Hi everyone,

today's colorful card features the Crisp Autumn Stamps and a special die cutting technique.

The bright color scheme was inspired by the beautiful Sweater Weather 6x6 Papers. This means, I added aqua, pink and blue to the traditional fall colors. I created an A2 card base from white cardstock and cut out the blue leafy paper with a slightly smaller rectangle die.

I stamped all layers of the leaves and pumpkins with dye inks (you can find the ink colors below) and the help of a stamp positioning tool. I cut them out with the coordinating dies. 

Next, I did the "Die cuts within larger die" technique. Therefore, I arranged the die cuts on a circle and put a piece of masking paper on top to keep everything in place. Then I run it through my die-cutting machine with a regular circle die. I flipped it over and added foam tape to the back of the die cuts. I adhered it to a white cardstock cirle before carefully removing the masking paper. I trimmed off a bit from the right side and lined it up with the patterned paper.

The scripty sentiment was stamped in dark blue, cut out with the matching die and I adhered it using liquid glue. Finally, I added three White Diamond Jewels to embellish the card.

Altenew Dye Inks used:
Orange pumpkins: Sunkissed, Orange Cream, Autumn Blaze
Green pumpkins: Minty Mint, Sweet Leaf, Just Green
Pumpkin stems: Forest Glades, Evergreen
Yellow leaves: Buttercream, Warm Sunshine, Caramel Toffee
Green leaves: Bamboo, Parrot, Olive
Pink leaves: Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious, Rubellite, Razzleberry
Aqua leaves: Mountain Mist,Volcano Lake, Lagoon, Emerald
Sentiment: Sapphire

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Teacher Appreciation

Hello everyone,

the school year is coming to an end in a few weeks and I love the idea of creating Thank You cards for teachers, especially during this pandemic. The Teacher Appreciation set is full of wonderful sentiments which will work for other occasions and people as well. I combined it with the Color My World Stamps, one of the cute Beach Buddies and the gorgeous Chloe Alphabet Dies.

I started off with a light aqua A2 card base and die cut a mat from white cardstock using the stitched rectangle included in the Frilly Frames Retro Petals Die set. I stamped five colored pencils using dye inks (you can find the ink colors below) and cut them out with the coordinating die.

With the help of masking, I gave the little bunny some glasses. I used Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and did some coloring with Copic Markers. I cut him out with the matching die.

Next, I stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the card with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it in silver. I spelled out the word 'thanks' by die cutting the individual letters from shiny rainbow mirror cardstock. I adhered them over the heat embossed sentiment and added a couple of silver paperclips below.

Finally, I popped up the colored pencils and the bunny with foam tape for a bit of dimension.

  Dye Inks used for all pencils:
Wood: MFT In the Buff and Biscotti, Altenew Caramel Toffee
Metal Piece: SSS Fog, Lawn Fawn Manatee
Eraser: Altenew Cotton Candy and Coral Berry

Pencils (Altenew Dye Inks):

Purple: Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields, Deep Iris

Pink: Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious, Rubellite

Yellow: Buttercream, Warm Sunshine, Sunkissed

Green: Bamboo, Parrot, Olive

Aqua: Dew Drop, Aqualicious, Teal Cave

I'm so excited! The new Sunny Studio Stamps Summer Release is jam-packed with lots of fun and cute products. My first project features the Color My World Stamps.

Next, I cut out the crayons with the coordinating die and lined them up on the right edge of the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Over The Rainbow set in VersaMark Ink onto a white cardstock strip and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. I popped it up with foam tape and added Iridescent Jewels to finish off the card.

Sunny Studio Stamps • Spring Release • Layered Basket

Hi everyone,

Easter is only one month away, so I created a card for this occasion with the Layered Basket Stamps. Of course I filled the basket with a bunch of colorful Easter eggs using the Eggs To Dye For Stamps.

I started off with a light grey A2 card base and die cut the diagonal striped background (Frilly Frames Stripes Dies) along with the stitched rectangle (Frilly Frames Retro Petals Dies) out of white cardstock.

Next, I stamped the layers of the basket and eggs with dye inks (you can find the ink colors below) and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink onto a purple cardstock strip and heat embossed it in white. I also heat embossed the bow from the Lovable Llama set in silver and added it to the basket. Finally, I adhered everything with liquid glue.

Dye Inks used

Basket: Simon Says Stamp Fog, MFT Cement Gray

Eggs (Altenew inks): pink – Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious; yellow – Mango Smoothie, Warm Sunshine;
mint – Minty Mint, Sweet Leaf; green – Bamboo, Parrot; aqua – Dew Drops, Aqualicious;
purple – Lavender Fields, Deep Iris

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Spring Release • Captivating Camellias

Hi everyone,

today's card features the Captivating Camellias layering stamps and I was inspired by the 2021 Pantone Colors of the Year – a beautiful combo of grey and yellow.

First, I created a more narrow card base out of grey cardstock which measures 4.125" x 6.25". I trimmed a white cardstock panel to be slightly smaller and adhered it to the card base. Next, I used one of the Slimline Pennants Dies and cut it from polka dot paper included in the Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 Paper pack.

I stamped all the layers of the camellias and leaves with dye inks (you can find the ink colors below) and the help of a stamp positioning tool. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and build a cluster which I adhered onto the banner. For a little dimension, I adhered the large flower with foam tape.

For the sentiment, I die cut the scripty word 'hello' from the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies set out of silver glitter cardstock. I also stamped the word 'friend' (Foxy Christmas Stamps) in VersaMark Ink onto a small grey cardstock strip and heat embossed it in white. I finished off the card by adding three yellow glitter enamel dots.

Dye Inks used

Camellias: Altenew Buttercream, Mango Smoothie, Warm Sunshine, Sunkissed

Leaves: Simon Says Stamp Fog, MFT Cement Gray, Simon Says Stamp Smoke

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Fall/Winter Release • Retro Ornaments

Hi everyone,

today I'm featuring the Retro Ornaments Stamps from another great layering stamp set. I tried to use it in a more modern way with a different color scheme. I really like non-traditional colors like pink and turquoise for Christmas.

I started off with a card base that measures 4.5" x 5.75" and also cut an extra white cardstock panel to the same size. To create a frame, I used the stitched die from the Frilly Frames Herringbone Die set. I covered the front of the card with one of the Subtle Grey Tones papers.

Next, I stamped the layered ornaments with dye inks (you can find the colors listed below). For the hanger thingies at the top, I did some heat embossing with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the ornaments.

Of course, I needed something to attach them to, so I stamped a couple of pine tree sprigs from the Classy Christmas set in green inks mixing the shades directly on the stamp. I cut them out with the matching dies and arranged them to a cluster that stretches over the top of the card.

I attached shiny aqua strings to the ornaments and adhered them to the card background. I heat embossed the sentiment from the Surfing Santa set with Liquid Platinum as well. For some dimension, I popped up the sprigs and the white frame with foam tape. To finish off my card, I added two mirrored stars as embellishments.

Altenew Dye Inks used

pink ornament: Pinkalicious, Rubellite
turquoise ornament: Dew Drop, Aqualicious, Teal Cave

patterned ornament: Cotton Candy, Ruby Red, Galactic Stream

pine tree sprigs: Sweet Leaf, Just Green, Hunter Green

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Radiant Plumeria

Hello everyone,

today I have a tropical summer card for you showcasing the beautiful Radiant Plumeria layering stamp set.

First, I worked on the background by cutting the Frilly Frames Herringbone Die from heavyweight cardstock to create my own stencil. I mixed some white embossing paste with the Distress Oxide colors Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers. I temporarily adhered the stencil over a piece of white cardstock and partially applied the paste through it. I tried to blend the colors with the spatula and carefully removed the stencil. I added some ink splatters with a paint brush and set the panel away to dry.

Next, I stamped the plumeria blossoms and leaves using dye inks (find the ink colors below) and used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. I did some ombré stamping on the word 'Summer' (which I fussy cut) and clear embossed it as well as the word 'hello'.

I assembled my card by putting the stenciled background panel on an A2 aqua card base. I used double-sided tape and foam squares to adhere the stamped images and the sentiment. Finally, I embellished the card with three pink enamel dots and added a bit of Platinum Stickles to the plumeria centers.

Altenew Dye Inks used

Plumerias: Cotton Candy, Pinkalicious;
Buttercream, Mango Smoothie, Sunkissed, Autumn Blaze

Leaves: Sweet Leaf, Just Green, MFT Field Day

Monstera Leaf: Just Green, MFT Field Day, Evergreen

Summer sentiment: Pinkalicious, Rubellite, Razzleberry

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Potted Rose

Hi everyone,

today's floral card features another gorgeous layering stamp set. The new Potted Rose Stamps can be combined with the Everything's Rosy Stamps and I really like the terracotta pot.

I started off with a white card base which is slightly smaller than the standard A2 size. I created a frame from light grey cardstock by combining the largest of the Stitched Arch Dies with the stitched rectangle die from the Frilly Frames Retro Petals set.

Next, I stamped the roses, leaves and the flower pot with dye inks (find the ink colors below) and the help of a stamp positioning tool. I used the coordinating Potted Rose Dies and Everything's Rosy Dies to cut everything out. For some dimension, I layered the die cuts and used several heights of foam squares to adhere them. The frame was popped up with foam tape as well. Finally, I white heat embossed the sentiment from the Love Monkey set onto a black cardstock strip.

Altenew Dye Inks used

Roses: Cotton Candy, Coral Berry, Ruby Red, Grapevine

Leaves: Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Evergreen

Terracotta Pot: Sunkissed, Simon Says Stamp Melon, Caramel Toffee

Thank you so much for stopping by! Hope your day is awesome!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Spring Release • Blooming Frame

Hello everyone,

today I'm back with a floral Thank You card using the Sunny Studio Stamps Blooming Frame Die along with the beautiful Pink Peonies Stamps.

I started with the background by ink blending the Distress Oxides Spun Sugar, Milled Lavender and Wilted Violet onto some Bristol cardstock. I also added a couple of ink splatters with a paint brush.

Next, I die cut the Blooming Frame Die from white heavyweight cardstock using an extra metal shim in my die cutting machine due to the intricate details. I wanted to create a frame design, so I also die cut a rectangle window out of the center. I love how you can see the ink blended background behind the die-cut.

I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Greetings set in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. For my floral cluster, I stamped the peonies and leaves in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. This helps staying inside the lines while watercoloring. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images and arranged them at the bottom left corner of the rectangle window. I used foam tape to pop up the peonies and tucked the leaves behind them. Finally, I adhered some matching sequins and added tiny dots of Nuvo Fairy Wings Dream Drops.

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Spring Release • Cheerful Daisies

Hi everyone,

I can't wait for Spring to finally arrive and I'm looking forward to all the blooms and fresh colors popping up everywhere. With this in mind, I created today's card featuring the Sunny Studio Stamps  Cheerful Daisies.

First, I created a watercolor background with Nuvo Shimmer Powders (yellow: Solar Flare, pink: Cherry Bomb). I let it dry completely and stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink. I heat embossed the word 'happy' with gold embossing powder and did the word 'Spring' in bright pink. I adhered the panel to a yellow A2 card base.

Next, I stamped the daisies in light grey (to make them look like they'd be white) and the centers in yellow. The leaves were stamped with three shades of green (find all the ink colors listed below). I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. I adhered the leaves and large flower with liquid glue and popped up the two other daisies with foam tape. To finish off my card, I added some Rainbow Pearls.

Dye Inks used

Daisies: Simon Says Stamp Fog; Altenew Buttercream, Mango Smoothie and Warm Sunshine

Leaves: Altenew Bamboo, Parrot and Olive

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Hedgey Holidays

Hello everyone,

today I'm sharing a special card with you showcasing the exclusive Sunny Studio Stamps Hedgey Holidays mini stamp set which is part of the ongoing Black Friday promo (find all details in the graphic below).

I combined this cutie with one of the over-sized Season's Greetings sentiments. I did a snowy background using the Emboss Resist technique. Therefore, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink onto Distress Watercolor Cardstock and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I applied Distress Oxide Inks (Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch and a tiny bit of Black Soot) over the heat embossed sentiment creating a blue gradient. For the snow, I splattered on lots of white paint with a brush.

Next, I stamped the images in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. I did some coloring with Altenew watercolors and cut out the images with the coordinating dies. I popped up the hedgehog with foam tape and adhered Peppermint Confetti clay embellishments to finish off my card.

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

Hello Bluebird • September Release • Team Share Day 4

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!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Fall Release • Sunflower Fields

Hi everyone,

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.

Sunny Studio Stamps • Fall Release • Elegant Leaves

Hello everyone,

I'm sharing a card made with the beautiful Elegant Leaves Stamps. Of course this set can be used for Fall projects but since we're in the middle of a hot summer, I decided to go with non-traditional colors.

I started off with a white A2 card base and randomly stamped the solid images in aqua, peach and light grey as well as the little branches in navy. On top I stamped the outline leaves image in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed them with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder.

Next, I diagonally stamped the word "Grateful" onto white cardstock with navy ink and VersaMark Ink before clear heat embossing it. I cut the panel apart and lastly adhered it with foam tape over my stamped design.

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

Hello Bluebird • Background Bash • Day 2

Hi again,

For Day 2 of the Hello Bluebird Background Bash, I'm sharing a fall-themed card where I used the gorgeous Cozy Plaid Background. And don't forget, that the release of 6 new background stamps will go live tomorrow on Friday, July 26th! The older designs will be restocked, too!

This plaid pattern works just perfect for fall projects and I stamped it with Altenew "Autumn Blaze" dye ink onto cream cardstock. I did a simple card layout by combining the plaid with beautiful wine red cardstock and a strip of navy/white patterned paper.

The adorable critters and autumn leaves are from the Fall Buddies set. I colored the squirrel, pumpkin and mouse with Prismacolor pencils. The leaves were watercolored with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. Finally, I stamped the sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black on a piece of kraft cardstock which I adhered with foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great evening!

Hello Bluebird • Background Bash • Day 1

Hello everyone,

I have some exciting news for you – Hello Bluebird will be releasing 6 new background stamps on Friday, July 26th! We're doing a fun Background Bash sharing our DT cards using previously released and brand-new backgrounds.

For my baby card, I picked one of my all time favorites which is the Country Gingham Background Stamp.

First, I stamped the gingham pattern in Altenew "Dew Drop" dye ink. I also silver heat embossed the sentiment from the Cheery Greetings set. Although it's not visible on the photo, I used the die-cut overlay technique. This means, I used the coordinating die of this cute giraffe from the More Jungle Littles set and cut it out of the gingham background. I stamped the giraffe using the negative as a guide and colored it with Copics. I layered the gingham panel over the image and adhered it with foam tape.

To finish off this CAS card, I die cut the 'hello' word die (Gallery Frame #1 set) from teal cardstock and adhered it between the giraffe and the embossed sentiment.

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you tomorrow with another sample!

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!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Sweater Vest Dies • Aloha

Hello again,

today I'm up on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog with a summer project using the Sweater Vest Dies. Of course these dies are perfect for fall and winter or the upcoming Father's Day, but I transformed it into a summer top. Do you know these fun Hawaii shirts with colorful floral prints? I tried to create something similar in stamping a pattern with the beautiful Hawaiian Hibiscus Stamps.

I did a lot of masking and stamping for this floral pattern. First, I cut some masks out of full sticky notes using the coordinating hibiscus flower die. I adhered them to a piece of white cardstock and did some ink blending with Distress Oxide Inks (Blueprint Sketch, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean) over it. It's always amazing when you peel off the masks and the crisp edges are revealed.

Next, I stamped all the layers of the hibiscus flowers (you can find the used ink colors below). I die cut the trimmings from yellow cardstock and gold heat embossed the sentiment.

Altenew Dye Inks used

Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious, Rubellite, Razzleberry, Warm Sunshine

Sunny Studio Stamps • Therm O Web Product Swap

Hello everyone,

today I have the honor to be part of this week's product swap with Therm O Web.

For the first time I tried Foiling with Deco Foil Transfer Sheets. I love the shine that it adds to the project, but it's not easy to capture in the photo.

I used three widths of double-sided adhesive tape and adhered them at an angle on a panel of white cardstock leaving a gap inbetween each strip. Next, I cut a piece of "Rose Gold" foil to be slightly larger and put it on top of the exposed adhesive with the silver coated side facing down. I carefully rubbed my fingers over the strips to transfer the foil. So no heat or a laminator required. It's like magic when you peel off the foil.

To create an elegant card, I inked up the Everything's Rosy Stamps again. I think the Teal (find the ink colors below) goes great with the Rose Gold. Instead of stamping the last layer with the darkest shade of ink, I applied foil using a bit of liquid glue. I used the coordinating Everything's Rosy Dies to cut out the rose and leaves. I love to use the Therm O Web "Purple Tape" to hold my dies in place while die cutting. It's removable, doesn't leave any adhesive residue behind and peels off easily without tearing the paper.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. Since there is no matching die, I fussy cut the word with scissors.

Altenew Dye Inks used

Rose: Dew Drop, Aqualicious, Teal Cave, Galactic Stream

Leaves: Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades, Evergreen

Please have a look at all the gorgeous projects my team mates created with the Therm O Web projects this week.

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