Designers Choice Cards with Rachel and Candice

Hello crafty friends! Rachel here with a slimline card featuring the Savanna Safari Stamp Set

Sunny Studio Stamps: Savanna Safari Sunny Sentiment Dies Everyday Card by Rachel Alvarado

To start my card, I stamped all of my images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and set them aside to work on my background.

Copic Colors Used: Elephant: C00, C0, C2, C4 Lion Light Fur: E50, E53, E55 Lion Dark Fur: E55, E57, E59 Giraffe: E40, E41, E43, E44, E33, E37, E29 Hippo: V000, V01, V12, V15, V09 Zebra: W00, W0, W2, W4, W6, W8

For my background, I blended some Distress Oxide Inks (Black Soot, Wilted Violet, Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry, and Worn Lipstick) onto a 3.5" x 8.5" piece of smooth white card stock. I then lightly splattered this blended piece with water and blotted it dry with a paper towel. I used my MISTI and black ink to stamp some tree and leaf silhouettes. 

Next, I die cut some grass from black cardstock using the Sunny Sentiments Die by running it through my machine twice to create a longer length. I then heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder and adhered my images with 3D Foam Adhesive Tape for added dimension.

Thanks so much for dropping by! Have a great weekend!

Hi! Candice with you today wishing you a fabulous Friday! Today I am sharing a fun card using the adorable sloths as they hang out in their trees!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Silly Sloths Tropical Scenes Birthday Card by Candice Fisher

I used these Sunny Studio products to create my scene:
I began with an 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 card base that fits perfectly into your standard size envelopes.
For the background, I trimmed a piece of Bristol Smooth a little smaller than my card base and inked with abandoned coral, dried marigold & squeezed lemonade oxide inks.

Next, I stamped the sloths, leaves, flowers and vines, colored them with Zig clean brush markers, and used the coordinating dies listed above to cut them out. I adhered them with glue or foam tape to add a bit of dimension. I then heat embossed the sentiments on strips of black cardstock in matching colors and adhered to the side with foam tape. To finish, I added a few black Nuvo drops to draw your eye down the card.

Thank you so much for visiting!

Designers Choice Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here again today with a very yellow card using various yummy stamps sets. I've been dreaming of eating Granita di Limone in Sicily lately, so a lemon themed card happened:

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sweet Word Die Summer Sweets Fresh & Fruity Tropical Paradise Summer Themed Birthday Card by Vanessa Menhorn

I first inked my white cardstock panel with turquoise Distress Ink and added ink droplets before adhering the piece to the card. Now I stamped all the images, colored them with Copics, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered the pieces to the card, popping-up some with foam tape.

Now I die-cut the Sweet Word Die from white cardstock, colored it with Copics and adhered it. Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder and adhered it to the card.

Hi everyone, Anja here today with a new inspiration project. When I saw the sweet elephant included in the Savanna Safari set, I knew I wanted to switch things up a bit and create a CAS slimline baby card. I went with a monochromatic pink and purple color scheme to welcome a little baby girl.

I stamped the elephant three times in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink onto polka dot patterned paper from the Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper pack. I cut them out with the coordinating die and added white details to the eyes and the feet with a gelly roll pen.

For the ground, I masked off two thirds of some Bristol cardstock and blended on the Distress Oxide Inks Milled Lavender and Dusty Concord. I let it dry completely and stamped the sentiment from the Coastal Cuties set in VersaMark Ink. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

Finally, I adhered the Bristol cardstock panel to a purple card base, popped up the elephants with foam tape and added matching Pink & Purple Heart Confetti clay embellishments.

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

Designers Choice Cards with Tammy and Ana

Hi friends! Tammy here sharing this fun under the sea card. I LOVE underwater themed cards, so I combined some of my favorites, Best Fishes and Sea You Soon to create today's card.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Best Fishes Sea You Soon Stitched Arch Dies Woodland Border Dies Summer Themed Card by Tammy Stark

To begin, I cut a rectangle from the Summer Splash Paper. I then cut out a window using the largest die from the Stitched Arch Dies. Next, I created my background by ink blending Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers, and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. I splattered some water droplets onto my background and blotted up to create some interest to the water. I created the sandy border by cutting a piece of Bristol cardstock with the Woodlands Borders Die, ink blending with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks, and attached to my inked background. Next, I adhered my wave patterned paper over my background, using foam tape for dimension.

I stamped, colored with Copic markers, and cut out the images from the following sets: Best FishesCoordinating Dies, Beach BabiesCoordinating Dies, Sea You SoonCoordinating Dies

Sunny Studio Stamps: Best Fishes Sea You Soon Stitched Arch Dies Woodland Border Dies Summer Themed Card by Tammy Stark

I arranged my under the sea critters onto my card and attached some with foam tape for dimension and stamped the sentiment from Best Fishes along the bottom of my card with black ink. To complete my card, I added some Sparkling Clear Crystals to create some bubbles. Finally, I attached my completed card front to a white A2 card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by...SEA you next time! ;)

Hello crafty friends! It’s Ana today with a super sweet birthday card featuring Silly Sloths stamps and diesComic Strips Everyday dies as well as Happy word die and Flirty Flowers paper pack.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Silly Sloths Comic Strip Everyday Dies Happy Word Die Birthday Card by Ana Anderson

I started with die cutting green floral paper (from Flirty paper pack) with Comic Strip Everyday dies, then die cut another frame/background from white cardstock. I die cut the word happy 4 times out of white cardstock, layered them, then inked the sentiment and the background with Salty Ocean and Twisted Citron distress inks. I white heat embossed the word birthday on a piece of black cardstock, then trimmed the strip.

I stamped the sloths and foliage with Memento Tuxedo black ink, colored them with Copic markers, cut them with coordinating dies then started assembling the card. I popped the frame with thin strips of foam tape, then inserted inked background pieces.

Designers Choice Cards with Leanne and Vanessa

Hi everyone, Leanne here! I have a pretty summer themed card to share today along with some tips for getting the best results with layering stamps. I'm sure we all can agree that Sunny Studio has some beautiful layering stamp sets. The card I'm sharing showcases the one of the newest layering sets called Radiant Plumeria.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Radiant Plumeria Summer Themed Card by Leanne Wes

Over the years I've tried out many different kinds of white card stock to stamp on. When using solid image stamps, I think it's very important to use a good quality card stock. When I'm stamping layered images, I always use Papertrey Ink's Stamper's Select white card stock. It's a 110 lb. weight bright white card stock which absorbs the ink evenly for a beautiful stamped image every time.  

Another important tip I have for getting nice crisp stamped images, is taking a white eraser and rubbing it over the the stamp before apply any ink. This is really helpful with new stamps. The eraser will rub off any residue and reduces the slickness of the stamp's surface which results in better ink coverage over the stamp. Rubbing the eraser over the stamp before inking has always helped me to get a clean solid image with just one application of ink. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Radiant Plumeria Summer Themed Card by Leanne Wes

When using highly detailed layering stamps like the ones in the Radiant Plumeria set, my next tip is an absolute must! After stamping each layer, use a heat gun to dry the ink. As you can see on my card, the long skinny leaves have some very fine vein detail. I used just two stamp layers to get that detail. I stamped the first solid layer and then hit it with my heat gun to dry the ink. Then when I stamped the second layer, that image didn't get absorbed into the first quite so much and the vein detail is much more visible. I used this same trick for stamping all the flowers which have many layers.  

I hope you'll find these tips to be useful when creating with Sunny Studio's fun layering stamps. Until next time, happy stamping!

Hello to you! Vanessa here today with a summer-themed hello card using Sealiously Sweet. These cuties are enjoying a relaxing day at the beach:

Sunny Studio Stamps: Sealiously Sweet Tropical Scenes Hello Word Die Everyday Card by Vanessa Menhorn

I first inked my white cardstock panel with turquoise and yellow Distress Inks and stamped the waves from Tropical Scenes. Then I die-cut some of the waves with the matching dies and adhered the panel to the card. I die-cut the island from cardstock, inked it with Distress Inks, applied ink droplets, adhered the piece and trimmed off the edge. Now I stamped all the images, colored them with Copics, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered the pieces to the card, raising some with foam tape.

Finally, I die-cut the Hello Word Die from white cardstock, inked it with turquoise Distress Ink and adhered it to the card. These tiny wave dies are genius! I loved tucking the images in. 

Here are all the sets I used for today's card:
Tropical Scenes and matching dies (island, waves)
Sealiously Sweet and matching dies (seals, ball)
Seasonal Trees and matching dies (palm tree)

Thanks for stopping by! See you again on Thursday!
