Autumn Garland Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am stretching the use of this beautiful Autumn Garland stamp and die set by turning it into a snowy holiday card! I love when supplies give you options and this garland can be used for lots of occasions like birthdays or weddings.

First, I cut a piece of coral card stock to an A2 size and glued it to a white card base. The white scalloped panel was created with the outer die of the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace dies. I always like to add some texture to a white surface, so I ‘dry embossed’ it with the Buffalo Plaid Straight die. A few splatters of Distress Oxide Speckled Egg finished this piece.

After stamping and die cutting  the gorgeous Autumn Garland stamp, I selected some teal, grey and red Copic markers for the coloring. I love that color combo for my Christmas cards! I knew I wanted extra dimension to this garland and the poinsettia from the Woolen Mitten set was the perfect match. I die cut four leaves and used the same red copic set to add the shading.

No holiday card of mine is finished without a lot of white splattering, creating the look of snow. It’s my favorite part of making these winter projects! I added the garland and the flower to the white panel with foam tape.

The ‘Merry Christmas’ sentiment was selected from the Bells & Bauble set and I love that it has a matching die! The font was the perfect size for this design, and I used a red ink from my stash for the stamping. A few pink jewels from the Pastel Jewel Mix were all this card needed.

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

Roly Poly Penguins Card with Amanda

Hey there, crafty friends! It's Amanda here sharing this adorable Roly Poly Penguins card I created with some Sunny Studio products.

To create this card, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4"x5.25".  I secured the cardstock in my MISTI and grabbed my Snowmen in Sweaters Stamps. This stamp set has the "Warm Winter Wishes" sentiment that I just love! I placed that sentiment stamp in the center of the cardstock, inked it up, and stamped it.  

Next, I placed my Roly Poly Penguins Stamps starting as close to the sentiment as I could, while still leaving a little bit of the room around the sentiment.  I found it was easiest to only stamp one penguin at a time to ensure the card was balanced as I went. With 7 penguins to choose from, it took some time! It's hard to choose because I didn't want to cut any of them off, but I knew I needed to!

Once I had all my little guys stamped out, I colored them in with Copic markers. I decided on a color palette of pink, orange, and blue-green. 

Here are the markers I used:
BG000, BG10, BG11, BG13
R000, R00, R20, R22
YR04, 09
W5, W6, W7, W8, W9

Once they were all colored in, I used a White Gelly Roll Pen to add some lines and dots to make the penguins look even more adorable (if that's even possible!). I adhered the card front to my card base and I was finished! Which penguin is your favorite?!  

Well, that's all for me today, friends! I hope you're finding some time to get crafty! Thanks for stopping by the Sunny Studio blog today! Have a great day!

Wood Barrel Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hello! Leanne here with you today. Have you made a trip to your local pumpkin patch yet? It's that time of year for pumpkin everything! When I saw the new Wood Barrel dies I immediately thought of filling it with pumpkins. I've created a fall card with my pumpkin filled barrel and had a little help from the Harvest Mice stamp set. 

Here are all the Sunny Studio supplies you'll need to recreate this card:

• Wood Barrel dies  
• Pumpkin Patch dies - this set includes dies for the pumpkins plus the leaves & vines
• Harvest Mice stamp set - mice images plus pumpkin kisses sentiment 
• Buffalo Plaid Straight dies - used with kraft card stock
• Straight Stripes stencil - used white pigment ink for the stenciling

I love the Buffalo Plaid Straight dies with the Straight Stripes stenciled overtop because this combo creates some interest to the background without distracting from the main focal point. 

Copic colors for the stamped images are as follows:  N0, N2, N4, R00, R20, R21(for the mice);  YR21, YR12, YR18, YG63(for the tiny pumpkin)

The barrel pieces were die cut from kraft & cream card stocks. I used a brown ink to add shading before assembling. I die cut the pumpkin layers from a light orange card stock and then shaded with dark orange ink. The leaves and vines were die cut from kraft and inked with olive green and a rusty brown colors.

Happy Howl-o-ween Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh. I am excited to be back on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today to share a slimline card and a pair of shaker tags featuring the Happy Howl-o-ween set from the latest release. These adorable pups are all dressed up and ready to head out to celebrate Halloween.

I stamped the images from the Happy Howl-o-ween Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Happy Howl-o-ween Dies to diecut them out. I colored with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Dogs: E51/53/33/99, C00/1, R00/20, R22, C5
Pumpkins: Y35/38 YR04/07, C5
Hat: C3/5/7/9, Y38 YR04/07
Bones: E81/41 W3

For the background, I took a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock (8.5" x 3.5"). I created a homemade 3" mask by diecutting a piece of masking paper with a 3" circle die. INSIDE TIP: for smaller masks such as this one, I use a full-adhesive Post-It sticky note to make my masks. I applied the mask to the center of the slimline panel to create a moon. I ink blended the background with Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Prize Ribbon, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot Distress inks. Once the panel was dry, I splattered it with some Opaque White Copic ink that I slightly diluted with water. 

Next, I stamped one of the sentiments from the set with Versamark Watermark ink and heat embossed with some Fine Detail White Embossing Powder onto a piece of black cardstock (8.5" x 1.25"). I used the grassy edge die from the Picket Fence Die set to trim the upper edge of the strip. I adhered the strip to the bottom edge of the panel. I adhered the colored images before adhering the panel to a white cardbase (8.5' x 3.5").

I had a few colored images left so I decided to make some matching shaker tags for my card. i used the tag die with the window die attached from the Mini Mat & Tag 3 Die set to diecut 5 tags with the windows out of black cardstock, one solid tag (no window) out of clear acetate and one solid tag out of a patterned paper from the Polka Dot Parade Paper Pack for each tag. I stacked and adhered 4 black tags together with liquid adhesive. I added the clear acetate to the top before adhering the final layer of black tag. I added some of the colored bone images and sparkling clear sequins from my stash. I closed off the back with the layer of patterned paper tag. I repeated the same process for the second tag.

I stamped the sentiments from the same stamp set onto a 3/8" strip of white cardstock, trimmed it to the desired length and used a hole puncher to create the sentiment strip. I used some festive ribbon and twine to attach the strips to the tags. 

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

Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Fall Themed Cards with Sara Zoppi

Hi crafty friends, Sara here! Today I am so happy and grateful to be here again, guesting for Sunny Studio Stamps! And today I have two cards featuring some of the recent released fall products. So, let's dive into the first one!

Fall is around the corner and as soon as I saw the newest Autumn Garland Stamp set I fell in love and I knew I would have created a card with some unconventional fall colors. If you know me, you might know I am a big fan of the huge Sunny Studio critters and this bear included in the Holiday Hugs Stamp was the perfect match to this garland. So I firstly stamped the garland, the big bear and the small pinecone he is keeping using a dark brown copic friendly ink (Memento Espresso Truffle) and I started coloring everything with the copics listed below. I went for a desaturated palette, and I absolutely E08 loved the result.

- Bear: E44 – E43 – E42 – E40 – RV34 – R20
- Pinecone: E59 – E57 – E35 – E31
- Orange combo:– E97 – YR21
- Purple combo: RV69 – RV66 – V01
- Olive green combo: BG96 – YG95 – YG93
- Teal combo: BG78 – BG18 – BG72
- Berries: R89 – R56 – R35 – R43

I then die cut the images using Autumn Garland Dies and Holiday Hugs Dies and I moved into the background. I wanted a soft look and I decided to use the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die as a hot foil plate. This background die was perfect to get a light impression of foiling, I used a shining gold on white cardstock (every die can be used with the hot foil system, the look is really soft because the "lines" are really thin). I also white heat embossed the autumn word that comes from the Autumn Garland Stamp set on some teal cardstock and I completed the sentiment with a purple "greetings". I arranged the colored images and the sentiment on the background. 

To complete the card, I matted the foiled panel (which is slightly smaller than 4,25"x5,5") with a purple coordinated cardstock and then with a 6"x4,75" white panel too. And here's the finished result!

My second and last inspiration for today is more "spooky" and features the Happy Howl-o-ween Stamp set.

This is an almost one layer card and I know it looks more "intimidating" because there is an hand drawn background. But I can assure you it is not soo hard to do. I firstly stamped the four Halloween dogs using some Judikins Masking Paper: I started with the two in the foreground and then moved into the back. 

Then I colored everything with the copics listed below.

- Pumpkin: E08 – YR68 – E97 – YR15 – YR12 – YR21 | T7 – T4 – YR68 – Y13
- Dogs: T10 – T9 – T7 – T6 – T5 – E43 – E41
- Background: T10 – T8 – T7 – T5 – T4 – T3 – T2 – T1 – T0

For the background I firstly colored the sky, leaving a white hole as the moon. I then added layers of branches to create the wood.

I then trimmed the panel to 4"x5,25" and I decided to matt it with a 4, 5"x5,75" white panel in order to create a white frame around. For the sentiment, I die cut the word BOO with the Chloe Alphabet Dies (I die cut it twice from orange glitter cardstock and a black die cut with a small offset). I then added the white stripe with the orange "Happy Howl-o-ween" stamped sentiment. 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!
