Sunny Studio Stamps Summer 2016 Sneak Peeks & Contest!

Hello there!  I feel like such a tease because I think these little cutouts of our new stamp sets can barely be considered a sneak peek, but I thought it would be fun to show you a small snippet of each set and have a contest to see who can come the closest to guessing the themes of our 7 new Summer sets being released on April 1st!  :)

The first person to guess them all correctly (or the most correct) will win a $25 discount code to the Sunny Studio online store (Contest ends on 3/19/16 at Midnight PST). The winner will be announced on Sunday, March 20th along with a full reveal of all the new sets!

Let the guessing beginning... ;)

Rain or Shine and Sunny Sentiments Rainbow Card with Audrey

Hello there!  Audrey here, and I am excited to be back for a guest post using the Rain or Shine and Sunny Sentiments stamp sets!  I love that these stamp sets work so well on their own, but can also be used together for even more options!  Adorable images, great sentiments, and super cute fonts... doesn't get better than that! :)

For my card today, I started off my using Salty Ocean Distress Ink to ink blend a blue ombre background.  I concentrated the ink to be darker and the top and fade lighter towards the bottom of the panel.  I used a water bottle to spritz water on the panel and soaked it up after about 30 seconds. I just love the effect that it creates.  

I added a stitched edge to the panel, and then stamped, colored and fussy cut the rainbow and clouds from the Rain or Shine stamp set, and the sun from the Sunny Sentiments stamp set.  I adhered the rainbow with a glue pen, and popped the sun and clouds up using foam tape.  I added some white gel pen accents to the sun, and some Diamond Stickles around the edge of each cloud for some added sparkle.  Then I stamped a sentiment from the Sunny Sentiments set under the rainbow, and popped the entire panel up on a white card base.

I hope you like it!  That's all for me today!  Thanks for stopping by! :)

A Good Egg Dyeing Fun Easter Card with Francine

Hi everyone, Francine here!  

Today, I’m featuring the A Good Egg Easter stamp set and coordinating dies.  Here's what I came up with:

This is probably one of my favorite Easter stamp sets! I immediately fell in LOVE with the egg carton and the paintbrush (there is also a fantastic paint bucket stamp in the set). I like bunnies and such images for Easter but I think it’s super fun to have the opportunity to create an Easter card without any animals too and this is what I made. I colored the egg carton and the paintbrush with Copic markers and die cut them.

   

Next, I sponged a white panel with Distress ink and I adhered the two images with foam pads to the background for more dimension. I went ahead and I stamped the "Happy Easter" sentiment from the same set in black ink and I added some sequins. To finish off my card, I fixed the panel to a card base that I grounded with patterned paper.

I hope you liked my card! Happy crafting and thanks for stopping by!

A Good Egg Colorful Easter Egg Card with Elise

Hi friends! It's Elise here to share a colorful Easter egg card with you that features "A Good Egg" stamp set and die!

I started by stamping the Easter eggs multiple times on white card stock, coloring them with Prismacolor pencils, and using the coordinating die to cut them out. I attached most of the eggs with glue, but a few with foam tape. I also added some clear stickles to the stripes and dots on the decorative eggs. Then, I attached the white panel onto some colorful, plaid patterned paper, and attached it to the card base. Here is a close up:

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

A Good Egg Happy Easter Pillow Box Project by Marion

Hello. It's Marion here with a fun little Easter project to share with you. I can't believe that Easter is rapidly approaching - where is this year going?

To create my pillow box, I first stamped a tone on tone star pattern from the Sunny Borders stamp set repeatedly across a panel of yellow card stock. It's a great way to make your own subtle patterned paper. The banner was stamped from the same set and I curved the sentiment on an acrylic block to fit into the banner. I then stamped the images from the A Good Egg stamp set and die cut them with the coordinating dies and coloured them with Copic markers.

 

The pillow box die is from my stash. I adhered all the images onto the pillow box and then filled it up with some yummy Easter Egg goodness. (NB: I may have sampled a few eggs while making and photographing this card. They were Lindt chocolates after all, so who could resist that?)
