Designer Choice Cards with Candice and Tammy

Hello! Candice with you today with an uplifting and bright mini slimline card to send to any friend!

I used these Sunny Studio products to create my mini slimline design:

• Balloon Rides stamps & coordinating dies
• Stitched Rectangle dies
• Picket Fence dies (grass)
• Slimline Nature Borders dies

I began my mini slimline with a 6 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base. For the background, I die cut the stitched panel from Bristol Smooth cardstock using the partial die cut method (run it partway through, rotate and line up, and run it partway through again!) I inked this panel with a cloud stencil created from the Slimline Nature Borders die set using salvaged patina. I then die cut 2 rows of grass and inked them with mowed lawn, one very lightly, and adhered along the bottom.

Next, I stamped all the images from the awesome Balloon Rides stamp set, colored them with Copic markers, used the coordinating dies to cut them out and added some accents with a white pen. I arranged them on the card front with either glue or foam tape for dimension. I finished with my sentiment heat embossed in white on a black banner that I trimmed in 2 and adhered with foam tape!

Thank you so much for visiting today!

Hello friends, Tammy here! This week it's Designer's Choice! I absolutely love summer and underwater themed cards, so I combined a few of my favorite sets to create this fun split scene slimline card...looks like there's a party both on the beach and under the sea!

To begin, I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and die cut images from the following sets:

Tiki Time/ Coordinating Dies
Oceans of Joy/ Coordinating Dies
Best Fishes/ Coordinating Dies

Next, I cut Bristol smooth cardstock to using the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies and cut it in half. I inked the top of the panel with Picked Raspberry and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide inks. The bottom half of the panel was ink blended with Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Faded Jeans Distress Oxide inks. I then cut a sandy border using the Slimline Nature Borders Dies, inked it with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Oxides, and cut 2 borders to fit the width of the card. 

Next, I attached the inked panel to a white Scalloped Frame Die, then arranged the colored images onto my card, attaching some with foam tape for dimension. Lastly, I white heat embossed the sentiment from Fabulous Flamingos onto a strip of black cardstock to complete my card!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my summer themed card featuring a few of my faves! Have a wonderful weekend!!

Designer Choice Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a fun cacti card combining various products:

I started with the Comic Strip Everyday Die and die-cut the pieces from white cardstock and patterned paper. After I had adhered the background, I stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered everything to the card with foam tape.

Now I die-cut the letters from black cardstock, spelled "sharp" and added details with a white gel pen. Finally, I stamped and heat-embossed the "looking" onto a strip of black cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it.

These adorable images always make me smile! This is the list of the products used today:

Looking Sharp stamps + dies
Chloe Alphabet Dies
Comic Strip Everyday Dies
Polka Dot Parade Paper Pad

Thanks for visiting and have a happy day!

Hi everyone, Anja here today. The sweet retro trailer from the Happy Camper set makes me dream of a little summer vacation somewhere in the middle of nature, maybe at a lake with the mountains in the background. So I came up with this little scene where I added images from the Spring Scenes stamp set and Comic Strip Everyday die-cuts.

First, I cut out a window with the largest of the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies from a white woodgrain cardstock panel. I did some Distress Oxide ink blending on smooth Bristol cardstock to create the sky background (Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo) and the grass (Bundled Sage, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness) as well. I used the grass border die to trim the top of the green ink blended piece. At the left, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the trees and mountains. Since I don't have the matching die, I fussy cut the trailer with scissors. I adhered the woodgrain panel with foam tape and arranged the scene inside the window.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an awesome day!

Designer Choice Cards with Franci and Julia

Hello! Franci here with you today, with a special little project. I made little clothespins!! 

So, I'm growing into gardening and plants and flowers more and more lately. I don't have a garden myself ... but I have a little balcony, and during the last lockdown I planted some veggie seeds (my pride and joy! Ha!). So I needed some cute little clothespins to keep all my extra seeds tidy and organized ... and that's it!

To make these you just need some little clothespins, some white craft foam and the new Looking Sharp set + it's coordinated dies. First of all I stamped, colored with Copics and die cut all my little plants, then added some details with a white gel pen and die cut some more plants out of white cardstock and foam.

I glued my colored image to a craft foam die cut one and added another white cardstock one on the back, then glued this little sandwich to the clothespin itself.  

Little projects like these are so dear to me. Sometime creating little things like these brings so much joy into your everyday life! I hope you are now inspired to create something special with your Sunny Studio goodies, have fun!

Hey crafty friends! It’s Julia here with a fun "any occasion" card!

First, I stamped my images from Plane Awesome, Balloon Rides, Seasonal Tree, A Bird's Life and Meow & Furever onto Bristol Smooth cardstock and then I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color them in. I stamped the first part of the sentiment "flying by to say.." straight onto the little banner. I love having cards for different occasions on hand, so I just left the inside of the card blank and I can stamp the second part of the sentiment to match the occasion I want to use it for later when I am sending the card!

Inks used: Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac, Kitsch Flamingo. Zig Markers used: 999; 202; 64, 68; 52, 31, 37; 803, 80; 904, 95.

I die cut the Slimline Scalloped Frame dies out of Bristol cardstock as well. I added the scalloped piece to a card base that is slightly smaller, so that the scalloped edge stands out more. Then, I ink blended the stitched panel using Distress Oxide inks and a cloud stencil! I added shimmery splatters, as well as colored splatters for more interest.

I adhered my background to my card and then I added all my cute images! Finally, to add lots of shine, I added Stickles to all the little clouds!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!

Designer Choice Cards with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone! Isha here with a floral card. This week is the designer's choice so I decided to play with layers using various patterns from the pattern papers, dies, stamps.

I started by a mat layer using the floral pattern from the Subtle Grey Tones pattern paper. I then cut a stripe of teal paper from the Sleek Stripes paper pad. Die-cut the lattice using the Frilly Frame Lattice die from white cardstock. Cut the lattice as per the design requirement using scissors. Add green color to some places using watercolor. 

Cut a watercolor paper stripe, add pink watercolor to it and let it dry. Adhere all the layers as per the card photo. Adhere to the card base. Die-cut a white circle from the Stitched Circle Small dies. Die-cut a white Scalloped Circle Mat 3 die. 

Stamp the sentiment onto the circle. Adhere the scallop circle slightly showing through onto the right behind the circle die. Stamp the flowers and the leaves from the Pink Peonies stamp set onto watercolor paper. Add color using watercolors. Die-cut using the coordinating dies. Adhere the circle layers and the images onto the card. Flick some white and pink paint to the card. To finish, adhere a few Crystal Clear Jewels.

Thanks for dropping by. Have a nice day!

Hi folks! Kavya here with another fun color fun card! I am always looking for fun ways to combine stamp sets… I mean who doesn’t like stretching supplies? Here is a fun little card for a best friend!

I first started off by creating a cute polka dot background for my card. I first started off by ink blending an A2 panel using shades of pink and peach dye ink. I then used a polka dot stencil and pink ink to stencil the top half of the cardstock. Next, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Sweet Shoppe and Meow and Furever using alcohol makers and colored pencils. I then used two heart dies to create a ‘heart frame’.

For the sentiment, I stacked a bunch of Sweet Word die cuts and applied some PVA glue on top. Then, I dipped it in some white glitter for some extra kick. I also applied some white glitter on the sweets! Finally, I heat embossed the rest of the sentiments from Meow and Furever to finish off the card.

That’s about it! I hope you liked this cute card … I sure had fun making it! Check back tomorrow for more inspiration from rest of the team. Happy Crafting!
