Guest Designer Spotlight: North Pole Cards with Kelly Lunceford

Hi friends! It's Kelly Lunceford here today and I am thrilled to be guest designing using the latest Sunny Studio Stamps release! I'm sharing three holiday projects with you that I'm super excited about! First up is this fun North Pole scene using Santa and Mrs. Claus! The Winter Scenes stamp set is perfect to create charming scenes all winter long! I stamped it in black and then colored it with an assortment of alcohol markers in blues, reds, and greens to create a festive look!

I created the background by blending Distress Oxide inks in two shades of blue: Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans. The addition of white paint splatter creates the illusion of snowflakes falling in the background. I die cut the Winter Scenes using the coordinating dies and added it to the background panel using foam squares for optimum dimension. I always love adding some coarse crystal glitter to many of my holiday designs which I did here on the trees, roof tops, and snow drifts!

Santa and Mrs. Claus are from the super sweet North Pole stamp set and they look so cute all decked out in their holiday finest! I added them to the bottom of the panel using additional foam squares to really make them pop! Mrs. Claus has two dots of Crystal Glaze over the top of her glasses for a realistic touch. I chose the sentiment that works perfectly with Santa's nice list and added it to the top of the snowy sky panel. A few sparkling clear sequins here and there finish off this little scene!

I had so much fun working on the first card, I decided that if I cut the Winter Scenes image in half, it would make two perfect tags! I colored it exactly the same way as the first card for ease, and then cut it straight in half and added them to two tags cut from Classic Gingham pattern paper.

I chose to use Santa on the first tag, all set with his list in hand and stamped the sentiment directly at the top using black ink. I love making all kinds of handmade tags for the season to dress up all of my packages and treats! If you're not a tag maker, you could use this same design and add it to a card base for a fun look.

Mrs. Claus is accented with a plate of Christmas cookies, which I'm sure taste delicious! ha ha! I love this sentiment that says "Spreading Christmas Cheer"...it will be perfect to package up all of the sweets and treats I love to make during the holidays!

My final project for today uses the playful elves from the North Pole stamp set. They were just screaming for something fun and whimsical, so I chose to use them in a way similar to something you might find on holiday wrapping paper! I stamped each one twice so I would have lots of options and colored them with alcohol markers. 

I love the play on words with this sentiment, which is just perfect for this design. I used my mini MISTI for ease in alignment and precision. I cut it out and added it to the pink Classic Gingham background using foam squares. From there I was able to add the elves in all different directions for a playful look!

I was thrilled to find that I could use the excess heads or feet that were trimmed off by adding them to a different portion of the card. I added in a few die cut gifts and the North Pole sign as filler! Each of the jingle bells on their hats got a dot of Crystal Glaze for some dimension and shine! Once I had them all arranged like I wanted, I added some White Nuvo drops here and there for a pop of added detail!

I had a lot of fun working on these three projects and I'm happy to add them to my growing stash of holiday projects! Working on Christmas is a year-long affair for me, so I'm always in the mood for Christmas! It will be here before we know it! Have a wondeful day and thanks for joining me today!

Bountiful Autumn Cards with Rachel and Candice

Hello friends! Rachel here with a Thanksgiving card that features the new and adorable Bountiful Autumn Stamp Set

Sunny Studio Stamps: Bountiful Autumn Stitched Arch Dies Thanksgiving Card by Rachel Alvarado

To start, I first stamped all of my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock, colored them with Copic markers, and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I then set them aside to work on my card background.

I trimmed a piece of smooth white card stock to 4.25" x 5.5" and masked the edges with some tape. Next, I blended this piece with some Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Carved Pumpkin, and Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide Inks. I then splattered this blend with both water as well as diluted white, orange, brown, and gold paint.

I set this piece aside to dry and then die cut another piece of white card stock using both the outer die of the Frilly Frames Retro Petals Die Set as well as the largest die from the Stitched Arch Dies Set. I adhered this piece on top of my ink-blended base and then stamped my sentiment with black ink. Lastly, I added my images with both 3D Foam Adhesive Tape as well as some with liquid adhesive.

Thank you all so much for stopping by! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Hello my crafty friends! Candice with you today super excited to start sharing the new release with you! I am beginning with the wonderful Bountiful Autumn set which is full of images to mix and match and I used it to create a table of Thanksgiving!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Bountiful Autumn Slimline Dies Thank You Card by Candice Fisher

I used these new release products for my card:

I began my slimline card with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base which works great with the new slimline dies from this release! For my background, I first die cut the stitched slimline panel and inked it with peeled paint, crushed olive & shabby shutters. I then die cut the scalloped border and cut it again with the same stitched slimline die I used for the panel to line them up and inked with rusty hinge.

Next, I stamped all my images from the Bountiful Autumn stamp set onto watercolor paper, colored with Zig clean color markers, and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I set them aside and created my sentiment by die cutting the "thank you" multiple times and inked the top layer with rusty hinge & brushed corduroy. I glued it to the card and added the banner to the center. I then arranged the images on the top of the scalloped border adhering with either glue or foam tape for dimension. To finish I added some of the iridescent pearls for a bit of shine!

Thank you so much for visiting!

Slimline Die Focused Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with my first card using the fabulous new release! I am delighted about the slimline dies, because I love this size for cardmaking. For today's card I used the Slimline Scalloped Frame:

Sunny Studio Stamps: Slimline Dies Penquin Pals Winter Themed Birthday Card by Vanessa Menhorn

I first created my card base, die-cutting the scalloped frame twice from white cardstock and assembling both pieces at the top edge. Then I die-cut the stitched panel from white cardstock, inked it with pink and blue Distress Inks and adhered the panel to the card. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Slimline Dies Penquin Pals Winter Themed Birthday Card by Vanessa Menhorn

I stamped the cute penguins and the balloons from Penguin Pals onto white cardstock, colored everything with Copics, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered the pieces to the card with foam tape. Now I drew the strings with a black marker and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock before adhering it to the card.

These cute little fellas make me happy! I hope you, too! Thank you for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!

----------------------------------------------

Hello everyone, Anja here and I'm so happy to share my first project using some of the brand new Fall and Winter Release products. Today I'm featuring the new line of slimeline dies. I picked the Slimline Scalloped Frame die and one of the Slimline Nature Borders Dies.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Slimline Dies Harvest Mice Fall Themed Birthday Card by Anja Bytyqi

First, I die cut the pretty scalloped frame from Kraft cardstock and adhered it to a white top-folding card base that measures 8 11/16" x 3 5/8". To create a little scene, I did some ink blending with Distress Oxides on Bristol cardstock. For the sunset sky, I used Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Carved Pumpkin and Ripe Persimmon. The curved grassy border was ink blended with Bundled Sage and Mowed Lawn.

Next, I stamped the images from the sweet Harvest Mice set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. The solid cornstalk images were stamped in Hero Arts Lime to Forever Green Ombré Ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and assembled my card using liquid glue.

Finally, I stamped the birthday sentiment in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock banner and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I had so much fun creating this cute harvest scene!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you an awesome day!

Little Buckaroo Cards & Video Tutorial with Christy & Ana

Hello, hello crafty friends! It’s Ana today sharing a card showcasing new super adorable Little Buckaroo stamps and coordinating dies.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Little Buckaroo Slimline Dies Fancy Frames Friendship Card by Ana Anderson

For my card today I decided to create a little cowboy farm scene ðŸ˜Š I started with stamping the cowboy and cowgirl (from Little Buckaroo stamps) and a barn, bales of hay and little chicks (from Barnyard Buddies set), colored them with Copic markers and cut them out.

I created clouds by die cutting 3 shades of blue/teal cardstock with cloud die from new Slimline Nature borders die set, and layered them together. I used the same Slimline Nature borders dies to create grassy hills, cutting them out of green cardstock and adding some shading with dark green ink.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Little Buckaroo Slimline Dies Fancy Frames Friendship Card by Ana Anderson

I created the sunset in the background by ink blending Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey and Fired Brick distressed inks. On a piece of 4 x 5” cardstock, I adhered the ink blended sky, added the die cut clouds and grassy hills, then added the images.

I stamped the sentiment (from Little Buckaroo) with black ink and framed the scene with a scalloped stitched rectangle which I die cut with the large Fancy Frames Rectangle die.

These little buckaroos are just too cute for words and I just love how adorable this card turned out! Thank you so much for joining us today, I will see you next week with more cuteness from the new fall/winter release!

---------------------------------------------------

Hello friends, it's Christy here with my first post for Sunny Studio! Today I've got a sweet card featuring Little BuckaroosFarm Fresh, and Harvest Mice. I stamped my images with brown ink to give them a storybook sort of feel, and colored them with Copics in a simple pastel color palette of pink, gray, yellow, and beige.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Little Buckaroo Farm Fresh Harvest Mice Frilly Frame Dies Autumn Themed Card by Christy Reuling

For the background, I added the tiniest hint of shading with just one marker and then "dirtied" it up a bit by adding some splatter effect with a dark brown ink. Proving that ranch girls can be delicate and dainty, or get down and dirty with the best of them!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Little Buckaroo Farm Fresh Harvest Mice Frilly Frame Dies Autumn Themed Card by Christy Reuling

I cut the center section of the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace out of pale pink cardstock and adhered it to the same color card base. I added my background panel across the center and blocked that in with two thin strips of gray cardstock. Then I framed the whole card with the largest Fancy Frames Rectangle popped up with foam tape, and staged the scene with my colored images.

If you'd like to see how this card came together, please check out my video tutorial below.
