Swimming Pool Die Focused Cards by Marieke and Marine

Hello Sunny Studio friends, Marieke here. Today I hope to inspire you with a slimline shaker card using the Swimming Pool Die. 

So first I started with the wooden deck. Using wood grain specialty paper I cut the slimline rectangle. Then cut strips of 1/4 inch and cut some in three pieces and the other ones in two pieces. Ink Blended each of them using Walnut Stain Distress inkt and glued them on another kraft rectangle.

Die cut the Swimming Pool die out of the middle and adhered some acetate behind it. Cut a slightly smaller blue rectangle, traced it on the back of the kraft rectangle and added some foam tape on the back of the kraft rectangle and "closed" the swimming pool so it would turn into a shaker compartment. Filled the compartment with sequins and closed it using the blue rectangle.

Used Copic Colors:
Swimming Pool - C1, C00, 0
Purple - BV17, BV04, BV13, BV02
Yellow - Y17, Y15, Y13
Teal - BG15, BG13, BG11
Pink - RV06, RV04, RV02
Green - YG67, YG03, YG01
White - C5, C3, C1, C00, 0
Tree Trunks - E47, E44, E43
Chairs - E37, E35, E33, E31
Skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E04 / R22, R20
Blond hair - YR24, YR23, Y21, Y11
Brown Hair (girl) - E37, E35, E33, E31
Black / Brown Hair - W9, W6, W5, W3
Brown Hair (boy) - E59, E57, E55, E53

Die cut the Swimming Pool die 4 times out of white cardstock and on one of them I added some grey details using my Copic markers. Adhered them together, die cut the stairs out of silver cardstock and glued it on to the swimming pool. 

Stamped the images of Kiddie Pool, Sending Sunshine, Tropical Scenes stamps. Colored them up using my Copic markers and cut them using the matching dies or cut them by hand. Adhered all the images onto the cardbase using foam tape.

Heat set the sentiment out of Sending Sunshine on some yellow cardstock and cut it into a smaller strip. Die cut the larger word four times out of link cardstock using the Sunshine Word die, glued them together and added some white gel pen details. Stamped the sentiment from the Kiddie Pool on some white cardstock and cut it using a speech bubble die.

Adhered the shaker onto a 1/2 inch larger white rectangle. Cut a top fold white base card 1/3 larger than the white rectangle and added the paper out of the Sleek Stripes Paper Pad. Adhered everything onto the base card using double sided tape and my card was all done.

Hey crafty friends! Marine here with you today, back with three little frogs having fun around the pond! I used the Swimming Pool die to create the pond, as well as some images from different sets to make this cute scene:

• Country Scenes: cattails + lily pad
• Feeling Froggy: frog + dragonfly
• Best Fishes: leaves
• Sealiously Sweet: sentiment

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

For the background, I first cut a 5,5" x 4,25" bristol panel, and I used grass stencils along with mowed lawn + rustic wilderness distress oxide inks to create a large grass section on half of the panel. And on the rest of the panel, I created the sky using a cloud stencil along with tumbled glass + salty ocean distress oxide inks.

Next I cut the Swimming Pool element, and I wanted the pond to look natural, so I colored it using grey markers to give it some stone effect. And to make the water inside the pond, I placed the die on a piece of bristol cardstock, traced the shape on the paper, fussy cut it, and then I colored that element using shabby shutters + broken china distress oxide inks.

I attached my pond border on the water element using foam squares, and then I stuck the whole piece on the panel using liquid glue. I cut around the frog images to get rid of the lily pads, and next I attached all my cute images on the panel around the pond using foam squares and glue dots.

For the sentiment, I stamped the words "You're" & "Awesome" on the top part of the panel, and between those words, I glued some letters that I cut using the Chloe Alphabet die set to finally read "You're froggin' awesome".

I finished my card by attaching the panel on a kraft card base and adding white details and highlights on the images, and that's it! We have a cute and fun little scene, and I hope that you like it! As always, feel welcome to check the process video for more details (click the image above). Thanks for stopping by and see you next week!

Ocean View Cards with Alma and Gladys

Hello, this is Alma and I would like to spend a day with you at the dream beach today! For today's card I've chosen a square format. 

In the center of my card is the awesome beach image from the Ocean View Stamps set, which I coloured with Copics and punched out with the Ocean View dies. To make the beach look even more fabulous, I chose a rainbow coloured background. To do this, I gently wiped the background with the Distress Oxide Inks shades Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet, Twisted Citron, Wild Honey and Worn Lipstick. Then I punched a stencil with the cloud die from the Slimline Nature Border Dies set and applied a layer of clouds with the same colour tones. I then sprinkled water on it to add texture to the background. Finally I set some highlights with the white gel pen. 

Then for the foreground I punched waves with the Catch a Wave Dies and coloured them with Distress Oxide Inks 'Mermaid Lagoon'. I then coloured the characters from the Beach Buddies Stamps set. After that I assembled all the individual parts and stamped the text Summer Sunshine from the same set. 

Don't you want to enjoy the day in the water with these cute characters?!

Hello crafty friends! Gladys here sharing a beach scene card featuring the Ocean View stamp set.

To begin I stamped and colored the ocean backdrop image. I only used part of the image as a backdrop for a wedding scene. Then I cut the image using the coordinating dies. I cut it again using a basic stitched rectangle die to have the stitching all around. Next I stamped the cute married penguin couple from Wedded Bliss, colored them with Copic markers then cut using the matching dies.

For the sky background I used distress oxide inks in faded jeans, kitsch flamingo and tattered rose. I adhered the ocean image on the inked panel using liquid glue. Then I backed the penguins with foam tape to add dimension. To complete the scene I added a few clouds in the sky. Finally I stamped the sentiment using the Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Inside Greetings Congrats Card with Kavya

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun project! Today’s card was inspired by a poster that I saw a few weeks ago. I saw two bears holding an umbrella while being showered with hearts! I knew it would look super adorable if I could recreate it and turn it into a shaker card. As luck would have it, I had the perfect stamps from SSS to do so!

I first started off by creating my background using a generic cloud stencil and Shaded Lilac and Tumbled Glass distress oxide inks. Then, I created my ‘ground’ using an ink blended linen cardstock and heat embossed a sentiment from Inside Greetings - Congrats. 

Then, I stamped and colored images from Passionate Penguins and Spring Scenes stamp set. I then converted this into an infinity shaker by using a thin piece of plastic from a stamp holder and Red and Pink Heart Confetti.

That’s it! I hope this card inspires you ;) Happy Crafting!

Tropical Trees Backdrop Cards with Bobbi and Catherine

Sometimes when you find a friend you really enjoy spending time with, it’s fun to just take a drive, listen to music and talk. Hi there! It’s Bobbi Lemanski here with a greeting card that was made for one of those special friends in your life. What could be more fun than driving through a tropical landscape with the top down?  Hawaii comes to mind for me. My husband and I rented a convertible and drove through the most beautiful areas of one of the islands. We had so much fun! These happy memories inspired this card. 

I’m using the following products for this card:
Tropical Trees Backdrop die set
Passionate Penguins stamp set and coordinating die set
Polka Dot Parade 6″ X 6″ pattern paper

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I started by cutting a 7″ wide X 10″ tall card base and all the dies from the Tropical Trees Backdrop die set out of 80lb white cardstock. I also cut a separate 5-1/4″ X 4″ backdrop piece for the scene. Using Copic markers, I colored the following cuts:

Palm Trees: E59, E57, E55, YG67, YG17, Yc10G03
Convertible Car/Penguins: YR09, YR68, YR15, 100,  C8, C5, C3, C1, C0, Y06, Y08
Clouds: BG23, BG11, BG10
Gravel Road: W8, W7, W4, W3, 100, C8, C7, C5, C3 (Note: This piece was hand cut.)
I also used YG67 for the Grass blades along the road.

For the scene backdrop, I used Distress Oxide Inks in Mermaid Lagoon and Broken China to create the sky and Mowed Lawn for the bottom grassy area on the separate, scene piece. For more depth, I added faint palm trees to the background using the negative space of the die cuts and blending on Rustic Wilderness for the leaves and Rusty Hinge for the trunks. While subtle, this really creates depth to the scene.

On the front of the card base, I added 1/2″ horizontal strips of pattern paper from the Polka Dot Parade 6″ X 6″ pattern paper in the center. I attached the separate 5-1/4″ X 4″ scene piece to the middle of the card front and adhered the stitched border around it. All of the scene elements were added to the scene. I layered the clouds and the die cut trees over the inked background. The die cut palm trees were attached using Scrapbook Adhesives foam tabs. I allowed the palm trees’ leaves to extend over the stitched borders on the sides as well as the big cloud die cut. The car was placed over the gravel road.

On the inside, I stamped two more penguins and the cute phrase from the Passionate Penguins stamp set and attached pattern paper strips (leftover from the front panel) at the bottom for added fun and color! This card is ready to cruise down the road with its top down!

Hi Friends! Catherine here, sharing a Summer card created with the Tropical Trees Backdrop and the all so adorable Passionate Penguins Stamps.

To start, I die cut the Tropical Trees Backdrop with White Cardstock. I placed the backdrop frame onto another piece of White Cardstock 4.25’ x 5.5.” Using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, I ink blended both pieces with a cloud stencil made with Fluffy Clouds Border Dies leaving about 1.5” on the bottom white.

Next, I placed the sand piece of the Tropical Trees Backdrop back inside the backdrop frame and ink blended the sand and the bottom part of the frame with Antique Linen Distress Oxide. I added a grainy effect with Copic Markers.

For the waves, I die cut three pieces of White Cardstock with the waves from Catch A Wave Dies. I ink blended the waves with Salty Ocean, Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks  and sprayed some water onto the waves.

I die cut the two palm trees in the set with White Cardstock and ink blended the trees with Gathered Twigs, Antique Linen, Mowed Lawn, and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks. I added coconuts with two small circles and ink blended the coconuts with Ground Espresso and Antique Linen Distress Oxide Inks.  I then die cut the birds from the set with White Cardstock and ink blended with Black Soot Distress Ink. I glued the waves, birds, and palm trees onto the background.

I added the adorable Penguins from Passionate Penguins Stamps which were die cut with the coordinating die set Passionate Penguins Dies and colored with Copic Markers. I added sunglasses from Beach Buddies Stamps on one Penguin friend and a flower from Tiki Time Stamps on the other friend.

The surf boards are from Surfing Santa Stamps. The sandcastle from Beach Babies and seashells are from Fintastic Friends. I finished off the card with a white heat embossed sentiment from Tiki Time Stamps.
