Happy Howl-o-ween Card with Tina

Hi there crafty friends, Tina here and we are continuing the fun Halloween vibes with this project featuring a cute dog from the Happy Howl-o-ween stamp and die set. I love how well these images work with the Bewitching and Too Cute To Spook products. So that is exactly what we are doing today, mixing and matching sets to create a unique scene.

After creating a white square card base, I cut a slightly smaller white panel, selected a plaid stencil from my stash and inked it up with Wilted Violet Distress Oxide. Our focal point consists of a large circle (Stiched Circles Large). I created this shape two times. One of them was colored with Black Soot Distress Oxide and turned into a grass border with a die from my stash. For the other piece, I cut a smaller circle and used it as a mask for my moon shape. With the mask in place (I used removable adhesive) I inked the entire large circle with the same Wilted Violet Distress Oxide that we used for the card base. I did go over the circle multiple times to darken the tone.

Next, I gently removed the mask and added color to the ‘moon’ (Squeezed Lemon and Spiced Marmalade oxides). After selecting the images from Happy Howl-o-ween, Bewitching and Too Cute To Spook, I colored them with my Copics, adding white highlights with a gel pen. Before assembling the scene, I needed to stamp the sentiment (Too Cute To Spook) directly to the focal panel with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

To create the card, I glued the large purple circle directly to the plaid background panel. Next, I mounted the grass border with foam tape, so I could tuck in the house, a pumpkin and the broom. I completed the scene by adding the cute dog, his cauldron and the other pumpkins. Lastly, I added some sparkle with a few Lavender Quartz Jewels.

I loved combining all these amazing sets and I hope you got inspired by this sweet scene. Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

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!

Elegant Leaves Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am sharing my first autumnal card of the season! As we are slowly transitioning into those cozy Fall vibes, I just love the rich vibrant colors nature brings us. As most crafters I am always in need of birthday cards, and I struggle with male cards. So, I came up with this fun design, perfect for those Autumn birthdays!

After creating a white card base, I cut a white panel with the outer die of the Frilly Frames Stripes die. Next, I selected two scraps of white card stock and ran them both through the machine with the same die.

The large white scalloped panel got further embellished with the inner die of the Frilly Frames Retro Petals set. I love how all these ‘Frilly’ dies can be combined to create endless new designs! I kept all the inner pieces in place with a sheet of Press ‘n Seal (a great item to have in your stash!) and glued the panel to the card base.

The other two white scalloped scrap pieces were turned into nice borders by using one of the Ribbon & Lace Border dies. To create more contrast, I colored them both in a teal color with the ink to paper technique (just pull the ink pad across the paper a few times). I love how this not only gave the borders a nice color but also a kind of velvety look! Next, I glued both pieces to the top and bottom of the white embossed panel.

I then stamped a beautiful leave (Elegant Leaves) in four Fall colors and used the matching die to cut them out. Together they create a beautiful wreath, I added a white circle on top (Stitched Circles Large) with a sentiment from the Party Pets set. To complete the design, I glued a few Pure White Jewels across the wreath.

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Penguin Party Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun birthday card to celebrate Sunny Studio Stamps' 10th Birthday. Sunny Studio has so many adorable critters but one of my favorites has always been the super cute penguins. My card today features penguins from the Passionate Penguins and Penguin Party sets. These two sets mix and match beautifully with one another. 

I stamped the penguin images from the Passionate Penguins Stamps and Penguin Party Stamps, the balloon and party hat images from Party Pets Stamps, the little gift from the Foxy Friends Stamps and the banner and cupcake from the Panda Party Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Passionate Penguins Dies, Penguin Party Dies, Party Pets Dies, Foxy Friends Dies and Panda Party Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7, Y38 YR04, W00/1, R00/20
Pink: RV000/10/13/14
White: C00/1/3

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. Using this panel as a guide, I ink blended Spun Sugar and Mowed Lawn 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 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.

Beach Buddies & Beach Babies Rainbow Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi, popping in to share some rainbow-striped summer cards featuring our Beach Buddies Stamps. For both cards, I used Daniel Smith Watercolors to paint semi-blended rainbow stripes onto watercolor paper to create handmade backgrounds. I didn't add too much water because I wanted to have my colors remain really vibrant.

For my first card's background, I die-cut my rainbow watercolored panel using our Frilly Frames Hexagon Dies. I then formed two small scenes using the images from our Beach Buddies Stamps, which I backed each grouping with a white die-cut circle from our Stitched Circle Small Dies. I grounded each scene with a shortened black pennant strip from our Notebook Photo Corners Dies and heat-embossed them using the "Hello Sunshine" and "Happy Summer" greetings from our Beach Babies Stamps.

For my second card, I once again used one of the rainbow-striped backgrounds I painted and trimmed down the panel using our Stitched Rectangle Dies. This time, I lined up three circles across my landscape-oriented card using our Stitched Circle Large Dies. In the center of each circle, I added the panda bear, dog, and bunny onto a summer floatie with accessories from the Beach Buddies Stamps like the heart sunglasses and snorkle mask. For my greeting, I elongated the stitched Pennant from the Stitched Rectangle Dies by running it through my die-cutting machine twice with part of the die hanging off the cutting plate, but you could also shorten a similar pennant from our Slimline Pennant Dies. 

Lastly, I heat-embossed the greeting "It's Your Day ❤ Make a Splash" from our Beach Babies Stamps using white embossing powder and clear VersaMark Ink. I added the small white heart between the two phrases as a doodle using a white Sharpie paint pen because I was too lazy to look for one of our stamp sets featuring a tiny heart (although I know they exist).

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today. 😊
