Inspiration Week: Introducing Barnyard Buddies & Missing Ewe

Hello & welcome to our inspiration week where I will be sharing sneak peeks of Sunny Studio's newest release for Fall coming out on July 21st!  I hope you will pull up a comfy chair and join me.  Make sure to scroll to the bottom to enter today's giveaway too!  ;)

Today I'm excited to introduce you to our new Barnyard Buddies and Missing Ewe Stamps and Dies!  I went through a "country" phase in the 90's where I was obsessed with cute cows and after that I received a million cows from thoughtful friends and family.  While I have parted with most of my collection, I still have a soft spot for cute farm animals.  ;)  

I don't know why, but the entire time I was designing this set, I had in my mind that I wanted to stack the critters and they didn't disappoint.  The set comes with a small section of fence that is great for repeating in scenes and using to layer in the distance.

For my next card I used the little barn from the set, along with my beloved cow to create a fun, punny card.  To create a relatively flat card, I took turns masking off the sky line and dirt path before inking with my favorite jumbo dauber and distress inks.  Then to add a bit of interest, I stamped a border of corn stalks and the grass image, using some companion stamps that come with the set.  For my last finishing touch, I heat embossed the tiny white flowers and topped them with some Nuvo Dandelion Yellow Crystal Drops.  :)

Up next is a card showcasing the leaping sheep from the 2x3 Missing Ewe set.  This set comes with several fun punny sentiments playing on the word "ewe", but for this card I wanted to go soft and sweet with a baby theme so I borrowed a sentiment from our Baby Bear stamps and the fence from Barnyard Buddies.  I inked up some Lawn Fawn cloud borders using my favorite Tumbled Glass distress inks and tucked my fence pieces in between.

For my next card I created another scene, this time focusing on the Chicken, eggs and baby chicks from the set...

For my last card today I thought it would be fun to color my horse with Copic Markers in princess colors and pair her with another fun set that I will be sharing later this week.  ;)  

To create my card I cut our Sun Ray Dies from masking paper and sponged on my rays using Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac distress ink, before going over the entire card with a light layer of spun sugar.  I then cut the center out using Tonic's Scalloped Circle dies to form my shaker window.

The shaker elements on this card were cut out from glitter cardstock using a free mini star trio die that will automatically ship with each order placed on our website starting on July 21st (while supplies last).

Here's a full look at the new 4x6 Barnyard Buddies and 2x3 Missing Ewe clear stamps and coordinating dies available for purchase on Friday morning.

Two Scoops Ice Cream Birthday Card with Melania Deasy

Hi all! It's Melania Deasy here.  Today I want to share my last card for Sunny Studio Stamps as a guest designer. Thank you so much Mendi for having me!  I'm so honored and have had so much fun playing with these amazing stamps!  For my last card I love how it turned out because the Two Scoops stamps are so fun and super cute!!!

To color the background I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and then splashed it with water using my paint brush.  The sentiment was then heat embossed using silver embossing powder.  I finished my card with some clear sequins and clear droplets as embellishments.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hugs,
Melania Deasy

Sun Ray Dies and Sunny Sentiments Sunshine Card Duo with Lynn Put

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

Hi there! I'm honored to be a guest designer and happy to be sharing some cards that I created using some fun Sunny Studio Stamps and dies! 

I created two cards using the adorable Sunny Studio's stamp set Sunny Sentiments along with the coordinating Sunshine Word Die and Sun Ray Die sets.

For my first card, I stamped one of the cute sunshine images from the set along with three of the cloud images onto white cardstock and colored them using Copic markers and then cut them out. Next I did some ink blending onto a panel of white cardstock using tumbled glass, mustard seed and spiced marmalade distress inks. 

After that, I blended the same yellow distress inks onto a piece of yellow cardstock and used the Sun Ray Die to die cut them out. I adhere my die cut sun rays onto my ink blended panel, making sure to leave room for my stamped sentiment. I added my clouds and sunshine images next, popping up the sun and one of the clouds using foam tape and then stamped my sentiment along with three yellow stars. 

I used the Sunshine Word Die and die cut that from black cardstock and adhered that below my stamped sentiment. I added a vertical strip of yellow cardstock to a white card base and added my decorated cardstock panel using foam tape. As a final touch, I used some icicle Stickles to the three stamped stars and some Wink of Stella glitter pen to my sun rays.

For my second card, I used a piece of watercolor paper and watercolored some yellow and orange for the area I knew I wanted my sunshine and some grays and dots of aqua for where I wanted my clouds and rain drops. I stamped the same sunshine and cloud images on to white cardstock again, coloring them with Copic markers and cutting them out. Then on a scrap piece of paper, I die cut one of the sun rays using the Sun Ray Dies and used it as a stencil, using mustard seed and marmalade distress inks, over the area I knew I was going to place my stamped sunshine image.  

Next I used the same yellow distress inks onto a piece of yellow cardstock and die cut my Sunshine Word and adhered it to my panel, then stamped my sentiment and rain drops and adhered my clouds and sunshine, popping up the sun and one cloud with foam tape. I used a white card base with a strip of yellow cardstock along the bottom and adhered my panel using foam tape. For some added detail, I used some Glossy Accents on the rain drops and did dots of yellow Stickles on the sun rays.
