Backyard Bugs Home Is Where The Heart Is Card by Melissa

Hello everyone, Melissa here!  Today I have a card to share using another one of the newly released stamp sets, Backyard Bugs. This set has a bunch of cute little bugs to make the sweetest outdoor springtime scenes . I absolutely LOVE it! 


Sunny Studio: Home Is Where The Heart Is Mushroom House Card by Melissa Bowden (using Backyard Bugs & Happy Home stamps)

To make this card I first die cut a stitched rectangle out of white card and used a light brown ink to lightly blend the outside edge. After that I stamped the sentiment which is from the Happy Home stamp set. I wanted to do this first so I knew exactly how much room I had to fit my scene. 

I then stamped and masked off the flowers, mushroom and lady bug before stamping the mushroom house. I also free-handed a little path leading up to the house with a Copic multi-liner. I then removed all of the masks and colored the images with Copic markers. To create the striped paper for the card base I used a stencil and some red distress ink.

I hope you enjoyed the card for today and that you love this stamp set as much as I do! Don’t forget to check back for more inspiration!

Sunny Sunday Share: Bundled Up Winter Penguin Cards

Hello there!  I'm a day late, but I wanted to pop in with some darling projects that caught my eye on instagram over the past week or two using our Bundled Up stamp set and coordinating dies.

Up first is a super cute card by Anita Madden (at amadden725).  I am in love with her mad coloring skills and her artful use of patterned paper!  Loving her touches with the complimentary orange color too!  :)

I just adore the darling way she colored her kitty and her clean and simple style!  The little window with the kitty peeking out is too cute and I love the way she cut the heart with hands out as a separate piece to pop them up and make them stand out!

Rain or Shine: You Make Me Happy Card with Elise

Good morning! It's Elise again to share a colorful card with you that features the Rain or Shine stamp set and dies!

I was so excited about the rainbow and cloud stamps in this set, and I knew they would be perfect for a cheery, colorful card!

The images are all colored with Prismacolor pencils and attached with foam tape. I used a smiley face stamp from another set that I had in my stash, but the face could easily be drawn on the cloud with a black marker. I also added some stickles to the edge of the clouds and the hearts for some extra detail. Here is a close up on those adorable clouds!

Thanks for stopping by and stop by again tomorrow for some more inspiration! :)

Hi there. It's Marion here with another card using the Rain or Shine stamp set. Isn't this puppy just the sweetest thing?

I created the background with my new Kuretake water colour paints onto some Tim Holtz water colour paper.  I thought it created the perfect background for the cute doggy image from the set which I coloured with Copic markers. I popped up the images with some foam dimensionals.

Rain or Shine Sending Sunshine Rainbow Card by Mendi

Hello there!  Today the team is showcasing ways to use the Rain or Shine stamp set and I have a fun Rainbow card that I created pairing sentiments from the complimentary Sunny Sentiments stamp set.


Sunny Studio Stamps Sending Sunshine Rainbow Card by Mendi (using Rain or Shine and Sunny Sentiments)

I colored my image in with Copic markers.  I used a pale B0000 to color in shade the bottom of my clouds and then popped them up with foam tape to add some interest.  I then added a little clear glossy accents over my hearts to give them some shine.  

For my sentiment I gently bent the stamp on my block to have it follow the curve of my rainbow.  Love how clear stamps can be shaped like this!  :)

Rain or Shine Let's Weather It Together Card with Melissa

Hello everyone, Melissa here! I am super excited to share a card with you today featuring the newly released stamp set Rain or Shine! This set is so much fun! 

Sunny Studio Stamps Rain or Shine Rainy Day Let's Weather It Together Card by Melissa Bowden.

Like a lot of my cards, this is one layer so required quite a bit of masking. I first stamped the dog holding his umbrella, then masked them off and stamped the grassy border from Sunny Sentiments. Once that was done I masked off the grass area with masking paper and inked up the sky using a variety of blue inks. I then used a darker blue to stamp the raindrops. I then removed the mask from the grass and stamped the sentiment on the bottom of the card and heat embossed it using white embossing powder. 

To add the color to the grass I masked off the sky and inked it up using several green inks. Next I colored both the dog and his umbrella using distress inks. To finish the card I stuck the scene onto a scalloped card base.
