Guest Designer Spotlight: Card and Video with Laura Sterckx

Hi, everybody! I'm Laura Sterckx and today I'm honored and excited to be guest designing for Sunny Studio Stamps. In this blog post and video, I'm featuring two sets from the Autumn 2017 Release including Happy Owl-o-ween and Pretty Pumpkins.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Happy Owl-o-ween and Pretty Pumpkins Cards and Video by Laura Sterckx

I created my own patterned paper by stamping one of the pumpkins from the Pretty Pumpkins set. I like to start out by stamping the solid layer first because that makes it a bit easier to line up the other layers of the design. In total, it took me about 30 minutes to stamp the patterned paper. So this is definitely a time-consuming technique, but it's so pretty, don't you think? :)

When Mendi showed me the Happy Owl-o-ween set, I instantly knew I wanted to create a card with it! I dressed up the owls in a bee and pumpkin costume. Don't they just look adorable?! I had to mask off the feathers of the owl to stamp the bee costume. I simply use some washi tape for that. 

To finish off this card, I heat embossed a greeting with white embossing powder and added some shimmer and shine with sequins, a Wink of Stella glitter pen and Glossy Accents. 

That's it for now! I hope you enjoyed my card and video. Thanks to Sunny Studio Stamps for having me on the blog. Have a great day! Xo

Pet Sympathy Paw Prints Puppy Card with Lexa

Hello everyone! Lexa here today with a card featuring the Pet Sympathy stamp and it's coordinating dies. Don't you think that this set is the sweetest? Absolutely perfect for both cat and dog lovers.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Pet Sympathy Paw Prints Sympathy Card by Lexa Levana

I stamped all the images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them using Distress Markers, and after I finished with the coloring, I die cut all of them using the coordinating dies. The best part is pop them out and see the fine white borders around them. I added white dots on the dog's bed with white gel pen. The card size is a standard 4.25"x5.5". I white embossed the sentiment on a strip of red cardstock and stamp lots of cute paws with red ink to create the background. I just looove them!

I felt like it was a little bit empty on the top of my card, so I stamped some stitched clouds from Little Angels stamp and die cut them with the coordinating dies. It looks like a "heaven" somehow, don't you think so? Last touch is to add some clear sparkling sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

That's all for today, thank you so much for stopping by. I really hope you like today's card. Have a wonderful crafty day!

Quilted Hexagons Focus On Dies Friendship Card with Vanessa

Happy Thursday, everybody! Vanessa here with a colorful card using Quilted HexagonsAlthough this fab set offers so many stamps with various patterns, I couldn't resist to use the dies with scraps of patterned paper I had lying around. This is what I made with them:

I trimmed a panel of Kraft cardstock slightly smaller than my white card base. Then I die-cut all the hexies from various scraps of patterned paper and adhered them sorted by color to create a rainbow. After I had adhered the panel to the card, I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment from Cute As A Button onto a strip of black cardstock, trimmed it and adhered it to the card with foam tape.

Finally, I selected matching buttons, accessorized them with thread and adhered them to the card.

I hope you like this idea on how to use up some scraps! It is so fun to play with all the colorful paper :) Thanks for visiting today!

Barnyard Buddies Funny Farm Bouquet Of Balloons Card with Amy

Hello everyone! Amy here today with a card that features the new Barnyard Buddies and Missing Ewe stamp sets. These two sets are a must have if you love cute farm animals like me! It's a versatile set with punny sentiments and lots of great images to make delightful scenes. 

Sunny Studio Stamps: Barnyard Buddies Funny Farm Bouquet Of Balloons Card by Amy Yang

I started by making the card front. I used A2 trimmed Bristol cardstock and stamped the barn and the fence using Copic friendly black ink. Then, I stenciled in the clouds using Peacock Feathers Distress Ink. Afterwards, I stamped the sentiment and colored the rest of the front with Copic markers.

Since the sentiments says "Greetings From The Funny Farm" I thought it would fun to add a pig flying away tied to balloons. So, I used the balloon stamp from Oceans Of Joy, and used the masking technique to build it into a bouquet of balloons on smooth white cardstock. I stamped the rest of the farm animals on the same cardstock and colored them with Copic markers. I had so much fun coloring them. For this card, I decided I didn't want any white borders, so I fussy cut all of them and went over the edges with Memento Tuxedo Black Marker for a cleaner look.

Lastly, I created the rest of the funny scene with the chick on top of the sheep's head looking up at the pig and mounted the chicken slanted. I used foam adhesives to add the images to the card front for dimension. 

Thank you for stopping by the blog! Have a great day!

Happy Owl-o-ween Princess Owl Shaker Card with Nancy

Hey there Sunny fans, Nancy here with a look at the new Happy Owl-o-ween stamp set. While it's definitely a great Halloween stamp, I challenged myself to use it for anything but the spooky holiday. I was inspired by the thank you sentiment in the set and my niece's love of all things princess. And this is the card that I came up with.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Happy Owl-o-ween Princess Owl Thank You Card by Nancy Damiano

To create the shaker, I used a circle steel die in the center of a white card base. Distress Oxide Ink in Fossilized Amber and Worn Lipstick were layered to create the colorful watercolored effect for the center of the shaker. A sprinkling of sequins, clear dew drops and tiny star confetti were used to fill up this pocket of goodness.

The sentiment was gently curved on a clear acrylic block before stamping to follow the outline of the circle shaker. All of the stamped images including that cute princess owl were colored with Copic markers for a bold punch of color. The tree and birdie stamped images are from the A Bird's Life stamp set and make a great addition to the owls.

I think this same design would've made for a great birthday card as well. I love that I could customize this easily for the little cowboy or pirate in my life as well. I hope this has given you a few more ideas on how to get the most use out of the HappyOwl-o-ween stamp and die set. It's sure to become a tried and true favorite!

Pretty Pumpkins & Autumn Greetings Layered Pumpkin Card with Eloise

Hi everyone, Eloise here and today I have another card using the Pretty Pumpkins and Autumn Greetings stamp set for you all. These two work so well together and I'm loving these layering pumpkins so much!


Sunny Studio Stamps: Pretty Pumpkins & Autumn Greetings Layered Pumpkin Card by Eloise Blue

To begin I stamped out my pumpkins. Today I'm using Distress Inks to stamp. I used Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon for my layering today. I first inked up my first layering of my image with the lightest colour of ink, spritzed it with water a couple times and stamped down. 

I just repeated this step going up in darkness and making sure I dried each layer in between layers to make them more defined. I repeated this step for all pumpkins and other images also. Like the leaves and vines. I then die cut all my images out using the coordinating dies, and once they were cut I proceeded to stamp the stems on the pumpkins, as it's easier to line then up.

Next up I ink blended some Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks onto my background. I then took my Rays stencil from Tim Holtz, layered it over top and spritzed it with water, then picking up the excess with a cloth and drying it off with a heat tool. Looks so cool and you get a subtle bleached effect on your background. Once everything was dry I adhered down my pumpkins and accents. I then used the 'Much Gratitude' sentiment from Autumn Greetings and stamped it down the bottom of my panel with black ink. I adhered my panel onto some orange cardstock and then onto a white card base to finish up my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed and I'll catch you next time!
