Sunny Studio Stamps - Paris Afternoon

 



Hello friends!   My card today uses the adorable Paris Afternoon stamp set from Sunny Studio Stamps, paired with the fun Critters on the Go stamp set!  I just love mixing and matching sets to stretch my stamps and create new and different scenes.  To create this card, I started off by masking off the bottom 1/3 of a white card panel cut the 4" x 5.25".  I blended above the mask with Spun Sugar Distress ink, and flipped the mask and inked below it with Hickory Smoke Distress ink.  I splattered on clean water to bleach out some spots and add more interest.  Then, I stamped the Eiffel Tower and one of the poodles from Paris Afternoon, and one of the scooters from Critters on the Go.  Everything was colored with Copic markers and diecut with the coordinating dies.

To fill the sky above the scene, I stamped a sentiment from Paris Afternoon, and added a trio of clouds using the Comic Strip Every Day dies.  Before mounting it to an A2 card base, I added a piece of striped washi tape to the right edge.  To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents and some tiny clay hearts.

Sunny Studio Stamps - Critters on the Go

 


Hello Friends! I am here to share a bright and happy birthday card using products from Sunny Studio Stamps.  To create my card, I started off with a piece of white cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25". I masked off the bottom 1/3 of the panel and used a cloud stencil from my stash along with some Broken China Distress ink to add some clouds to my sky.  Then, I reversed the mask and used some Mowed Lawn Distress ink to add some grass to the panel.  I stamped and colored the little dog and one of the scooters from Critters on the Go and diecut them with the coordinating Critters on the Go dies.

I knew I wanted to make this a birthday card, so I pulled out the Heart Bouquet stamp set and colored the balloons in a bunch of bright colors, then diecut them with the Heart Bouquet dies.  I stamped a sentiment from Critters on the go onto a white banner die cut, and popped that up under the little scene.  To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents and a scattering of yellow stars die cut using the Basic Mini Shapes II dies.  Finally, I mounted the panel on a piece of fun striped paper from the Rainbow Bright 6x6 paper pad.

My cards today feature my favorites from the release!  First up, this card uses images from the new Better with Friends and Picnic Pals stamp sets.  They pair perfectly together and provide great scene building elements for all of the other Reverse Confetti critters!  To create this card, I started off by a piece of white cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25".  I used Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn Distress ink to ink blend the sky and grass for my scene.  For the tree top, I used the Head in the Clouds Cover Panel which I cut to fit the top of the panel.  The tree trunk and nest are part of the Picnic Pals set and the bunny, flowers and bee are from the Better with Friends set.  Everything was colored with Copic markers and diecut with the coordinating Picnic Pals Confetti Cuts and Better with Friends Confetti Cuts dies.

March7c

I glued the tree trunk down with a glue pen and popped everything else up with foam tape.  I added white gel pen accents and before mounting the panel to an A2 card base, I added a strip of patterned paper to the left edge of the panel.

March7d

My second card uses the free gift with purchase, Dot to Dot, to create a background for my scene.  I used several pastel shades of Distress Oxide inks for the dots, and then inked around the edges with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide.  To ground the bunnies from Better with Friends, I added a strip of patterned paper to the bottom edge of the panel.  I diecut the new Egg Carton Confetti Cuts from kraft cardstock and inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  The eggs were cut from white cardstock and inked with Distress Ink as well. 

March7a

I stamped the egg with the bow from the previously released Hop Into Spring stamp set, and diecut it with the coordinating Hop Into Spring Confetti Cuts dies.  The bunnies, flowers and bee were stamped from the Better with Friends stamp set and diecut with the Better With Friends Confetti Cuts dies.  I stamped a sentiment from the new Springtime Sentiments stamp set in black ink.  To finish off my card, I added some white gel pen accents and mounted the panel to an A2 card base.

For  my first card, I started off with a piece of white cardstock cut with the Brilliance Cover Panel.  Then, I diecut the new Big Egg Confetti Cuts die pieces from white cardstock and inked the solid egg with Spun Sugar Distress Ink before adhering the striped egg on top.  I stamped two of  the floral clusters from the new Friendly Florals stamp set and diecut them with the coordinating Friendly Florals Confetti Cuts dies.

I used the large sentiment from the Friendly Florals stamp set to add a sentiment, and to finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents to the smaller dots and a scattering of tiny clay  hearts.

My first card today showcases the gift with purchase, along with the new Sending Smiles stamp set and coordinating dies!  To create my card, I started by diecutting the new Layered Mom with Frame die set from black and white cardstock.  I stamped the white inside of the frame with Dot to Dot, and splattered it with black watercolor.  I adhered the black frame to a coral card base, and inset the stamped panel.  Then, I stamped the outline flower and leaves from Sending Smiles stamp set in black ink, and filled them in with several colors of ink in bright, happy colors. 

March 5a

I diecut the flowers and leaves with the coordinating Sending Smiles Confetti Cuts, and popped them up on the left side of the card front.  I popped the flower centers up with an extra layer of foam tape.  Then, I stamped a sentiment from the same set onto a white banner diecut, and tucked that underneath the center flower.  To finish off this card, I added some white gel pen accents.

March 5b

My next card features the new Big Sun Confetti Cuts die, and Springtime Sentiments stamp set.  I started off by diecutting the Along the Dotted Lines Cover Panel cut from white cardstock.  Then, I diecut the Big Sun from yellow cardstock twice, and created a shaker with yellow iridescent sequins.  I pulled out the previously released Bear Up There stamp set, and stamped the bear and rainbow and a few clougs from the set.  They were colored with Copic markers and diecut using the coordinating Bear Up There Confetti Cuts dies.  

March 5c

I diecut the Head in the Clouds Cover Panel from white cardstock and inked the cloud portion lightly with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and popped it up on the card panel.  The bear was tucked behind the clouds and the two smaller clouds were popped up with foam tape.  I stamped a Springtime Sentiment on a white banner and popped that up with foam tape also.  To finish off this card, I added some white gel pen accetns and a scattering of tiny clay hearts.

March 5d

Sunny Studio Stamps - Out on a Limb




 Hello friends! Today, I have a fun card to share with you using the Out on a Limb die set, which pairs perfectly with the newly released Little Birdie stamp set, both from Sunny Studio Stamps.  To create my card, I started off with a piece of white cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25".  I used a cloud stencil from my stash and some Broken China Distress Ink to add a sky to the left top 2/3 of the panel, fading the clouds out toward the right and bottom of the panel.  I diecut the branch from the Out on a Limb die set from woodgrain cardstock and inked it with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  The leaves were cut from green cardstock and inked with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink.  

SS Out on a Limb

I glued them down with a glue pen, and stamped and colored images from the Little Birdie stamp set, which I then diecut with the coordinating Little Birdie dies.  I arranged my scene, and adhered some elements flat and popped others up with foam tape.  Before popping the panel up on an A2 card base, I added a strip of red heart paper from the Rainbow Bright 6x6 paper pad.  To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents and a few tiny clay hearts for some added pops of red.
