  Spring Scenes and Ink Blending

  Posted at 11:00 am by Luci Manos

  Feb 19th

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here with this adorable card using the Sunny Studios “Puppy Dog Kisses“, “Spring Scenes” and the SFL “Puppy Hugs and Kisses” paper pad!

  Be sure to check out the video HERE!

  

  This is an A2 size card or 5 1/2 X 4 1/4 inches. I stamped and the puppy images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on some of the pattern paper and fussy cut them out. I popped them up with some foam tape.

  I cut a panel of 110lb Neenah white cardstock to 5 1/2 X 4 inches, stamped and masked the scene stamps with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink I used Distress Oxide Inks to blend the sky (Tumbled Glass) and road (Black Soot & Iced Spruce), and I used a cloud stencil for the sky. I colored the grass area, tree, and bench with Copic markers and I stamped the grass sections from the stamp set with Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Ink.  I cut the panel down to 5 1/4 X 3 3/4 inches.

  I cut a piece of the pattern paper to 5 3/8 X 4 1/8 inches for the back panel.

  If you want to make scene cards but are not sure about drawing your own the “Spring Scenes” stamp set is perfect. There are so many options with this one set for perfect scenes every time.

  I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink,  on a piece of white cardstock.  I used my Misti to position the stamps to fit. By using a stamping platform I was able to get the sentiment positioned and stamped.  Then I cut it down to 1/2 inch wide and about 3 inches long, to finish it off I popped it up with foam tape and fishtailed the one end.

  I used a black gel pen for the one puppy’s nose and eyes, and then cut out the bow from pattern paper after I stamped just that small section!

  Happily Ever After

  Posted at 7:00 am by Stacy Tiedemann

  Feb 16th

  Happily Ever After…

  Hello, it’s Kari V. from SunshineInMyPocket.com again with a new post for Scrapping For Less! I’m so excited to share these Happily Ever After cards with you. I used the Fairy’s Garden paper pack and the Enchantedstamp set today.

  

  For my first card I created a castle home for the happy couple. I first ink blended a soft blue and green ink onto the background. I colored the images with Copic markers. Then I added some clouds with a pink lining from the paper pack.

  I think pink clouds are so dreamy! When they say every cloud has a silver lining, clouds with a pink lining are one step above that! Lol. I stamped the Happily Ever After sentiment on one of the clouds.

  

  I added the images with foam tape and created a cobble stone walkway using Nuvo Stone Drops. These are so dimensional and dry with a matte finish to look like stones!

  This stamp set is so inspiring, I couldn’t resist featuring that cute little frog in the stamp set for ONE MORE card! I chose one of my favorite papers for the background, then added the frog and the Knight in Shining Armor to a circle die cut.

  

  I added some solid paper to the left side of the card, and stamped the sentiment “You’re So Charming” onto one of the blue paper strips.

  How many frogs have YOU had to kiss to find your Knight?!

  

  I hope you enjoyed these projects today. I’ve really loved guesting and featuring these products!

  Keep on creating,

  Kari VanNoy

  Happy Easter Chickie Baby | Sunny Studio Stamps

  Posted at 9:05 pm by Stacy Tiedemann

  Feb 14th

  Hello, it’s Stacy from Craftaholicmomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with a slimline card featuring the Chickie Baby stamp set by Sunny Studio Stamps and Distress Oxide Inks.

  

  I stamped the images on Neenah 80# Classic Crest Smooth Solar White Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I used my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers to color them in. I then cut out the images with my Brother Scan n Cut.

  I ink blended on a piece of Bristol Smooth Card Stock with Picked Raspberry and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Inks with a blender brush.

  

  I sprinkled some water droplets on the background and dabbed it up with a paper towel to make it look distressed.

  

  Then I stamped some of the grass images with the Twisted Citron. Popping the chicks up on foam squares and gluing the flowers in place finished off the card. The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

  

  

  Thanks for visiting,

  Spring Scenes and Puppy Dog Kisses

  Posted at 11:00 am by Luci Manos

  Feb 12th

  Hi Everyone!  Luci here with this adorable card using the Sunny Studios “Puppy Dog Kisses“, “Spring Scenes” “Ric Rac Snippet Dies” and the SFL “Puppy Hugs and Kisses” paper pad!

  Be sure to check out the video HERE!

  

  I stamped and the puppy images with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers I used my Scan N Cut to cut the puppy images out.

  I cut a panel of 110lb Neenah white cardstock to 5 1/2 X 4 inches, stamped and masked the scene stamps with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored the scene with Copic markers.  I was not happy with the coloring at all and ended up cutting the panel down to 5 1/2 X about 3 inches.

  If you want to make scene cards but are not sure about drawing your own the “Spring Scenes” stamp set is perfect. There are so many options with this one set for perfect scenes every time.

  I used the dies to cut out a border on the top and bottom of a 5 1/2 X 4-inch panel on the 5 1/2 inch side. I ended up making the panel 5 1/2 by about 3 3/4 inches.

  I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink,  on a circle I cut out of white cardstock.  I used my Misti to position the stamps to fit.  The “& puppy dog kisses” is all one piece and I thought it would be cute to have the sentiment follow the curve of the circle instead of cutting it down.  By using a stamping platform I was able to get the entire sentiment positioned and stamp it all at one time.

  I used a black gel pen for the one puppy’s nose, used a white gel pen for their eyes, and added just a little Glossy Accents to the puppy’s bow and nose!

  Sunny Studio Stamps ~ You Brighten My Day!

  Posted at 7:20 pm by Crystal O. Minkler

  Feb 11th
  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a couple of sweet cards using the adorable Spring Showers stamp set along with the Spring Fling papers, both from Sunny Studio Stamps and available here in the SFL shop!

  

  I went a little crazy with all the layers of cute papers from the Spring Fling paper pack… but how could I not?! These papers are too cute!! This fun sketch is the current Mojo Monday sketch over at the Poetic Artistry blog. I love to check out the sketch blogs for inspiration!

  

  I stamped the sweet girl holding the flower from the Spring Showers stamp set with Memento Tuxedo black ink on white card stock and then again on a post it note to mask my image. I blended a little Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks over the masked image. You may notice that the color seems a little smudged… that’s because I forgot to heat set the black ink. I still make mistakes after twenty plus years of cardmaking… lol! Anywho, it still looks okay so I removed the mask and colored the image with the following copic markers:

  Skin ~ E000, E00, E21

  Hair ~ Y21, YR12, YR14

  Clothes ~ BV0000, BV01

  Hair Clip/Flower ~ R81, R85, Y06, Y15

  

  I adhered all the layers together, wrapping the cluster of layers with a little white baker’s twine. I then adhered the layers to the purple flower layer that I had adhered to a white card base. I popped up the main image and the sentiment with some foam squares to finish off this card. I think it turned out pretty cute… what do you think?

  

  While I was playing with the papers and stamps making the first card, I had a fun idea for this second card. I had run across this sketch on the CAS(E) this Sketch blog and thought it would be cute to feature this adorable little girl playing in the rain. I stamped the girl and umbrella with Memento Tuxedo black ink and then colored them in with the following copic markers:

  Skin/Mouth ~ E000, E00, E21, R14, N4

  Hair ~ E35, E37

  Clothes ~ C00, C1, R81, R83, R85

  Umbrella ~ R81, R83, R85, BV0000, BV01

  

  I created the background by stamping the Rain Showers stamp twice on a piece of white card stock with VersaMark watermark ink and then I heat embossed an ultra fine clear embossing powder. I then blended the Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn Oxide inks to create my sky and ground. I die cut the background with a circle die and then mat it with a scalloped circle that I had die cut from another piece of white card stock.

  

  I couldn’t find quite the right blue card stock for my card base so I cut one of the papers from the Spring Fling paper pack. Even though it’s mostly covered by the next layer of papers… I wanted that blue layer to help it all pop. I then adhered the three strips of patterned paper to a white piece of card stock measuring 4-1/8 x 5-3/8″. I adhered that layer to the card and then popped up the main image with foam squares. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of white card stock and then mat it on the same blue patterned paper I used on the base. To finish off the card, I added a few Sea Breeze Jewel drops… I like the translucent look to these drops.

  Thanks so much for stopping by! See ya next time.

  Inky hugs,

  Crystal

  Sunny Studio Stamps ~ Showering You With Love!

  Posted at 9:00 am by Crystal O. Minkler

  Feb 7th

  Hello there crafty friend! Crystal here from Tawny Owl Paperie with a quick but cute card using some fun products from Sunny Studio Stamps. I fell in love with this rainbow polka dot hearts paper from the Spring Fling paper pack, so I just had to use it for my card today!

  

  In my mind, the clouds are literally showering hearts… I just love how quick this fun card came together! I stamped the clouds from the adorable Spring Showers stamp set with Memento Tuxedo black ink in my Stamp Platform so I’d get a beautiful crisp stamped image.

  

   I then colored the clouds very simply with BV0000, BV01, and the Colorless Blender copic markers. I fussy cut the clouds and set them aside. I trimmed my patterned paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ and then lined up my stitched rectangle die in the center securing it with some purple tape. I ran it through my Big Shot and then mat the rainbow polka dot hearts paper on a 3-3/8 x 4-5/8″ piece of white card stock. I was going to adhere that layer back onto the rainbow polka dot hearts paper, but when I flipped it over I saw the ombre rainbow paper side and decided to use this side. 

  

  I adhered the papers to the card using a liquid glue and then stamped the sentiment. I used a smaller rectangle die to die cut the sentiment and then trimmed off the extra from the left side. I adhered the sentiment to the card and then adhered the clouds.

  

  I just love how sweet this card turned out and it was really so quick to make!! Be sure to stop by the SFL shop and see all the fabulous Sunny Studio Stamps products available… so many wonderful stamps, dies and papers!!

  Thanks for stopping by! See ya next time.

  Inky hugs,

  Crystal

  Cruising Critters Birthday Card

  Posted at 5:16 pm by Stacy Tiedemann

  Feb 4th

  Hello, it’s Stacy here from Craftaholicmomma up today on the Scrapping for Less blog with a super cute card featuring several products from Sunny Studio Stamps’ newest release. You can find these products at Scrappingforless.com.

  

  I used the Cruising Critters stamp set, the Spring Sunburst 6×6 paper pad and the Heartstring Border Dies to create my card. After stamping my image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink I colored the image with my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers (Amazon). I die cut a heart border and mounted the image panel onto the striped pattern paper with Gina K Designs Foam Adhesive. The body of the vehicle was stamped on pattern paper and fussy cut so that I could paper piece it in place.

  

  I used a Molotow Chrome Marker (Amazon) to color in the shiny chrome parts of the vehicle like the fenders on the wheel wells and the hub caps.

  

  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

  

  All products links listed below.
