Please help me in welcoming a new member to our creative team: the talented Emily Leiphart! I'm thrilled she agreed to share her talents with us and I know you're going to fall in love with her adorable designs as much as I have! I asked Emily to share a bit about herself today, along with a card showing off her fun style. I'm so excited to see more!
Hi! I’m married to a bicycle designer and have a very energetic eight-year-old son who has made numerous appearances in my videos! I have a background in corporate research but I’m also an accomplished makeup artist so I still draw a lot of my inspiration from the fashion world.
I'm so excited to be joining Sunny Studio Stamps as a design team member! I love fun, quirky stamps and Mendi's illustrations are perfect for me. Of all the stamps currently in the Sunny Studio collection, my favourites are the critters with mix-and-match heads and bodies. I had to use the silly raccoon for today's card.
To create my scene, I picked the two main images; the mailbox from Sending My Love and the raccoon from Woodsy Creatures, then stamped and cut masks for them. I created two asks for the raccoon, one for the entire body for stamping the mailbox and another, just for the paws, so I could stamp the apple from Summer Picnic behind the digits.
After stamping the main part of the scene, I stamped the sentiment and added falling leaves - also from Woodsy Creatures - to create movement down and across the card. After colouring everything with Copic markers, I used the same colours from the leaf on the apple and the mailbox to create a pointillist anchor to ground the scene.
Thank you, Mendi, for this wonderful opportunity!

Hi everyone, it's Stephanie and I'm thrilled to be guesting on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog. I have a fun Halloween themed card to share that I created by combining the Halloween Cuties stamp set with the Sweet Shoppe stamp set. I thought it would be fun to mix and match the Halloween images with some of the sweet treats and colour them all in with Halloween colours.
I stamped out all of the images that I wanted to use on white cardstock and then coloured them all in with Copic markers. I used mainly purples, oranges and greens so they would all match and look Halloween themed. Once I had them all coloured, I used my scissors and fussy cut everything out. I used a glue pen to add glue to each piece and adhere them all together on a white cardstock panel.
I layered all of the images together to create my sweet scene and then once I had them all adhered, I added some detail to the images. I added clear sparkle to the icing on the donuts and the cupcake and I added some white highlights to various images using a white gel pen. I also added some sprinkles to both of the donuts using a black gel pen. I completed the card by adding the sentiment which was a combination of two different sentiments from each of the stamp sets.
Thanks so much for joining me today! ;)
Stephanie
