Distinctive Door Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a warm and cozy card featuring the beautiful Distinctive Door Dies. For this fall inspired scene I also needed to bring on some colorful layered pumpkins (Pumpkin Patch dies).

To start, I cut a rectangle background panel with the outer die from Frilly Frames Chevron and turned it into a brick wall using a stencil from my stash and Tattered Rose Distress Oxide.

After gluing this piece to a white card base, I started cutting all the elements I needed for this card from white Neenah paper using the Distinctive Door Dies and the Pumpkin Patch dies. The wreath and bow are part of the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-On.

I used a sticky mat to keep all the elements in place while I ink blended with my blending brushes. The muted colors for this card are Tattered Rose, Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge, Vintage Photo, Fossilized Amber, Salvaged Patina, and Uncharted Mariner. For the sweet girl and boy from Fall Kiddos, I selected Copic markers in similar tones. 

While browsing my stash I found this amazing sentiment (Autumn Greetings) and realized it would perfectly fit on top of the door frame (Versafine Onyx Black ink). To put the scene together, I used repositionable tape and worked in layers. As a final embellishment, I added a few Gold Jewels.

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Distinctive Door Die Focused Card with Amanda

Hey there, crafty friends! It’s Amanda here sharing a card I made using the new Distinctive Door Dies! I had so much playing with these products and creating some festive Holiday cards!

To create this cozy little card, I die-cut the pieces from the Distinctive Door Dies. I also die-cut the wreath, bow, trees, and Christmas lights from the Distinctive Door Holiday Add-on Dies. I love how versatile these die sets are! If you missed my Sunny Studio’s 9th Birthday Celebration Blog Hop card using them on a Halloween card, you can view that blog post here!

I used Copic markers to color all of my pieces. I love using Copic markers - as opposed to colored cardstock or ink blending - because I feel like I can give the pieces more depth this way. I place the pieces on a piece of scrap paper so that I don't ruin my workspace!

Next, I stamped my cozy little friends from the Toasty Hugs Stamp Set. I colored them in with Copic markers and then cut them out using the coordinating dies. For my background, I used a piece of paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper pack. The “house” is a piece of cardstock ink blended with Catherine Pooler Melon Ice ink.

I stamped my sentiment from the Inside Greetings Seasons Stamps with black ink on the house.  (PS, I LOVE this stamp set! All of the sentiments are just perfect for the inside or the front of a holiday card!)

You’ll see I also added a few snowflakes inked up with Catherine Pooler Cummerbund ink. I borrowed these from the Snowmen in Sweaters Stamps. Of course, I needed to add a few sequins as well - no card is complete without them!

That’s my adorable holiday card to share with you today!!  I hope you enjoyed it and I hope you find some time to get crafty today! Thanks for stopping by the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today! Hope you have fun shopping the new goodies from the New Release!

Autumn Garland Cards with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here and I have a two for one post today showcasing the beautiful Autumn Garland stamp set. This set includes a large swag like image that can stand alone making it very easy to complete a card. 

I decided to makes two cards with slightly different layouts. Both cards have a textured check background created with the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die and some solid color card stock that coordinates with colors in the garland. 

I Copic colored the garland image and then used the companion Autumn Garland die to cut it out.  You may notice subtle differences between my two autumn garlands. Can you spot them?

Copic colors used are listed below:
pinecones E41, E42, E44; dark berries R56, R59; light berries R81, R85, R89; orange leaves YR12, YR16, YR18; yellow leaves Y32, Y35, YR24; green leaves YG61, YG63, G40, G46

One is stamped in black ink and the other in brown.  The garland image on the mustard yellow card has been splattered with white and gold paint. The last difference is I colored the berries and green areas on the orange card a bit lighter.  This seemed to brighten up the image and make the orange leaves stand out more. 

To finish this card I added the greeting (included in the Autumn Garland stamp set) and some jute twine.

Brilliant Banner 4 Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh. I am so excited to share some fun Christmas gift tags that I made featuring the new Brilliant Banner 4 Dies and the Roly Poly Penguins set. The curvature of this banner die was just the perfect match for the Scalloped Tag Circle Dies.

I stamped the penguins from the new Roly Poly Penguins Stamp set and the trees from the new Snowmen in Sweaters Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuexedo Black ink and used the coordinating Roly Poly Penguins Dies and Snowmen in Sweaters Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7/9, W00/0, Y38 YR04, R00/20
Trees: YG03/17, E23, B000
Red: R22/24/27/29/39
White: C00/1/3
Silver: C1/3

I used the Scalloped Tag Circle Dies to die cut 4 large tags out of white cardstock. Next, I used the 2.75" circle die from the Nesting Circle Infinity Dies to die cut 4 circles out of Bristol Smooth cardstock. The smaller circles fit perfectly into the center of the scalloped tags. Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks were used to ink blend the top portion of the smaller circles. Once the ink was dry, I added some snow with a white gel pen. I adhered the smaller inked circles onto the scalloped tags.

I die cut the Brilliant Banner 4 Dies 4 times out of a red cardstock. I stamped sentiments from the Inside Greetings - Holiday and Feeling Frosty Stamp sets with Versamark Watermark ink onto the banners before white heat embossing. I assembled the banners and attached them to the tags with liquid adhesive before adding some highlights with a white gel pen.

I adhered the trees onto tags with liquid adhesive and adhered the penguins with some foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. I finished each tag with a silver bell and some twine.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my tags. Be sure to check out the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop for more info and inspirations. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Crisp Apple & Wood Barrel Cards with Rachel Alvarado

Hello crafty friends! It's Rachel from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I am so happy to be back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with some apple-themed projects that feature new products from their latest release. This release is absolutely gorgeous, so I hope you'll love it as much as I do!

All of my cards today feature the yummy new Crisp Apple Dies. For all of my cards, I die cut a variety of both large and small apples from a piece of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb Card Stock. To add color, I then blended each apple with a combination of Candied Apple, Lumberjack Plaid, Ground Espresso, and Scorched Timber Distress Inks. I blended my darkest colors on the left side of my apples and worked my way to the right with my lighter colors, leaving a very light spot on the top left portion of the apple to give it more of a 3D appearance. I did the same for my leaves, but used Mowed Lawn Distress Ink instead.

For my apple core area, I die cut it from a piece of light beige card stock and lightly blended the bottom left area of this piece with some Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink.

I then added a rectangular layer of lattice and scalloped circles with a piece of white card stock that I had die cut using the Frilly Frames Lattice Die Set. Next, I added a red circle to which I adhered a white scalloped circle that I had die cut using the beautiful Scalloped Circle Mat 3 Dies. Lastly, I added my apples with some 3D foam adhesive tape as well as my sentiment (from the new Punny Apple Greetings Stamp Set) that I had heat embossed to a strip of black card stock with some Fine Detail White Embossing Powder.

For my second project, I combined the Crisp Apple Dies with the new Wooden Barrel Die Set. After ink-blending my apples, I went ahead and die cut my wooden barrel from a piece of Kraft card stock. I then added some shading my barrel by blending the vertical slats in the barrel with some Ground Espresso and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink to give it more depth. Next, I die cut my "metal" barrel pieces from some silver shine card stock to make it look more realistic.

To give my background some texture, I die cut my red background piece with the new Buffalo Plaid Straight Die and then layered it with a piece of white card stock to which I had added some more texture using the Dotted Diamond Portrait Die. I also added a red scalloped circle once again using the Scalloped Circle Mat 3 Dies and layered it with a white stitched circle that I had die cut with the Stitched Circle Small Dies. To finish my card, I again heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto a banner that I had die cut from red card stock using the Brilliant Banner 1 Die.

For my last card, I combined the Crisp Apple Die Set with the previously released Slimline Scalloped Frame and Slimline Nature Border die sets. I also added some cute little mice that I had stamped using both the Harvest Mice and Merry Mice clear stamp sets. I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock, colored them with Copic Markers, and used their coordinating die sets to cut them out.

For my background sky, I lightly blended some Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink and added some spatters of diluted Copic Opaque White Paint and some light brown dots from Copic Markers for added interest. I also added some white ink spatters to my grass area after I had ink-blended it with some Mowed Lawn Distress Ink. I stamped my sentiment from the Punny Apple Greetings Stamp Set onto the top right corner with black ink and once again added my images with 3D foam adhesive tape for a pop of dimension.

I hope you enjoyed my cards today and will check out these amazing new products! Thanks so much for dropping by! If you want more card making inspiration, feel free to also check out my Instagram Feed! Wishing you all a lovely day!
