Sunny Studio Stamps - Gnome Sweet Gnome

 

Hello friends! Today, I have a fun gnome themed card to share with you using products from Sunny Studio Stamps!  If you have fallen in love with this adorable stamp set and want to add it to your collection, don't delay!  This set is retiring, but still in stock, and as soon as it's sold out, it's gone for good.  Get yours while you can! :)  To create my card, I started off with a piece of white cardstock cut to 4" x5.25".  I cut a piece of computer paper the same size, and diecut a rectangle from the center, creating a stencil or mask of sorts.  I taped them together and used Distress ink in Blueprint Sketch (very lightly) and Rustic Wilderness to ink blend a background for the scene.  Then, I stamped and colored the mushroom trio, two polka dot mushrooms, and the super cute sitting gnome from Gnome Sweet Gnome, all of which I cut out with the coordinating Gnome Sweet Gnome dies.  

I arranged them on the ink blended rectangle, gluing some down with liquid and popping others up with foam tape.  I added a trio of tiny clouds to the sky using the Comic Strip Everyday die set, and scattered on some tiny clay hearts above the little gnome's head.  Then, I stamped a sentiment from the set on a white banner diecut, and popped that up in the grass on my scene.  The entire panel was adhered to an A2 card base with foam tape, and to finish off the card, I added a few white gel pen accents.

That's all for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

Spellbinders Boo Dance Party Collection

 Hello there!  Today, I have a fun and spooky halloween card to share with you using the new Haunted House die set, part of the Boo Dance Party collection from Spellbinders!  It's available now on the Spellbinders website along with so many other amazing new goodies!

To create this card, I started off with a piece of light purple cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25".  I used Distress ink in Wilted Violet, Villianous Potion and Black Soot to add some darker edges around where I wanted my focal point to be.  I then splattered on some clean water, metallic silver watercolor, and some watered down white acrylic paint.  I diecut all of my pieces first.  The house was cut from dark grey cardstock and inked with Black Soot.  The moon was cut from white and inked lightly with Wild Honey Distress ink.  The clouds were cut from light grey cardstock.  I added an orange glow inside the windows and deepened the glow with a darker orange Copic marker.  I added a scattering of tiny clay stars to the sky, some white gel pen accents and some Stickles glitter to the clouds. I used black Nuvo drops to make the tiny ghost's more prominent.  A sentiment from my stash was stamped on the light purple cardstock, and trimmed with my paper trimmer before popping it up with foam tape.  To finish off the card, I added a strip of black and white striped paper to the left edge of an A2 cardbase, and popped the panel up with foam tape.

That's all for me today!  Thanks for stopping by! :)

Sunny Studio Stamps - Summer Greenery

 

Hello friends!  Today, I have a fun, artsy card to share with you using products from Sunny Studio Stamps!  I pulled out my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers that I haven't used in awhile for this one!  To create this card, I started out by diecutting the leaves from the Summer Greenery die set from several different colors of green cardstock and then I inked them with various shades of green Distress ink.  I decided where I wanted the focal point of my card to be and used my Zig Clean Color markers to add some drippy watercolor to that area.  When it was dry, I splattered on some black watercolor leaving the bottom right of the panel white to give the eye a place to rest.  I arranged my leaves and adhered them down with a glue pen.  Then, I stamped and colored one of the cute little elephants from the Baby Elephants stamp set and diecut him with the coordinating Baby Elephants die.  I popped him with up foam tape in the center of the leaf pile.  

I stamped a sentiment from the set in black ink  just below the focal point. For some added interest, I added a strip of striped washi tape the bottom edge of the panel, and trimmed a tiny bit off of the top edge of the panel so that when I mounted it on a light green card base, some of the color would peek out the bottom.  To finish off this card, I added some white gel pen accents and a scattering of green iridescent sequins.

That's all for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

Sunny Studio Stamps - Tropical Trees Backdrop

 

Hello friends! Today, I have a tropical nighttime scene to share with you using products from Sunny Studio Stamps!  I started off by inking a piece of white cardstock cut to 4.25" x 5.5" with Distress inks in Villainous Potion, Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Carved Pumpkin, then I splattered with some clean water and some metallic watercolor to add some extra interest.  I diecut the Tropical Trees Backdrop and a trio of palm trees and clouds from black cardstock and glued everything down with a glue pen.  I added a tiny car from the Comic Strip Everyday die set, which coordinates perfectly with a sentiment from the Country Carnival stamp set.  

To finish off the night sky, I added a scattering of white starts diecut using the Basic Mini Shape Dies II die set and then added some white gel pen accents to the clouds.  This simple card packs a punch with the high contrast of the bright sunset sky and the dark diecuts.

That's all for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

Sunny Studio Stamps - Country Carnival

 

Hello friends! Today, I have a Country Carnival card to share with you using products from Sunny Studio Stamps!  This card is a bit different for me as I normally love bright colors and and lots of white space on my cards, but I decided to make a night scene card with this stamp set.  I started off with a piece of dark blue cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25".  I used a cloud stencil from my stash and some Black Soot Distress Oxide to add some night clouds to the top 2/3 of the panel.  I masked off the bottom and inked along the mask to create the ground.  Then, I splattered on some gold metallic watercolor to add stars to the sky.  I stamped and colored the ferris wheel, some of the little bears and the ticket booth from the Country Carnival stamp set, and diecut them with the coordinating Country Carnival dies.  

The white background of the stamped images was too much contrast for me, so I used a dark blue copic marker to trace around the edges of the images.  I arranged my scene, and adhered it to the panel.  I didn't want sentiment to stand out too much, so I used white pigment ink on the dark cardstock for a more muted sentiment.  Then, I used the Basic Mini Shapes Dies II to add some white stars to the sky.  Finally, I mounted the panel to a dark blue card base.

That's all for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

Sunny Studio Stamps - Designer's Choice

 

Hello friends! Today, I have a fun underwater scene card to share with you  using products from Sunny Studio Stamps!  To create this card, I started by ink blending a panel cut to 3.5" x 5" with Vintage Photo, Peacock Feathers and Salvaged Patina Distress ink.  I splattered on clean water to bleach other some areas along with more ink and watered down acrylic paint to mimic the look of bubbles.  I stamped and images from both the Kiddie Pool and Ocean View stamp set and diecut them with the coordinating Kiddie Pool dies and Ocean View dies.  After finding an arrangement that I liked, I popped the images up on foam tape. 

 The panel was glued to an A2 card base on an angle for some added interest and I stamped a sentiment from the Best Fishes stamp set on a banner and popped it up on the left side of the scene.  To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents and a scattering of bubble embellishments.

That's all for me today!  Thanks for stopping by! :)

Sunny Studio Stamps - Swimming Pool Die

Hello friends! Today, I have a fun summer card to share with you using products from Sunny Studio Stamps!  To create this card, I started off by stenciling some clouds to a piece of A2 sized white cardstock with Salvaged Patina Distress ink.  For the grass in my scene, I used a piece of floral patterned paper from the Sweater Weather 6x6 paper pad.  For some added texture and dimension, I tore the top edge of the paper and inked the edges with Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress ink.  I diecut the pieces of the Swimming Pool die from both grey and aqua cardstock and inked the edges with coordinating ink colors.  I also used the Tropical Trees Backdrop dies to add some palm trees which I cut from white cardstock and inked with Distress ink.

I adhered one down on each side of the pool, leaving room for a sentiment from the Beach Buddies stamp set.  Two adorable kids from the Kiddie Pool stamp set are taking a dip, and there are a trio of birds flying overhead, cut using the Tropical Trees Backdrop dies.  To finish off this card, I added some white gel pen accents and mounted the panel to an A2 card base.

That's all for me today!  Thanks for stopping by! :)

Countdown to Confetti - Dog Days & Dog Days Sentiments

 

Hello there!  Welcome to day 3 of the Countdown to Confetti with Reverse Confetti!  Today, I am featuring what may be one of my  most favorite RC sets ever, Dog Days.  It will be available tomorrow, July 15th in the Reverse Confetti store, along with the rest of the July release, which is pretty darn awesome!

To create my first card, I started off by diecutting the Along the  Dotted Lines Cover Panel from white cardstock.  Then, I used the Circle of Waves Confetti Cuts die to set my scene.  I diecut the circle from white cardstock and used Distress ink in shades of Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch and Vintage Photo to color each wave.  I stamped the adorable little dog with his surf board and the palm tree image and the beach ball from the new Dog Days stamp set, and colored them with my Copic markers before diecutting them with the coordinating Dog Days Confetti Cuts dies.  I also pulled out my Rainy Day Fun stamp set, and stamped and colored a few clouds and the water puddle.

I arranged my images to create the scene and once I was happy with the arrangement, I glue some down flat with a glue pen and popped others up with foam tape.  I stamped a sentiment from the new Dog Days Sentiments stamp set in black ink on white cardstock and popped that up in the top right of the scene.  To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents and some Diamond Stickles to the clouds and puddle.  I also used Glossy Accents on his sunglasses for some added fun.

To create my second card, I stated of by diecutting the new Deco Cover Panel from white cardstock. I used the same shades of Distress ink to add color to the sky.  For the sand, I tore a piece of kraft cardstock, added some Vintage Photo ink to the top, then splattered it with more Vintage Photo and some white acrylic paint to create the look of sand.  I stamped the adorable little dog with his innertube from Dog Days, the clouds, sun  and water puddle from Rainy Day Fun, and then, I pulled out the Let's Shellabrate stamp set.  The sea grass, ropes and seagull are a perfect compliment to the Dog Days stamp set!  There are so many scene building possibilities with them!

I arranged the scene adhering some pieces down with glue and others with foam tape.  A sentiment from Dog Days Sentiments was stamped on a diecut banner and added to the left side of the panel.  To finish off this card, I added white gel pen accents, Diamond Stickles and Glossy Accents to his glasses.

I truly had SO much fun creating this pair of cards! :)

That's all for me today, but be sure to hop along to see what the rest of the crew has to share with you! Comment along the way for a chance to win a RC gift certificate!  See you tomorrow for the hop! :)

Sunny Studio Stamps - Wonky Windows

 

Hello friends!  Today, I have a card to share with you that mixes old and new.  I used the Wonky Windows die from the summer release, and paired it with one of my older Sunny Studio Stamps favorites, Garden Fairy.  To create this card, I started of by diecutting a piece of white cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25" with the Wonky Windows die, which I placed closer to the right side of the panel.  I used distress ink in Shaded Lilac and Blueprint Sketch to ink blend a light to dark ombre going down the front of the panel.  Then, I stamped and colored three fairies and the flowers from the Garden Fairy stamp set, and diecut them with the coordinating Garden Fairy dies.  I backed the panel with a piece of polka dot paper from the Dots and Stripes Pastels 6x6 paper pad. 

I adhered the two together with foam tape to leave a little room to tuck in my images.  To the left of the center opening, I stamped a sentiment from Garden Fairy in black ink, and used Shaded Lilac and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink to stamp the tiny stars scattered about the card front.  Once everything was adhered to the window panel, I added the panel to a white A2 card base.  To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents and Diamond Stickles to the fairies' wings.

That's all for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by! :)

Sunny Studio Stamps - Baby Elephants

 

Hello friends!  Today, I have a girly baby card to share with you using one of my favorites from the Sunny Studio Stamps summer release, Baby Elephants.  To create this card, I used a background that I created awhile back.  When I am feeling uninspired to create a card, I often create watercolor or stenciled backgrounds to use later when my crafty mojo returns!  I used my Zig Clean Color Read Brush markers to watercolor a very pastel background.  It's hard to capture how soft and magical it is.  I used markers in shades of pale pink, peach and light blue, and then I splattered on gold and silver metallic watercolor when the first layer dried.   I stamped and colored my favorite image from Baby Elephants, the elephant on the moon, with copic markers.  Two polka dot clouds were stamped with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide.  

I diecut the images with the coordinating Baby Elephants dies, and popped everything up with foam tape.  I stamped a sentiment from the set on a white banner and tucked that in along the bottom of the focal point.  I popped the panel up on a pale pink card base, and to finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents, Diamond Stickles on the moon and a scattering of tiny pink clay hearts.

That's all for me today! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Sunny Studio Stamps - Designer's Choice

Hello friends! Today, I have a fun summer themed card which mixes older and new stamp sets from Sunny Studio Stamps!  One of my favorite things about Sunny Studio is that all of the products coordinate so well together!  To create this card, I started with a piece of white cardstock cut to 4.25" x 5.5".  I used a cloud stencil from my stash and Tumbled Glass Distress ink to create a cloudy sky.  I stamped a colored the sea and sand image and some clouds from the Ocean View stamp set, then diecut them with the coordinating Ocean View dies.  

Then, I stamped a colored one of the cute seals from the Sealiously Sweet stamp set, along with some additional beach accessories.  The beach ball and flipflops work so well with the Ocean View images!  Those were diecut with the coordinating Sealiously Sweet dies and popped up with foam tape.  I stamped a sentiment from Sealiously Sweet on a diecut banner and popped it up at the to of the scene, and to finish off my card, I added some white gel pen accents to all of the images and Diamond Stickles to the ocean water.

That's all for me today!  Thanks for stopping by! :)

Sunny Studio Stamps - Inside Greetings Congrats

Hello friends!  Today, I have a card to share with you using the Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set, paired with one of my favorites from the Sunny Studio Stamps summer release, Baby Elephants.  My cousin and his wife just welcomed twin boys this week, and I created this card to send to them.  I started off with a piece of white cardstock cut to 4" x 5.25".  I masked off the bottom part of the panel an ink blended the top part with Broken China Distress ink.  I stamped and colored several images from the Baby Elephants stamp set, and diecut them with the coordinating Baby Elephants dies.  I diecut several white clouds using the Tropical Trees Backdrop die set.  They are a great size to use with the elephants. 

 I glued the clouds down flat with a glue pen, then popped the elephants up with foam tape.  A trio of stamped star balloons add some interest to the background.  I also stamped several tiny stars scattered around the background.  In the masked area, I stamped a sentiment from the Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set in black ink.  Before mounting panel up with foam tape, I added a strip of patterned paper from the Dots and Stripes Pastel paper pad.  To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents and some Diamond Stickles to the stamped clouds.

That's all for me today!  Thanks for stopping by! :)

Sunny Studio Stamps - Wedded Bliss

 

Hello friends! Today I have a fun wedding card for you using products from Sunny Studio Stamps!  To create this card, I started off with a piece of white cardstock cut slightly smaller than an A2 size.  I ink blended some Saltwater Taffy Distress ink in the bottom right corner on an angle and faded it out as I move up the panel.  Then, I splattered it with some gold watercolor.  I stamped and colored the adorable penguin pair from Wedded Bliss and diecut them with the coordinating Wedded Bliss dies. 

 To ground the bride and groom, I used a sentiment from the Inside Greetings Congrats sentiment set.  I stamped that in black ink, and popped them up just above it.  To add some more interest to the panel, I used the Icing Borders to add some scallops to both the left and right side of the panel, then added a tiny strip of gold glitter cardstock to each edge to finish it off nicely.  For another touch of gold, I added a trio of tiny hearts using the Basic Mini Shapes Dies 2 die set.  To finish off the card, I added some white gel pen accents and popped the panel up with foam tape on an A2 card base.

That's all for me today!  Thanks for stopping by! :)
