Sunny Saturday Share: Love Themed Cards for Valentine' s Day


Hello there!  I hope you're all have a nice Saturday in your neck of the woods!  Today I'm popping in with a couple of darling customer cards that I spotted on the web this week. 

AJ Bodine has created the most wonderful card using our Happy Home stamp set.  I absolutely love all the fun details she has poured into this card, from the sweet way she colored her house with the brick exterior to the fun fluffy clouds in her background.  I think her color choices are amazing too!  :)

Up next is another super cute card by Lenae at Sugargems.  I am smitten with her Valentine spin on the butterflies from Backyard Bugs. What a fun way to stretch your stamps!  :)

Guest Designer Spotlight: Spring Cards with Suzy Plantamura


I'm so happy to be welcoming a new friend to the blog that I have admired and looked up to since my early days in scrapbooking.  Please welcome the wildly talented Suzy Plantamura!!!  

Take it away Suzy...

Happy Easter Card using A Good Egg Stamp set
Sunny Studio Stamps: A Good Egg Happy Easter Card by Suzy Plantamura.
I painted all the stamped images with watercolors. I added glossy accents to the eggs in the basket and all the eggs in the grass. I added grass borders in three layers so I could tuck some of the eggs under the layers to make them appear as if the little chick was going on an Easter egg hunt. I stamped the Happy Easter in bright pink ink on a stamped banner for the salutation.

Fluttering By Card using Backyard Bugs Stamp set

Sunny Studio Stamps: Backyard Bugs Fluttering By Card by Suzy Plantamura.

To make the background, I painted coral stripes with watercolor. I then stamped the dotted line wavy border on the non-painted stripes to match the stripes, but add a subtle design that added to the theme of the card. I added glimmer to the butterfly and flower with a Wink of Stella pen. All of the stamped images are painted with watercolor. I used pop dots behind the larger mushroom.

A Flower Card with Custom Sentiment by Elise

Hello! It's Elise again to share a card with you this morning that features the Sweet Script stamp set from Sunny Studio Stamps! This set is great for helping to create custom sentiments on your cards and projects! Here is the card that I created:


Sunny Studio Stamps: Backyard Bugs & Sweet Script Flower Pot Card by Elise Constable.

I paired the script set with the Backyard Bugs stamp set and die to create a card that is perfect for cheering up a friend! To paper piece the flowers, I used the die cuts to cut a flower from green patterned paper, and then cut another flower from a colorful patterned paper and cut off the stem. I then glued the flower to the green paper! Here is a close up on the flowers:

The flower and pots are also adhered with foam tape. I added some blue paper to my card base, added some twine, and adhered the white panel to the front of the card! 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope that you enjoyed the card! :)

Sweet Script I Love You Heart Card with Marion

Hello. It's Marion here with a sweet Valentine's Day card that uses the Sweet Script stamp set and also the Sunny Borders stamp set and coordinating dies. I've also been itching to use the newly released Stitched Heart dies - and they are wonderful!

I started by die cutting a heart from white card stock and then I sponged on some Festive Berries Distress ink. Once dry, I mounted the letters 'Love' (from the Sweet Script stamp set) onto an acrylic block and then stamped it repeatedly in Hero Arts Raspberry Jam ink. I also darkened the edges of the heart with the same ink. I mounted the heart onto the card with some mounting foam. The banner was stamped and die cut and I generated my own "I Love You" sentiment from the Sweet Script stamp set. I added a little bit of shading onto the banner with Copic markers.

The heart is covered in a layer of clear Wink of Stella glitter brush pen. I love the subtle shimmer.

Sweet Script "You Have My Heart" Card with Heidi

Hello everybody, Heidi here! Today I am sharing a very fun Valentine's card featuring custom made sentiment using the Sweet Script stamp set, images from the adorable Sending My Love stamp set, and the Stitched Hearts die set.

I think it's so important to have alphabet stamp sets to customize not only sentiments but also to personalize gifts and cards. The "Sweet Script" stamp set is very easy to use and has both upper and lowercase letters, a real must have.


Sunny Studio You Have My Heart Valentine's Day Card by Heidi Criswell (using Stitched Heart Dies, Sweet Script & Sending My Love Stamps).

For this card I stamped and colored the little puppy from the Sending My Love stamp set, then I inked a piece of 5.50 by 4.25 inch cardstock using "distress inks" and them I spritzed them with some water to create some splatters. I cut a white front panel and used the medium size heart from the Stitched Hearts die set to cut a window to set the little puppy.

I heat embossed the sentiment on a piece of velum using gold embossing powder and I also cut some hearts from inked paper and embossed paper using the heart dies from the "Sending my love" stamp set. 

The stamps and dies are available for purchase at the Sunny Studio Shop.  I hope you enjoyed this card.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a lovely day!

A Good Egg Easter Chick Card with Melissa

Hello everyone, Melissa here! Today I have a card to share using three of the newly released stamp sets. Sweet Script, A Good Egg and Sunny Borders

To make this card I first die-cut a stitched rectangle out of white cardstock and used a light brown ink to lightly blend the outside edge. I laid the chick, eggs and paint bucket from A Good Egg out on the rectangle where I wanted them and stamped and masked them, starting with the chick in the foreground until the scene was complete. I then colored them in using Copic Markers. 

Sunny Studio Stamps Easter Chick Card by Melissa Bowden (using Sweet Script, Sunny Borders Banner & A Good Egg)

For the sentiment I used the “Happy” from A Good Egg and made the word “Easter” using the Sweet Script stamp set. I stamped those inside of the banner from Sunny Borders onto patterned paper and fussy cut them out. I then stuck that onto the top on the card above the little scene. To finish the card I mounted it onto a scalloped rectangle border. 


I hope you enjoyed the card for today! Thanks for stopping by!

Hello there!  Today I'm popping in with some Valentine's Day cards created by our customers using our new Sending My Love stamp set and coordinating dies.

Up first is a darling pop-up card by Lenae (you can follow her on instagram at: sugargems).  I adore the happy little scene she created with the mail box and letters and the little ladybug from Backyard Bugs!  Such a bright and happy card, right?  :)

Our next card is a super fun and sunny card by Lori U'ren (you can follow her on instagram at LoriUren) combining the snail from Backyard Bugs with all of the fun images and phrase from Sunny Sentiments and the Sunshine Word die.  

I Love the the blue band she created behind the word "sunshine".   She reminded me that I don't always have to stamp in black ink too.  :)
