Majestic Meadow Card with Amanda

Hey, happy crafty friends! It’s Amanda here on the blog with you today! I’m excited to share this unique shaker card with you and how I made it!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Majestic Meadow Shaker Card by Amanda Fitterer (featuring Tulip Path Background, Balloon Numbers, Balloon Alphabet)

I love the new Majestic Meadow Stamps SO much! There are just so many different ways you can use all the stamps in the set! I stamped the main background image on a piece of white cardstock. I trimmed the cardstock to 4”x5”. Then, I cut the panel into thirds.  

I trimmed a piece of black cardstock to 4.25” x 5.5” to use as my front panel. Because I’m human and make mistakes, making the 3 pieces exactly the same width and having the perfect gaps between them was a difficult task! Instead of using exact measurements, I trimmed the pieces a little at a time until they were almost perfectly aligned and the same width (or at least perfect enough to the naked eye!). Then, I glued them to the black panel. I sprinkled a mix of gold and copper sequins and then applied an A2 shaker pouch to the panel.

My adorable little bunnies are from the Tulip Path Background Stamps and the Balloon Numbers Stamps. I stamped them with black ink and then colored them in with Copic markers. I cut them out with the coordinating Tulip Path Background Dies and Balloon Numbers Dies.

I stamped the Balloon Alphabet Stamps with a WOW! Embossing pad. I applied polished gold embossing powder and then melted the powder with a heat tool.

I cut the balloons out with the Balloon Alphabet Dies. I put the balloons on a foam pad and then poked 2 small holes with a needle. I threaded white thread through the holes to make it look like the string was wrapped around the balloons. I did the same process with the little bunnies' hands.

I put 3D foam squares behind the bunnies and the balloons and then adhered them to the front of my card. I glued the entire thing to an A2 sized card base to complete the card! And, that’s it for this card! I love the monochromatic look, don’t you?!

Thanks so much for stopping by the Sunny Studio Stamps Blog today! See you back here soon with more cards!

Background Basics 2 Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun birthday card to share with you showcasing the Background Basics 2 StampsFoxy Friends and Little Birdie sets. I love that this Background Basics 2 Stamps allows you to create a patterned paper to match any scheme. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Background Basics 2 Birthday Card with Hanh Nguyen (Featuring Little Birdie, Brilliant Banner Dies, Inside Greetings Belated Birthday, Foxy Friends, Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies)

I stamped the foxes from the Foxy Friends stamps, birds from the Little Birdie stamps and the balloon from the Party Pets Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Foxy Friends DiesLittle Birdie Dies and Party Pets Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Fox: YR21/23/24/27 E09, W00/1/3, W7, R00/30
Birds: Y11/13/15 YR27, Y38, R20
Pink: RV21/23/25
Yellow: Y11/13/15
Green: YG03/17

Sunny Studio Stamps: Background Basics 2 Birthday Card with Hanh Nguyen (Featuring Little Birdie, Brilliant Banner Dies, Inside Greetings Belated Birthday, Foxy Friends, Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies)

For the background, I masked off the top portion of a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock and lightly ink blended the grass with Mowed Lawn DIstress Oxide ink. The second largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies was used to trim out the panel. A white gel pen was used to add some dots and interest to the grass.

For the sentiment, I used the Brilliant Banner 1 Die to die cut a banner out of the same Neenah Solar White cardstock. I didn't have a perfectly matched piece of pink cardstock so I colored with banner with the same pink Copic markers that I used for the colored images (RV21/23/25). I stamped one of the sentiments from the new Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Stamps set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the banner. I assembled the banner die and adhered the banner to the panel with foam tape.

I used Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink to stamp the Background Basics 2 Stamps onto another piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5"). Once the panel was dried, I trimmed a total of 1/8" off from each dimension of the panel. Once again, to create a matching cardstock, I used a Copic marker (RV25) to color the edge of a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5"). I adhered the two pink panels together.

I adhered colored images to the grassy panel with foam tape. A piece of craft foam was adhered to the back of the grassy panel before it was adhered to the two pink panels. Finally, I adhered the finished panel to an A2 white cardbase (4.25" x 5.5"I).

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. For more info, ideas and to check out the entire new Spring Release, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Foxy Friends Cards with Rachel Alvarado

Sunny Studio Stamps: Foxy Friends Cards by Rachel Alvarado (featuring Slimline Dies, Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies, Little Birdie)

Hello friends! This is Rachel with two cards to share with you today that feature the new Foxy Friends Stamps and Die Sets. These sweet little foxes are sure to bring a smile to anyone's face!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Foxy Friends Cards by Rachel Alvarado (featuring Slimline Dies, Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies, Little Birdie)

For my first card, I created a birthday box card using the MFT Stamps Outside the Box Level Up Die-namics for my card base. I first stamped all of my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then colored them with Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I used a combination of light teal and pink card stock pieces for my base as well as a light blending of Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink for my background sky. In addition to the Foxy Friends set, I also added a few birds from the adorable Little Birdies Stamps and Die Sets.

My second card features the Foxy Friends set combined with the new Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies. I die cut three layers of the rounded rectangles in different colors of card stock and adhered them together. I then die cut a strip of grass from green card stock using the Slimline Nature Border Dies and then a second time using one of the rounded rectangle dies. I once again used some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink for my background and lightly blended my grass area with some Pinkfresh Studio Grassy Knoll Ink.

Copic Colors Used:

  • Fox: 0, E00, E13, E08, E09
  • Teals: G000, BG34, W3, W5
  • Pinks: RV00, RV10, RV63, BG90, BG93

Party Pets Card with Nicky

Well hello there friends, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio blog and I'm sharing a birthday card with you that features the Party Pets stamp set. Please read on for the details and links.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Party Pets Birthday Card by Nicky Meeks (featuring Comic Strip Everyday Dies)

To kick things off I took a white A2 panel of cardstock and die cut using the Comic Strip Everyday Die. I already had one of these die cut and so just with the main frame I now had two and I adhered them together then to the card base. I used the grass strip to die cut the negative cuts and I ink blended the sky and grass and recessed the pieces back through the openings, glueing in place as I went.

I added a few die cut clouds and then I stamped the images from Party Pets using black ink and coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:

Clockwise from the top left:
Dog - w6, W5, W3, E42, E41
Cat/Cake - T4, T3, T2, T0, E44, E43, E41, C3, C1, C0, R39, R29, R24
Cat - E31, C3, C1
Cat - E74, E71, E41, E40
Dog - N4, N3, N1, N0
Balloon - YR09, YR07, YR04
Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00

Images were highlighted, and then die cut with the coordinating dies and backed with foam tape and applied to each little background scene.

To complete the card I just needed to take care of the sentiment which I stamped and heat embossed in a pretty blue, then die cut and applied with more foam tape to the window opening left blank for this purpose.

Thank you, I appreciate you stopping by Sunny's blog today to read and I will see you back here hopefully next Friday with something brand new. Happy crafting!
