Kiddie Pool Cards with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone! Isha here featuring the Kiddie Pool stamps and dies. The playful and happy kids remind me of the kids playing alongside the lakes, enjoying the sunset during summer days.

I started by die-cutting the sand and the rest of the background from white cardstock using the Tropical Trees Backdrop dies. Sponge vintage photo distress oxide ink for the sand. Flick some ink and some gold paint for texture. I used salty ocean, picket fence, wilted violet, ripe persimmon, scattered straw, salvaged patina and peacock feathers distress oxides to create the sky and the water.

Die-cut the clouds from the same die, sponge using peeled paint and mowed lawn oxide inks to create the bushes and adhere to the piece. Adhere this piece to a white card.

Stamp the images, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies:
Kids - Kiddie Pool Stamp and Dies
Crab, shell - Ocean View Stamp and Dies
Ball - Sealiously Sweet Stamp and Dies
Sentiment - Beach Buddies Stamp

Add details using white pen. Adhere the images to the card. Stamp the sentiment. Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun project! I love combining stamps and if you like too, this one is for you! The new Kiddie Pool stamps are just the perfect size to be combined with a bunch of other stamps. For this week, I decide to combine it with Sealiously Sweet stamp set.

I first started off by creating my background by ink blending blue inks and adding a strip of green cardstock at the bottom. I also added a fence from Spring Scene stamp set. Then, I stamped a bunch of images from Sealiously Sweet and Kiddie Pool stamp sets. 

Later, I heat embossed a sentiment from the Sealiously Sweet stamp set and added die cut alphabets from Chloe Alphabet Dies. 

That’s it folks! I hope this project inspires you :) Happy Crafting!

Wedded Bliss & Wonky Windows Cards with Catherine and Bobbi

Hello Friends! Catherine here, sharing a see through card featuring the adorable Wedded Bliss Stamps!

Starting from 2” from the bottom,  I ink blended a piece of white card stock 4.25” x 5.5” with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink using a cloud stencil made with Fluffy Cloud Border. Next, using black ink, I stamped the sentiment from Inside Greetings Congrats Stamps onto the bottom white area of the card.

I stamped the ocean and sand border from Ocean View and die cut with the coordinating die, Ocean View Dies. I use the same coordinating die to die cut a backing for the back of the border using white cardstock. I then colored the ocean and sand border scene with Copic Markers. I added the adorable penguins from Wedded Bliss and a beach chair from Kiddie Pool Stamps.

For the acetate card, I trimmed a piece of clear acetate to 4.25”x 11”. I scored the acetate at 5.5” and used a bone folder tool to fold the card in half.

I adhered the cloudy background onto the inside of if the acetate card and the ocean and sand border onto the outside of the card. I adhered the white backing onto the back of the ocean and sand border to cover the glue marks. 

I used StāzOn Jet Black ink to stamp the sentiment onto the front of the acetate card and finished off the card with hearts from Basic Mini Shape Dies.

Hello friends, Bobbi here! It’s time for a little “wonky” fun using the newly released, Wonky Windows die set. I paired this cute die set of imperfect windows and banners with some yummy drinks to make this card. 

I’m using the following products:
Wonky Windows die set

Tropical Paradise stamps and coordinating die sets

Cruisin’ Cuisine stamp set (for the “happy” and “day” words on the banners)

Subtle Gray Tones 6″ X 6″ paper pad

This 5″ X 7″ card begins with a fun watercolor background measuring 5″ X 7″. I brushed on fun colors and let them do their thing. I used Canson XL watercolor paper and Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor paints. The colors blend so nicely! Next, I cut out the wonky windows down the right hand side. I added a printed polka dot paper to the windows. The paper is from the Subtle Gray Tones 6″ X 6″ paper pad. 

I stamped, colored, and die cut the pineapple and two drinks from the Tropical Paradise stamps and coordinating die sets. I also cut six banners from the Wonky Windows die set.  All of them were cut from Neenah 80lb cardstock. I love the stitching around the windows and banners! 

I colored the images in using the following Copic Marker colors:
Pineapple: Y19, Y08, YG67, YG03, YG00, YR24, with white gel pen highlights
Coconut drink: B05, B04, B02, YR07, YR6, Y19, Y08, G05, Goo, YG03, YG00, E57, E55, E43, with white gel pen highlights
Daiquiri drink, lime slices and water droplets: G05, G00, Y08, YR07, YR68, YR65, YR61, B05, B02, B00, with white gel pen highlights

I used all the same colors from the images to color the banners, too. I used a fine-tip black marker for the banner string (hand drew it in) and my white gel pen for the white polka dots. I stamped “HAPPY” and “DAY” on the banners. Everything was glued in place and the entire front panel was attached to an A7 white card base made from Neenah 80lb Solar White cardstock using double sided tape. I have the best results attaching watercolor paper to card bases using very sticky double-sided tape. Lastly, I stamped “Cheers” in black to the lower right corner to complete this card.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Summer Themed Cards with Rachel Alvarado

Hello friends! It's Rachel here from rachelalvaradodesigns.com and @theunpamperedstamper. I am so happy to be guest designing for Sunny Studio Stamps today! I have three summer-themed cards to share with you.

The first one is a bright, single layer card that I made by combining the Fintastic Friends, Ocean View, and Kiddie Pool Stamp Sets. To create my one-layered look, I used some Gina K Designs Masking Magic Sheets to mask my images (after stamping them) before ink blending my background. I also used masking while stamping to create the illusion of some of the objects appearing behind one another. Once all of my images were masked, I used a stencil along with some Pink Fresh Studios Sky Blue, Summer Shower, Seaside, and Storm Inks to create my ocean water background.

I used Copic Markers to color all of my images and added some white accents with a Sakura White Gelly Roll Pen. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment from the Fintastic Friends Stamp Set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

For my second project, I created a small and simple pool-themed card. This type of card would be perfect for that swimmer in your life or even to be used as really cute pool party invitations. To do this, I simply stamped my images, (I used Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and stamped them onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock), colored them with Copic Markers, and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Once I finished with the images, I assembled the kids in the pool and then folded a small piece of white card stock so that I could die cut it with the pool die. I made sure to leave the crease of my folded card stock outside of the die so that I could use this piece as my folding card base. Next, I attached my stamped pool directly on top of this folding piece. Lastly, I stamped a sentiment onto the inside center of my card. Super fun and easy to make!

For my third and final project, I created a slimline pop-up box card from scratch. When propped up, this card measures at 6.5" long x 2" wide x 3.75" tall. I stamped images from both the Kiddie Pool and Ocean View Stamp Sets to create my scene. Once again, all of my images were colored with Copic Markers and cut out using both the Kiddie Pool and Ocean View Die Sets. I used the Slimline Nature Borders Die Set to die cut my sand dunes from white card stock. I added color to these dunes by blending them with some Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy Distress Oxide Inks. I also added some sandy texture to these pieces by adding dots of color with Copic Markers.

The fun part about this card is that it fits perfectly into a business or #10 sized envelope. This makes it convenient for both mailing or hand delivering.

Here's a mini tutorial if you would like to make a low profile card like this one too:

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have enjoyed these 3 projects!

Country Carnival Cards with Audrey and Vanessa

Hello friends! Audrey here with a Country Carnival card to share with you! This card is a bit different for me as I normally love bright colors and lots of white space on my cards, but I decided to make a night scene card with this stamp set. 

I started off with a piece of dark blue cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25". I used a cloud stencil from my stash and some Black Soot Distress Oxide to add some night clouds to the top 2/3 of the panel. I masked off the bottom and inked along the mask to create the ground. Then, I splattered on some gold metallic watercolor and watered down white acrylic paint to add stars to the sky. I stamped and colored the ferris wheel, some of the little bears and the ticket booth from the Country Carnival stamp set, and die cut them with the coordinating Country Carnival dies. The white background of the stamped images was too much contrast for me, so I used a dark blue Copic marker to trace around the edges of the images. 

I arranged my scene, and adhered it to the panel. I didn't want sentiment to stand out too much, so I used white pigment ink on the dark cardstock for a more muted sentiment. Then, I used the Basic Mini Shapes Dies II to add some white stars to the sky. Finally, I mounted the panel to a dark blue card base.

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a baby card using the sweet Country Carnival set.

I started with a white card base and inked the background with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink. After I had added ink droplets, I die-cut the scalloped tag from white cardstock and stamped the carousel. Now I stamped the image again onto a scrap of cardstock, colored both images with Copics, fussy-cut parts of the second image and adhered these to the tag with foam tape for more dimension. 

Today I used these sets:
Country Carnival stamps + dies
Chloe Alphabet Dies
Scalloped Tag Square Dies

I tied-on ribbon and twine and adhered the tag to the card. Now I die-cut the letters, colored them with Copics, added details with a white gel pen and spelled BABY. Finally, I added heart sequins to finish the card off.

Have a lovely weekend, everybody!
