Sunny Studio Stamps - Balloon Alphabet Stamps and Dies

-

 Happy summer, crafty friends!

Nothing says "summer vacation" quite like sandy beaches, palm trees, and playful vibes. Lately, I've been absolutely obsessed with the Balloon Alphabet Stamps and Dies from Sunny Studio Stamps—it is the perfect set for adding a cheerful, floating celebration to your summer projects! 




​To get started on our characters, I stamped the cheeky monkeys from the Monkey Business Stamps onto Neenah Solar White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. For the scenery, I used the Tropical Trees Background Die to cut out the beautiful palm trees and sandy beach hills. I then brought all of these elements to life with my Copic markers.


COPIC COLORS :
Monkey: E30, E31, E35, E47, R30
Palm Trees: E18, E31, E35, E47, G14, G40, YG03, YG17

​For the background, I wanted a sunset that radiates summer heat. On a separate piece of white cardstock, I ink-blended a gorgeous gradient using Distress Oxide Inks in Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Squeezed Lemonade, and Salty Ocean. The way the fiery sunset tones melt into the ocean blue at the bottom instantly brought the whole tropical scene together!




​

Now for the star of the show—the Balloon Alphabet Stamps and Dies! I stamped and die-cut the letters to spell out "SUMMER" in soft pastel tones, finishing them off with a touch of glitter for that magical, iridescent shimmer. To make the design extra playful, I tied real white twine to the balloons, making it look like our happy little monkey is holding on tight and flying right up into the sunset!

​To finish the card, I layered the die-cut beach hills and palm trees to create a sense of depth. Then, I used foam tape to pop up the monkeys and the "HELLO" sentiment banner, giving the whole scene a wonderful 3D effect that feels alive and full of joy.
