Backyard Bugs Lovebug Card with Heidi

Hello everybody!  It's Heidi here and I'm so happy to be back at the Sunny Studio Stamps blog!  We have an amazing new release. Today I am sharing a card featuring the new Backyard Bugs Stamp and coordinated die set.   There are so many cute images to combine for creating adorable cards for Spring time and all year 'round occasions.

For this card I used a circle stencil for the background, which I inked with a soft bluish green ink. I stamped, colored and die cut the flowers, the mushroom and the lady bugs. I also used the banner from the "Sunny Borders" stamp set, which I colored using purple Copic Markers. 

I stamped the "you are my" sentiment from the Sunny Sentiments stamp set and then stamped the words "love bug" using the Sweet Script stamp set.  This is a very easy to use alphabet set.  I really like the font--it's a must have for customized sentiments. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  We would love to see what you create using our stamps and dies!  Have a lovely day!

Backyard Bugs Home Is Where The Heart Is Card by Melissa

Hello everyone, Melissa here!  Today I have a card to share using another one of the newly released stamp sets, Backyard Bugs. This set has a bunch of cute little bugs to make the sweetest outdoor springtime scenes . I absolutely LOVE it! 

To make this card I first die cut a stitched rectangle out of white card and used a light brown ink to lightly blend the outside edge. After that I stamped the sentiment which is from the Happy Home stamp set. I wanted to do this first so I knew exactly how much room I had to fit my scene. 

I then stamped and masked off the flowers, mushroom and lady bug before stamping the mushroom house. I also free-handed a little path leading up to the house with a Copic multi-liner. I then removed all of the masks and colored the images with Copic markers. To create the striped paper for the card base I used a stencil and some red distress ink. 

I hope you enjoyed the card for today and that you love this stamp set as much as I do! Don’t forget to check back for more inspiration! 

Sunny Sunday Share: Bundled Up Winter Penguin Cards

Hello there!  I'm a day late, but I wanted to pop in with some darling projects that caught my eye on instagram over the past week or two using our Bundled Up stamp set and coordinating dies.

Up first is a super cute card by Anita Madden (at amadden725).  I am in love with her mad coloring skills and her artful use of patterned paper!  Loving her touches with the complimentary orange color too!  :)

Next up we have some really cute paperclips toppers using more of the penguins from Bundled Up set by Monique (at vampyr1764).  Aren't these a darling idea for planners?!  Love how she paper-pieced the earmuffs and scarf from patterned paper!

I hope you will join these ladies by sharing your darling creations with us on our Facebook page, in our Flickr group or by tagging us with the hashtag #SunnyStudioStamps oninstagram.  

Guest Designer Spotlight: Sending My Love Card with Laura Bassen

Every other Friday we will be spotlighting a different guest designer on the blog.  I'm very excited by all the wonderful and talented ladies we have lined up for the coming months and the wonderful Laura Bassen is kicking things off with a darling card using our Sending My Love stamp set.

I just adore the darling way she colored her kitty and her clean and simple style!  The little window with the kitty peeking out is too cute and I love the way she cut the heart with hands out as a separate piece to pop them up and make them stand out!

Thank you Laura for sharing your talents with us!  :)

Rain or Shine: You Make Me Happy Card with Elise

Good morning! It's Elise again to share a colorful card with you that features the Rain or Shine stamp set and dies!

I was so excited about the rainbow and cloud stamps in this set, and I knew they would be perfect for a cheery, colorful card!

The images are all colored with Prismacolor pencils and attached with foam tape. I used a smiley face stamp from another set that I had in my stash, but the face could easily be drawn on the cloud with a black marker. I also added some stickles to the edge of the clouds and the hearts for some extra detail. Here is a close up on those adorable clouds!

This set is so cute and its perfect for making sunny, spring cards! I can't wait to send this card to a friend to brighten their day!

Thanks for stopping by and stop by again tomorrow for some more inspiration! :)
