Sunny Studio - Big Bunny Easter Card

jeudi 28 mars 2024

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

mardi 26 mars 2024

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



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

samedi 23 mars 2024

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

jeudi 21 mars 2024

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

mercredi 20 mars 2024

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.
