I have been busy creating all sorts of cards using four brand new stamp sets that will be released on July 1st.  Make sure to tune in next week for some sneak peeks and again the last week of June for our special inspiration week with prizes each day leading up to the official release!  

I'm also conducting a survey on ink pads and would like to know when it comes to dye inks if you prefer felt or foam pads.  I hope you will give me your feedback using the poll in the top left corner.  I'm looking at adding a line of inks in the future.  Currently I'm leaning towards using a dense foam pad, but I want to make sure I'm not alone in my love for them.   Feel free to comment and leave me more of an explanation too.   ;)

In the meantime I hope you will continue to tag us with the hashtag #sunnystudiostamps and share your beautiful projects with us on Instagram, our facebook page or in our flickr group!  

I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend!  :)

Tropical Paradise Wish You Were Here Flamingo Card with Lexa

Happy Fri-YAY everyone!

Lexa here with a color block shaker card for today. Let's take a look for more details about it right now..

I started my card with a 4.25" x 5.5" eggplant cardstock and arranged various sized heart dies to make a window for my shaker card. It gives a little twist instead of a regular shape for the window. Those flamingos from Tropical Paradise are in looove. I made diagonal stripes on the background with a stencil and pink pigment ink and added a mix of pink sequins to match the flamingos and the hearts..sweet! I also cut two stripes of blue cardstock with the Wavy Border Dies as the water for they stand. The yellow flower and 'wish you were here' sentiment are from Island Getaway.

I don't usually use colored backgrounds for my cards, but usually prefer a white and clean background most of the time. But... now that I've made one, I kinda like how it turned out. What do you think? Please let me know in the comment section below.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!

Tropical Paradise Watercolored Flamingo Card with Vanessa

Hi everyone! Vanessa here with a flamingo card using Tropical Paradise. 

I've seen many pretty patterns with flamingos everywhere and wanted to create my own on a card with a messy watercolor look.

I stamped the flamingos repeatedly onto a panel of watercolor paper and messily colored them with Peerless Watercolors. Now I added spritzes of ink and adhered the panel to my pink card base. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it with foam tape. Then I die-cut stars from pink and gold glitter cardstock and adhered them, together with gold sequins.

This technique can be used for many images, the possibilities are endless! I hope you liked today's card! 

Thanks for stopping by :)

Tropical Paradise & Island Getaway Aloha card by Lindsey

Hi, Lindsey here today with a card featuring Island Getaway and Tropical Paradise. This card has me wishing I was headed to Hawaii! There are so many cute images in both of these stamp sets, and they work really well together also!  Let's get started!

To begin, I cut a piece of black and white patterned paper to an A2 size. I then cut a solid piece of pink cardstock to 5 1/2" x 3 3/4". This left a quarter of an inch of the striped paper showing on either side of the pink cardstock. Finally, I cut a piece of white cardstock to 5 1/2" x 3 1/2". I did my stamping on the white panel. I simply picked out some tropical images from each set that I thought looked cute together. I then arranged them on my white cardstock and stamped them down. I colored the images using Copic markers. I tried to use lighter shades for this card to keep it nice and airy. I outlined all the images using a light blue Copic marker and added some Wink of Stella for a little shine! 

That's it! This card was fun to make because I got to use so many cute images from both sets. Keep checking back to the blog for more inspiration. I hope I've inspired you to try your own collage card. I can't wait to see what you create! Have a great day!

Tropical Paradise - Cheers to you by Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here!   Today's card features the great summer set Tropical Paradise and the matching die set! I love this set because of all the yummy cocktails in it.

I started with some ink blending through a swirl stencils which reminds me of waves in the ocean. I used a very soft turquoise ink and a very light hand.  I stamped the images with Versafine and embossed them with clear embossing powder. Once again I used watercolors to color the images, it seems I get used to them. To ground the images I stamped the sentiment on a stripe of paper and positioned the glasses on it. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week!
