That Sucks Vacuum Shaker Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and I'm back with a card featuring the new That Sucks stamp set. I decided to do a simple design and add a shaker window inside.

Sunny Studio Stamps: That Sucks Shaker Card by Eloise Blue

To begin my card I stamped and coloured two vacuum cleaners with some Copic Markers and die cut them out using the coordinating That Sucks Dies. I now needed to work on the background. I used two shades of pink and one reddish pink Distress Ink and ink blended the background on some watercolour paper, then flicked a paintbrush that was wet so I could get the water droplet effect. I then heat set it and used some circle dies to cut an opening. Once the panel was ready to go I worked on my shaker portion.

I adhered the left over circle to a piece of scrap paper and then took two pieces of foam tape together and cut it in half to make skinner strips. I went around the outside of the circle until there were no gaps. I used that spare piece of paper that I adhered the circle too so I could adhere my foam tape to it. I then filled the circle with some sequins by Pretty Pink Posh. I then took my panel again and added a piece of acetate behind my window and then adhered that down to my shaker piece, lining up the background so the colours line up.

To finish up my card I adhered on the vacuum cleaners with foam tape and stamped the sentiment from the same That Sucks stamp set with black ink directly on the background and then adhered my entire panel to a card base.

I hope you enjoyed my card today and come back the rest of the week for more inspiration!

Introducing Our Newest Team Member: Amy Yang!

Hello there!  I am so thrilled to introduce you to our newest creative team member today!  Please join me in welcoming Amy Yang to the blog!  I am a huge fan and I just know you will be too (if you aren't already).  :)


Hi there! Amy here and I am so excited to joining the Sunny Studio team! For my first post I wanted to make a card using the adorable images from Froggy Friends stamp set. I love how versatile this set is; you can use it to make cards for almost any occasion.  With Valentine's day around the corner I decided to create a love themed card to share with you today.

First, I trimmed Bristol paper and Masking paper to 4"x 4". Then, I die cut the bottom half of the masking paper with a circle die and used it to mask off areas for ink blending on the Bristol paper. With the blending tool, I applied Distress inks in Broken China and Salty Ocean for the water. I also used Scattered Straw and Picked Raspberry for the skies. I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set using Archival ink.

For the images, I stamped on white card stock, colored it using Copic markers and fussy cut them. Then, I adhered the cut images to the front panel. I used doubled sided foam tape behind the frogs to add dimension. I also added Wink of Stella to the hearts and the flowers to make it sparkle. Lastly, I adhered the front panel to the card base.

Timeless Tulips Garden Card by Lexa

Hello everyone. Lexa here today with a multi-color tulips garden card. It screams spring! I must say that I'm not good at building stamps like this, but once I keep practicing and get used to it, it's really fun and addictive. Timeless Tulips helps you create effortless beautiful flowers in minutes. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Tulip Sunshine Themed Card by Lexa Levana

I start with a piece of 4.25"x 5.5" white cardstock with rounded edges. I blended Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Shabby Shutters Distress Inks for the background. I stamped my tulips with a bunch of pink, red, purple, yellow and green dye inks for the leaves. I use my acrylic block, and it works just fine.  After I finished stamping all of the elements I die cut all of them together with Timeless Tulips coordinating dies. I must say that I struggled a bit and found it hard to arrange all the tulips together, since I'm not really a flower girl. But, I'm pretty happy with the result.

Do you miss the sunshine after all the snow and winter? This is a great card to give for your special one on an early spring day. I stamped a sentiment from Sunny Sentiments with a blue ink. I finished my card with various size of clear sequins.

Here's a closer look of my card. Look how beautiful the tulips are! Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you have an awesome day!

Color Me Happy Rainbow Card With Vanessa

Hi everyone! Vanessa here with a card using Color Me Happy and Color Word Die

Who doesn't like rainbows? Or hearts? On my card, I combined both.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Color Me Happy Rainbow Color Card by Vanessa Menhorn

I first inked a scrap of cardstock with various inks and die-cut my word from it. Then I die-cut the word from black cardstock, layered both and adhered it to the card. Now I stamped the rest of the sentiment and the hearts around the focal point. Finally, I adhered matching sequins.

Froggy Friends Valentine's Day Cards With Lindsey

Hi, Lindsey here today sharing a little set of Valentine's Day cards that I created using Froggy Friends. The little frogs in this set are so adorable, and there are so many sentiments to go along with them. I made these cards simple, and they would be great to mass produce for your little's class Valentine's cards. Let's get started on how these cards came together.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Froggy Friends Frog Themed Valentine's Day Card for Kids by Lindsey Sams
          
To begin, I selected some fun 6x6" Valentine patterned paper. To make the card, I simple cut the 6x6" paper in half and scored it at 3". Next, I cut some smaller stitched squares from white card stock. The white squares are what I did my stamping on. I used red and pink ink to go along with the Valentine theme. On another piece of white card stock, I stamped out my frogs. I colored them red and pink with Copic markers and added some accents with a white gel pen. Once they were colored, I used the coordinating Froggy Friends Dies to cut them out. I attached the white stitched square to the patterned card base using regular adhesive, and I used foam tape to pop the little frogs up on their little scene. That's it!

I think these little frog cards are so adorable and perfect for kids to hand out at school to all their friends. The simple design make them easy to mass produce, but they are still really adorable! I hope you'll try your own set of Valentine's Day cards, and I can't wait to see what you create. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Turtley Awesome Birthday Card Set with Emily

Sunny Studio Stamps: Turtley Awesome Birthday Cards for Kids by Emily Leiphart.

Today, I'm sharing a duo of cards featuring the Turtley Awesome stamp set and coordinating dies. I wanted to use it on a birthday card, since that's the main theme of the stamp set but I also wanted to use it for a Valentine's Day/love card to show its versatility. It would be fun to create a card with one upside-down turtle and a get well sentiment. Haha!

Here are the cards on their own. Which one do you like better? The adorable turtles were so fun to colour. I could imagine myself colouring a whole bunch in different colours!

I used the Fishtail Banners dies to dry emboss the patterns at the top and bottom of the panels for visual interest since the layout is clean and simple.

I love the little details that distinguish the boy and girl turtle, namely the eyelashes and scalloped shell. Aren't they the cutest turtles you've ever seen? This stamp set may be small but it sure packs a lot!

Timeless Tulips Valentines Day Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here today and I'm showing you a card I made with the new Timeless Tulips stamp set. I love these layering sets they're so much fun to use.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Timeless Tulips Valentine's Day Card by Eloise Blue.

To start off I chose lots of different pink and purple ink pads from my stash and stamped out all my tulips from the Timeless Tulips stamp set. I used an acrylic block to stamp all these out since I found it easier and they're super easy to line up anyways. Once I had all my tulips stamped out I used some green inks to stamp the stems and leaves. I then used the coordinating dies to die cut them all out.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Timeless Tulips Valentine's Day Card by Eloise Blue.

Once all my stamping was done I could move onto the background. I pulled a piece of watercolour paper and acetate. I then also pulled 3 Distress Inks out too for there background. I could have used dye inks here too, like the ones I used for stamping but I thought that I would get a better blend between colours with Distress Inks. So once I chose my colours I went ahead and pressed each of the colours onto the acetate, sprayed it with water and smooshed it down onto my watercolour paper. This gives a fun watercolour look and it's super easy. Once I had placed down one colour, I dried it slightly with a heat tool and moved onto the next colours and I just repeated this till I was happy with the look. Once I was done I dried it completely with my heat tool. I then adhered all my tulips on top using liquid and foam adhesive. For my sentiment I used the Sending My Love stamp set and white heat embossed the Happy Valentines Day sentiment onto a pink banner and then adhered that to my card also with foam tape. To finish up the card completely I added some Wink of Stella and adhered the panel to a kraft card base.

Thanks for stopping by today I hope you enjoyed and got inspired. Check back the rest of the week for more inspiration using the new products.
