Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Francine Vuilleme

Hi everyone! Francine Vuillème from 1001 CARTES here! I’m so happy to guest for Sunny Studio Stamps again this year! Many thanks to Mendi for inviting me. Today, I have two cards for you featuring the newest Spring collection. Here is what I came up with: 

For the first card, I chose to showcase the newest Sparkle word die and the Born To Sparkle stamp set. They can be combined with cute images but also used as stand-alone sentiments on a simple background. They are so versatile! I went for a colorful galaxy background using rainbow colors (as very often lol). I used watercolor paper and Winsor & Newton watercolors. Once it was dry, I splattered white ink over the panel to create the stars. I heat embossed the bigger stars with white embossing powder using the sparkly element stamps from the set. I adhered the panel to a top-folded card base created with black cardstock. I die cut the "sparkle" word and heat embossed it using golden embossing powder and fixed it to the card front using foam pads. I stamped the sentiment from the Born To Sparkle set to white cardstock, cut it and fixed it to the panel with foam pads too.   

For the second card, I used the Team Player stamp set. I think that this set is AMAZING. I don’t have many sets featuring sports stamps so this is a must-have for me! I wanted to feature the beautiful cup image. I went for a clean and simple design. I created a background using a sunburst stencil. I sponged it with black Distress ink and added tiny black and white dots to create a sparkle effect. I stamped, colored and cut the cup. I adhered the image to the stenciled background and added a stamped sentiment from the set.

That’s all for me! I hope you enjoyed this post! Thanks so much for stopping by and happy crafting!

Bold Balloons Framed Birthday Celebration Card with Lexa

Hi everybody! How is your day? Lexa here with a card featuring the Bold Balloons stamp set and it's coordinating dies. This layering stamps from Sunny Studio has become so popular among crafters. Have you tried it yourself? Because I'm in looove with this technique. It's super easy and saves a lot of time, plus they turn out so gorgeous.

I started my card with a piece of 4.25"x4.25" because I wanted to use the brand new Fancy Frames Square Dies for this card. The balloons are hand stamped with some dye inks in blue, green and purple. First I stamped the blue one, and then I masked the balloon each time as I stamped the other ones. I choose the cooler color tone for this card, that's why I also used some grey for the frame, balloon's strings and the sparkles behind the balloons. They come from  Born To Sparkle stamp set, what a cool effect for background! 

Some confetti are also stamped with the same darker dye inks as the balloons add more festive feel to this card. Last but not least, I stamp the sentiment on top of the card and finished it with the grey fancy frame adhered with foam tapes.

Thank you so much for visiting the blog today. I hope you enjoy today's post and get inspired. Have a wonderful day to you and your loved ones!

Tiny Dancers Pretty Purple Happy Birthday Ballerina Card with Vanessa

Hello everyone! Vanessa here with a card using Tiny Dancers. I was so glad when I got this adorable set, having a little ballerina at home! Here comes my first card playing with this set.

I first inked the middle portion of my card front with purple ink and added ink splatters. Now I die-cut my circle frame using the Fancy Frames Circle dies and adhered it with foam tape. I stamped all the images, colored them with Copics, die-cut them with the coordinating dies and adhered them, using foam tape to pop up the dancer.

Then I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment onto a strip of purple cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it to the card. Finally, I added matching sequins.

I hope you like this dancer as much as I do! I know this cute set will be used often in our home! Thank you for stopping by!

Cascading Hearts Mini Circle Home Tweet Home Card with Franci

Hi there! Franci here with you today with a mini shaped card featuring the new Cascading Hearts stamp set and lots more!

First I die cut my circle and created a coordinated card base. Then I sponged some distress ink to create my sky and put it aside to dry. I stamped some images from the A Bird's Life stamp set and a little kitty from the new Purrfect Birthday stamp set with a black Copic friendly ink. I colored them with Copics and die cut them with the coordinating A Bird's Life dies and Purrfect Birthday dies.

I stamped my background with a soft blue ink, love the effect in real life ... those hearts are so precious! I glued down all the elements and stamped the sentiment with the same black ink used before. Finally, I added some sequins and some details with a white gel pen and the Wink of Stella clear. 

Hope you like it! I love creating mini cards so much. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Team Player Baseball Themed Birthday Card with Nancy

Happy Tuesday Sunny fans! Nancy here today with a sports themed card for all of your ball playing fanatics. The Team Player stamp set includes so many versatile images for a range of sports. I love how the trophy can be customized for coaches' cards and even for Father's Day. I created a baseball themed birthday card for a special little boy in my life.

The bold background was created with an ink blending technique using Distress Oxide Inks in Candied Apple and Salty Ocean. The stamped images were colored with Copic Markers for a bold punch of color. The trophy was popped up with foam tape for a bit of lift. The sentiment was stamped in red and black underlining the images.

Keep the Team Player stamp set in mind the next time you think of the sports fan in your life! Football, soccer, basketball, baseball and volleyball are all included along with a huge selection of custom sentiments.

Breakfast Puns Better Together Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I'll be using the brand new Breakfast Puns stamp set along with the Fancy Frames Squares to create a simple love themed card.

To begin my card I first stamped my images out from the Breakfast Puns stamp set with some black ink, then Copic coloured all my images in. I had an absolute blast colouring these little breakfast foods/drinks in, they were so much fun! Once I coloured them all in, I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. Next, I took a frame from the Fancy Frames Square die set, which is an exclusive die set to the Sunny Studio Stamps store so make sure you pick it up - it's amazing! And I cut out four frames from some white cardstock. I then cut four squares out also to fit underneath the square frames also.

Next up, I coloured each of the four squares with some Twisted Citron Distress Ink and splattered each with a bit of water. Then adhered the frame on top of each square using foam tape. Next, I arranged all four squares onto my card base and decided that I wanted to make them adhered in a diamond shape on the panel, so I went ahead and adhered them down in a diamond pattern. Then I adhered on all my little characters with some more foam tape, joining them in pairs. I didn't necessarily adhere them in pairs that they were supposed to go with, some I just liked better together. 

Once they were all adhered down, I stamped the sentiment 'We're Butter Together' onto a green strip of cardstock, but replaced the u with the e so it reads 'We're Better Together' since it made more sense with all the images I used. Lastly, I adhered my panel onto a blue card base and my card was complete.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I'm loving the new release and I hope you are too!
