You're an Eggcellent Daughter Card by Marion

Hi there. It's Marion here with another card using the Good Egg stamp set. This set is great for Easter and has some fabulous punny sentiments in it. I've made a card for my daughter - I'll pop it in her school lunch box sometime.


In order to line up my chicks in a row, a lightly drew a pencil line as a guide. Once stamped, I coloured them with Copic Markers. I decided to use the coordinating dies and stamp and die cut an additional chick to pop up for some foam tape.

I also die cut some grass from the Sunny Sentiments die set and coloured it with Copic markers. The eyes are little black seed beads that I adhered with Glossy Accents.

You're An Eggcellent Friend Easter Chick Card with Heidi

Hello there!   It's Heidi here today with a bright and cheerful card using the "A Good Egg" stamp set and coordinating dies.



To create my card I first watercolored rainbow stripes onto some white cardstock using a wide paintbrush.  I then die-cut the panel using a stitched rectangular die from my stash.  

To create my scene I colored six of the eggs, the paint bucket and little chick with my Copic Markers to match the watercolors.  I added a strip of black cardstock to help ground my scene and make the images pop.



I hope I've inspired you to take a closer look at this adorable set!  Make sure to stop back by for more inspiration this week using the Sunny Sentiments stamp set.

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!
