Lovey Dovey Cards with Anja and Marine

Hi everyone, Anja here and I’m happy to share my first card made with some brand new Spring Release goodies. Today I’m featuring the Lovey Dovey set which comes with beautiful large love-themed sentiments. I picked the precious 'I love you to the moon and back' one and created a night scene around it.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Lovey Dovey Card by Anja Bytyqi (featuring Passionate Penquins, Cityscape Border Dies, Lovey Dovey)

First, I started off with the background and trimmed down a piece of white cardstock to a regular A2 size. I used the smallest of the Tim Holtz Moon Masks and created a radiant blend around the circle using Distress Oxide Inks (Salvaged Patina, Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot). I also added the moon texture with the stencil and a light touch of Pumice Stone ink. I let everything dry completely before stamping the sentiment inside the moon with VersaMark Ink. To create a shiny, translucent look I used Salvaged Patina Distress Embossing Glaze to heat emboss the sentiment.

Next, I die cut the Cityscape Border from black cardstock to mimic house silhouettes in the dark of the night. I also hand cut some yellow paper to go behind it for the tiny enlightened windows. For the ground I trimmed down a dark grey cardstock strip and adhered it as well as the cityscape to my ink blended background.

I fell in love with the new Passionate Penguins Stamps the first time I saw them – they are sooo cute! Of course I had to use them on my card ;-) I stamped the penguins in the car with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and did some Copic coloring. The image was die cut with the coordinating die and popped up using foam tape. Finally, I die cut three little hearts from pink cardstock and covered them with Glossy Accents.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a wonderful day!

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back on the blog with this adorable card showcasing two stamp sets from the new release: Little Birdie that features the cutest birds, and Lovey Dovey that includes sweet sentiments.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Lovey Dovey Card by Marine Simon (featuring Little Birdie, Lovey Dovey)

So as always I started by stamping and cutting all the images. I stamped most of the birds, as well as several branches and some tiny bows from Little Birdie using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, and I used my alcohol markers to color everything. For the leaves on the branches, I used two different green combos to bring some variation, and for the birds, I used aqua shades to turn them into fun tropical birds. But I think it would be fun to color them in yellow to create canaries or brown to create sparrows!

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches bristol panel to create the background. And I didn't want it to compete with the images and sentiment, so I went with a soft pink cloudy sky using a cloud stencil from my stash along with spun sugar and kitsch flamingo distress inks.

I white heat embossed my sentiment "You're so lovely" from Lovey Dovey on a dark pink cardstock and cut it using the coordinating die, and then I attached all my cute images and sentiment on the cloudy panel using 1mm foam squares.

Once everything was attached, I stamped a few hearts from Lovey Dovey here and there using worn oxide ink to coordinate with the sentiment, and then I glued a bunch of tiny heart confetti to bring shine and sparkle to this lovely card. I attached my panel on a light pink card base, and as always I finished my card by adding highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen.

Bursting Hearts Die Focused Cards with Franci and Gladys

Hi there! It's Franci here with you showcasing the new Bursting Hearts Dies set.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Bursting Hearts Die Card by Franci Vignoli (featuring Lovey Dovey, Little Birdie)

I started by creating a standard size cardbase out of white cardstock, then inked the front with Distress Inks and let it dry completely. I die cut the new background out of white cardstock and glued it down on the front.

I stamped all the little birds from the Little Birdie set, colored them with Copics and cut them out with their coordinated dies, then I did the same with my sentiment from the Lovely Dovey set. I adhered them all down with foam tape and finally I added some sequins to finish up my design. 

Thanks a lot for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Hi crafty friends, Gladys here and I'm thrilled to share my first project on the Sunny Studio blog. Let's begin.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Bursting Hearts Die Card by Gladys Marcelino (featuring Passionate Penquins, Chloe Alphabet Dies, Fancy Frame Dies)

I started by cutting an A2 size panel from a light pink cardstock. I blended distress oxide inks in shades of pink from lightest to darkest: kitsch flamingo, picked raspberry and seedless preserves. I splattered some white gouache and Gansai Tambi watercolor for interest. Next I embossed the Bursting Hearts die cover plate onto the inked panel but I decided to cut the Bursting Hearts die from the light pink cardstock and layer it onto panel using the embossed impression to line the hearts in place. 

I colored the penguins from the Passionate Penguins stamp set and cut them using their coordinating dies. My idea was to create a shaker card with the penguin couple under the umbrella. To do this I used the Fancy Frame Circle Dies several times from white cardstock. I glued them all together until I had enough height for the embellishments to move freely.

For the sentiment I thought the phrase "showering you with love" from the Spring Showers stamp set was perfect. I white heat embossed the first 3 words onto black cardstock and cut the letters l-o-v-e from the Chloe Alphabet dies out of red cardstock. Once I adhered all the elements onto the card panel I mounted it onto a top folding card base. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Quilted Hearts Die Focused Cards with Isha and Kavya

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had wonderful holidays. Isha here with a clean and simple card featuring the new Quilted Hearts Portrait Dies. I am sure you enjoyed the GORGEOUS creations by Mendi, featuring the new release last week.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Quilted Hearts Die Card by Isha Gupta (featuring Lovey Dovey, Little Birdie, Scalloped Heart Dies, Stitched Heart Dies)

I started by creating the background by sponging Abandoned coral, worn lipstick distress oxide inks to a white layer. Die-cut this piece by using the Quilted Hearts Portrait Dies. Flick water and white paint. Adhere this piece to a deep red card.

Die-cut the scalloped heart using the Scalloped Heart Dies from coral cardstock, now die-cut white stitched heart using the Stitched Heart 2 dies. Adhere to stack them. Stamp and emboss the sentiment using the Lovey Dovey stamp set. Die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Stamp the cute birds from the Little Birdie stamp set, color using copic markers. Die-cut using coordinating dies. Adhere to the card. To finish, I added three tiny hearts which I got from die-cutting the background.

Thank you for dropping by. Have a nice day!

Hi folks, Kavya here. I hope you had a fun holiday break! I have been away from my craft desk for a while and I can’t wait to get back to it. My mind is already filled with so many ideas for the latest release. My first card is inspired by the beautiful night life of Paris! I still remember the glittering streets when I visited it back in high school. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Quilted Hearts Die Card by Kavya (featuring Charming City, Passionate Penquins, Paris Afternoon)

I first started off by ink blending the edges of green cardstock with shaded of blue and black dye ink. I then die cut the cardstock with Quilted Hearts Portrait die. I then stamped and colored a bunch of images from Passionate PenguinsCharming City and Paris Afternoon stamp sets.

For the moon, I cut a circle and added some craters with gray copics. Finally, I heat embossed a sentiment from Charming City to finish it off! 

That’s all :) I hope you liked this fun and quick card! Happy Crafting folks!

Passionate Penguins Card with Ashley

Hello friends! It's Ashley with my first card featuring the new release. Are you just loving the new products? This card actually uses one of my favorites from the release, Passionate Penguins! I think these new illustrations are the cutest!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Passionate Penquin Card by Ashley Ebben (featuring Charming City)

I started by stamping the building line from Charming City onto white cardstock. I used Pinkfresh Studio ink cubes in pink and purple hues to make an ombre. I then used similar colors of Distress Oxides to kind of blend them into the background. I ended up using a combination of Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Seedless Preserves, and Chipped Sapphire. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Passionate Penquin Card by Ashley Ebben (featuring Charming City)

I stamped the cute penguin couple from Passionate Penguins onto Bristol smooth cardstock and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. I cut them out with the matching die, then added them to the card with foam tape. I stamped a large sentiment from Lovey Dovey in the sky with VersaMark ink and embossed with white. I finished with a few details from a white gel pen and a couple scattered hearts from Passionate Penguins.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful day.

I can't wait to start showing all the fun projects the team has been creating starting tomorrow. In the meantime, I have one last project to share that I started earlier in the week, but didn't have time to finish until yesterday. 

For this card I combined the new latte cup, croissant and macaron from the Paris Afternoon Stamps with the toast, strawberries, latte cup and punny sentiment from the Breakfast Puns Stamps. When I added these images to Paris Afternoon I wanted to make sure they could work well together so I was super sad I never got around to actually creating a card showing this. For my background I cut the outside scalloped edge using our Frilly Frame Hexagon Dies and then embossed the diamond print for the inside using our Frilly Frames Lattice Dies with an embossing mat in place of my bottom cutting plate. 
I then inked up the edges using Vintage Photo distress ink to accentuate the embossing and help it blend with the brown in my striped patterned paper from the Colorful Autumn Paper pack. Given the breakfast theme I thought an embossed lattice background would be fun to evoke the feeling of a waffle. For my greeting I had to really try and stretch the words found in the Breakfast Puns stamps to come up with a phrase that would match these particular images. There are probably not too many people using this particular catch phrase, but I thought it still was cute for this card.  Sunny Studio Friendship Card (using Breakfast Puns & Paris Afternoon Stamps, Frilly Frames Lattice & Frilly Frames Hexagon Dies, Colorful Autumn Paper)

Thanks so much for joining me and I hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday. ❤️
