Strawberry Patch Card with Hahn

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a sweet birthday card to share with you featuring the absolutely adorable mice from Harvest Mice, the Strawberry Patch Dies and the Build-a-Bowl Dies.

I used the Strawberry Patch Dies to die cut several strawberries and leaves out of Bristol Smooth white cardstock. Then I used the Strawberry Patch Dies again and the Build-a-Bowl Dies to diecut a few flowers and the bowl out of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock. Abandoned Coral, Candied Apple, Fired Brick, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress inks were used to "color" the strawberries and leaves. A Copic marker (Y08) was used to color the center of the flowers. I assembled the strawberries and adhered all but two inside the bowl.

I stamped the images from the Harvest Mice Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Harvest Mice Dies to die cut them out. I also die cut the letters for the word SWEET out of white cardstock twice using the Chloe Alphabet Dies. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen. The letters from the word SWEET were layered and adhered to each other with liquid adhesive.

COPIC COLORS:
Mice: E50/51/53/33, R000/30, R20, W5
Wagon: BG10/11/13/15, C0/1, T7
SWEET: R22/24

For the background, I die cut another piece of Neenah white cardstock with the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I lightly inked the center with some Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks to add a bit of color to the background. Once dry, I added a few dots with a Copic marker (RV10) for a bit of interest.

For the sentiment, I stamped the "wishing you a" and "birthday" part of the sentiment from the Panda Party Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the inked panel. I adhered the SWEET letters onto the inked panel with liquid adhesive. A white gel pen was used to add some highlights to the letters.  

Next, I adhered the bowl of strawberries onto the panel. The mice, wagon and the final 2 strawberries were adhered to the panel with some foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. I adhered a piece of craft foam to the back of the panel before adhering it to a piece of red cardstock and a white A2 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.

Strawberry Patch Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, live from my Strawberry Patch! I picked some bright and juicy strawberries, put them all in my Build A Bowl colander, and now I'm heading to the kitchen to cook them into jam and pies.

I started by creating the background using pattern papers along with the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die. For the sky, I picked a paper from the Summer Splash pack. I added a little bit of salty ocean distress ink to the edges, mixed that same distress ink with water, added blue splatters to my cloudy panel using a slim brush, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. For the grass, I picked a paper from the Dots & Stripes Pastels pack and cut a border using a die from the Picket Fence Border die set. I applied mowed lawn distress ink to the edges of the grass border, mixed that same ink with water, added green splatters to the grass border, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

To add more interest to my little scene, I cut a Picket FenceBorder out of white woodgrain cardstock, added pumice stone distress ink at the top of each pointy plank and texture using the same ink, and then white splatters.

While my pieces of paper were drying, I cut the elements out of textured grey cardstock to create a colander using the Build A Bowl die set. I added hickory smoke distress ink to the edges of each piece, as well as white splatters, and then glued them all to assemble my colander. I also created a bunch of strawberries using the Strawberry Patch die set. I used matching distress inks to add more depth to each element, added white splatters and then set everything aside to dry.

I stamped my "I couldn't ask for a sweeter friend" sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings stamp set at the very top of my cloudy panel, and next I assembled the background. First I attached the cloud panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel using 1mm foam tape. I stuck the grass border using 1mm foam tape as well, and then attached the fence using liquid glue, tucking the bottom parts right behind the grass sprigs.

I filled the inside of the colander with strawberries and leaves using liquid glue, added more on top using foam squares, and then attached the colander to my panel using foam squares again. I added a couple more strawberries and leaves on both sides of the colander, and finally attached my panel to a white card base. 

And that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week.

Summer Fruit-Themed Dies 4-Card Set with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fruit-themed cards for Summer using a variety of dies and our Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps. Once again for all four of my cards, I stuck with a single design which I repeated, changing only the images, patterned papers, and the different greetings from the same stamp set.

Card No.1: My first card focuses on the strawberries, blossoms, and leaves from the Strawberry Patch Dies. For all of my cards today, I started by die-cutting a white scalloped panel 5-1/2" x 3-5/8" using the lacy edge die from our Slimline Pennant Dies set. I then added a stitched strip from Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I had in my head that I wanted to add a ribbon bow without any bulk, but Sunny Studio doesn't have a die like this already in our line-up so I borrowed one from another company that was just the right size to match using Lawn Fawn's Platform Pop-up Dies. I added a diagonal green striped print from our Sleek Stripes Paper pack along the bottom of my card and stamped a sweet greeting to match my card's scene using our Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

Card No. 2: My second card combines the lemon slices from the Fresh Lemon Dies, the Strawberries from the Strawberry Patch Dies, and the cherries from the Wild Cherry Dies. This time I switched out the patterned paper to match my lemon for a yellow gingham print from our Gingham Pastel Paper pack.

Card No. 3: For my next card I focused on using both seed variations from our Juicy Watermelon Dies, switching out my bow for a green one this time and opting for a red striped print from our Sleek Stripes Paper pack. I can't get enough of these fresh colors for summer! This card reminds me of one of my daughter's favorite Gymboree tops from way back when.

Card No. 4: Lastly, I have a card combining lemons and limes from our Fresh Lemon Dies with the wired basket from our Build-a-Bowl Dies. I added a coral-colored bow to match the one grapefruit citrus slice and a yellow striped patterned paper from our Sleek Stripes Paper pack. This particular scene took up more space than the others in my set, so I added a stacked sentiment "sending you a big squeeze" in the top right corner instead of all lined up below the scene like I did for my other cards.

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.💛

Strawberry Patch Die Focused Card with Nicky

Hello there, this is Nicky with you today on the blog and I'm sharing a circular card, featuring our Strawberry Patch Dies, that was inspired by a photo I saw online of a cake decorated with fresh strawberries including the leaves and flowers.

To create this card I die cut two large circles of white cardstock which would form the front and back of my card base. With the back panel, I cut a sliver off at what would be the bottom so that it would stand up without rolling around when it was being displayed and at the top I scored a line that would form a 'hinge' and above the line I added ScorPal tape and then adhered the front and back panels together.

I did some soft ink blending on the front panel using Blush Pink ink by The Stamp Market. I splattered on some water and blotted it up then dotted in a little interest with Copic markers just to distress it a little.

I used the Strawberry Patch Dies to die cut sturdy white cardstock and made a juicy pile of strawberries by ink blending the parts. I used Lipstick Red and Gumdrop by The Stamp Market to blend. I then began building a 'wreath' of strawberries and their leaves around the edge of the 'cake' that I had been inspired by.  Building and gluing until I had gone all the way around and then for balance I tucked in the odd extra leaf or two and then added the little flowers.

To finish it up I grabbed the Punny Fruit Greetings stamp set and some black sentiment strips. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark Ink and heat embossed in white and added these strips to the centre of the cake using dimensional foam tape.

Last but not least, I stamped around the sentiments using 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation impressions of the little heart included in the sentiment stamp set and the same Lipstick Red ink I had blended the strawberries with. Card done! Slice of cake anyone?

Thanks for reading the blog today and I'll see you next Friday with something new.

Summer Jar Mug Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here to share a friendship card featuring the Summer Jar Mug. I have made the jar mug into a shaker for this card and I've colored plus filled it to look like a refreshing cup full of pink lemonade. 

Here's a list of the Sunny Studio products you'll need to create this A2 card design: 

Summer Jar Mug dies - for the mug, straw, and tiny lemon slice die cuts 
Scalloped Oval Mat 3 dies - for the scalloped oval mat
Punny Fruit Greetings -  for the stamped words "friends make life" 
Sweet Word die -  for the die cut word "sweet"
Strawberry Patch dies - for the tiny flower die cut
Classic Gingham Paper - for the gingham background mat

The Sweet Word die is retired but if you don't have it you can use alphabet dies to spell out the word. The Hayley Upper Case or Chloe Alphabet dies would work great! 

To make this jar mug into a fun shaker, I have adhered several layers of the jar mug frame together. I die cut one solid mug shape for the back and 5 layers of the open mug frame to make it thick enough to allow for the shaker bits to move around freely. I filled the shaker well with tiny pink balls and iridescent confetti bits. I then adhered clear acetate and one final mug frame piece over top. The back solid piece and top frame piece were lightly colored with pink ink prior to assembly to enhance the pink lemonade look. 

When adhering the jar mug frame layers together to build up the shaker well, be sure to include the straw in between two layers toward the back. I forgot to do this and after I had my shaker completely assembled, I had to cut a small slit in the back to slide the straw inside the mug.
