Lovely Lilacs Cards with Marine and Marieke

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with a new shaker card, I just can't help myself they're so fun and easy to make, showcasing the gorgeous Lovely Lilacs stamp set, as well as the Watering Can stamp set.

I started off with the layering and stamping process of the images. I used dye inks by Lawn Fawn to stamp all the images, and when I use layering stamps for the first time, I always like to prep the stamps, meaning that I first add clear embossing ink on the stamp, next I clean the stamp and then I apply the chosen colored ink. Adding clear embossing ink first helps the colored ink to get a good grip on the stamp and this way the stamping is more precise and the result consistent.

And one amazing thing about Sunny Studio's layering stamp sets is that there is a guide on the products pages to help us line up the stamps correctly and get a beautiful result! So easy and useful!

Next I created the Watering Can. It has only two layers, and I used two shades of yellow in order to compliment the lilac flowers nicely.

Here are the Lawn Fawn ink colors I used to create the flowers & watering can: 
flowers: fresh lavender + grape soda + grape jelly + sugarplum
leaves: celery stick + freshly cut grass + doe
watering can: lemonade + sunflower

Next I created the shaker panel. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25" panel out of a Sweater Weather pattern paper, and cut a Stitched Arch window out of it. And I also cut a 5,5 x 4,25" bristol panel that I colored using shaded lilac oxide ink.

I attached a piece of acetate at the back of the window panel, and added four layers of foam tape at the back of it, on the four edges. Next I applied powder inside the window, all along the foam edges, that makes the foam edges non sticky so the sequins don't stick to it. Quickly cleaned the acetate to get rid of any excess of powder, and then added a mix of purple & dark blue sequins + Clear jewels inside the window. 

I peeled the backing papers off the foam tape, and attached the shaded lilac panel to totally close and complete the shaker panel. And next I attached the watering can and flowers using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

For my sentiment, I cut a banner out of vellum using a die from the Stitched Rectangles die set, and I white heat embossed the "Thinking of you" sentiment from the Watering Can stamp set on it, and I attached that banner on the bottom right hand corner of the panel using clear foam squares.

And to totally finish the card, I added a few clear droplets here and there to catch the light and bring more shine. And that's it! I love those beautiful lilac flowers, how the colors coordinate nicely with the watering can and background, and I hope that you like it too. As always, you are more than welcome to check the process video for more details and information (click on the image above). Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Hello Sunny Studio friends, Marieke here with you. Today I hope to inspire you with a Clean and Simple card. For my card this time around there is no coloring involved. 

I started with inking up the Lovely Lilacs. Used the colors Milled lavender, Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks. Die cut them using the Lovely Lilacs dies.

Out of white cardstock I cut the Scalloped Tag Circle Dies. Die cut an inner circle out of it which left me with a border. Added a black string of twine onto it. Adhered the stamped images behind it and added some foam tape.

Cut a white top-fold base card, splattered some black paint and adhered the tag on the base. Heat set the sentiment out of the Inside Greetings Congrats and cut it using a scissor. Finished the card by adding some different sizes of clear sequins.

Wonky Window Die Focused Cards with Gladys and Alma

Hello friends! Gladys here with a mini slimline using the Wonky Windows and Little Birdie stamp set.

To start I used a mini slimline die to cut from Bristol smooth cardstock. I ink blended the background with a cloud stencil and salty ocean distress ink. Then I used the Wonky Windows die to cut the center of the panel. I also used the window die to cut from scraps of Bristol smooth cardstock and ink blended worn lipstick and scattered straw on the negative pieces.

Next I stamped and colored the images from Little Birdie using Copic markers. I cut them out using their coordinating dies.

To assemble the card I used the mini slimline die to cut from white cardstock. I inlaid the pieces from the Wonky Windows with liquid glue. I used foam tape on the back of the cloud panel for dimension before mounting it onto the white cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in the center window then adhered the images down. Finally I attached the panel onto a card base. That is all for me today until next time. Have a wonderful day!

Hi, today it's me, Alma. I'm back on the blog and today I want to show you a shaker card that you can easily design using the Wonky Windows Dies.

First of all, I cut two rectangles of cardstock and punched one of them out with the Wonky Windows. Then I wiped the two cardstocks in the Distress Oxide colours Chipped Saphire, Blueprint Sketch, Broken China and Tumbled Glass and sprinkled them with water. I set white highlights with the gel pen so that the water structure gets even more depth.

Then I mixed the Jewels Sky Blue Jewels, Magic Blue Jewels and Cornflower Blue Jewels and glued the two cardstock pieces together with the shaker elements and 3D tape.

After this I stamped the frogs and accessories from the Froggy Friends stamp set, coloured them with Copics, and die-cut them with the coordinating dies. The water puddles, the ducks and the umbrella are from the Rain or Shine stamp set, which I also stamped out with the matching coordinating dies.

Now everything is glued together and the shaking can begin.

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.
