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! :)

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! :)

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.

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.

Sunny Studio Stamps - Lovely Lilacs

 

Hello friends! I am here with a bright and fun floral card using several products from the Sunny Studio Stamps summer release!  To create this card, I started off with a piece of white cardstock cut to 3.75" x 5".  I used Distress inks in Abandoned Coral, Saltwater Taffy and a tiny bit of Squeezed Lemonade in the center and ink blended the background.  I wanted to create a spotlight effect to highlight the sentiment, so the color is stronger in the corners and around the edges and then gets lighter towards to the middle.  I splattered on clean water to bleach out some spots, and splattered on some Abandoned Coral Distress ink for added interest.  Then, I stamped several lilac blooms from the Lovely Lilacs stamp set in shades of light purple, and added light green for the leaves, the diecut them with the Lovely Lilacs Dies. 

Before popping the blooms up with foam tape, I stamped a sentiment from the Inside Greetings Congrats stamp set in the center of the panel in black ink.  I love that these sentiments can be used inside or outside of your card.  Once I popped the lilacs up around the sentiment, I added a trio of stamped butterflies which come from the Watering Can stamp set.  Before mounting the panel to an A2 card base using foam tape, I added some white gel pen accents and some Stickles glitter to the butterfly wings.

Sunny Studio Stamps - Fabulous Flamingos

 

Hello friends!  Today, I have a card to share with you using one of my favorite Sunny Studio stamp sets, Fabulous Flamingos!  I love the images in this set so much.  Flamingos are one of my favorite animals, and although I've had this set for awhile, this is the first time I am getting to use it!  To create this card, I started off by ink blending a tropical sky background directly onto an A2 white card base using Distress ink in Salt Water Taffy and Squeezed Lemonade.  I concentrated the yellow in the center, then overlapped the Saltwater Taffy and blended the ink softer as I worked down the panel, eventually fading into white.  Then, I stamped and colored several images from the Fabulous Flamingos stamp set with copic markers and diecut them with the coordinating Fabulous Flamingos Dies.
