Sunny Studio - Wonderful (interactive) Window

Hey there,

I'm thrilled to be back on Sunny Studio's blog with this adorable interactive card showcasing the beautiful Wonderful Windows die set that I immediately pictured with a brick wall and a kitty when I first saw it.

I first started by stamping a kitty from Purrfect Birthday as well as several branches from Little Birdie on white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. As always I used the coordinating dies to cut them all, and then colored everything using my alcohol markers.

Next I cut the main panel out of bristol cardstock, added details using a brick stencil along with salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks, and then I built the interactive feature, using vellum to create the window, and a Spring Fever pink floral pattern paper + a small piece of woodgrain cardstock to make the inside of the room.

And then I cut the different pieces to build the window + window box. I used white woodgrain cardstock for the window itself, and plain colored cardstock for the other pieces, but used a Spring Fever green dotted pattern paper to make the curtains. I attached them all on the brick panel, and then stamped my "Hoping your day is pawsome" greeting from Garden Fairy + Purrfect Birthday below the window.

Finally I attached my interactive panel on a simple textured yellow panel, and then on a Dots & Stripes Pastels polka dotted purple panel, and as always I finished my card by adding highlights on the images using a white gel pen.

Lawn Fawn - Underwater Magic Iris Card

 Hey there,

Today's card features two shark pirates who have found a treasure hidden in cave deep down in the ocean. I used the Magic Iris die set to create my underwater scene and it's been a while since I used this die so I'm very excited to share this card today!

As always I started with the coloring. I stamped the images using jet black ink, cut them all using the coordinating dies and then colored eveything using my alcohol markers.

After the coloring, I created the cave. I cut three panels out of rainforest, peacock and mermaid cardstock. I put the rainforest aside, and did some dit cutting on the two panels. I took the second stitched den and cut an opening in the middle of the peacock panel, and then took the third stitched den and cut an opening in the middle of the mermaid panel.

And to ground my scene, I cut a wavy border out of vanilla malt paper.

Next I added more depth and shadows to those three cave backgrounds. On the rainforest panel, I applied pine needle distress ink on the outside and inside edges, on the peacock panel I applied lucky clover distress ink on the outside edges, and on the mermaid panel I applied evergreen bough distress ink on the inside edges as well.

And I turned the wavy border into a sand border by using antique linen and vintage photo distress inks.

Next I moved on to the interactive part and it's always easier to understand how to make that kind of cards with images so I invite you to watch the process video below to see how it was done.

Once the entire interactive process was done, I filled my cave background with all the images. And to be able to close the iris, I needed the images inside the circle to stay flat so I used liquid glue to stuck those images, and for the other images I also used glue dots.

I added white highlights and details to the images, and attached my panel on a sugarplum panel that I stuck on a sugarplum card base. Next I cut the arrow handle a second time out of sugarplum paper, and  stuck the small arrow on the magic iris handle. I also white heat embossed my sentiment 'You are jawsome' on cilantro paper, and finally trimmed it into a small banner that I attached right above the cave.

Lawn Fawn - Picnic in the Treehouse

 Hello there,

Today I take you to the backyard to meet a lovely couple celebrating Valentine's day up in the tree house!

As always I started with the coloring: stamped all my images on 80lbs Neenah solar white cardstock using jet black ink, used the coordinating dies to cut them all and my alcohol markers to color everything.

When it was done, I moved on to the background and started by cutting the main panel as well as the arrow handle out of paper bag cardstock. I kept the elements together by using washi tape at the back and stamped a woodgrain texture on the paper using brown ink, and I applied a little bit of vintage photo distress ink on the edges to bring more contrast.

Next I cut the house out of a rainbow paper and used the stitched woodgrain backdrop to create wood texture on that house panel as well. I cut the roof and the floor out of paper bag cardstock and applied vintage photo distress ink on those pieces as well, just like the background.

And I moved on to the magic iris, and I invite you to watch the process video below to see how the whole mechanism was created, images are always better than words to understand ^^

Once the interactive mechanism was done, I started to assemble some pieces, starting with the house. I didn't want it to be too flat on the background so I cut two more houses out of paper bag cardstock and layered my three houses using double sided tape and liquid glue. And then I attached my rainbow house on the panel. I did the same thing for the roof and floor, I cut additional pieces to get dimension, I layered those elements and then glued them on the rainbow house.

My tree also needed some foliage so I used the main die from the magic iris add-on again to cut a green panel, and used a puffy cloud border die to cut three foliage pieces out if this green panel. I applied a bunch of foam squares at the back of each foliage element and stuck them on my panel.

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25" card base out of paper bag cardstock, I stuck a yellow pattern paper on top and temporarily taped the tree house panel on top, and I stuck my wood textured circle right in the middle.

Next I placed my panel in my misti tool, and stamped 'me + you' and a heart below it using vintage photo oxide ink. I applied double sided tape on the stabilizers at the back of magic iris, as well as foam tape all around it, and I stuck my panel on the card base. And finally I attached my images using foam squares and liquid glue.

Isabel Cristina Stamps - Shop Till You Drop Magic Iris Card

 Hi there,

It's been a while since my last Isabel Cristina Stamps so I'm super happy to share this new magic iris card showcasing the new Shop till you drop digital stamp set

I started by printing all my images on 80lbs Neenah solar white cardstock. I cut them all using my Scan 'n Cut machine and as always I used my alcohol markers to color everything.

When it was done, I cut a panel using the Magic Iris add-on by Lawn fawn as well as the arrow handle, I kept everything together using washi tape at the back of the panel, and then created a brick wall using a brick stencil along with dried marigold. And I used frayed burlap distress ink for the ground.

I cut my sentiment using the same die as the background so that the circle could fit perfectly in the middle of my brick panel, I colored that circle using the same light grey marker as the one I used on the iPad image, and to create an opening in that image, I used a small rectangle die that I used twice in order to cut the entire screen of the iPad.

Next I created the magic iris using the Magic Iris die set by Lawn Fawn, and I invite you to check the video below to see the whole process, it's easier to understand the process.

When all the magic iris process was done, I glued a pink arrow on the handle, and next I attached all my images using a combination of liquid glue, glue dots and foam squares. Finally I added white highlights on the images using a white gel pen

Holiday Card Series w/ Sunny Studio - Magic Iris Nativity Scene

Hello there,

Today's card features the lovely Holy Night stamp set by Sunny Studio, I instantly fell in love with that set when it came out but couldn't find time to create something with it so I'm very happy to finally be able to share this video with you.

I started by stamping and cutting all my images using memento tuxedo black ink, 80lbs Neenah solar white, and the coordinating dies. And my alcohol markers to color everything.

Once the coloring was done, I moved in to the background. I cut a panel out of strathmore bristol cardstock using the main die from the Magic Iris add-on by Lawn Fawn, I also cut the arrow handle and I kept all those pieces together using tape at the back. And I created a night sky using three different distress inks: blueprint sketch, chipped sapphire and black soot.

Once I was happy with the blending, I added lots of texture to give more interest to that background: water drops that I dry using a paper towel. Next I smooshed my chipped sapphire and black soot ink pads onto my glass surface, I added a little bit of water and then used a thin brush to create a bunch of dots on the paper. And a night sky needs sparkling stars so I used liquid stardust by Lawn Fawn to make my panel super shiny.

Next I cut all the pieces to build the magic iris: three rings, three sausages, three stabilizers and two tabs, and I started by inking the inside circle of each ring using blueprint sketch distress ink. I also colored the sausages using blueprint sketch again and created the same texture on those three pieces as the texture on my panel.

And then I built the magic iris, and I invite you to watch the video below to see the process ^^

Once the magic iris was complete, I white heat embossed a few stars at the top of my night sky panel, and covered the entire front of the magic iris ring using double sided tape. I attached my panel on the magic iris, making sure to line everything up nicely, I applied a bunch of 3mm foam squares at the back of my panel and attached that panel on a 5,5 x 4,25" light blue panel. Off screen I white heat embossed 'O holy night' on the circle and tucked that circle right in the middle of my panel using liquid glue.

To ground my nativity scene, I colored two grass borders using peeled paint and forest moss distress inks, and stuck those borders at the bottom of my panel. The big one using double sided tape and the small one using foam squares.

Next I finally attached my images, and the last step was to add some clear shimmer on the yellow star and also on the halo behind the baby jesus image.

Impronte d'Autore - Harry Potter Magic Iris Card

Hello there,

Today's card features some super cute images from the Always Believe in Magic and You Are Magical stamp sets by Impronte d'Autore.

I started by stamping the images on 80lb neenah solar white cardstock using memento tuxedo black ink, I cut them all using my Scan 'n Cut and colored everything using my alcohol markers.

When the coloring was done, I moved on to the background. I cut the main panel and the arrow handle out of Strathmore bristol cardstock, I kept everything together using washi tape at the back, and used distress inks to create a dark and magical background: antique linen, evergreen bough, chipped sapphire and black soot.

For the texture, I first added water drops that I dried using a paper towel. Next I smooshed my evergreen bough, chipped sapphire and black soot ink pads onto my glass surface, I added water and splattered drops on the paper. And finally I added a bunch of liquid stardust drops because every magical card needs sparkles.

I let the panel dry and next I colored the bottom. I applied washi tape right above that section and used chipped sapphire and black soot distress inks to create the floor.

To create the magic iris, I started by cutting all the pieces: 3 rings, 3 sausages, 2 tabs and 3 stabilizers. And to match the front panel, I applied some evergreen bough distress ink on the inside of each circle. And I encourage you to watch the video below to see the process of making the mechanism.

Next. I wanted the inside of the iris to match the circle I colored at the beginning along with the main panel. So I used antique linen and evergreen bough distress inks again to make the iris the same as the circle. And of course I added the same textures.

When the iris was dry, I applied double sided tape as well as liquid glue on the front of the ring, I placed the main panel on top, trying to align everything nicely and I pressed down to stick the panel to the magic iris.

I cut a 5,5 x 4,25" card base, a black wooden backdrop and a grey rectangle a little bit smaller than the backdrop, and I attached those elements on top of the other.

Next I opened the iris and placed it on the card base, I applied liquid at the back of the circle and tucked it right in the middle of the panel.

I placed the card base in my misti tool and stamped my sentiment 'Make your own magic', and next I attached the main panel using foam tape.



To create smoke above the cauldron, I cut a cloud out of some pearlescent vellum that I attached at the back of it using liquid glue. And next I stuck everything using foam tape. Finally and to make the scene a little bit more magical, I added some white blizzard nuvo drops.

Lawn Fawn - A Picnic Scene - Magic Iris Card

Hi there,

For today's card, I did my all time favorite thing: I mixed and matched a bunch of sets to create a super cute scene in the countryside. The idea here was that we get back to our mice family again, but just the parents. They dropped off the kids at the grandparents and hit the road to go camping in the countryside, just the two of them.

I first started by stamping all the images on 80lbs neenah solar white cardstock using jet black ink, I used the coordinating dies to cut them all and used my alcohol markers to color all the images.

When the coloring was done, I cut the main panel and the arrow handle out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I temporarily taped the arrow handle to the main panel using washi tape, and I created the sky using the cloudy stencil along with tumbled glass distress ink.

I created texture by adding water drops on my panel that I dried using a paper towel, and I brought a little bit of contrast by mixing salty ocean distress ink with water in order to create tiny drops using a thin brush.

I cut two grass borders out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock again, and colored those elements using shabby shutters and peeled paint distress inks.

Next I moved on to the magic iris and I invite you to follow the link to my video at the end of this post. It's always easier to understand with images ^^ 

When the magic iris was done, I applied double sided tape and liquid glue on the front of the ring, I lined up the main panel on top to stick everything together, and next I attached the grass borders using double sided tape.

Next I created a 5,5 x 4,25" card base using sticky note cardstock along with two pattern papers from the Spring Fling 6 x 6 paper pack and from the Perfectly Plaid Chill 6 x 6 paper pack. I placed my magic iris panel on that card base, applied liquid glue at the back of my sentiment circle and tucked that circle right in the middle. And finally I applied foam at the back of the magic iris panel and stuck it in place on the card base.

I attached the images using glue dots and foam squares to bring dimension on some parts of the scene. When everything was attached, I added white highlights on the images and finally added a yellow arrow on the handle to match the pretty yellow paper on the card base.

Lawn Fawn - You're The Zest - Magic Iris Card

Hey there,

I'm back today with our cute mice family. The last time we saw them, they were making strawberry jam. This time, it's all about lemons: trees and pies!

I started with the coloring. Like always I used a whole lot of stamp sets and everything is listed below the video at the end of this post. All the images were stamped using jet black ink and colored using alcohol markers.

When it was done, I created the background. I die cut the front panel and the arrow handle and I kept everything together using washi tape. And I created a pretty sky using the Cloudy Stencil along with tumbled glass and salty ocean distress inks. I added texture by splattering water on the paper, and I also mixed the same inks with water to create blue splatters.

Next I cut three grass borders and used shabby shutters and mowed lawn distress inks to colored them. And for the texture, I mixed the same inks with water and splattered drops on the borders.

Next I moved on to the magic iris. Please check the video below to see the process ^^

When the Iris was done, I cut a 5,25 x 4" panel using a yellow paper from the Really Rainbow 6x6 paper pack, I lined up my front panel on top and glued the circle in the middle. I stamped my sentiment on the circle using the Harold's ABCs stamp set, and applied double sided tape on the entire front of the magic iris. I removed the backing papers, and placed the Iris behind the front panel. I align everything as nicely as possible to get all the clouds lined up. I pressed down to stick everything and next I applied doubled sided tape on the stabilizers only at the back of the iris.

I also added foam tape around the iris in order to have the same height as the ring everywhere, I removed all the backing papers, kept the Iris open and attached the panel to the yellow panel. And next I attached the grass borders. The tall one using double sided tape, and the others using foam tape and foam squares.

Next I attached all the images using glue dots, foam squares and liquid glue. When it was done, I cut a 5,5 x 4,25" stitched rectangle using a paper from the Spring Fling 6x6 paper pack, I stuck this paper on a cilantro card base, and attached my magic Iris panel on top.

Finally I cut the arrow out of cilantro cardstock and attached it on the handle, and added white highlights on the images to make them pop a little bit more.
