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!?

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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!

To begin, I stamped Snowmen in Sweaters, colored 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!!

Let's Chill Card with Tina: Black Friday Exclusive!

Hello crafters, it is Tina with a cute Holiday card in which the two adorable seals from Let’s Chill are the stars of the show! This set is a Black Friday gift, with purchase exclusive and it is not for sale.

My design is a shaped card using the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies. After cutting a panel from white card stock, I used the same die to create my card base. For a bold and dramatic background I blended Broken China and Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxides and I was pleasantly surprised to see how well they work together! I splattered the panel with water and white paint and put it aside to dry.

Next, I stamped and cut the two cute seals and also two ice blocks (Bear Hugs, Winter Scenes) for them to sit on. As usual, I colored with my Copics and added white gel pen accents.

My sentiment is a large ‘Merry Christmas’ from the Holiday Greetings stamp and die set. I love the scripty font and also the size, it fills the complete sky portion of this card. After putting the seals in place with foam tape, I adhered the sentiment (I cut three layers and glued them together for dimension).

To add extra icy elements, I sprinkled white snowflakes across the scene. These were cut with an all-time favorite die (Snowflake Circle Frame) which I use a lot in my Christmas card making. I glued some Iridescent Clear Jewels to center of the snowflakes for that extra festive bling!

This card was so fun to make, and I hope it inspired you to create a project with this sweet set! Happy crafting!

Let's Chill Card with Leanne: Black Friday Exclusive!

Hi everyone! Leanne here and I'm sharing a fun shaker card today. My card features some adorable images from the Black Friday gift with purchase exclusive stamp set, Let's Chill. I pulled out some older stamp and die sets along with the Let's Chill set to create this little winter scene and shaker window. All are listed below with a description of how they were used. 

Let's Chill Stamp Set & coordinating dies - For the seal and heart images plus "let's chill" sentiment

Lovey Dovey Stamp Set & coordinating dies - For the "you're my favorite" sentiment

Stitched Arch Die - I used the largest die in the set to create the shaker window. 

Joyful Holiday Paper Pack - The colorful polka dot pattern paper made a fun frame for my scene. 

I created the shaker part in the tradition way by adhering a piece of clear acetate behind the frame for the window and building a shaker well with thick foam tape strips. I filled the shaker with some iridescent heart confetti and snowflake sequins. 

Copics: R00, R30, RV11, RV13, T0, T2, C0, C1, C3, C5

I Copic colored the stamped images (colors used listed above). I created a little snow bank for the seals sit on with the same Stitched Arch Die used for the shaker window. I stamped "let's chill" onto the snow bank. I added the seals, hearts, and "you're my favorite" with thin foam squares so they would be popped up a bit. Lastly I adhered my completed shaker scene to an A2 size card base.
