Sunny Studio - Big Bunny Easter Card

Hello there,

I'm very happy to be back on Sunny Studio's blog with this lovely Easter card featuring the adorable Big Bunny and cute chickie friends. Another colorful card just as I like them to be!

I started off by stamping all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I used the matching dies to cut them all, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

And as very often, I mixed and matched images from different sets:

• Big Bunny for the bunny, Easter basket, bow

• Chickie Baby for the chicks, bunny ears, eggs

• Chubby Bunny for the chocolate bunnies, flowers, banner, egg

• Bunnyville for a flower

For my background, I cut a few pieces, starting with a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Spring Fever floral panel that I attached on a white card base. Next I cut a light brown woodgrain scalloped rectangle using the Frilly Frames Hexagon main die, and cut an opening out of it using the second Stitched Rectangle die in order to create a frame.

I also cut a grass border out of a Spring Fever green polka dot paper using a Picket Fence die, attached that grass border at the back of my frame at the very bottom using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck my whole frame on the card base using 2mm foam squares. I attached everything on the card using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

Lawn Fawn - Veggie Happy Tomato House

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back on Lawn Fawn YouTube Channel & Blog today with this slimline card that features two of my favorite things: a stenciled background and lots of images! As you can see, the mice family is back, and this time they're busy in the garden, taking care of the new patch and picking the ripe tomatoes.

I started off by stenciling a lovely landscape on an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I divided in three parts: a soil/muddy section at the bottom, hills in the middle, and the sky at the top. To make the soil section, I used antique linen and vintage photo oxide inks, to make the hills I used shabby shutters, mowed lawn and rustic wilderness oxide inks along with a Slimline Hillside stencil, and to make the sky I used tumbled glass and broken china oxide inks along with a Slimline Cloudy stencil.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces to build my tomato house out of different colored cardstock using the Pumpkin House, Mushroom House and Outside In Stitched Strawberry die sets:

• Chili Pepper for the tomato • Algea for the leaves and stem • Tide Pool for the door • Fog for the chimney • Light Brown Woodgrain for the door and windows • Sticky Note for the light inside the house

And I cut the Little Farm Fence out of White Woodgrain cardstock.

Next I stamped all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Jet Black ink, I used the matching dies to cut them all, and colored everything using my alcohol markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used:

• Veggie happy for most of the images and the greeting • Veggie happy add-on for the worm • Carrot 'bout you banner add-on for the tiny heart • Kanga-rrific add-on for the grass • Apple-solutely awesome for a mouse • Berry special for the sign and "Pick your own" message

Once the coloring was done, I assembled the tomato house, and attached everything on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I added highlights and details using a white gel pen, and stamped my greeting using black versafine ink.

Pretty Pink Posh - Butterfly Hugs & Kisses

Hello there,

I'm very happy to be back with this new card showcasing some items from the Pretty Pink Posh March 2024 Release. This card features stamped and die cut elements, a stenciled background, and as very often I went for a bright and colorful palette.

I first created my Layered Butterfly Floral background on a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel with a soft ink blended base using, from the top to the bottom: shaded lilac, salvaged patina and shabby shutters oxide inks. Next I used the first three stencils, and one after the other, applied wilted violet, peacock feathers and mowed lawn oxide inks for a tone on tone look.

Next I added texture to my panel. I splattered water all over it that I dried using a paper towel. I also mixed white ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on the panel, and then did the same with black soot oxide ink.

Next I stamped three Decorative Butterflies on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using dye inks. For the purple butterfly, I used fresh lavender for the base and grape jelly for the details (both inks by Lawn Fawn) For the aqua butterfly I used mermaid for the base and peacock for the details (both inks by Lawn Fawn) And the for the green butterfly I used frayed leaf for the base and forest glades for the details (both inks by Altenew) I used jet black ink by Lawn Fawn to stamp the bodies, cut the pieces using the matching dies and set them aside.

I cut four different Stitched Butterflies out of colored cardstock that match the background, and to make those butterflies stand out even more on the panel, I cut them again out of silver glitter cardstock. I cut the bodies out of black cardstock, as well as some tiny butterflies using a Butterfly Cover Plate die.

I assembled the stamped butterflies and the die cut ones, and attached everything on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I silver heat embossed my "Hugs & kisses" greeting from Sentiment Strips: Valentine on white cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and then attached it on my panel using foam squares again. And I felt like those butterflies needed something else, so I glued matching pearls on their wings.

Sunny Studio - Puddle Jumpers by the Duck Pond

Hello there,

I'm happy to be back on Sunny Studio's blog with this super cute scene at the park by the pond featuring the adorable Puddle Jumpers!

As very often I picked a bunch of images from different sets (listed down below) to make my card, and started off by stamping them all on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the items I used on this card:

• Puddle Jumpers - girl, ducks, umbrella

• Sprawling Surfaces - pavement

• Balloon Rides - clouds, sun, small trees

• Critters On The Go - dog

• Country Scenes - pond, cattails, waterlilies

• Spring Scenes - park, big trees

Once everything was colored, I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and colored the top using a cloud stencil from my stash along with lost shadow and hickory smoke oxide inks. Next I white heat embossed my "A little ray of sunshine is on the way" greeting from Puddle Jumpers at the bottom of the pond section, and then attached everything on my bristol panel using foam squares. And as always I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

Pretty Pink Posh - Spring Mug

Hello there,

I'm super happy to share with you this lovely card that features some of the brand new products from the Pretty Pink Posh March 2024 Release: the Spring Mug Additions die set and the Layered Floral Vines stencils. Love how both items match so beautifully, such a great duo!

First thing I created was the background. I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and started off by covering the piece of paper with spun sugar oxide ink to get a nice soft base. Next I used the Layered Floral Vines stencils to add flowers and greenery to this light pink background. For the flowers I applied worn lipstick oxide ink that I blended in with spun sugar oxide ink, and used worn lipstick again for the center of the flowers. And for the greenery I applied rustic wilderness oxide ink that I blended in with mowed lawn oxide ink.

Every time I create an ink blended background, I like to add texture to make it more interesting. So I first splattered some water all over the panel that I dried using a paper towel. Next I mixed some white ink with water and used a small brush to add more splatters to my panel, and then did the same with black soot oxide ink.

While my panel was drying, I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock. I used most of the Spring Mug Additions dies to cut everything, but also used the mug and the beverage dies from Winter Mug, as well as the sign die from Big Easter Cupcake to complete my little scene. I cut the bees' wings out of pearlescent vellum, added black stripes to their bodies using a black marker, and white heat embossed my "Happy Spring" greeting from Easter Signs on the sign. I assembled and attached everything on my Layered Floral Vines panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and added highlights and details using a white gel pen.

Sunny Studio - Spring Garden Tags

Hello there,

I'm back on Sunny Studio's blog with a trio of tags featuring Spring Garden, which includes the perfect dies to create lovely scenes during springtime. Really love that set!

I started off by cutting different Scalloped Square Tags panels to build my tags:

• three blue tags using floral pattern papers from Spring Fever and from Spring Fling

• three green tags using a grass pattern paper from Spring Fever

• three white tags, to make the back of my tags nice

I cut a Mini Grass Border out of each grassy tag, and attached a grass border at the bottom of each blue floral tag using 1mm foam squares. And then I stuck each blue tag on a white one. I also cut three Picket Fences that I attached on each tag.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock using Spring Garden dies for most of them, but also used the bird from Build A Birdhouse, the boots from Rainy Days, and the low plant box from Wonderful Windows. I assembled all those cute pieces, and attached them on each tag using foam squares.

For my greetings, I started off by cutting three Brilliant Banners 1 bases out of different colored cardstock. I also cut the front pieces out of Dots & Stripes Pastels pattern papers, white heat embossed "Hello spring" from Chubby Bunny on each piece, and attached those banner front pieces on the banner bases using 1mm foam squares. I attached a banner on each tag, tied some ribbon and twine at the top of each tag, and added a small black pearl on each bird to make the eye.

Pretty Pink Posh March 2024 Instagram Hop - Spring Train

Hi there,

Make sure to check my post on Instagram and hop along to get inspiration for your Spring and Easter projects!

*****

Pretty Pink Posh March 2024 Release comes a new train addition! Yay! It's the Easter Train, and you can use it either for Spring or for Easter, I guarantee you will have lots of fun! For my Valentine Train card back in January I picked an A2 size panel, but since my Birthday Train card last month, the slimline size has become my favorite to showcase multiple wagons and create even cuter scenes! I already look forward to seeing the next train addition!

I started off by cutting an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel to create my background on. I colored the very bottom of it using shabby shutters oxide ink, and the rest of the panel using salvaged patina oxide ink. To make this background more interesting, I used the Mini Polka Dots stencil along with mowed lawn oxide ink on the lower part and peacock feathers oxide ink on the upper part for a tone on tone look.

Next I mixed some white ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on the panel, and then white heat embossed my "Welcome Spring" sentiment from Easter Signs in the middle of my panel.

I stamped my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and my Graph'it brush markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamps I picked:

• Easter Train - 1st + 4th wagons • Valentine Train - locomotive, 2nd + 3rd wagons, railway, smoke • Easter Cupcakes - sheep • Ghost Friends - bows • Hedgehog Friends - flowers, leaves, butterflies

I attached all my images on the panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, and finished my card by adding highlights and details using a white gel pen.

Sunny Studio - A Wicker Basket of Strawberries for Springtime

Hello there,

I'm so happy to be back on Sunny Studio's blog with this 3D spring card showcasing some yummy strawberries from Berry Bliss and the beautiful Wicker Basket. When I first saw this new die, I knew I'd pair it with flowers or fruits, and my pick was strawberries because they always remind me of my grandfather's garden during spring and summer.

I started off by building my 3D card base. I cut the main pieces out of kraft cardstock, the grass insert pieces out of green cardstock, and the decorative pieces out of a Spring Fever pattern paper. I assembled everything, and then moved on to stamping the strawberries from Berry Bliss.

I used Lawn Fawn premium dye inks: Ballet Slippers for the 1st layer, Peachy Keen for the 2nd, and Guava for the 3rd one. And for the stems I used Altenew crisp dye inks: Frayed Burlap for the 1st layer, and Forest Glades for the 2nd one. Next I used my heat gun to dry the inks and make sure the layers stay crisp and detailed, and then I used the coordinating die to cut all my strawberries.

Next I did some die cutting, and first cut a Picket Fence out of white woodgrain cardstock. I cut the basket from Wicker Basket out of kraft cardstock, added some vintage photo oxide inks and texture to make it less flat. I also cut the flowers and the bow from the same dit set. I also cut several Spring Greenery leaves that I colored using shabby shutters and mowed lawn oxide inks, added texture, and cut more greenery out of green cardstock.

I attached four strawberries inside the Wicker Basket, put the bow on the handle, added lots of greenery and flowers, and then attached everything inside the card using 3mm glue dots. For my greeting, I embossed "Spring" from Big Bunny in gold on white cardstock and trimmed it into a slim banner, and I embossed "Greetings" from the same set in white on aqua cardstock, cut it using the matching die, and then attached both pieces on the front of my card using 1mm foam squares.

For this blog hop, I went for a bunny theme, and started off by cutting a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel. I wanted to use the Layered Bunny Faces stencils to create rows of rainbow bunnies, and to make the colors stand out on the kraft panel, I started off by applying white pigment ink on the paper using the stencil A.

Next I used that same stencil to make my rainbow bunnies, but shifted it a little bit to the right, and applied kitsch flamingo, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron and salvaged patina oxide inks. I followed that order on each row, but moved the colors so that the bunny pattern wouldn't be repetitive.

For the ears and noses, I used the stencil B and picked darker shades of inks that match the bunnies: picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, mustard seed, mowed lawn and peacock feathers. And I didn't want the details to be too bold, so I used vintage photo oxide inks along with the stencil C to add them. Once my Layered Bunny Faces background was done, I mixed some white ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters all over the panel.

Next I die cut all the bits and pieces out of colored cardstock or gold glitter cardstock. I assembled and attached everything on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, leaving enough space at the bottom for my greeting. Here is a detailed list of the elements I used:

• Big Easter Cupcake - cupcake wrapper, bunny head and paws, grass, small carrots

• Easter Mug Additions - bunny ears, nose and cheeks, big carrots, bow, flowers

• Big Birthday Cupcake - cake

I white heat embossed my "Somebunny loves you" greeting from Sentiments Strips: Easter on dark brown cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and attached it below the cupcake using 2mm foam squares. Added highlights and details using a white gel pen, and then moved on to the see-through bunny tag.

*****

When a new shaker die set is released, I like to make a see-through tag with it. So when I saw the super cute Bunny Face Shaker die from the Pretty Pink Posh March 2024 Release, I knew I'd have fun making another of those see-through shaker tags!

I started off by cutting a bunny face frame out of white cardstock, as well as a whole bunny face out of acetate that I attached at the back of the bunny face frame using liquid glue. I used the handle die from Build A Stocking to cut a handle for my tag. Cut two of those, assembled them using liquid glue, and attached my handle at the top back of my bunny face frame using liquid glue again.

Next I cut another white bunny face frame, and another whole acetate bunny face that I attached on top of the bunny face frame using liquid glue. I added foam strips all around the face, following the shape of it, and on the ears too. I poured some Springtime Shaker Beads inside the frame, and then stuck the first frame on top of the foam strips to totally close my Bunny Face Shaker.

I white heat embossed my "Hopping by to say hello" greeting from Sentiment Strips: Easter on some aqua cardstock, trimmed it into a fishtail banner using a Sentiment Strips die that I attached right below my tag, and next I gave my bunny a face. Here is a detailed list of the items I picked:

• Bunny Shaker Face - ears, nose and mouth

• Valentine Mug Additions - heart shaped cheeks

• Easter Mug Additions - paws and eyes

I added a few highlights here and there using a white gel pen, tied a pink bow that I attached on the bunny's head using liquid glue, and finally added gold thread on the handle.
