Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have a card featuring the new Oceans of Joy stamp set. I love ocean themed stamp sets and this one is so cute. The images are absolutely adorable and there are so many ideas that I have for this stamp set! I'm also pulling in the Stitched Scallop dies and also Magical Mermaids for a few other accents to make my scene.
To begin my card today I stamped and coloured all my images from the Oceans of Joy and Magical Mermaids stamp set. I used Copic markers for my colouring today as they're so quick and easy. Once everything was coloured I used all the coordinating dies to cut them all out.
Once all my images were done I could work on my background. I used a few colours of Color Burst powders from Ken Oliver for my background today, I first tapped the powers in my palette and then added some drops of water to be able to use like regular watercolours. I then water coloured my background with the colour. I dried it with a heat tool, added some water splatters and dried it again. I then cut the top of my piece with the Stitched Scallop dies and then cut down the entire panel using a paper trimmer. For my sand piece, I repeated the same step as before and then just stamped the sand bank border with some black ink and trimmed it out on the black line. I then adhered it down onto the bottom of my water coloured panel.
I arranged all my images onto my scene with flat and dimensional adhesive. I then lined up my panel onto my white card base and before adhering down my panel I stamped the 'Birthday Fishes' sentiment onto it with more black ink and then adhered down my panel with more foam tape. For a last finishing touch I added some Wink of Stella onto a few of the images and that completed my card.
I hope you enjoyed and are enjoying this new release!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Francine Vuillème
I'm so excited to welcome Francine Vuillème to the blog today as our special guest. She has some gorgeous cards that
you are going to just love!
Hi
stampers! Francine here! So glad to join Sunny
Studio Stamps as a guest this month and I’m thrilled to play with the newest
summer collection! The sets are awesome!
Today,
I have two cards for you showcasing the newest Two Scoops and the A Bird’s Life stamp sets. The idea was to create two
cards with a similar design but using different style of stamps. Here is what I
came up with.
For
the first card, I used the A Bird’s Life set. I created a cute scene with the
branch, the nest and the birds. I drew a hat with a black marker for the flying
bird to make him look more festive. I blended Distress ink over a cloud stencil
to create the sky. I added enamel dots to add a touch of color. A birthday card
with a lot of colors is always fun!
For the second card, I used the same layout elements. I
chose to feature the Two Scoops set. This is a layering stamp set and
there are no images to color. The style of both cards is different. This one is
more modern. As I did for the first card, I blended the bottom of the card
front with Distress ink. This time, I didn’t use a stencil but I splattered
some water over the sponged background to add more interest. I also added a
colorful strip on the left edge and I stamped the sentiment on a white label
(here a speech bubble) that I adhered to the card with foam pads for more
dimension. I also used enamel dots (they have a droplet shape here).
On both
cards, I moved the focal image off-center and trimmed any excess that extended
over the sides of the cards. As you can see, with the same elements and a
similar layout, you can create completely different creations! I hope you like
the idea. By the way, that layering stamp set is AWESOME and look so realistic!
I love it! The stickles on top of the soft ice cream adds so much sparkle and
interest!
Thanks
for visiting the blog today and have a great weekend!

A Bird's Life No Place Like Home Card with Lexa
Hello everyone! Lexa here
with a colorful card featuring the brand new A Bird's Life stamps and coordinating dies. All the fancy bird houses and those little birds...I just
can't! Since I couldn't decide which one was my favorite, I decided to use
them all.
I start with
4.25"x6" white cardstock and blend some Tumbled Glass and Peacock
Feather Distress Inks, I flicked waters with my finger to create the splatter
effect. The card base is slightly taller than I usually use because I want to
create a scene with the bird houses hanging to tree's branches. The sunny sky
is a perfect weather for the birds to having some fun. I die cut SunRay dies on yellow cardstock and it turns out sooo cute!
I stamped all my images
with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. After I
finished coloring, I die cut all the images with the coordinating A Bird's Life dies. The thin white outlines are so perfect. I add rosy
cheeks for the birds...they are adorable beyond words.
I add some glossy
accent and clear sequins to create some dimensions and extra cuteness! ;) Thank you so much for
stopping by today, I hope you like it. Have a wonderful day everyone!

Oceans Of Joy Birthday Card with Vanessa
Hi everybody! Vanessa here with my first
card using the wonderful new release! I am in love with all the sets!! I had to
close my eyes and pick the first set to play with, otherwise I wouldn't have
been able to decide :) Here is what I came up with
using Oceans of Joy.
What are the eight arms good
for? Holding balloons, of course! I started with a panel of watercolor paper
that I trimmed slightly smaller than the blue card base and applied various
blue watercolors to it to create my background. After it was dried, I adhered
it to the card.
Now I stamped the octopus and the balloons, colored them with
Copics, die-cut the images with the coordinating Oceans Of Joy dies and adhered them to the card
with foam tape. After I had drawn the strings with a black marker, I stamped
and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock, notched the
ends and adhered it with foam tape.
So, I hope you liked
today's idea! Can't wait to show you the rest of the cards made with the new
release :) Thanks for visiting!

A Bird's Life Floral Background Card with Amy
Happy Wednesday friends! Amy here sharing a card that features the new stamp set, A Bird's Life and a set from last month's release, Friends &
Family. I thought these
two paired very nicely together to create a flower background, setting the
stage for the birdhouses.
To create the front panel, I
trimmed smooth white cardstock to 5"x 3.75". Using a Misti Tool, I
placed the birdhouses and the sentiment where I wanted them to go and stamped
it using black ink. To create a flower background, I stamped a variety of the
bold flowers and leaves with pastel dye inks. I stamped them around the
birdhouses, spacing them as evenly as I could. I did this using the stamps in
the order of largest to smallest. This allows the smaller stamps to fill in the
open areas.
I wanted this card to have
some dimension so I stamped the birdhouses and the cute little birds on the
smooth white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I also stamped the
bows with dye ink and die-cut all of them using the coordinating A Bird's Life dies. Then, I went back to the front panel and drew a line with
a green Gelly Pen from the top of the card to the roof of the birdhouses. To
finish my card, I added foam adhesives behind all the images and adhered them
to the front. Isn't this card tweet?
I hope you like it!
Thank you so much for stopping by today, and I hope you have an
awesome day! See you next Wednesday.
