A Good Egg Baby Chick Easter Card with Melissa

Hello everyone!  Melissa here.  :)  I am sharing a card with you today using the super cute stamp set A Good Egg, this set is perfect for Easter but also works well for plenty of other occasions. It is just too cute!   I created a super simple card... 

Sunny Studio You're An Eggcellent Friend Baby Chick Easter card by Melissa Bowden (using A Good Egg Stamps)

To make the card I stamped this cute sentiment on the bottom of a rectangle die-cut panel. I then stamped three of the little chicks hatching in a row and colored them with Copic markers. I added little dots with a gel pen to the one on the right and added some stripes to the one on the left. To finish the card off I added a little shadow underneath the chicks and mounted them onto a card base with some patterned paper. 

I hope you enjoyed the card for today! Thanks for stopping by! :)

My "Live Inspired" Podcast Interview with Tracie Claiborne.

I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday weekend!  I just wanted to pop in and share that my "Live Inspired" interview with Tracie Claiborne is now live at her blog.  I share a bit more about how I went about starting this company and a little bit about my design process.  



I hope you will stop by for a listen.  Tracie is such a sweetheart and she has so many inspiring guests each week.  I've become an avid listener--It's so fun to listen while I work or craft.  

This week she's also offering a special discount code for her readers to our store, as well as a special giveaway (listen to the podcast for details).  

Before I leave I want to apologize for the echo for my portion of the conversation.  I'm embarrassed to admit I had to huddle under my desk with a microphone because the cord wouldn't reach up to my desk top & I realize now that wasn't such a smart idea.  So sorry...  ;)

May Your Day Be Filled With Sunshine Card by Francine + A Sale

Hi everyone, Francine here!  

Today, I’m featuring the newest Sunny Sentiments stamp set and here is my card:

Sunny Studio: May Your Day Be Filled With Sunshine Card by Francine Vuillème (using Sunny Sentiments stamp set)
I went for a clean and simple design! The font is so BEAUTIFUL, that it doesn’t need more!!! So I focused on that. To make the sentiment pop, I decided to create a sunny background with Distress inks. I first sponged my panel with Squeezed Lemonade. I then made a self-made mask with triangles that I sponged with Wild Honey and Mustard Seed. I removed the mask and I sponged the whole background with Mustard Seed again. I kept the top of the card lighter.

Next, I stamped the “May your day be filled with” text with black ink to the background. I then embossed the “Sunshine” with white embossing powder on black cardstock and fussy cut it. I adhered it below the stamped sentiment with foam pads. To finish off my card, I die cut a cloudy border from white cardstock that I also fixed with foam pads for more dimension and I added 3 golden sequins.

Check out the Sunny Sentiments stamp set! There are many other stamps in it, which makes this set super versatile!  

I hope you like what you’ve seen! Thanks for joining me today and happy crafting!

Sunny Sentiments Hello Sunshine Card with Elise

Hello! It's Elise to share a sunshiny card that features Sunny Studio Stamp's "Sunny Sentiments" stamp and die! I wanted to create a card that was sunny and bright, so here is what I created:


Sunny Studio: Hello Sunshine card by Elise Constable (using Rain or Shine, Stitched Hearts & Sunny Sentiments stamps and Sunshine word die)

This card also features the Sunshine word die, which goes perfectly with this stamp set! I stamped the clouds onto some blue card stock, and stamped the sun onto some yellow patterned paper, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I attached the sun and clouds with different amounts of foam tape to get a bunch of dimension. The sentiment is cut from blue glitter paper to add some sparkle!

I finished the card by adding a few hearts die cut from pink patterned paper with the Stitched Heart die and hearts from the Rain or Shine dies

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you like this card! Stop by again tomorrow for some more inspiration! :)

Sunny Sentiments You are My Sunshine card by Marion

Hello. It's Marion here with another bright and sunshine-y card using the Sunny Sentiments stamp set. I also used the Sunny Sentiments dies that coordinate with the stamp set.
My card was very much inspired by this recent Cas(E) this Sketch! #157.

Using a sunshine mask, I inked up the rays with Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink. I then stamped and die cut the sun and the clouds and coloured them with Copic markers. The sun has a nice thick layer of clear Wink of Stella glitter brush pen for lots of subtle sparkle.  I adhered a yellow piece of card stock to the bottom of the card before stamping the sentiments.
