Backyard Bugs Little Snail Mail Card with Melissa

Hello everyone, Melissa here! Today I have a card to share using the stamp set Backyard Bugs (and the letter from Sending My Love). This set is my favorite from the spring release, it is so good for making scenes and the little bugs are too cute!  

To make this card I first stamped the sentiment on the top of a small rectangle of white card. I wanted to do this first so I knew exactly how much room I had to fit my scene. I then stamped and masked all of the images, starting in the foreground and working my way back. I then removed all of the masks and colored the images with Copic markers. To finish up the card I attached it to a piece of yellow patterned paper. 

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 Saturday Share: Spring & Easter Themed Cards

Happy Saturday!  Today I'm popping in with some awesome Easter cards spotted on instagram this past week.

Up first we have a couple cards by the talented Lindsey Sams (@baileyl5) using our A Good Egg Stamps and coordinating dies.

When I saw this darling card I literally squealed.  How clever is it to stack all the eggs together with the chick on top?!  I love her beautiful coloring and the fun glittery accents she added to the eggs with a wink-of-stella pen (you might have to visit her feed to see the beautiful close-up shots to fully appreciate all her beautiful details).  ;)

Her second card is equally adorable.  I am loving the fun die-cut scalloped borders in her background and how it ties together all the colors in her images!  

I also adore these sweet cards by Sarah Elliott (sarahelliott76 on Instagram) using the same A Good Egg Stamps.  :)

She shares a fun video on how she created these on her YouTube channel HERE.  I found her so soothing to listen to her creating and explaining her process while I worked. She's a wonderful teacher!  :)

Last, but certainly not least I spotted this darling card by Tanya Adams (studio5380 on Instagram) using our Backyard Bugs stamps.  I am so smitten with her color scheme.  Pink and green is one of my favorite combinations and with pink mushrooms it's even better!  Loving her sweet die-cut lace border and her beautifully colored grass too!  :)

Aren't these all so cute?!  We'd love to see what you've been creating with our stamps & dies too!  As always you share your creations with us on our Facebook page, in our Flickr group or by tagging us with the hashtag #SunnyStudioStamps on instagram.

I hope the rest of your weekend is happy!  :)

Rain or Shine Puppy Dog Get Well Card with Francine

Hi everyone, Francine here!  

Today, I’m featuring the newest Rain or Shine stamp set and here is what I came up with:

This set is FANTASTIC! There are so many ways to use it. You can mix the images together to make a scene or create a clean and simple design. I decided to focus on the dog with his yellow rain coat (even if the stamped image was black and white, I saw it "yellow" *ha ha* but of course, you can choose another color for the coat lol). I colored the cute doggie with Copic markers and fussy cut him with scissors. There are also coordinating dies for this stamp set in case you don’t like fussy cutting!

Next, I created a circle shaped card using blue gingham design paper and yellow cardstock for the base. I love the yellow-white-blue color combination! It’s so fresh, isn’t it? The sentiment, also from the Rain or Shine set, was stamped with black ink and I framed it with twine. To finish off my card, adhered the images with foam pop dots to the card base for more dimension.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Rain or Shine Weather It Together Card with Elise

Hi there! It's Elise to share an encouraging card that features the "Rain or Shine" stamp set and dies from Sunny Studio Stamps!

The images are all stamped in black ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils. I really wanted it to look like the puppy had its arm around the other puppy! The images are all attached with foam tape for some extra dimension, and I also added some details with a white gel pen. Here is a close up on the puppies:

I used a grey colored pencil to add some shading below the puppies, and I also used some blue ink to stamp the raindrops in the sky.

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

May Your Day be Filled with Sunshine Card by Marion

Hello. It's Marion here with another card using the Rain or Shine stamp set. I've also used the Sunny Sentiments stamp set for the greeting as well as the Sunshine word die.

I stamped and fussy cut the rainbow and the clouds (there are matching dies for the Rain or Shine set but today I felt like fussy cutting). All images were coloured with Copic markers.

To create the background, I masked off the edges of a white piece of card stock with some masking tape. I then used an ink blending tool and some Salty Ocean distress ink to create the sky. It lacked some texture, so I spritzed the panel with a mister filled with water and then dabbed up the excess water with paper towel. The water reacts with the Distress ink, to create the fun water splattered effect.

I die cut the Sunshine word die about 4 times and adhered them together. The top layer was coloured with Copic markers to create the ombre effect. It's hard to tell, but the Sunshine word die is also covered in a layer of Clear Wink of Stella Glitter brush pen.

Sunny Studio products used:

• Rain or Shine stamp set
• Sunny Sentiments stamp set
• Sunshine word die

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are having a great day.
