Sunny Studio Stamps - Right as Rain

Sunny Studio Stamps | July 4th Truckload

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Fourth of July card featuring the delightful Sunny Studio Stamps Truckloads of Love stamp set, with coordinating dies. The set features a vintage pick-up truck along with a choice of critters and seasonal items to include in the truck. I shared a Valentine’s Day card created with these supplies HERE and a fall-themed card HERE.

- To begin, cover an A2-size card base with patterned paper. I used a piece from an Echo Park pad.
- Stamp Truckloads of Love pickup, banner, flag, rail, and critter with Versafine on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper and heat set. Color the images with watercoloring mediums of choice (I used Tombow markers). Once dry, cut the images with the dies in the coordinating set. (Check out my “Resources for Watercoloring Stamped Images” HERE.)
- Cut scallop mat from white cardstock with the Mini Mat and Tag 3 set.
- Stamp sentiment on white cardstock and add Distress Oxide Inks to sky and road (using vellum to mask while applying the inks). I created the sentiment on my computer.
- Trim inked sentiment panel to fit inside the Mini Mat and Tag 3 scallop mat. Add inked panel to mat.
- Add assembled truck to the scene.

Waddle You Know? Friendship Card

Hello! I am delighted to share a friendship card created with the Sunny Studio Stamps Puddle Jumpers stamp set with coordinating die set. With watercoloring, I brought the images – a girl in a ducky raincoat, her froggy umbrella, duck, and ducklings – to life.

- Begin by covering an A2-size card base with patterned paper in the DoodleBug Design Gingham and Linen pad.
- Stamp the Puddle Jumpers images in Versafine on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper and heat set. Color the images with watercoloring mediums of choice. Once dry, cut with coordinating dies.
  Zig Pale Pink (28), Light Green (41), May Green (47), Scarlet (23), Summer Sun (503), Bright Yellow (52), Orange (70), Lemon Yellow (51); Tombow Light Apricot (850), Tan (942), Dusty Rose (772).
- Cut an oval from white cardstock (I used the retired Spellbinders Fancy Edge Ovals die set). Create a sky and base by sponging on Distress Inks. Stamp the Puddle Jumpers sentiment. Mat the oval with a scalloped oval (same die set). Add oval assembly to card base.
- Add the watercolored images with dot and foam adhesive.
