A Good Egg Happy Easter Single Layer Card with Melissa

Hello everyone, Melissa here! Today I have a card to share with you using the stamp set A Good Egg. This set has so many cute images you can use in so many different ways. 


Sunny Studio: A Good Egg Easter Card by Melissa Bowden.


I made an Easter card with the two chicks painting the eggs in the egg carton. To create the card I first stamped the chicks, paint bucket, egg carton and paint brushes and masked them off. Starting with the images I wanted in the foreground and working my way back. With all of those masked I then masked off the bottom of the card, which would become the grass. I added a variety of blue inks and blended them together to create the sky. After that was done I removed the masks and added color to the images and the grass with Copic markers.

To finish the card off I stamped the sentiment “Happy Easter” in Versamark ink and heat embossed it using white embossing power. That completes the card for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Backyard Bugs Home Sweet Home Card with Elise

Hi there! It's Elise here this morning to share a "new home" card that features the "Backyard Bugs" stamp set and dies!

Sunny Studio: Backyard Bugs Home Sweet Home Toadstool House card by Elise Constable


I started by stamping the images on white card stock and coloring them with Copic markers. I added the two smaller mushrooms on the sides to give the little ladybugs a bigger house!

For this card, I also used the "Sunny Borders" set for the banner, and the "Happy Home" set for the sentiment. I had to do some selective inking to get the sentiment arranged the way that I wanted for the banner. I also attached the images with foam tape, and I used two layers of foam for the banner so that it really stood out on the card. Here is a close up:

I hope you like the card! Thanks for stopping by this morning! :)

Backyard Bugs Polaroid Thanks Card by Marion

Hello again. Marion here with another card using the simply adorable Backyard Bugs stamp set. I also used the cloud stamp from the Rain or Shine set. I just love to frame any little scene I create, so a polaroid die from my stash did just the trick.

Sunny Studio: Backyard Bugs Thank You Card by Marion Vagg

All the images were stamped, fussy cut and coloured with Copic markers. Once I had assembled my scene, I popped it up on some foam tape before mounting it to my card base, which I covered with some patterned paper.
