Feeling Froggy Cards with Ashley and Mayra

Hi friends! It's Ashley with a super cute pond scene today featuring the new Feeling Froggy mini set! I am so hoppy to share my card with you!

I started by creating a cloud stencil using the Slimline Nature Borders dies. I used my stencil to ink blend a cloudy sky with Pinkfresh Studio Summer Shower ink. I used another Slimline Nature Border with some green cardstock to create grass and adhered the two pieces together. I then ran them through my die cut machine with the frame from Frilly Frames Lattice to add the scalloped border.

I stamped the pond scene from Country Scenes onto Copic friendly paper with Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored with Copics. I used the matching die to cut it out, then used the Frilly Frames Lattice die again to add the border. I added the pond scene to the other die cut pieces, then adhered the whole thing to an A2 sized piece of blue stripe paper from the Dots & Stripes Pastels paper pack. 

I stamped the frog and dragonfly from Feeling Froggy and several lily pads and cattails from Country Scenes in Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink and colored with Copics. I cut everything out with the matching dies and added them to my card, popping the frog and dragonflies up with foam tape for dimension. I finished with a sentiment from Feeling Froggy stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

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

Hello everyone. Happy Monday!!  Mayra here with you today. I am sharing a card using the very cute new Feeling Froggy stamp set. I also used the lovely new Garden Fairy stamp set to create the scene for the little froggy. Along with the Dots & Stripes Pastels paper pad. 

I began by coloring all of the images I would be using from the sets using Copic markers. I also used the pretty images from the Country Scenes stamp set. I then used the largest stitched circle from the Stitched Circle Large dies set, the grass and hills borders from the Slimline Nature Borders dies set, and the stitched rectangle from the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil dies set.

Copics Used: Purple: B60, V20, BV11, V04, and V06; Green: YG01, YG25, YG17, and G29

I used Distress Oxide Inks to add colors to each of the layers. Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink to add color to the water areas. I used Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness for the grass areas. For the sky, Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord, and Wilted Violet. 

I hope you enjoy the card I created to share with you today. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I hope you each have a wonderful and blessed day.

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Nicky Meeks

Hi everyone, Nicky Meeks here! I'm back to guesting for Sunny Studio Stamps today and I have two cards for you using their most recent release. I'm working with Balloon Rides and Country Scenes today.

To create this card I first softly ink blended a background panel and then used a little more ink diluted with a drop of water to loosely splatter the background.

Images from the super sweet Balloon Rides stamp set were stamped on to Copic friendly cardstock using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa. I used Copic markers to colour all of my images and a white gel pen to highlight certain points.

These images were then die cut using the coordinating dies and arranged into the scene on the background either directly adhering with glue or for some lovely dimension I used foam tape.

To finish up the card I took a strip of black cardstock and stamped the sentiment with Versamark Ink and heat embossed in white. This sentiment was also applied with foam tape further adding to the layered look.

Moving swiftly on to my second card today and here I am using the other cute critters from the Balloon Rides stamp set together with the clouds and I've combined them with the new Country Scenes stamp and die set.

To create this card I stamped the Country Scenes image on to a white A2 panel that was Copic friendly. I then stamped it again on some scrap paper and I fussy cut the top edge of that second stamping and created a mask which I lay over the original stamping and I held it down whilst I used a Clarity Stencil Brush to brush on some sup soft Distress Inks in pink and blue. The mask was then discarded and I used Copic markers to colour the mountains and trees and create shadows and crevices with some shading.

I used Versamark Ink to stamp the stars and the sentiment from Balloon Rides and I heat embossed in silver so this card catches the light beautifully when it is handled.

I die cut my panel to give the faux stitched edge and then I already had my critters and cloud stamped and coloured and die cut and so I just arranged them into the scene using dimensional foam tape. Cheeks and other points were highlighted with the white gel pen again and the panel attached to a card base.

I hope I've inspired you today, thank you for stopping by and happy crafting!

Captivating Camellias Cards with Candice and Kay

Hello and Happy New Year! Candice back with you this Friday to kick off sharing with you the new amazing release from Sunny Studio stamps!

I used this mix of new and older sunny studio products:

• Captivating Camellias stamps & coordinating dies
• Scalloped Circle Mat 1 dies
• Stitched Circle Small dies
• Slimline Scalloped Frame dies (thank you)
• Frilly Frames Quatrefoil dies
• Classic Sunburst 6x6 paper pad
• White Pearls

For the background, I die cut the intricate panel using the Quatrefoil dies from thick white cardstock and glued to the center of my card front.

I then created the clear circle shaker by first die cutting the purple pattern paper from the scalloped circle and a smaller stitched circle to create my thin frame. I also cut two acetate pieces, one from the scalloped and one from the stitched circle dies. I adhered the stitched acetate piece behind my pattern paper frame and added a double layer of foam tape around the outside. To finish the shaker, I added lots of different colors of purple sequins and closed it onto the scalloped acetate making sure to line up to seal the shaker.

Next, I stamped the flowers and leaves using a variety of purple and grey inks, cut them out with the coordinating dies and arranged them with foam tape around the circle shaker. I finished my card by adding a layered thank you onto the circle shaker and a few white pearls to draw your eye in!

Thank you for visiting today!

Hi friends! Kay here and I have a card to share with you today featuring one of the brand new stamp sets from the January release called Captivating Camellias. It's such a pretty set, and the layered stamping really makes these flowers pop! 

For my background, I diluted some Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet Distress inks and brushed them across the paper lightly with a large watercolor brush. I then speckled with the same colors of ink. The pink flowers were stamped with for shades of ink from Pinkfresh, Ballet Slipper, Sparkling Rose, Bubble Gum and Raspberry Bliss. The purple flowers were stamped with Soft Lilac, Candy Violet, Lavender and Regal Kiss also from Pinkfresh.  The leaves were stamped with Fresh Pear and Evergreen from Pinkfresh, and Artichoke from Lawn Fawn. 

After all of the stamping was done I cut them out with the coordinating dies and added them to my card with foam tape. The Happy Mother's Day sentiment is included in the Captivating Camellias stamp set and it was stamped with black ink. 

I hope you have enjoyed my card today! Thank you for stopping by!

Garden Fairy Cards with Vanessa and Anja

Hello to you! Vanessa here with my first card using the wonderful new release, starting with Garden Fairy today. I love this set so much! Here is my take:

I've been loving the look of layered vellum over backgrounds to create more depth. But I didn't like to fumble with vellum to adhere it without showing adhesive. So I thought about alternatives and came up with an easy solution creating my desired look! For this, I just stamped the mushroom house onto my white cardstock panel and colored it with Copic markers. Now I inked the background with Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Inks, covering the image, too. This is all. I guess it won't work with all colors, but light ones will work well. Maybe creating a night landscape with a dark blue one will look good - I'll try various versions and we'll see how it turns out. Let me know if you use this technique!

Stamps and dies used today:
Garden Fairy stamps + dies (images, sentiment)
Slimline Nature Borders Dies (grassy edge, scalloped edge)
Rustic Winter Dies (tree trunks)

I inked a panel of white cardstock with Cracked Pistachio, added ink droplets and die-cut the grassy edges and the scalloped edge. Then I die-cut the tree trunks and adhered the die-cut pieces to the panel. After I had stamped the sentiment, I adhered the panel to the card. Finally, I stamped the images, colored them with Copic markers, die-cut everything with the matching dies and adhered the elements to the card with foam tape.

This wonderful stamp set will for sure be one of my new favorites. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next week!

Hello everyone, Anja here and today I'm excited to share my first project using some beautiful stamps from the new Spring release. Today I'm kicking it off with the sweet Garden Fairy Stamps.

I started off with an ink blended background in vibrant blue, teal and green tones. Therefore I used the Distress Oxides Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers, Broken China, Cracked Pistachio, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness. I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and white heat embossed it.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out.

To frame my little garden scene, I die cut the scalloped mat included in the Frilly Frames Stripes Dies set from white cardstock and also cut out a rectangle. I popped up the frame with foam tape strips and adhered the images.

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

Stitched Circle Die Focused Cards and Video Tutorial with Franci and Julia

Hi there and happy Wednesday! It's Franci here with you today, with a super cute rocking mini rainbow card. Aww look how cute is this!! 

I combined lots of new products here: the Stitched Circle Large dies, the Scalloped Circle Mat 1 set and the Feeling Froggy mini set.

First of all I die cut a stitched circle out of some rainbow patterned paper from the Rainbow Bright 6x6 paper set and a scalloped one out of white cardstock. I inked the center of my scalloped circle with some blue distress ink and then I moved on to my images.

I added some older images to my little scene here, as some clouds from the Spring Showers set and the sentiment banner from the Banner Basics set. I stamped them all on white cardstock, then colored them with Copics and cut them out with their coordinated dies. 

I folded my rainbow circle in half and I assembled my scene/ card by securing everything down with a combo of liquid glue and foam tape. The secret here is to make sure to glue the scalloped circle just onto one of the half circle we created by folding the rainbow circle. That's why I attached some elements with acetate stripes, cause they were hanging off the scalloped circle, on the top.

This mini card is so cute and it's so much fun in real life by being interactive! As you can see it does fit completely flat on a standard size envelope so it's also easy to mail, a plus! Hope you are now inspired to create and thanks a lot for stopping by!

Hey crafty friends! I hope you are doing well! It's Julia here with a card featuring the new Stitched Circle Large dies and the Stitched Circle Small dies.

I absolutely love the versatility of basic dies, so I decided to use the circles to create an interactive inside tunnel card - and a little rainbow, too!

I paired the circles with the super adorable Garden Fairy stamp set, the Scalloped Circle Mats 3, Loopy Letters and Slimline Nature Borders dies to create two cute little scenes!
