Sunny Studio - Spring Garden Tags

jeudi 14 mars 2024

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

mardi 12 mars 2024


Hi there,

Spring is in the air, and Pretty Pink Posh March 2024 Release is packed with adorable Spring and Easter products. Whether you like cutesy, whimsical, or timeless designs, this release has something for everyone!

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

jeudi 7 mars 2024

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


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.

Lawn Fawn - Lucky Rainbow Unicorns - Oxide Ink Background

mardi 5 mars 2024

Hello there,

I'm thrilled to be back on Lawn Fawn YouTube Channel & Blog with this super bright rainbow card showcasing multiple items, including My Rainbow that was part of the Spring 2024 Release.


I started off by stamping my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using Jet Black ink. I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers. Here is a detailed list of the stamps I picked:

 My Rainbow - unicorn, rainbows, clouds  All The Clouds - rainbow, clouds  Unicorn Picnic - unicorn, fairies  A Little Sparkle - unicorn, fairies


Once the coloring was done, I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel and created a soft rainbow base using, from the top left hand corner towards the bottom right hand corner: kitsch flamingo, dried marigold, squeezed lemonade, twisted citron and salvaged patina.

I taped one of the Clover Background stencils (the one with the largest pattern) on top of my panel, and applied picked raspberry, carved pumpkin, mustard seed, mowed lawn and peacock feathers oxide inks for a tone on tone look. Next I taped the second stencil and applied the same inks again. And for a sparkling look, I kept that second stencil in place, and applied Fairy Dust paste all over the panel.


While my panel was drying, I created my sentiment. I started off by cutting the word "Lucky" out of Gold Glitter cardstock and out of White cardstock using Henry's ABCs dies. I attached the gold glitter letters on top of the white ones, but shifted them a tiny bit to get a white border. And then stamped my "To have you as my friend" greeting from Rub A Dub Dub using Clear embossing ink and Gold embossing powder on the largest cloud.

Next I attached my panel on a white card base, stuck all the images and greetings using 1mm and 2mm foam squares, added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and finished my card with white blizzard nuvo drops on the clouds to make them extra shiny.
