Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Karin Åkesdotter

Hi Everyone! I'm Karin Åkesdotter from Peppermint Patty’s Papercraft, and I am so excited to be collaborating with Sunny Studio this month. I'm here today to share some cards I've made with Sunny’s wonderful Summer Release.

This first project is a super fun one. I just LOVE Mendi's clever box design Wrap Around Box die set that closes up like two hearts at the top, no strings or adhesive needed to close this box. And with the perfect panel die and cute little tags the possibilities for cute designs with this are endless. 

Here I used the fun cloud paper that come with the Summer Splash patterned paper pack and the adorable sloth is of course from the Silly Sloth set. My box is for a mini gift for my sister for her long flight to the Maldives later this year - it will hold a sleeping mask and earplugs so she'll sleep like a sloth there ;)

My next project is a CAS card, with a fast and easy design that looks like it was more work with lots of elements and texture. My favorite type of designs. Here I used the wonderful Frilly Frames Stripes dies for the panel and the stitched rectangle is from the Wrap Around Box dies and then simply stamped and die cut some of the images from the Silly Sloth set.

My last card for today showcases the super adorable Fabulous Flamingos set which holds lots of fun and sweet extra images to use for your summer/vacation cards. So much fun to color and play around with for different card designs. Here I die cut a window through which you can view the ocean - another wonderful paper from the Summer Splash patterned paper pack.

Slice Of Summer Cards with Rachel and Lexa

Hello! It's Rachel here and I'm sharing a card with you today featuring the new Slice of Summer Stamp Set. I love all of the layering stamps from Sunny Studio Stamps! Even my kids were pretty impressed with how realistic these watermelons looked.

To start, I first stamped my watermelons with various shades of red and green inks. Inks Used: Reds: Altenew Rouge, Altenew Crimson, Versafine Crimson Red; Greens: Altenew Parrot, Altenew Bamboo, Altenew Moss

I then used the coordinating dies to cut out my watermelon pieces and set them aside to work on my card base. I added a piece of both red and green patterned paper from the Classic Gingham Paper Pad and then added a small strip of dark green card stock to separate them.

I used the Fancy Frames Circle Dies to cut a centerpiece for my card from white card stock. Before adhering everything together, I heat embossed my sentiment onto the bottom portion of my card with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder. Lastly, I adhered my watermelon with both adhesive tape and 3D Foam Squares for some added dimension.

Thanks so much for dropping by! Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Hi everyone! Lexa here today to share a summer card using Slice of Summer Stamps and the coordinating dies. It creates the most juicy summer fruits layering stamp, they are honestly good enough to eat. You'll love it since it has offer you many choices of sentiments to match your projects. I have mine paired up with the older stamp set called Berry Bliss to add more fruits and colors.

I started my card with masking the card base using purple tape from TOW to create stripes. Then I blend Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick, Abandoned Coral and Squeezed Lemonade. I'm in love with the result the moment I peeled off the tapes. I stamped the images with various dye inks. Then I use the coordinating dies to cut them all. All the images are adhered both with glue and foam tapes to create some dimensions. To balance the layout, the fruits are arranged in horizontal line while the background is vertical. 

The bright colors absolutely scream summer, don't you think so? "Thank you" sentiment is from Everyday Greeting Stamps. It's stamped with Versafine black ink and I add transparent embossing powder to create shine. 

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

Fabulous Flamingos Cards with Anja and Vanessa

Hello everyone, Anja here and today I'm back with a love-themed card using the Fabulous Flamingos Stamps.

I started off with a lavender card base and cut out one of the new Summer Splash 6x6 Papers with a stitched rectangle die. I also die cut a circle window. For my romantic background, I blended together the Distress Oxide Inks Wilted Violet and Tattered Rose on a piece of Bristol cardstock. I also splattered on some ink with a paint brush.

Next, I stamped the images in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. I did some watercoloring with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens and cut the images out with the coordinating dies.

I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I adhered the images and popped up the flowers with foam squares. To finish my card, I added two tiny sequin hearts.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a flamazing day!

Hello! Vanessa here with a happy card using the adorable Fabulous Flamingos set. These flamingos are the cutest I've ever seen! I had so much fun with them.

I started with a panel of watercolor paper and stamped the leaves with green Distress Ink. Then I applied green watercolors and added ink droplets. After I had adhered the dried panel to the card, I die-cut the Fancy Frames Rectangle from green cardstock and adhered it. 

Now I stamped all the images onto white cardstock, colored them with Copics, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered everything to the card, raising some images with foam tape.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of pink cardstock, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, trimmed it and adhered it to the card.

These cuties make me smile, I hope it worked on you, too! Thanks for stopping by!

Silly Sloths Cards with Mona and Franci

Hi crafty friends! Its Mona here, today I am showing you a cute card with the new Silly Sloth stamp set. 

I started the card making with stamping and coloring. I stamped images with the Silly Sloths and Fabulous Flamingos stamp sets, then I colored them with Copic markers. When it was done I die-cut the images with the coordinating dies.

Next I created the background. I created a bright pink watercolor background then I made a circle die-cut with Fancy Frames Circle dies. I backed the circle window with rainbow patterned paper from the Surprise Party paper pack and styled and adhered the colored images to my card.

Next I heat embossed the sentiment to a black cardstock and my card was ready.

Thank you very much for reading through my post, I hope that you have enjoyed it and I have inspired you! If you like my creations let's be friends on Instagram. :)

Hi there and happy Wednesday! Franci here with you showcasing the new Silly Sloths set today.

These critters are sooo sweet, and all the sentiments included in this set will make you giggle for sure! I created my card base out of white cardstock and I masked the front to create this colorful background using Distress Inks. I also added some splatters with bright and sparkle watercolors and I let everything dry completely.

I stamped all the images, colored them with Copics (I love using super soft shades, even for these forest critters!) and die cut them with their coordinated dies. I glued the down with a combo of liquid glue and foam adhesive and I added some details with a white gel pen.

I stamped all my sentiment and finally added some sparkling clear sequins. Hope you like my card and thank you so much for stopping by today!

Sweater Vest Dies Cards with Angelica and Juliana

Hi friends, Angelica here with a fun Father's Day project. Can you believe we're getting towards that time of the year?? I am in a family of avid Football fans, so I thought it would be fun to incorporate the colors of my husband's and my father-in-law's favorite football teams into these Sweater Vest cards.

How cute are these Sweater Vest Dies?!! I used pattern papers from the Classic Gingham Paper Pack for the sweaters, the red representing my father-in-law's Buffalo Bills team, and the blue representing my husband's (and Mine!) Seattle Seahawks team. I die-cut the trimmings out of card stock in the secondary team colors.

To turn these sweaters into cards, I die-cut four more sweater bases out of white card stock. I used double-sided adhesive to adhere the completed sweaters to two of the white bases to make them card fronts. 

The other two bases I stamped Happy Father's Day using words from the Happy Thoughts stamp set, then added score lines 3/4 inches from the top of each base. I added strong adhesive above the score lines, then attached the card fronts to them.

I LOVE how these sweaters turned out. I can't wait to get started on Christmas cards with this die set! I hope I have given you ideas about sweater cards. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Friends, it's Juliana here and I'm excited to be sharing how to add extra texture and interest to your card today using the Sunny Studio Stamps Sweater Vest Die Set, and embossing folder and flocking.

Because I wanted the texture to be the main focus for the card, I went clean and simple and only used dies to create my card front. To add the texture, I used a new product called DecoFoil Flock Transfer Sheets by Therm O Web. This fun new product allows you to easily add flocking to your paper crafting and card making projects for a fun fuzzy effect. And even better, I love that you can do it without all the mess that previous flocking powders caused.

I began by taking a piece of iCraft Easy Cut Adhesive Sheets and peeled off the liner on one side. I then adhered this to a piece of white cardstock. (I've found the cardstock to be helpful when using this adhesive to give your project a bit of stability as you apply the flocking.)  Next, I took this piece and die cut all of the elements for my card using the Sweater Vest Die Set making sure to cut with the liner side up. Once the die cutting was complete, I took DecoFoil Flock in various colors and adhered them to the die cut pieces. Make sure during this step that you adhere the fuzzy flocked side to the adhesive. You are then going to run each piece through your die cutting machine to press the flock into the adhesive for permanent adhesion.

After I had flocked all the things, I wanted to take things a step further by adding even more texture. I adhered the diamond shaped die cuts to the main sweater vest image and then placed this piece inside the Cable Knit Embossing Folder. I then ran this entire piece through my die cutting machine to emboss the design right into the flock. Isn't it fabulous?! And in real life, the soft fuzziness of the flock is the perfect thing for this adorable sweater vest.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed learning how to add texture and interest to your die cuts using flocking combined with the Sweater Vest Die Set. Imagine the possibilities with the other fun Sunny Studio Stamps dies!
