Guest Designer Spotlight: Baby Elephant & Country Carnival Cards with Keiko Ichikawa

Hello friends! I'm Keiko from Happy Tree Studio and I'm so excited to share two cards I created with Sunny Studio Stamps summer release. I had so much fun creating!

To make the background, I inked a piece of 4" x 9" white card stock with several colors of Distress Oxide Inks and added some splatters with water and white paint. I then added die cut scallop frame with foam tapes and adhered three layers of cloud border die cuts. 

I then stamped and Copic colored the images from Baby Elephants set and die cut them out with the coordinating dies. Before adhering the images with foam tapes (except three stars in the clouds that are glued flat), I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set with blue ink. 

I pop the elephant in the middle on a die cut cloud and stamped all the little stars he is blowing using the same Oxide Inks I used for the background.

The background is A2 sized white card stock and I inked it with Distress Oxide Inks and added splatters with the same inks. All the images are from Country Carnival stamp set and I colored them with my Copic markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies. I adhered all the images with some foam tapes, but since the Ferris wheel is quite delicate (I love how this is die cut!) I decided to layer two additional die cut to the back for dimension. I also added cloud die cuts to set the scene. 

The sentiments are from the same stamp set and I white heat embossed a part of them and stamped the rest with a blue ink. To finish off the card, I repeatedly stamped the balloon images with dark and light blue inks and added white highlights with gel pen. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day!

Inside Greetings Congrats Cards with Audrey and Vanessa

Hello friends! Audrey here! Today, I have a card to share with you using the Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set, paired with one of my favorites from the summer release, Baby Elephants. My cousin and his wife just welcomed twin boys this week, and I created this card to send to them. 

I started off with a piece of white cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25". I masked off the bottom part of the panel an ink blended the top part with Broken China Distress ink. I stamped and colored several images from the Baby Elephants stamp set, and die cut them with the coordinating Baby Elephants dies. 

I die cut several white clouds using the Tropical Trees Backdrop die set. They are a great size to use with the elephants. I glued the clouds down flat with a glue pen, then popped the elephants up with foam tape. A trio of stamped star balloons add some interest to the background. I also stamped several tiny stars scattered around the background. 

In the masked area, I stamped a sentiment from the Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set in black ink. Before mounting panel up with foam tape, I added a strip of patterned paper from the Dots and Stripes Pastel paper pad. To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents and some Diamond Stickles to the stamped clouds.

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a rainbow baby card using Inside Greetings Congrats stamps.

I started with a panel of white cardstock and masked off a rectangle. Now I applied Broken Glass, Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch Flamingo and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Inks to create the rainbow background. Then I stamped the little stars and the sentiment and adhered the panel to my card base. 

I stamped the little elephant from Baby Elephants, colored it with Copics, die-cut the image with the matching die and adhered it to the card with foam tape. Finally, I added tiny star sequins.

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!
