Happy weekend everyone,

we are halfway through the My Favorite Things April Release Countdown and I invite you to hop over to the MFT Blog to find out more about today's product reveals.

I have this fun Clean and Simple card to share with you today featuring the MSTN Stay Cool Die-namics.

In the background I used the gorgeous striped patterned paper from the Festive Celebrations Paper Pad. I just love this color palette! The sunglasses were created from Gravel Gray and Black Licorice cardstock. I added a bit of shading with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink.

Next, I die cut each letter of the sentiment from the matching cardstock colors which you can always find in the helpful Prinatble Resources blog category under Patterned Paper Pads Reference Guides.

The white cardstock panel was die cut with one of the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX Set 1 Die-namics. Finally, I assembled the card by adhering the die-cuts (I used the negative to align the letters) with liquid glue and popping up the sunglasses with foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an extra cool day!

MFT Stamps • April Release Countdown Day 4

Hello everyone,

the My Favorite Things April Release Countdown continues. So check out the MFT Blog for today's release peeks.

Today I'm sharing a Clean and Simple card showcasing the You're My Sunshine stamps.

Aren't these cats just the cutest?! And I also have a thing for rainbows and clouds. I stamped the images in Extreme Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copics. To cut everything out I used the You're My Sunshine Die-namics.

I wanted to create a subtle background and something to separate the card design optical. I decided to do some faded stenciling with the Ray Of Light Stencil and Distress Oxide Inks (Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass). The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder.

MFT Stamps • April Release Countdown Day 5

Hi friends,

I'm so excited today as we're kicking off the countdown for the My Favorite Things April Release which is my very first release as an official MFT Design Team member. The new products will be available on Tuesday, April 12th at 10 am EDT.

The first card I'm sharing features the sweet Fairy Special stamp set. I created a colorful Spring scene by ink blending the background with Distress Oxide Inks. For the grass, I also used the new Scene Stencil - Rolling Hills.

I started off with a white A2 cardstock panel and blended on Wilted Violet, Milled Lavender, Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass for the sky. I let it fade into white and colored the grassy hill with Bundled Sage and Rustic Wilderness. When it was completely dry, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

Next, I stamped the images and colored them with Copics. I cut them out with the coordinating Fairy Special Die-namics and adhered everything with liquid glue.

Check out the MFT blog for more inspiration from the Design Team and further product reveals. For even more ideas, product details and tutorials, please visit the MFT YouTube channel.

Thank you so much for stopping by! See you again tomorrow!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Spring Release • Out on a Limb Dies

Hi everyone,

Winter has made a little comeback last weekend but that won't stop me from creating spring themed cards ;-) Today I'm featuring the Out on a Limb Dies which go perfectly with the Cherry Blossoms layering stamp set.

First, I cut and scored a white A2 landscape card base. From the right bottom corner, I started blending the Distress Oxide Inks Salvaged Patina and Tumbled Glass in circular motions. I let it fade into white and added small ink splatters with a paint brush.

I cut out a window opening from another A2 white cardstock panel using the largest of the Stitched Semi-Circle Dies. The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with Gold embossing powder.

Next, I die cut the tree branch and leaves from brown and green cardstock. I added a little shading with a darker tone of ink. The cherry blossoms were stamped with dye inks and I heat embossed the pistils in Gold. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out.

I adhered the branch, leaves and blossoms to the card and finished it off with three white Pure White Jewels.

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Spring Release • Spring Greenery Dies

Hello everyone,

today's Clean and Simple card features the versatile Spring Greenery Dies. I chose the veined leaves and die cut them from cardstock in rainbow colors.

I let the leaves float across the left side of the white A2 card base and added one of the scripty Lovey Dovey sentiments to the right. It was stamped in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with Platinum embossing powder. After cutting it out with the coordinating die, I adhered it with small slivers of foam tape. Finally, I embellished the card with matching glitter enamel dots.

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Spring Release • Bunnyville

Hi everyone,

today I'm sharing a sweet spring scene created with the adorable Bunnyville Stamps.

I started off with a lilac top folding A2 card base and trimmed down a piece of Bristol cardstock to be a bit smaller. For the background, I blended together the Distress Oxide Inks Tumbled Glass, Salvaged Patina, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron. I let the colors fade into the white and added ink splatters with a paint brush. When everything was completely dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Spring Greetings mini set in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I just love these cute bunnies and their little carrot house. I cut everything out with the coordinating dies and assembled the scene.

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

Sunny Studio Stamps • Spring Release • Little Birdie

Hello everyone,

today I'm sharing a spring themed Birthday card made with the adorable Little Birdie Stamps.

I started off with a white A2 card base and picked the cloudy design from the Summer Splash 6x6 Paper pack to be my background. I trimmed it to 3" width and matted it with dark purple cardstock.

Next, I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. I adhered the images with liquid glue and drew in the string for the birdhouse with a thin black Copic Multiliner.

The birthday sentiment was stamped in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock strip and I heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

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