sentiment from the set onto a white banner and put it on the outside of my card.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Balloon Rides, Stitched Arch Dies, Lots of Dots Embossing Folder)

I wanted to go for a ‘relatable scene’ and since hot air balloons travel slow, it would be the perfect match for the sentiment!

After creating a white card base, I die cut a panel from white card stock with the outer die from Frilly Frames Retro Petals. To create a ‘sky scene’, I transformed this piece into an arched frame (largest of the Stitched Arched dies). Next step was to dry emboss this frame with the Lots of Dots folder. I love that extra layer of detail!

I still had the inner arched piece of white card stock left and this will be become my sky by inking it with a light blue ink from my stash. Next, I cut two layers of white clouds.

After selecting the hot air balloon, the koala and three clouds from the Balloon Rides set, I started the coloring with my trusty Copic markers and a white gel pen for added details.

I assembled the different layers of this card, by gluing the cloud borders to the back of the frame. Next, I placed the arched piece, which fitted in like a puzzle piece! I held all these elements together with some tape on the back before I mounted everything to the card base.

I tucked the balloon and his cute passenger between the puffy borders, added the separate clouds and finally placed the sentiment banner. Adding a few Pastel Jewels finishes this sweet project.

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Season's Greetings Holiday Gift Tags with Leanne

Hello friends! Leanne here and I'm sharing some Christmas tags today. I've combined some pretty holiday paper with a big Merry Christmas greeting for these festive tags. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Seaon's Greetings Holiday Gift Tags by Leanne West (featuring Stitched Arch Dies, Woolen Mitten Dies, Brilliant Banner Dies, Inside Greetings Seasons)

Below are all the Sunny Studio supplies needed to recreate these tags.

Joyful Holiday paper pad - Patterned paper used for tag base.

Stitched Arch dies - I used the largest die in the set to cut out the tag base. I then punched a whole at the top with 1/4" paper punch. 

Season's Greetings stamp set companion dies - For the large Merry Christmas. The pink ones have been stamped with Catherine Pooler Party Dress ink. The red is CP Rouge ink. 

Woolen Mitten dies - For the holly leaves. 

Brilliant Banner 3 die - For the white banner I stamped to/from on.

Inside Greetings Seasons stamp set - For the to & from.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Seaon's Greetings Holiday Gift Tags by Leanne West (featuring Stitched Arch Dies, Woolen Mitten Dies, Brilliant Banner Dies, Inside Greetings Seasons)

To make the tags extra special, I added a little clay peppermint piece to the holly leaves and tied a jingle bell to the ribbon. The finished tag with ribbon measures 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide. 

One time saving tip I wanted to pass along...  when you need many of the stamped and die cut Merry Christmas words, die cut several blanks first with the companion die. Then use the negative die cut in a Misti to line up the stamp in that negative space. Close the Misti lid to pick up the stamp and place a blank die cut Merry Christmas piece into that opening. Stamp as you normally would, repeating the process with all the blanks.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Snowmen In Sweaters Card by Tammy Stark

Hi friends, Tammy Stark here with you today! I'm so excited to be guest designing with Sunny Studio for the holidays! The holiday release is full of adorableness with something for everyone! I created a card using one of my favorite sets, Snowmen in Sweaters. I love everything snowmen, so this will be a set I reach for year after year!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Snowmen In Sweaters Winter Themed Holiday Card by Tammy Stark (featuring Stitched Arch Dies, Buffalo Plaid Dies, Lacy Snowflake Dies)

To begin, I stamped Snowmen in Sweaterscolored with Copic markers, and die cut the images with the Snowmen in Sweaters Dies. I just love the big, bold sentiment, which was stamped in a vibrant red ink. I wanted to create a fun snow globe scene, so I used the largest die from the Stitched Arch Dies to create the snow globe base. I lightly inked it with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink, then attached the stamped images with foam tape. I splattered white acrylic paint onto the snow globe scene to create a super snowy effect. I then cut a thin rectangle from kraft paper to create the snow globe base.

Next, I cut a piece of pink cardstock, just slightly smaller than A2 size and embossed it with the Buffalo Plaid Straight Die. I just love the subtle effect and dimension the Buffalo Plaid die gives to the background! I then attached the pink embossed background to a white A2 base, then adhered the snow globe using foam tape for dimension.

Lastly, I added some white snowflakes, die cut using the Lacy Snowflake Dies and Snowflake Circle Frame Die to complete my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Happy Holidays to you all!!
