Turtley Awesome Turtle Birthday Card with Lindsey

Hi, Lindsey here today sharing my last post before I have my sweet little boy. I'll be taking a break from the design team for a while, but hopefully will be back to share more cards with you soon. I really appreciate all the love, support, and sweet comments you guys have given me during my time with Sunny Studio Stamps! Now let's get started on this fun birthday card using the Turtley Awesome stamps.

To begin, I cut a patterned piece of paper to an A2 size for my card base. Next, I cut a slightly narrower piece of orange card stock to go on top of the polka dot paper. I decided to do a circle design on the orange panel. I cut different sizes of coordinating stitched circles to make a cool design. Then, I stamped my sentiment on the bottom right corner of the orange panel and stamped the rest of the images on some white card stock.

I colored the turtle and birthday images using Copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating Turtley Awesome dies. Once I had my design layed out, I adhered all the circles down using some adhesive. I then popped up the stamped images using some foam tape, so they would really stand out on the card. To finish off the card, I added a few highlights using my white gel pen.

That's it for me today. I think this card turned out super cute and this set is great for boy birthday cards. With such a great price point, you should definitely give this set a try. Thanks so much for reading and have a great day!

Daffodil Dreams and Vintage Jar Card + Video with Emily

Hi everyone, Emily here. I have wanted to make this video since the release of Daffodil Dreams and Vintage Jar. These layered sets are absolutely stunning and I wanted to share how easy it is to use them. Simply use the number guides printed on the stamp set itself, or follow along using the stamp guide provided on the store site.

Since I really wanted the daffodils to stand out (yes, I know they're not really pink but perhaps someday there will be pink ones), I kept the rest of the card simple. I only sponged around the white linen panel to highlight the burlap wrap.

This card has many parts to it, but was extremely easy to make. I would love to receive a card like this myself so I think I will find it hard to give away. ;) The little burlap wrap and white hemp cord around the jar has such a huge impact and complements the stamped flowers so nicely!

Sun Ray Dies Rainbow Background Card with Eloise

Hi everyone. Eloise here and today I'm using the Sun Ray dies to create a fun rainbow background. Along with the Sun Ray dies, I'm also using the Friends & Family stamp set and Friends & Family Word dies for my sentiment also.

To begin my card today I die cut a ton of the Sun Rays out of some watercolour cardstock. I then pulled lots of Distress Ink colours and ink blended them all with different colours and arranged them in rainbow order. Once they were all coloured, I went ahead and added adhesive to a scrap piece of paper and adhered them all done in the order I wanted. I then trimmed down the edges and any excess paper sticking out on the sides. I then added some fun foam on the back and adhered it to the card base.

For the sentiment I die cut out the 'Friends' word die from the Friends & Family Word dies from some black cardstock and black fun foam and adhered them together, then onto my card. For the sentiment, it came from the Friends & Family stamp set and I stamped down the 'are better than therapy' in black ink underneath. For a finishing touch I added some Wink of Stella in the clear to the 'Friends' word.

That finishes up my card for today. These Sun Ray dies have so many uses, I just wanted to try and use them a little differently today.

Stop back by the blog the rest of the week for more inspiration!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Melissa Bickford

I'm so excited to welcome Melissa Bickford to the blog today as our special guest. She has some gorgeous cards that you are going to just love! 

Happy Saturday, stamping friends! Melissa here with you today and I’m super excited to be guesting for Sunny Studio Stamps and sharing a little something using there oh so colorful stamp sets! When I first saw Color Me Happy and Friends & Family, it was love at first sight. I love flowers and love color and I knew I was going to have a hard time putting them down once I started creating with them. You can’t help but smile and be happy when you ink them up!

I have two cards to share today. One for each of the sets I mentioned above. Let’s start with Friends & Family first.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Friends & Family and Color Me Happy cards by Melissa Bickford.

To begin, I trimmed a piece of white card-stock to measure 3.75 x 5” for my images to sit on. Next came the flowers ... those were all stamped towards the left side of my card-stock in various colors of ink. I stamped ‘forever’ as part of my sentiment and die cut ‘friends’, using the coordinating Friends & Family Flower dies and Friends & Family Word dies and adhered that above it. To add just a little dimension to my card, I die cut a few of the flowers and leaves, stamped them, and then attached them among the rest of my flowers.

Before attaching my floral panel to my card base, I added two strips of pink card-stock along the bottom. I added dimensional foam behind my floral panel and then attached it all to my card base. And lastly, I added lots of sparkle and shine by adding sequins.

Card #2 features the super fun Color Me Happy stamp set. I went with bright colors for this card and used the Sun Ray dies to create my design. After die cutting all of my circles, I stamped them each with one of the heart images in the stamp set. After attaching them all to my card base, I moved onto my sentiment. That was created using the Color Word die and one of the many sentiments from the set.

And to finish it off, I added more sparkly sequins around my sentiment!


Thank you so much for visiting with us today. I’m so happy that I got to share my love for these sets. I hope you enjoyed and hope you have a wonderful Saturday!

I mixed up two stamp set for this card, Rain or Shine and Color Me Happy. I'm so glad to find out that the older stamp sets could coordinate well with the new ones. My card tells a story about how there's a rainbow after rains, so don't you worry about a thing. I started with a 4.25" x 5.5" white card base and blended them with Pumice Stone, Shaded Lilac, Tumbled Glass Distress Inks. I also sprayed some water to create faded colors on some spot.

I stamped all my images with Versafine black ink on a piece of watercolor paper and colored them all with Distress Markers. To create a bokeh effect, I die cut circles using Sun Ray Dies on vellum. I stamped some raindrops with blue dye inks to complete my story that the rain just stopped and a beautiful rainbow appear.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you all have a wonderful day!
