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.

Balloon Rides stamp and die - sun
Inside Greetings: Birthday - sentiment
Beach Buddies stamp and dies - towels and sunscreen

Adhere the images to the card. Die-cut the frame using the Tropical Trees Backdrop dies. Adhere to the card.

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!

Designer's Choice Cards with Catherine and Bobbi

Hello Friends! Catherine here, sharing a swimming pool edge to edge shaker card created with the new Swimming Pool Die and the adorable friends from Kiddie Pool Stamps.

For the pool water background, I ink blended white cardstock sized 4.25” x 5.5” with Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink. I lightly splattered Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink mixed with some water onto the background. I then embossed another piece of white cardstock sized 4.25”x 5.5” with Moroccan Circles Embossing Folder. The Moroccan Circles has a summer feel is perfect for this card. 

I used the Swimming Pool Die to die cut the top left side and the bottom right side of the embossed cardstock to complete the card front.

I placed the embossed cardstock onto the water background and lightly traced the pool shapes. I adhered foam tape all around the pools. I added Blue Topaz, Crystal Clear Jewels, and Magic Blue Jewels into the pools. I then wrapped a polybag which was cut 6.5” x 5.5” around the card and secured it with double-sided tape on the back. 

Next, I place double sided tape onto the back of the card front and adhered it onto the pool background.  I added some cute pool friends from Kiddie Pool Stamps, and swimming accessories from Beach Buddies and Sealiously Sweet which were colored with Copic Markers. I finished off the card with white heat embossed sentiments from the Kiddie Pool Stamps and Fabulous Flamingoes.

Hi there! It’s Bobbi here with a thinking of you card designed for the summer season. Nothing says summer like tropical leaves and hibiscus flowers. This floral centerpiece is a special way to send happy thoughts to someone you are thinking about. 

I am using the following Sunny Studio Stamps products:

Summer Greenery Dies

Tropical Paradise Stamps

Watering Can Stamps

Sweet Treat Bag Dies

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I started with a light wash of color on Canson XL Watercolor paper using Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor paint. I used soft blues and yellows which also created some nice greens, too. For the centerpiece bowl, I got creative with my Sunny Studio dies. I used the rounded flap from the Sweet Treat Bag die set and added a striped piece of pattern paper from the Subtle Greys pad for a decorative top edge to the bowl.  I used my Copic C1 and C0 to add shading below the pattern strip to make it look more real.

For the centerpiece flowers and foliage, I cut a number of sets of leaves using the Summer Greenery Dies and colored them using G28, YG67, YG17, YG03, and YG00. I like to make them look a bit striped because often they really are a bit striped in real life. Rarely are they perfectly blended (I spent years in my mom’s flower shop!)

For the hibiscus, I used the following red Copic markers to color them: R89, R29, R24, R17, R43, R22, YR31, and Y21. For the butterfly, I used YR27, YR24 and YR21. The leaves and flowers were arranged into the centerpiece bowl and adhered in place. I use Scrapbook Adhesives foam squares to make the flowers stand out a bit more. I added some sparkle to the front using coordinating shades of  embellishment jewels. Lastly, the front was attached to a white card base using double-sided tape. Tip: The double sided tape holds watercolor paper flat and keeps the edges secure.

Kiddie Pool Cards with Bobbi and Catherine

Hello Sunny Studio friends! It’s Bobbi here with a summer card featuring the new products, Kiddie Pool stamp set and coordinating die set. I’m also using the palm trees from the Ocean View Stamps for my 5″ X 7″ card. This Kiddie Pool stamp set has all the summer lovin’ fun in one set. Friends, a backyard pool, fruity drinks… what more do you need? How about a BIG, refreshing splash?!

To create this card, I stamped, die cut and colored the palm trees, pool, kids, and chair images. I used the following colors:

Grass: YG 67, YG63, YG61, YG03 and YG00 Copic colors
Pool: R27, R17, R14, YR68, Y38, Y19, Y15, YG67, YG03, YG00, B26, B02, B00
Kids: E21, E11, E04, E00, R01, BG97, BG93, R27, Y19, R17, R14, E57, E55, E43, E49
Sky: B0000, B000, BG000
Palm Trees: E57, E43, YG67, YG03, YG23, YG00

I knew I wanted to make a big splash coming out of the pool so I hand drew in some splashes using Copics in B21, B41, B02, B00 and a very fine tip gray marker.

I added a stripe of Subtle Grey Tones pattern paper at the bottom of my card scene with a 1/4″ black strip over the seam. I stamped the phrase in the lower right corner. Once all of the elements were positioned and secured in place, I added Glass Effect Gel drops in a turquoise color in and around the pool area for dimensional water drops. I think these kids are having the time of their (summer) life!

Hello Friends! Catherine here, sharing a “fish you were here” card featuring the cute Kiddie Pool Stamps and Kiddie Pool Dies.

To start, I masked off 3” from the bottom and ink blended the sky with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink using a stencil made with Fluffy Couds Border Dies. I then splattered the the clouds with the same ink mixed with water. 

For the ocean, I masked off the clouds and ink blended the ocean starting with Tumbled Glass, followed by Mermaid Lagoon, and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Inks. I then used the wave die from Swimming Pool Die to make the waves for the sharks. I colored the friends and pool from Kiddie Pool Stamps and die cut with Kiddie Pool Dies.

I adhered the pool onto a small tropical island with palm trees from Tropical Scenes Stamps. For the shark fins, I used the shark from Best Fishes Stamps and the stingray from Fintastic Friends. I tucked the shark fins into the waves and used a white gelly roll pen to add foam. 

I finished off the card with a white heat embossed sentiment from Oceans of Joy and added a crab and seashell from Ocean View.
