Island Getaway Salty Kisses Card with Lexa

Happy Fri-YAY everyone!  

Lexa is here today, and this is my first post as a Sunny Studio Stamps Design Team. I'm super excited to be here. And here I am sharing a happy summer card with you..

I use a stamp set called Island Getaway with a monkey in a pink polka-dot bikini sending salty kisses to you.  How cute is that?  She's having a great time on a private island I bet.
I stamped wavy borders on blue cardstock and layered them together. I also wanted to create a sun to complete my scene, so I just die-cut a stitched circle on yellow cardstock.

I left white borders as I blended the blue sky using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, masking off the border with low tac tape. The "salty kisses" sentiment is stamped on pink patterned paper to match the monkey's bikini and is attached with foam tape.

My last touch is pretty sequins.  I looove how it turned out. This stamp set is so summer-y with so many fun details and cute sentiments.

Thanks for looking and wishing you a great day!

Tropical Paradise My Sunshine Flamingo Card with Vanessa

Hi everyone!  Vanessa here with my very first post on the Sunny Studio Blog. I am so happy to be here and hope to inspire you :)

For my card, I played with my new favorite stamp set Tropical Paradise. I love all the elements of this set:

Sunny Studio Stamps: Flamingo Card by Vanessa Menhorn (using Tropical Paradise, Sweet Script, Sunshine Word die and heart from Sunny Borders dies).

I started with a card base made from kraft cardstock. Then I trimmed a piece of watercolor paper slightly smaller than the card and inked the middle with kraft ink. Now I applied drops of gold and pearl spray ink and adhered the panel to the card. I stamped and colored the flamingos, cut them out and adhered them with foam tape. Then I die-cut the "sunshine" and the heart from gold glitter cardstock and adhered them. Finally, I stamped "my" using Sweet Script Stamps.

I hope you like my first card! Thank you so much for visiting!

Fresh & Fruit Perfect Pear Anniversary Card with Lindsey

Hi!  Lindsey here today with a “sweet” card using the new Fresh and Fruity stamp set. This set is full of yummy fruits and cute sentiments! Let’s get started!


Sunny Studio Stamps: Fresh & Fruity For The Perfect Pear Anniversary Card by Lindsey Bailey.

I made the cute little pears the stars of this card. I cut an A2 sized card base using some Doodlebug patterned paper. Then I cut a scalloped oval frame and white oval to do my stamping on. I stamped two little pears side by side and added the sweet little faces to them. I colored the pears using Copic markers. Next, I stamped my sentiment.  The top part of the sentiment is from the Fresh and Fruity stamp set and the “congratulations” is from the older Sunny Borders stamp set. I bent both sentiments to match the arch of the oval.

To finish off the card, I added a few sequins in opposite corners, and tied some black and white twine across the top of the card. I also added some white dots to the scalloped oval with a white gel pen.

I hope you’ll check out this fun set, and thanks for reading!

Island Getaway Happy Summer Card with Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here!  I am so happy and excited to have my first card on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog.

I start with this fabulous new set called Island Getaway. Awe... What a great set for summer - or for dreaming of it.

When I saw these super cute flip flops I literally could feel the sand between my toes. So I knew instantly that I wanted to make a beach card.

I created the beach and the water with ink blending by masking areas with a ripped masking tape. I added a little bit of white and sparkle for the sea spray. I finished by adding the tiny flowers to the flip flops to dress them up even more.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
