Bursting Heart Die Focused Cards with Mayra and Ashley

Hello and happy Monday everyone. It is February, yay!!! Mayra here to share this sweet Valentine-themed card with you today. I used the awesome Bursting Hearts die. 

I started by using the Bursting Hearts die to die-cut a panel using light blue colored cardstock. I then added color to the panel using Distress Oxide inks. I used Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Prize Ribbon, and Chipped Sapphire. Next, I spritzed a bit of water over the panel and dried it off. I set that aside while I  die-cut the base panel using the large rectangle from the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil die set. I then added color to it using Distress Oxide inks, I used Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge, and Ripe Persimmon. I also used these colors on the medium-sized die-cut heart from the Stitched Heart 2 die set. I layered that heart onto the medium-sized heart from the Scalloped Heart dies set. 

Next, I colored the image I would be using from the super cute Passionate Penguins stamp set. I used Copic markers. For the blue, I used B32, B24, FB2, and B28. For the penguins, I used W7, W5, W3, and W1. I then stamped the sentiment from the Lovey Dovey stamp set onto a piece of white cardstock. Next, I used the Lovey Dovey dies to die cut the sentiment. 

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you very much for taking the time to stop by today. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day.

Hello friends! It's Ashley today with a pretty thank you card using the Bursting Hearts die! I have been loving the other design team members' takes on this die - so many different ways to use it! I hope you all like what I created with it!

I started by using the Bursting Hearts die on white cardstock. I ran it through twice to make sure it cut through, but I probably would have been fine with just once. I added the die cut to a white card base for a tone on tone look. It gives a really nice texture to the background!

I created my sentiment by cutting the "thanks" from Thank You Word dies three times - once from metallic gold and twice from a pretty light pinky purple I found in my stash. I glued the layers together, slightly offsetting the gold layer so the color could peek behind. I added the word to my card, then grabbed the Words of Gratitude stamp set to finish my sentiment. I stamped the rest of the phrase in VersaMark ink on the pink cardstock and embossed with gold.

I used the Bursting Hearts die on the gold and pink cardstocks to create a pile of little paper hearts. I randomly pieced some of the hearts into the places around the sentiment.  I think they give a nice extra little pop to the card!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Bear Hugs Cards with Vanessa and Audrey

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a fun infinity card using the adorable Bear Hugs set.

I colored my images with Copic markers and die-cut the elements with the matching dies. The pieces for the sentiment were heat-embossed with white embossing powder. On my background papers, I inked the edges with white pigment ink and added white ink droplets for a wintery feeling.

Supplies used:
Bear Hugs stamps + dies
All Is Bright 6x6 Paper
Fluffy Clouds Dies
Slimline Nature Borders Dies

Want to see the card in action? Here you are:

I created a little tutorial, so you can make one yourself. Because I didn't have time to film and edit a video, I tried to explain it with this:

You will need 4 square paper pieces. Cut and fold piece A and B as shown. Fold at the dotted lines, then apply adhesive to the back of piece A, but only apply to the red areas. Adhere piece B to piece A and make sure to match the squares marked 1,2,3,4. Now fold open the AB piece. Cut and fold piece C as shown, apply adhesive to the red areas and adhere C to AB. Fold open the ABC piece. Cut and fold piece D, apply adhesive all over the ABC piece and adhere piece D to ABC. 

Happy weekend and thanks for visiting!

Hello Friends!  Audrey here today with some Bear Hugs for you! 

To create my card, I pulled out the Very Merry paper pad. I love the preprinted backgrounds that are part of this collection!  I chose the night sky background, and trimmed it down to 4" x 5.25". I stamped and colored the sleeping polar bear and the floating ice image from Bear Hugs and die cut them with the coordinating Bear Hugs dies. 

I wanted a large sentiment to break up the moon image, so I pulled out the Thank You Words dies and die cut "thanks" from set and cut it twice from white cardstock and once from navy cardstock. I stacked them together for dimension. I also stamped a smaller sentiment from the Bear Hugs stamp set onto a banner die cut and popped that up underneath. 

To add more interest to the sky, I die cut a trio of the Lacy Snowflakes and placed them around the sentiment. To finish off the card panel, I added white gel pen accents, Frosted Lace Stickles to the iceberg, and a scattering of clear confetti.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Tags & Cards with Anni Lerche

Hey stampers, Anni Lerche here! I am so happy and proud to be a guest designer for Sunny Studio! I got to play with the two new sets Lazy Christmas and Bear Hugs – so so cute. I had so much fun.

I made three tags using the set Bear Hugs because I couldn’t decide for an image. They are all so adorable. And I love to make tags. They make every gift more special and – if needed – you can quickly turn them into a card.

I started by stamping the bears with a waterproof ink and coloured them with Distress Reinkers. To darken up the shadows I used some coloured pencils. This is my favourite way of colouring.

For the backgrounds I added ink blending with Distress Oxides. The grounds I created by die cutting the Slimline Nature Borders from cardstock.

For the starry background I also sprinkled water and watered down white gesso on the cardstock. The sentiment is the Thank You Word die.

For this autumn tag I stamped a few leaves I could find in my stash and cut them out. I coloured them loosely with the Distress reinkers and added them randomly to the birch trees.

And I also created this Christmas card with the super cute sloth set. I chose some untraditional colours for the card. The images I coloured the same way as the bears. For the sentiment I used an older die called Merry Word. I love to stack up word die cuts for more dimension.

On the bottom I used the gifts from the sets. I turned them in different directions. This way it seems as if I am using a few stamps.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a crafty day.

Words of Gratitude Cards with Vanessa and Audrey

Hello to you! Vanessa here today sharing a watercolor card with Words of Gratitude.

I started with die-cutting the scalloped mat from Frilly Frames Hexagon from white cardstock and adhered it to a white card base. Now I created a watercolor background, trimmed the paper slightly smaller than the mat and adhered it. I stamped my images, colored them with Copic markers, die-cut the elements with matching dies and adhered these to the card with foam tape.

For this card, I used the following sets:
Words of Gratitude
Beautiful Autumn stamps + dies
Harvest Mice stamps + dies
Thank You Word Dies
Frilly Frames Hexagon

I die-cut the word "thanks" from black cardstock and added it to the card. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock and adhered it with foam tape.

Thank you for visiting today! Have a beautiful weekend!

Hello Friends! Audrey here today with a card to share with you using the new Words of Gratitude stamp set and Thank You Words dies. 

To create my card, I started off with a piece of white cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25". I used Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink and a cloud stencil from my stash to add a cloudy sky to the top part of the panel.  After it was dry, I splattered on some pearl white watercolor. I stamped and colored the adorable fairy on the flower and one of the butterflies from the Garden Fairy stamp set, and die cut them with the coordinating Garden Fairy Dies. 

Then, I die cut "thank you" from the Thank You Words die set three times from white cardstock and stacked them together with a glue pen. I finished off the greeting using a sentiment from the Words of Gratitude stamp set, stamped in black ink on a white banner. The fairy and butterfly were popped up with foam tape, and I added white gel pen accents and Diamond Stickles to them for added interest. 

Before popping the panel up on an A2 card base, I added a strip of striped paper from the Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 Paper Pad to the left edge of the card base. Finally, I added some tiny stars from the Garden Fairy stamp set scattered about the scene, and a few tiny pink heart confetti.
