Merry Mice & Harvest Mice Love-Themed Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm back one last time on the blog with this colorful and fun Valentine card featuring a big mix and match of stamps and dies. My journey with Sunny Studio ends today, after almost five amazing years full of bright colors, cute critters and busy little scenes. I used the mice on many cards and created a lot of scenes with them, so I had to feature them one last time as a nod to my time on Sunny Studio's design team.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them all with the matching dies and colored everything with my Ohuhu markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Merry Mice + Harvest Mice - mice • Bighearted Bears - envelopes, bows • Heart Bouquet - balloons. When the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

Next I worked on all the panels to create the background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches aqua panel, mixed some liquid stardust with water and added sparkling splatters to my panel using a slim brush. While my panel was drying, I cut a Bursting Hearts panel out of turquoise cardstock, added sparkling splatters and white splatters to it, and once dry, I attached it to the aqua panel using 1mm foam squares, and then to a white card base.

For the heart-shaped panel, I first cut a large Stitched Heart 2 panel out of light pink cardstock, ran it through my die cutting machine along with the Quilted Heart Portrait die to cut tiny hearts out of it, and then added splatters to my pink heart. I cut another large Stitched Heart 2 panel out of white cardstock and stuck the pink heart panel on top using 1mm foam squares. I cut a large Scalloped Heart panel out of pearlescent vellum, attached my pink heart panel to it using liquid glue, and finally stuck my heart panel to the card base using 1mm foam squares.

Next I stamped "You are always in my heart" from My Heart on white cardstock using red dye ink, cut it with the matching die, and stuck it in the middle of my Stitched Heart 2 pink heart using 1mm foam squares. I attached the images on both sides of the heart using 2mm foam squares, and then added a scattering of hearts all over the card. I cut those hearts out of red cardstock using Stitched Hearts 2 dies, attached them using foam squares, and finally applied glossy accents on each of them to add more shine and sparkle to my card.

And that's it! Thanks for stopping by, and thank you so much guys for supporting me and my work during my Sunny Studio journey. Thank you Laura for being the greatest right-hand lady to Mendi and an amazing supportive friend, with the kindest words always. Thank you Mendi for asking me to join the team in August 2021, it's been an honor and so much fun to work for you and Sunny Studio. So many stamped and colored images to build the extra busy scenes I loved creating! It was a blast to be on this team among such amazingly talented crafters, and I look forward to seeing everyone's future projects with the upcoming release! Bye, and see you all someplace else.

Meow & Furever Cat Love-Themed Cards with Mendi

Hello there! I hope you had a lovely Christmas. This is Mendi popping in to share some love-themed cards for Valentine's Day featuring our adorable Meow & Furever Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Meow & Furever Stamps, I made the adorable cat peeking through the heart-shaped cutout in his newspaper the focal point. I used a sketch for this card, keeping my card design relatively clean and simple. I relied on the fun, bright striped paper from the Spring Sunburst Paper pack and layered die-cuts to add interest. I landed on this particular color palette and patterned paper because I had colored this tabby cat image years ago, and I was looking for a way to incorporate orange into a Valentine's Day card, which felt like a bit of a challenge.

For my background, I started by die-cutting the diagonal grid print from the Gingham Pastels Paper pack using the Fishtail Banner 2 Dies. I then stacked the Stitched Heart 2 Die, cut from Bazzill's swiss dot cardstock, with a white Scalloped Heart Die inked with a bit of Salty Ocean Distress ink in the center. Lastly, I heat-embossed the punny "Meow You Doin'?" phrase from the Meow & Furever set onto a blue Brilliant Banner 1 Die.

For my second card using the Meow & Furever Stamps, I created another cat love-themed card perfect for Valentine's Day! I had colored all of my cat images and red hearts many years ago, and I was determined to use every last piece for today's cards, so it was fun challenging myself to find the perfect way to use what I had. For this card, I started with a dark kraft cardstock base and layered a blue heart print from the Flirty Flowers Paper pack over the top, which had been die-cut using the largest banner from the Slimline Pennant Dies. I added four of the smallest dies from the Scalloped Square 1 Small Dies into a 2x2 grid and centered my kitties over the top of each of the squares. I completed my card by heat-embossing the greeting from the set onto a red Brilliant Banner 2 Die and sprinkling the five small red hearts like flat mail-friendly embellishments.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Passionate Penguins Valentine's Day Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today and I am so excited to share a sweet Valentine's Day card featuring these adorable images from the Passionate Penguins set. 

I stamped the images from the Passionate Penguins Stamp on a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Passionate Penguins Dies to die cut them out. I also used the Stitched Heart 2 Dies to die cut 3 hearts out of the same Neenah Solar White cardstock. I colored the images with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T4/5/7, Y38 YR04, W00/0/1, R000/20
Hearts: R14/24
Umbrella: R14/24/29/39, C1/3
Car: R14/24/29/39, C1, C1/3, Y11, W5, W7
Pink: RV10/21/13/14

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, third and fourth smallest dies from the Stitched Circle Large Dies. I used the Slimline Nature Borders Dies to die cut a piece of clear acetate to make my own cloud stencil. Next, with the windowed panel as a guide, I used my homemade cloud stencil, the Forest Trees Stencils and Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink to ink blend subtle backgrounds onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock in the location of those windows. 

For the sentiment, I die cut a banner using one of the banner dies from the Stitched Rectangles Dies out of red cardstock. I stamped the "Happy Valentine's Day" sentiment from the Foxy Friends Stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto the red banner and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. 

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