Big Panda Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am creating a sweet card using one of my favorite stamp sets called Big Panda. By using the matching dies, the panda can hold several fun accessories.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Big Panda Summer Themed Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Botanical Backdrop Dies, Frilly Frame Dies)

After stamping this cutie, his hat and drink, I colored all the images with vibrant Copic Markers, and I added some details with a white gel pen.

Next, I created a pink card base and made two white panels with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron. One of them was cut on a diagonal angle, this will be the lower part of the card front. For the other chevron panel, I used a cloud stencil from my stash and Peacock Feathers Distress OxideAfter gluing this panel to the pink card base, I mounted the white angled piece on top leaving some room to tuck in the cute panda bear.

To cover up the line between the two panels, I went with a border of tropical flowers from the Botanical Backdrop die. I love that this set gives you a gorgeous leave border as well as lots of individual layered flowers. These flowers and leaves were inked up with Distress Oxides Spices Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Peacock Feathers, Mustard Seed, and Picked Raspberry.

The sentiment is also from the Big Panda set and was stamped in matching Distress Oxide colors. There are separate dies for these two words, which is great!

Now it was time to put the card together! I first added the adorable Panda with his fun hat and cool drink. Next, I started playing with the positioning of all the flowers and leaves. It was a bit tricky to find space for the large sentiment, but in the end, everything worked out as planned. I love finishing a card with some embellishments and today I chose some teals from the beautiful Pastel Jewel mix

Thank you for joining me and I am looking forward to seeing your gorgeous creations with this fun panda! Happy crafting!

Strawberry Patch Card with Isha

Hello everyone! Isha here today with a sweet birthday card featuring the Strawberry Patch dies. These dies are so detailed and look delicious once we add color to the die-cuts.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Strawberry Patch Birthday Card by Isha Gupta (featuring Big Bold Greetings)

I started by sponging a white layer using salty ocean and peacock feathers distress inks. I then die-cut the Strawberry Patch die, using white card. Sponge distress ink (antique linen, abandoned coral, candied apple, aged mahogany, twisted citron, peeled paint) to add color to the die-cuts.

Stamp the sentiment from the Big Bold Greetings, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere the sentiment using foam tape. Create the clusters and adhere die-cuts to the card using liquid adhesive and foam tape. Adhere the panel to a white card base. To finish, I added yellow nuvo drops to the center of the flowers.

Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Sliding Window Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here and today I'm sharing an interactive thank you card. This card has a sliding window and when opened, a gift card is revealed. The Sliding Window die makes it so easy to create this fun interactive card.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sliding Window Die Focused Card by Leanne West (featuring Summer Greenery Dies, Thank You Word Dies, Frilly Frame Dies, Tropical Birds)

I used Catherine Pooler Lime Rickey and Cummerbund inks for the two toned look on the sliding window panels. To get the decorative edge on my window panel I used the outer die from the Frilly Frames Chevron die set

To decorate the outside of my card, I added a cluster of tropical leaves and a cute little toucan from the Tropical Birds stamp set. The greeting I stamped is also from this set. The leaves were die cut with the Summer Greenery dies from two shades of green card stock. I decided to add some tiny die cut hibiscus flowers as well.  

Copic colors used for the toucan: T4, T6, T8, G20, YG13, Y13, YR12, YR24, R32, R35

To allow room to enclose a gift card, I simply used thin foam tape to adhere the sliding window panel to my card base. I thought the Amazon gift card nicely coordinated with my toucan. 

There was also enough room for decoration underneath the gift card so I added the Thank You words and one of the Summer Greenery leaves.

Limitless Labels Die Focused Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today sharing a vintage travel label inspired card featuring the Limitless Labels I Dies. This card is all about die-cuts! I’ve paired some new summer dies with some older favorites for a fun beachy card.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Limitless Label Die Focused Summer Card by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring Brilliant Banner Dies, Fresh Lemon Dies, Summer Jar Mug Dies, Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies, Stitched Rectangles Dies)

To start, I die-cut a piece of Summer Splash Paper with the largest Stitched Rectangles Die and adhered it centered on an A2 card front. I then die-cut the second largest Limitless Labels 1 Die from white cardstock. I placed a post-it note across the top part of the label and inked the ocean with Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink covering about 1 inch. I inked the sand below it with Antique Linen Distress ink. I then masked the ocean and inked the sun and sky with Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, Dried Marigold and Salvaged Patina Distress inks. To balance the black on the card and make the background label stand out more, I die-cut the same Limitless Labels 1 die twice from black cardstock and adhered one overlapping the other so that 1/8” of the black label underneath is visible. I then adhered the background label centered on the black labels and adhered the combined piece to the center of the card front.

Next, I die-cut a palm tree from black cardstock using the Tropical Trees Backdrop Die and adhered it to the left side of the label. I die-cut the umbrella from the Summer Jar Mug Dies from white cardstock and inked it with Kitsch Flamingo and Antique Linen Distress inks. For a little extra detail on the umbrella, I die-cut the flower centers from the Strawberry Patch Dies from white cardstock and colored them with Copics. I love how the slice die from the Fresh Lemon Dies can be made into several different citrus fruits. I chose to make them orange slices for this card by coloring the centers with Copics and inking the rind with Spiced Marmalade Distress ink.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Limitless Label Die Focused Summer Card by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring Brilliant Banner Dies, Fresh Lemon Dies, Summer Jar Mug Dies, Tropical Trees Backdrop Dies, Stitched Rectangles Dies)

To finish, I die-cut the Brilliant Banners I Die from green, pink and black cardstock. I used sentiments from the Beach Bus Stamps that fit the banner nicely and added to the vintage look. I heat embossed the “enjoy” sentiment on the green label with black embossing powder and then layered/adhered the 3 banner die-cuts together slightly overlapping. I inked a piece of white cardstock with Fossilized Amber Distress ink, heat embossed the “summer” sentiment with black embossing powder and die-cut it using the coordinating dies. For dimension, I adhered the banner across the label using dimensional foam 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 Hanh Nguyen

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh. I am so excited to be back to Guest Design for Sunny Studio Stamps and to showcase products from the Summer Release. I am loving all of the fresh fruits that are available for the summer and at Sunny Studio Stamps. I have a trifold and a couple of punny fruit-themed Thank You cards to share with you today. So let's get started.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Fresh Lemon & Big Panda Fruit Themed Card by Hanh Nguyen

When Life Gives You Lemons ... Make Lemonade! My first card is a fun trifold card featuring the new Fresh Lemon DiesSummer Jar Mug DiesBig Panda StampsBig Panda Dies and Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps. I love all of the amazing embossed details on these dies! 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Fresh Lemon & Big Panda Fruit Themed Card by Hanh Nguyen

I die cut the lemons, leaves and some flowers from the Fresh Lemon Dies and Strawberry Patch Dies out of Bristol Smooth and some colored cardstock. I ink blended the lemons with Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide inks.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Fresh Lemon & Big Panda Fruit Themed Card by Hanh Nguyen

I stamped the panda from the Big Panda Stamps onto some Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock and used the coordinating coordinating dies to cut it out. I diecut the elements from Summer Jar Mug Dies out of the same white cardstock, some colored cardstock and a piece of patterned paper from the Polka-Dot Parade Paper. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen. 

COPIC COLORS:
Panda: C00/0/1/3/5/7, R000/20
Mug: B0000/000
Lemonade: Y0000/000/11/13
Lemon Slices: Y11/13/08
Straw: B00/02

Sunny Studio Stamps: Fresh Lemon & Big Panda Fruit Themed Card by Hanh Nguyen

For the trifold card base, I took a piece of white cardstock (5.5" x 11"). I trimmed 3/8" (0.325") off of the long end and scored it at the 2.25" and 6.5" mark. I lightly ink blended a little Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide to the top edge of the two side segments for the sky. I folded at the score lines to create a card with two flaps. I trimmed and adhered a piece of patterned paper from Gingham Pastel Paper for my tablecloth to the bottom of the two flaps. I stamped the sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps onto the cardbase before adhering all of the colored and inked elements and clear sequins.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Juicy Watermelon Fruit Themed Card by Hanh Nguyen

Thanks a Melon! For my second card, I have a sweet Thank You card featuring the new Juicy Watermelon DiesStitched Square Dies and the Scalloped Squares 1 Large Dies. I love this adorable die set! It comes with two different variations for the seeds. I chose my favorite, the heart-shaped seeds! I paired the watermelon slice with one of the super cute pandas from the Panda Party Stamps and a sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps

Sunny Studio Stamps: Juicy Watermelon Fruit Themed Card by Hanh Nguyen

I diecut the Juicy Watermelon Dies and the letters for MELON from the Chloe Alphabet Dies out of Bristol Smooth cardstock as some colored cardstock. I diecut two sets of the letters, layered and adhered them together for a bit of dimension and interest. I ink blended the edges with a bit of Candied Apple and Mowed Lawn Distress inks for some dimensions.

I stamped the panda from the Panda Party Stamps onto some Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock and used the coordinating Panda Party Dies to cut it out. I colored it with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Juicy Watermelon Fruit Themed Card by Hanh Nguyen

COPIC COLORS:
Panda: C00/0/1/3/5/7, R000/20

I used the Stitched Square DiesScalloped Squares 1 Large Dies and the Stitched Rectangle Dies to die cut the white and red squares and front panel. I stamped a sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps onto the front panel. I adhered the panda, watermelon and all of the letters onto the panel. The panel was adhered onto a piece of patterned paper from the Classic Gingham Paper before being adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").

Sunny Studio Stamps: Wild Cherry Fruit Themed Card by Hanh Nguyen

Thank You Cherry Much! For my third card, I created another Thank You card this time featuring the new Wild Cherry Dies. I really love all of the details on these fruit dies. There are embossed veins on the leaves and stipples on the lemons. And in this Wild Cherry Dies set, there is an awesome little diecut to add a fleck of light or shine onto the cherries. I love it! So much more prominent than my white gel pen.

I diecut the Wild Cherry Dies out of colored cardstock. I ink blended the edges with a bit of Candied Apple and Mowed Lawn Distress inks for some dimensions. I die cut the CHERRY from the Chloe Alphabet Dies out of black cardstock. Once again I diecut two sets of letters and adhered them to each other. I stamped and white heat embossed a sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps onto black cardstock. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Wild Cherry Fruit Themed Card by Hanh Nguyen

The cherries and letters were adhered to a white panel diecut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I added a piece of black cardstock behind the panel, then some craft foam before adhering the panel to a piece of patterned paper from Polka-Dot Parade Paper. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").
