Seasonal Trees Cards with Franci and Mona

Hi everyone! Franci here with you today with a spring themed card featuring the new, lovely Seasonal Trees set.

First of all I die cut my panel out of some white cardstock using the die included in the new Frilly Frame Chevron die set. Then I masked the top and inked my grass with Distress ink, I added some splatters of green watercolor and as it was completely dry, I masked it and created my sky using a custom made cloudy stencil and Distress inks again.

I stamped all my images, I colored them with Copics and die cut them with the coordinated dies. I love love, love all the trees include in the set cause they are perfect for every season and this tree, decorated with lots of little birds may be one of my favorites!

I glued all the elements down with liquid glue and foam adhesive and I added some details with a white gel pen. Finally I stamped my sentiment form the A Bird's Life set and added some little clouds that I die cut from white cardstock using the dies included in the Comic Strip Everyday set.

I also added some sparkling clear sequins and a little heart die cut with the mini die included in the Basic Mini Shaped Dies II set and out of some patterned paper form the Preppy Prints set, to finish up my simple card design.

Hope you like it and thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hi crafty friends! It's Mona here, today I am showing you two mini cards with the new Seasonal Trees stamp set.

I started the card making with stamping and coloring. I stamped the images with the Seasonal Trees stamp set and added a cute bunny from the Spring Greetings stamp set. After the coloring I run them through the die-cut machine with the coordinating dies.

Next I adhered a pink cardstock to the background from the Flirty Flowers paper pack, then added a frame die-cut made with Fancy Frames Rectangle dies. 

Next I added colored images to the card and placed them in different ways. In the end I heat embossed the sentiment to a blue cardstock and my card was ready.

Thank you very much for reading through my post, I hope that you have enjoyed it and I have inspired you! If you like my creations let's be friends on Instagram. :)

Summer Cards with Angelica and Mendi

Hi friends, Angelica here sharing a birthday shaker card using the Best Fishes stamp set. Here’s how I put it together.

The first step is making the card front. On a sheet of Yupo paper, I moved Tim Holtz Turquoise and Sailboat Blue alcohol inks around to resemble water. I worked from one corner to the other, the path I knew my windows were going to be. 

While the panel was drying, I made the inside panel that would be seen through the window. I smooshed watercolor paper into Distress Oxide inks that I had swiped onto my craft mat and sprayed with water. I did this three times, using my heat tool to dry the paper after each layer. Once my Yupo paper was dry, I die-cut the windows using the Staggered Circles Die.

I stamped several images from the Best Fishes stamp set, and pulled out a rainbow of Copic colors to color them with. I used the coordinating dies to die-cut them out, then planned out my card front. After moving the images around, I finally found the arrangement I wanted to use. I always do this, then take a picture of it so I know how to assemble the images when it’s time to complete the card.

To assemble the shaker element, I turned the Yupo paper over and used 1/8 Scor tape and a sheet of acetate to close the windows. Next I took thin strips of foam adhesive and wrapped them around each window, then on the rest of paper for support. I added clear and pink confetti into the windows, then carefully closed the back up with the watercolor background. I attached the card front to a card base, then added the images with thin foam squares. I stamped and white heat-embossed the sentiments using words from the stamp set. My last step was trimming the sentiments into thin strips, and attaching them to the card.

That's all that I have for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello there!  Mendi here today filling in for Juliana with a card featuring our newest Frilly Frames Dies.  I ran out of time during the sneak peek week to show how awesome the new Frilly Frames Chevron dies work together with both our Fishtail Banner die sets.  For my card here I paired them with the scallop from our Fishtail Banner 2 and the straight edge banner on our original Fishtail Banner dies to create "strips" which I cut from a rainbow of cardstock colors.

I just adore how all our Frilly Frames can mix and match with each other.  The chevron dies come with a ric rac edge, but I wanted to continue the scalloped theme so I paired the inside portion of the die with the outside portion of our Frilly Frames Stripes Die.  I then backed them with a piece of navy cardstock.

I wanted to keep the rest of my card fairly simple to keep the attention on my rainbow chevron stripes so I colored a small grouping from our Fabulous Flamingo Stamps and dies, using Copic Markers and heat embossed a sentiment on some more of that same navy cardstock to ground my images.

I hope we've inspired you in your cardmaking. Thanks so much for stopping by and hanging with us today.  :)

Coastal Cuties Cards with Eloise and Leanne

Hello friends, Eloise here and today we are using the Coastal Cuties Stamp Set. I paired it with a few other sets to create a beach scene and used the new Summer Splash Patterned Paper Pack for an easy background.

I started off with stamping out my images onto some white cardstock. I used Coastal Cuties, Sending Sunshine, Seasonal Trees and Island Getaway. I coloured them in with Copic Markers and then cut them out with the coordinating dies.

(Copic Markers Used: RV10, RV13, RV25, RV19 / E000, E00, E21, E02 / R30 / 0 / E41, E42, E43, E44 / BG10, BG11, BG13, BG49 / YR00, YR02, YR12, YR18 / YG01, YG23, YG07, YG17 / Y11, Y13 / Y23, Y32, YR21, YR23)

I then cut down a piece of the patterned paper from Summer Splash to the size of my card base. I adhered my images on top using foam tape. For my sentiment, I curved the ‘Hi There!’ on my block and stamped it in black around the island.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I’ll see you next time.

Hi friends, Leanne here! I have a very summery card to share today that features one of the adorable beach goers from Coastal Cuties. I wanted to create a little beach vignette using her. Since this little scene is more on the simple side, I decided to go with a bold color blocked background. I just love the new Summer Splash pattern papers. There’s some great tone on tone patterns that are perfect for color blocking.

I picked out five patterns and cut 1 inch strips. I adhered the pattern strips in rainbow order to an A2 card front leaving a tiny gap in between each strip. To create the beach vignette, I die cut a circle that’s 3.25” in diameter. I picked out some blue ink that coordinated with the blue pattern paper and blended it onto the circle to color the sky area. I used kraft card stock for the sand.  

I Copic colored all the images. In addition to the beach girl from Coastal Cuties, I use the sand castle and sand shovel image from Beach Babies. The hermit crab is from the new Best Fishes stamp set. I adhered the images with dimensional foam squares. I stamped the sentiment from Coastal Cuties and adhered the completed circle to the card again using foam squares. As one final finishing touch, I tied some baker’s twine around the left side of the card.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Karin Åkesdotter

Hi Everyone! I'm Karin Åkesdotter from Peppermint Patty’s Papercraft, and I am so excited to be collaborating with Sunny Studio this month. I'm here today to share some cards I've made with Sunny’s wonderful Summer Release.

This first project is a super fun one. I just LOVE Mendi's clever box design Wrap Around Box die set that closes up like two hearts at the top, no strings or adhesive needed to close this box. And with the perfect panel die and cute little tags the possibilities for cute designs with this are endless. 

Here I used the fun cloud paper that come with the Summer Splash patterned paper pack and the adorable sloth is of course from the Silly Sloth set. My box is for a mini gift for my sister for her long flight to the Maldives later this year - it will hold a sleeping mask and earplugs so she'll sleep like a sloth there ;)

My next project is a CAS card, with a fast and easy design that looks like it was more work with lots of elements and texture. My favorite type of designs. Here I used the wonderful Frilly Frames Stripes dies for the panel and the stitched rectangle is from the Wrap Around Box dies and then simply stamped and die cut some of the images from the Silly Sloth set.

My last card for today showcases the super adorable Fabulous Flamingos set which holds lots of fun and sweet extra images to use for your summer/vacation cards. So much fun to color and play around with for different card designs. Here I die cut a window through which you can view the ocean - another wonderful paper from the Summer Splash patterned paper pack.
