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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Stitched Rectangle Dies

Hi everyone,

I really like to use dies with stitching details, so I think the Stitched Rectangle Dies set is a must-have. I combined them with some sweet Outback Critters Stamps.

First, I created an A2 card base from teal cardstock. Then I die cut the rectangle mats from three shades of turquoise/aqua cardstock and layered them on top of each other. I also die cut a little hill from Kraft cardstock with one of the Slimline Nature Borders Dies. I ran it through with the smallest stitched rectangle die as well for a more finished look.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I cut everything out with the coordinating dies. With the help of partial die cutting I shortened the stitched double fishtail banner to fit my punny birthday sentiment which I stamped in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed in white. Finally, I adhered the images and sentiment banner with foam tape.

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Happy Hamsters

Hello everyone,

it's no secret that I really love creating cards with cute critters and today I'm showcasing the Happy Hamsters Stamps.

I started off with a light aqua A2 card base and trimmed down the yellow stars patterned paper from the Rainbow Bright Paper pack. For the top part, I blended some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink in circular motions on a Bristol cardstock panel. I adhered both pieces to the card base and added a thin grey paper strip.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I cut everything out with the coordinating dies and used liquid glue as well as foam tape to adhere them. Finally, I stamped the motion lines and punny sentiment in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Gift Card Pocket Die

Hi everyone,

today I'm sharing a colorful summer-themed card with a special feature. Instead of hiding the gift card at the inside of the card, I incorporated the Gift Card Pocket Die into the front card design.

First, I started off with a white A2 card base and trimmed down the striped paper from the Summer Splash Paper pack to the same size. I cut the medium Stitched Rectangle Die from ocean blue cardstock and also created a little wave border for the bottom using one of the Catch A Wave Dies. 

Next, I die cut the gift card pocket out of pink shell patterned paper, folded the flaps backwards and adhered it to the blue rectangle panel. I decorated the gift card pocket with some sweet Beach Buddies Stamps which I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored them with Copic Markers and used the coordinating dies to out the images. 

I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it in white. The scripty word 'Summer' (which I fussy cut) and the edge of the wave border were heat embossed with sparkly WOW! The Real Teal embossing glitter.

Finally, I assembled my card using liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension and added three Crystal Clear Jewels that almost look like water droplets.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Enjoy your day!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Looking Sharp

Hello everyone,

the new Looking Sharp stamp set features cacti and succulent plants which are even cuter with smiley faces and little accessoires. I created a birthday card with three of them.

I started off with a white A2 landscape card base and trimmed a piece of Bristol cardstock to be slightly smaller. For my warm sunset background, I blended together the Distress Oxide Inks Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold and Crackling Campfire. I used one of the Winter Scenes Dies to create a ground for my plants to stand on. The earthy ink colors are Antique Linen, Gathered Twig and Walnut Stain. For some texture, I added ink splatters with a paint brush. When it was completely dry, I stamped the punny sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it in white.

I remembered the hanging light strings from the Scenic Route set and thought they were a great addition to my little birthday scene. All images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and I colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out.

Finally, I assembled my card by adhering the background and lights with liquid glue and popping up the ground and plant images with foam tape.

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

Hi everyone,

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.

I created a CAS card using the crayons which I stamped in rainbow colors with dye inks (you can find the ink colors below). I also cut some skinny strips from matching patterned paper (Rainbow Bright Paper and Sleek Stripes Paper) and adhered them to a white A2 card base.

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 • Slimline Pennant Dies

Hello everyone,

today I'm featuring the versatile Slimline Pennant Dies which can be used in many ways and of course they work with A2 standard size cards as well. I adore the Balloon Rides Stamps and added patterned papers to the background.

First, I cut out the diamonds pattern from the Subtle Grey Tones Paper pack with the stitched rectangle mat die included in the Frilly Frames Quatrefoil Dies set and adhered it to my A2 top-folding card base.

The cloudy paper (Summer Splash Paper) was die cut with the second largest pennant. To create a reverse banner piece I additionally used one of the Fishtail Banner Dies and cut off the top from the green floral pennant (Spring Fling Paper).

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

Finally, I assembled my card by adhering all elements with liquid glue and foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have an amazing day!
