Tiki Time Card with Amanda

Hey there, fellow cardmaking enthusiasts! Amanda here with you. Are you loving summer as much as I am?! It is THE BEST! I have made so many summer scene cards and I love it!! Today, I am sharing another one with you! This card features some really cute kitties on the beach enjoying some drinks! Keep reading to see how I created this card!

First, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4.25”x5.5”. I stamped the beach background from the Ocean View Stamps with black ink. From the Tiki Time Stamps, I stamped my “Aloha” sentiment in my horizon.

Next, I stamped the kitties from the Cat Antics Stamps. I also stamped the tiki torches, tiki bar, and drinks from the Tiki Time Stamps.  

I colored the background and my images in with Copic markers. I added some white highlights and dots using a white Gelly Roll pen. Then, I die cut the images out with their coordinating die sets. 

I put foam squares behind all of the images to prop them up and then adhered them to the card front. I then, glued my panel to an A2 card base.  

This scene just makes me want to go to the beach! Those kitties are just having too much fun! I hope you continue to enjoy your summer and also find some time to get crafty!

Kiddie Pool Card with Amanda

Hey crafty friends and welcome back to the Sunny Studio Stamps Blog! It’s Amanda here and today I’m sharing how I made this summer card!

This card was made using a masking technique. I started by stamping the images in the foreground first, applying masks to the stamped images, and then worked my way to the background images.  

All the images come from the Kiddie Pool Stamps, Tiki Time Stamps, Beach Buddies Stamps, and the Beach Babies Stamps.

To do this, I first stamped the tiki torch, the little girl to the left, the bunny and the dog. Then, I created masks of each of these images by stamping the image onto Heffy Memo Tape and using scissors to fussy cut them out. I placed the masks on top of each image so that I could stamp the next set of images.

Next, I stamped the little bag and masked it off. Then, I stamped the pool and masked it off.  Next up came the other 2 little girls. Then, I stamped the Tiki Bar. Finally, I stamped the little boy. Before removing the masks, I ink blended the sky with Catherine Pooler's Oh Boy! Ink and a blending brush. I also colored in the grass with Copic markers while the masks were still on.

Once that was complete, I removed all the masks and began coloring with Copic markers. I added some white Gelly Roll pen highlights and dots in a few places. I stamped my sentiment last. To finish the card off, I glued it to an A2 card base.

One layer cards can be so fun to make! I hope you enjoyed this post and come back tomorrow for more inspiration!!

Party Pets Card with Amanda

Hey there, crafty friends, Amanda here! Oh, do I have a fun card to share with you today!  I LOVE a good beach scene and this one was SO fun to make! Grab your supplies and let’s make this card together!

First, grab a piece of white cardstock and trim it to A2 size (4.25”x5.5”).  Then, stamp the beach scene from the Ocean View Stamps. You want to position it leaving enough room at the bottom for the tiki bar and critters. Use the coordinating dies to cut the top of it off. Grab another piece of white cardstock trimmed to A2 size. On this panel, ink blend your sky. I used Oh Boy! from Catherine Pooler Designs.

Next, we’ll take a piece of white cardstock and stamp all of our remaining images. You’ll need the Ocean View, Tiki Time, and Party Pets stamps. We’re ready to color all of our stamped images now! I used Copic markers to color my images, but you could use your favorite coloring medium! I also used a white gel pen to create dots and highlights on the images. Once everything is colored, we can cut them out with their coordinating die sets!

For the sentiment, stamp a piece of black cardstock with the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from the Squirrel Friends stamps with a Wow! embossing pad. Apply white embossing powder to the glue and then melt the powder with a heat gun. Trim the strip with a paper trimmer and use scissors to create a banner end. Now we’re ready to assemble the card!

Glue the blue sky panel to an A2 card base. Apply 3D foam tape behind the beach scene and then add that to the card base.

Next, we’ll use 3D foam squares behind the rest of our images and sentiment. I like to start by placing all the images where I think I want them before removing the backing off the adhesives. Once I have everything placed where I like it, I can start removing the backing and adhering them to the card!

Wasn’t that so fun?! I love a busy scene full of adorable critters, don’t you?! Thanks so much for stopping by the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today! Have a great rest of your week!
