Island Getaway Salty Kisses Card with Lexa

Happy Fri-YAY everyone!  

Lexa is here today, and this is my first post as a Sunny Studio Stamps Design Team. I'm super excited to be here. And here I am sharing a happy summer card with you..

I use a stamp set called Island Getaway with a monkey in a pink polka-dot bikini sending salty kisses to you.  How cute is that?  She's having a great time on a private island I bet.

I stamped wavy borders on blue cardstock and layered them together. I also wanted to create a sun to complete my scene, so I just die-cut a stitched circle on yellow cardstock.

I left white borders as I blended the blue sky using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, masking off the border with low tac tape. The "salty kisses" sentiment is stamped on pink patterned paper to match the monkey's bikini and is attached with foam tape.

My last touch is pretty sequins.  I looove how it turned out. This stamp set is so summer-y with so many fun details and cute sentiments.

Thanks for looking and wishing you a great day!

Tropical Paradise My Sunshine Flamingo Card with Vanessa

Hi everyone!  Vanessa here with my very first post on the Sunny Studio Blog. I am so happy to be here and hope to inspire you :)

For my card, I played with my new favorite stamp set Tropical Paradise. I love all the elements of this set:

I started with a card base made from kraft cardstock. Then I trimmed a piece of watercolor paper slightly smaller than the card and inked the middle with kraft ink. Now I applied drops of gold and pearl spray ink and adhered the panel to the card. I stamped and colored the flamingos, cut them out and adhered them with foam tape. Then I die-cut the "sunshine" and the heart from gold glitter cardstock and adhered them. Finally, I stamped "my" using Sweet Script Stamps.

I hope you like my first card! Thank you so much for visiting!

Fresh & Fruit Perfect Pear Anniversary Card with Lindsey

Hi!  Lindsey here today with a “sweet” card using the new Fresh and Fruity stamp set. This set is full of yummy fruits and cute sentiments! Let’s get started!

I made the cute little pears the stars of this card. I cut an A2 sized card base using some Doodlebug patterned paper. Then I cut a scalloped oval frame and white oval to do my stamping on. I stamped two little pears side by side and added the sweet little faces to them. I colored the pears using Copic markers. Next, I stamped my sentiment.  The top part of the sentiment is from the Fresh and Fruity stamp set and the “congratulations” is from the older Sunny Borders stamp set. I bent both sentiments to match the arch of the oval.

To finish off the card, I added a few sequins in opposite corners, and tied some black and white twine across the top of the card. I also added some white dots to the scalloped oval with a white gel pen.

I hope you’ll check out this fun set, and thanks for reading!

Island Getaway Happy Summer Card with Anni

Hey stampers, Anni here!  I am so happy and excited to have my first card on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog.

I start with this fabulous new set called Island Getaway. Awe... What a great set for summer - or for dreaming of it.

When I saw these super cute flip flops I literally could feel the sand between my toes. So I knew instantly that I wanted to make a beach card.

I created the beach and the water with ink blending by masking areas with a ripped masking tape. I added a little bit of white and sparkle for the sea spray. I finished by adding the tiny flowers to the flip flops to dress them up even more.

I hope you like my first card! I can't wait to see what you will create with this set.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Comfy Creatures Tri-fold Birthday Card by Eloise

Hello everyone! Eloise here and I’m so excited to show you my first project that I made. Today I have a fun tri-fold card for you all featuring the new Comfy Creatures and Summer Picnic sets as well as a few other stamps sets from the previous release.

So for today's card I began with knowing I wanted to do a tri-fold card, just for something a little bit different.  I began with cutting down a piece of watercolour cardstock to 11 ¼” by 5 ½”. Once my cardstock was cut down, I scored each section at 3 ¾” so then once it’s folded up, they are all equal sections. Once that was done, I needed to create different heights for each of the layers on the card. For this I just used my paper trimmer and cut down two of the sides that are folding in and cut them both at different angles so when the card was folded in once again, they would look like hills.

I then moved onto the ink blending. I opened the card up fully and blended first some blue onto the background piece. I masked off each sides of the card to make sure they stayed a nice white. For the blue colours I used Tumbled Glass, Broken China and a little Salty Ocean and blended the three together to create an ombre effect. I then moved onto the next layer that folds in and for that I used Mowed Lawn and a little Forest Moss. Then next was the first layer of the card and for that I used mostly Twisted Citron with a little Mowed Lawn. I then took some water on a paint brush and tapped it over the Distress Ink to create a fun water splotch look.

For the images, I used a bunch of stamp sets to create a fun scene. I stamped out the clouds, sun and the bee from Sunny Sentiments, I used the bow and then the eggs from A Good Egg to make some fun balloons, I just turned them upside down and drew on my own bottoms to them to make balloons. I also used the tree from the new Summer Picnic set, the Monkey face/tail along with the body from the new Comfy Creatures set and then I used the hands with the present from Sending My Love since I wanted it to be a birthday card – I love how all these sets work so well together to create a fun scene!

I coloured in all the images with various Copic Markers and then cut them all out. There are coordinating dies for all these images also. I then adhered all of my images onto my scene. For the sentiment I used the ‘Happy Birthday’ from the Comfy Creatures stamp set and white heat embossed it onto some black cardstock. I then adhered it onto the card with some foam adhesive. For a finishing touch I used my Wink of Stella Glitter pen to put over some of the images.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you enjoyed and make sure you check out the blog tomorrow for more inspiration!
