Guest Designer Spotlight: Cherry Blossoms Cards with Dana Kirby

Hi friends! It's Dana here today and I am so excited to be a guest designer for Sunny Studio Stamps. The New Spring Release is packed full of so many amazing new products. There is so much to love and something for everyone. I have two cards to share today that use the gorgeous new Cherry Blossoms set. 

For my first card, I started by die cutting all of my floral images with the Cherry Blossoms die set. I then used my stamping tool and the Cherry Blossoms stamp set to do all of my stamping. Each layer has an alphanumeric marking to help guide your stamping.  Once I had everything lined up it was easy to stamp multiples. With my flowers, I didn't stamp the "a" layer. This allowed my florals to have a little white showing through and my colors to be a little softer. 

For my card panel, I trimmed down a piece of pattern paper from the Polka Dot Parade paper pack and attached it to an A2 card base. I then stamped my sentiment (also from the Cherry Blossoms stamp set) onto a die cut circle and attached it to the middle of my panel. Lastly, I attached my florals and added a few clear sequins to finish my card.

For my second card, I once again used the Cherry Blossoms stamp and die set to stamp all of my floral images. Next, I used the Out on a Limb die to create my branch. I attached the branch to the center of a panel that had been ink blended with a soft aqua ink. I then attached the florals to the branch and tucked in a few leaves.

To finish my card I added my sentiment and a few birds from the Little Birdie stamp set. I think these little birds are so sweet and I love how they coordinate with the flowers.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my cards. Also, thank you Sunny Studio for asking me to be a guest!! It was truly an honor and I appreciate the opportunity.

Charming City Cards with Vanessa and Audrey

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a new card using the Charming City set.

I first stamped the houses onto a panel of white cardstock and inked the background with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. Then I die-cut a grassy edge from a strip of green cardstock and added it with a strip of grey cardstock using foam tape. Now I stamped the images, colored them with Copics, die-cut the pieces with the matching dies and adhered the elements with foam tape.

For this card, the following sets were used:
Charming City stamps + dies
Paris Afternoon stamps + dies
Fancy Frames Circle Dies
Comic Strip Everyday Dies

I die-cut the Fancy Frames Circle Dies from the front of a white card base and adhered the stamped and layered piece behind it. Finally, I stamped the "bonjour!" onto a strip of pink cardstock, heat-embossed it with white embossing powder, trimmed it and adhered it to the window.

Have a happy weekend, everybody!

Hello friends! Audrey here with a Charming City card to share with you today! 

To create this card, I started off with a piece of white cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25".  I masked off the bottom 1/3 and blended Broken China Distress Ink above the mask for the sky in my scene. Then, I reversed the mask and inked the bottom with Twisted Citron Distress Ink. I stamped the row of little houses from the Charming City stamp set, along with the two trees. They were colored with Copic markers and die cut with the coordinating Charming City Dies. I popped the houses and trees up with foam tape. 

Above the houses, I added some tiny clouds cut using the Comic Strip Everyday die. For the sentiment, I stamped "bonjour" from the Charming City stamp set onto a white banner diecut and popped it up with foam tape also. I really wanted these cute little houses to shine, so I kept things pretty simple. The panel was popped up on an A2 card base.

Bunnyville Cards with Anja and Marine

Hi everyone, Anja here and today I'm sharing a sweet spring scene created with the adorable Bunnyville Stamps.

I started off with a lilac top folding A2 card base and trimmed down a piece of Bristol cardstock to be a bit smaller. For the background, I blended together the Distress Oxide Inks Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron. I let the colors fade into the white and added ink splatters with a paint brush. When everything was completely dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Spring Greetings mini set in in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I just love these cute bunnies and their little carrot house. I cut everything out with the coordinating dies and assembled the scene.

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

Hi crafty friends! Marine here. Spring has arrived so it's time to share with you some cute and sweet Easter inspiration showcasing the adorable Bunnyville stamp set. Originally, I had planned to make just one card, the one with the carrot houses, but I really wanted to use the carrot balloons so I made a second card to feature those balloons.

I started off by cutting a 5,5 x 4,25" bristol panel, and used stencils from stash along with oxide inks to create a lovely countryside scenery. At the bottom of the panel, I created a grass section using shabby shutters + mowed lawn oxide inks. Right above it, I created a hill section using mowed lawn + rustic wilderness oxide inks. And at the top of the panel, I created a cloudy stencil using tumbled glass + salty ocean oxide inks.

Next I stamped my images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the coordinating dies and then colored everything using my alcohol markers. And as always, I picked the images from some other stamp sets: Harvest Mice for the cart and Balloon Rides for the banner.

Once the coloring was done, I attached everything on my countryside panel. I first glued the yellow carrot + some grass inside the cart using liquid glue, and next I stuck the other images using foam squares for the biggest images, as well as glue dots and liquid glue for the smallest ones.

Next I created my sentiment in two parts. I cut the letters to form the word "Easter" out of a light blue cardstock using the Chloe Alphabet die set, and as always I added white letters at the back to create an outline and make the letters pop on the green background. I attached those letters at the bottom of my panel, and then stamped the word "Happy" from Fabulous Flamingos right above the letters. I used my white gel pen to add highlights and details to the images and finally attached my panel on a white card base.

And like I said at the beginning, I really wanted to use the carrot balloons from Bunnyville, so I created a mini slimline edge to edge shaker card inspired by the Heart Bouquet card I shared here on the blog back in December. 

To make this hot air carrot balloon, I also picked the bunny + basket from Balloon Rides, as well as the balloon strings from Heart Bouquet. And for my sentiment, I white heat embossed the phrase "May your Easter be a happy one" from Bunnyville on green cardstock and cut it using a die from the Scalloped Circle Mat 1 die set.

And that's it for today! I had a lot of fun making those two cards, and I hope you like them too! The process video is available above (click on the image above) so make sure to check it out for more information and details about the cards. Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next week!

Critters on the Go Cards with Franci and Gladys

Hi there! It's Franci here with a fun colorfull card featuring the Critters on the Go set. Aww these critters are so cute!

First of all I stamped them all, colored them with copics and die cut them out with their coordinated dies. Then added a couple of details with a white gel pen.

I created a card base out of white cardstock and masked multiple times the front to ink it with distress inks and create this fun design. These are the colors I used: Twisted Citron, Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade.

I stamped my sentiment at the bottom, added a little heart and all the images with foam adhesive, plus some iridescent sequins.

This card makes me so happy, hope you like it too and thanks a lot for stopping by today!

Hello friends! Gladys here sharing a cute scene featuring the Critters on the Go stamp set.

First I stamped and colored some images from the Critters on the Go stamp set with alcohol markers. This stamp set is so fun and full of cute critters that you can add onto a scooter, moped, and even a skateboard. Once I was done coloring I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Next I used the Stitched Semi-Circle die to cut from Bristol smooth cardstock. I created the background using distress oxide inks, stencils and masking tape. For the cloud I used salty ocean, for the hill I used mowed lawn and shabby shutters and the road with black soot and hickory smoke.

I adhered the images onto the inked panel using foam tape for dimension. Then I adhered the panel onto patterned paper and layered it again with colored cardstock. For the sentiment I white heat embossed it on a gray cardstock and cut using a fishtail banner die. Finally I colored and cut some tiny hearts from Paris Afternoon to complete this missing you card.

I hope you enjoy my card today. Thanks for joining me. Have a great day!

Cherry Blossoms Cards with Isha and Kavya

Hello everyone! Isha today with a CAS floral card featuring the pretty layering florals from the Cherry Blossom stamps and dies. 

Even though it's a layering stamp set, I didn't use the layers. Instead, I used the 3rd layer and stamped the florals onto watercolor cardstock using versamark ink, emboss using white embossing powder and heat set. Add color using watercolors. Stamp the leaves using two shades of green inks.Die-cut the flowers and leaves using the coordinating dies.

Die-cut a circle using the Stitched Circle Small die from white cardstock. Die-cut the inside of the Quatrefoil  from the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil and adhere it behind the circle piece. 

Take a white cardbase and softly sponge salty ocean distress ink in the place for the circle opening. Adhere the layer to the card. Adhere the florals and leaves as per the liking.

Die-cut the word THANK You from the Slimline Scalloped Frame dies using black and white cardstock. Adhere the black words behind the white slight offset.  Adhere to the card.

Thank you for dropping by. Have a nice day.

HI folks, Kavya here. I am back on the blog with another fun project! Visiting Mount Fuji in Japan is one of the top items on my bucket list. When I saw the new Cherry Blossoms stamp set, I knew I had to recreate the beautiful travel posters I would see from time to time. This card does use some basic shapes that can be cut without a die.

I first started off by creating the mountains and the bright red sun by cutting triangles and a circle out of cardstock. I then in blended the edges and added some details using paint splatters and a white gel pen. Then, for the sky, I ink blended using Tumbled Glass and Milled Lavender distress oxide inks. For the water, I ink blended mint cardstock using Peacock Feathers distress oxide ink. 

Later, I stamped a bunch of Cherry Blossoms using the Cherry Blossom stamp set and arranged them based on a previous card created by Mendi. I used the Out on a Limb die as a branch for the cherry blossoms. Finally, I finished off the card by adding a die cut sentiment using the Hello Word Die. 

That’s it! I hope this project inspires you ;) Happy Crafting!
