Hi everyone. Eloise here and today I'm using the Sun Ray dies to create a fun rainbow background. Along with the Sun Ray dies, I'm also using the Friends & Family stamp set and Friends & Family Word dies for my sentiment also.
To begin my card today I die cut a ton of the Sun Rays out of some watercolour cardstock. I then pulled lots of Distress Ink colours and ink blended them all with different colours and arranged them in rainbow order. Once they were all coloured, I went ahead and added adhesive to a scrap piece of paper and adhered them all done in the order I wanted. I then trimmed down the edges and any excess paper sticking out on the sides. I then added some fun foam on the back and adhered it to the card base.
For the sentiment I die cut out the 'Friends' word die from the Friends & Family Word dies from some black cardstock and black fun foam and adhered them together, then onto my card. For the sentiment, it came from the Friends & Family stamp set and I stamped down the 'are better than therapy' in black ink underneath. For a finishing touch I added some Wink of Stella in the clear to the 'Friends' word.
That finishes up my card for today. These Sun Ray dies have so many uses, I just wanted to try and use them a little differently today.
Stop back by the blog the rest of the week for more inspiration!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Melissa Bickford
I'm so excited to welcome Melissa Bickford to the blog today as our special guest. She has some gorgeous cards that you are going to just love!
Happy Saturday, stamping friends! Melissa here with you today and
I’m super excited to be guesting for Sunny Studio Stamps and sharing
a little something using there oh so
colorful stamp sets! When I first saw Color
Me Happy and Friends
& Family, it was love at first sight. I love flowers and love color and
I knew I was going to have a hard time putting them down once I started
creating with them. You can’t help but smile and be happy when you ink them up!
I have two cards to share today. One for each of the sets I
mentioned above. Let’s start with Friends & Family first.
To begin, I trimmed a piece of white card-stock to measure
3.75 x 5” for my images to sit on. Next came the flowers ... those were all
stamped towards the left side of my card-stock in various colors of ink. I
stamped ‘forever’ as part of my sentiment and die cut ‘friends’, using the
coordinating Friends & Family Flower dies and Friends & Family Word dies and adhered that above it. To add just a little dimension to my card, I
die cut a few of the flowers and leaves, stamped them, and then attached them
among the rest of my flowers.
Before attaching my floral panel to my card base, I added two
strips of pink card-stock along the bottom. I added dimensional foam behind my
floral panel and then attached it all to my card base. And lastly, I added lots
of sparkle and shine by adding sequins.
Card #2 features the super fun Color
Me Happy stamp set. I went with bright colors for this card and used the Sun
Ray dies to create my design. After die cutting all of my circles, I
stamped them each with one of the heart images in the stamp set. After attaching
them all to my card base, I moved onto my sentiment. That was created using the
Color
Word die and one of the many sentiments from the set.
And to finish it off, I added more sparkly sequins around
my sentiment!
Thank you so much for visiting with us today. I’m so happy
that I got to share my love for these sets. I hope you enjoyed and hope you
have a wonderful Saturday!

Color Me Happy Rainy Day Rainbow Card with Lexa
Hi
everyone! Lexa here today with a colorful card to brighten your day. I'm
showcasing the new Color Me Happy
Stamps, It's such a great set with various sentiments that you can
use all year around. I love how cheerful and positive all the sentiments are.
I
mixed up two stamp set for this card, Rain or Shine and Color Me Happy. I'm so glad to find out that the older stamp sets
could coordinate well with the new ones. My card tells a story about how there's a
rainbow after rains, so don't you worry about a thing. I started with a
4.25" x 5.5" white card base and blended them with Pumice Stone, Shaded
Lilac, Tumbled Glass Distress Inks. I also sprayed some water to create faded
colors on some spot.
I stamped all my images with Versafine black ink on a piece
of watercolor paper and colored them all with Distress Markers. To create a
bokeh effect, I die cut circles using Sun Ray Dies on
vellum. I stamped some raindrops with blue dye inks to complete my story that
the rain just stopped and a beautiful rainbow appear.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you
all have a wonderful day!

That Sucks Polka Dot Vacuum Card with Vanessa
Hi everybody! Vanessa here
with a card using the hilarious set, That Sucks. Honestly, I never thought I would need a stamp
set with a vacuum cleaner - until I saw this set! It's so fun and I love this
cute cleaner! Who would have thought an household item could be so much fun?
For my card, I adhered a piece
of patterned paper to the left side of the card base. Now I trimmed a strip of
pink cardstock and added it to the edge of the patterned paper. I stamped the
sentiment onto a strip of grey cardstock and adhered it. Then I stamped the
image onto white cardstock and onto patterned paper. I colored the cardstock
cleaner with Copics and fussy-cut both images.
Now I paper-pieced the cleaner
and adhered it to the card with foam tape. Finally, I die cut the tiny hearts, using the coordinating That Sucks dies, from the same patterned paper and adhered
them. I wish my vacuum cleaner
would look like this :) I would definitely have more fun using it!
Thank you for stopping
by today! I hope to see you next week!

Friends & Family Floral Wreath Card With Lindsey
Hi, Lindsey here today sharing a card using the new Friends & Family stamps. This set has tons of sentiment options as well as some simple yet
versatile solid stamp flowers. This set was a lot of fun to play with. Let's
get started on how I created this bright and springy card.
To begin, I cut a plaid patterned piece of paper to an A2 sized
card base. Next I cut a smaller stitched rectangle from some Kraft card stock.
This is the layer I did my stamping on. I began by stamping the sentiment in
black in the center of the rectangle. Then, I traced the outline of a circle
around the sentiment using a very light pencil line. This would give me a guide
to do my flower stamping on so the wreath would end up a perfect circle.
I used
a bunch of different colors of dye ink to stamp the flowers. I love how
colorful the wreath is with all the sweet little flowers. To add a little
something extra to the flowers, I used a white gel pen to add some details and
highlights. I put a scalloped piece of pink card stock behind the stamped panel
and popped it up on the plaid card base. To finish off the card, I added a few
sparkly sequins. That's it!
This card is so bright and cheery and is perfect for spring. I
hope you'll give this set a try and create your own Family and Friend cards. It
really is a fun set to play with. I look forward to seeing what you create.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Sun Ray Dies and Friends & Family Floral Card with Emily
Hi everyone, Emily here. Today's card features a unique way to use the Sun Ray Dies.
First, I used the largest of the three circles and die cut a circle in the center of the front panel. Then I used the Friends & Family stamp set to stamp a wreath around the circle. I created masks for the flowers and leaves so I could overlap them without muddling the colours together.
After the wreath was fully stamped, I used the individual ray dies to partially die cut the bands around the open circle. I die cut them one at a time so I could use my cutting plate to control where they stopped cutting near the edges of the panel.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Easter Wishes Easter Blessings Card with Eloise
Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I'm sharing a card I made with the Easter Wishes stamp set. This set is super cute, I love all the little critters you get in the stamp set and all the other images too, such a great set to create scenes.
To begin my card I stamped out all my images onto some watercolour paper. I used Versafine Onyx black ink and then clear heat embossed over it. I used my Zig Clean Colour Markers to do my colouring today, they're super fun and easy to use. Once all my colouring was done I dried my images and used all the coordinating Easter Wishes dies to die cut them out.
For my background I used the Sunny Semi Circles dies and die cut a hill into another panel of watercolour cardstock. I then used two green Distress Inks to colour the grass and then with the remaining piece of watercolour paper I used various colours to create a sun-setting sky. I used Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet and Dusty Concord, this creates a gorgeous sunset sky! I then flicked a little water onto both pieces to give a little water splotch effect.
Once by background was done I taped the pieces together and stuck together my scene. I used foam tape on all the images to give the card some nice dimension. I popped up the entire panel on fun foam and adhered it to a white card base and the card was complete.
I hope you enjoyed my card today and got inspired. I really love making different backgrounds with Distress Inks, it's super fun! Make sure you check back the rest of the week for more inspiration.
