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.

Sunny Studio Rainbow Watercolor Summer Cards using Beach Buddies & Babies Clear Craft Stamps & Stitched Circle Cutting Dies

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).

Sealiously Sweet Card by Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and we are ready for a fun beach day! How adorable are the cuties from the Sealiously Sweet stamp and die set! So let’s create a breezy summer card together by making a white card base which we’ll embellish with a striped stencil from my stash and some Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sealiously Sweet Summer Themed Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Catch A Wave Dies, Fancy Frame Dies, Stitched Circle Dies)

For the centerpiece, I cut two circles from white card stock with the outer of the Stitched Circles Large set. One of them will be my base to which I will glue the scene parts. To obtain these parts, I cut the second white circle in three using two of the Catch a Wave dies.

The bottom portion was turned into a sandy beach (Fossilized Amber and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide), for the waves and sky I used Prize Ribbon again (sky stencil from my stash). Some water splatters added lots of details to these pieces.

Next, I glued the three parts together onto the white circle we already made, and they fit like a little puzzle. I selected three adorable seals and a sun hat from the Sealiously Sweet stamp and colored them with my Copic markers. As always, I added some white details with a gel pen.

Then I took my time to figure out where I would place the seals so I had enough space left for my big sentiment (Beach Buddies) which I stamped directly to the sky portion with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Before mounting the seals, I did add a few splashes of ‘foam’ using a white pigment ink from my stash and a small blending brush. To really emphasize the scene I also adhered a double layer of a white circle border (Fancy Frames Circle dies). As a final embellishment, I sprinkled a few blue diamonds from the Bright Jewel mix.

I hope you got inspired by this fun summer card! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Fintastic Friends Shark Week Card Set with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some ocean-themed cards for summer using our Fintastic Friends Stamps, among several other sets.

Sunny Studio Ocean Circle Cards using Fintastic Friends, Best Fishes, & Sea You Soon Clear Craft Stamps & Metal Cutting Dies

For my first card featuring all the octopus, seahorse, jellyfish, and other ocean critters from our Fintastic Friends Stamps, I thought it would be fun to create giant bubbles using the negative space left behind using our Stitched Circle Small Dies and Stitched Circle Large Dies. You could also create a similar look with our Staggered Circle Dies. I then stamped the greeting from the set and added a number of the smaller bubble images as embellishments around the larger bubble window cutouts.

Sunny Studio Fish & Bubbles Punny Summer Card using Fintastic Friends & Best Fishes Clear Craft Stamps & Metal Cutting Dies

For my second card, I couldn't resist combining all the sharks from our Fintastic Friends StampsBest Fishes Stamps, and Sea You Soon Stamps together in one card to commemorate Shark Week. I wanted to create the look of portholes in a ship so I nested circles from our Stitched Circle Small Dies and Stitched Circle Large Dies, cutting them from metallic gold cardstock. I then lined them up on my glass mat and used the grid on the mat to mark off the spots with my Sharpie pen. I then used an X-acto knife to create small slits to slip in mini gold brads as the porthole rivets. I made sure to apply all the brads before adding the panel to my card front so the inside of my card would still be pretty. For my ship's "wall," I inked up a piece of woodgrain cardstock with Vintage Photo Distress ink and added a punny greeting from the Best Fishes Stamps, which I stamped onto our Brilliant Banner 3 Dies. I used a piece of ivory cardstock for my banner and inked it up with Antique Linen Distress Ink to make it feel like an old scroll. Lastly, I stamped some solid bubbles around the sharks using images from the Best Fishes set.

Hawaiian Hibiscus & Radiant Plumeria Tropical Flower Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some tropical flower cards featuring our Hawaiian Hibiscus Stamps and Radiant Plumeria Stamps.

Sunny Studio Tropical Flowers Floral Cards using Hawaiian Hibiscus & Radiant Plumeria Clear Craft Stamps & Metal Cutting Dies

My first card today showcases the beautiful Hawaiian Hibiscus Stamps. I stamped a number of these flowers in an assembly line, so I had many vibrant colors available to mix and match. Both of my cards today were inspired by a wood texture, so I embossed a piece of kraft paper using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. To emphasize the wonderful texture, I colored over the surface using a Vintage Photo Distress Crayon. Then I rubbed it in with a lightly damp cloth, being careful not to rub it into the background. I followed up, using a blending brush to add Vintage Photo distress ink over the entire piece. For my sentiment, I inked up another piece of kraft paper with the same distress ink, added a stitched edge with the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies, and heat-embossed the "Aloha" greeting from the Tiki Time Stamps.

My second card features the pretty Radiant Plumeria Stamps with a clean and simple design. I started by inking a subtle tone-on-tone overall background print using the Split Philodendron leaf image from the set with Gina K. Sandy Beach Ink on kraft cardstock. I had considered adding the additional layers for this set but favored the less busy look of the single layer. I had three Stitched Circle Die cuts leftover (from the card I shared HERE) that I wanted to put to good use, and I thought they would be perfect layered behind the tropical flowers with the wood texture of the cardstock. I completed my card with a sentiment from the set stamped with VersaFine Clair Acorn Ink and embellished with some Pink Ombre Pearls.

I am frequently asked which ink colors I used for my layered images. Some of these images were previously stamped using now-retired Colorbox inks; however, I spent considerable time trying to find the closest matches to share them here with you (from lightest to darkest).
