Born To Sparkle Glittered Balloon Card with Vanessa

Hello everybody! Vanessa here today with a colorful card using Born To Sparkle with the Bold Balloons stamp set.

I think this balloon set is one of the best layering stamps set ever, don't you agree? Here I dressed up one of my balloons with glitter embossing powder for the right amount of sparkle.

First, I inked the top of my cardstock panel lightly with blue ink and applied tiny ink droplets. After I had adhered the panel to the card, I stamped and die-cut the balloons with the coordinating dies. Now I heat-embossed the blue balloon with the glitter embossing powder and adhered the images to the card. I drew the strings with a pencil and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of blue cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it. 

Then I heat-embossed a piece of blue cardstock with the glitter embossing powder and die-cut the "sparkle" from it. I layered it with a word die-cut from fun foam and adhered it to my card.

I hope you like today's inspiration! Thank you for stopping by!

Team Player Masculine Sports Themed Birthday Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here today and for today's card I'll be using the Team Player stamp set to create a masculine Birthday card. I love this set for this purpose, because it's so great for any guy in your life and it's super hard to come across a perfect masculine themed stamp set and this one, if your guy or son loves sports - it's perfect.

To begin my card today, I first started off with a piece of watercolour paper and created a watercolour background using some Distress Inks. I first smooshed down some Squeezed Lemonade onto some acetate, spritzed it with water and smooshed it down onto my background. I then dried it slightly and moved onto Mustard Seed, repeated the same process and finished with Wild Honey. I just repeated these steps until I was happy with the results. I then dried it background completely and moved onto my images. I stamped down the stars, trophy and basketball and coloured them up with Copic Markers. I cut them out using the coordinating dies and set them off to the side. For my sentiment, I cut a banner from some green cardstock and a banner from some black cardstock in two different sizes. I then stamped 'Slam Dunk' onto the green banner and white heat embossed the 'Hope Your Birthday Is' sentiment onto the black. I then used some red Copic markers to colour in the letters on the 'Slam Dunk' piece.

Once all my elements were ready, I first adhered my green banner down with some foam tape, then adhered the basketball and trophy on top of the banner. Next, I added my stars down onto the background of my card, scattered like I would sequins and then also adhered my black banner on top of the green as well. I adhered the entire panel to a card base and my card was complete. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I'll catch you next time.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Debbie Olson

Good morning! Debbie Olson here, privileged to be a guest of Sunny Studio today! When Mendi shared the Sunny Studio new release, I knew that I’d love playing with it; so today I have cards using the Breakfast Puns and Tiny Dancers stamp sets to share.

First up is Breakfast Puns - and there are SO many fun possibilities in this stamp set! I read all of the sentiments and still couldn’t decide upon just one or two, so I chose several of them, keeping the images relating to the sentiment in the center of my card. I stamped the images in Memento Rich Cocoa ink, colored them with Copic markers, cut them out with their coordinating dies, and airbrushed a hint of BG53 in the background to make the images stand out more. I stamped my chosen sentiment combination, and then used foam tape to pop up the images. The background is really simple—more images from Breakfast Puns stamped close together in a kraft colored ink to create a subtle background.

Shown below are the Copic markers that I used to color the Breakfast Puns images.

Next I have a Tiny Dancers card to share. Do you have children or grandchildren who are aspiring ballerinas?  Then you might need this one—it’s is a darling stamp set!  I made a smaller card for this one, 3-1/2” x 5” so that my focal ballerina would still be fairly large on the card base.

Here is the inside of my card. As you can see, the focal image is actually on the inside of this card rather than the outside. I masked off the same size circle that I had die-cut on the front and airbrushed a simple background with my Copic markers. The Tiny Dancer is popped up on foam tape so that she sticks up a bit through the window.

Shown below are the Copic markers that I used to color the Tiny Dancers image. I kept her hair smooth rather than textured just because she is pretty small. I used a glue pen to add some glitter to the tutu, lightening it and giving it some texture.

Honestly, the only challenging part was gluing on those sequins—not one of my wiser choices in life, but I did like them after I finished! (Be smart—use a frame die instead.)

Thank you so much, Mendi and Sunny Studio Stamps, for letting me be a guest!

Breakfast Puns Origami Fold Love Themed Card with Lexa

Hello there! Lexa here today with a love card that has a lot of puns, inside and out. I used the brand new Breakfast Puns stamps and the coordinating dies. This stamp set will be loved by everyone, as puns are so much fun and the images are super cute!

I used tone on tone for the background, stamping the images with walnut dye ink on kraft paper. When you can't decide which one you will use for the projects, just use them all! Just like I did for this one. This is also my first time to try the origami fold to create a pop up card. Surprisingly it was super easy and simple, you can find the tutorial on YouTube. Everyone can do it.

I used different colors for each panels by blending some Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick, Seedless Mustard, Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac. It turned out super cute and colorful, and I just love it. All the images are stamped with Versafine black ink and watercolored with Distress markers. I matched the images with the puns sentiments. What a fun love card with so many puns sentiments in it. 

Here's a closer look, both inside and the glossy jam on top of the toast on the front.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you like today's card as much as I do. Have a great day everyone!

Purrfect Birthday Watercolor Happy Birthday Card with Vanessa

Hi everybody! Vanessa here with a happy watercolor Purrfect Birthday card. I just can't get enough of the adorable cats, they are the cutest!

I first created my background by picking up wet watercolor with foil and tabbing/smudging it onto the paper until I was satisfied with the result. After the colors were dried, I adhered the panel to my card. Now I stamped all the images onto white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut everything with the matching dies.

Then I adhered the images to the card and drew the strings of the balloons. I stamped the sentiment from Tiny Dancers onto a strip of cardstock, adhered it with foam tape and finished the card off with sequins.

I would love to attend this party, how about you? Thanks for stopping by today!!
