Background Basics 2 Card with Nicky

Hello! This is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studios blog and I have a sweet little Valentine's card to share with you, featuring Background Basics 2, so please read on for all the details and relevant links.

I took an A2 panel of white cardstock and used the Background Basics 2 stamp to stamp the design with a minty coloured ink. I die cut the panel using the Stitched Rectangle Die then glued it to a slightly larger panel of minty coloured cardstock  and then cut an opening through both layers using the Rounded Rectangle Mat Die. I backed the patterned frame with dimensional foam tape and applied it to a white panel of cardstock where I had ink blended the sky and used Copic markers in various shades of green to light blue to make some tufted grass to ground my characters. I applied this to an A2 white card base and set it to one side.

I stamped the Foxy Friends images and coloured them with the following Copic markers:
Foxes - E99, E13, E11, C3, C1, C0
Blush Pink (Cheeks and Umbrella) - R22, R21, R20, R00
White - C3, C1, C0

Images were die cut with the coordinating dies and applied to the background with foam tape and I included 3 little die cut hearts from the coordinating die.

To complete my card I made a polka dot design on the umbrella and highlighted other points and I also die cut the Brilliant Banner 4 Die from white cardstock, I shaded the different parts with some ink blending and glued them together and then I stamped the sentiment in black ink.

Card complete! Have some fun crafting your own Valentine cards and I'll see you back here next Friday with something new.

Party Pets Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this extra colorful birthday card showcasing the adorable kitties from Party Pets. I wanted to feature all the cats from the set so I went for a slimline card, but there are also three super cute dogs in that set and I really look forward to having them on a future project!

I started off by stamping my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers in colors that match with the striped background. Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Party Pets - cats, balloons, presents, party hats, party blower, small sentiment • Bighearted Bears - banners.

Next I created the background, and I wanted it to be very colorful and festive, so I picked this fun orange + yellow + green + light blue + blue color palette, and cut multiple strips out of colored cardstock using a Ribbon & Lace Border die. Next I cut an 8-1/8 x 3-1/4 inches white panel, covered it with double sided tape, and attached the colored strips. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to my panel, and then did the same with black ink. And once my panel was dry, I attached it to an 8,5 x 3,5 inches white card base at an angle to add some extra fun to my card.

To ground each little kitty, I cut five polka dot circles of different sizes out of Dots & Stripes Jewel Tones + Polka Dot Parade pattern papers using the Staggered Circles die, stuck them all on my striped background using 1mm foam squares, and then attached the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I white heat embossed "Happy Birthday" from Party Pets on black cardstock, cut it using the matching die and attached it to the panel using 2mm foam squares. I also white heat embossed "The party stars meow" from Birthday Cat at the bottom of my panel, and finished my card with highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen.

And that's it! I really love how cute and fun this card turned out, and I bet it would look great with a different color palette, maybe a purple + aqua + pink combo for a magical themed card, or a red + pink + white combo for Valentine! So many possibilities here! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Window Trio Heart Die Focused Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here with an adorable Valentine themed card! I am using the versatile Window Trio Hearts Portrait die and I love how easy it creates a fun design!

As usual, I started with a white card base and went on to stamp a pink grid pattern on a white panel (Background Basics 2). From this panel I created three heart shapes using the Window Trio Hearts Portrait die. To match these hearts I selected a pretty pink heart paper (Flirty Flowers), cut it to an A2 size and off set the Window Trio Hearts Portrait die to the left side. I kept the three pattern paper hearts for another project and mounted the panel to the card base.

Next, I simply inlayed the pink grid hearts with some liquid glue. For extra interest, I also added a white scalloped border (Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies).

After selecting three adorable cuties from Bighearted Bears, I colored them with grey, pink and teal copics. The perfect combination for a love themed card! Each bear was placed inside a heart shape with foam tape.

My combined sentiment was taken from the same set and stamped onto small white strips with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I stacked the strips on top of each other in the bottom right corner.

Then I pulled one of my favorite dies, Bursting Hearts, and created a bunch of white hearts in one pass of my die cut machine! I love alle the different sizes you get as well! I scattered the cute hearts all over the design.

I can’t wait to see your projects with these products! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Cat Antics Card with Amanda

Hey guys! It’s Amanda here on the Sunny Studio Stamps Blog with a bright & cheery Cat Antics card to share with you!

I created the beautiful sky background using just a few inks and some blending brushes! I blended Catherine Pooler’s Pucker Up, Tiki Torch, Catching Rays, and Limoncello inks. I spritzed some water on the background and let it dry.

Next, I stamped my kitties from the Cat Antics Stamps. For the 2 spotted cats, I added some spots using an archival ink pen. I colored them with Copic markers and added white highlights using a white Gelly Roll pen.

Box: B00, B12, B14, B16, B18, B37
Box Cat: N0, N2, N5, N7, N9, RV32, RV34
Left Cat: W2, W4, W6, W8, YR21, YR24, YR27, RV32, RV34
Right Cat: T0, T1, T2, T4, RV32, RV34

Once they were colored, I cut them out with the coordinating dies. For the sentiment, I just trimmed it into a strip and then used scissors to cut the banner ends.

I have been OBSESSED with the new Balloon Alphabet Stamps from the latest release! I love how fun they are to play with! For this card, I inked them up with Catherine Pooler inks: Chiffon, Limoncello, Catching Rays, Sparkling Berry, Flirty Fuchsia, and Suede Shoes. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and added a few more dots with my white Gelly Roll pen.

I used a needle and white thread to connect my balloons to my kitties. I placed the cats and balloons on a foam pad and poked 2 holes on each balloon and each cat. Then, I threaded the needle and created a stitch on each cat and balloon. This gives the illusion that the kitty has the string wrapped around its paw! So cute!

For my clouds, I grabbed my Tulip Path Background Stamps and stamped my clouds with black ink and cut them out with the coordinating dies. 

I adhered all my stamped images to my card front using 3D foam squares. Then, I glued my card front to a white A2 card base. I added a few Iridescent Clear Jewels to finish the card off!

I love how playful the little kitties are on this card! It’s pawsitively amazing! ;) See you next week back here on the blog! Have a great rest of your week!
