Guest Designer Spotlight: Happy Howl-o-ween Card & Tags with Tammy Stark

Hello friends, Tammy Stark here! I'm so excited to be guest designing for Sunny Studio for the newest release! I especially love creating for Halloween, so I was really excited to play with the adorable new set, Happy Howl-o-ween! For my project, I created a fun slimline card so I could get as many of the darling pups as possible!

To begin, I stamped the images from the Happy Howl-o-ween stamp set, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Happy Howl-o-ween Dies. Next, I cut a panel of Bristol smooth cardstock to 3 X 8" and masked off the bottom of the panel with washi tape. I used a circle die from the Stitched Circle Large Die to create a mask. I placed the circle mask onto the panel and inked the background with Milled Lavender, Villainous Potion, and Black Soot Distress inks. I splattered the background with some Villainous Potion ink, then added some white paint splatters. I removed the circle mask and lightly washed it with gray ink to give the mood a little spooky glow. The bottom of the card was inked with brown inks to create a ground for the pups.

Next, I arranged the adorable images onto my card to create a fun scene, and attached them with foam tape for dimension. The sentiment was white embossed onto a black sentiment strip and also attached with foam tape. Lastly, I attached the panel to a white cardstock mat, measuring 3 1/4 X 8 1/4", then onto a black 3 1/2 X 8 1/2" card base to finish up my card.

I also created a fun set of coordinating Halloween tags, using Happy Howl-o-ween. I started by stamping some images from the Happy Howl-o-ween stamp set, coloring with Copic markers, and die cutting with the Happy Howl-o-ween Dies.

To make the tags, I cut 3 white tags using the Scalloped Tag Circle Dies. Next, I cut 3 circles from Bristol smooth cardstock using the Stitched Circle Large Die. Just as the card, I masked off the bottom of the tag and ink blended the top with Milled Lavender, Villainous Potion, and Black Soot Distress inks, also splattering up the background. The bottom was ink blended with brown inks, then attached to the scalloped tags. The colored images were attached to the tags, using foam tape on some for dimension. I white embossed the sentiments onto black cardstock strips, cutting them apart and attaching to the tags with foam tape, then added some black and white bakers twine to finish up my set of tags.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs!

Striped Stencils Focused Card with Nicky

Happy Friday everyone this is Nicky with you today on Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I have a frosty Christmas card to share with you, incorporating our Striped Stencils, so please read on for all the details.

To create this card I took an A2 white panel of cardstock and I used the diagonal striped stencil from the Striped Stencils set and used glitter embossing paste to create the dazzling stripes. I set this to one side to dry.

I then used the Stitched Oval 2 Die to create two ovals. One was cut from vellum and the other from white cardstock. I stamped a little background image to the cardstock oval using the Scenic Route stamp set. I added a hint of pink ink blending to it and used Copic markers to add a little colour to the fir trees. I then glued this panel to the larger vellum panel and then secured this to the glittered background. This whole panel was then adhered to a slightly larger red panel and then to a slightly larger white card base.

I stamped the Snowmen in Sweaters and coloured with the following Copic markers:

Snowmen (white parts) - C3, C1, C0
Blushes - R22, R21, R20, R00
Blue - B99, B97, B45
Red - R59, R39, R27, R24
Brown - E47, E44, E43

I die cut the images using the coordinating Snowmen in Sweaters Die and then used foam tape to apply them to the little background scene.

To complete the card, I stamped the sentiments from Happy Thoughts and applied them with more foam tape and I used some of Sunny's little snowflake dies to embellish the card. Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and then this chilly scene was complete!

I appreciate you reading the blog today, I'll be back next Friday with something new to share!  Happy crafting!

Merry Mocha Card with Marine

Hey crafty friends, Marine here with you today! I'm thrilled to be back on the blog with this lovely autumn card featuring some warm and delicious treats from different sets (listed down below), as well as four cheeky kitties from Birthday Cat. Once again, I stenciled my background, stamped and colored my images on kraft cardstock to emphasize the whole autumn vibe of the scene I had in mind. I really love how it turned out, and hope you like it, too!

I started off by stamping my images on kraft cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers. For the Merry Mocha cup, I masked the snowflake, stamped the cup, and then stamped the acorn on the cup to turn my Merry Mocha winter cup into an autumn cup.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Merry Mocha - cup (with the acorn) • Mug Hugs - other cups, candy cane, heart • Beautiful Autumn - acorns, leaves • Bountiful Autumn & Fall Friends - pumpkins • Cruisin' Cuisine - donut • Birthday Cat - cats • Happy Harvest - sunflowers.

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel, and added a plaid texture using the Buffalo Plaid Straight die. And I used the Straight Stripes stencil along with vintage photo and ground espresso oxide inks to color my panel. I white heat embossed "Wishing you a beautiful autumn season" from Beautiful Autumn at the top of my panel, and then attached all my images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares.

As always, I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Snowmen in Sweaters Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and today we are making a festive card featuring the fun Snowmen in Sweaters and their matching dies. In this set you get six cuties, and they all wear the most adorable cozy outfits!

I love to make shaped cards and for these snowmen a globe shape is perfect. This can be achieved easily by using the largest of the Stitched Arched dies and folding a thick piece of white card base in two. Place the die slightly higher than the fold of the paper so you will not cut the top part. When you run this sandwich through your die cutting machine you will end up with the perfect arched base.

Next, I cut two more white panels with the same die. One of them got inked with a cloud stencil and Distress Oxide Kitsch Flamingo, the other one was used to create a snow bank. I adhered them both to my shaped card base with liquid glue and foam tape for the snowy piece.

After stamping my cute snowmen (Snowmen in Sweaters) and cutting them with the matching dies, I colored them using pink, red and green Copic colors. Additionally, I added 4 of the pine trees that also come in the set. I used a white gel pen to add details and snowflakes to the images. Next, I glued the trees in place, tucking them in behind the snowbank.

Then it was time to add the darling snowmen to the scene. I left enough room at the top of my card to add the beautiful ‘Warm Winter Wishes’ sentiment from the Snowmen in Sweaters. I love that it also comes with a matching die. I stamped the words in a red ink from my stash which would go well with the overall color palette of the card. The sentiment was popped up with foam tape for extra dimension. I added some transparent Stickles glitter glue to the trees, pompoms, and snow, creating a frosty look. 

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting with these fun products!

Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die Focused Card with Amanda

Hey there, crafty friends! It's Amanda back with another Halloween card to share with you! Are you ready for Halloween?! It's hard to believe it's so close! Keep scrolling and make this card with me!

For the background, I trimmed 2 pieces of white cardstock to 4"x5.25. I ran both of them through my die cutting machine with the Buffalo Plaid Diagonal Die. I ink blended the bottom portion of one with Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink, concentrating the most ink on the outside and bottom portions.  

With the other piece, I trimmed off the bottom of it, and then used the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils to ink blend Catherine Pooler's Sixteen Candles, Pixie Dust, Serenade, and Drive-In inks to create this fun purple background. Again, I concentrated the darker inks on the edges and top of the panel. This gives a vignette effect that really pulls your focus to the center of the card! I splattered white paint on the "ground" panel and black paint on the purple panel. I glued both panels together with liquid glue. Then, I glued them to an A2 card base.

Next, I grabbed the oh-so-versatile Pumpkin Patch Dies and created 3 little pumpkins for my cute Halloween critters. I colored them with Copic markers and added highlights with a white Gelly Roll pen.

Once I had pumpkins all set, I stamped and colored my costumed critters from the Too Cute To Spook Stamps. I had so much fun coloring these little guys with Copic markers! I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I also stamped my Happy Halloween sentiment and used scissors to cut it out.

I adhered all my little elements to my card using 3D foam squares. I also added some fun little sequins and sparkles for some more excitement.

Thanks for stopping by the Sunny Studio Stamps Blog today! Hope you find some time to get crafty this week!
