Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Leanne West

Hello Sunny Studio Fans! Leanne here and I'm happy to be guesting again on the blog. Let's talk about stamp set mash ups. It's my favorite way to get more out of my stamps. Especially when I can use different sets together that at first glance may not be an obvious mix. 

I have two cards to share today which demonstrate how well Sunny Studio stamps can mash up in unexpected ways.  

Sunny Studio Stamps: Bewitching Enchanted Halloween Card by Leanne West

For my Halloween card I wanted to use a princess image from Enchanted and transform her into a witch. With the witch hat and caldron from Bewitching, I was able to accomplish just that.  

Copics used: V12, V15, V17, E00, E21, R00, E41, E43, YG11, FYG2, YR21, YR12, YR16, N2, N4, N6

I've also added in some pumpkins from Fall Friends. The background is an ink blend mix of Carved Pumpkin, Ripe Persimmon, and Dusty Concord Distress Oxides. I've framed up the scene with the Fancy Frames Squares

Sunny Studio Stamps: Fall Friends Happy Harvest Fall Card by Leanne West

For my second card, I created an apple orchard scene combining two really great sets - Fall Friends and Happy Harvest. I just love the tree from Happy Harvest. It fits so nicely on this vertical mini slimline format. 

Copics used: R00, R22, R27, E41, E42, E43, E44, E33, E35, Y32, Y26, G11, G17, B95, B97, N2, N4, N6, W2, W4, W6

And who doesn't love cute critters peeking out from behind things. Fall Friends has four to chose from and they could be used for more than just fall themes. I've made this card into a friendship card which can be sent any time of the year.

Fall Friends Cards with Audrey and Tammy

Hello friends! Audrey here with a Fall Friends card to share with you! 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Fall Friends Thank You Word Dies Fall Themed Card by Audrey Tokach

To create my card, I started off with a piece of white cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25". I ink blended a teal ombre on the bottom 2/3 of the panel using Distress Oxide inks in Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers. To ground my scene, I added a piece of knit paper from the Sweater Weather patterned paper pad. Then, I stamped and colored images from the adorable Fall Friends stamp set, and die cut them with the coordinating Fall Friends Dies. I arranged my scene on the bottom of the panel, with some pieces glued flat with glue pen and others popped up for added dimension.

For my sentiment, I used a combination of stamps and dies. I die cut the Thank You Words Die three times from white cardstock and glued them together. Underneath that, I stamped a sentiment from the Words of Gratitude stamp set onto a white banner, and finished off the sentiment with a tiny clay heart.

Hi there! Tammy here with this sweet Fall themed slimline card, featuring the adorable set, Fall Friends. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Fall Friends Slimline Dies Fall Themed Card by Tammy Stark

To begin, I cut a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock using the Stitched Mat Die from the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies. I blended some Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks onto the background, then added a grassy border cut from the Slimline Nature Borders Dies I ink blended the grassy border using Scattered Straw and Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide inks.

Next, I stamped the images from Fall Friends, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Fall Friends Dies. I arranged the colored images onto my card using foam tape on some for dimension. I then stamped a sentiment from Harvest Mice onto a strip of white cardstock with marmalade ink. Lastly, I adhered the background to a dark kraft Slimline Scalloped Frame, then onto a white card base to complete my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!!
