MFT Stamps • May Card Kit • Countdown Day 1

Hello everyone,

today I'm back as we are introducing the new Everything Wonderful Card Kit that will be available tomorrow, May 23rd at 10 am EDT.

The kit comes with a great selection of sentiments and beautiful stitchable flowers as well as versatile leaves.

I created a simple sympathy card with the Lush Leaves Die-namics and a sentiment from the add-on stamp set So Very Sorry For Your Loss.

I started off with a white A2 landscape cardbase and die cut one of the Stitched Designer Octagon STAX Die-namics from Kraft Card Stock. For a bit of interest, I spattered on white paint with a brush.

The leaves were die cut from Bristol Smooth Cardstock and I watercolored them with Karin Brushmarkers. I stamped the sentiment onto a Black Licorice Card Stock rectangle and white heat embossed it. I adhered everything with liquid glue and added a white enamel heart as embellishment.

Here's a sneak peek at the May Card Kit:

MFT Stamps • June Card Kit Release Day

Hi there,

the new Beach Day Card Kit is now available for purchase! The price for this great collection of coordinated products is 30% off the cost of purchasing the elements separately.

And you can combine these items with other products you already have in your stash. That's what I did on today's card.

I created a sunny beach scene using the versatile Sand and Surf Die-namics which are sold in addition to the card kit. The Itty Bitty Summer sentiment stamp set is the newest Free with $60 gift option.

The waves and sandy beach were colored with Karin Brushmarkers and a bit of white gouache paint. I added a cloudy border and inked the Sunny Rays Stencil in yellow.

I couldn't resist using one of the YUZU Pig Time Fun cuties as well. The bucket and shovel are included in the separately sold Sandcastle Builder Die-namics set.

MFT Stamps • June Release Countdown Day 3

Hello again,

we are halfway through the My Favorite Things June Release Countdown with another great selection of new products.

Rainbows and unicorns are a match made in heaven! So for today's card I combined the whimsical YOUnicorn stamps and the Stitched Tall Rainbow Die-namics.

First, I die cut the stitched rainbow from Bristol smooth cardstock and watercolored each individual stripe with Karin Brushmarkers. After letting them dry, I adhered the rainbow to an A2 card base made from Sno Cone Card Stock. 

I also die cut a cloud border (Mini Slimline Outside the Box Clouds Die-namics) and two of the Cutest Clouds Ever from white cardstock and added Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to the edges. Then I stamped one of the Rainbow Critters sentiments onto the cloud border using VersaMark Ink. I heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder and adhered the border and clouds over the rainbow.

Next, I stamped the unicorn and colored it with Copics. I cut it out with the coordinating die and popped it up with foam tape on top of the rainbow and cloud border.

MFT Stamps • May Release Countdown Day 4

Hi everyone,

the My Favorite Things May Release Countdown continues with more new product reveals and inspiration.

Today I'm featuring the adorable Thank My Lucky Stars stamp set. It comes with the cutest bear and bunny images, stars and a tiny crab. I made a Mini Slimline card also using the new Wonky Stitched Mini Slimline STAX Die-namics.

First, I did some watercoloring with Karin Brushmarkers to create a galaxy background in blue, teal and black. I let it dry completely and added white paint splatters with a brush to mimic stars. The largest wonky stitched mini slimline die was used to cut out the panel that I adhered to a 3" x 6" white card base.

Next, I stamped the images in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copic markers. I cut everything out with the coordinating Thank My Lucky Stars Die-namics. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto black cardstock strips and I heat embossed it in white. Finally, I alternately adhered the sentiment strips and images across the card.

Sunny Studio Stamps • Spring Release • Stitched Circle Dies

Hello everyone,

today I'm sharing a colorful birthday card. I used the versatile Stitched Cirlce Large Dies to create a happy rainbow for the Prancing Pegasus.

I started off with an A2 card base and cut out the purple Classic Sunburst Paper with the stitched rectangle die included in the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies set. I left all the stitched circle dies attached (as they come from the manufacturer) and ran them through my die cutting machine with some Bristol cardstock. I cut them in half to create the rainbow pieces which I watercolored with Karin Brushmarkers.

For the clouds, I used a speech bubble die from the Comic Speech Bubbles Die set. I colored the pegasus with the Karin Brushmarkers as well and cut it out with the coordinating die. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock banner and heat embossed in white.

I adhered the rainbow and sentiment banner with liquid glue and popped up the clouds and pegasus with foam tape. Finally, I added Iridescent Pearls and a tiny star sequin as embellishments.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an awesome day!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Summer Sweets

Hello everyone,

the days are getting longer and with the warm weather lately it already feels like summer. Time to get some ice cream! Today's card highlights the Summer Sweets Stamps.

I started off with a white A2 card base and created an ink smooshed background in yummy Distress Oxide colors (Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Abandoned Coral).

Next, I stamped the ice cream images in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder. I watercolored them with Karin Brushmarkers and used the coordinating dies to cut everything out.

I die cut one of the Stitched Semi-Circles from white cardstock, glued it to the background and adhered the images onto it with foam adhesive. I stacked four Sweet Word die cuts together and white heat embossed the sentiments onto black cardstock strips.

Finally, I embellished my card with Red & Pink Clay Heart Confetti and added sparkly Crystal Stickles dots.

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

Hello Bluebird • Little Things Matter Most

Hello sweeties,

I really enjoy coloring with my beloved Copics, but sometimes I like to change things up. This time, I decided to color with my new Karin Brushmarkers. For today's card, I combined the adorable Hello Bluebird Meadow Bunnies set with the versatile Oak Tree Scene Die.

First, I did a watercolor wash of purples and pinks to create the background. I die cut the oak tree pieces and did the foliage with brushmarkers. For the tree trunk and grass, I used Distress Oxide Inks. I puzzled all the pieces together and put a white frame around it. Really love how this die helps to create a wonderful scene in no time.

I stamped the bunny and butterflies with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and colored them with Karin Brushmarkers. I white heat embossed the sentiment onto a cardstock strip and adhered it as well as the images with foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by! And don't forget 'Little things matter most'!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Tea-rrific

Hi everyone,

today I'm back with a sweet card featuring the Tea-riffic Stamps mini set. And the teacup and teapot are even cuter with the added little faces.

First, I die cut the Botanical Backdrop frame from Bristol cardstock and did some watercoloring with several green Karin Brushmarkers. I also splattered on tiny dots of paint for a bit more interest.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic Markers and Prismacolor Pencils. There are coordinating dies available but I fussy cut both images and adhered them with foam tape.

I combined the scripty 'hello' from the Potted Rose set with a punny Tea-riffic sentiment and finished off my card with enamel hearts.

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