Brilliant Banner 3 Die Focused Card with Nicky

Hello everyone this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio blog with a new card featuring new products from the latest release, which is all available for purchase.

I started by creating a layer of panels starting with kraft cardstock then a slightly smaller white panel and then slightly smaller again using a patterned sheet from the Sweater Weather 6 x 6 Paper. I glued these together and then adhered the stack to a prepared card base.

Next up, I die cut the oval using the Stitched Oval 2 Die and I ink blended the focal point using Distress Oxide Ink in Spun Sugar. I backed the oval with some white craft foam and glued it to the patterned background.

I die cut the different parts of the Brilliant Banner 3 Die from white cardstock. I adhered the pieces together and then stamped the sentiment from Punny Apple Greetings using 'Lipstick' Ink from The Stamp Market. I backed the sentiment strip/banner with dimensional foam tape and adhered it to the bottom of the oval.

Using sturdy white cardstock and the Crisp Apple Die, I die cut all the different parts to form the apples and apple slices. I used the Lipstick ink again to ink blend red parts and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink (used sparingly sometimes) to ink blend the green parts. I assembled and glued together the different parts and then backed them with dimensional foam tape and arranged them, tucking them behind the banner and building up and out until it looked balanced and finishing with a small apple under the banner for an accent.

For the finishing touch I adhered water droplet style embellishments in place which I thought felt right with the Crisp Apple slices and with that this card was complete.

I appreciate you taking the time to read about my card today and hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Wood Barrel Die Focused Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this autumn card featuring the Wood Barrel that I mixed with many other things to create this lovely still life autumn scene.

I started off by cutting a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel that I stenciled using a fall leaves stencil from my stash. When I stencil on kraft, I often like to create a white base first in order to make my colors pop, so that's what I did here, and then I used peacock feathers, fossilized amber, peeled paint, carved pumpkin, festive berries and vintage photo oxide inks to create a colorful background. I mixed some vintage photo oxide ink with water and added splatters to my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces, starting with a Fancy Frame Rectangle that I cut out of light brown woodgrain cardstock, colored with vintage photo oxide ink on the edges, and attached to my panel using 1mm foam squares. Next I cut the Wood Barrel out of kraft cardstock and silver mirror cardstock. The sunflower is from Botanical Backdrop, the leaves and acorns are from Autumn Greenery, and the pumpkins are from Pumpkin Patch. I cut all those pieces out of colored cardstock that match with the background, added more depth to each element using oxide inks and copic opaque white ink, and once everything was dry, I stuck all the pieces to my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

For my greeting, I started off by cutting my Brilliant Banner 3 pieces out of dark kraft cardstock. I added a little bit of vintage photo oxide ink on the edges, white heat embossed my "Autumn Blessings" greeting from Turkey Day on the main element, and then attached both pieces right below the Wood Barrel to finish my card. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this sweet autumn card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time.

Happy Howl-o-ween Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and we are getting ready for the spooky season with this fun ‘Howl-o-ween’ card using almost all the sweet dressed up dogs from the Happy Howl-o-ween stamp and die set. I loved these cuties so much that I went with a card design that could feature six of them!

To start, I die cut a panel from white card stock with the outer border of the Frilly Frames Stripes Die. In my stash I found a giant spiderweb stencil and used it to ink up the panel with Wilted Violet Distress Oxide. For extra interest, I added a few black ink splatters with a small paint brush.

Once the ink was dry, I ran the panel twice through the die cutting machine with the Window Trio Square Dies, thus obtaining 6 windows for my critters.

Next, I prepared a white card base and added 6 matching squares from two patterns of the Subtle Grey Tones pack. I have used these papers so many times before, they give that extra little texture to your card without being too busy! Then I could layer the purple panel with small foam tape strips for dimension.

After selecting 6 cute dogs and some accessories from the Happy Howl-o-ween stamp set, I browsed through my stash and also selected the witch hat, the cauldron (Bewitching stamps) and some small pumpkins (Truckloads of Love).

All the coloring was done with my trusty Copic markers and white gel pen details made the images pop even more. I played around with the placement of the dogs and the pumpkins trying to evenly spread the colors over the panel. Once happy with the positioning, I mounted all the critters and accessories with foam tape to the window frames.

My sentiment was taken from the Happy Howl-o-ween stamp and stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. I think it’s a perfect match for this card. Adding a few Crystal clear Jewels finishes this sweet project. 

I can’t wait to see all these adorable dogs featured in your projects! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Crisp Apple & Wood Barrel Card with Amanda

Hey there, friends! It's Amanda here sharing a card I made using some of the New Release items! Although I love that this release has some fabulous Fall and Winter products, I'm really not ready for the weather to turn cold! Are you looking forward to it or hanging on to the summer, like me?! I am sharing this cheery card that will be perfect for the beginning of the school year! Every teacher deserves a handmade card in my book!  

To create this card, I started by swiping my Catherine Pooler Rockin' Red ink over some white card stock. Then, I die-cut some of the new Crisp Apple Dies. Once they were cut, I used Cranberry Fizz ink to make the edges darker. For the leaves, I used Melon Ice and the stems are Sand Castle.

Next, I die-cut the new Wood Barrel Dies. For the barrel, I used Copic markers to create even more dimension. I used C3, C5, and C7 for the metal bands. I used E30, E31, E34, and E35 for the wood. For my background, I trimmed a piece of paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper Pack to 4"x5.25". I adhered this paper to my A2 card base. 

Now for the tricky part ... Getting my apples in the barrel! I played around with them until I was happy with how they looked and then put 3D foam squares behind them. I also propped up my barrel with 3D foam tape.

Once I had my card looking good, I could create my sentiments! I used the new Punny Apple Greetings Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiments on black card stock using a WOW! Embossing Pad.  I applied white embossing powder and then melted the powder with my heat tool. I used a trimmer to cut the sentiments out and then applied foam tape to the backs of them. I adhered them to my card and then added some sequins for a little bit of extra fun!

I think my kiddo's teacher is going to love this card! I hope you enjoyed my card and feel inspired to make something crafty yourself now!

Thanks for stopping by the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today! Hope you have fun shopping the new goodies from the New Release!
