Tool Time Cards with Candice and Rachel

Hello! Candice back with you today sharing a fun masculine card using the new Tool Time stamp set!

I used these great Sunny Studio products for my card:

• Tool Time stamps & coordinating dies
• Frilly Frames Herringbone die
• Stitched Semi-Circle dies
• Dots & Stripes Pastel 6x6 paper

I began the background by trimming some Kraft cardstock to fit just a little smaller than my card front and die cut the herringbone pattern in the center. I then used my cameo silhouette to die cut out the bold DAD using the blue striped pattern paper.  

Next, I die cut three stitched semi circles, stamped them with a repeated pattern using the saw and colored them in with copic markers.

To put the card together, I first adhered the DAD with foam tape and also added the semi circles with foam tape, trimming the edges. I heat embossed the sentiments in white on trimmed black banners and glued to the DAD. To finish, I added a few black domes to tie it all together.

Masculine cards tend to be the hardest for me and I know I'm not the only one so this set will be a great go to for them! Thank you for visiting today!

Hello crafty friends, Rachel here! I have two quick masculine cards to share with you today that feature the brand new Tool Time Stamp Set. 

I wanted to keep my cards clean and simple to show you how easy it is to create a fun but easy card using this super cut set. All of my images were stamped onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored with Copic Markers, and cut with the coordinating Tool Time Dies.

My first card can either be used as a congratulatory card or for Father's Day. To start, I trimmed a bunch of both gold and black cardstock strips at .25" wide. I then adhered these pieces side by side with liquid adhesive to a 5.75" x 4.5" card base in an alternating pattern. Once these strips were attached and dry, I then trimmed my base to a 4.25" x 5.5" standard A2 card size. I wanted it to resemble construction caution tape. I then added a stitched rectangle cut from white card stock. I lightly blended some gray ink in the center of this card and attached my images after stamping my sentiment in black.

For my second card, I used one simple saw as my focal point. I layered my A2 sized card base with both dark brown and Kraft card stock, as well as some brown woodgrain patterned paper from the Amazing Argyle Paper Pad.

Thanks so much for dropping by! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Tool Time Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a masculine card using Tool Time. I am struggling with cards for men, I always feel like a beginner card maker when the task of making a card suitable for a male comes up! This fab stamp set makes it a lot easier:

I started with a white card base, inked the front with blue Distress Oxide Inks and added blue ink droplets. Now I trimmed strips from wood patterned paper from the Amazing Argyle 6x6 Paper Pack, inked the edges and adhered them to the card. I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto another strip, added the nails with a black marker and adhered it. 

Now I stamped the images from the set onto white cardstock, colored them with Copics, added highlights with a white gel pen, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered the pieces to the card, using foam tape for the hammer.

I hope you have a wonderful day, thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone, Anja here and today's card features the fun Tool Time mini stamp set which is just perfect for creating masculine projects which I often struggle with ;-)

I started off with an aqua A2 card base and added texture to a teal cardstock panel with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. I splattered on some white paint with a brush, let it dry completely and adhered the embossed panel with a piece of fun foam to the card base.

Next, I stamped the tool images as well as the book (Grad Cat set) and the paper roll (Woo Hoo set) in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I did some coloring with Copic Markers and fussy cut everything out.

I used the Wrap Around Box Dies to create a wooden tool box (to make the handle, I die cut the tag twice and did rotate it for the 2nd cut). I cut it from woodgrain cardstock and sponged the edges with brown ink.

I also die cut a circle from grid patterned paper (Gingham Pastels Paper) and trimmed the left side to offset it on my card. I adhered the tool box with foam squares and tucked the images inside. Finally, I added a sentiment banner and enamel dots to finish off my card.

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

Tool Time Cards with Ana and Tammy

Hello friends! It’s Ana here today with a masculine card showcasing adorable new Tool Time stamp set and it’s coordinating dies – from the new summer release! We have a lot of boys/men in our family and I am always finding myself needing masculine cards! I was so excited to see this set! It is perfect for birthdays, achievements and upcoming Father’s Day!

For my card today I used only two images from the set –a hammer and a nail. I thought stamping the nail around the edges of the panel would create a really cool visual frame. I stamped the nails in two rows, using darker gray ink for the outside and medium gray for the inside line.

Next, I created the word YOU using the same nail stamp, then added coloring/shading with Copic C markers to all the nail images.

I stamped, colored and die cut the hammer 3 times and adhered it to the background, then added the sentiment and finished it off with and additional nail that serves as an exclamation point.

I love how this card turned out! Tool Time set is so versatile – images in the set can be transformed from masculine to super cute by using the smiley face included in the set!

Thank you so much for joining us today and until next time I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hi crafty friends! Tammy here and I am so excited to be sharing my first post as a Design Team Member for Sunny Studio Stamps! Today, I have a fun tool box card to share with you that showcases the new Tool Time Stamp Set. 

My card measures approximately 3 1/2" wide X 5" tall, and fits perfectly into an A2 envelope when folded flat. I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto Bristol smooth cardstock and colored with Copic Markers. I then used the coordinating Tool Time Dies to cut out my images.

Copic Colors used: Yellow: Y35, Y15, Y11; Red: R24, R29, R39; Gray: N0, N2, N4

To create the peg board, I cut a piece of kraft cardstock and inked it with Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide. I used a spring loaded hole punch to create the holes for the pegboard, layered on top of black cardstock, then attached to the red backing. The drawers were created by cutting strips of red cardstock, approximately 4 3/4" wide X 1" tall. I then cut a  thin strip of silver foil cardstock, attached to the top of each drawer, and attached to the front of the box using foam tape for dimension.

Sneak Peek: Introducing Grad Cat, Tea-riffic & Tool Time Mini Stamps

Hello and welcome to 5th and final day of our Summer Sneak Peek Week!  All this week I have been showcasing cards using our newest collection which is now shipping!!!

I've created a video showcasing not only today's sneak peeks, but all the new products from our Summer 2020 release and a closer look at the 48 cards I made with them (which you can view below or at our YouTube channel HERE).

Today's final peeks include three new 2x3 mini stamp sets and their coordinating dies celebrating Graduation, Mother's Day, Father's Day and so much more. 

Card No.1:  Up first is our new Grad Cat Stamps that comes with a little kitty wearing a graduation cap, a small bow tie, a book and three punny sentiments. When adding the book to the set I immediately knew I wanted to create a rainbow stack of books for the cat (or any critter really) to sit on.  And can I just say I adore the puns in this set!  To carry out my rainbow theme, I used a rainbow chevron pattern from our Surprise Party Paper pack.  Often my graduation cards follow a red, black & white theme for our local high school colors so it was really fun to break free of that and embrace the rainbow!

Card No. 2:  For my next card I couldn't resist the opportunity to stamp a whole litter of kitties in different colors. I inked behind them with some salty ocean distress ink and added a tiny red heart using our Basic Mini Shape Dies II to separate my two phrases. For their diplomas I used the smallest sized diploma from our Woo Hoo Stamps and completed my card with a small strip of red cardstock to tie with all the other red accents.

Card No. 3:  My last card with the new Grad Cat Stamps pairs the kitty with the notebook paper from our School Time Stamps and the diploma from our Woo Hoo Stamps. The lines of the notebook paper were just the right size to stamp my two punny sentiments on either side and I added a little extra realism by using a 1/8" circle punch to punch out the holes for each paper.  For my card background, I used a gradient from our Heroic Halftones Paper pack and stamped a couple stars from the Grad Cat stamps, together with some mini star die-cuts with our Basic Mini Shape Dies II.

Card No. 4:  Our second new mini set of the day is our new Tea-riffic Stamps. The set comes with a teapot, teacup and a punny sentiment that can be personalized for a friend, mother or sister like I did here. To decorate my teapot & teacup I added some flowers from our Chubby Bunny & Chickie Baby Stamps. I fussy cut mine, but you could also use the coordinating dies or mask them off and stamp them directly onto the tea images themselves.

I added the pair onto a Stitched Arch using our new dies, stamping the punny sentiment from the set. For my background I alternated yellow prints & patterned scraps from our Classic Gingham, Striped Silly and Polka-dot Parade Paper packs. A grosgrain ribbon tied with a bow completed my card, which was inspired by THIS card by Heather Pulvirenti.

Card No. 5:  Up next is a polka-dot take on the teapot & teacup. The Tea-riffic Stamps come with a full dot and a half dot making it possible to stamp a polka-dot pattern like the one shown here before you color your images. Everything is just cuter with polka-dots, right?  

I mounted my images onto one of our new Stitched Semi Circle dies and then offset a red and white layer of our Eyelet Lace Border Dies to add along the bottom. To tie in my pink heart print paper from our Flirty Flowers Paper pack, I inked on some worn lipstick distress ink behind my images. A few scattered White Pearls completed my card.

Card No. 6:  For my last card using the Tea-riffic Stamps, I used the little happy face from the set to add personalities to  my Teapot & Teacup (which always make me think of Beauty & The Beast). To create my custom patterned paper, I started by inking up a piece of white cardstock with shaded lilac distress ink and then used a ruler to draw faint pencil lines to help me keep my stamped teacups straight. I then went back through and quickly stamped all the little faces and erased my pencil lines.

I finished my card with a couple scalloped layers using our Eyelet Lace Border Dies and another punny sentiment that works perfectly with this set from our new Summer Sweets Stamps.

Card No. 7: Our last new little stamp set of the day is called Tool Time which features a hammer, nail & hand saw with two different punny sentiments.  I once again decided to create my own patterned paper, this time drawing my light pencil lines on the diagonal.  A clear grid style ruler is perfect for this sort of technique because it makes it super easy to draw evenly spaced lines without a ton of measuring and honestly after I drew my lines I just eyeballed the rest, trying my best to keep each row somewhat evenly spaced and centering the nails with the row above and below.

When I was done with my pattern, I cut part of a circle out of the side using our new Stitched Semi Circle dies. I then cut another circle in the same size from white cardstock inked up with mustard seed and a little spiced marmalade distress ink along the bottom. I inlaid the circle into my opening and taped the two pieces together with some tape along the back. Lastly I die-cut a mat from both pieces using our Frilly Frames Retro Petals dies.

I then mounted them onto a blue A2 sized cardstock panel and tucked in a tape measure border from our School Time Stamps and a sentiment which was stamped onto a little banner piece from our Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies.

Card No. 8:  For my very last card of the week I used the little hand saw image to create a cute punny Father's Day card. I created my own faux wood frame by coloring some white strips of cardstock with my copic markers, adding some faint little squiggly lines to mimic the look of woodgrain.  I then created a little slice in each corner with my craft knife to insert the nails into, before adding foam tape to the back of my entire frame.  A piece of red cardstock which I embossed with our Woodgrain Embossing Folder seemed like the perfect way to complete this simple card.

I ended up using faces on both my Tool Time cards because I just love the personality it gives the hammer & saw, but I know it's not for everyone so I just wanted to make sure to point out that the happy face is a separate stamp that you can chose to use or omit. :)
