Sunny Studio : Sliding Window Card

Hi everyone! Lexa here today with an interactive card using Sunny Studio's brand new dies called Sliding Window Dies which is has been everyone's favorite since the release. I pair it with the cutest Home Sweet Gnome Stamps this time. Even if you're not a gnomes fan, make sure to check this one out because it's too cute to be missed.

First, I want to make a little scene with these gnomes in it. I cut 3"x4" watercolor paper and start to paint the grass and also the sky. I use Mowed Lawn, Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Inks for the watercolor, just simply scribble them on acrylic block/piece of plastic and add some waters. When I'm happy with the scene, I adhere it to the bottom part of the sliding window and they look super cute! I stamped the images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring I cut them with the coordinating dies. Clean cut images always make me happy. I even love the pun "gnome one makes me smile like you do", so sweet yet fun!

On the back, I blend the same Mowed Lawn Distress Inks and stamp a hidden setiment from Happy Thoughts Stamp and add little hearts next to it. That's all for today! I'm so happy with the final result, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Have a wonderful day and see you next time.

Look how glossy and pretty the damask pattern with embossing technique.

Sunny Studio Fall Slider Card

Hi everyone! Lexa here today with a slider card featuring the brand new products from Sunny Studio. You must be agree with me that this release is amazing. So many innovative dies and wide range of adorable stamps. One of my favorite is Fall Kiddos, this stamp set also works so well with other ones as you gonna see in today's card.

With Sliding Window Dies you can create interactive cards in an easier way. It has extra tag dies inside the set too. First, I stamped all the images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. After finished with the coloring I cut each images with the coordinating dies. A little tips from me, you will need the tree dies from Happy Harvest stamp set just because you want to make your life easier. LOL. The coordinating dies cut very detailed to every little space in between the brances. I use the brand new Preppy Prints and Amazing Argyle paper pad to show you how amazing this patterned papers from Sunny Studio are. Love the bright and subtle colors, of course the quality is no doubt. Plus they coordinate so well together, you don't have to think much then.

Here's the closer look if you pull out the tab, it'll show you a hidden message. I especially love the wood grain patterned paper, so beautiful.

As if there are not enough suprises, you can create another one on top part of the card. This sweet little girl is popping up to say hello with sunflowers beside her.

And here's how the card looks when it's closed. You can easily put this interactive card inside a normal envelope and mail them. It's so perfect right?

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoy today's inspiration and get creative soon. Have an amazing day to you and your beloved ones!

Sunny Studio : Pizza My Heart

Hello everyone! Lexa here today with a very pun card using Fast Food Fun stamps and the coordinating dies. Let's get started..

First, I cut a piece of watercolor paper and use Distress Inks to create the background. I scribble some Candied Apple and Spiced Marmalade on an acrylic block then spray some water to it. After that I press it to the watercolor paper until I satisfied with it. To fast speeding the proccess I use heat gun to dry the watercolor splash. I also add some polkadots in the background use Background Basics stamp and pink embossing powder, it adds textures to my card.

I stamped the pizzas three times with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring, I use the coordinating dies to cut them. It makes me crave some pizzas right now. Then I stamp the sentiment in the bottom part with the exact same black ink. The golden hearts are added for more sparkle and fun. Here's a closer look of my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you like today's card, have a wonderful day to you and your beloved ones!

Sunny Studio : Shadow Box Mermaid Card

Hello everyone! Lexa here today with a new technique inside shadow box card that I've learned from Jennifer McGuire's youtube chanel. I just love this kind of simple yet surprising greeting cards, they will make anyone's day. Don't you think so? I use the older stamp sets from Sunny Studio called Oceans Of Joy and Magical Mermaids.

I keep the front card simple and adorable, I use the turqoise polkadots patterned paper from Polka-Dot Parade just because polkadot is life. Yes, I love it that much. I create a circle panel with basic dies then blend Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Inks. I also stamp some bubbles with matching dye inks on the background. All the images are stamped with Versafine black ink and watercolored with Distress Markers like I always do. I curve the sentiment and stamp it on the bottom part of the circle. The adorable turtle along with his little friends bring two baloons for someone inside this card..

Ok, this is the most exciting part... when you open the card, it creates a shadow box inside. Look who's here? The little mermaid and her little fellas. I love it so much and I think I will make ton of cards like this in the future. I adhere some of the images in the front panel and some of them in the back to create a proper dimensions..

This is how the card looks like from different side. I stamp "happy birthday" inside.

Sunny Studio - It's Your Day!

Hello everyone! Lexa here today with a summer shaker card featuring Beach Babies Stamps and the coordinating dies. I believe many of you already know how cute this stamp set is with all the beach accesories you can make as many as designs you can imagined.

The basic idea is to create a shaker card on the ocean part with some sequins and fishes. So I come up with this card..

First I stamp all the images with Versafine black ink and watercolor them with Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring I use the coordinating dies to cut them. I also add a little crab, starfish and some fishes from both Oceans Of Joy and Magical Mermaids stamps. Those little people are having so much fun at the beach! I use Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink for the sky and Tea Dye for the sand. To create the ocean, I blend some Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks before create the rectangle shaker window. You can't go wrong with shaker cards, anyone love them since they are so much fun!

I really enjoy making this card, I hope you love it as much as I do. Thank you so much for stopping by today and have a great day!

Sunny Studio - Happy Camper Card

Hi everyone! Lexa here today with a card that highlighting Happy Camper Stamp and the coordinating dies. This mini stamp set is complimenting Critter Campout Stamp so here I go pairing both of them for today's card.

First of all I stamp polkadots border stamp from Background Basics with pink dye inks couple times to fill in all the background. To create the little scene I use rounded corners rectangle and blend some Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick, Ripe Persimmon and Crushed Olives. I go with a pink sunset sky, sometime if I was lucky enough I could see the real pink sky.. it's really pretty in real life never fail to amaze me everytime I stare at it. 

 The adorable little deer is roasting her sausages at the fireplace. And it's super fun to have pine trees dies that come with the Happy Campers Coordinating Dies. The white dots are added to create more textures to my card. Last but not least, I stamped the sentiment on the orange fish tail banner.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you like it as much as I do. Have a wonderful day!
