Foxy Friends Card with Amanda

Hey crafty friends! It’s Amanda here with you on the Sunny Studio blog today! I’m excited to share this cute little Fall card with you!

I love making a scene card and this one might be one of my favs! I loove loove loooove the Foxy Friends Stamps, so I decided to use them to create a Fall scene!

I started by stamping my background from the Fall Scenes Stamps onto a piece of white cardstock trimmed to 4.25” x 5.5”. On another piece of white cardstock, I stamped the images from the Foxy Friends Stamps. I also stamped the rake and leaves from the Fall Scenes Stamps.

I colored the background scene and all the stamped images with Copic markers. Here are the markers I used:

Grass: BG90, YG91, YG93
Leaves: Y00, Y02, Y23, Y35, Y38, YR16
Tree trunk: 331, E23, E25, E27
Fence: W2, W5
Sky: BG90, BG93
Fox: YR30, YR21, YR24, YR27, E50, E55, R20, R32, W1, W5, W8
Pumpkin: BG72, BG75, BG78, G21, G24, G94, Y02, Y38, E21, E25
Wagon: E04, E08, T2, T5, T8, E39, E97
Rake: E25, E59, N1, N5

After all the coloring was complete, I added some white highlights and dots using a white Gelly Roll pen. Then, I cut out the images using the coordinating die sets and my die cutting machine. I put 3D foam squares behind all of the images and then added them to my background scene. Finally, I glued the background panel to an A2 card base to complete the card!

Thanks so much for coming by the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today! Come back tomorrow for more crafty inspo!

Elegant Leaves Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fall cards featuring the Elegant Leaves Stamps.

For my first card showcasing the Elegant Leaves Stamps I started by creating a rainbow blend on watercolor paper by washing my paper in water and then dropping in bits of color using Daniel Smith Watercolors. When it had dried entirely (which you can speed up with a heat gun), I heat embossed the leaf images using Hero Arts Brass Embossing Powder. I proceeded to fussy cut each image right next to the embossing outline to keep things looking bold and clean against my navy blue background. I then rearranged the leaves loosely on my card panel and took turns adhering them with my Zig Glue Pen. 

Lastly, I used that same Brass embossing powder to heat emboss my "Thankful for all you do" sentiment onto coordinating navy cardstock, fussy cutting again around the word "thankful" leaving a small shadow to make it easier to cut out. This navy shadow blends with my background and also helps the word stand out in the places where it overlaps with the leaves beneath to keep it from being illegible. I love how these leaves pop against the navy and how the metallic embossing catches the light! 

For my second card, I created a radically different look with the Elegant Leaves Stamps. I chose a more modern & graphic design with the leaf images, incorporating a pink, grey, black, and white color scheme. I started by embossing a piece of pink cardstock using our Cable Knit Embossing Folder for my card's background. I then stamped the bold leaves and leaf outlines using various Versafine inks (linked below). I arranged my leaves into a garland arrangement, positioned in the bottom center of my card. I then heat embossed the word "Grateful" using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder onto the same pink cardstock. Once again, I fussy cut a slight shadow around the word and paired it with other parts of the greeting, which I heat embossed with White Detail Embossing Powder onto black cardstock.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Harvest Mice & Truckloads of Love Card with Hanh

Hello Crafty Friends! This is Hanh on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a clean and simple autumn themed card featuring the adorable Harvest Mice and Truckloads of Love sets. Pumpkin season is just around the corner and these super mice are all excited for it.

I started by creating the background. I took a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock and masked off the bottom portion of the panel. I ink blended the top of the panel with Squeezed Lemonade and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide inks. I stamped the "pumpkin kisses & harvest wishes" sentiment from the Harvest Mice Stamp set directly onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Once the panel was dry, I trimmed a slim border off all sides of the panel.

I stamped the images from the Harvest Mice Stamp, a mouse image from the Beach Bus Stamp and the truck from Truckloads of Love Stamp sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Harvest Mice Dies, Beach Bus Dies and Truckloads of Love Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

COPIC COLORS:
Mice: E50/51/53/33, R00/20, E33
Pumpkins: Y17/38 YR04, YG03
Truck: BG10/11/53/45/49, C0/1, R24

I colored images onto the inked panel with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. A piece of craft foam was adhered to the back of the panel 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 and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.

Sending pumpkin kisses and harvest wishes to all of you! Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Autumn Garland & Elegant Leaves Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fall cards featuring the Autumn Garland Stamps and Elegant Leaves Stamps.

My first card showcases all the images from the Autumn Garland Stamps which I heat embossed using Hero Arts Copper Embossing Powder and colored with Copic markers. I arranged all the extra pinecones and fir tree sprigs around my main garland image to form a cresent shape across the bottom of my card, adding the "Autumn Blessings" greeting from the same set.

Both of my cards today were an opportunity for me to play with some of the Distress Embossing Glaze powders I had purchased awhile back. This was my first time experimenting with them. So many of the colors in my stash are earthtones so I thought they would be perfect for playing with today's stamp sets. 

For this card, I started by inking a white cardstock panel with Scattered Straw Distress Ink and then used the Diagonal & Straight Stripes Stencils to apply the striped background by pressing my Versamark pad directly into the surface of my tacked down stencil and paper. It was difficult for me to capture here, but the stripes have a very pretty transparent and glossy appearance when they catch the light.

For my second card, I started by blending an inky background using various Distress Inks before stamping the polka-dot background over the top using the Background Basics 2 Stamps with a taupe colored ink from my stash. I then pulled out the Elegant Leaves Stamps to stamp a border of leaves around the edge of my card using clear VersaMark Ink. I took turns stamping them one at a time so that I could sprinkle on different colors of Distress Embossing glaze and heat set them as I went around the four sides.

I borrowed the brilliant idea to layer the polka-dot background with the stamp leaf images from Jennifer McGuire. By layering the two, it really shows off the translucent quality of these amazing glazes! I completed my card by trimming down the panel and centering it on a white notecard and heat embossing the word "thankful" and "for your kindness" on black cardstock using white embossing powder. I tried so many different combinations and in the end, I love the way the white over black popped against all the other rich colors in my background.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛

Too Cute To Spook Halloween Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some fall scene cards featuring our Too Cute To Spook Stamps with dramatic inky backgrounds.

My first card pairs the kitty in the pumpkin from the Scaredy Cat Stamps with the haunted house, tree, bat, and "Happy Halloween!" greeting from the Too Cute To Spook Stamps. I inked my entire background using Picked Raspberry distress ink to create my dramatic background with the pink moon and purple sky. I then cut a circle mask using the Stitched Circle Large Dies to cover where I wanted my moon to go before inking around the mask with Wilted Violet distress ink. When I had the background adequately inked. I cut random holes in my mask with scissors to ink the craters in my moon, before inking again with a smaller brush using a darker layer of the Picked Raspberry. I then spritzed the entire piece with water.. When it was dry, I added white stars with my gel pen and stamped the spooky tree from the set four times around the haunted manor with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. Lastly, I cut the stitched hillside from black cardstock using the Slimline Nature Border Dies, heat embossed my greeting in white, and added the cat to the foreground.

For my second card showcasing the Too Cute To Spook Stamps, I paired three of the critters in costumes from the set, with the moon from the Scaredy Cat Stamps, the haunted house border and bats from the Fall Scenes Stamps, and the "Happy Halloween" sentiment from the Happy Howl-o-ween Stamps. For my moody cloud background, I started by inking up white cardstock with Salty Ocean Distress Ink and added in some clouds using masks I had cut out using the Fluffy Cloudy Border Dies with Prize Ribbon and then Chipped Sapphire ink along the outside edges. Finally, I layered in clouds cut using the Tulip Path Background Dies, which I colored with those same inks. 

I should note that I originally stamped and cut out the haunted house border using the coordinating dies, but later decided to fussy cut them out, cutting off the trees and fence to make things easy on myself since the other images in the border were pretty straight and easy. However, I then stamped the images again directly onto my background with the nice dark and bold VersaFine Onyx Black Ink so that the trees and fence would be there to just layer my fussy cut image over the top of and have them all seamlessly line up. I could have tried to color around the die-cut images with Copics to match them to my background, like I have done for other cards, but this felt easier, and I think it added extra drama to my scene by not having any white edges.

That wraps up my projects for today. Thanks so much for hanging out with me. I hope I've inspired you to spread a little happiness by sending out a card to someone you love. 💛
