Tropical Birds Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here with a clean and simple baby card featuring the Tropical Birds stamp and coordinating dies. The birdies in this set are so versatile.

I started by die-cutting an arch using the Stitched Arch dies. Sponge peacock feathers and salvaged patina distress oxide inks. Stamp the images from the Tropical Birds stamp set, color using copic markers and die-cut using the coordinating dies.

Stamp the leaves onto vellum using versamark ink, sprinkle green embossing powder and heat set. Die-cut some white flowers and add to the branch.

Take a white card base, sponge yellow ink around where we will have the arch. Adhere the arch to a white card, adhere the images to create the scene. Stamp the sentiment from the Baby Elephants stamp set onto the die-cut the clouds from the coordinating dies. Add some nuvo glitter to the bottom of the clouds. Adhere to the card. To finish, add some glitter drops to the center of the flowers.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Stitched Square Die Focused Cards with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here and today I'm sharing some creative ways to use the new Stitched Square Dies. This 9-piece die set is intended to help you create perfectly square mats with stitched detail for your cards. However, when all the dies are nested and run through a die-cut machine, you get square frames. 

I picked out several colors of card stock and then nested all the dies to get a bunch of different-sized frames. I've made a couple of cards to show how I used these frames in fun ways.

The first card is A2 size. I added some background texture with Dotted Diamond Landscape die. Next, I took the 2.5-inch frames in all the colors and overlapped them across the width of the background panel. I had to cut each frame apart in one spot to connect them all together like a chain. The cut part gets hidden when all the frames are adhered in place. I added a simple Hello Word die-cut to finish off this card. 

My next card started with a 5-inch square card base. I then added a Scalloped Square mat created with the largest die in the Scalloped Square 1 Large die set. Next, I adhered a rainbow of frames going from largest to smallest. Starting with the light pink frame, I angled each frame slightly up from the last. This creates a spiral effect with the frames. To finish, I added the "thank you" using the Slimline Scalloped Frame dies and some clear sequins.

Fresh Lemon Die Focused Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today with an uplifting card for you featuring the Fresh Lemon Dies. I had so much fun making this and I can’t get enough of the cute smiley faces you can add to these lemons!

I started with the background panel by cutting a piece of white cardstock 4" x 5 1/2" and inking it lightly with Simon Says Stamp Seafoam ink. For a little texture (and because I thought it looked like a glass tile backsplash) I inked a second piece of white cardstock with the Seafoam ink and die-cut it multiple times using the ice cube dies from the Summer Jar Mug Dies. I adhered them to the background piece in rows covering the top 4" of the panel.

For a countertop look, I embossed a 2” x 5” piece of white cardstock using the Woodgrain Embossing Folder and inked it lightly with Lost Shadow Distress ink. I then die-cut this piece 6 times using the small die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I cut a piece of white cardstock 1 1/2" x 3 3/4" and adhered the woodgrain pieces to it trimming any excess from the edges. I then adhered this piece to the bottom of the background panel.

Next, I die-cut 2 strips of yellow paper from the Gingham Pastels Paper using the ribbon die from the Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. I overlapped/adhered the background panel to the ribbon strips on the left and right sides so just a stitched edge is visible and adhered the combined piece to the center of an A2 card front.

I die-cut the mug and straw from the Summer Jar Mug Dies from white cardstock and added some Copic colored details. I die-cut the ice cubes from vellum. I inked the lemon and slices from the Fresh Lemon Dies using Simon Says Stamp Lemonade and Sunbeam inks and added some gray Copic details to the white portions of the slices.

To finish, I die-cut 2 flowers and flower centers from white cardstock using the Strawberry Patch Dies and colored them with Copics. I added the flower centers as blush to my lemon. I stamped sentiments from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps on strips of pink cardstock and heat embossed the “lemons” sentiment with white embossing powder on white cardstock. I then inked over the sentiment with Lemonade and Sunbeam inks and fussy cut around it. I adhered the “lemons” and “make lemonade” sentiments with foam dimensional tape.

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: Card with Ashlee Bellinger

Hey there Sunny Studio friends. It's Ashlee here with a new guest post for the lovely Sunny Studio Stamps. I have had a blast creating with a bunch of the new fruity-inspired products so today I am sharing two fruity cards using these stamps and dies.

- Strawberry Patch dies
- Fresh Lemon dies
- Build-A-Bowl dies
- Punny Fruit Greetings stamps
- Mini Mat & Tag 2 dies

To create these cards I made them both using the same layout but with different colours of cardstocks and bowls. 

I chose my cardstock base colour and then added a white die cut piece using the rectangle die from the tag die set before adhering it to the card base using foam tape which is how I started to add my dimension.

I stamped the sentiments from the Punny fruit greetings set by stamping the first part of the sentiment onto the white rectangle cut and then the second part of it directly onto the lower part of the card base!

Once that was done I die-cut all the pieces I needed to create a lovely strawberry bowl. Using a white gel pen I added little seed dots to the strawberries. Aren't they just adorable?

For this second card, I chose a blue card stock base and added a lovely bowl of Lemons that are ready to squeeze.

Aren't these new die cuts just so cool, I love how fun they are and fruity bowls look so good, right?! There are so many variations of bowls you could make to go with the punny fruit greetings!

To complete both of the cards I finished them off with a touch of pretty sequins adhered with glue dots. 

Thank you so much for checking out my guest post today, I hope I have inspired you to create some fruit-inspired cards. I had lots of fun creating them and I'm sure I will be making lots more cards using them.

Happy crafting! Hugs!

Beach Bus Card with Nicky

Hello! This is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Blog. I have a fun Summer themed card to share with you today, featuring the new Beach Bus Stamps so please read on to learn all the details.

I kicked things off by creating a panel of white cardstock which I softly ink blended to create some sand and sky using Scattered Straw and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks. I splashed the panel with some Perfect Pearls mixed with a couple of drops of  water and I then used the Stitched Rectangle Die (listed and linked above) to create the faux stitched edge.

I applied this panel to a slightly large panel of cream cardstock and then I backed this with white craft foam and adhered it to a white A2 panel, then to the card base. I set this to one side.

I stamped the images from Beach Bus using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black and I used the following Copic markers to colour the images:

Bus - BG32, G00, G000, G0000, E40, W00, T6, T5, T4
Mouse - T2, T0
Cat - YR24, E01, YR30
Sloth - E44, E43,
Pink - R22, RV23, R32, R20, RV00
Blue - FBG2, B00

I highlighted points with a white gel pen and then die cut using the coordinating Beach Bus Die. Images and sentiments were added to the background panel using dimensional foam tape. I added 4 white Nuvo drops as some finishing accents and with that, this card was complete.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today, I'll be back next Friday with something new.
