Just Bee-Cause Card with Marine

Bzzz bzzz crafty friends! This is Marine here, and I'm super happy to be back with this extra buzzzy slimline card featuring Mr Bear and his bee friends. Another mix & match that I very much enjoyed working on.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I used the coordinating dies to cut them all and then colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph’it brush markers. Browns and greens for the branches, and of course a black and yellow color palette for the bees, beehives and Mr Bear's accessories.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Just Bee-Cause - bees, beehives • Holiday Hugs - bear • Little Birdie - branches • Garden Critters - watering can • Chubby Bunny + Chickie Baby - flowers.

Once the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and moved on to the background. I cut a 7,75 x 2,75 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel using the stitched mat die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set, and I covered the entire panel with clouds using a cloudy stencil from my stash along with salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks. I splattered water all over the panel and dried it with a paper towel, mixed some copic opaque white ink with water and added more splatters to the panel using a slim brush, and then I did the same with peacock feathers oxide ink for more contrast.

I used the same slimline die as my main panel to cut two pieces out of green cardstock, and cut a grass border out of each piece using a die from the Picket Fence die set. I added a little bit of rustic wilderness oxide ink to the edges of both borders, mixed a little bit of that same ink with water and added green splatters to the borders, as well as white ink splatters, and then I white heat embossed "Just bee-cause" from Just Bee-Cause on the smallest grass border.

I assembled and attached everything to my panel, starting at the very bottom with the largest grass border first using 1mm foam squares. Next I stuck Mr Bear using the same foam adhesives, added the small grass border on the foreground using 2mm foam squares, and then attached the rest of the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares again.

Next I created the card base and first cut a slimline scalloped panel out of dark gray cardstock using another die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame die set, I cut an 8 x 3 inches white slimline panel that I attached to the scalloped panel using 1mm foam tape, and stuck my scene panel to the white panel using liquid glue. I attached the whole thing to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches dark yellow card base, and to complete my card, I applied white blizzard nuvo drops to the bees wings to make them sparkle.

And that's it! Another super cute and fun mix & match that turned out pretty cool I think. I hope that you like it too! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Balloon Rides Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and I had so much fun making this sweet ‘Good Luck’ card with the adorable critters from the Balloon Rides Stamp and die set.

After creating a white card base, I added some texture to the corners with a dotted stencil from my stash and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide and put that aside to work on a layered circle piece.

I needed to figure out the size of the inner circle, so I started by cutting all the letters for the ‘Good Luck’ sentiment with the Chloe Alphabet dies. Using some soft pastels in pink and teal from the Flirty Flowers papers as my top layer and cutting additional letters from white card stock to create that ‘chipboard’ look by stacking them all together. Combining dies from the Stitched Circles Small an Stitched Circles Large sets worked great for the look I was going for.

I also love a scalloped border, which was obtained by using the outer die from the Fancy Frames Circles. This piece comes apart and I was able to sandwich one of the white circles between the two layers. For my smallest white circle, I repeated the pink dots with the stencil to mirror my card base.

I glued the stacked circles to my card base and added the letters in a playful way, which adds to the fun character of the card. Last but definitely not least, I stamp and colored (Copic Markers) the cute critters (Balloon Rides Stamp) and scattered them around the words. To finish this sweet project, I glued a ring of Aquamarine Jewels on top of the pink scalloped border.  

I love mixing and matching sets and I hope you got inspired by this idea! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Grad Cat Card with Amanda

Hey everyone, it's Amanda here. It’s that time of year! Have you made all your cards for your grads of 2025?! I’ve got mine ready! Feel free to steal this idea for your own cards!

First, die cut the Comic Strip Speech Bubbles frame with white cardstock. Keep all of the rectangle cutouts for stamping on. Glue the frame to an A2 card base (4.25”x5.5”).

Take the square from the bottom right corner and stamp the little kitty from the Grad Cat Stamps with your stamping platform. Keep the cat in place and don’t clean the stamp yet! Place a piece of masking tape (like Heffy Memo Tape or a sticky note) over the stamped cat. Using the leftover ink that’s still on your cat, stamp the image onto your masking tape. Using scissors, fussy cut the outline of your cat. Place the mask over the stamped image of the cat. Then, ink up the book and stamp the image so it looks like the cat is sitting on the book.

Use the same process to stamp the other 2 rectangles with the dogs from the Puppy Dog Kisses Stamps and the books from the Grad Cat Stamps. You’ll need to make several masks for the books! Keep the masks you used from your first rectangle to use on the other rectangle!

Place your card base (that has the frame glued to it) in your stamping platform and stamp the sentiments directly onto it. I used a combination of sentiments from both stamp sets!

Remove all your masks from your square and rectangles and get ready to color! I used Copic markers, but you could use any coloring medium you prefer! After I finish coloring my stamped images, I always add some white highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen.

Once they’re all colored in, apply some foam tape to the backs of the square and rectangles and adhere them to your card front. Finally, add some gems! I’ve used one gem each from the Gold Jewels, Bright Jewels, and Pastel Jewels.

That is it for me today! I hope you enjoyed this post and come back tomorrow for more inspiration!!

Everything's Rosy & Potted Rose Floral Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some floral rose-themed cards using our Everything's Rosy Stamps and Potted Rose Stamps.

For my first card, I paired the layered stamp images from our Everything's Rosy Stamps with the smaller blossom and leaf from the Potted Rose Stamps to adorn the bottom-left and top-right corners. For my card background, I turned to our Blooming Frame Dies. I used the die without a shim, which helped keep the pieces in place. I also quickly adhered them all to a piece of printer paper with liquid adhesive to help keep the pieces intact. After I had done this, I inked up my background using the same dye inks I had used to ink my leaves, fading it towards the center. Finally, I die-cut the "Happy Birthday" phrase from white cardstock using the same die set to place in the center.

For my next card, I used the same small blossom and leaf from the Potted Rose Stamps to completely cover a 1.5" strip of green cardstock. The green base meant that even if small sections peeked through, it would blend in with the leaves and contrast nicely with the white cardstock from my overlapping card panels. I then die-cut a stitched edge to frame each side of my strip (to give the appearance that it's cut away to reveal the bottom floral layer) using our Ribbon & Lace Border Dies. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment "You Are So Lovely" from our Lovey Dovey Stamps using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink, which I also heat embossed with clear embossing powder to give it a bit of shine and make it stand out crisply. I really love how this clean and simple design turned out!

I am frequently asked which ink colors I used for my layered images. Some of these images were previously stamped using now-retired Colorbox inks; however, I spent considerable time trying to find the closest matches to share them here with you (from lightest to darkest).

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.
