Squirrel Friends Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fun birthday card featuring these adorable Squirrel Friends. 

I stamped the images from the Squirrel Friends Stamps and some branches from the Little Birdie Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the coordinating Squirrel Friends Dies and Little Birdie Dies to die-cut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Squirrel: E53/33/35/37, E00/21, W7, R20
Acorn: E00/21/23, E23/27
Trees: E23/25/27, YG01/03/17

For the background, I took a piece of white cardstock (4.25" x 5.5") and die-cut three windows into it using circle the second and fourth largest dies from the Stitched Circle Small Dies and the third smallest die from the Stitched Circle Large Dies. Using this panel as a guide, I ink blended Tumbled Glass and Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide inks onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock in the location of those windows. 

For the sentiment, I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Party Pets Stamps 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 die-cut it out. I absolutely adore the sub-sentiment "You're a little nutty & I love it!" This came from the Squirrel Friends Stamps set and was stamped directly onto the panel with the circle windows with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I adhered the two panels to each other using foam tape. I adhered the sentiment and colored images to the front of the card with foam tape for additional dimension and interest. The card front was adhered to an A2 white card base (4.25" x 5.5"). I finished the card with a few Majestic Clear Confetti.

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.

Farm Fresh & Happy Harvest Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fall cards featuring our Farm Fresh Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Farm Fresh Stamps, I created a barnyard scene using the barn border, goat, duck, chickens, eggs, and hay box from the set. I framed the scene with a Stitched Circle Small Die and layered it over a yellow gingham background using the Buffalo Plaid Straight Die and the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils. I then heat-embossed the punny greeting "Just chicken in" from the set onto the Brilliant Banner 2 Die, cut from red cardstock and inked with Candied Apple and Fired Brick distress inks.

I filmed a short video showing how the buffalo plaid dies and stencils were designed to work together HERE. If you like the glass mat I am using in my video, make sure to check out the special 20% off Labor Day coupon and link I have for you to use at Glassboard Studio through Monday at the end of my post. 💛

For my second card featuring the Farm Fresh Stamps, I used the scarecrow and hay box from the set, with the sunflowers and crows from the Happy Harvest Stamps. I cut a rectangle from one of the Spellbinders Masking Sheets using our Stitched Rectangle Dies and then inked up a rectangle window in the center of my card using Broken China and Mowed Lawn distress inks to frame my scene. I love the clean and simple look that masking provides. I finished my card by stamping the "autumn blessings" greeting from the Happy Harvest set in the top right corner.

Clucky Chickens Farm Card with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share an everyday card featuring our Clucky Chickens Stamps.

For my card, I started by coloring the background border with the rolling hills with the fir trees from our Scenic Route Stamps. I then layered another hillside cut from white cardstock using our Slimline Nature Border Dies which I inked up with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn distress inks, tucking a couple extra trees on the right side to balance my scene. I then added the blue sunburst print from our Spring Sunburst Paper pack and stamped the punny sentiment "I get by with a little help from my hens" from our Farm Fresh Stamps.

As I added each layer to my scene, I "trimmed" it down by die-cutting the layer with our Stitched Rectangle Dies, so when they were all layered together, they would have one cohesive stitched frame. I then populated the foreground of my scene with the hen house, box of hay, chickens, and chicks from our adorable Clucky Chickens Stamps. I love how this farm scene came together with all the different layered elements, many of which I must admit were already stamped years ago and just waiting to be used on a card--That always makes me feel so good to put them to good use!

That wraps up my project 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.😊

Sunflower Fields Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here, I'm happy to be back with this bright and cheerful autumn card featuring a mix and match of images from different layering stamp sets. It's always so much fun and kind of magical to see those images come to life layer after layer.

To start, I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel out of dark kraft cardstock and cut an opening out of it using the largest Stitched Semi Circle die. Next I took my Woodgrain embossing folder, applied brown ink inside the folder on one side, placed my kraft panel on the other side, closed the embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine to create a cool tone on tone brown woodgrain texture. I mixed some ground espresso distress ink with water and used a slim brush to add brown splatters all over my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink. While my Stitched Semi Circle woodgrain panel was drying, I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel out of a brown polka dot paper from the Critter Country paper pack, added white splatters all over it, and once that panel was dry, I stuck my woodgrain panel to it using 1mm foam squares.

Next I stamped all my images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using dye inks from Lawn Fawn and from Altenew, and here is a detailed list of the layering stamp sets I used: • Sunflower Fields - sunflowers • Pretty Pumpkins - pumpkins, leaves, swirling ivy • Watering Can - watering can. And here are the different color combinations I used to create each image:

• sunflowers - butter + sunflower + carrot + fake tan + doe + walnut (LF)
• watering can - lobster + chili pepper (LF)
• aqua pumpkins - kiddie pool + merman + peacock (LF)
• green pumpkin - frayed leaf + forest glades + moss (Altenew)
• yellow pumpkin - butter + lemonade + sunflower (LF)
• orange pumpkin - carrot + fake tan + pumpkin spice (LF)
• leaves - forest glades + moss (Altenew)
• swirling ivy - moss (Altenew)

Once all the stamping was done, I cut the images using the matching dies, splattered white ink all over them, and once they were dry, I attached them all to my card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and liquid glue as well for the swirling ivy. I white heat embossed "Happy autumn" from Crisp Autumn on dark brown cardstock, cut it using the coordinating die, and stuck it to the card using foam squares again. 

And that's it! I hope that you like this bright autumn themed card. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!
