Sea You Soon Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you today and I have a fun birthday card to share showcasing the Sea You Soon set. Despite the small size of this stamp set, it is packed with cuteness and comes at an awesome price point. So let’s get started.

I stamped the images from the Sea You Soon Stamps and the clown fish, sea anenome and seaweeds from Best Fishes Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Sea You Soon Dies and Best Fishes Dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Octopus: V000/01,04/06, R20
Clown fish: Y17/38 YR04/07, R20
Yellow fish: Y11/13/15/19, R20
Shark: C00/0/1/3, R20
Sea anemone: RV10/21
Seaweed: YG01/03/25/17

For the background, I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and diecut two windows into it using the second and fourth largest dies from the Stitched Circle Large Dies. With the windowed panel as a guide, I ink blended Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock in the location of those windows. 

I used the bubble stamps from the Fintastic Friends Stamps set to stamp some bubbles directly onto the white windowed panel with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Have a jawsome birthday" sentiment from the Best Fishes Stamps set with Memento Tuxedo Black and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks directly onto the white windowed panel.

I adhered the two panels to each other using foam tape. I adhered the 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.

Best Fishes Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you today and I have a fun birthday tunnel shadow boxcard to share showcasing the Best Fishes set. I love dimensional cards and how they add an element of surprise for the recipient. So let’s get started.

I stamped the images from the Best Fishes Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Best Fishes Dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Puffer fish: Y11/13/15/19, R20
Clown fish: Y17/38 YR04/07, R20
Sharks: C00/0/1/3, R20
Crab/Lobster: R22/14/24/29
Hermit crab: R14/24, E51/53
Starfish: Y11/13/15/19, R20
Seaweed: YG01/03/25/17

For the shadow boxcard design, I took one piece of white cardstock (4.25” x 11”), one piece of light teal cardstock (5.25” x 4.25”) and one piece of dark teal cardstock (4.25” x 4.25”). 

I started with the long white cardstock (4.25” x 11”) and used a score board to score at the 1”, 5.25”, 6.25” and 10.5” marks to create 5 panels of 1”, 4.25”, 1”, 4.25” and 0.5” widths. I used the second largest die from the Stitched Circle Small Dies to diecut a circle window in the center of the first 4.25” square panel (the one in between the two 1” panels). I folded at each of the score lines. 

Next, I took the light teal cardstock (5.25” x 4.25”) and scored at the 0.5” mark from each of the long ends to create 3 panels of 0.5”, 4.25” and 0.5” widths. I used the third largest die from the Stitched Circle Small Dies to diecut a circle window in the center of the 4.25” square panel. I folded at the two score lines. 

I took the opportunity to add some decoration around the circle window by stamping the water droplet stamp from the Best Fishes Stamps set with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink onto the white cardstock. 

To assemble the shadow boxcard, I folded the white cardstock into a box. I adhered the light teal layer along one of its side panels to one of the side panels of the white boxcard. Then I adhered the dark teal panel to the inside of the back panel of the boxcard. I found it easiest to decorate the inside elements of the boxcard at this stage before I closed off the boxcard. Once I finished with the decoration, I adhered the final panels.

For the sentiment, I stamped the “best fishes” sentiment from the Best Fishes Stamps set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used a paper trimmer to trim out the sentiment. 

I finished adhering the colored images and sentiment to the outer part of the boxcard with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The final dimensions of the 3D shadow boxcard is 4.25” x 4.25” x 1”. I love that it can be flattened to fit into a standard A2 envelope for easy mailing. 

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. Be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and ideas. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

My Otter Half Card with Tina H

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and since it had been a while I decided to make a fun shaker card! The focal point of this project is an adorable couple from the My Otter Half stamp and die set.

For today’s card I made a white square card and added a teal layer cut from one of the Sweater Weather papers. Yes, this is a Fall themed paper pack but I feel the darker teal is a great match for my cute brown otters (also very snug and cozy, I made this card on a rainy day in Spring, hence the need to feel that way!).

After cutting the panel with the second largest of the Scalloped Square 1 Large dies, I created the shaker window with one of the Stitched Circle Small dies.

A piece of clear acetate slightly smaller than my teal piece was glued to the back with strong double sided tape. Next, I created the shaker well with thick strips of foam tape, I removed the protective backer first to add the tape as close as possible to the circle shape.

Now comes the fun part, which is filling the shaker with sequins in clear and teal colors. to close the shaker, I simply added a square piece of teal paper to back. I glued this whole piece to the card base with liquid glue.

My cute couple from the My Otter Half stamp was colored with Copic markers in shades of brown. The sentiment was taken from the Words Of Gratitude set and stamped on a scalloped white banner with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I placed this banner on the bottom edge of the shaker and added the cute couple so their tails overlap with the white sentiment strip. This connects the elements of this design in a fun way.  Of course this card needed a bit of bling so I sprinkled a few Aquamarine Jewels around the shaker frame.

This set is so cute and I am sure you will make the most adorable cards with these otters! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Radiant Plumeria Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I have a sweet summer themed card to share with you showcasing the Radiant Plumeria and Tropical Birds sets. 

I started by stamping the plumeria flowers and leaves from the Radiant Plumeria Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. These awesome layering stamps are labelled for ease of use. I highly recommend using a stamping tool for this type of stamp. It makes lining up the layers and restamping a breeze. 

For the plumeria, there is a total of 7 layers to create the depth and gradient of colors. I used all but two of the middle layers of the series in order to leave some white space on my petals. I used Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide inks. Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink was used for the leaves, For the plumeria leaves, I only used the first two layers of stamp and used Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink for both layers — stamping twice for the second layer to create a slightly darker border to the leaves. I used the coordinating Radiant Plumeria Dies to diecut them out.

Next, I stamped the images from the Tropical Birds Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Tropical Birds Dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Yellow Bird: Y11/13/15/19. Y17/38 YR04, R20, R22
Pink Bird: RV000/10/21/13/14, Y17/38 YR04, R20, R22

For the background, I ink blended a simple background with Tumbled Glass and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I added some dots with a white gel pen for a bit of interest. I used the second largest die from the Stitched Circle Large Dies to diecut a window into the center of a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock, I adhered the two panels together with foam tape. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Summer” and “Greetings” sentiments from the Radiant Plumeria Stamps with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink onto ta piece of white cardstock. I fussy cut out the “Summer” and used a paper trimmer to cut out the “Greetings”. 

The colored images and the sentiments were adhered to the panel with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”). I finished the card with a few Majestic Clear Confetti.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Gift Card Holders with Tammy Stark

Hello friends! Tammy here with a couple of fun onesie gift card holders, featuring the Bundle of Joy stamp set.

To begin, I stamped the images from the Bundle of Joy stamp set, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the coordinating Bundle of Joy dies. 

To create the onesie shape, I started with an A2 rectangle (measuring 4 1/4X 5 1/2") cut from the Flirty Flowers Paper. I freehand cut the shape, taking inspiration from the onesie in the Bundle Of Joy set, then used the Stitched Circle Small Dies to cut the neck and leg openings. I then traced it onto heavy white cardstock and cut it out to create the back of the gift card holder.

Next, I cut 2 white Scalloped Circles Mat 1, then layered a Stitched Small circle, cut from Bristol smooth cardstock. I ink blended one with pink ink and the other with light blue ink and adhered to the scalloped circles. I attached the scalloped circles onto the onesies using foam tape, then added the stamped images onto the circles. The sentiments were created using the Brilliant Banner 3 Die. I die cut the banners using coordinating cardstock, then stamped the sentiments from the Bundle of Joy set in black ink, and attached to the gift card holders with foam tape. Lastly. I glued the white cardstock to the patterned paper, making sure to only adhere the bottom and sides of the onesie to create a pocket. 

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope I inspired you to create a fun shaped card using dies, and a cute stamp set, of course!

Monkey Business Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I am thrilled to share a fun birthday card showcasing the adorable new Monkey Business set from the latest Summer Release! This super cute set has an array of the most adorable monkeys. My A2-sized card was not nearly big enough to feature all of them. And just for the record, I had the hardest time to deciding which monkeys to play with first as they are all so super cute! Which one is your favorite?

I stamped the images from the Monkey Business Stamps, some balloon and present images from the Party Pets Stamps and a present image from the Foxy Friends Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Monkey Business Dies, Party Pets Dies and the Foxy Friends Dies to die cut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Monkeys: E000/00/21/11/93, E33/35/99
Small bananas: Y11/13/15, E50
Pink: RV000/10/21/13/14
Yellow: Y000/11/13/15/19
Green: YG00/01/03/25

For the background, I used the circle dies from the Stitched Circle Small Dies as well as the Stitched Circled Large Dies to die cut three windows into a piece of white cardstock (4.25” x 5.5”). I used the panel as a guide to lightly ink blend a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock with some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink to place behind this window-panel. I adhered the two panels to each other with foam tape. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the Party Pets Stamps set with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink onto a piece of white cardstock and used the coordinating Party Pets Dies to die cut it out. 

A slim strip of patterned paper from the Spring Fever Paper pack was adhered to the left side of the panel to add a splash of color. The colored images were adhered to the panel with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. Finally, the panel was adhered to a white A2 card base (4.25” x 5.5”).
