Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Karin Akesdotter

Hi everyone! I'm Karin Åkesdotter from Peppermint Patty’s Papercraft and I am so excited to be here to share some cards that I've created using the new Sunny Studio stamps. 

For my first card I started by making a card base from white cardstock and then cut a scalloped panel using the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace dies. Next I die cut the beautiful "quilt" pattern through a rectangle piece of white cardstock, which I then adhered to the center of my card. This made a beautiful, textured background for the wonderful Pink Peonies. 

The peonies were first stamped in Antique Linen Distress ink, then colored with Copic markers before re-stamping and embossing the flowers again with gold embossing. I then made a little flag - with an embossed sentiment from Love Monkey and the Wishes Word die.  

My second card was made in a very similar way, I just used dark colored cardstock instead to get a totally different look. So many possibilities with these wonderful sets!

My last card is a fun and simple design where I stamped a row of adorable chicks, using the Chickie Baby stamp set. I then masked them off and inked the background with Distress ink. Before removing the masking I spattered the background with gold watercolor from Daniel Smith.

Thank you so much for joining me here today!

Spring Scenes Cards with Juliana and Candice

Hello friends! It's Juliana here and today I'll be sharing a card featuring the Spring Scenes Stamp Set. I couldn't resist combining it with the Spring Showers Stamp Set to create a spring themed card.

I began by stamping and coloring all the images from the Spring Scenes Stamp Set and Spring Showers Stamp Set with Copic Markers. I also added a tree image from the Seasonal Tree Stamp Set. I then die cut them using the coordinating dies and began arranging them to create a cute spring theme.

For the background, I ink blended a piece of White Bristol Paper with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide. I then adhered the scene and added some stamped and die cut clouds. As I added the clouds, I made sure to leave room for the sentiment which is from the Spring Showers Stamp Set. For the final touch, I added some strips of patterned paper from the Spring Sunburst Paper.

I hope you enjoyed this bit of spring inspiration using the Spring Scenes Stamp Set. Isn't it great how wonderfully it coordinates with so many of the stamps from the spring release? Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hello, Candice with you today with this sweet little story on my slimline card using the awesome new Spring Scenes stamps to create the backgrounds for each scene!

I used two sets from the new release:

• Spring Scenes stamps & coordinating dies
• Enchanted stamps & coordinating dies
• Studio Katia Crystal Clear Fusion Sequins

I began by creating an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base which is the perfect size for your standard envelopes. I first stamped all the images from Spring Scenes & Enchanted stamp sets, colored them with copic markers, and used the coordinating dies listed above to cut them out. I then created three banners using the sentiments from the Enchanted set and heat embossed them in gold.

Before adhering each scene, I lined them up and inked lightly with tumbled glass for the sky and then glued the backgrounds down and used foam tape to add dimension to the front images. I kept the embellishments simple by adding a few sequins to let the story be the center of attention on my card.

Thank you for stopping by!
