Hayley Alphabet Focused Cards with Bobbi and Cathy

Hi crafters, Bobbi here! I’m sharing a card featuring the new and beautiful Sunny Studio's Hayley Alphabet dies. The letters come in uppercase and lowercase and fit together to create cursive-style words and sentiments. With the help of one sweet bird from the Little Birdie stamp set, I’ve turned a “Happy Day” into a “Happy B-Day,” with one simple letter, B! This feathered friend just swooped in to turn the day into an even more special birthday!

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I stamped and cut out six different birds, the birdhouse, and four tree limbs. I colored them using the following Copic markers:

Birds: B04, B02, B00 E53, E51 and R81
Birdhouse: RV17, RV09, RV02, 100, C7, C5, and C3
Limbs: E59, E57, E55, E47, E43
Leaves: YG67, YG23, YG03

For the card base, I used two pattern papers from the Spring Fever pattern paper pad. The pink is 5-1/2″ long X 5″ wide and the green paper is 1-1/2″ long X 5″ wide. I attached a light pink cardstock strip measuring 1/8″ thick to the seam for a more finished look.

I cut out the Hayley letters from white cardstock and attached the letters in the green band area. I added the “B”  letter to the bird’s feet and attached the bird and letter using foam dots to make it stand out. This happy day is now a Happy B-day!

Hey friends! Cathy here today with a card espresso-ing a little thanks! I just love the scripty font of the Hayley Uppercase and Lowercase Alphabet Dies and how much of a statement they can make on a card front!

I went with a clean and simple design on this A2 card to really let the alphabet dies take center stage. I started by cutting a piece of kraft cardstock 4 1/4" x 5 1/2” and centered a Frilly Frames Stripes Die on the panel. After die-cutting the piece, I cut a piece of dark brown cardstock 3 3/4" x 5 1/4” and adhered it to the back of the kraft cardstock. I then adhered this to an A2 card base.

 

Next, I die-cut a piece of gray cardstock with a Fancy Frames Rectangles Die and adhered the frame surrounding the stripes. For the focal point of my card, I die-cut a piece of white cardstock with a Stitched Rectangles Die and heat embossed sentiments from the Words of Gratitude Stamps in the corners. I then softly inked the center of the rectangle with Antique Linen and Spun Sugar Distress inks. I die-cut a piece of pink cardstock with a Fancy Frames Rectangle Die for a mat and adhered these pieces to the center of the card.

 

For the Espresso sentiment, I inked a piece of white cardstock with Brushed Corduroy, Walnut Stain and Ground Espresso Distress inks in a gradient and die-cut the piece with the Hayley Uppercase and Hayley Lowercase Alphabet Dies. I love how these letters look in a slightly rounded form. They wrap so nicely!

 

To finish, I stamped the cup and macaron from the Paris Afternoon Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics, and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I added sweet smiley faces to them using the Summer Sweets Stamps.

 

I hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Garden Critters Cards with Tammy Stark

Hello friends! Tammy here! I'm so excited to be guest designing for Sunny Studio for the new, adorable Spring release! My projects feature the new set, Garden Critters. This set is so fun, happy, and Springy, it will be sure to bring smiles!

For my first project, I made an A2 card, creating a fun scene to showcase all the darling little critters. To begin, I stamped the images from Garden Friends, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Garden Critters Dies. The tree branch and leaves is from the Woo Hoo Stamp Set/ Coordinating Dies. 

Next, using the new Spring Fever Paper, I cut the blue dot patterned paper 4 1/4 X 5 1/2" and attached it to an A2 card base. I then cut a white mat, just slightly smaller, and then layered a smaller rectangle using the rainbow plaid patterned paper on top and attached them to the card base.

Next, I die cut an oval from Bristol cardstock and ink blended it with Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. I splattered the background with water, then added some Salty Ocean ink to the water and added some darker splatters to add some dimension. Using the Slimline Nature Borders Dies, I die cut a grassy border from green cardstock, inking the bottom with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink, and attached it to the card.

I arranged the stamped images onto the card, attaching some with foam tape for dimension. Lastly, I stamped the punny sentiment onto a white cardstock banner using black ink to complete my card.

Next up is a fun set of mini cards, perfect for Valentine's Day, or just a little note for someone special.

To begin, I die cut Bristol smooth cardstock 3 times using the Mini Mat & Tag 1 Dies.  I taped off the edges with washi tape and ink blended the background with Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks, splattering some watered down Salvaged Patina to create some interest. Next, using the Slimline Nature Borders Dies, I die cut a grassy border from green cardstock, inking the bottom with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink, trimming to fit, and attached it to the card. 

Next, I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut the images from the following sets:
Garden Critters / Coordinating Dies
Woo Hoo / Coordinating Dies
Meow & Furever / Coordinating Dies

I stamped the sentiments onto the background using black ink, then attached the stamped images using foam tape on some for dimension. Lastly, I cut mats, approximately 3 1/4 X 4 1/2", using patterned paper (Classic Gingham, Striped Silly, and Holiday Cheer) and attached them to a white card base. I then glued the scalloped mats to the patterned cards bases to complete my set of mini cards!

Thanks so much for stopping by! See you next time!

Clucky Chickens Cards with Tina and Vanessa

Hello crafty friends, Tina here and yes, I made my first Easter card of 2023! When I saw the super adorable Clucky Chickens stamp and die set, I knew it would be perfect for the occasion.

I started by stamping and die cutting almost every image from this set using a sheet of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I also selected a few Easter eggs from Chickie Baby. The nest comes from the Little Birdie set. Next, I die cut the Picket Fence Border from the same white paper. All the images were colored with Copic markers.

For my card panel, I used a rectangle die and a piece of Neenah Solar White paper. Next, I cut a diamond shape from the middle of this panel. I inked the outer portion of the rectangle with Distress Oxides Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo using a grid stencil from my stash. The diamond shape was colored with the same Oxides. I stamped an Easter greeting (Clucky Chickens and Fall Friends) onto a small banner with my trusty Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Now let’s assemble the card, starting by adhering the outer portion of the rectangle to a card base. Next, I build my scene onto the diamond shape, working my way through the different layers of the design.

Before I start a new card, I always place my stamps onto the panel to decide where each image will go. And then I take a picture of this design. This also helps me to choose the colors for each element of my scene.

I added the diamond shape to the base with foam tape for dimension. And lastly, the sentiment banner was mounted to the card. To embellish the card I sprinkled a few Chrystal Clear Jewels around the sentiment.

As always, I plan to send lots of Easter cards, so I am happy I got started working on my stash! I hope you will make some sweet cards with this adorable set too! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a birthday card using the adorable Clucky Chickens set.

I trimmed a panel of white cardstock slightly smaller than my card base and adhered it. Now I stamped the images onto a piece of cardstock, paper-pieced the hen house with patterned paper, colored everything with Copics, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered them with foam tape.

I mixed these sets:
Clucky Chickens stamps + dies
Panda Party stamps + dies
Garden Critters stamps + dies
Big Bold Greetings stamps + dies
Spring Fever Paper Pad

Then I stamped the sentiment, die-cut it and adhered it. Finally, I added highlights with a white gel pen.

Such a fun party to join, don't you agree? Enjoy your weekend!

Rainy Days Die Focused Cards with Waleska and Marine

Hello Friends. Waleska here, and I am so happy to be back with a new card inspiration for you. I used the super cute Rainy Day Dies and the beautiful Big Bold Greetings stamps.

To create this card I started choosing a pattern paper from the Spring Fever patterned paper as color inspiration. I had the idea of creating a rainy day with lots of grey clouds, to do that I used a cloud stencil and Pumice Stone Oxide ink. I then cut all the pieces to create four umbrellas from white cardstock, I added some color to them with the following inks: Salty Ocean, Mustard Seed, Wilted Violet and Lucky Clover Oxide inks. For the umbrella bases I used grey cardstock. I wanted to add some sparkle to this cute umbrellas so I used Moonstone Glimmer paste to the bottom of all the umbrellas, for the umbrella handles I used copic markers trying to match the same colors I used before.

I finally adhered the umbrellas with 3D foam tape and cut a bunch of water drops from a blue cardstock and I add them around my rainy day scene. For the sentiment I used the handwritten phrase "Miss You" from the Big Bold Greetings stamps. I love how this card, specially to give it to someone you miss in your life. Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hi crafty friends! Marine here, back with a happy and cheerful slimline infinity shaker card showcasing the adorable Rainy Days from the new Spring 2023 collection. 

I started off by cutting an 8,5" x 4,5" bristol panel, and I used a cloud stencil along with tumbled glass and salty ocean oxide inks to create a very simple background.

Next I created the infinity shaker pocket. I cut a plastic sleeve (like the ones we put in binders for school) to get a single sheet of plastic. I added double sided tape on the four edges of that plastic sheet, I placed my cloudy panel in the middle of it, and while keeping the panel in place with my left hand, I cut the four plastic corners off, and this way created four plastic tabs on each side of the cloudy panel. I folded and attached three of those tabs at the back of the cloudy panel, poured a million iridescent confetti inside the plastic pocket, and then folded and attached the remaining tab to totally close the pocket. 

Next I cut the different elements using Rainy Days. I cut the base of the umbrellas out of white cardstock. For the handle I used a light grey cardstock. And for the top and main part, I cut two types of papers: plain colored cardstock, and Spring Fever pattern papers. I assembled the colorful top pieces, as well as the handles on the plain white umbrellas, and once my five umbrellas were complete, I attached them on the shaker panel using 1mm foam squares. And to bring even more sparkles to this card, I cut and attached some gold glitter clouds using dies from the Tropical Trees Backdrop die set.

And then I asked myself "What could I add to bring more cuteness to those umbrellas?" And I thought that smiley faces would be fun. So I searched my entire collection of Sunny Studio die sets, and came across the Nutty For You die set that includes small dies to create cute faces. So I cut those five smiles and five pairs of eyes out of black cardstock, and glued them all on the umbrellas.

For my greeting, I started by cutting a red banner using a die from the Stitched Rectangle die set. I white heat embossed the phrase "Showering you with love" from Spring Showers, and I attached that banner using foam squares again. And last but not least, I added white highlights to the umbrella's eyes to kind of give them more personality. And that's it, the cutest umbrellas to brighten someone's day! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!
