Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Rachel Alvarado

Hello friends! It's Rachel here from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I am thrilled to be guest designing for the newest Sunny Studio release and have two projects to share with you!

My first project is a mini slimline pop-up box card that measures at 3.5" x 6.5" when folded. I colored a number of the cute little pandas from the new Panda Party Stamp Set with Copic Markers after stamping them onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I used the coordinating Panda Party Die Set to cut them out. I also added a bundle of balloons from the Floating By Stamp Set.

I added some grass by trimming 4 pieces of white card stock to 4" x 2" and die cutting them with the grass die from the Slimline Nature Border Dies. I then blended these pieces with some Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Ink and splattered them with some diluted opaque white paint. I also blended a blue sky background with some Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink.

Copic Colors Used:

• Pandas: W00, W1, W3, W5, W7, W9
• Pinks: RV02, RV04, RV55, RV66
• Greens: YG01, YG07, YG17, YG67
• Blues: B000, B01, B04
• Purples: V01, V12, V15
• Yellows: Y11, Y13, Y15
• Oranges: YR02, YR04, YR18

For my second card, I made a clean and simple card featuring the cute little pups from the Puppy Love Stamp Set. I wanted the puppies to be the focal point of the card, so I kept my background simple by utilizing the majority of the white space. To start, I trimmed a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock to 4.25" x 5.5". I then stamped my pups onto the lower left corner of my card with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I also stamped my sentiment on the top right corner with the same ink.

I once again used Copic Markers to color my images to finish my card.

Copic Colors Used:

• Browns: E40, E42, E43, E44
• White: 0, W00, W1, W3
• Reds: R14, R35, R59, R89
• Shadow: T1, T3

Tranquil Tulips Cards with Tina and Vanessa

Hello crafty friends, Tina here and today I have a happy Spring bouquet for you using the new Tranquil Tulips layering stamp and die set. This set contains three beautiful tulips and several leaves to use in your flower compositions.

Let’s start with our background panel for which I dry embossed a panel of Neenah Solar White paper with the Lots Of Dots embossing folder. I have been using this technique a lot lately in my projects because it gives extra dimension and detail to your card without adding any bulk. So, it’s perfect to keep your card flat to go well through the mail.

Next, I cut this embossed panel with the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace die to give it a sweet scalloped border and glued it to a white card base. I thought it would be nice to ‘frame’ my bouquet so I created one from pink glitter cardstock using the mat die from Mini Mat & Tag 1 combined with a slightly smaller rectangle from an infinity set. I backed this frame with a piece of grey and white striped paper from the Subtle Grey Tones paper pad and attached it to my background panel.

For my bouquet, I selected bold and fresh colors using several dye inks from my stash. I added white highlights with my gel pen to the flowers and leaves. I arranged the bouquet onto the frame panel with foam tape. The sentiment was stamped onto a small white banner with my trusty Versafine Onyx Black ink and mounted to the panel. To embellish the card I sprinkled a few Chrystal Clear Jewels onto the panel.

I hope you like this sweet bouquet and got inspired to create some happy Spring cards too!  Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a thank you card using the beautiful Tranquil Tulips set.

I first used the Frilly Frames Eyelet Lace die to die-cut the lace pattern from the green card base. Now I stamped the tulips, the Watering Can, the Vintage Jar, and the "thanks" using the Big Bold Greeting Stamps and die-cut the pieces with the matching dies before adhering the elements to the card with foam tape. Finally, I added highlights with a white gel pen.

These lovely stamps make me want to buy some tulips! I hope I've brought a piece of spring into your home today, have a wonderful weekend!

Hayley Alphabet Focused Cards with Waleska and Marine

Hey crafty friends! Marine here, so happy to be back on the blog with a busy but yet super cute slimline card featuring a lovely tiger family + a whole bunch of images, as well as the new Hayley Lowercase Alphabet.

First, I cut an 8,5" x 3,5" bristol panel, and created a jungle/tropical landscape using stencils and oxide inks. I divided my panel into several parts, and worked my way from the bottom towards the top. At the very bottom: a swamp using salvaged patina + peacock feathers oxide inks. Above that swamp: two hills and mountains using mowed lawn + rustic wilderness oxide inks. And above the mountains: the sky using squeezed lemonade + carved pumpkin oxide inks.

Once the landscape was done, I moved on to the coloring, and stamped all my images on white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers. Here's a detailed list of the stamps I used:

- kitties from Purrfect Birthday + Balloon Rides + Beach Buddies to make tigers
- grass details from Garden Critters
- the branch from Outback Critters
- rocks from Fintastic Friends + Savanna Safari
- leaves from Best Fishes
- the snow bank from Bear Hugs to make a grassy platform in the middle the swamp
- the tree trunk from Seasonal Trees
- the tropical birds from Tiki Time
- tropical leaves and flowers from Fabulous Flamingos
- the leaves and ivy from Tropical Scenes

Next I attached all the images on my panel using 1mm foam squares mostly, as well as 3mm glue dots and liquid glue.

I used the new Hayley Lowercase Alphabet to cut some letters and create the word "Wild". I cut those letters twice: in aqua and in white, and I glued the white letters at the back of the aqua ones to create an outline. Attached the letters on the sky section using liquid glue, and stamped the words "About You" from Squirrel Friends right below to finally read "Wild about you".

And as always, I added highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen. And that's it! I hope that you like this new tropical and super cute scene. Feel welcome to watch the process video for more details (click on the image above). Thank you so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Hello Friends, Waleska here. Are you ready for more inspiration using the latest release? What new products are you enjoying? Today I want to share with you a super sweet card using two new products, the Panda Party Stamps and the Hayley Alphabet dies.

To create this card I started by choosing the color palette, to do that I got inspiration from the beautiful Spring Fever paper pad, the beautiful pastel colors made me think of a fun panda birthday party. I cut a white panel with the Stitched Rectangle dies and inked some clouds trying to coordinate the same pastel colors with Oxide Inks, Squeezed Lemonade, Shaded Lilac, Wild Honey and Peacock Feathers. I used some sparkle watercolor too.

I then stamped and color the sweetest little pandas and adhere them to the clouds. I added some birthday hats using the same paper I used as inspiration. I finally cut the letters to form the word Birthday, and to add some dimension I adhered three of each letters and I form the word. To finish my card I cut a panel slightly bigger of my card from the pattern paper to tie all the colors and design. I simply adore this pandas they look so cute and they can be used for so many different occasions.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Have a wonderful day!
