Sydney Alphabet Die Focused Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing this tropical Birthday card featuring the new Sydney Alphabet dies.

Normally, I start by ink blending the background, but this time I began with the dies and stamps. I wasn’t sure yet where everything would go on the card, so I didn’t know exactly how far the beach and sea should extend.

First, I die-cut the birthday girl’s name using the new Sydney Alphabet dies. I die-cut the letters twice: once from coral-colored paper and once from gray paper. I layered the gray letters behind the coral ones to create a soft shadow effect.

I decided to let the Fabulous Flamingos be the party guests and dressed up the card with lots of greenery: the palm trees from the Tropical Scenes set and the leaves from the Fabulous Flamingos stamp set. The parrots from the Tiki Time stamp set joined in as extra tropical guests.

Once I had a rough idea of where everything would be placed on the card, I ink blended the sea and the beach onto the background. After that I colored the stamps with Ohuhu markers.

To make the card feel even more festive, I added some fun party elements like the party hats, cupcake, and party horn from the Panda Party set. And of course, the flamingos needed cocktails to toast. Finally, I glued the name and colored images onto the background and added some highlights with a white gel pen.

Card done, ready to send joy! Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.

Speech Bubbles Extras Die Focused Card with Marieke

Hello all, Marieke here. I'm back again with my weekly post for Sunny Studio Stamps. Today I hope to inspire you with a card that I made using the Speech Bubble Extras Dies.

Cut a A2 size topfold basecard, cut a pink rectangle 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and glued that to the front of the card. Cut a white rectangle and a 3 3/4 x 5 inch watercolor rectangle. Inked up the watercolor panel using Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistashio, Dried Marigold, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry.

Die cut the Sliding Window Dies out of it. Cut a slightly smaller water color panel and inked it up using the same colors as I used for the other panel. Glued the smaller panel behind the larger panel leaving the moving part free of glue. Added the white and mechanisme onto the card. 

Stamped the images from the Fabulous Flamingos and Tropical Scenes stamps. Colored them up using my Copic marker and cut them by hand and with the Tropical Scenes Dies.

Used Copic Colors:
Flamingo - RV13, RV42, R01, R00 / C5,C3,C1,0 / Y13, Y11
Green - YG67, YG63, YG03, YG01
Brown - E47, E44, E43, E42
Dark Green - G09, G07, G05
Pink - R85, R83, R81

Cut a strip of acetate, in the middle of the moving mechanisme i cut a slight cut and adhered the strip of acetate on the back of the mechanisme. Stamped the sentiment out of the Inside Greetings Friends Stamps using a pink ink and cut it using the Speech Bubbles Extras Dies. Adhered the speech bubble onto the top of the acetate strip.

Stamped the sentiments out of the Fabulous Flamingos Stamp on some pink cardstock and heat set them using a white embossing powder, cut one to a small banner and the other one I cut using my Scissors. Adhered these sentiments on the inside of the mechanisme so it would be the stopper.

Have a wonderful day!

Vintage Valentine Card with Janneke

Hello crafty friends, Janneke here. Today I’m sharing this tropical Valentine card featuring the new Vintage Valentine stamp set.  

For the background, I ink blended a bright green ground and a blue sky to set the scene. Next, I stamped the typewriter and a few envelopes with little notes from the Vintage Valentine stamp set and added the sentiments on it.  

I wanted to give the card a fun tropical twist, so I created a playful scene using the cute sloths from the Silly Sloths stamp set. To bring in lots of lush greenery, I added plants and leaves from the Tropical Scenes and Fabulous Flamingos stamp sets. 

As a finishing touch, I included the colorful parrots from the Tiki Time stamp set and added some highlights with a white gel pen. I love how all these elements come together to create a cheerful tropical Valentine card.

Card done, ready to send joy! Thanks for joining me, and see you next week.

Love Monkey Valentine's Day Cards with Mendi

Hello there! I hope you had a lovely Christmas. This is Mendi popping in to share some love-themed cards for Valentine's Day featuring our beloved Love Monkey Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Love Monkey Stamps, I created a 3.5" wide x 7" high mini slimline with a polka-dot background stamped using the Background Basics 2 Stamps. For the stitched mat to frame my scene, I elongated one of the rectangles from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies by hanging part of the die off my cutting plate and running it through my die-cutting machine a second time. 

I added two tree branches to the top of my scene with three of the monkeys. Originally, the hanging monkey was designed to hang from a vine, but I altered him and cut off the vine so I could wrap his tail around the tree branch instead. I also added the bouquet of flowers to his hands to cover the envelope, as if he were trying to steal the girl monkey's heart. Along the bottom half of my card, I added the Scalloped Fence Die, a bit of grass using the Mini Grass Border Dies, and two little birds perched on the fence from the Little Birdie Stamps.

For my second card using the Love Monkey Stamps, I created a jungle scene. I started by inking my white cardstock panel with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress ink. I then stamped two of the leaves from the Elegant Leaves Stamps around the outside edges using PinkFresh Studio Grassy Knoll Ink. I layered the vines and tree branch to the top of my card with an image from the Tropical Scenes Stamps, and then tucked the same monkey hanging from a vine to blend with the other vines. This time, I trimmed off the envelope and put a banana in his hands to go with the sentiment I stamped. I added a toucan from the Savanna Safari Stamps and a tree branch from the Love Birds Stamps along the bottom of my card for my girl monkey to sit on with her bananas. Lastly, I added the punny greeting from the Love Monkey Stamps, substituting the words "for you" with the script word die cuts from the Gift Card Pocket Dies.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛
