Summery Greenery Cards with Catherine and Bobbi

Hello Friends! Catherine here, sharing a “flamazing” card using Summer Greenery Dies and the cute flamingos from Fabulous Flamingos Stamps.

To start, I die cut a piece of White Cardstock with Frilly Frames Stripes Dies. I then sprayed some Kirsch Flamingo Distress Spray onto the frame. I thought the color would match perfectly with the flamingoes in the card!

I flipped the frame over and glued on a piece of acetate. I then added foam tape onto the edges and poured Birthday Cake Dot Sprinkles and Pastel Rainbow Confetti into the frame. I removed the backing on the tape and attached a piece of White Cardstock 4.25”x 5.5.”

I then die cut the Summer Greenery Dies and ink blended some greenery with Squeezed Lemonade, Dried Marigold, and Salt Water Taffy Distress Oxide Ink. I ink blended other greenery pieces with Tumbled Glass and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink. I splattered some pink and blue watercolor onto the greenery for interest.

I thought it would be fun to add a drink bar for the flamingoes so I borrowed the bar from Tiki Time Stamps and colored the bar with Copic Markers. I added a “special cocktail” filled with confetti. To make the cocktail glass, I die cut three circles using the smallest circle in Stitched Circle Large Dies: one circle with White Cardstock, one circle with Acetate,  and one circle with Double Sided Foam.

I ink blended the White Cardstock circle with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and then I cut all the circles in half. For the cocktail glass, I glued the confetti from Pastel Rainbow Confetti onto one of the blue half circles. I added and glued on straws by cutting two thin strips of paper from Classic Sunburst Paper.

For the outer rim of the cocktail glass, I trimmed the other blue half into a thin curved piece to fit the outer shape of the Acetate half circle. I did the same for the Double Sided Foam half circle.  I glued the blue outer rim onto the front of the Acetate half circle. I then glued the trimmed Double Sided Foam half circle onto the back of the acetate. I removed the tape backing and attached it onto the other blue half with the confetti.

I used the lollipop die from Candy Shoppe Dies for cocktail glass stand.  I die cut the lollipop die with White Cardstock and ink blended with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. I then trimmed the piece and glued it onto the back of the glass.

I stamped and die cut the flamingoes, watermelon, and pineapples from Fabulous Flamingoes Stamps and Fabulous Flamingos Dies and colored the pieces with Copic Markers. For the sentiment, I ink blended a piece of White Cardstock with Kirsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. I die cut the piece with a pennant from Stitched Rectangle Dies and white heat embossed “Happy Summer” from the same set.

Hello Sunny friends! It’s Bobbi Lemanski here sharing a handmade greeting using the new Summery Greenery dies by Sunny Studio Stamps. This brightly-colored card offers a trendy color combination along with a quick and simple card layout. I’m using a fun flower and a striped patterned paper for the background. These patterns are from the Subtle Grey Tones paper pack. I love this paper pack!  The “Aloha” word is from the Island Getaway Stamp set.

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I started by adhering patterned papers to the card front. Since the 6″ X 6″ pattern papers do not cover the entire 7″ long card front, I added an inch of 1/8″ strips of colored cardstock to the bottom of the front. I also added a 5/8″ strip of striped patterned paper to the bottom, too. Both patterns are from the same Subtle Grey paper pack.

I cut four 2-1/4″ diameter circles out of green, pink, gold and teal cardstock. I cut a different leafy design from each circle cut. One of the leaves is actually longer than the circle, cutting the circle in half. That’s okay! I love when the leaves extend beyond the circle cut. How cute is that?!

I attached the four circles to the front, replacing the leafy design with a sage green leafy die cut for contrast. Each circle got faux black stitches around the perimeter and some black dots in the hole cutouts of the leaves. I used a fine-tip black marker to create the stitches by hand. I like the black accents with these bright colors. It “grounds” it a bit!

I added some Black Onyx Droplets to the card for more high contrast. I also used my black marker to add smaller dots of black to the front. Lastly, I stamped “aloha” in black in the center of the circles to finish this card. This card could be used for many occasions, including a simple “hi.”

Country Carnival Cards with Anja

Hi everyone, Anja here with you today and I'm excited to be guest designing with the latest Sunny Studio Summer Release. I'm sharing two cards made with the Country Carnival Stamps.

On my first card, I created a fun carnival scene using the carousel, ticket booth, popcorn stand, balloons and bear images.

I started off with ink blending the background. To create a cotton candy colored sky, I used the Distress Oxide Inks Salvaged Patina, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar. The ground was blended with Hickory Smoke ink. I die cut it with the stitched rectangle die from the Frilly Frames Retro Petals set. I stamped the sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and adhered the background to the white A2 card base.

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

For my second card, I used the awesome ferris wheel and combined it with a couple of other images.

This time I created a portrait A2 card base from white cardstock and blended on some Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink in the background. For the two grass hills, I used Mowed Lawn and Shabby Shutters and die cut them with the Slimline Nature Border Dies.

I picked the girl and boy from the Spring Showers set as well as the small trees included in the Balloon Rides set. The images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and I colored them with Copic Markers. I cut everything out with the coordinating dies.

I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I also added the word 'FUN' which I die cut from colored and white cardstock using the Chloe Alphabet Dies. Finally, I assembled the scene by adhering the die cuts, sentiment and images.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you have an amazing day!

Watering Can Cards with Audrey and Vanessa

Hello Friends! Audrey here with a fun floral card for you! 

To create this card, I started off by die cutting the Quilted Hearts Portrait background from white cardstock and mounted it to a light grey card base. I stamped the Watering Can with a light and medium shade of grey ink and die cut it with the coordinating Watering Can dies. To fill the watering can, I stamped the Lovely Lilacs florals in several shades of purple and green ink, and die cut them with the coordinating Lovely Lilacs dies. I arranged the flowers, popping some foam tape for added dimension. 

To ground the focal point, I added a strip of woodgrain cardstock to the bottom of the panel which I ink blended with Vintage Photo distress ink to add some different tones to the wood look. I popped the watering can up with foam tape, and added a trio of butterflies which can be found in the Watering Can set. 

Then, I stamped a sentiment from Watering Can to a banner die cut and adhered it to the right side of the panel, overlapping the watering can. To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents and some Stickles glitter to the butterfly wings.

-------------------------------------------

Hello to you! Vanessa here with an interactive card using the Watering Can set. On this card the fun is happening inside:

I wanted to make the beautiful butterflies the star of the show, so I stamped a whole lot of them. For this, I used Koi Watercolor Pens, colored the solid stamp with various colors, spritzed the stamp with water and stamped. The result looked messy first, but with the black outlines it turned out pretty.

These are the sets I used:
Watering Can stamps + dies
Lovely Lilacs stamps + dies
Stitched Circle Large Dies

I started with a grey card base and splattered white paint droplets to the inside and outside of it. After I had stamped all images, I die-cut the pieces with the matching dies. Now I die-cut a circle from clear cardstock and cut a spiral out of it. This spiral is the base for the flying butterflies. I adhered the center of the spiral to the bottom part of the card and the outer point to the top part of the card. Then I added the butterflies and adhered the images to the front of the card.

To make the inside a bigger surprise, I kept the front really simple. Because the lilacs and the watering can are layering stamps without outlines, it didn't fit the butterfly with the black details. So I simply used a black marker and added my own outlines to make the butterfly match better.

Have a lovely day everybody!

Swimming Pool Die Focused Cards by Marieke and Marine

Hello Sunny Studio friends, Marieke here. Today I hope to inspire you with a slimline shaker card using the Swimming Pool Die. 

So first I started with the wooden deck. Using wood grain specialty paper I cut the slimline rectangle. Then cut strips of 1/4 inch and cut some in three pieces and the other ones in two pieces. Ink Blended each of them using Walnut Stain Distress inkt and glued them on another kraft rectangle.

Die cut the Swimming Pool die out of the middle and adhered some acetate behind it. Cut a slightly smaller blue rectangle, traced it on the back of the kraft rectangle and added some foam tape on the back of the kraft rectangle and "closed" the swimming pool so it would turn into a shaker compartment. Filled the compartment with sequins and closed it using the blue rectangle.

Used Copic Colors:
Swimming Pool - C1, C00, 0
Purple - BV17, BV04, BV13, BV02
Yellow - Y17, Y15, Y13
Teal - BG15, BG13, BG11
Pink - RV06, RV04, RV02
Green - YG67, YG03, YG01
White - C5, C3, C1, C00, 0
Tree Trunks - E47, E44, E43
Chairs - E37, E35, E33, E31
Skin - E000, E00, E11, E21, E04 / R22, R20
Blond hair - YR24, YR23, Y21, Y11
Brown Hair (girl) - E37, E35, E33, E31
Black / Brown Hair - W9, W6, W5, W3
Brown Hair (boy) - E59, E57, E55, E53

Die cut the Swimming Pool die 4 times out of white cardstock and on one of them I added some grey details using my Copic markers. Adhered them together, die cut the stairs out of silver cardstock and glued it on to the swimming pool. 

Stamped the images of Kiddie Pool, Sending Sunshine, Tropical Scenes stamps. Colored them up using my Copic markers and cut them using the matching dies or cut them by hand. Adhered all the images onto the cardbase using foam tape.

Heat set the sentiment out of Sending Sunshine on some yellow cardstock and cut it into a smaller strip. Die cut the larger word four times out of link cardstock using the Sunshine Word die, glued them together and added some white gel pen details. Stamped the sentiment from the Kiddie Pool on some white cardstock and cut it using a speech bubble die.

Adhered the shaker onto a 1/2 inch larger white rectangle. Cut a top fold white base card 1/3 larger than the white rectangle and added the paper out of the Sleek Stripes Paper Pad. Adhered everything onto the base card using double sided tape and my card was all done.

Hey crafty friends! Marine here with you today, back with three little frogs having fun around the pond! I used the Swimming Pool die to create the pond, as well as some images from different sets to make this cute scene:

• Country Scenes: cattails + lily pad
• Feeling Froggy: frog + dragonfly
• Best Fishes: leaves
• Sealiously Sweet: sentiment

I stamped all those cute images using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, coloring them using my alcohol markers, and cut everything using the coordinating dies.

For the background, I first cut a 5,5" x 4,25" bristol panel, and I used grass stencils along with mowed lawn + rustic wilderness distress oxide inks to create a large grass section on half of the panel. And on the rest of the panel, I created the sky using a cloud stencil along with tumbled glass + salty ocean distress oxide inks.

Next I cut the Swimming Pool element, and I wanted the pond to look natural, so I colored it using grey markers to give it some stone effect. And to make the water inside the pond, I placed the die on a piece of bristol cardstock, traced the shape on the paper, fussy cut it, and then I colored that element using shabby shutters + broken china distress oxide inks.

I attached my pond border on the water element using foam squares, and then I stuck the whole piece on the panel using liquid glue. I cut around the frog images to get rid of the lily pads, and next I attached all my cute images on the panel around the pond using foam squares and glue dots.

For the sentiment, I stamped the words "You're" & "Awesome" on the top part of the panel, and between those words, I glued some letters that I cut using the Chloe Alphabet die set to finally read "You're froggin' awesome".

I finished my card by attaching the panel on a kraft card base and adding white details and highlights on the images, and that's it! We have a cute and fun little scene, and I hope that you like it! As always, feel welcome to check the process video for more details (click the image above). Thanks for stopping by and see you next week!

Ocean View Cards with Alma and Gladys

Hello, this is Alma and I would like to spend a day with you at the dream beach today! For today's card I've chosen a square format. 

In the center of my card is the awesome beach image from the Ocean View Stamps set, which I coloured with Copics and punched out with the Ocean View dies. To make the beach look even more fabulous, I chose a rainbow coloured background. To do this, I gently wiped the background with the Distress Oxide Inks shades Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet, Twisted Citron, Wild Honey and Worn Lipstick. Then I punched a stencil with the cloud die from the Slimline Nature Border Dies set and applied a layer of clouds with the same colour tones. I then sprinkled water on it to add texture to the background. Finally I set some highlights with the white gel pen. 

Then for the foreground I punched waves with the Catch a Wave Dies and coloured them with Distress Oxide Inks 'Mermaid Lagoon'. I then coloured the characters from the Beach Buddies Stamps set. After that I assembled all the individual parts and stamped the text Summer Sunshine from the same set. 

Don't you want to enjoy the day in the water with these cute characters?!

Hello crafty friends! Gladys here sharing a beach scene card featuring the Ocean View stamp set.

To begin I stamped and colored the ocean backdrop image. I only used part of the image as a backdrop for a wedding scene. Then I cut the image using the coordinating dies. I cut it again using a basic stitched rectangle die to have the stitching all around. Next I stamped the cute married penguin couple from Wedded Bliss, colored them with Copic markers then cut using the matching dies.

For the sky background I used distress oxide inks in faded jeans, kitsch flamingo and tattered rose. I adhered the ocean image on the inked panel using liquid glue. Then I backed the penguins with foam tape to add dimension. To complete the scene I added a few clouds in the sky. Finally I stamped the sentiment using the Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
