Inside Greetings Belated Birthday Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and although not often, it does happen that I forget to send a birthday card. Those are the times when the Inside Greetings Belated Birthday stamp set comes to the rescue! In this instance, I stamped a shorter sentiment from the set onto a white banner and put it on the outside of my card.

I wanted to go for a ‘relatable scene’ and since hot air balloons travel slow, it would be the perfect match for the sentiment!

After creating a white card base, I die cut a panel from white card stock with the outer die from Frilly Frames Retro Petals. To create a ‘sky scene’, I transformed this piece into an arched frame (largest of the Stitched Arched dies). Next step was to dry emboss this frame with the Lots of Dots folder. I love that extra layer of detail!

I still had the inner arched piece of white card stock left and this will be become my sky by inking it with a light blue ink from my stash. Next, I cut two layers of white clouds.

After selecting the hot air balloon, the koala and three clouds from the Balloon Rides set, I started the coloring with my trusty Copic markers and a white gel pen for added details.

I assembled the different layers of this card, by gluing the cloud borders to the back of the frame. Next, I placed the arched piece, which fitted in like a puzzle piece! I held all these elements together with some tape on the back before I mounted everything to the card base.

I tucked the balloon and his cute passenger between the puffy borders, added the separate clouds and finally placed the sentiment banner. Adding a few Pastel Jewels finishes this sweet project.

Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Balloon Numbers Card with Amanda

Hey there, crafty friends! Welcome back to the Sunny Studio Stamps Blog. I’m so happy you’re here! It’s Amanda here with you today! I have the perfect little card for a 12 year old and I’m going to tell you how I made it! I hope you’ll get inspired!

First, I trimmed down a piece of white cardstock to 4”x5.25”. I stamped the Majestic Meadow background stamp with black ink. I also stamped a few clouds with black ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the background and clouds. Next, I trimmed another piece of white cardstock to 4”x5.25” and ink blended Catherine Pooler’s Quartz ink on the entire panel.

To create the awesome balloons, I used the Balloon Numbers Stamps and Dies. To create the 3D balloon effect, I first stamped the numbers with Catherien Pooler Wintergreen ink. Then, I lightly and delicately applied Seafoam with a tiny blending brush on the outside of the number stamps. I applied a little more on the right side of each number.

The little bunny is stamped from the Balloon Numbers Stamps. The other accessories and birds are from the Foxy Friends Stamps.

Here are the Copic markers I used to color the stamped images:
Trees:  G40, G43, G46, E30, E31, E35, YG91, YG95, YG97, YG99, YG61, YG63, YG67, G20, G21, G24, E43, E44, E47
Flowers: R81, R83, R85
Grass & Bird: YG0000, YG00, YG91, YG93
Bunny, Bird & Flower Pot: E30, E31, R33, E35, E37, R21, T7
Wagon: E43, E44, R81, R83, R85

Once everything was colored and cut, I was able to start assembling the card!  First, I placed everything where I think I wanted it to go. Then, I stamped the “YOU’RE” and “TODAY” sentiments directly onto the pink background panel. I then, used 3D foam tape to prop up the background image and clouds. I adhered them to my pink panel.

Then, I poked holes through the balloon numbers so I could thread a string through them. I wrapped the other end of the strings around my bunny’s paw. I put 3D foam squares on the back of all my images and placed them on the front of the card. I applied 3D foam tape on my background panel and adhered it to a white A2 card base.

I love how sweet this card came out and I can’t wait to give it to my niece for her 12th birthday! I hope you enjoyed this card as well! I also hope you find some time to get crafty today! Come back tomorrow for more crafty inspiration!

Doggone Birthday Card with Leanne

Hello everyone! Leanne here. Today's card has a birthday theme with a cute image from the Doggone Birthday stamp set. The card also features a more masculine color palette with shades of yellow, brown, and blue which is a departure from my usual pink heavy card designs. It's refreshing to change it up once in awhile!

The Sunny Studio supplies needed to recreate this card are the Doggone Birthday stamp set & it's coordinating dies plus the Perfect Gift Boxes stand alone die set. 

Here are the Copics I used to color the images: brown - E31, E33, E35; teal - BG70, BG02, BG07; yellow - Y21; shading on bone - W1, W3; rosy cheeks - RV23

I started with a kraft card base measuring 6 inches by 3.5 inches. I added a white panel trimmed a bit smaller than the card base. I used a paper punch to angle the corners of this panel.  

When I had my stamped images colored and die cut and the gifts assembled, I played around with the arrangement while keeping in mind where to stamp the greeting. This is usually how most of my cards get created. I have a general idea of the design prior to starting, then after all my design elements are ready, I play around with composition before adhering everything in place permanently. 

It's all part of my creative process!

Rounded Rectangle Window Die Focused Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun shaker birthday card to share with you showcasing the Rounded Rectangle Window Dies, Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies, Background Basics 2 Stamps, Cat Antics and Party Pets sets.

Do you like making shaker cards? I love adding a little fun factor to my cards and shakers are quick ways to add that fun. Today, I'm going to show you how I made my shaker card and shaker bits. So let's get started.

I stamped the cats and balls of yarn from the Cat Antics stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Cat Antics Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Cats: Y21 YR21/24, W3, R20
Pink: RV00/10/21/23/25
Orange: Y38 YR04/07
Yellow: Y06/08
Green: YG01/03/25
Teal: BG10/11/15
Blue: B000/00/02
Purple: V000/01/04

I used Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink to stamp the Background Basics 2 Stamps onto a piece of white cardstock. Once the panel was dried, I used the largest die from the Rounded Rectangle Mat Die to trim the panel. I used the same die to also diecut a piece of clear acetate.

Next, I used low tack tape to secure the same largest Rounded Rectangle Mat Die to the third largest Rounded Rectangle Window Die. I used this die combo to diecut a frame out of white cardstock. The white frame was then adhered to the clear acetate layer to create the shaker window. I added a layer of foam tape onto the backside to create the shaker well. I added the balls of yarn that I colored up as well as some sparkling clear sequins for my shaker bits before closing off the shaker well with the inked panel. 

For the sentiment, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Party Pets stamp set with Versamark Watermark ink onto a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder. I used the coordinating Party Pets Dies to diecut it out. I adhered the sentiment and colored images to the front of the shaker.

Finally, the shaker was adhered to a piece of patterned paper from the Classic Gingham Paper Pad before it was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").

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.
