Hi everyone,

the sweet retro trailer from the Happy Camper set makes me dream of a little summer vacation somewhere in the middle of nature, maybe at a lake with the mountains in the background. So I came up with this little scene where I added images from the Spring Scenes stamp set and Comic Strip Everyday die-cuts.

First, I cut out a window with the largest of the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies from a white woodgrain cardstock panel. I did some Distress Oxide ink blending on smooth Bristol cardstock to create the sky background (Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo) and the grass (Bundled Sage, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness) as well. I used the grass border die to trim the top of the green ink blended piece. At the left, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the trees and mountains. Since I don't have the matching die, I fussy cut the trailer with scissors. I adhered the woodgrain panel with foam tape and arranged the scene inside the window.

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Outback Critters

Hello everyone,

instead of creating an Australia themed card with the Outback Critters Stamps, I thought it would be fun to use the sweet kangaroo image for a birthday. I combined it with the balloon bouquet from the Floating By set.

I started off with a lemon yellow A2 card base and cut the Frilly Frames Retro Petals Dies from white heavyweight cardstock. I left all the petal pieces inside of the die-cut and adhered the whole panel to a piece of fun foam. The white-on-white pattern in the background creates a bit of interest without appearing too busy.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating die to cut out the mama kangaroo with her cute baby. For the balloons and strings, I did partial die cutting as well as a little fussy cutting with scissors. I adhered the balloons behind the kangaroo image which I popped up with foam tape.

I cut the word 'happy' included in the Blooming Frame Die set three times from light aqua cardstock. Then I stacked the die-cuts on top of each other to make them more dimensional and sturdy. The word 'birthday' from the Prancing Pegasus stamp set was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a small purple cardstock strip and I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Finally, I adhered the sentiment and added two enamel hearts as embellishments.

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Poppy Fields

Hi everyone,

poppies are some of my favorite flowers, so I was excited to create a card with the Poppy Fields Stamps.

I started with an A2 card base and trimmed the gingham patterned paper from the Subtle Grey Tones 6x6 Paper pack to the same size. I then cut one of the Fancy Frames Rectangle Dies from white cardstock and adhered it with foam strips.

Next, I stamped the layered poppies, leaves as well as the tiny ladybug from the Layered Basket set using dye inks (you can find the ink colors below). I used the coordinating dies to cut all the pieces out and arranged them on my card. I added a grass border (Picket Fence Die) at the bottom which I die cut from green grid paper (Gingham Jewel Tones Paper).

I die cut the words 'for you' included in the Gift Card Pocked Die set from black cardstock and double heat embossed them with clear embossing powder for a glossy look. To finish off my card, I adhered three Crystal Clear Jewels.

Dye Inks used:
Poppies: Altenew Pink Pearl, Coral Bliss, Crimson, Vineyard Berry, Grapevine;
Simon Says Stamp Stone, Cobblestone
Leaves: Altenew Just Green, Hunter Green
Stems: Altenew Just Green
Ladybug: Altenew Heart Beat

Black details:
VersaFine Onyx Black Ink

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Scalloped Fence Dies

Hello everyone,

mixing and matching products is so much fun! Today, I incorporated the Scalloped Fence Dies into my little fairy scene.

My card is a bit larger than the regular A2 size and measures 5 7/8" x 4 1/2". The patterned paper from the Spring Fling 6x6 Paper pack was the perfect fit for this scene. I die cut the fence pieces from white cardstock and assembled them – love the details and dimension. I also cut the grass border included in the Picket Fence Die set from green cardstock and adhered it at the bottom of the card.

Next, I stamped the sweet Garden Fairy images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I cut everything out with the coordinating dies. I adhered the mushroom house and fence flat and popped up the other images with foam tape.

The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink and I heat embossed it with Salvaged Patina Distress Embossing Glaze. Finally, I applied some Crystal Stickles to the fairy wings.

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Moroccan Circles Embossing Folder

Hi everyone,

I love to add texture using embossing folders. This time, I stepped it up by dry embossing a Gel Plate printed background.

I started off with a white A2 card base. For my background, I applied Salvaged Patina and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide Ink with a brayer to my Gelly Arts gel printing plate and put a piece of white heavyweight cardstock on top slightly rubbing across with my fingers. I really like the soft blending of these gorgeous colors. I ran it through my die-cutting machine with the Moroccan Circles embossing folder and added small white paint splatters.

Next, I stamped a couple of images from the Pink Peonies set in matching colors and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I adhered them with liquid glue as well as foam tape for a bit of dimension. The 'hello' sentiment (Beach Buddies) was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a white cardstock strip and heat embossed in silver. Finally, I embellished my card with three Snow White Crystals around the floral cluster.

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Beach Buddies

Hello everyone,

Summer is here and today's card features the adorable Beach Buddies which I combined with some fun accessories.

I went with a non-ordinary card size (6"w x 4"h) because I wanted to use one of my all-time favorite dies – the Staggered Circle Die which is perfect to pair with cute critters. I cut it from a blue Sleek Stripes Paper as well as from cream cardstock. I inlaid the cream stitched circles into the window openings of the striped paper.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I cut everything out with the coordinating dies.

I picked additional accessories from the following sets:
drink: Tiki Time and Dies
sun: Balloon Rides Stamps and Dies
starfish: Best Fishes and Dies
flip flops: Sealiously Sweet and Dies

The sentiments were stamped in VersaMark Ink onto black cardstock strips and heat embossed in white. I scattered the images and sentiment strips all over my card and added Cornflower Blue Jewels as a finishing touch.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a day full of sunshine!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Summer Release • Candy Shoppe

Hi everyone,

today I have this literally sweet birthday card for you featuring the fun Candy Shoppe Stamps. All these candy themed images inspired me to come up with a little wagon made from die-cuts.

I used the scalloped dies from the Sweet Treats House Add-On set for the roof and border. I masked off every other scallop and sponged on Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink to create the stripes. For the wheels, I cut the half round window die twice from brown cardstock circles. I also added a piece of pink striped paper (Dots & Stripes Pastels Paper) to a white cardstock rectangle for the wagon's bottom part.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I cut everything out with the coordinating dies. Two of the longer striped candy sticks were used to combine the roof and bottom part of the wagon. I adhered the wagon pieces to a light blue card base and arranged all the sweets inside it. For a little bit of sparkle, I applied Crystal Stickles to the right side of the pastel rainbow cotton candy.

I really like the oversized 'Sweet' word which I stamped in Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink and triple heat embossed with clear embossing powder for a raised and glossy effect. The matching die is awesome, too! The birthday sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a thin black cardstock strip and heat embossed in white. I finished off the card by rounding the bottom card corners with a punch and adding three white clay hearts.

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