Hi everyone! Happy weekend! I'm guest designing with the Summer stamp collection at Sunny Studio Stamps! Yippeeee! I'm always happy and excited to be the guest designer on the Sunny Studio Blog! I'm so delighted to work with the beautiful and fun stamps and dies! Happy Summer indeed! When I saw this new release I immediately loved everything – but in particular the Tiki set! My husband and I love to visit our local Tiki Bar here in Sacramento! I knew I had to make a card with a Tiki theme! And a giant cupcake?? And Hamsters?? It's all fantastic. I love this latest release. I had so much fun creating three cards to share with you today. Lots of color and lots of fun!
First up is a tropical oasis Tiki Bar out in the jungle! LOLZ. This is a big square card that measures 5.25" x 5.25" made from white cardstock. I layered pretty Sunny Studio patterned paper and then ink blended the top layer with Distress Inks. I think I used 5-6 stamp sets to make this one. I love that about Sunny Studio – all the stamp sets work together so nicely. This card is a moooood! (All the supplies are listed at the bottom of my post!)
I featured the Tiki Time Stamp Set and then added elements like the flamingo and that little crab and some palm trees from other sets. I used the Tropical Scenes Stamp Set for the top piece. I stamped and die cut out all the pieces first and designed my card layout. Then I colored everything with Copic Markers and added bits of white gel pen accents and a little bit of glitter!
I die cut a kraft hillside/ground and ink blended it to look like sand. All the elements are attached to the card with foam tape. What a fun card to make! I wish I was inside this card right now having a cocktail with those cute critters! (Our local Tiki Bar is called The Jungle Bird, so that is what inspired me!)
After the weather we've been having here lately, I sure could use a cocktail like this!
Next up is a big giant cupcake birthday card. This card base is A2 size made from white cardstock. I layered Sunny Studio patterned paper in pink polka dots and used the Diagonal Stripes/Scallop Border die set to make the pretty top layer. It's all sweet and swirly!
I used the Cupcake Die and made the bottom from Kraft cardstock. The cupcake part and the frosting were die cut from white cardstock. I colored the frosting and the wrapper with Copic Markers in pink and brown. I die cut the cherry from gingham paper and used the candle flame as a leaf for the cherry.
The sentiment is from the Two Scoops Stamp Set and I layered it with some scalloped circles. Finally I added little hearts and sprinkles with Doodlebug accents.
I also splashed on some white paint because I really like that look. It's hard to see in the photo, but I also splashed on some silver paint and white shimmer paint. This would be a great birthday card for someone of any age!
Lastly today is a fun, clean and simple designed card made with those Happy Hamsters! What an adorable stamp set! This finished card is slightly smaller than A2 because those images are small. I like the scale of a slightly smaller card base for that reason.
I stamped and die cut out the hamsters and their wheel. Then I colored everything with Copics. I layered those pretty stripes in teal and then matched my Copic coloring to the paper color. Everything is attached to the card with foam tape. I wrapped a bit of brown twine across the top to just add a little texture. I wheelie love them! Don't you?! Did you have a pet hamster as a kid? I did – and this brought me back to those happy memories.
I wheeeeelie wheelie like you!!!
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have an amazing weekend! I am super busy in the craft room right now – lots going on, and the Christmas stamps are starting to arrive! See you soon! XOXO

I think this latest release was loaded with fun stuff… love your tiki bar and delicious looking cupcake. I smile every time I see these hamsters with their adorable chubby cheeks… it is hard to think of Christmas when the heat is on, but there is a load of new Christmas stuff coming on strong! Christmas in July is a real thing after all… happy week and keep up the great work!
Wanda! These are just lovely!!! I thought of another adjective regarding all the beautiful color you use too- your cards are “crisp”! Of course being such an accomplished photographer helps in capturing your creative pieces!! This company always has such great sets!
