Sending a Smile Birthday Card with Audrey

Hi there!  Audrey here!  I am so sad that this will be my last post as part of the Sunny Studio design team.  I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on the team and have had so much fun!

Today I am sharing a card using the Bundled Up stamp set and Birthday Smiles stamp set.  I stamped the balloons from the Birthday Smiles stamp set on the top of my white card base, followed by the balloon strings.  I stamped, colored and fussy cut two penguins from the Bundled Up stamp set and grounded them on a piece of black cardstock.  

To add a fun pop of color, I added a strip of cardstock that was inked with distress inks in a rainbow of colors, and then along the left edge, a piece of polka dot paper.  I added a black and white twine bow along the bottom, and stamped a sentiment from Birthday Smiles in the top right corner.  It didn't pop enough for my liking, so I outlined it with a white gel pen, a trick I learned from a fellow stamper, Kelly.  Finally, I added a scattering of clear sequins in various sizes.

That's all for me today, but before I go we have one final sneak peek for the Spring release with another look at the Sunny Borders stamps (with coordinating dies).  This set not only features some fun borders, but all a very versatile banner die and extra sentiment to fit inside.  :)

Be sure to stop by tomorrow for more inspiration from the design team!! :)

Cool Christmas Watercolored Card with Heidi

Hello everyone, Heidi Here!  Today I have a card that I created by combining a couple of adorable winter stamp sets, the "Bundle Up" and "Snow Kissed" I think these two stamps complement each other nicely.

For this card, I stamped and heat embossed the winter accessories from the "Bundle Up" stamp set to created a background pattern, then I water colored all the little images and I applied a very subtle blue color on the whole background. I stamped the adorable penguin from the "Snow Kissed" stamp set and I colored using water color brush markers as well, and I die cut it using its coordinated die. Finally, I stamped the sentiment on a piece of black card stock and I heat embossed it using white embossing powder.

I hope you've enjoyed this card, the "Snow kissed" and the "Bundle Up" stamp set are available at the Sunny Studio shop.

For today's sneak peek we have one last look at the Rain or Shine stamp set which includes a rainbow and two clouds.  The beauty of these images is that they come separate so you can use the clouds with the rainbow or on their own (or mixed with the larger cloud from the Sunny Sentiments set).  ;)

I wish you a very Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate, and a Happy New Year! 

Have a lovely day!
