School Time: You're A Good Apple with Anni

Hey stampers, Anni!  Today I have a card for you that uses just a few supplies: the stamp set School Time, some inks, cardstock and some Copics to color with. It is easy to make and perfect for mass production.

Sunny Studio Stamps: School Time You're A Good Apple Card by Anni Lerche.

As I said the card is easy to make but as easy it is I used four (yes, four!) different ink pads on this simple card.  For the apple I used an Copic friendly ink (Memento Tuxedo Black Ink).
For the sentiment I chose Versafine ink because it is perfect for detailed images and letters.
For the lined page I needed an ink that is more subtle so I decided to go with a warm grey.
And finally for the background I wanted something that wasn't too dominant. I love the effect of white pigment ink on kraft cardstock so that was the way to go.

In the end I thought the card needed something so I added some Glossy Accents to the apple.

Thanks for stopping by and have a sunny week!

School Time Melted Crayon Inspired Card with Eloise

Hi there! Eloise here again today and I'm here to show you a card I used featuring the School Time stamp set and dies. I love seeing that melted crayon art that you see and I wanted to create a card like that today using watercolours.


Sunny Studio Stamps: School Time Crayon Watercolor Thank You Card by Eloise Blue.

To begin my card I stamped and embossed lots of crayons from the School Time stamp set on some watercolour paper. I then used my Peerless Watercolours to watercolour them in. Once they were dry I die cut them out using the coordinating dies. I then took a piece of watercolour cardstock once again and used the a stitched rectangle die to die cut it out. I then used the same Peerless Watercolour colours to watercolour the background in rainbow order. I did a super messy watercolour to try and replicate the look of the watercolour dripping down. I then dried it off with a heat tool to dry it completely. I then used foam adhesive to adhere down my crayons onto the top of the die cut rectangle.


Sunny Studio Stamps: School Time Crayon Watercolor Thank You Card by Eloise Blue.

For my sentiment I cut a thin strip of black cardstock and stamped down the 'thank you' sentiment from the same set and white heat embossed it. I foam mounted that onto the panel and then went onto adhering my card together. I was going to just adhere it onto the white card base but I wanted to break it up a little so I cut a scalloped rectangle out of some kraft cardstock and adhered that flat onto the card. I then used some fun foam on the back of the watercoloured panel and adhered that down too. To finish it off I used some Wink of Stella on the crayons to give it a little sparkle.

That's it for today, I hope you enjoyed and got inspired to use this School Time stamp set. Make sure you check out the blog this week for more inspiration using this set!
