Hello! Today I am sharing a whimsical “Hello” card featuring Sunny Studio Stamps products. I recently added the Wonderful Windows die set to my collection and wanted to use it on a card. By the way, their Holiday collection will be available to purchase on August 25. Sneak peeks are being shown on their blog this week.
In this previous post, I discussed scene building with Sunny Studio Stamps and used the Birthday Mouse as a focal point. And here, I showed the same cat images in a sailboat. For today’s card, I combined the mouse and the cats.
To begin, I dry-embossed SU Smoky Slate cardstock with a retired Tim Holtz folder to create the card background. I own several brick embossing folders; this particular one provided the most texture.
To create the mouse and cats, I stamped the Birthday Mouse and Birthday Cat images with Versafine on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper and heat set. With watercolor markers, I colored the images. (Check out my “Resources for Watercoloring Stamped Images” HERE.) Once dry, I cut the images with their coordinating die sets.
Next, to create the window and shutters, I cut white cardstock with the Wonderful Windows set. Next, I added curtains cut from SU Poppy Red cardstock. Finally, I backed the window assembly with Sea Glass cardstock.
Finally, to create the sentiment, I cut white Pop-Up Die Cutting Glitter Foam with the Journal Letter Die Set (glitter side down). I adhered the die-cut letters to a strip of Taylored Expressions Poppy Seed cardstock.
