Sunny Saturday Share: All Occasion Cards for Spring & Summer


For all you scrapbookers out there, may I wish you a Happy National Scrapbook Day!  I am currently at a 3-day crop that I have participated in for the past 8 years with my local craft store.  It's 14 hours a day of pure crafting happiness and historically I have finished 20% of my scrapbooking for the year in that 3 day period (with a couple weeks of massive prepping ahead of time).  Unfortunately I didn't have the luxury of much prep time this year so I will just be happy to be doing some scrapbooking.  It's always loads of fun and I'm thrilled to have some girly time away from my computer.  ;)

I have been seeing some wonderful projects out on social media in the past couple of weeks and I'm super excited to share a few of them with you today!

In honor of National Scrapbook day I thought I would also share a planner style scrapbook page I created using Doodlebug's Daily Doodles collection along with our Sweet Script stamps.  The numbers in this set are the perfect size for filling in the days of the month!  :)

Woo Hoo Congrats Grad Card with Lexa

Woo Hoo it's Friday already!

Lexa here today with my favorite teal and yellow color combo with inspiration for a graduation card. I don't know why I just love both colors paired side by side. What do you think?

The focal point on my card is this adorable little owl from Woo Hoo stamp set.  He's the cutest!


I started my card with a piece of watercolor paper.  I scribble some Evergreen Bough, Crushed Olive and Mustard Seed Distress Inks on a plastic sheet and spray them with some water. After that I just put my watercolor paper on it, press lightly then you'll have a pretty watercolor background.  It doesn't have to be perfect, imperfection makes everything prettier. :)

All the leaves are stamped with the same Evergreen Bough ink which I slightly blended using a wet paint brush. For all my images, I stamped and colored before I die-cut them all with the coordinate Woo Hoo dies. I love the neat white border when they are popped out the die cut machine.


To finish, I arranged all the pieces together, stamped the sentiments and this card is ready to go. I also add a generous amount of glossy accent for the glasses, it adds an extra something.

Thank you for stopping by today. Have a wonderful weekend!

Woo Hoo Girly Owl Graduation Card with Vanessa

Hey everyone! Vanessa here with a girly graduation card using the adorable Woo Hoo stamp set and coordinating dies. The owl of the set is just the cutest!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Congrats Graduation Girly Owl card by Vanessa Menhorn (using Woo Hoo stamps & Star Border die)

I started with a panel of patterned paper that I trimmed slightly smaller than a light grey/blue card base and stamped the sentiment onto the bottom right corner. Then I adhered the panel to the card. I stamped, colored and die-cut the owl, the branch, the hat and the leaves and arranged them on the card, using foam tape to adhere the owl and her hat. Finally, I die-cut the stars using the Star Border Die from various cardstock and adhered them next to the matching dots on the patterned paper.

Playing with this set was so much fun! I hope it made you smile, too! Thanks for visiting today!

Woo Hoo Graduation Owl Cap & Diploma Card with Lindsey

Hi, Lindsey here. Today I'm sharing a graduation card using the adorable Woo Hoo stamp set and the banner from the previously released Sunny Borders stamp set. This set is great because you can personalize your card with any schools' colors. Just stamp the cute little owl and color his accessories to match your graduate's school colors.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Woo Hoo Happy Graduation Owl Cap & Diploma Card by Lindsey Bailey.

I started my card with an A2 size rectangle. I created my own patterned paper by stamping several caps and diplomas all over the rectangle. Then I colored the images using Copic markers. I also colored the border around the outside of the card with a blue Copic marker. 

I made the little owl the star of the show by creating a little scene for him on a stitched circle. I colored the outside edge of the circle and popped it up using foam tape. I stamped the "Happy Graduation" sentiment in the banner, colored the edge with blue, and popped it up with foam tape as well. I think the blue on the outside of all the shapes really pops. It is a simple and easy way to personalize your card. I finished the card by adding some Wink of Stella to all the areas where you see blue.

This set is so adorable! I love owls, and I can definitely see myself using this set for more than just graduation cards. It is nice that the graduation cap is not attached to the owl, so you can choose to use it or not. Thanks for reading, and I hope you've been inspired to create your own personalized graduation card for your own graduate!

A Woo Hoo Clean and Simple Owl Card by Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here!  Today I have a really CAS card for you featuring the cute set Woo Hoo! Isn't this owl awesome?

Sunny Studio Stamps: A CAS Woo Hoo Owl card by Anni

With such a cute stamp it is easy to make a simple card!  I started with stamping, coloring and fussy cutting the owl and the branch.  What I love about this stamp set is that you can add as many leaves to the branch as you like. Or leave it without for a winter card.

Then I die-cut a rectangle and added some ink blending to emphasize the focal point and to add more color to the card.  I love a lot of white space but not too much as it can be boring!

For the card base I chose some embossed cardstock with some wood grain texture to add a little bit of interest.  I finished the card with a little bit of glossy accents for the glasses.

Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week.

Woo Hoo Owl Happy Graduation Card with Eloise

Hello everyone, Eloise here today and I’m going to be featuring the new Woo Hoo stamp set and this one is a fun one, I love the owl and the different types of graduation sentiments to go along with the images. I decided to create a simple scene with a tone on tone background for todays card. I also used a die set that was previously released called Fishtail Banners to create the fun banner panel. I love this die, it’s so well created.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Woo Hoo Happy Graduation Owl Card by Eloise Blue.

So to start off todays card I first stamped out the images from the Woo Hoo stamp set that I’m going to use in some black ink and then clear embossed over it. I always so this so the watercolour stays contained within the image a little easier. I then coloured in all my images with Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers, they’re so super easy to use with these images. Once they were coloured and dried, I cut them all out. There are coordinating dies for this set also, which is super awesome!

I then started to work on my background. For this I wanted a super simple tone on tone background, just to give it some interest. I took a piece of kraft cardstock to make my cardbase and then I used both sizes of the diploma images from the stamp set to make the background. I just used Versamark ink to stamp out the images as it gives a great watermark effect and I knew it would be perfect for the tone on tone technique. Because it is a little sticky, I did quickly zap it with a heat tool to make sure it wouldn’t smear or anything like that.

Now that my card base is complete, I moved on to my panel. I wanted to create a smaller panel today since I wanted to background to show through. So I decided to take one of the Fishtail Banners dies from the set and create a fun banner on the bottom of some watercolour cardstock. Once it was die cut I used some Distress Inks to blend in the background and grass. I then used some water on a paint brush to create that water splotch look. Once it was dry I stamped out my sentiment from the same WooHoo stamp set – I decided to use the Happy Graduation one and I used some more black ink to stamp it. I then adhered my banner panel onto my card using some foam adhesive for dimension along with my images. To give it a last finishing touch, I used some hemp cord to tie a bow around the top of my card base.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed and make sure you stop by the rest of the week to see some more awesome projects by the other ladies!
