Balloon Alphabet Card with Nicky

Hello everyone, this is Nicky with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I'm sharing a card featuring the fun Balloon Alphabet stamps and dies. Read on for all the details!

I die cut a white panel of cardstock using the Bursting Hearts Die. I glued this to a pale pink panel of cardstock and framed it out in white. This frame was made using the Comic Strip Everyday Die but I snipped out the dividing sections in the centre. This was all glued to a card base and set to one side.

I stamped the word LOVE using the Balloon Alphabet stamp and Cherry Kisses ink by The Stamp Market. I die cut the letters and backed them with foam tape. I stamped the kittens, 2 are from Cat Antics and one from Party Pets and I coloured this with Copic markers C3, C1, C0, C00, R22, R21, R20, R00. I highlighted with a white gel pen and die cut the images using their coordinating dies and backed these with foam tape too.

I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on a black sentiment strip and backed this with foam tape. The word 'you' was taken from the Happy Thoughts Stamp set and the pretty font matches with the 'furever' word.

I then set about assembling all the foam backed elements and glued the balloon strings in place. To embellish the card I die cut some hearts using some of the pink cardstock and some glittering silver cardstock too and nestled these in position in random places and a few sparkling clear sequins in different sizes completed the scene.

Thank you for visiting the blog today, I hope you have a lovely and crafty weekend!

Majestic Meadow Card with Marine

Hello crafty friends, Marine here with you today! I'm so happy to be back on the blog with this adorable Snow White inspired card showcasing the Majestic Meadow in the background, and a mix & match of images to create a lovely fairytale themed scene.

I started off by stamping the images on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers. As always, here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Majestic Meadow - background, birds, clouds • Enchanted - princess, castle • Little Birdie - birdhouse, birds • Garden Critter - grass • Balloon Rides - small trees • Tulip Path Background - butterflies.

Next I cut several panels to build the card base. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Gingham Jewel Tones brown panel, and attached that panel to a card base using liquid glue. I cut a scalloped panel out of white cardstock using the main Frilly Frames Hexagon die, and stuck it to the gingham panel using 1mm foam tape. I cut a 4,75 x 3,5 inches panel out of a Summer Splash cloudy paper, mixed some copic opaque white with water and used a slim brush to add splatters to my panel, did the same with salty ocean oxide ink, and once my cloudy panel was dry, I attached it to the scalloped panel using liquid glue.

I added highlights and details to the images with a white gel pen, and then attached them all to my card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. For my greeting, I white heat embossed "Hoping your day is magical" from Garden Fairy on dark brown cardstock and cut it into a fishtail banner that I stuck below the scene using foam squares again. And to totally finish my card, I added white blizzard nuvo to the butterflies wings to bring even more cuteness and magic to the scene.

And that's it! I hope that you like this super sweet card, I like to mix new images with older ones, it's always a fun exercise! Thanks so much for stopping by, and see you next time!

Rounded Rectangle Mat Die Focused Card with Tina

Hello crafters, it’s Tina and today I am making a fun birthday card with a bunch of cute kitties. The winter has been quite cold, so I thought these sweeties needed some warm sweaters too! I just added a few extra lines with a fine black marker to the stamped images to create that look.

After I made a white card base (which seems to be my favorite color lately!), I cut two layers with different sizes of the Rounded Rectangle Mat dies. The larger one from teal paper (Dots & Stripes Pastels) was mounted to card base with foam tape to create instant dimension. The smaller white mat will be the background for my scene. First, I added extra texture to this piece by running it through the die cutting machine using the beautiful Buffalo Plaid Diagonal die.

After masking of the bottom, I used some Antique Linnen Distress Oxide for the floor portion of the scene. Then, I splattered some Salvaged Patina ink on the top part for added interest.

After gluing this piece to the teal mat, I started stamping and cutting all the elements I needed for this card. I selected three cute kitties (Cat Antics and Party Pets), a mailbox (Bighearted Bears) and a letter (Snail Mail).

For the coloring, I went with Copic markers in red and teal tones. As mentioned before, I added a few lines to create the ‘sweaters’ for the cats and added white gel pen details to customize them.   

I love the large sentiments from Big Bold Greetings and their matching dies so I stamped the ‘Happy Birthday’ in Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Next, I could create my little scene and add the beautiful sentiment (which consists of several die cut layers glued together to give it that sturdy look). As a final embellishment, I sprinkled a few teal jewels onto the card (Pastel Jewels Mix).

Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!

Background Basics 2 Card with Amanda

Hello there, crafters, Amanda here! I hope your week is off to a great start! Today, I am sharing a cute little kitty card I created for a special birthday!

This card has quite a few layers, so let me explain how I created each one! First, I used the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies and cut both of the larger frames. I only used the outside layer of each cutout and saved the inside frames for another card. Next, I ran a piece of mint paper through my die-cutting machine with the Morrocan Circles Embossing Folder. 

Then, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 2.75” x 4” for my background panel. On this panel, I masked off the bottom portion with some tape. I ink blended Catherine Pooler's Hot Tub ink on the entire area. Then, I stamped the Background Basics 2 Stamps with Catherine Pooler’s Sea Glass ink.

I masked off the top portion of the panel and then stamped the wood floor image from the Sprawing Surfaces Stamps. I colored the floor with E21, E23, and E25 Copic markers.

Now, with all those layers complete, we can assemble the card! I glued the mint panel to an A2 card base. Then, I added the outside frame, adhering it with thin foam tape. Then, I glued the background panel to the center of the card. And finally, I used more thin foam tape to adhere the inner frame to the card.

Now, we can move on to the main event: the kitties! I stamped the cats, accessories, and sentiment from the Party Pets Stamps with black ink. Then, I colored them in with Copic markers.

Here are the marker colors I used:
Cats: W8, YR24, YR27, N0, N1, N8, N9, R22, R30
Green Areas: YG000, YG00, YG01, YG03, YG05
Blue/Green Areas: BG 11, BG13, BG32
Pink Areas: RV10, RV21, RV23, RV25, R00, R20, R22

I die cut the images and sentiment out with the coordinating die set. I added them to the card using foam squares. To add a little bit of detail, I added 3 Iridescent Clear Jewels.

The card is finished!  I love how the layers make this card unique and eye-catching! Thanks for stopping by the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today! Come back tomorrow for more inspiration!
