Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Mona Toth

Hi crafty friends! It's Mona here and I am super excited to be a guest on the Sunny Studio Stamp blog. Today I am showing you two vintage inspired cards!

For my first card I started the card making with creating the background. I just inked up the Buffalo Plaid Embossing Folder with watermark ink, and run it through my die-cut machine with a piece of soft pink cardstock. Then I just sprinkled gold embossing powder on it and heat embossed it with my heat gun. The result is a golden plaid cardstock with texture in distress look.

After this I die-cut a bunch of leaves from various cardstocks with the Winter Greenery dies, and splattered on it with white and gold watercolor to add them a bit texture. Next, I stamp layered some pumpkins and leaves with Crisp Autumn stamps in yellow and teal colors. When the stamp layering was done, I Die-cut the images with their coordinating dies.

The next step was the wreath. I styled the die-cuts and the stamped images onto a big fluffy wreath and fixed it with liquid and 3D adhesives.  When it was done, I stamped the sentiment with the Beautiful Autumn stamps stamp set and watermark ink then I heat embossed it on a piece of vellum. After this I just backed the card front with a piece of craft cardstock and my fall vintage card was ready.

For the base of my second card, I have used the same embossing folder with the soft pink cardstock, but instead of the watermark ink, I inked it up with pink inkpad.  

Next, I splattered on it with gold and white watercolors and let it air dry. I have created die-cuts with the Winter Greenery Dies, the Lacy Snowflake Dies as well as the Thank You Words Dies and styled the patterned paper looking design.

In the end I just put my card together with liquid and 3D foam adhesives, to add more dimension to my card. 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. :)

Chloe Number Die Focused Cards with Tammy and Audrey

Hello! Tammy here sharing a fun set of Christmas tags, featuring the new Chloe Number dies and the adorable new stamp set, Christmas Critters. This set may be my new favorite, and combined with the Chloe Number dies, it's a fun way to make a custom keepsake tag!

To begin, I stamped the images from the Christmas Critters stamps, colored with Copic markers, and then die cut with the coordinating dies. 

Copic Colors Used:
Cat: YR24, YR21, YR31, YR30, R20, R00
Dog: E29, E25, E23, E31, E50, N6, R20, R00
Red: R39, R27, R24, R14
Greens: YG67, YG17, G14, YG23, YG03

Next, I created the tag using the Slimline Pennant dies. Using the middle sized pennant, I cut 2 tag bases from the plaid paper using the brand new All Is Bright 6X6 paper. I then used the smaller pennant die and cut 2 tags from Bristol smooth cardstock, then lightly inked the background with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink. I spattered a bit of Kitsch Flamingo ink onto the background for a bit of interest, then layered them onto the plaid background and cut the edges off to shorten the length of the tag.

I cut the red numbers from the All Is Bright 6X6 paper using the Chloe Number dies and adhered to the tag, attaching the critters with the ornaments for the 0 with foam tape for dimension. I stamped the punny sentiments from Christmas Critters in black ink and added a couple of white Lacy Snowflakes to finish up my tags. Lastly, I punched a hole and strung some red and white bakers twine to complete my project!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a sunny day, friends!

Hello friends! Audrey here with a birthday card to share with you! I love personalized cards. The recipient knows that it was made especially for them. My card today is an 18th birthday card for my shark-loving son. He has always had a fascination with sharks and ocean life since he was a little boy, and the majority of his birthday cards have been ocean themed. 

I was able the really personalize his card this year to celebrate his milestone birthday with the new Chloe Number dies! To create my card, I started off with a piece of mint green cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25". I ink blended the edges with Distress Oxide inks in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, and Chipped Sapphire. Then, I splattered on some clean water, teal watercolor and watered down white acrylic paint for added interest. I stamped and colored images from the Best Fishes stamp set and die cut them with the coordinating Best Fishes dies. I added a sandy bottom to my scene with the Slimline Nature Borders dies, cut from kraft cardstock and inked with Walnut Stain Distress Oxide. I arranged the images, and popped them up with foam tape. 

I used several sentiments from the stamp set to build a custom greeting. I started by stamping the text images, leaving room for the Chloe Number die cuts. I die cut the numbers from the same mint cardstock, and stacked 4 of them on top of each other for dimension. I inked the top layer with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink. To finish off my card, I added some white gel pen accents and some bubbles using Morning Dew Nuvo Drops.
