Designer's Choice: Baby Elephants Card with Nicky

Hello there, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio blog and I'm sharing a pair of newborn baby cards, featuring the Baby Elephants set, which are always fun projects to tackle.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Baby Elephant Card Set by Nicky Meeks (featuring Quilted Heart Dies, Fluffy Clouds, Brilliant Banner Dies, Scalloped Circle Mat Dies)

Let's start with the baby girl card. I created a panel of white cardstock and used the Quilted Hearts Embossing Folder to create the pretty quilted hearts design. I softly ink blended to a fade with light pink ink. I backed the panel with craft foam and applied to a pink panel of cardstock and then to my card base.

I die cut white cardstock using the Scalloped Circle Mat 2 Dies and applied with foam tape and I stamped using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa and coloured the Baby Elephants image using the following Copic markers:

Elephant W5, W3, W2, W0, W00, RV04, RV02, R00, R0000

Cloud - RV02, RV00, RV0000, C1

Moon - E51, E50, YR30, YR0000, W2, W0, W00

The image was die cut using the Baby Elephants Dies and applied with foam tape and I added some Fluffy Clouds around the image, embellished with Iridescent Star Jewels and stamped and created the Brilliant Banner 1 Die with the sentiment and glued in place.

With the baby boy card I basically did everything the same only I used minty greens and baby blues to ink blend the embossed background and I used perfect pearls to splash on some iridescence. Again I die cut the circle focal point and I used different elephants from the Baby Elephants stamp set together with clouds and the star balloon to give this one a slightly different look.

Elephants - W5, W3, W2, W2, W0, W00, RV04, RV02, R00, R000

Clouds - BG000, BG0000, C1

Balloon - E51, E50, YR30, YR0000, W2, W0, W00

Images were die cut using the Baby Elephants Dies and applied with foam tape. I added more of the Iridescent Star Jewels and created a similar sentiment banner using the Brilliant Banner 1 Die. I did a little bit of highlighting with a white gel pen and then both cards were complete.

Designer's Choice: Garden Fairy Shaker Tags with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this trio of bee themed shaker tags. I've had this idea of creating bee fairies since last year, so I'm glad I can finally share this project with you.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Garden Fairy & Just Bee-cause Shaker Tags by Marine Simon (featuring Scalloped Tag Dies, Garden Critters, Love Birds, Little Birdie)

I started off by stamping my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I picked:

• Garden Fairy for three fairies
• Garden Critters for the bees
• Just Bee-cause for the beehive
• Little Birdie for the branch
• Love Birds for a heart and flowers

Next I worked on the shaker tags. I built them following the same process, so here are the different steps:

1. Cut a Scalloped Tag Circle out of light brown woodgrain cardstock, and use a 2,5 inches circle die to cut a window out of it

2. Use the same Scalloped Tag Circle die to cut a whole tag out of acetate, and another one out of a Polka Dot Parade aqua pattern paper

3. Attach the acetate tag at the back of the woodgrain tag using liquid glue, and add foam strips on the acetate, all along the scalloped edges of the tag, following the rounded shape

4. Pour some shaker accessories on the acetate, I used 3mm clear sequins, peel the backing papers off the foam strips, and attach the polka dot aqua tag to close the shaker tag

I stamped "What's buzzin'?" from Garden Critters on each tag, directly on the acetate, using white stazon ink, attached my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added ribbon and twine, applied a little bit of white blizzard nuvo drops on the hearts and wings, and finished my tags with highlights and details using a white gel pen.

And that's it! I really love how those shaker tags turned out, I hope you like them too! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Designer's Choice: Holiday Hugs Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am mixing and matching several sets for this designer’s choice blog post. The darling bear from Holiday Hugs is perfect for all your winter cards but I wanted to see how I could make him the focal point of a Spring birthday card!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Holiday Hugs Birthday Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Make A Wish, Frilly Frame Dies, Quilted Hearts Dies, Stitched Arch Dies, Brilliant Banner Dies, Happy Thoughts)

To achieve this look, I had to mask off his scarf with some Post-it tape while I was stamping. It went really well and next I used the matching dies to cut him out. I love the special die for the arms! 

Whilst browsing through my stash I selected a few birthday related stamps like the big cake (Make A Wish), the gift (Holiday Hugs), the bouquet (Big Bunny) and the letters (Bighearted Bears).All these items were colored with alcohol markers in fun Spring colors.

My card base is an A2 size and made from white heavy weight card stock. For the pink gingham frame I used a Joyful Holiday paper, which was cut with the outer of the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace dies and the largest of the Stitched Arched Dies.

Since the coloring was so bright, I opted for a white backdrop. The upper part is dry embossed with the Quilted Hearts folder, whilst the lower part was run through the Lots Of Dots folder (but that is difficult to see in the pictures). I added foam tape to the gingham frame and lower part of the background and adhered all the elements to my card base. Next, I added the cute bear and all his birthday accessories!

I love how the Brilliant Banner 2 Die perfectly fits on top of the arched frame. The combined sentiment was selected from the Happy Thoughts set and stamped in Versafine Onyx Black Ink. For some bling, I adhered a few Crystal Clear Jewels which are one of my favorites.

I hope you got inspired to experiment with stamp masking, it’s such a fun technique! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
