The Stamp Stop - Artsy Fartsy by The Sassy Club

Hi there,

I'm super happy to be back as a guest designer for The Stamp Stop, a brand new European retailer for different brands: The Sassy Club, Streamside Studios, The Stamp Market, The Greeting Farm and more to come. They kindly sent me the lovely Artsy Fartsy stamp set by The Sassy Club, and I'm happy to be sharing my first card featuring that set, one more card coming very soon.

A little note: if there is something you want at The Stamp Stop and it's not available or sold out, make sure to contact them in private on their Instagram page, or directly via the contact form on the website.

I started off by creating the background on a 5 x 3,75 inches kraft panel using the Lawn Fawn Paint Splatter Background stencil. When I stencil on kraft cardstock, I like to create a white base first, so I tape the stencil on top of my panel and used white pigment ink to create my white base. Next I shifted the stencil a little bit to the right, and used different oxide inks to color each paint splatter: lumberjack plaid, rusty hinge, fossilized amber, peeled paint and peacock feathers. I mixed some vintage photo oxide ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters all over the panel, and I did the same with copic opaque white ink and with fossilized amber distress spritz for some shiny accents.

I set my panel aside to dry, and stamped the images on kraft cardstock using Detail Black ink by Pinkfresh Studio. I cut them using my scan 'n cut machine, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and Graph'it brush markers. I also stamped "Color my world" on the canvas, colored the letters and stamped several splatters using Lawn Fawn premium dye inks. And I added the same textures as before on the canvas.

I attached the images on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details using a white gel pen, and applied glossy accents on the palette. I die cut the word Friends out of textured yellow cardstock and out of kraft cardstock, I layered both words, attached the whole piece above the easel using 2mm foam squares, and finally stuck my to a 5,5 x 4,25 inches light brown woodgrain card base.

Sunny Studio - At The Pumpkin Festival

Hello there,

I'm back on the Sunny Studio blog with this new slimline autumn card featuring the mouse family again! This time the whole family is having fun at the pumpkin festival, and once again, I used many images from different sets (listed down below), as well as the Brilliant Banner 4 which goes perfectly with the hot air balloon from Balloon Rides, to create this lovely card.

I started off by cutting an 8,5 x 3,5 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel that I stenciled to create a very simple background. On the upper half, I created clouds using a cloud stencil from my stash along with salvaged patina and peacock feathers oxide inks. And on the bottom half, I created grassy hills using a hill stencil from my stash along with mowed lawn and rustic wilderness oxide inks.

Next I stamped my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush markers.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Happy Harvest - sunflowers, mushrooms • Turkey Day - pie, cup, slice of pie, leaves • Seasonal Trees - birds • Merry Mice - large mice, scarves • Fall Friends - acorns, stump • Bountiful Autumn - large pumpkins • Fall Scenes - small pumpkins • Beach Bus - small mice • Balloon Rides - hot air balloon, banners, clouds • Christmas Critters - mouse (in the balloon)

Once the coloring was done, I worked on my greeting using Brilliant Banner 4 dies. I cut the front piece and the back piece out of different shades of cardstock, white heat embossed "Autumn greetings" from Turkey Day on the front piece, attached that front piece to the back piece using 1mm foam squares, and then stuck everything, images and banner, to my slimline panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. As always, to finish my card I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.
