Sealiously Sweet Summer Seal Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some sea-themed cards for summer using our Sealiously Sweet Stamps.

Sunny Studio Punny Seal Summer Cards by Mendi Yoshikawa using Sealiously Sweet Clear Craft Stamps & Dies with Distress Paint

For my first card featuring the Sealiously Sweet Stamps, I painted a row of five stacked paint streaks using Ranger's Distress Paint onto bristol paper. I then trimmed my panel down to 4" wide x 5.25" high and mounted it onto an A2-sized piece of black cardstock. For my greeting, I heat-embossed the words "Have a sealiously awesome" onto black cardstock strips and cut apart the words into three separate strips. I then stamped the word "summer" from the Big Panda Stamps and cut a shadow around it using the coordinating dies. Lastly, I added a row of three white seals decked out for summer using the sunglasses and sunhat accessories. I felt I needed a little extra detail on the left side of my card, so I layered a flower on the hat from our Love Birds Stamps.

For my second card, I again turned to the Ranger Distress paints with the same five colors. This time I filled my entire background with the swipes of paint, not leaving any of the white background to show through. I trimmed off some less desirable spots along the edges and added a stitched edge with the Slimline Basic Border Dies, layered over a simple white RicRac edge using our Ric Rac Border Dies

I had stamped a punny greeting from the Sealiously Sweet Stamps directly onto the painted cardstock. Sadly, I learned the hard way that the Versafine ink doesn't dry on the painted surface very well. I smeared it pretty badly, so I did my best to salvage the card by restamping the same sentiment onto the pennant strip from our Notebook Photo Corners Dies to layer over the top to hide all the smudges. The two sentiment strips from this set are such versatile sizes and are always coming to my rescue. I then lined up three sets of images down the center of my card featuring the seals with the rainbow floaties and beach ball to match my painted stripes.

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. 😊

Strawberry Patch Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, live from my Strawberry Patch! I picked some bright and juicy strawberries, put them all in my Build A Bowl colander, and now I'm heading to the kitchen to cook them into jam and pies.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Strawberry Patch Friendship Card by Marine Simon (featuring Build-A-Bowl Dies, Rounded Rectangle Mat Dies, Picket Fence Border Dies, Punny Fruit Greetings)

I started by creating the background using pattern papers along with the largest Rounded Rectangle Mat die. For the sky, I picked a paper from the Summer Splash pack. I added a little bit of salty ocean distress ink to the edges, mixed that same distress ink with water, added blue splatters to my cloudy panel using a slim brush, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. For the grass, I picked a paper from the Dots & Stripes Pastels pack and cut a border using a die from the Picket Fence Border die set. I applied mowed lawn distress ink to the edges of the grass border, mixed that same ink with water, added green splatters to the grass border, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

To add more interest to my little scene, I cut a Picket FenceBorder out of white woodgrain cardstock, added pumice stone distress ink at the top of each pointy plank and texture using the same ink, and then white splatters.

While my pieces of paper were drying, I cut the elements out of textured grey cardstock to create a colander using the Build A Bowl die set. I added hickory smoke distress ink to the edges of each piece, as well as white splatters, and then glued them all to assemble my colander. I also created a bunch of strawberries using the Strawberry Patch die set. I used matching distress inks to add more depth to each element, added white splatters and then set everything aside to dry.

I stamped my "I couldn't ask for a sweeter friend" sentiment from the Punny Fruit Greetings stamp set at the very top of my cloudy panel, and next I assembled the background. First I attached the cloud panel to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches white panel using 1mm foam tape. I stuck the grass border using 1mm foam tape as well, and then attached the fence using liquid glue, tucking the bottom parts right behind the grass sprigs.

I filled the inside of the colander with strawberries and leaves using liquid glue, added more on top using foam squares, and then attached the colander to my panel using foam squares again. I added a couple more strawberries and leaves on both sides of the colander, and finally attached my panel to a white card base. 

And that's it! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week.

Sealiously Sweet Card by Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and we are ready for a fun beach day! How adorable are the cuties from the Sealiously Sweet stamp and die set! So let’s create a breezy summer card together by making a white card base which we’ll embellish with a striped stencil from my stash and some Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sealiously Sweet Summer Themed Card by Tina Henkens (featuring Catch A Wave Dies, Fancy Frame Dies, Stitched Circle Dies)

For the centerpiece, I cut two circles from white card stock with the outer of the Stitched Circles Large set. One of them will be my base to which I will glue the scene parts. To obtain these parts, I cut the second white circle in three using two of the Catch a Wave dies.

The bottom portion was turned into a sandy beach (Fossilized Amber and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide), for the waves and sky I used Prize Ribbon again (sky stencil from my stash). Some water splatters added lots of details to these pieces.

Next, I glued the three parts together onto the white circle we already made, and they fit like a little puzzle. I selected three adorable seals and a sun hat from the Sealiously Sweet stamp and colored them with my Copic markers. As always, I added some white details with a gel pen.

Then I took my time to figure out where I would place the seals so I had enough space left for my big sentiment (Beach Buddies) which I stamped directly to the sky portion with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Before mounting the seals, I did add a few splashes of ‘foam’ using a white pigment ink from my stash and a small blending brush. To really emphasize the scene I also adhered a double layer of a white circle border (Fancy Frames Circle dies). As a final embellishment, I sprinkled a few blue diamonds from the Bright Jewel mix.

I hope you got inspired by this fun summer card! Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Hey friends! It’s Amanda back here with you on the blog today! I just got back from the beach and I am FEELING this card right now! Nothing better than a girls’ day on the beach!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Ocean View Summer Themed Card by Amanda Fitterer (featuring Beach Babies, Beach Buddies)

I had so much fun coloring this card and I’m excited to share with you all the details about this card! The background stamp is from the Ocean View Stamps. I stamped it using my MISTI and black ink onto a piece of white cardstock trimmed to 4”x5.25”.

I stamped my girlies from the Beach Babies Stamps on a separate piece of white cardstock. The inner tube came from the Beach Buddies StampsI stamped my sentiment directly onto my background, using my MISTI to line it up perfectly!

Once I had all my stamping done, it was time to color! I used Copic markers to color all the images and a white Gelly Roll pen for all the dots and highlights.

Once colored, I cut the images out with their coordinating die sets. Next, I put 3D foam squares behind the images and adhered them to my card panel. Finally, I glued the card panel to an A2 card base.

The beach has been the best part of my summer. I hope you’re having a great summer so far, too, and that you find some time to get crafty!

Kiddie Pool & Ocean View Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some summer cards featuring our Kiddie Pool Stamps, among several other fun sets.

Sunny Studio Swimming Pool Kid Summer Cards using Kiddie Pool, Ocean View & Tiki Time Clear Craft Stamps & Metal Cutting Dies

First, I have a vertical slimline-style card using the Kiddie Pool Stamps. I started by inking my 4" x 8.5" white cardstock background with twisted citron and mowed lawn distress inks. I then used the various grass tufts from the Tulip Path Backdrop Stamps to stamp a repeated grass pattern in my background using VersaFine Clair Verdant Ink. I stamped three blow-up pools from the set and colored them in hot pink, yellow, and orange to stack down the center of my card. I then set to work decorating each pool scene using the kids from the set. I added a duck to the first pool from the Puddle Jumpers Stamps and the beach ball to the last pool from the Beach Babies Stamps.

For my second card, I paired the kids and beach chair from the Kiddie Pool Stamps with the tiki bar, drinks, and tiki torch from the Tiki Time Stamps, and the palm tree beach border including the other beach chair and umbrella from the Ocean View Stamps. I added the banner from the Balloon Rides Stamps to decorate the Tiki Bar and stamped the clouds from the Ocean View set, keeping them as simple aqua outlines to match the sky. I completed my card with a "summer greetings" sentiment from the Beach Bus Stamps.
