Crisp Autumn Cards with Mayra

Hello everyone, happy October!!! Mayra here with you today. I am sharing this card using the lovely new Crisp Autumn stamp set. 

I began with stamping the layers for each of the pumpkins, and leaves.  I used the Pinkfresh Studios Indian Summer ink set. I also used Lawn Fawn ink, the colors I used were Carrot, Fake Tan, and Pumpkin Spice. For the leaves, I used Bundled Sage (Distress Oxide), Cilantro, Artichoke, and Noble Fir Lawn Fawn inks. 

Next, I die cut the base panel using the large stitched rectangle from the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil die set.  I then die-cut the layers to create the house for the autumn scene using the Gingerbread House die set. Then, I used the grass die from the Picket Fence die set to die cut the grassy layer. Next, I used the hill die from the Slimline Nature Borders die set to create the ground layer. I then heat embossed the sentiment from the set and used foam tape to adhere it to the card. 

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you very much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Leanne West

Hello Sunny Studio Fans! Leanne here and I'm happy to be guesting again on the blog. Let's talk about stamp set mash ups. It's my favorite way to get more out of my stamps. Especially when I can use different sets together that at first glance may not be an obvious mix. 

I have two cards to share today which demonstrate how well Sunny Studio stamps can mash up in unexpected ways.  

For my Halloween card I wanted to use a princess image from Enchanted and transform her into a witch. With the witch hat and caldron from Bewitching, I was able to accomplish just that.  

Copics used: V12, V15, V17, E00, E21, R00, E41, E43, YG11, FYG2, YR21, YR12, YR16, N2, N4, N6

I've also added in some pumpkins from Fall Friends. The background is an ink blend mix of Carved Pumpkin, Ripe Persimmon, and Dusty Concord Distress Oxides. I've framed up the scene with the Fancy Frames Squares. 

For my second card, I created an apple orchard scene combining two really great sets - Fall Friends and Happy Harvest. I just love the tree from Happy Harvest. It fits so nicely on this vertical mini slimline format. 

Copics used: R00, R22, R27, E41, E42, E43, E44, E33, E35, Y32, Y26, G11, G17, B95, B97, N2, N4, N6, W2, W4, W6

And who doesn't love cute critters peeking out from behind things. Fall Friends has four to chose from and they could be used for more than just fall themes. I've made this card into a friendship card which can be sent any time of the year.

Fall Friends Cards with Audrey and Tammy

Hello friends! Audrey here with a Fall Friends card to share with you! 

To create my card, I started off with a piece of white cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25". I ink blended a teal ombre on the bottom 2/3 of the panel using Distress Oxide inks in Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers. To ground my scene, I added a piece of knit paper from the Sweater Weather patterned paper pad. Then, I stamped and colored images from the adorable Fall Friends stamp set, and die cut them with the coordinating Fall Friends Dies. I arranged my scene on the bottom of the panel, with some pieces glued flat with glue pen and others popped up for added dimension. 

For my sentiment, I used a combination of stamps and dies. I die cut the Thank You Words Die three times from white cardstock and glued them together. Underneath that, I stamped a sentiment from the Words of Gratitude stamp set onto a white banner, and finished off the sentiment with a tiny clay heart.

Hi there! Tammy here with this sweet Fall themed slimline card, featuring the adorable set, Fall Friends. 

To begin, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock using the Stitched Mat Die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. I blended some Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks onto the background, then added a grassy border cut from the Slimline Nature Borders Dies I ink blended the grassy border using Scattered Straw and Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide inks. 

Next, I stamped the images from Fall Friends, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Fall Friends Dies. I arranged the colored images onto my card using foam tape on some for dimension. I then stamped a sentiment from Harvest Mice onto a strip of white cardstock with marmalade ink. Lastly, I adhered the background to a dark kraft Slimline Scalloped Frame, then onto a white card base to complete my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!!

Words of Gratitude Cards with Marine and Anja

Hey crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be on the blog today with this lovely pop-up scene at the pumpkin patch. My all time favorite thing is to create cute scenes, and I like to pick my images from lots of stamp sets to help me build the idea I have in mind. 

So here are the sets I used:

Words of Gratitude - to create my sentiment in three parts
Fall Kiddos - three kids
Happy Harvest - pumpkins + sunflowers
Fall Friends - wooden cart
Harvest Mice - more pumpkins
Farm Fresh - two crows
Picket Fence - grass border

I stamped all the images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the coordinating dies and then colored everything using my alcohol markers.

Once the coloring was done, I cut a panel using the center picture window die set by Lawn Fawn and created an autumn sky using dried marigold, kitsch flamingo, picked raspberry and seedless preserves oxide inks. I blended those inks on the top section of the panel, and then added lots of texture to that background to bring more interest to it.

Next I created an identical panel that will go on the front of the card, and cut a window out of it using an oval shape die. I folded the main panel in half, flipped it upside down, lined up the window panel with the bottom section of the main panel, applied glue right on the blank section in the middle, and then attached the oval shape right on that blank spot. And next I stuck foam squares at the back of the window panel that I attached on the bottom section of the main panel to frame the oval shape.

I colored the inside bottom section of the panel using frayed burlap oxide ink, and cut two small grass borders, using a die from Picket Fence, that I colored using the same ink. I stuck one of these on the outside of the card and the other one on the inside of the card. And next I attached a few images on the front of the card using liquid glue and foam squares.

Next I moved on to the inside of the card and before creating the pop-up mechanism, I attached all the images I wanted to see in the background.

For the pop-up mechanism, it's always easier to understand with images so I invite you to watch the video below to see how it was made. Basically I created two rows of pop-up sections: on the middle section I attached the wooden cart full of pumpkins and sunflowers with a kid on top, and one the front section I stuck a line of pumpkins and sunflowers with a kid on the left side and a crow on the right.

At the end I created my sentiment in three parts using Words Of Gratitude: the first part says 'Thank you' and goes on the front of the card, and the second and third parts go on the inside and say 'for always being there' and '& always being you'. And finally I added lots of highlights and details on the images and autumn sky using a white gel pen.

And that's it! I hope you like this sweet little scene at the pumpkin patch. Right above is the process video (just click on the image) so feel welcome to check it out! See you soon for another Sunny Studio project!

Hi everyone, Anja here and today's focus is on the Word of Gratitude Stamps which are perfect to simply say Thank You in many different ways.

I combined the largest of the Stitched Rectangle Dies with the Frilly Frames Chevron background and die cut it from white cardstock. I also die cut the chevrons from three colors of cardstock and alternately inlaid them. I adhered the chevron background with a piece of fun foam to the white A2 card base.

The sentiment was stamped in two colors onto a white stitched cardstock circle. I additionally heat embossed the pink words 'thank you' with clear embossing powder. Next, I die cut a couple of Winter Greenery sprigs from white cardstock and adhered them behind the sentiment circle which I popped up with foam tape. To embellish the card, I added three Iridescent Pearls in matching colors.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a fabulous day!
