Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm happy to be back with this super colorful interactive birthday card featuring, as very often, a mix & match of images from different sets. Once again the mouse family is coming back to make you smile, and to create my Sliding Window interactive panel, I used multiple Surprise Party pattern papers to make sure everything coordinates nicely.

I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them using the coordinating dies, and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in browns for the mice and bright rainbow colored for the balloons and presents. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Party Pets - small presents, party hats, balloons • Lazy Christmas - large presents • Harvest Mice + Merry Mice + Christmas Critters - mice.

I cut a 5 x 3,75 inches Surprise Party Banner panel using the largest Stitched Rectangle, cut the Sliding Window out of it, as well as the notch at the very top, and also cut a 5 x 3,25 inches Surprise Party Balloon panel.

I folded my Sliding Window Banner panel on the score lines, flipped it over, and added double sided tape to the slim bottom tab. I peeled the backing paper off this tab, flipped my Balloon panel over, and attached it at the back of my Sliding Window Banner panel, lining up the bottom edge of the Balloon panel with the edge of the slim tab. And I wanted to frame my sliding Banner panel nicely, so I cut a 5 x 3,75 inches Surprise Party Chevron panel, cut a Sliding Window out of it, as well as the notch at the top, I trimmed the center of that panel to get a frame, and stuck that frame to my Banner panel using liquid glue.

Next I cut a Surprise Party Sprinkles panel using the largest Stitched Rectangle, I flipped my Sliding Window panel over, and added foam strips along the bottom edge, on the long edges as well, but not along the top edge. I peeled all the backing papers off, and attached my sliding panel to the Sprinkles panel. Next I attached my panel to a 5,25 x 4 inches Surprise Party Polka dot panel, and finally to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Surprise Party Pink Starry panel.

And to complete my interactive panel, I attached the remaining piece of Chevron paper at the top of the Balloon pull tab panel, cut a gold mirror eyelet using a Sliding Window die, stuck that eyelet, pierced a hole through it, added gold thread twine with a rainbow bead to be able to pull the interactive panel, and a turquoise bow for a lovely decorative accent.

Next I decorated the front of my Sliding Window panel. I cut two Surprise Party Green Polka Dot panels as wide as the interactive panel (3 inches), used a die from the Ribbon & Lace Border die set to create two scalloped borders, attached those borders using liquid glue, and then stuck the images to the scalloped borders using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. To stick the balloons up in the air, I attached each of them to a slim strip of acetate, and then attached each end of the acetate strips next to each other at the back of the upper scalloped green border using liquid glue.

I created two different greetings: one for the pull tab, and one for the inside of the card. For the one on the pull tab, I simply white heat embossed "Happy Birthday" from Party Pets on black cardstock, I cut it with the matching die, and attached it to the pull tab using 1mm foam squares. For the greeting on the inside, I white heat embossed my Inside Greetings Belated Birthday sentiment on aqua cardstock, I framed it using the third smallest Limitless Labels 1 die, and I stuck the label inside the card using 1mm foam squares again.

To finish my card, I added a few extra details: I cut a 3 x 1/4 inch slim stripe out of a Surprise Party Stripe paper, and attached it to the tab right below the mice using liquid glue. Finally I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen. 

And that's it! What a fun and lovely belated birthday party! I hope that you like this new card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Balloon Numbers Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and as soon as I saw the Balloon Numbers stamp and die set, I knew I wanted to make a fairytale card for a sweet little girl that will be celebrating her third birthday this month! She loves all kinds of animals and that became the theme of this project.

To start, I die cut a panel from white card stock with the outer die from the Frilly Frames Stripes die. I created a ‘wood’ look by dry embossing this piece with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. Next, I turned this panel into a frame by using the second largest die from Stitched Ovals 2. I kept the inside oval for another project and selected a teal striped background from the Striped Silly pack. I love how this instantly gives you a bold backdrop.

Then it was time to browse through my stamps, selecting all the elements I wanted for my birthday scene. I went with a sweet fairy (Garden Fairy), several cute Garden Critters, two adorable birds with branch (A Bird’s Life), a darling duck (Puddle Jumpers), and the all-important cake (Make A Wish) and number 3 from the Balloon Numbers stamp and die set!

All the coloring was done with my trusty Copic markers and white gel pen details made the images pop even more.

To assemble the card, I glued the tree to the back of the wooden frame before adhering the striped panel. Next, I placed the cake at the bottom of the frame and added critters to the left and right. The sweet fairy is flying through the sky, holding the balloon number with a little piece of pink thread from my sewing box. Lastly, I positioned the two birdies near the branch. This whole scene was glued to a white card base. No need for a sentiment since ‘the birthday party with the pink 3’ was our centerpiece! Adding a few Champagne clear Jewels finishes this sweet project. 

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

Doggone Birthday Card with Amanda

Hey hey there, crafty friends! It’s Amanda here with you on this lovely day! What’s your feelings on slimline cards?! I honestly love them, but don’t make them too often! But, when you have all these adorable Doggone Birthday party pets, a slimline card is perfect!

To create this card, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 3.5”x8.5". I blended Catherine Pooler Mint ink across the entire panel. I then stamped the dots from the Background Basics 2 Stamps with In The Park ink in the upper right and bottom left corners of the panel. I did the same thing with the diagonal grid stamp, but in the upper left and lower right corners.

I then trimmed another piece of white cardstock to 3.25”x8.25”. On this piece, I masked off the bottom 3/4” with masking tape and then ink blended Cotton Candy across the entire panel. I glued the panels together.

Then, I started stamping the Party Pets and Doggone Birthday party animals. I colored them in with Copic markers and then die cut them out with their coordinating dies.

I put 3D foam squares behind all the images and sentiment and adhered them to the card. I added a little shadow for each little pet with an N1 and N2 Copic marker. I also glued a few Onyx Black Jewels on the card for a finishing touch.

And that’s the finished card! I had so much fun coloring these little guys in!  So many adorable pets! I hope you find some time to get crafty today!

Rounded Rectangle Window Die Focused Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here! Today I'm sharing a birthday themed shaker card. The Rounded Rectangle Window dies make it super easy to create a frame with faux stitching which can be used for shaker cards. 

I used the second largest Rounded Rectangle Window die in the set to create a frame for my shaker window. I constructed the shaker element in the traditional way by adding a panel of clear acetate behind the window. Then I added some skinny strips of foam tape behind all sides of the frame to create the shaker well.

Onto a white A2 size card base, I stamped the words "happy birthday" at an angle towards the left side. I used pastel clay sprinkles as the shaker bits and carefully placed them onto the center of the card. I then adhered the frame with acetate overtop. 

Next was the fun part of adding all the decorations to the outside of the shaker. I used cupcakes from the Scrumptious Cupcakes stamp set. I die cut some little flowers and leaves to embellish even further. These dies can be found in the Basic Mini Shapes 2 and Basic Mini Shapes 4 sets. 

Here are the Pink Fresh Studio ink colors I used to stamp the cupcakes and candle: Ocean Breeze, Aquamarine, Mermaid Cove, Soft Lilac, Candy Violet, Ballet Slipper, Sparkling Rose, Lemon Whip, Sunshine.

Tulip Path Background Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with an Easter card to share with you showcasing the beautiful Tulip Path Background Stamps. This gorgeous scene can be an easy backdrop for a variety of cards. 

I stamped the images from the Tulip Path Background Stamps set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Tulip Path Background Dies to die cut the bunnies and butterflies out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Bunnies: E50/51/53/3
Flowers: RV00/02/04, YG01/03
Trees: RV00/02/04, E21/23
Grass: G20/24
Mountains: BV000/00
Windmill: E23, C3
Path: E41/42
Sky: B0000/000

I used the largest die from the Stitched Square Dies to diecut the panel.

For the sentiment, I die cut the letters for EASTER using the Chloe Alphabet Dies 3 times out of white cardstock. I stacked and adhered the layers together. I took a strip of vellum (1.25" x 5.5") and stamped the Happy sentiment from the Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Stamps on it before adhering the word Easter onto it. I wrapped and folded the excess to the back of my colored panel.

I adhered a piece of craft foam to the back of the colored panel before adhering it to a piece of white cardstock and slightly larger green cardstock. The panels were adhered to a white 5.5" square cardbase. Finally, I adhered the bunnies and butterflies with foam tape for a bit of interest and dimension. 

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 Spring Release, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.
