Beach Buddies Card with Bobbi

Hey everyone, Bobbi here. Guess who is having a pool party this summer? BARBIE!  Wherever you look this season, it's all about Barbie, Ken and the new Barbie movie. I went to see the movie last weekend so I have Barbie on my mind. I made this card featuring the Beach Buddies stamps and dies. Are you ready for some hot pink?! Let's go!

To make this 5" X 7" card, I I started by stamping and die cutting the beach buddies using the coordinating stamps and dies. I colored them using lots of pink! For the accessories, I used the hottest and brightest pinks including Copic colors, RV02, RV04, RV06, RV09, and RV17. I cut the pool using the Swimming Pool dies and three palm trees from the set, Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies.

To create the scene, I attached the pool in the middle of my front panel, blended on some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink for the clouds in the sky above the pool and used a fine-tip black marker and ruler to create the concrete squares around the pool terrace in the foreground. I used Copics in W3 and W1 to add some color to the concrete along with a few black dots for divots in the concrete. I kept it simple to let all the accessories show brightly.

I tucked a few palm trees behind the pool and added a number of hot pink accessories in the foreground. I added the floaties, animals, beach bag, bunny and accessories to the card. I hand cut a beach towel, adding scissor-cut fringe to the edges and stamped hearts on it for a print. I used the sand shovel stamp to make poolside tropical drinks. Barbie loves pink hearts so I stamped a string of hearts between the palm trees and connected them with a black marker. I attached hot pink rhinestone gem stickers to each hanging heart, the heart-shaped sunglasses, the beach bag, the drinks and the "summer sunshine" sentiment for some fun, sparkly, bling. I think this party would be Barbie-approved!

Swimming Pool Die Focused Cards with Alma and Gladys

Hi, this is Alma and today I want to show you a happy shaker card even though it's a rain card. We're having a heatwave here in Germany, so we could use a cooling-down in form of a card.

I decided to go with a rectangular card format and first cut a rectangle of about 4 by 2 inches into the card base. For the shaker frame I cut a 4.5 by 2.5 inch rectangle. I then cut another rectangle of 4 by 2 inches into it to create a frame. I glued foil into both rectangles. Then I glued the frame to the cardstock and filled the shaker element with the Iridescent Clear Jewels.

Then I coloured the dog and the umbrella from the Rain or Shine stamp set with Copics and mirrored them using the mirror stamping technique. I also coloured the reflection and inserted it into the Swimming Pool die. To increase the reflection effect I glued on a vellum. Now I stamped the text from the Rain or Shine stamp set on the inside of the card and stamped the clouds from the same set and punched them out with the matching Rain or Shine Dies! Finished!

-------------------------------------------------

Hello friends! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Gladys here and I'm excited to be back on the blog to share my project using the Swimming Pool die. This awesome die is the perfect element to use with all your summer projects. For my card I combined it with the adorable seals from an older stamp set.

To start I created the background using a sunray stencil and distress oxide inks. I lightly blended the inks on Bristol smooth cardstock. Then I lay the stencil and use a heavier hand to blend the same inks. I do this method so that I don't have the white showing from the cardstock and the darker ink blend makes the rays more prominent.

Next I stamped and colored several seals from Sealiously Sweet stamp set using alcohol markers. I use the coordinating dies to cut them out. I also used the Swimming Pool die to cut from white cardstock and colored it with markers.

To assemble the card I cut a piece of dark gray cardstock and mounted it on the bottom of the panel. I used a combination of liquid glue and foam tape to adhere the images. For the sentiment I heat embossed on black cardstock and stamped the word "summer" using our Beach Buddies set onto the panel. For the finishing touch I used a white gel pen to add white highlights.

Thanks so much for joining me. Have a wonderful day!!

Tropical Trees Backdrop Die Focused Cards with Vanessa and Audrey

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a summer card combining the Tropical Trees Backdrop dies with various sets.

I trimmed a panel of white cardstock slightly smaller than the card base. Now I used the Swimming Pool Die to trim off the edge of the water. I inked the bottom part with Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide ink to create the beach, masking off the sky with masking paper I cut with the Slimline Nature Borders Dies and inked the top part with Tumbled Glass ink. Now I inked a smaller panel with the blue ink, too and adhered it behind the beach panel and onto the card. I stamped the images and die-cut the palm tree, colored everything with Copic markers, die-cut the images with the matching dies and adhered all elements to the card. 

Again, I used a variety of sets:
Beach Babies stamps + dies
Sealiously Sweet stamps + dies
Passionate Penguins stamps + dies
Tiki Time stamps
Chloe Alphabet Dies
Tropical Trees Backdrop
Swimming Pool Dies

Now I die-cut the letters, inked them with the same ink I used for the water, matted them with black letters to create a shadow and adhered them. After I had die-cut and added the clouds, I finally stamped the rest of the sentiment.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Thanks for visiting!

Hello friends! Audrey here with a tropical nighttime scene to share with you!

I started off by inking a piece of white cardstock cut to 4.25" x 5.5" with Distress inks in Villainous Potion, Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Carved Pumpkin, then I splattered with some clean water and some metallic watercolor to add some extra interest. I die cut the Tropical Trees Backdrop and a trio of palm trees and clouds from black cardstock and glued everything down with a glue pen. I added a tiny car from the Comic Strip Everyday die set, which coordinates perfectly with a sentiment from the Country Carnival stamp set. 

To finish off the night sky, I added a scattering of white starts die cut using the Basic Mini Shape Dies II die set and then added some white gel pen accents to the clouds. This simple card packs a punch with the high contrast of the bright sunset sky and the dark die cuts.

Swimming Pool Die Focused Cards with Audrey and Vanessa

Hello friends! Audrey here with a fun summer card to share with you! 

To create this card, I started off by stenciling some clouds to a piece of A2 sized white cardstock with Salvaged Patina Distress ink. For the grass in my scene, I used a piece of floral patterned paper from the Sweater Weather 6x6 paper pad. For some added texture and dimension, I tore the top edge of the paper and inked the edges with Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress ink. 

I die cut the pieces of the Swimming Pool die from both grey and aqua cardstock and inked the edges with coordinating ink colors. I also used the Tropical Trees Backdrop dies to add some palm trees which I cut from white cardstock and inked with Distress ink. I adhered one down on each side of the pool, leaving room for a sentiment from the Beach Buddies stamp set. 

Two adorable kids from the Kiddie Pool stamp set are taking a dip, and there are a trio of birds flying overhead, cut using the Tropical Trees Backdrop dies. To finish off this card, I added some white gel pen accents and mounted the panel to an A2 card base.

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a fun summer card using the Swimming Pool Die. This is my own version of Dogtown Boys :)

I first trimmed a panel of white cardstock to fit the card base. Now I inked the top part with Squeezed Lemonade, Festive Berries and Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide inks and the bottom part with Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Ink. After I had stamped the palm trees and the sentiment, I adhered the panel to the card base. 

These sets were used today:
Swimming Pool Die
Critters on the Go stamps + dies
Radiant Plumeria stamps
Surfing Santa stamps

I die-cut the pool from white cardstock, colored it with Copics and adhered the pieces to the card. Then I stamped my images, colored them with Copics, die-cut the pieces with the matching dies and adhered the elements to the card with foam-tape.

Wishing you a happy summer day! Thanks for visiting!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Kiddie Pool Cards with Anja Bytyqi

Hello everyone, Anja here with you today. I’m happy to be back again as a guest designer on the Sunny Studio blog. This time I'm sharing two cards made with the Kiddie Pool Stamps. I love how well these stamps work with other products!

For my first card, I created a colorful scene using the inflatable swimming pool along with two of the kids who are having some splashy summer fun in the garden.

First, I started off with ink blending the faded sky background onto a white A2 panel. I used Tumbled Glass and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink. To create a bit of texture, I splattered on Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink as well as white gouache paint. When everything was completely dry, I stamped the big scripty word 'Summer' from the Radiant Plumeria stamp set in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with bright pink embossing powder. The sub sentiment was stamped underneath in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

I trimmed down a green dotted paper from the Heroic Halftones 6x6 Paper Pack. At the top, I used the grassy border from the Picket Fence Border Die set. I adhered the grass panel flat to the background.

Next, I picked a couple of summer accessories from the Beach Buddies (sun hat, beach bag, rolled towels and suncream) and the Beach Babies (beach ball) set. I stamped all the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered everything with liquid glue and foam tape. To finish off the card, I added some water droplet images next to the girl which has been tucked into the water.

On my second card, I used the Swimming Pool Die in addition to the stamps to create another summer scene.

I created an A2 landscape card base from Naturals White cardstock which has lots of small brown speckles. I die cut the swimming pool from white and grey cardstock (railing). I did the outer piece twice, colored the top one with Copics and then stacked the die cuts together. The water was inked with Tumbled Glass and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink. I let it dry and inlaid it back into the tiled piece.

Once again, I used some accessory images from the sets mentioned above to complete my pool scene. I stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and did some Copic coloring. Everything was cut out with the matching dies and adhered with liquid glue or foam tape.

The sentiment is from the Sealiously Sweet set and I stamped it in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder and adhered the strip at the top of the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a fun summer time!

Swimming Pool Die Focused Cards with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone, Isha here with a fun summer theme card for you featuring the Swimming Pool dies. These dies have so many scoring details that it's fun to colour them too. 

I started by sponging some inks to create the grass and sky background. I then die-cut the pool using the Swimming Pool Dies, coloured the water using watercolours and the pool side using copic markers. I then die-cut the poolside three more times and stacked them together. Adhere to the card.

Stamp the images using copic friendly ink, colour and die-cut.

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun card for you all. Today’s card was inspired by Marine Simon - an amazing card maker that I always look up to. She used the newly released Swimming Pool Die to create a pond complete with adorable frogs! I decided to use it just like she did and create a fun jungle scene with a hippo walking in a lake. 

I started off by creating a background by ink blending Saltwater Taffy and Dried Marigold for the sky and a strip of green cardstock for the grass. I created my lake by using green and blue cardstock ink blended with coordinating dye inks. 

Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Savannah Safari and Tropical Scenes stamp sets. Finally, I added a heat embossed sentiment and I was done! 

I hope this card inspires you to find new ways to use products already in your stash :) Happy Crafting!
