Guest Designer Spotlight: Sealiously Sweet Cards with Nicky Meek

Hey everyone, it's Nicky Meek here with you. Today I'm happily guest designing for Sunny Studio Stamps again and I'm featuring the stamp set Sealiously Sweet from their most recent release. I have two cards today so keep on scrolling!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sealiously Sweet Tropical Scenes Summer Themed Cards by Nicky Meek

This first card features and ink blended and 'bubble' stenciled background. Layered over the top is the coral seabed image from Tropical Scenes which I stamped and Copic coloured in vivid hues then die cut with the coordinating dies, backed with foam tape and applied to the background.

The adorable seals were also stamped and Copic coloured and similarly applied with points highlighted with a white gel pen.

To finish out the card I applied see thru jewels for more bubbles and I stamped the sentiments and arranged them at playful angles backed with dimensional tape.

My second card is a shaker card and uses the new Sealiously Sweet set and the Stitched Semi-Circles die set. An opening was made in white panel using the largest die and the panel backed with acetate. A background panel was ink blended in yellows and blues and applied to a card base. I pooled a mix of sparkling sequins, beads and other shaker contents from my stash on the background. I applied tape around the back of the shaker window and applied it down on to the card base sealing in the contents.

On Copic friendly paper the seals were stamped and Copic coloured then die cut and applied directly to the scene. A few points were highlighted with a white gel pen.

To finish up the card I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a strip of cardstock and applied it backed with foam tape and then a few sparkling clear sequins were applied on top of the shaker window.

I hope you've enjoyed my cards today and take away a little inspiration for your own projects. Thank you for coming by to read!

Potted Rose Cards with Candice and Rachel

Candice with you today and it is the exciting time of a whole new release over at Sunny Studio Stamps and I am kicking it off with the new layered stamp set, Potted Rose!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Potted Rose Frilly Frame Dies Stitched Arch Dies Friendship Card by Candice Fisher

I used a few new release products for my card:
I began the card with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base perfect for your standard size envelopes. For the background, I first die cut the three stitched arches and then inked the inside pieces with broken china and tumbled glass. I created my own stencil by die cutting a piece of thick cardstock from the new herringbone die. I taped off and worked in sections inking with tea dye and antique linen to give it a Tuscan feel.

Next, I stamped the layered roses in rainbow colors using oxide inks and 4 of the 6 layers and then die cut out using the coordinating dies. Then I stamped the pots using the 3 layers in some Close to My Heart inks and used the coordinating dies to cut out and trimmed the bottoms.

To add the roses to the pots, I simply used my paper trimmer and cut slits in the dirt and tucked the roses in. I used foam tape to pop them in the windows. I do love the effect it gives! To finish, I stamped the hello in versafine black and fussy cut out and then stamped the friend on Kraft cardstock and trimmed into a banner. I also adhered this with foam tape and added some Rainbow Pearls for a bit of shine.

Thank you for visiting with me today!

Hello crafty friends, Rachel here! I hope you have been enjoying all of the amazing new stamps and dies that have just been released! My card today showcases the new Potted Rose Stamp Set. I love how these layering stamps allow you to achieve so much detail from just stamping.

To start, I stamped a few roses from this set using some pink inks (Ballet Slipper, Sparkling Rose, Bubble Gum, and Raspberry Bliss) from Pinkfresh Studio. I also stamped a few darker roses from the Everything's Rosy Stamp Set using some pink inks (Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious, Rubellite, and Razzleberry) from Altenew. I used the coordinating Potted Rose and Everything's Rosy dies to cut everything out.

I also used some orange Pinkfresh Studio Inks to stamp my pot (Peach Fuzz, Apricot, and Clementine) as well as some green inks (Fresh Pear, Grassy Knoll, and Key Lime) for my leaves. For my background, I die cut some white card stock using the new Frilly Frames Herringbone Die Set and blended some Catherine Pooler Garden Party Ink onto my base prior to adhering my die cut panel with liquid adhesive. 

I used Memento Tuxedo Black Ink to stamp my sentiment and then adhered my pot and roses to my card front using some subtle 3D Foam Adhesive Squares. Voila! Super easy and perfect for quick, yet elegant cards.

Thank you all for dropping by today! Wishing you a safe and wonderful weekend!
