Hi everyone,

today I'm highlighting the Sunny Studio Stamps Seasonal Trees set which is perfect for scenes all year round. There are trees for every season as well as some fun little accessory images. The possibilities are endless.

I created a scene combining the summer tree, birdhouse, log, apple and birdies with the Home Sweet Gnome Stamps.

I started off with an A2 card base made from light grey cardstock and cut a white mat using the stitched scalloped die from the Frilly Frames Stripes set. Next, I did some blending with Distress Oxide Inks for the sky (Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean) and grass (Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn). To create the grassy borders I used a die from the Comic Strip Everyday set. I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and white heat embossed it.

I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I also die cut two clouds with the Fluffy Clouds Dies to complete my scene. I adhered all images and popped some of them up with foam tape. A small red heart finished off the card which I truly enjoyed creating.

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

Hello Bluebird • June Release

Hi peeps,

it's almost time to shop the Hello Bluebird June Release – the new products will be available at 7:00 pm MST.

This release is jam-packed with adorable critters, fun summer-themed stamps and unique dies. The DT created gorgeous inspiration projects for the four Preview Days. 

Preview Day 1 – Strawberry Jam and Field Mice 

These two stamp sets are designed to work perfectly together! I especially love the strawberry vine frame cut out die and all the little accessories (that tiny knife though)!

I stamped the images, colored them with Copics and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. In the background, I did some ink blending with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. The blanket was die cut from dotty patterned paper. I stamped the sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black ink in the right bottom corner. For some dimension, I adhered the strawberry vine frame with foam tape.

Preview Day 2 – Seaside Girls 

For this card, I created a little beach scene with one of the cute girls, the seagulls and the grab. I also combined parts of the Ocean Scene Die and the Gallery Frame #4 Die.

I colored the images with Copics and cut them out with the coordinating dies. The sand and wave die-cuts were colored/sponged with Distress Oxide Inks (sand: Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap; waves, Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers). For the sky, I used the cloud border from the scene builder die set as a stencil. I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with Liquid Platinum embossing powder. The pinked frame was cut from navy cardstock and adhered with foam tape.


Preview Day 3 – Storybook Friends

How adorable are these storybook-like images?! The background scene is really special and adds to the whimsical look.

Everything is colored with Copics and cut out with the coordinating dies. I really like this beautiful friendship sentiment which I stamped in the middle of the background scene with VersaFine Onyx Black ink.


Preview Day 4 – More Jungle Littles

Oh, how I love this new addition of incredibly cute critters! Of course they go well with the original Jungle Littles set.

First, I created an ink blended background with Distress Oxide Inks (Scattered Straw, Carved Pumpkin, Ripe Persimmon, Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire). I'm really pleased with the result! Next, I die cut the Wild About You Words four times from cream cardstock and stacked the layers on top of each other to create dimension. I colored the images with Copics and cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I hope you enjoyed these cards as much as I did when I was creating them. You can find even more DT samples over on the Hello Bluebird blog.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy shopping ;-)

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Silly Sloths

Hello everyone,

today I'm happy to share a birthday card over on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog featuring the most adorable Silly Sloths Stamps. Aren't they cute?!

First, I created an A2 card base from white cardstock and adhered a piece of the cloudy sky paper from the Summer Splash 6x6 Paper pack. I stamped the sloths and greenery in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copics. I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out.

Next, I stamped the sentiments in VersaMark Ink onto strips of black cardstock and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. Finally, I assembled the card and added two red die-cut hearts.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope to see you again next week!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Frilly Frames

Hello everyone,

today, I'm highlighting the Sunny Studio Stamps Frilly Frames Chevron Dies. I combined this versatile 2-piece die set with the Fabulous Flamingos Stamps.

It's always fun to try new color combos, so I picked some bright and fresh colors for my summer birthday card. I started off with an A2 card base made from white cardstock. I used both dies together and cut the pinked frame with the chevron pattern from blush pink cardstock. Then I used the chevron die and cut it from three other cardstock colors. I repeatedly inlaid the chevrons into the blush pink die-cut.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating Fabulous Flamingos Dies to cut them out. The sentiment is included in the Party Pups Stamps set and I stamped it in VersaMark Ink on a thin black cardstock strip and white heat embossed it. To finish off my card, I adhered three matching enamel dots.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a lovely day!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Slice of Summer

Hi peeps,

I can't wait for summer and a yummy piece of fresh watermelon. Until then I enjoy creating with the Sunny Studio Stamps Slice of Summer set.

First, I made a simple watercolor background using Nuvo Atlantis Burst Shimmer Powder. I combined both dies from the Frilly Frames Stripes Dies set and cut it from white cardstock. I love this diagonal striped design and that you still can see enough of the background underneath.

Next, I stamped the lemon, watermelon and lime using dye inks from several companies (you can find the used ink colors below). To make the watermelon seeds look glossy, I embossed them with clear embossing powder. I used the coordinating dies to cut the fruits out.

I also created a tablecloth using purple gingham paper from the Gingham Pastels 6x6 Paper pack and a white Fancy Frames Square die-cut. For a little dimension, I popped up the fruits with foam tape. Finally, I white heat embossed the sentiment from the Fabulous Flamingos set and adhered some sparkling clear sequins in different sizes.

Dye Inks used

Lemon: Hero Arts Lemon Yellow, MFT Daffodil

Watermelon: Altenew Pink Pearl, Coral Bliss, Heart Beat; 

MFT Limelight, Green Room and SU Shaded Spruce

Lime: MFT Limelight, Altenew Parrot

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a sunny day!
