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.

Crisp Autumn Cards with Marine and Anja

Hey crafty friends, Marine here, I'm so glad to be back on the blog with this monochrome card featuring the new Crisp Autumn stamp set, as well as the cute kitty from Bewitching, some sunflowers from Happy Harvest, and my sentiment is from Words Of Gratitude.

I used Lawn Fawn dye inks to stamp my pumpkins and leaves from Crisp Autumn on kraft cardstock, and I started with a first batch of pumpkins:|
- 1b in pizza crust ink + 1c in doe ink ; 1d in doe ink + 1e in walnut ink
- 2b in pizza crust ink  + 2c in doe ink ; 2d in doe ink + 2e in walnut ink

For the second batch of pumpkins:
- 1a in pizza crust + 1b in doe ink + 1c in walnut ink ; 1d in walnut ink + 1e in black licorice ink
- 2a in pizza crust + 2b in doe ink + 2c in walnut ink ; 2d in walnut ink + 2e in black licorice ink

I also stamped two chestnut leaves:
- 3b in pizza crust ink + 3c in doe ink + 3d in walnut ink

Next I stamped some additional images on the same kraft cardstock using Potting Soil ink by Ranger, and used brown alcohol markers to color them.

I created a very simple background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25' kraft panel and to give it some interest and not just have a flat panel, I scored lines every half an inch on the long side. And then I used vintage photo and ground espresso oxide inks to add contrast and texture on the edges.

I cut the images using the coordinating dies and attached everything using foam squares and glue dots. And finally I stamped my sentiment 'I'm so thankful for your friendship' from Words of Gratitude above the images.

And that's it! I love making monochrome cards, and I'm super happy that I get to share my very first one of the season for Sunny Studio. I leave you with the video above, and wish you an amazing day. See you next time!

Hi everyone, Anja here and today's colorful card features the Crisp Autumn Stamps and a special die cutting technique.

The bright color scheme was inspired by the beautiful Sweater Weather 6x6 Papers. This means, I added aqua, pink and blue to the traditional fall colors. I created an A2 card base from white cardstock and cut out the blue leafy paper with a slightly smaller rectangle die.

I stamped all layers of the leaves and pumpkins with dye inks (you can find the ink colors below) and the help of a stamp positioning tool. I cut them out with the coordinating dies.

Altenew Dye Inks used:
Orange pumpkins: Sunkissed, Orange Cream, Autumn Blaze
Green pumpkins: Minty Mint, Sweet Leaf, Just Green
Pumpkin stems: Forest Glades, Evergreen
Yellow leaves: Buttercream, Warm Sunshine, Caramel Toffee
Green leaves: Bamboo, Parrot, Olive
Pink leaves: Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious, Rubellite, Razzleberry
Aqua leaves: Mountain Mist,Volcano Lake, Lagoon, Emerald
Sentiment: Sapphire

Next, I did the "Die cuts within larger die" technique. Therefore, I arranged the die cuts on a circle and put a piece of masking paper on top to keep everything in place. Then I run it through my die-cutting machine with a regular circle die. I flipped it over and added foam tape to the back of the die cuts. I adhered it to a white cardstock circle before carefully removing the masking paper. I trimmed off a bit from the right side and lined it up with the patterned paper.

The scripty sentiment was stamped in dark blue, cut out with the matching die and I adhered it using liquid glue. Finally, I added three White Diamond Jewels to embellish the card.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a happy day!

Fall Friends Cards with Franci and Julia

Hi there! It's Franci here with a card featuring the new Fall Friends set. Aww this set it soo cute! 

First I created a card base out of white cardstock and covered part of the front with a stripe of this beautiful patterned paper included in the Sweater Weather 6x6 set. I added some white little dots on it and then moved onto my images. 

I stamped them all with a Copic friendly ink, colored them and die cut them out with their coordinated dies. I arranged them into this cute little scene and glued them down with foam adhesive. Finally I stamped my sentiment at the bottom and the card is finished! 

Creating for Fall is soo much fun with the new collection! Happy crafting!

Hello crafty friends! It’s Julia here and I am so excited to share this cute fall slimline card with you!

First, I stamped the images from Fall Friends, Harvest Mice, and Alpaca Holiday onto Bristol Smooth cardstock and I colored them in using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

I die-cut the Slimline Scalloped Frame pieces and ink blended the background with Scattered Straw and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks. Then I also die cut a few hills with the Slimline Nature Borders and I used Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide on those.

I added all the pieces to a slimline card base and added my cute fall critters and pumpkins to the scene with liquid glue and foam squares. Finally, I heat embossed the sentiment from Harvest Mice onto a strip of black cardstock and I added it to the left corner of my card.

I had the best time crafting with these adorable fall critters!! I hope you like it, too! Thanks so much for stopping by today and have an amazing day!!

Words of Gratitude Cards with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone! Isha here with an autumn theme card featuring our Words Of Gratitude stamp set. Have you ever wished to create sentiments to express your feelings? then this set is perfect. It has so many sentiments and the fonts go very well together. I made my own expression by combining four sentiments :)

To start, I created the background by lightly brushing white ink to a yellow cardstock. Emboss this piece using the Cable Knit embossing folder. Now simply brush wild honey distress oxide ink to enhance the embossed part. I then adhered it to a white card and flick some pink paint.

Die-cut the frame using the Snowflake Circle Frame. Add gold watercolor to it and adhere to a piece of vellum. Die-cut leaves from the new Winter Greenery die using watercolor paper. Add picked raspberry, wild honey distress ink with a water-brush and also some gold watercolor. 

Stamp the sentiment from the Words of Gratitude stamp to the vellum part. Adhere the frame to the card and then adhere all the leaves. To finish, adhere some Iridescent Jewels.

Thanks for dropping by! Have a nice day.

Hi folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun card using the new release! I am still in summer mode so I decided to make a watermelon themed card using just circle dies! But full disclosure.. this one didn’t turn out exactly how I planned in my mind. You cannot really make out the watermelon slice and it does look a bit messy but I still think its a fun way to stretch your supplies and I also mentioned some ways in which you can avoid the mistakes I made!

I first started off by stamping and coloring multiple images from the following sets:

• Beach Buddies and Beach Babies for all the critters and beach paraphernalia
• Tropical Scenes and Tiki Time for foliage and palm tree

For the watermelon slice, I die cut three semi circles using three consecutive dies from Stitched Circle Small and Stitched Circle Large die sets. I ink blended the three circles using red and green dye inks. For the seeds, I simply drew them using a black alcohol marker and added extra details using a white gel pen! I then arranged all the stamped critters around the melon. 

Now for the mistakes to avoid: 

• Place the critters farther away from the melon so that the melon is visible! I don’t think you can really make it out now..
• Draw the seeds after placing the sentiment so that it doesn’t look too crowded and messy :) 

For the sentiment, I simply using the Loopy Letters die heat embossed sentiments from the new Words of Gratitude. 

That’s it! I hope you liked this fun card :) Check back tomorrow for more inspiration! Happy Crafting.
