Summer Picnic & Comfy Creatures Birthday Picnic Card with Lexa

Hi everyone. Lexa here today with a super fun mix of sets, Summer Picnic and Comfy Creatures. I think both of these sets are a match made in heaven. They go together really, really well. As in this card, the panda and his fellow monkey are having a picnic together under the apple tree.

I started with a 4.25" x 5.5" neenah solar white as my card base and die cut the stitched curve on the top and the bottom. After I got the middle part, I started to blend some Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink from the top towards the middle for my sky. I stamped all my images with black ink, I use Versafine Onyx Black, because I will watercolor all of them with Distress Markers.

One of the best things about working with clear stamps is you can bend your stamps as I did with this card, I bent the "happy birthday" and "from the whole gang" to follow the curve. And the happiest part about making a scene is to arrange them all together..haha.. I adhered some of them with glue and the others with mounting tapes so you can see some dimensions here and there.

I hope you like my card for today! Have a wonderful weekend to all my crafty friends. :)

Comfy Creatures & Summer Picnic Panda Card by Vanessa

Hi sweet Sunny Studio fans! Vanessa here with a cute panda card combining Summer Picnic and Comfy Creatures. 

I love that the sets work all so well together!

I started with a white card base and softly inked the bottom left area with pink dye ink. Then I added tiny drops of pink and white ink with a brush. Now I die-cut a picnic blanket from plaid patterned paper, trimmed it and adhered it to the card. I stamped, colored and die-cut the images and adhered them (using foam tape for some). Finally, I stamped the sentiment. 

It's so fun to create different creatures with the Comfy Creatures set. So many possibilities!

Thank you so much for visiting today! See you next Thursday!

Summer Picnic & Comfy Creatures Monkey Shaker Card with Lindsey

Hi!  Lindsey here today sharing a fun shaker card combining two adorable sets, Comfy Creatures and Summer Picnic. These two sets work so well together. I mean, who better to go on a fun picnic than some adorable critters. My card features two cute little monkeys having a tree top picnic. Let's get started on how I created this card.

To get started, I stamped the tree from Summer Picnic three times in a row. I only stamped the top of the tree because that's where I wanted the monkeys to have their picnic. I had to mask the tree in the middle, so I could overlap the tree top on either side. I colored the tree tops with Copic markers and fussy cut the tree panel out. Next I stamped two of the sitting critter bodies from Comfy Creatures. Then, I stamped one of each of the cute little monkey faces on top of the bodies. I also stamped two soda bottles for the monkeys to enjoy at their picnic. I colored all the images with Copic markers. I fussy cut the monkeys and used the coordinating die from Summer Picnic for the soda bottles. 

In order to create a shaker card I needed a frame, so I cut one from some Kraft cardstock. I then attached a piece of acetate behind the frame so you could see thru to the background and shaker bits. I attached all of my colored images to the front of the frame on top of the acetate and Kraft cardstock. I just used a tape runner for everything except the soda bottle in the front. I popped it up with a little foam tape. For the background, I used a piece of white cardstock that I blended some blue print distress ink on. I also added my sentiment from Summer Picnic and some stars from the Star Border die. 

I added a double layer of foam tape to the back of the frame panel and layed it on top of my background panel which had the shaker bits laying on top of it. By doing this, I trapped the sequins and beads inside so they could now move around. 

That's it for me today! I hope you'll check back to the blog for more inspiration, and I can't wait to see what ideas you come up with. Have a great day!

Summer Picnic: Relax Card with Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here!   It's another tuesday and I am here to show you another card! This week we are featuring the cute set Summer Picnic.

This set is so versatile! It has all the yummy food in it but also this beautiful tree I knew I wanted to use for this card.  And the cute little apple is just the little extra a card needs. I love that Mendi adds those smiley faces to a lot of her sets. That's so cute and I was able to make my apple smile!

As always I started by stamping, coloring and fussy cutting the tree and the apple from the set. To create a "stage" for the tree I cut a banner from white cardstock, To make it a little bit more interesting I used the Fishtail Banners dies. They are so great, don't you think? And the scalloped one is my favorite.

I added some ink blending in green for the grass and in turquoise for the sky!

I adhered the banner to my card base and finished the card with some faux stitching.

Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week.
