Sunny Studio Stamps 4th Birthday Blog Hop

21.09.2019

Hi everyone,

today I have the pleasure to be part of a special Blog Hop as we are celebrating the 4th Birthday of Sunny Studio Stamps.


The Sneak Peek Week for the upcoming Holiday 2019 Release kicks off today as well. The official release date is on September 27th, but in honor of the 4th birthday the new products will be available as a PRE-ORDER today.

You don't want to miss these offers: free shipping within the USA and a mini light bulb die on all orders (or a $4 discount + a free mini light bulb die on international orders) + a free enamel pin on orders over $50 through September 30th.




Now on to the Blog Hop – you should have arrived from Juliana's blog. You can find the full list of participants at the bottom of this post. And there's also a GIVEAWAY waiting for you!

I created this happy winter scene combining the new Feeling Frosty Stamps and Scenic Route Stamps.

Here's a closer look at the two stamp sets which work perfectly together and make scene building fun and easy:

I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. Aren't these snowmen and little houses just the cutest?! I used the Feeling Frosty Dies and Scenic Route Dies (which only cut the top of the images) to cut everything out.

For the background, I picked a snowfall paper from the Holiday Cheer 6x6 Paper pack. I stamped one of the sentiments in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

I adhered the row of houses to the back and popped up the snowy hills and snowmen with foam tape to create dimension.



Your next stop at the hop is Candice, who happens to be the newest addition to our design team :-)

Make sure to hop along as we're giving away a $25 gift code to the Sunny Studio store at each stop of the hop.

Hello Bluebird • September Release • Team Share Day 4

20.09.2019

Hello everyone,

it's the final day of the Hello Bluebird September Release Team Share and I'm highlighting the Fall Banner Buddies set.

I love this beautiful autumn wreath which I heat embossed with gold embossing powder on a piece of Bristol cardstock. I also stamped the adorable squirrel in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. The embossing helps with staying inside the lines when doing watercoloring. I used the Altenew watercolors which are so vibrant and creamy.

I cut out the images with the coordinating dies. In addition, I die cut two more wreaths from cardstock for more sturdiness and height. I adhered a piece of brown cardstock, which I had stamped with the Old Oak Background, behind the wreath.

Next, I gold heat embossed one of the Banner Blessings sentiments and added golden splatters with a paint brush all over the panel.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope you love this amazing release as much as I do!

Hello Bluebird • September Release • Team Share Day 3

19.09.2019

Hi peeps,

for the third day of the Hello Bluebird September Release Team Share I created another cute Halloween card. This time I'm showcasing the Little Haunters Stamps and the Boo to You Words Die which are a perfect match!

I never tried ink blending on colored cardstock before but I wanted to darken the edges of this Stampin' Up! Gorgeous Grape cardstock. I went with Wilted Violet and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks and carefully blended them in from the outside.

Next, I cut the large Boo to You Words Die from SU Granny Apple Green cardstock and once from black cardstock. The black splatters weren't done with paint but with a rubber stamp from the SU Gorgeous Grunge set instead. I used VersaFine Black Onyx ink for a crisp black impression. I layered both die cuts on top of each other and shifted them a bit to create the look of a shadow.

I colored the images with Copics and cut them out with the coordinating dies. The sentiment was white heat embossed on a small strip of black cardstock. I finished off my card by adding three star sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope to see you tomorrow!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Fall Release • Just Bee-cause

Hello friends,

today I'm featuring the adorable Sunny Studio Stamps Just Bee-cause 2x3 mini stamp set. It works perfectly with the Frilly Frames Hexagon Dies.

I used both dies together and cut the scalloped hexagon design from yellow cardstock. I layered it on top of a piece of patterned paper from the Heroic Halftones Paper pack.

Next, I die cut a circle from Bristol paper and did some ink blending with Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks. I added two stitched clouds using the Fluffy Clouds Dies. To make them lighter, I carefully applied white pigment ink with a sponge dauber. I die cut one of the Fancy Frames Circle Dies and adhered it to the sky background circle.

I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a strip of black cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Finally, I adhered the framed circle and images with foam tape and tucked the sentiment strip under the beehive.


Thank you so much for stopping by! May your day BEE awesome!

Hello Bluebird • September Release • Team Share Day 2

18.09.2019

Hello there,

it's day 2 of the Hello Bluebird September Release Team Share and I have a Halloween card for you featuring Tabitha, the cutest cat-loving witch ever!

I started off with creating a colorful sunset background with Nuvo Shimmer Powders. The colors used are Violet Brocade, Cherry Bomb and Solar Flare. I stamped the images, did some Copic coloring and cut them out with the coordinating dies.

Next, I die cut the Halloween Tree from grey cardstock and one of the Grassy Knoll Dies from black cardstock. I white heat embossed the sentiment, added tiny stars and assembled my Halloween scene.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a purr-fect day!

Hello Bluebird • September Release • Team Share Day 1

17.09.2019

Hi everyone,

last Friday the Hello Bluebird September Release went live. It is jam-packed with the cutest Fall and Halloween stamp and dies! The design team will post inspiration projects for the next few days.

On day 1 of the team share I combined the Leaf Play and Pumpkin Time stamps to build this fall scene with the most adorable woodland critters.

First, I did some ink blending with my beloved Distress Oxide Inks (Chipped Sapphire, Peacock Feathers, Broken China, Cracked Pistachio and Evergreen Bough) to create the background. When it was completely dry, I added ink splatters with a paint brush. Next, I white heat embossed the sentiment.

I stamped the images (I especially love the mole and the hedgehog) and colored them with Copics. I wanted to create a fun little party in the woods where the critters are dancing and enjoy the falling leaves. Finally, I randomly added a couple of Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you tomorrow for more inspiration :-)

Sunny Studio Stamps • Fall Release • Sunflower Fields

12.09.2019

Hi everyone,

today I'm showcasing the Sunny Studio Stamps Sunflower Fields Stamps which is another awesome layering stamp set.

I started with a light aqua A2 card base and did some gradient ink blending on a piece of textured watercolor paper. The three Distress Oxide Ink colors I used are Wilted Violet, Dusty Concord and Milled Lavender. I cut out the panel with a stitched rectangle die which is included in the Frilly Frames Retro Petals set. I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink in the bottom right corner and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.

Next, I stamped all the layers of the sunflower, leaves and bees (can you see how small those are?!). You can find all the inks I used listed below. I cut out the images with the coordinating dies and adhered them to my card. I popped up the sunflower and bees with foam tape. To finish it off, I added golden glitter enamel dots and Nuvo Jewel Drops in the color Pale Periwinkle.

Dye Inks used (all inks by Altenew and *MFT)
Sunflower: Buttercream, Warm Sunshine, *Lemon Drop, Caramel Toffee, 
Paper Bag, Dark Chocolate, *Chocolate Brown
Leaves: Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, *Field Day, Evergreen
Honey Bees: Warm Sunshine, *Chocolate Brown, Dew Drop

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope your day is full of sunshine!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Fall Release • Lots of Dots

05.09.2019

Hello everyone,

today's card features the Sunny Studio Stamps Lots of Dots Embossing Folder. It's perfect to add some texture to your projects like I did with my background.

First, I did an ink blended background with Distress Oxides in warm autumn colors (Ripe Persimmon, Carved Pumpkin, Wild Honey, Mustard Seed and Scattered Straw). I flicked on some water droplets with a paint brush. When everything was completly dry, I ran the panel through my die-cutting machine using the embossing folder. I also added a couple random sparkly splatters.

Next, I stamped the sweet hedgehog, the tree and fall leaves from the Woodsy Autumn set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out.

For the grass, I cut a strip of one of the green Heroic Halftones 6x6 Papers and used the grass border die from the Comic Strip Everyday Die set. I sponged on a little Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Ink. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I also adhered a little die-cut heart to the right.

Finally, I assembled my card and applied some Nuvo Golden Sunset Glitter Drops.


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