She shared her coloring process over on Periscope that she has now moved over to Katch for a limited time so you can catch the replay.  Make sure to check it out HERE.  She is always so much fun to watch!  

In case you've somehow missed her, you will definitely also want to catch her over on her YouTube channel--I could sit and watch her color with all the different mediums she explores for hours!

Sending My Love & Birthday Wishes Teddy Bear Card with Francine

Hi everyone! Francine here for my first post on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog! Yay! 

Today, I’m featuring the newest Sending My Love stamp set and here is my project:

Sunny Studio Stamps Teddy Bear Birthday Card by Francine Vuillème (using Sending My Love & Birthday Smiles stamp sets)

I decided to create a birthday card and I thought bright colors would be perfect for that. I first stamped the bear and I colored him with Copic markers. I then fussy cut and fixed him behind the label where I stamped the “Birthday Wishes” sentiment in black ink. This sentiment is from an older Sunny Studio set called Birthday Smiles.

For more interest and dimension, I decided to add eyelets and fix the label with hemp cord and foam pads to make the focal point pop against the bright patterned paper I used for the background. To finish off my card, I attached all layers together and added small hearts that you can find in the Sending My Love set.

I hope you like what you’ve seen! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Sending My Love Valentine's Day Heart Gift Tags with Mendi

Hello there!  I'm back today with a quick set of heart shaped gift tags using the middle sized heart from our Stitched Hearts dies.

To decorate each of the tags I stamped a little critter face from our Sending My Love stamp set and then personalized the tag with each of my family's names using our Sweet Script alphabet stamps.

To finish off each tag I punched a 1/8" hole in the top corner of each tag and then threaded a little sheer organza ribbon through the hole and tied it off with a twine bow.

I wanted to make the stitching stand out a bit more against the patterned paper so I used a white gel pen to trace the stitched lines on the heart.

I think these will be a great little extra to tie onto some gifts for my family for Valentine's Day this year!  I hope I've inspired you to make some cute little tags of your own.  ;)  


Make sure to stop back by tomorrow.  The amazing Francine will be sharing her debut post as part of our design team.  :)

Sending Sweet Birthday Wishes Chocolate Wrapper by Marion

Hi there! It's Marion here with a little project using the newly released Sending My Love stamp set. Talk about a cutsie patoosie stamp set! Lots of different mixing and matching can be done with this one and it also has coordinating dies as well.

Today I have created a simple chocolate wrapper; a perfect little gift to give to someone special on their birthday.

To create the wrapper, I took some red card stock and trimmed it to just under the width of the chocolate box. I wrapped it around the chocolate and drew some pencil marks on the edges, so I knew where to make the fold fines with my scoring board. I made it a fairly snug fit, but still loose enough to slip on and off easily. Before adhering the wrapper ends together, I stamped some love hearts from the Furever Friends stamp set in red ink to create a subtle tone on tone effect.

The bear was coloured with Copic markers. I added some some red Stickles to the love heart to add some sparkle and some Glossy Accents to his nose.

Sending My Love Simple Puppy Dog Hugs Card by Mendi

Hello there!  How was your first day back to a normal schedule?  For those who have kids, are you the type who like to have your kids back in school or do you love the break in routine?  I'm sort of in the middle.  I loved not having to wake up early and pack lunches, but I also love having my kids in school and not sitting home bored while I work.  ;)

Today I have a simple little card I created for a friend who had lost a pet using our new Sending My Love stamps... I wanted to keep my design clean so I colored the image with Copic markers and fussy cut it out.  To ground the image I added a shadow using the solid oval found in the Sunny Borders stamp set.

For my sentiment I cut out 4 of the "hugs" word dies that come as a bonus with the Furever Friends dies, coloring just the top one with an ombre look with my Copics before stacking and gluing them together with my zig glue pen to create the look of chipboard and add a little dimenson.  :)

I hope you have a great day and check back tomorrow to see what the team has up their sleeves using this new set.  :)

Sending My Love Critters Sending Birthday Wishes Card by Mendi

Hello there!  Happy Monday!  Thanks to everyone who made our new release such a success so far!  I can't wait to see what you all create with your purchases!  :)

This week we are showcasing some more ways to use the new Sending My Love stamps and dies and I couldn't resist taking the opportunity to use the little critter faces all by themselves!  :)

To get my faces to line up in a somewhat perfect circle, I used a smaller circle die in my nested set to help push my faces up against and help me with spacing before adhering them to my card with a glue pen.

For my sentiment I mixed the "sending" word from the set with the "Birthday Wishes" sentiment from Birthday Smiles.  My background was inked up using Peacock Distress ink and I just love the way it compliments the grey and brown critters.  :)

The stamps and dies were a bit late arriving to the team so I will be back tomorrow with one more idea using the Sending My Love set while they try to catch up.  Until then, I hope you have a fabulous day!  :)

Inspiration Week: Introducing Sunny Borders & Sweet Script

Happy Friday!  Today's the big day! Our Spring release is officially available for purchase in our online store and slowly becoming available at select retailers.

Today I am showcasing some of the fun ways to use our new Sunny Borders stamps & dies and the new Sweet Script alphabet stamps.  :)

This first card shows one fun way to use the chevron border from the Sunny Borders set.  I used my MISTI tool to have the stamp and then moved my card panel up by 1/4" between each color.  I paired it with the snail from Backyard Bugs and the little mailbox, letters and part of the sentiment from Sending My Love.

My second card was shared yesterday, but I wanted to share it here as well to showcase the heart border from Sunny Borders which I heat embossed in the background.  I alternated clear and white embossing powder for a fun twist, heating them up between each row.

My next card uses both the Sweet Script stamps for my custom sentiment and the Sunny Border stamps and dies.  I love how the dies perfectly cut out the matching scallops for the stamps!  For the images I used the chick, puddle and umbrella from our Rain or Shine set shared on Monday.  :)

For this card I used both the banner and the scalloped stamps and dies from Sunny Borders, paired with the butterfly, flower pot and sentiment from Backyard Bugs.

For my last card I used the Sweet Script stamp set to create another custom sentiment for a baby or Bridal shower using the umbrella and hearts from the Rain or Shine set.
