Backyard Bugs Little Snail Mail Card with Melissa

Hello everyone, Melissa here! Today I have a card to share using the stamp set Backyard Bugs (and the letter from Sending My Love). This set is my favorite from the spring release, it is so good for making scenes and the little bugs are too cute!

To make this card I first stamped the sentiment on the top of a small rectangle of white card. I wanted to do this first so I knew exactly how much room I had to fit my scene. I then stamped and masked all of the images, starting in the foreground and working my way back. I then removed all of the masks and colored the images with Copic markers. To finish up the card I attached it to a piece of yellow patterned paper.

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 Saturday Share: Spring & Easter Themed Cards



Happy Saturday!  Today I'm popping in with some awesome Easter cards spotted on instagram this past week.

Up first we have a couple cards by the talented Lindsey Sams (@baileyl5) using our A Good Egg Stamps and coordinating dies.

When I saw this darling card I literally squealed.  How clever is it to stack all the eggs together with the chick on top?!  I love her beautiful coloring and the fun glittery accents she added to the eggs with a wink-of-stella pen (you might have to visit her feed to see the beautiful close-up shots to fully appreciate all her beautiful details).  ;)

Her second card is equally adorable.  I am loving the fun die-cut scalloped borders in her background and how it ties together all the colors in her images!

I also adore these sweet cards by Sarah Elliott (sarahelliott76 on Instagram) using the same A Good Egg Stamps.  :)

She shares a fun video on how she created these on her YouTube channel HERE.  I found her so soothing to listen to her creating and explaining her process while I worked. She's a wonderful teacher!  :)

Last, but certainly not least I spotted this darling card by Tanya Adams (studio5380 on Instagram) using our Backyard Bugs stamps.  I am so smitten with her color scheme.  Pink and green is one of my favorite combinations and with pink mushrooms it's even better!  Loving her sweet die-cut lace border and her beautifully colored grass too!  :)

Aren't these all so cute?!  We'd love to see what you've been creating with our stamps & dies too!  As always you share your creations with us on our Facebook page, in our Flickr group or by tagging us with the hashtag #SunnyStudioStamps on instagram.

I hope the rest of your weekend is happy!  :)
