Wild Cherry Die Focused Card with Cathy

Hey friends! Cathy here today with a clean and simple card for you featuring the Wild Cherry Dies.

I love the look of retro vintage fruit labels and I thought the Wild Cherry Dies would be perfect for this. First, I cut a piece of light aqua cardstock 4 1/2" x 6” and die-cut the piece using the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace Die (I die-cut it twice to span the entire cardstock piece). I then die-cut the piece with the largest Stitched Rectangle Die and adhered it centered on an A2 card front.

Next, I die-cut the second largest Scalloped Oval Mat 2 Dies from black and white cardstock. I adhered the black oval centered on the card front and inlaid the white circles from the white die-cut oval. I die-cut the third largest Stitched Oval Die from white cardstock and inked the top half lightly with Spun Sugar Distress ink. I then inked a sun ray stencil on the top half of the oval with Spun Sugar applying harder pressure for a subtle effect. I die-cut a piece of paper from the All is Bright Paper using the same Stitched Oval Die, cut across the oval at 1 1/2" and adhered it to the bottom of the inked oval. I then adhered this combined piece to the black oval.

To finish, I die-cut the Brilliant Banner 1 Die from white cardstock and stamped the sentiment using the Punny Fruit Greetings Stamps (I used Memento “LadyBug” ink for the “cherry” sentiment). I also heat embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder for a little shine. I then inked the banner with Lost Shadow Distress ink and added some shadows with gray Copics. I die-cut the banner again from black cardstock and layered/adhered the two together. I die-cut the cherries from white cardstock and colored them with Copics. Sweet and simple!

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: Tropical Birds Cards with Sara Zoppi

Hi crafty friends, Sara here! Today I am really thrilled to be here again, guesting for Sunny Studio Stamps! And today I have two cards featuring the recent released Tropical Birds stamp set. So, let's dive into the first one!

Look, how cure are all those parrots? You might know I love playing with sentiments and customizing them, and that's what I did here. I knew I wanted to use the rainbow palette since the tropical birds are always so colorful, so I stamped all the parrots and I figured out how I would have arranged them from left to right.

I then colored them all using the Copics listed below and I die cut them with coordinating dies.

- First parrot: RV69 – RV66 – V04 – V01 – RV00 – YR61 – E000 – YR09
- Second parrot: YR09 – YR04 – Y38 – Y35 – Y11 – YG00
- Third parrot: YG17 – YG25 – YG23 – YG01 – YG00 – BG11 – BG23 – BG13
- Fourth parrot:  BG11 – BG23 – B69 – B66 – BV13 – BV01

I then moved into the background, which I wanted to keep simple. I took a piece of 4"x5.5" white cardstock and I stamped the branch included in the Tropical Birds stamp set with black ink: I also did some mirror stamping to create the right side of the branch. Then I die cut the word PARROT using the Chloe Alphabet dies and some coordinated colored cardstock; I arranged them below the branch and I attached the parrots using foam tape. To complete the card, I stamped the rest of the sentiment (which is included in the same set) with black ink and I matted the panel with one of the patterned sheet included in the Rainbow Bright 6x6 Paper. And here's the finished result!

My second and last inspiration for today features the same Tropical Birds stamp set but I was inspired to create a scene with them.  

You might recognize the background: I took inspiration from one of Sandy Allnock's copic coloring (Magical Rainforest), which was perfect to set the two toucans included in the set.

I firstly hand drew the branch where the two toucans are sit and I stamped them with Memento Black ink. I colored everything with the Copics listed below, creating a one layer scene.

- Male toucan: 100 – C9 – BV29 – BV17 – YG00
- Female toucan: 100 – C9 – C7 – RV66 – Y00
- Toucans beaks: 100 – C8 – C7  C6 | YR68 – Y38 – Y19
- Background: 100 – C7 – E47 – YG17 – YG03 – YG97 – V04 – BG09 – BG18 – B000 – BG23 – BG11 – RV69 – RV14 – Y19 – Y38

I then trimmed the panel to 4,25"x5,5" and I decided to mat it with a 4,75"x6" white panel in order to create a white frame around. For the sentiment, I stamped it on two white strips and I attached them with foam tape below the branch. And here's the finished result!

Thanks for stopping by! I really hope you will like my projects and you will be inspired to create something! Hugs from Italy!

Designer's Choice: Cupcake Shape Die Focused Card with Nicky

Hello! This is Nicky with you on the Sunny blog today with a birthday card that uses the Cupcake Shape Dies.

To create this card, I took some sturdy white cardstock and I die cut the largest (outline) die twice because these pieces would form the front and back of the card. I used scissors to trim off the merest sliver from the bottom of the back cupcake panel so that the card wouldn't rock when it was standing upright on display. Also with this back panel I scored a line close to the top and applied ScorPal tape to the little section above the scored line and adhered the front and back of the card forms together. I then die cut most of the other elements from the die set from the same white cardstock and I began to colour all of the elements using Copic markers.

Cupcake Liner - RV17, RV06, RV13, RV21, RV000, RV0000
Cupcake Icing - E31, E51, E50
Cherry & Heart - R59, R39, R29, R27, R24
Cake - E24, E43, E42
Candle - RV21, W1, W0, W00, Y38, Y17, Y06

I glued the coloured elements to the front of the card base and attached the heart, candle and cherry with foam tape. I die cut the sentiment using the Chloe Alphabet Die from white then gold cardstock and adhered the letters together slightly offset for a white 'shadow' and then glued the sentiment in place.

To finish the card I stamped the 'wish you a' portion of the sentiment in Versamark Ink and heat embossed in white and added the strip with foam tape.

I stamped the cat of my choosing from Birthday Cat with black ink and made her to be a ginger tabby by colouring with Copics in YR24, Y26, YR20 and E00. I die cut the image with the Birthday Cat Dies and applied the image with more foam tape.

Last but by no means least, I applied some blobs of glue in several places on the icing and then scattered on some multi-coloured embellishments from my stash. I tapped off any excess and then the card was complete.

See you next Friday with something new and thanks for stopping by to read today.

Designer's Choice: Panda Party Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm super happy to be back with this extra busy slimline card that combines two of my favorite things: a stenciled background and alcohol marker coloring. I've had this idea of pairing the pandas from Panda Party with the panda umbrellas from Spring Showers for quite some time, and I'm thrilled to finally be able to share it with you!

I started off by stamping all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and my Graph'it brush markers. Obviously I used my black and light gray markers a lot to color my cute pandas and umbrellas, as well as greens, yellows and aquas for the leaves and flowers.

Here is a detailed list of the products I used: • Panda Party + Bighearted Bears - pandas • Seasonal Trees - log • Spring Showers - umbrellas • Fabulous Flamingos - leaves • Tiki Time - toucans • Bunnyville - butterflies • Tropical Birds - leaves, ivy, flowers • Silly Sloths - flowers, leaves.

To fit all my images in one single scene, I cut an 8.5 x 3.5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and colored it using stencils from my stash. On the lower part, I created a grass border using a slimline hillside stencil along with mowed lawn and rustic wilderness oxide inks. I then mixed some rustic wilderness oxide ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on my grass border.

Next I covered the whole upper part with salvaged patina oxide ink, and used a bamboo stencil along with peacock feathers oxide ink to create a bamboo forest. I also applied a little bit of peacock feathers oxide ink on the edges of my panel, and added texture, starting with water droplets that I dried using a paper towel. Next I mixed some peacock feathers oxide ink with water, added splatters on my bamboo background using my small brush, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. And finally, I used a rainy background stencil along with sparkling clear paste to make rain.

Once my panel was dry, I attached all my images on the panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and then worked on my greeting. I started off by white heat embossing the banner from Little Birdie on vellum, next I embossed "You're pandastic" from Panda Party inside the banner, cut that banner using the matching die, and attached it to my panel using clear foam squares. And as always I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

And that's it! I had so much fun making this card, it turned out so stinking cute, don't you think? Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Designer's Choice: Sealiously Sweet Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today we are going to the beach! The sun is out and so are the cute seals from the Sealiously Sweet set. Totally adorable with their little floaties!

To set the scene, I die cut a panel of white card stock with the beautiful Tropical Trees Backdrop dies. This die makes it super easy to create a beachy vibe in no time. I kept the frame part white and started inking up the sand with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide.

The top part of the background was colored with Salty Ocean ink. I added an extra dark ‘line’ with a blue Copic marker to define the separation between sea and sky.

One of the seals will be playing in the ocean so I used a small wave die from my stash to cut an opening. Next, I glued the white frame to a card base and added the two other pieces which fit like a puzzle.

After stamping three adorable seals and some accessories I did all the coloring with Copics. I used the same green and brown markers for the palm tree die cuts from Tropical Trees Backdrop dies.

The curved banner from Brilliant Banner 2 die was perfect to add to this tropical scene. The sentiment was taken from the versatile Heartfelt Wishes set and stamped in pink ink.

After I glued the palm trees in place, I added the sweet seals and accessories. The white ‘waves and foam’ were created with a Snow Pen which I normally only use on winter cards, but it delivered for this summer scene as well! I finished this project by sprinkling a few Crystal Clear jewels.

I had a lot of fun creating this sweet card and I hope to see your creations soon! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!
