Fresh & Fruity Mother's Day Card with Lindsey

Hi, Lindsey here with a card using the Fresh and Fruity stamp set. This set is so versatile because it has so many cute sentiments and adorable fruit images. I combined this set with the panda from Comfy Creatures to create a fun Mother's Day card.

I started with an A2 size card base and stamped the watermelon image in diagonal lines to create my own patterned paper. Then I colored all the watermelons with Copic markers. I used some stitched circle stackables to create a place for my mommy and daughter panda to sit. I stamped and colored the pandas, then fussy cut them out leaving a small white border. There are also dies for the Comfy Creatures set if you don't like fussy cutting. 

I stamped my sentiment in the bottom right corner of the card. Since the sentiment was three different stamps, I decided to stamp the word "sweeter" with a pink dye ink to add a little interest. Lastly, I went over all the watermelons and the red frame around the pandas with my Wink of Stella glitter pen to add a little sparkle.

Thanks for reading and I hope you'll check out this cute set. With so many different fruits and sentiments, the possibilities are endless!

Fresh & Fruity Tags, Tags, Tags by Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here!  I have a lot of yummy tags for you today!

I couldn`t decide which one of the fruits of the new fanastic set called Fresh & Fruity to use so I used them all and made a bunch of simple tags.

I used the same layout for every tag. That made creating fast and simple.  I started with stamping, coloring with Copics and fussy cutting all the fruit images.  In my stash of patterned paper I found a matching strip of paper for every tag.

The set is full of punny sentiments. I stamped them with Versafine for a crisp impression.  I finished with twine in a matching color.

When I make several cards or tags with the same set and layout I always try to do one step for all the projects at once, for example: die cutting all the tags, coloring all the images, cutting all the stripes of patterned paper.

I hope you like all the Fresh & Fruity tags!

Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week!

Fresh & Fruity Sweet Friend Fruit Card with Eloise

Hello everyone, Eloise here and today I’m going to be featuring the new Fresh and Fruity stamp set. For today's card I’m going to be watercolouring the images and creating a fun background.

To start off my card today I used some black ink to stamp out all of my images I wanted to use from the Fresh and Fruity stamp set onto some watercolour paper - this was just done randomly. I start off with larger images first and then fill in with smaller ones. I then clear embossed over the images, as I want the watercolour to stay contained within the images. For my water colouring today I’m using the Dr. Ph Martin Hydrus watercolours. These images are so super fun to colour with watercolour! Once they were all watercoloured, I set the piece aside to dry. I then stamped out the fun sentiment from the same Fresh and Fruity set. I love the two styles of writing together, it’s so pretty! I cut that piece at an angle for a fun effect on the card. I then adhered it to watercoloured piece.

To finish up the card, I cut down some green cardstock and adhered it to a card base. I then mounted my panel onto some fun foam and then adhered that piece down to the card base also. For a last finishing touch I used my Wink of Stella glitter pen on some images and then some clear sequins and adhered them onto my background also.

Thanks for stopping by today, make sure you check out tomorrow for some more inspiration using this Fresh and Fruity stamp set!

Guest Designer Spotlight: An Island Getaway with Stephanie Klauck

Hello, it's Stephanie here and I am so excited to be guest designing on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today! For my card, I used the new Island Getaway stamp set and paired it with the Happy Home stamp set to create a little tropical paradise. ;)

To create my card, I first stamped all the images I wanted to include on my card onto white cardstock with black ink. I coloured all of the images on with Copic markers and then I cut them all out with my scissors. I arranged all of the cut out pieces onto a white cardstock panel to decide how I wanted my scene to look and then I adhered everything with down with adhesive. I positioned everything on the right side of the card and let the leaves of the palm tree hang slightly off the edge for a fun look.

Once I had everything adhered to the panel, I added it to a grey top-folding card base. To add some extra detail and dimension, I added some clear glitter with a Wink of Stella glitter marker to the flowers and the flip flops. I also added Glossy Accents to the flip flip straps and the centers of the flowers. I stamped part of the sentiment on the sandy beach and then stamped the rest of it on the white cardstock panel, directly under the sandy area. To complete the card, I added some clear sequins scattered around my scene with silver Stickles in the centers.

Thanks so much for stopping by the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today! 

Tropical Paradise Sunshiny Day Card with Lexa

Hello everyone!  Lexa here with a bright card using the Tropical Paradise stamp set with a fresh fruity drink as the star. You will in love with this set as it has lots of fun and pretty images.

I started with my 4.25"x5.5" white cardstock, and blended Squeezed Lemonade, Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade together with a grid stencil. As you know that Distress Inks are react well with water so I splashed some onto my cardstock using a wet brush to create the faded effect.

For my images, I stamped them with Black Onyx Versafine (this is my favorite ink for watercolor) and colored them with Distress Markers using watercolor technique. I colored the glass of fruit punch as how I usually see in real life, it has a beautiful ombre color. To add an extra something, I added some flowers and a pineapple as well.

Before I arranged all the pieces together, I stamped the sentiment with the same black ink for a crisp and bold look against the colorful background. I also used some hearts in two different size with pink and orange dye inks. Finally to adhere all the bits together, I added different heights with foam tapes to create fun dimension.

Thanks for looking. I wish you a sunshiny day even it isn't summer yet! :)
