Hello everyone! It's Ana here today and I am so excited to be sharing my first post as a Sunny Studio Design Team member! For today's post I made a birthday card featuring adorable Best Fishes stamps and coordinating dies, as well as Catch a Wave dies and Summer Splash patterned paper.

I started with creating the background with waves patterned paper from Summer Splash collection, trimming it to A2 size. To create the waves, I used Catch a Wave dies then added Snow Pen to add white caps. On the bottom half of the background panel I inked Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers Distress inks.

I created the sand next, by inking Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry Distress inks on Bristol paper and die cutting them with sandy beach border die from Oceans of Joy die set.

For the sky, I inked Salty Ocean then used Fluffy Clouds Dies to add the stitched clouds.

I stamped and Copic colored the images from Best Fishes stamp set, and few (rock, green plant and coral) from Magical Mermaids stamp set. Once all images were colored, I used coordinating dies to cut them out. To an A2 size card base I adhered the waves and sand panels, using craft foam.

I stamped the sentiment (from Best Fishes stamp set) next, then added the images adhering some directly to the background and some with foam tape.

To finish off the card I added bubbles with white Pigment ink, and embellished with Nuvo drops in Morning Dew.

Copic markers: sharks – BV04, BV13, BV02, BV31, B01, B00; V17, V15, V12, V01; marlin – B05, B02, B01, B00, YG41; clown fish – R37, R35, R14, CG01; puffer – G02, YG41, G00, Y11, Y00; crab – G05, G02, YG41; crab – Y02, Y11, Y00, R22, YR61, R20; rock -Y11, Y00, WG5, WG3, WG1; starfish – BG45, BG01, BG00; Y02, Y11, Y00; V17, V15, V01; I used the same color combinations for all the plants.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I hope you're having a wonderful day!

Fluffy Clouds Cards with Lexa and Rachel

Hi everyone! Lexa here today with a scenic card using Fluffy Clouds Dies. I personally love these dies so much. It's so versatile that you can use it all year around with any theme especially outdoor scenes like I did with mine today. Let's get started!

The images are stamped with Versafine black ink and watercolored with Distress Markers. I used the pine trees from Seasonal Trees Stamps for the forest background. For my focal point image I used the cuddling little foxes from Foxy Christmas Stamps and I also added a tiny red bow on the smaller fox. Aren't they so adorable? After finished with the coloring I used the coordinating dies to cut out all the images. I make the foxes sit on a tree trunk.

As for the sky, I used the stitched cloud shapes several times on the top part of my card. I also cut some white fluffy clouds to add dimension. For my sky I blended Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feather Distress Inks and used Mowed Lawn Distress Ink for the grass. I then adhered the pine trees with glue in the background. I used the orange patterned paper from Amazing Argyle Paper Pad to match the orange foxes. My last step was to stamp the "hello" sentiment on a piece of fishtail banner.

That's all for today, I hope you enjoy today's post and have an amazing day!

Hello, crafty friends! It's Rachel here and I have a birthday card to share with you that features the new Fluffy Clouds Die Set. I love how you have the option to die cut a cloud from card stock or just add gorgeous cloud stitching as a subtle effect to your card.

I chose to do both today. As you can see in the photos, there are some stitched outlines of clouds that lightly cover the background. I also added a few puffy white clouds to pop out on the ink-blended sky.

I started by stamping my images from both the Love Monkey and A Bird's Life Stamp Sets with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I then used some Copic Sketch Markers to color everything. I used the coordinating Love Monkey and A Bird's Life dies to cut them out.

For my background, I blended some Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac, and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Inks onto some smooth white card stock. I then splattered this image with some water and blotted it dry with a clean paper towel after letting it sit for a minute. I also splattered this panel with some diluted Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Ink and Opaque White Paint for some added interest.

Once this panel was dry, I then began to die cut my stitched-only clouds into the background. I added my white puffy clouds and die cut images to the front of my card with some 3D Foam Adhesive Squares to give them some dimension. Lastly, I heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto a strip of black card stock.

I hope you enjoyed my card today! Thanks so much for dropping by! Have a wonderful weekend!

Wrap Around Box Projects with Vanessa and Anja

Hi everyone! Vanessa here with my take on the Wrap Around Box Dies. I haven't used the City Street Stamps for ages and thought they would fit perfectly for a box full of sweet treats:

I die-cut the box parts from light aqua cardstock and the front panels from pink cardstock. Now I added patterned paper from the Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper pad to the top portions and assembled the box. I die-cut the Sweet Word Die from the same patterned paper and from black cardstock, layered the pieces and adhered the word. Then I stamped the sentiment from Sweet Shoppe Stamps onto a strip of black cardstock, heat-embossed it, notched the ends of the strip and adhered it.

Finally, I stamped the images onto white cardstock, colored them with Copics, die-cut everything with the matching dies and adhered the elements to the box with foam tape.

I love this box die, it's perfect for giving little treats! Thank you for visiting today, enjoy the Sneak Peek Week next week :)

Hi everyone, Anja here and today I don't have a card for you but a fun little treat box made with the Wrap Around Gift Box Dies. I really like that with a bit of measuring and precise cutting, you only need one sheet of 8.5" x 11" cardstock for the box.

I decorated it with the two mini stamp sets Coastal Cuties and Sending Sunshine. I also used the Catch A Wave Dies and some patterned papers from the Summer Splash 6x6 Paper pack to turn it into summer project (although it is actually too hot for chocolate at the moment).

I stamped the sweet girl, the palm tree and the parrot in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copics. To cut out the images, I used the coordinating dies. I also die cut a small gift tag, stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and white heat embossed it.

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you soon with new projects using some fab goodies from the upcoming fall release.

Surprise Party Cards with Franci and Mona

Hello there and happy Wednesday! Franci here with you today with a couple of clean and simple hello cards.

It's super, super hot here and I have no air conditioning. So not the best to sit and craft! Ha! So I made a bunch of cards that are cute, colorful and quick to make.

First of all I created my card base out of white cardstock and added dry embossed details with my scoring board. Then I cut out a little rectangle out of this bright rainbow pattern paper included in the Surprise Party set and die cut the Hello in the center.

I kept all the little inside pieces and glued the negative down with foam tape. I love this style! I added some sparkling sequins and I repeated every step to make multiple cards.

Hope you like them and thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hi crafty friends! It's Mona here, today I am showing you my last project as a design team member. I hope you will love it. Because of summer I thought that today I am going to show you a child friendly memory game project, so you can craft together a puzzle game.

My project for today is super easy-peasy. I made a couple of popsicles with the coordinating die of the Perfect Popsicles stamp set and the Surprise Party Paper.

I chose colorful papers and I made stamp layering on a few of them where I used color matching ink pad, so I could create the tone in tone look. I just embellished a few popsicles with another paper from the collection.

To the back of my popsicles I chose a rainbow dotted paper from the Surprise Party Paper pad and adhered it to the back.

I think this project would be soo much fun for every child, and when its done you can play with your own handmade game in the summer. 

I am extremely thankful for all your sweet and kind comments for this half year, if you want to see my other inspirations feel free to follow me. Big crafty hugs, bye.
