Tree Branch Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and what better way to create a ‘love themed’ card than to add two adorable birds (Love Birds) to a branch (Tree Branch die) and add a bunch of beautiful flowers! I absolutely love this branch die because it has a lovely shape and is long enough to stretch across your card design. I discovered that it is a perfect fit for the Wonky Windows Dies. You get so much more use out of your stash when you mix and match old and new products!

The branch die inspired me to choose for a mini slimline card today. I created a simple white card base and used a die from my stash to cut the beautiful blue heart paper from Flirty Flowers. Next, I cut out the trio of Wonky Windows twice, once from the blue paper and once from a white sheet of card stock that I had embossed with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.

After gluing the heart design paper to my card base, I popped in the three wood grain windows which fitted like puzzle pieces. I stamped two adorable birdies from the Love Birds set and colored them with my Copics in bright blues and corals. This is such a fun color combo for Spring.

The big branch (Tree Branch die) was also cut from the wood grain paper to give that realistic texture. I needed lots of leaves from the same die set and also a bunch of flowers from the Spring Garden dies. All of them were colored with the same alcohol markers as the birds.

The sentiment was selected from the Love Birds set and stamped onto a small white strip with a red ink from my stash. The branch was glued across the trio of wonky windows as a base for the whole design. I mounted the birds and some flowers with foam tape. After adhering the sentiment strip I sprinkled a few coral hearts from the Red Heart Mix Drops.

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Kristie Marcotte

Hey everyone, Kristie Marcotte here. I'm so excited to be sharing several cards with you today that focus on the Surprise Party paper pack. Let's get right to it!

I made a fun patriotic birthday card featuring red and blue tone on tone patterned papers. I added a couple balloons above the sentiment and included the Ric Rac Border across the card. I used the Bright Balloons, Ric Rac Border,and Big Bold Greetings.

This card features the Subtle Grey Tones paper for the background. I used some of the tone-on-tone patterns from the Surprise Party paper pad for all the presents and filled the background with lots of gifts. I used Perfect Gift Boxes, Crepe Paper Streamers and Big Bold Greetings.

The background features the colorful party hat paper. I added a couple tone on tone strips. I included 3 balloons on an oval die cut. I used Bright Balloons and Big Bold Greetings.

I used some white shimmer cardstock for the background and added several narrow strips of patterned paper in pink and teal. I added a couple of present images on a vellum circle, plus a few balloons above the sentiment. I used Bright Balloons, Perfect Gift Boxes, and Big Bold Greetings.

 It's still July, so I couldn't resist making a fun Christmas card. I used the green star tone on tone paper for the background and cut out some wonky windows. I added a tiny poinsettia inside each window. I used Wonky Windows, Window Quad Circle, and Inside Greetings Holiday.

Crepe Paper Streamers Card with Marine

Hi crafty friends, Marine here! I'm back today with a very colorful mini slimline birthday shaker card showcasing the Crepe Paper Streamers, as well as three lovely kitties from Birthday Cat.

I started off by creating my shaker panel using the same process as the Season's Tweeting card I made a while ago. I first cut a 6 x 3 inches Spring Sunburst rainbow polka dot panel, and cut three Wonky Windows out of it. Still at the back of my polka dot panel, I attached a piece of acetate, added foam strips along the four edges and around each window, and poured some Birthday Cake Dot Sprinkles and iridescent confetti inside each window. I cut a 6 x 3 inches white card base, and attached another Spring Sunburst pattern paper on top of it, and then attached my card base at the back of my Wonky Window panel to close the shaker windows.

Next I stamped my images from Birthday Cat on Transotype perfect coloring paper using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I used the coordinating dies to cut them, and then colored my three cupcakes using Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers. To match the card base, I went for rainbow shades to color the cupcake cases, and next I attached a cupcake on each window using 1mm foam squares.

For my sentiment, I cut a black banner using a die from the Notebook Photo Corners die set, I white heat embossed my "Meow is the time to celebrate" greeting from Birthday Cat on top, and then attached the banner below the windows using 1mm foam squares.

Next I created some colorful Crepe Paper Streamers. I cut several streamers out of white cardstock using the long dies from the set, and used the small dies to cut many colorful pieces. Attached those tiny pieces on the white steamers in a rainbow order to match the card base, and then stuck the streamers above the windows using 1mm foam squares.

And that's it! Super cute and very festive with those cheeky kitties and bright colors. Hope you like it! Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Garden Critter Cards with Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here today buzzin’ on in with these cute dragonflies from the Garden Critters Stamps! I just love how happy they look!

 

I started this card with the sky background by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock using the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. I cut the panel to 5 1/2” long and inked clouds with a stencil using Tumbled Glass Distress ink. I heat embossed the sentiment approximately  2 1/4" from the top edge and then matted the panel on black cardstock.

Next, I cut 2 strips of patterned paper from the Spring Fever Paper 1” x 5 1/2" and adhered them to each side of an A2 card base. I then adhered the cloud panel to the center of the card.

My dragonflies needed a few flowers to buzz around, so I stamped Iris from the Spring Bouquet Stamps and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I adhered them to the card front and trimmed the excess leaves and stems along the edges.

To finish, I stamped the dragonflies on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I added sparkle to their wings with a shimmer brush and adhered them using foam tape to pop them up from the background.

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Hello Sunny friends. It’s Bobbi here with a new set for spring called Garden Critters by Sunny Studio Stamps. This set is filled with cute little creatures buzzing, flying, crawling, and/or growing in the garden! I used this stamp set and coordinating dies along with the new Spring Fever pattern paper in this spring release and the Wonky Windows dies.

After cutting the Wonky Windows openings from the front panel, I added a pretty blue, cloudy sky patterned paper behind the windows and a strip of greenery to the bottom base of the panel. Now comes the fun part …. I added flowers, critters, greens and a bright sun to the scene. The tulips were colored in reds, oranges and yellows and the planter boxes in blue. 

Here’s a list of the Copic colors I used:
Greens: YG03, YG25, YG67
Reds: R29, R24, R14, R22
Yellows and oranges: YR09, YR68, Y38, Y15, Y08, Y06
Blue: B000, B00, B02, B04
Violet: V04
Cool Grays: C7, C5, C3, C1
Black: 100
White Gelly Roll Pen for highlights

A watering can full of posies and a sweet little lady bug sit in the green grass at the bottom. Bees, a butterfly, and a dragonfly accent each window. I used cushion strips to make the front panel sit off the background layer for some depth and dimension. This set has several sentiments to choose from. I used “Hap-Bee Birthday” on this card, positioning the words by the bees in the scene. This card fits neatly in an A2-sized envelope.

Penguin Party Cards with Alma and Marie

Hello my dears. It's Alma here and today I want to show you a card with the super sweet Penguin Party Stamps.  I chose a rectangle format for the card and I die-cut three windows with the Wonky Windows Dies.

Then I stamped the three penguins with the gifts from the Penguin Party Stamps and die-cut them with the Penguin Party Dies. After that I coloured them with Copics. Then I glued the cardstock with the windows on the red striped paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper . Then I added snowflakes with the white gel pen. Then I die-cutted green leaves with the Winter Greenery Dies and glued them together with the penguins on the cardstock.

-----------------------------------------

Hi Crafty Friends! Marie here. Happy December! Christmas is finally in the air! I'm sure we are all busier now more than ever trying to create as many cards as possible before the Holiday deadline. I know I am! So for this  week's card inspiration,  I am sharing a super simple and festive box card featuring Sunny Studio's Penguin Party Stamps and the Holiday Greetings Stamps. This happy little box card is sure to bring smiles to your friends and loved ones  and will make such a cute display piece this Christmas! 

To start off,  I die cut all the elements of my interactive box card using the Lawn Fawn scalloped box card- pop up die. For this, I used Bristol smooth cardstock paper for easy ink blending. Once I had all my box card panels, I cut off all the box flaps so that the only thing left is a box. I then took an arched dome shaped nesting die to create my background panel. I used bristol smooth cardstock for this also. I then ink blended the outside of my box, and all four snow drift panels using Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink followed by Uncharted Mariner Distress Ink. For the Domed Background panel, I used a cloud stencil to create some soft clouds using Speckled Egg Distress oxide Ink and Uncharted Mariner Distress ink for all the edges.  Before putting together the box, I used a watered down acrylic paint to splatter on some snow texture to the outside of the box, the snowdrift panels, and the background panel. 

After putting together the box, using double sided adhesive tape and Bearly Art Craft Glue, I stamped out all my images from the Penguin Party Stamp and Christmas Tree from the Cozy Christmas Stamp onto watercolor paper using Distress Ink in Antique Linen. I then used the Penguin Party Dies and Cozy Christmas Dies to cut out all the images. 

I stamped out the beautiful "Merry Christmas" sentiment from the Holiday Greetings Stamps using Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink. I cut out the sentiment using the corresponding Holiday Greetings Dies. To add a little bit of dimension to the Merry Christmas greeting, I die cut the greeting 2 more times and layered the pieces together so I could create height without using foam tape.  I  played around with my image placement but before adhering my images I  reinforced all of them using a thin strip of 110 lb cardstock which I glued to the back of each image and then adhered them to the snow drifts. Doing this ensures that they will be strong enough to stand on their own.  For my finishing touch, I added a few die cut stars to the background and made them sparkle with Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue. 

And that does it for this week's Holiday Card Inspiration! Thank you so much for joining me today!! I wish you all a very Happy Card-crafting Week!!! 

Penguin Party Cards with Tina and Vanessa

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina and today we are having a fun Penguin Party on the blog!! How sweet are these cuties from this new stamp and die set!

I went with a traditional Christmas color scheme and selected a beautiful snowflake paper from the Joyful Holiday paper pad. I used a mini slimline die to create the base panel. Next, I die cut the Wonky Window Dies which are perfectly sized to fit the cute penguins. I also love that these dies come connected so no measuring for placement is needed!  

Crafters can be hoarders. I had a large roll of pink glitter washi tape in my stash forever and I finally decided to use it as the backdrop for my critters, along with three little snowbanks from white cardstock. Then I selected three adorable penguins from the Penguin Party set, colored them with Copic markers and added highlights with a white gel pen.

The sentiment comes from the same set. The bold ‘Merry’ was created by die cutting the pink glitter washi tape (added to a piece of cardstock) with the Chloe Alphabet dies. For dimension I added two layers of white letters underneath the glittery ones. But the pink glitter wasn’t vibrant enough to my liking, so I used a Copic marker to color the letters red instead. A few small branches and berries from the Winter Greenery dies were cut as extra embellishments.

To assemble the card, I added the pink glitter washi to the card base (after coloring the borders in the same red as the Merry sentiment), followed by the snowflake panel which I mounted with foam tape for dimension. After adhering the snowbanks, I included the penguins, gifts, greenery and finally the sentiment.

To make this card extra jolly, I adhered a little white pompom to each of the penguin’s hats. As a final embellishment I added a few of the Chrystal Clear Jewels scattered around the sentiment.

And so this sweet Christmas card is finished! Thank you for joining me on the blog and happy crafting!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a colorful Penguin Party card + tag.

I first die-cut the stitched panel using the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies, masked off the five areas and inked them with Lucky Clover, Festive Berries, Kitsch Flamingo and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide inks. 

After I had removed the masks, I adhered the piece to my card base. 

For the tag, I created my layers with the Mini Mat & Tag 3 Dies, inked them and assembled them with baker's twine. Now I stamped the penguins, colored them with Copics, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered the pieces to the card and the tag with foam tape. Finally, I stamped the sentiment from Jolly Gingerbread and added wood veneer stars.

I hope these cuties made you smile today! Thanks for stopping by and happy weekend!

Designer's Choice Cards with Catherine and Bobbi

Hello Friends! Catherine here, sharing my last card for the Summer Term. As I have recently moved countries, I will be spending time to settle in. It has been a great pleasure to be part of the amazing Design Team at Sunny Studio Stamps!

For my last card, I wanted to keep summer memories alive so I created a “Happy Summer” card featuring our Wonky Windows Dies for the airplane, Ocean View border for the summer scene along with a few friends for the airplane passengers.

To start, I die cut white card stock sized 4.2” x 5.5” with Wonky Windows Dies, I then ink blended some stripes across the windows with red and blue ink.  I carefully placed a cloud stencil made with Fluffy Cloud Border above and below the windows and ink blended with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I covered the window area and lightly splattered a small amount of the ink with water for texture. I flipped the card over and adhered a strip of acetate for the windows.

I used the Fluffy Cloud Border and die cut a cloud border out of white cardstock. I lightly inked the cloud border with the same ink and splattered a small amount of ink with water. I then stamped the sentiment from Beach Babies with Black Ink in the middle.

I stamped the border from Ocean View and die cut with the coordinating die, Ocean View Dies. I colored the border with Copic Markers and added seashells from the same set and a starfish from Fintastic Friends.

For the cabin, I ink blended cardstock 4.25” x 5.5” with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide. For the airplane seats, I used the hotdog die from Fast Food Dies. I added a few friends from Kiddie Pool and Beach Buddies and that’s it!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! For more details and inspiration, please visit by my blog Craft-Cat! Have a wonderful day!

Life flies. Days become years and years become decades. Next thing you know, you’ve been married 50 years!  I wanted to share this idea in this “flippin” fun card. It’s Bobbi here with a card for a newly wed couple or a pair celebrating an anniversary. 

This card will work for either. I’m using the following Sunny Studio products:

Wedded Bliss stamp set and coordinating dies

Passionate Penguins stamp set and coordinating dies

Heart Bouquet stamp set and coordinating dies

Inside Greetings Sentiments Congrats

Scalloped Oval Mat dies

Bursting Hearts Die

To create this 5″ X 7″ card, I cut the following pieces from white cardstock. I used a lighter, 80lb cardstock for the pages that flip, to keep it less bulky when stacked. The card base (A7-sized full piece in the back) is made from 100lb cardstock for stability.

White Cardstock pieces:
3-1/4″ wide X 3-1/2″ long, scored 1/2″ from the top (80lb)
3-1/4″ wide X 4″ long, scored 1/2″ from the top (80lb)
3-1/4″ wide X 4-1/2″ long, scored 1/2″ from the top (80lb)
3-1/4″ wide X 5″ long, scored 1/2″ from the top (80lb)
5″ wide X 7″ long (100lb)

I stamped the penguin images from the Wedded Bliss stamp set (bride and groom), the Passionate Penguins stamp set (pair in the car, kissing couple, and dancing pair) and the balloons from the Heart Bouquet stamp set and colored them using the following colors: 100, c9, c7, C5, C3, C1, YR16, R14, YG41, YG45, Y06, Y19, R00, R22, R14, R29, BG15, and BG13. 

These will be featured on each page in this order:
Page one: “first kiss”
Page two: “courting years” in the convertible bug
Page three: “happy together” with the heart balloons
Page four: “wedding day” with the happy couple

I assembled the card by adding pattern paper from the Subtle Grey Tones paper pack to the base (5″ X 6″ top piece and a 5″ X 1″ bottom strip). Next, I attached the flip pages to the base. I stacked the four pages and adhered them together  above the 1/2″ score line. I used other pattern papers as backgrounds on the pages, too. The Bursting Hearts Die, cut from a red cardstock was used as the backdrop on the front page and the Scalloped Oval Mat 2 die was used on the last page as an arch for the wedding couple.

Finally, I added a wedding sentiment from the Inside Greetings Sentiments Congrats on the last page and added the “love” die cut and a 1/8″ strip in black to the bottom to finish the card.
