Hi everyone,

I'm thrilled to share my first card using new products from the freshly released Sunny Studio Stamps Summer Release.

Today I'm kicking it off with the fun Cruisin' Cuisine Stamps. From the moment I saw this set, I knew I wanted to create an ice cream truck!

The stamp set comes with various food accessories and sentiments. I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. For the ink blended background, I used yummy pastel Distress Oxide Ink colors (Picked Raspberry, Spun Sugar, Milled Lavender, Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio) which remind me of ice cream.

I stamped the scripty sentiment from the Pink Peonies set in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Next, I cut a small road hill from grey cardstock. I used the stitched scalloped die from the Frilly Frames Stripes set to add a decorative border to the background panel and the hill. I adhered them to a white A2 card base and popped up the ice cream cone and truck with foam squares.

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

Hello Bluebird • April Release • Thank You

Hello peeps,

today I want to share a CAS card with you where the adorable cow from the Party on the Farm set took center stage.

I also used the background image and single tulips from the Besties stamp set to create a little scene. I added the butterfly from the Meadow Bunnies set and colored everything with Copics. The sentiment is included in the Happy Wishes set and I heat embossed it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder.

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

Hello Bluebird • April Release • Little Painters

Hello crafty friends,

do you love rainbows as much as I do? I just had to make these cute bunnies from the Little Painters set (it's actually Easter-themed but I wanted to use it in a non-holiday way) color some pretty rainbow clouds.

I did some watercoloring with Distress Oxide Inks (Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin, Wild Honey, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet) and used the Grassy Knoll Dies to cut out the cloud borders. When everything was completely dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Besties stamp set with VersaMark Ink and white heat embossed it.

Next, I applied Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to the card base by letting it fade into the white. I layered the two rainbow cloud borders on top of each other and added a small black and white striped paper strip below.

To create a cluster of color tins, I did some masking. I colored the images with Copics, fussy cut them out and adhered them with foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Sunny Studio Stamps • Showering You With Love

Hi everyone,

today I'm sharing another inspiration card over on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog. Again I used one of the fun colorful patterned papers from the Spring Fling 6x6 Paper pack. With all the clouds and rainbows, I thought the cute critter umbrellas from the Spring Showers set would be the perfect match.

I trimmed the patterned paper to the size of my card base and cut out three openings with the Window Trio Square Dies. Behind the windows, I did some gradient ink blending with Distress Oxides (Mowed Lawn + Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean + Tumbled Glass, Picked Raspberry + Worn Lipstick) and popped up the panel with foam tape.

Next, I stamped the umbrellas in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and did some coloring with Copic Markers. I cut out the images with the coordinating dies an adhered them with foam squares. Finally, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink onto a black cardstock rectangle and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

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

Hello Bluebird • April Release • Party on the Farm

Hi there,

hope you're spending a Happy Easter!

Today I have a birthday card for you made with the Party on the Farm set which is another favorite of mine! It goes perfectly with the also freshly released Farmland Background.

First, I colored all images with Copics. I stamped the birthday sentiment inside the white area of the background scene which I adhered directly to my card base. Next, I die cut a circle window out of another white cardstock panel and stamped the grass border from the background stamp at the bottom using Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink. I adhered the panel over the background using foam tape and added the farm critters, balloon and cupcake to the card front. The banner went across the top of the circle window and was popped up with foam tape as well.

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

Hello Bluebird • April Release • Meadow Bunnies

Hello sweet friends,

I created a fresh and modern card with the new Meadow Bunnies Stamps which of course can be used for Easter but also all year round.

I tried something different and colored them in pastel colors using Copics. To create a colorblock design, I trimmed matching cardstock and adhered the pieces to my card base. I stamped the sentiments in VersaMark Ink and embossed them with white embossing powder.

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