Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Karin Akesdotter

Hi everyone! It's Karin Akesdotter here from Peppermintpatty's Papercraft. I'm so excited to share a new card that I've created with Sunny Studio Stamp's spring 2018 release!

I made a panel by layering striped and polka dot paper. I also added a lacy edged die cut using the Stitched Scallop dies. I die cut the Wishes Word die from white cardstock and adhered a few layers of that to create dimension.

I then stamped, colored and die cut the adorable ballerinas and some sweet roses before adhering them to the card with foam adhesive and adhesive tape. Finally I made a card base and adhered the panel to it with foam adhesive.

For this card I matted a white card base with green polka dot patterned paper and then die cut a panel from Neenah solar white cardstock. I stamped my cats and then masked them so I could ink the background. 

When I was done inking I spattered the background before I removed the masking. I used Copics for the coloring and then added some adhesive dots. I adhered the panel to the card using foam adhesive.

I made a panel from striped paper and adhered it to a scalloped black card base. I also added a lacy edge die cut with Stitched Scallop dies. I die cut the Wishes Word die from white cardstock and adhered a few layers of that to create dimension.

I then stamped, colored and fuzzy cut the adorable ballerina, two pairs of ballerina shoes and some sweet roses before adhering them to the card with foam adhesive and adhesive tape. Finally I made a card base and adhered the panel to it with foam adhesive.

Tiny Dancers Hexagon Stamped Background Card with Lexa

Hey guys! Lexa here today with a card that highlighting Tiny Dancers Stamps and the coordinating dies, I mix it with other stamps and dies collection too. Let's get started right away.

I just can't get enough of this Tiny Dancers, they are the cutest! You must knew it by how often I use them on my cards. I stamped each of them with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring, I use the coordinating dies to die cut the images. Never forget to add more glitters on their tutus with some Stickles. 

I got a better idea than using patterned paper as my background, I make one with Quilted Hexagons Stamps. First I stamped the dashed quide lines with espresso dye ink and fill in each hexagons with different patterns. You can match each hexagons with your own color palette... just how wonderful that is.

I framed each ballerinas with Fancy Frames Square Dies and create the backgrounds using Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick, Evergreen Bough and Spiced Marmalade. I use silver foiled paper to die cut the Sparkle Word Die and add some glitter to add more spark. The sentiment to complete my card is from Born To Sparkle Stamps. Last but not least, I add some flat clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh here and there. I'm so happy with the result, it's colorful and encouraging at the same time.

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

Team Player Sports Themed Birthday Card with Vanessa

Hi there! Vanessa here today with a sports themed card using Team Player. Honestly, I am not good at making cards for men. But this fantastic stamp set makes it easy to create them!

For my card, I started with a panel of white greyish cardstock and stamped the images from the set with very light grey ink all over it. After I had adhered the piece to the card, I stamped the ball images from the set onto white cardstock, colored them with Copics and fussy-cut them. I adhered the images, using foam tape for more dimension.

Now I stamped and heat-embossed my sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock, combining the "happy birthday!" from Polar Playmates with the "have a ball!" from the Team Player set. I trimmed the strips and adhered them to the card. Finally, I added wood veneer stars.

I might start to enjoy making masculine cards :) Thank you for visiting today!

Rain Showers Framed Cattitude Card with Franci

Hi there and happy Wednesday! Franci here with you today with two little cards featuring the new Rain Showers mini stamp set.

First, I stamped the Rain Showers stamp twice with Distress Oxide inks to create an ombrè effect, and also added some orange in one of the two. Then I stamped my little cats, from the Purrfect Birthday set, and their accessories with Memento black ink, colored them with Copics, and die cut them with their coordinating dies.

I die cut two of the new Fancy Frame Squares out of a piece of light grey cardstock and also some of the little hearts with the little die that's free with every order out of some white cardstock. Then I colored the little hearts in pink. I die cut a stitched rectangle twice out of some white cardstock and created two light grey colored coordinated card bases.

I glued my stamped rain showers behind the frames to create a window effect and assembled all the cards. I glued down those little cats and all the decorations and added some Wink of Stella here and there to make my scenes sparkle!!

Hope you like my cards and thank you so much for stopping by! Have a lovely day!

Birthday Balloons Window Balloon Cascade Card with Nancy

Hey there Sunny fans, Nancy here today with a look at the Birthday Balloons stamp set. This set is ready with everything you need for a beautiful birthday greeting. Add a window shape and a cascade of balloons for a custom greeting.

To create this card, start with a white cardstock background with a heart window. On a separate sheet of white cardstock, trace the heart shape to create a stamping guideline. Fill the heart shape with alternating balloon shapes in pink, yellow, lilac and navy. 

Next, stamp the birthday sentiment on black cardstock and emboss with white embossing pattern. Cut a diagonal tail off of the strip and place a heart epoxy embellishment on the end. Add tiny enamel dots to some of the balloon for some texture.

This small stamp set packs a mighty birthday punch! It has several tiny sentiments and a bold, beautiful birthday title that is so very versatile!
