Sealiously Sweet Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun birthday card featuring these adorable seals from the Sealiously Sweet set. I just adore the sweet faces on these critters and love that there's a variety of positions and props.

I stamped the images from the Sealiously Sweet Stamps and the island and tree from the Tropical Scenes Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Sealiously Sweet Dies and Tropical Scenes Dies to die cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Seals: W00/1/3, W3, R20
Tree: E33/37/39, YG01/03/17/67
Sand: E30/31/33
Watermelon: R22/24, YG03/17
Floaties: R05/24/29, Y13/15/19, B12/14/16
Sunglasses: B14, R24, T5
Water droplets: B0000/00

For the background, I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and ink blended Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide inks. I splattered a little water onto the ink to create a bit of distressed interest. Once the ink was dry, the panel was trimmed with the largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Dies set. 

I stamped the "Have a Sealiously Awesome Birthday" sentiment from the Sealiously Sweet set onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. A piece of craft foam was added to the backside of the panel before it was adhered to a white A2 card base.

I adhered the island and its contents to the panel with liquid adhesive. The three seals in the water were adhered with foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. 

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

Garden Critters 4-Card Set with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some bug-themed cards for Summer using our Garden Critters Stamps.

I thought it would be fun to challenge myself to make all four of my cards today using the same core group of five Sunny Studio supplies and a single design template or "sketch" to speed up the cardmaking process. By doing this I was able to focus on making each card feel unique with the individual stamp images featured and the patterned papers I used. I was shocked to realize I was able to complete 4 cute cards in the amount of time that I would usually only get one or two cards done!

I will also note, that for each new release, I always stamp every square inch of my favorite Copic Marker paper with as many images from a new stamp set that I can squeeze onto a 8.5" x 11" sheet so I can have a bunch of die-cut images ready to go for any cards I create promoting the new sets. For all my cards I'm sharing this summer, I am also challenging myself to use up as many leftover images as possible that I have already stamped and die-cut, but that never made it onto a card. It always makes me feel so good putting them to use and trying to use up every last piece. Not only does it give these scraps of paper new life to make someone happy, but it is also helping me clear off my desk with the huge bin of stamped images I have sitting here, where I have them grouped in baggies and sorted by stamp set.

Card No.1: My first card combines the ladybugs, grasshoppers, and caterpillar from our Garden Critters Stamps. These images nicely complement each other with a complementary red and green color scheme. These colors aren't just for Christmas, and I love how good they look together for a fresh summer card! To frame my scene I layered our Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies with the scalloped frame from our Mini Mat & Tag 2 Dies. Our super cute Spring Fling Paper pack features happy prints in a rainbow of pastel colors, so many of the prints weren't going to work with my red ladybugs, but this grass print from the set was a perfect match!

Card No. 2: For my next card I used the sunshine, bees, and punny greeting from our Garden Critters Stamps. However, I'm only realizing in this moment that I unintentionally cheated on my challenge because the beehive I had previously stamped and saved with my die-cuts is actually from our Just Bee-cause Stamps. My little scene worked better with a vertical orientation, so I love that this simple design works well for both portrait or landscape-style cards. 

Card No. 3: Not all the prints in the Spring Fling Paper pack include aqua tones, so this pastel rainbow chevron-patterned paper was so perfect for my dragonflies, which I had already colored in iridescent shades of lilac and aqua. Their big bug eyes make me smile every time I see them!

Card No. 4: I will admit, I meant to adhere this little scene to the card no.3 background with the "You make my heart flutter" sentiment, but I absentmindedly glued it down tight to the wrong card while watching tv at 2am. This particular card background was supposed to be reserved for my first card. I was so mad at myself, realizing the ladybugs weren't going to work with the pastel chevron striped background I had left, but then I realized this particular combo didn't look bad together, so after my mini internal tantrum, I decided to shift things around like musical chairs and to create a fourth card. With that in mind, I ended up with two cards with the grass background (because my first card wasn't going to work with any of the other prints from the set). Still, I was pleased that I was able to make it work, without too much heartache, other than using up another sheet of my favorite grass paper--It's one of those prints that I save every square inch of because it works so well for scene-building cards.

That wraps up my projects for this morning. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today.💛
