Sunflower Fields Card with Yan

Hey crafty friends! It's Yan here, and today I'm sharing a super cheerful sunflower card that is so much fun to make. If you love warm summer colors and cute buzzing bees, this project is for you!

​To kick things off, I stamped the sunflowers and leaves from the Sunflower Fields Stamp Set. For the sunflowers, I wanted rich depth and warmth, so I layered a gorgeous stamped of colors using Lemon Whip, Sweet Mustard, Clementine, and Gathered Twigs. For the leaves, I wanted a lush green contrast, so I stamped them with Fresh Pear, Grassy Knoll, and Olive. Once all the stamping was complete, I used the coordinating Sunflower Fields Dies to cut out all the elements. To bring the arrangement to life, I gently shaped the petals with my fingers before adhering everything in place!

​Next came the cutest details! I stamped the adorable bees and beehives from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamp onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, then colored them with Copic markers and die-cut them with the matching dies.

​COPIC COLORS USED:
Bees: B12, BG0000, C4, E44, R30, Y11, Y19
Beehives: Y00, Y11, Y19, YR65

​For the background, I ink-blended Distress Oxide inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, and Crushed Olive directly onto the card front for a bright, sunny glow. Once it was dry, I heat embossed the 'many thanks' sentiment directly onto the upper card front.

​To finish up, I arranged the vibrant sunflowers and leaves along the bottom, tucked the beehives in, and popped up the little honeybees using foam adhesive for extra dimension.

​And there you have it! A bright, cheerful thank you card to brighten anyone's day. Happy crafting, everyone!

Sweet As Can Bee Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you today and I have a fun little boxcard card to share showcasing the Sweet As Can Bee set. So let’s get started.

I stamped the images from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps set and a branch from the Little Birdie Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Sweet As Can Bee Dies and Little Birdie Dies to die cut them out. I also die cut some flowers from the Gift Card Envelope Dies out of the Neenah white and yellow cardstock. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Bees: Y11/13/15/19, T1/3/5/7, R20, BG000/10
Branch: E23/25/27
Leaves: YG01/03/25
Flowers: RV13
Beehive: Y11/13/08 YR21/24 W5
Honey Pot: YR21/23/24/27, RV10/21/13
Honey Dipper: RV21/13/14

For the boxcard, I used the Stitched Square Dies to die cut one 4” square out of blue cardstock, one 3.5” square and two 1” squares out of white cardstock. I also trimmed a blue strip (1.25” x 11”) and two white strips (1.25” x 4.75”) for the boxcard base. 

For the boxcard base, I used a score board to score the blue strip at the 1.25”, 5.25”, 6.5” and 10.5” marks. I folded on the score lines, added liquid blue to the 0.5” end tab and secured it to the other end of the strip to create the boxcard base. I adhered the two large square die cuts to each other and then to the back of the boxcard base. I adhered the two small white squares to the side panels.

For the boxcard shelves, I used the score board to score the two white strips at the 3/8” mark on each of the long ends. I folded on the score lines and added the shelves to the boxcard with a strong double-sided tape. 

For the sentiment, I used the Slimline Pennant Dies to diecut a white banner. I used a partial diecuttibg technique and the fishtail end of the die to shorten the strip to fit the front of the boxcard. Next, I used the Hayley Uppercase Alphabet Dies and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies to die cut the B-E-E letters out of black cardstock. I adhered the letters to each other with liquid adhesive and used the word to align the “You’re as sweet as can” sentiment from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps set onto the banner. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the banner with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I adhered the BEE to the banner. 

I adhered the colored images and sentiment strip to the boxcard with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape. To make it look like they are flying, I used clear acetate strips to adhere the bees. 

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.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Sweet As Can Bee Gift Set with Tammy Stark

Hello friends! Tammy here with a fun project featuring the adorable set, Sweet as Can Bee. I decided to create a cute tea pocket and muslin bag, filled with tea, honey, and a honey dripper. This is such a sweet little gift for a tea lover!

To begin, I stamped the images from Sweet as Can Bee, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the coordinating dies. Next, I die-cut 2 Scalloped Oval Mat 3 dies from Bristol cardstock, masked off the edges, and ink-blended them using the Pink Fresh Ink Cubes- Napa Valley. I arranged the images onto the inked oval mats, attaching some with foam tape for dimension. I then stamped a white banner, die-cut with the Brilliant Banner 3, and attached it along the bottom of the ovals using foam tape.

To create the pocket, I simply took a brown paper bag, folded up the bottom, and glued it along the edges to create a pocket. I covered the bag with the Dots & Stripes Jewel Tone Patterned Paper, then tied some lavender crinkle ribbon around it before attaching the scalloped oval with foam tape. I then filled my little pocket with tea, honey, and a honey dripper.

I also created a little tea pouch with an adorable tag. It is a little muslin bag that I repurposed, filled with tea and honey. It is tied up with a honey dripper and finished with a tag and crinkle ribbon.

That's it! You have a cute, little, simple, and inexpensive gift! You could also tuck in a gift card for a little something extra! I hope you are inspired to make some adorable tea gifts for the tea lover in your life!

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy crafting!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Sweet As Can Bee Cards with Leanne West

Hello everyone! Leanne here and I'm very happy to be here to share a couple of bee theme cards I have made using the absolutely adorable Sweet As Can Bee stamp set and matching dies. I've also done a little creative fussy cutting to make a custom bee hive. I'll explain how to do this in detail below. 

This first card includes lots of images and a sentiment from the Sweet As Can Bee stamp set as well as my custom-made bee hive. 

Making your own card stock bee hive is very easy to do. Start with creating a template by folding a small sheet of copy paper in half. Next draw the bee hive shape on the folded paper like you see in the photo below. If you'd like to make the same size as mine, use the measurements in the photo. Next cut the shape out and unfold the paper. Now you have a template for a perfectly symmetrical hive which you can trace onto card stock and fussy cut out. I cut mine out of pale yellow card stock. I then added shading and splatters to give the hive some definition and interest. Lastly, I used a 3/4" paper punch to create the opening and backed it with a dark brown card stock. 

After my bee hive was complete, I stamped the sentiment and then adhered it with foam tape to a panel vellum cut slightly smaller than A2 size. I embellished this panel with lots of Copic colored flowers and bees. Once I had the placement of everything just right, I adhered my little bee hive scene onto a pink A2 size card front. The pink card front was splattered beforehand with gold and pink watercolor to give it a speckled look. 

For the second card, I have created another playful scene with the bees and flowers, only this time I used the Frilly Frames Hexagon Dies to create a background that perfectly pairs with the Sweet As Can Bee stamp set. 

The Hexagon Frame has been die cut from light yellow card stock and then backed with a creamy ivory card stock. I then layered this frame over top a bright pink panel slightly smaller than my A2 size card base. 

I wanted the sentiment to take center stage on the card with the bees and flowers surrounding it. I used a combination of word stamps from Sweet As Can Bee and the Sydney Alphabet Dies to create this fun sentiment. I then added the flowers and bees to create the carefree style composition. 

I hope I have given you a bit of new inspiration for making whimsical bee theme cards. Thanks so much for joining me today! Copics used to color the images are listed below.

bright pink - RV10, RV13, RV14; medium pink - R83, R85; bright green - YG11, YG13, YG17; medium green - YG61, YG63; bright yellow- Y11, Y13, Y17; mustard yellow - YR32, Y2; black- N2, N4, N6; cool shading on white flowers -C1, C3; light blue shading on bee wings - B00

Sunflower Fields Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Hanh here with you today and I have a clean and simple Thank You card to share showcasing the Sunflower Fields set. I love how well this previously released set pairs so well with the recently released Sweet As Can Bee set. So, let’s get started.

I stamped the sunflowers from the Sunflower Fields Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, Tea Dye, Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso Distress Oxide inks. I used the coordinating Sunflower Fields Dies to die cut them out. 

Next, I stamped the bees from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Sweet As Can Bee Dies to die cut them out. I colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Bees: Y11/13/15/19, T1/3/5/7, R20, BG000/10

For the background, I used Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink to ink blend to add a bit of color onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock behind the sunflowers.

I stamped the “Just buzzin’ by to say” sentiment from the Sweet As Can Bee Stamps set and the “Thanks” from the Sunflower Fields Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink directly onto the inked panel. I also added some stitched trails with the same black ink. 

The sunflowers and bees 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”).

Build-A-Bowl & Strawberry Patch Card with Marieke

Hey everyone, Marieke here. I'm back again with my weekly post for Sunny Studio Stamps. Today I hope to inspire you with a card that I made using the Build-A-Bowl and fruit dies.

For my card I cut a top fold white base card. Cut the front of the card using the inner piece of the Frilly Frames Hexagon dies to create a see thru card. Ink Blending a panel using Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint. Splattered some water and green ink and glued the panel on the inside of the card.

Die cut the strawberries out of the Strawberry Patch Dies using green, pink, yellow, black and white cardstock. Ink Blended the strawberries using Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide ink. Glued the strawberries together. For the front panel I Inked up the leaves using Forest Moss before glueing them to the front of the card.

Die cut the Build-A-Bowl Dies out of white cardstock and glued the strawberries on the back before glueing them to the card. Die cut the word sweet using the Sydney Alphabet dies and white cardstock. Glued it on the inside before stamping birthday out of the Birthday Cat Stamp.

Used Copic Colors:
Black - T6, T4, T2
Yellow - Y38, Y35, Y32
Wings - B02, B00, B000, 0

Heat set the other sentiment from the same Birthday Cat Stamp on some black cardstock and trimmed it down to a small banner. Stamped the bees out of Sweet As Can Bee stamp, colored them up using my Copic markers and cut them using the matching Sweet As Can Bee dies. Added them to the front of the card and finished off using some wink of stella clear glitter on to the wings.

Have a wonderful day!
