Sunny Sentiments Encouragement CAS Card with Heidi

Hello everybody! Heidi here!  This week we are introducing the "Sunny Sentiments" stamp set so I created this encouragement card, using a very clean and simple approach. I also use the "Sunshine word" die.  I hope you'll enjoy today's card.

For this card, I masked a portion of the front panel, then I placed a sun rays stencil and inked the stencil using distress inks. I picked this fabulous encouragement sentiment from the "Sunny Sentiments" stamp set and stamped on the center of the stenciled portion of the card. I cut the "Sunshine word" die using yellow and black card stock and placed them on an offset to create the illusion of a drop shadow on the word die. I adhered the die-cut panel to the card and lastly I added some sequins as a finishing touch.   

CAS (Clean and Simple) cards are one of my favorite cards, and with the adorable "Sunny Sentiments" stamp set you can create CAS cards or combine it with other sets to create happy and lovely cards. Visit the Sunny Studio Stamps shop to purchase the products feature on this post. 

I hope you enjoy this card.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a lovely day!

Sunny Sentiments You Are My Sunshine Card with Melissa

Hello everyone, Melissa here! Today I have a card to share using Sunny Sentiments!  I paired it with the Backyard Bugs stamp set to create a cute mini scene. 

To create this card I first die cut a small square out of white paper. I stamped all the images where I wanted them, masking off the lady bugs and flower to add the grass. After they were all stamped I colored the whole scene with Copic markers. I adhered the scene to a piece of white paper with a patterned paper border and added the sentiment from Sunny Sentiments. 

That completes the card!  I hope you enjoyed it.  Thanks for stopping by!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Spring Cards with Kay Miller

I'm so excited to welcome another guest to the blog today, the amazing Kay Miller!!!  Many of can probably recognize her adorable style before even seeing her name.   I love every creation she makes and am honored that she's here sharing her talents with us.  Take it away Kay...

Hello! I am so excited to share a couple of cards made with the adorable new spring stamps from Sunny Studio Stamps! 

On my first card I used the cute new  A Good Egg stamp set. I colored everything with Copic markers and fussy cut them out. They have matching dies available, but I didn't have them for this card. For my background I blended some Salty Ocean and Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink onto watercolor paper and sprinkled with water. When that was dry, I cut it out with a stitched rectangle die. I then stamped the sentiment in black ink, added the little paper patterned border to the bottom, and adhered this stitched panel to an A2 top folded white card base. 

***

My next card features a super cute stamp set called Backyard Bugs. It has some really cute sentiments in it as well as adorable little critters! I watercolored the background with some Peerless watercolors to create a sky for my little scene. The grass is cut out of some patterned paper and glued down to the watercolored panel. All of the stamps were colored with Copic markers, fussy cut out, and adhered with foam tape. I stamped the sentient on a banner and adhered it and the whole panel to a white card base.

Sending My Love Valentine Note Cards with Elise

Hi everyone! It's Elise again to share a cute set of note cards that feature Sunny Studio Stamps "Sending My Love" stamp set and die! 

I wanted to make something that would be easy to slip into a lunch box or tie onto a gift for Valentine's day, and this set is the perfect set to use!  I stamped and colored the images with Prismacolor pencils, and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I added some blue ink to the background for the sky, and I also used the "Sunny Sentiment" dies to cut some grass from green card stock. I glued the images to the scene, and stamped the sentiment in black ink. 

Here is a close-up of one of the cards. The hands and head are attached with foam tape so that they stand out against the scene. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you like these Valentine's Day note cards! Stop by again tomorrow for some more inspiration! :)

I kept things pretty simple with this card. I sponged on some clouds and grass with some masks and distress inks.

Sending My Love Happy Mail Kitty Cat Card with Melissa

Hello everyone, Melissa here! Today I have a card to share using the newly released stamp set Sending My Love. This set is super versatile, by swapping out the hands of the little critters, it could suit many different occasions!   I decided to make a pretty simple card today. 

To make the card I first cut out a rectangle out of white card and also a little banner. I stamped the banner with the sentiment and added some stitching to the edge with a Copic multi liner.  I then stamped the cat, the love heart and the little envelopes, colored them with Copic markers and fussy cut them out. 

To assemble the card I first stuck the white rectangle onto a piece of patterned paper. I then added the banner and lined up the cat, heart and envelopes across the top.

Happy Easter Card using A Good Egg Stamp set

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

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:

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.

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. 

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!

Backyard Bugs What's Buzzin? Bumblebee Card with Francine

Hi everyone!  This is Francine.

Today, I’m featuring the Backyard Bugs stamps. What an amazing set! Here is the card I made:   

OMG…. this cute little bee… It was love at first sight! I decided to focus on that image and this is why I created a scene for my bee. I first sponged the background with Distress inks (Tumbled Glass and Broken China). Next, I stamped the bee and the hearts in black ink. I colored and fussy cut them. I also die-cut a cloudy border from white cardstock.  

To finish off my card, I stamped the fun “What’s buzzin’?” sentiment on a speech bubble and I adhered everything together with foam dots. 

I hope you enjoyed this post! Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous day!

♥ Francine

Backyard Bugs Fluttering By To Say Hi Butterfly Card with Elise

Hi everyone! It's Elise here to share a card with you that features the Backyard Bugs stamps and dies from Sunny Studio Stamp! If you can't tell, the butterfly stamp is my favorite, so I created a card to showcase how cute it is!

I stamped the butterfly onto some patterned paper and die cut two butterflies from each paper. I attached one of the butterflies to the card base and the top butterfly is only attached in the middle so that I could fold the wing to make it more three dimensional. Here is a close up to show you the two layers:

I stamped the sentiment inside of the banner from Sunny Borders stamp and die cut it with the coordinating die.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Stop by again tomorrow from some more inspiration featuring the Backyard Bugs set!  :)
