Sunny Studio - Baking Spirits Bright Box Card

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back on Sunny Studio's blog today with this new 3D card showcasing the adorable cookies from Baking Spirits Bright, and as you can see I used those cute images to create a magical gingerbread scene.

I started off by stamping the images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, as always I used the matching dies to cut them all, and used my alcohol markers to color everything.

I stamped and colored the gingerbread man, the house, the big and small candy canes, two snowmen, the snowflake, and a few trees from Baking Spirits Bright, as well as the gingerbread couple from Christmas Cookies. And I went for my favorite color palette this season, which is brown + red + pink + green + turquoise. After the coloring I added highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen.

Next I cut all the different pieces to build my 3D card using the Scallop Box Card die set by Pretty Pink Posh. I picked a dark kraft cardstock for the base of the card to match the gingerbread theme, as well as several All Is Bright colorful pattern papers. I stamped my "Sugar & spice make Christmas so nice" greeting from Baking Spirits Bright on the panel that goes on the front of the card in gold and white, I assembled and glued all those elements, and once my card base was done, I attached the images on the inside, and on the outside as well using 3mm glue dots, liquid glue and 1mm foam squares.

I started off by covering a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock with spun sugar distress ink to get a nice light pink base. And next I used the Layered Winter Wreath stencils along with shabby shutters, mowed lawn, vintage photo and festive berries oxide inks to create a beautiful wreath. I mixed some festive berries oxide ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on the paper, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Next I cut all the bits and pieces out of different colored cardstock, added more character to each element using oxide inks and sponge daubers, and then attached everything on my panel using foam squares and liquid glue. 

Here is a detailed list of the items I picked:

• Holiday Birds: birds • Holiday Mug Additions: bow, pine branches • Decorative Birdhouses: birdhouse, heart pieces, pole • Winter Foliage: leaves, poinsettias, branches, pine cone, berries

Next I gold foiled my Merry Christmas Script Hot Foil Plate on white cardstock, cut those words using the Merry Christmas Shadow dies, and then attached all the elements on my panel using foam squares and liquid glue.

As final details, I added highlights at some places using a white gel pen, glossy accents on the red berries to make those pieces super shiny, and finally gave each bird a black eye using Onyx pearls.

Pretty Pink Posh - Holiday Stockings & Winter Birds - October 2023 Release

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be sharing with you this bright and festive sneak peek showcasing several of the Pretty Pink Posh October 2023 Release: the beautiful Holiday Stockings, the lovely Winter Birds, and the amazing Winter Words stencil.

I started off by cutting a Slimline Peekaboo Window panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. I covered the whole piece of paper with spun sugar distress ink, and then used the Winter Words stencil along with worn lipstick distress ink to print a bunch of "Joy", "Merry & Bright" and "Holly" words all over the panel. I applied a little bit more of worn lipstick distress ink all along the four edges of my panel, and then added some texture: I mixed some festive berries distress ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on my paper, and did the same with white liquid ink.

Next I moved on to the coloring, and stamped all 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 alcohol markers in a bright and colorful palette.

Here is a detailed list of the sets I used: • Holiday Stockings: stockings, holly leaves, candy canes, presents, teddy bear, baubles • Winter Birds: birds • Spring Robins: branches

Once the coloring was done, I attached the images on my Winter Words panel using foam squares, I stuck my panel on an 8,5 x 3,5 inches red & white stripy panel, and then on a white card base. I gold heat embossed the "Happy Holidays" greeting from Sentiment Strips: Christmas on white cardstock, trimmed into a slim banner using a die from Sentiment Strips, and attached it on my panel using foam squares.

To bring more shine to my card, I stuck a few Metallic Gold Pearls here and there, and finally added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen. And that's it! I hope that you like this cute and festive card. Thank you so much for stopping by, see you soon!

Sunny Studio - Holiday Hugs - Halloween Version

Hi there,

I'm thrilled to be back on Sunny Studio's blog with this cute Halloween card showcasing Holiday Hugs, and once again, I'm happy to show you that this set can be used all year long. I've already used it on a Fall themed card, and today we're getting in a spooky mood.

I used the same design as my Fall themed card, and started by stamping all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Graph'it brush markers. And to get in a spooky mood, I did what I often do: I went through my Sunny Studio collection to find images that would fit the theme perfectly. Here are the sets I used:

• Holiday Hugs: bear, cup

• Bewitching: witch hat

• Little Birdie: birds (to make crows)

• Fall Scenes: small bats

• Baby Elephants: star balloons

• Too Cute To Spook: pumpkins, smiles, big bat, stars

• Balloon Rides: banners

Next I cut a Frilly Frame Eyelet Lace Strathmore bristol smooth panel, added texture to it using the Dotted Diamond Portrait backdrop, and colored it using hickory smoke and black soot distress inks. I mixed some black soot distress ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on the panel, and did the same with white ink.

I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Amazing Argyle purple pattern paper, stuck it to an A2 purple card base, and attached my Frilly Frame panel on top of it using foam tape. I white heat embossed my "Happy Halloween!" greeting from Too Cute To Spook on a black banner, and attached it on my panel, along with all the images using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. As always I finished my card by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

Lawn Fawn - Monochromatic Halloween Ta-Da Diorama

Hey there,

I'm thrilled to be back on Lawn Fawn YouTube Channel & Blog with this new monochromatic Halloween card showcasing the amazing Ta-Da Diorama die set! Love this new set so much! It also features Spooky Village and Booyah, which are probably my most favorite Halloween stamp sets from Lawn Fawn.

As very often I started by stamping all my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Jet Black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and used my Graph'it brush grey and black markers to color everything. And once the coloring was done, I added highlights and details on the images using a white gel pen.

Next I silver foiled a Black Licorice piece of paper using the Starry Sky Background Hot Foil Plate, and then used the main piece die from the Ta-Da Diorama die set to a panel out of it, and this way create the back panel of my diorama. I cut another panel using that same die again out of Black Shimmery cardstock, and used the window creator die from the set to cut an opening in the center of my shimmery panel. I cut two side panels out of a Let It Shine Starry Skies grey pattern papers. Cut two insert pieces out of grey Woodgrain cardstock. And finally cut two band pieces.

I assembled all those different pieces to build my diorama, and please watch the video down below to see the whole process. I always more comprehensible with images than with words ^^

Once my diorama was built, I attached my images both on the inside and on the outside of the diorama. For the images on the inside I started with the ones on the back panel using 1mm foam squares, and for the ones on the insert pieces I used 3mm glue dots and liquid glue. And for the images on the outside (the ones on the front panel) I used 1mm and 2mm foam squares and liquid glue.

Next I worked on the greeting. I cut a Simple Wavy Banner out of Black Licorice cardstock, I stamped the "Have a faboolous day" sentiment from Tiny Halloween using Clear Embossing ink and Silver Embossing powder, and finally attached the banner at the top of Ta-Da Diorama using 1mm foam squares.
