Sunny Studio Spring Scene Card

Hi there! Today I'm sharing a cheerful spring scene framed up with the Rounded Rectangle Mat dies from Sunny Studio. To create the scene I have used images from the Foxy Friends stamp set along with a mix of stand alone dies. 


The list below is a break down of all the Sunny Studio products needed to create this A2 card design plus how each was used.



To color the sky area, grass, and fence, I used the following Catherine Pooler inks: for the sky - Oh Boy; for the grass - Garden Party; for the fence - Sand Castle. 

Copics used for coloring the images: fox - E13, E15, E17, W1, W3; chicks - YR30, Y11, Y18; watering can- T2, T4; wagon - N6, E44, RV10, RV04; flowers in pot - E11, E13, RV23, RV25, YR12, YR16, YG11, YG17.

Pinkfresh Studio Pure Bliss Blog Hop


Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to be joining PinkFresh Studio today for a blog hop to showcase their newest release, Pure Bliss. I have made some cards to share but first I wanted to let you know about some exciting giveaways.

Be sure to check out the Pink Fresh Studio blog & YouTube channel where they are giving away the full release to one lucky winner.

Also they are giving away a total of ten $50 gift cards! Winners will be selected from comments left all along the hop. PinkFresh will post the winners on their giveaway page on February 19th, 2025. You must check that page and claim your prize within 2 weeks of that date. 

You should have just arrived from Anett's blog

Your next stop on the hop is Andrea's blog

Now on to the cards I've made....  I was instantly inspired by the new Classic Correspondence product suite which includes a stamp set, press plates, stencils, and coordinating dies. 


The Classic Correspondence sets have a stationary theme and I just love all the cute images so much. I added as many as could onto the above card design. I used the Classic Correspondence Press Plate to foil the images then colored them in with the coordinating stencils.  Other PinkFresh products used to create this card: the new Stitched Basket Weave Coverplate for the white textured background and the Dotted Fancy Frames dies for the yellow frame.

For the card below I have used some of the Classic Correspondence images again with a large floral element for a clean and simple design. 



Here's a close up so you can see how detailed that Stitched Basket Weave Coverplate is. It adds a wonderful pattern to the background without distracting from the focal images. 


I have a bonus card to share created with a pair of products from this release - the Floral Field stencil set and Floral Field die. I was so impressed by how quick and easy this duo creates a really pretty grouping of florals that fills an A2 card front. I choose to use spring colors for my flowers. I love pink and yellow together! I then used three shades of green to color the foliage which I think helps gives the illusion of depth. It looks layered doesn't it? but it's not. It's all one large die cut piece which makes it so easy to adhere to the card front. Simply add a greeting and it's done! 


That's all from me today. Just FYI, there will be an Instagram Hop for the Pure Bliss Release tomorrow (Feb 12th) at 9am CST with more chances to win a $50 gift card. See you then!

Sunny Studio Custom Birthday Card

Hello! I have another birthday card share and this one has been customized. I have used the Balloon Numbers stamp set and coordinating dies from Sunny Studio to add the age the recipient is turning. 

I had this idea for a simple scene with the cute little bird and branch images from the Little Birdie stamp set. It was super easy to customize the card with a fun sentiment and the balloon numbers. 


This card design is really easy to recreate and only uses the two stamp sets with their coordinating dies - Little Birdie for the bird, bow, & branch images plus the words "a little birdie told me you're" and Balloon Numbers for the numbers & the word "today"

My background was created with combo of Catherine Pooler Sparkling Berry and Wintergreen inks.


I hand drew the balloon strings with a ruler and a fine tip black maker. Copics used for coloring are as follows: birds - YR30, Y11, Y18, W1, W4, R20;  branches - E42, E44, YG61, YG63

Since this card will be for my daughter, I choose to use feminine colors. By changing the colors to a more masculine palette, you could easily use this design for a guy.

Waffle Flower February Release Butterfly Blossom

It's release day for Waffle Flowers Crafts! This new collection, named Butterfly Blossom, is available for ordering now. As the name suggests this release is full of pretty florals and butterflies. I have five cards to share today created with some of the new products. Below each card photo you'll find a list of all the Waffle Flower supplies used. Each item is linked to the product page on the Waffle Flower website.

There's a new Postage Collage stencil set with a butterfly theme that can be used with original A2 Postage Collage die. I have left the collage intact and simply adhered it overtop a bright pink card stock panel. I then added some die cut butterflies and a greeting. 




This next card is A6 size. I cut apart the butterfly postage to make my own custom collage arrangement. I mixed in some die cut florals and little hearts. This design is meant to be a Valentine's card. 




The next two cards feature how I've used the new Mod Blossom die & stencils. The die is like a cover plate because it will fill an entire A2 card front.  On the card in the photo below, I have layered a vellum panel over top the Mod Blossom background and then added the die cut flowers and greeting. 






There is a fun freebie set this month and I have used it to create a colorful greeting on this last card. The Overlapping Hello Friend die & stencil is a gift with purchase of $50 or more of the February release.

Sunny Studio Majestic Meadow Scene Card

Hi there! I'm sharing a colorful spring scene card I have created with products from Sunny Studio. This scene came together nicely with some images from the new Majestic Meadow stamp set. This stamp set creates an entire scene which you can use as is or use the coordinating Majestic Meadow dies to cut out specific parts of the scene which what I have done. 


I have used the tulips, the big tree, and the bird images from the set to create an A2 sized scene. First I ink blended a blue sky onto my card base. Next I Copic colored the images I wanted to use. I also used a bunny and butterfly images from the  Bunnyville stamp set. I used the coordinating dies to cut out my colored images. 


I added a die cut grass border to the bottom edge of the card front. Then I tucked the tulips under the grass. I added the tree to the right corner and trimmed off the extra. Next I adhered the bunny, birds, and butterflies to the scene with thin foam squares. Lastly I added the greeting in the open sky area space. I used the Chloe Alphabet dies for the "hello" letters. The words to stamp "you're the tweetest" are from the Little Birdie stamp set

Copic colors used: RV10, RV04, YR02, YR14, YG11, YG17, Y11, Y15, R00, R20, B21, B23, E41, E43, W01, W04, E51
