Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Ashlee Bellinger

Hey, Sunny Studio friends my name is Ashlee and I'm here with a guest post using a bunch of awesome products from Sunny Studio Stamps to get you inspired. I had so much fun creating these cards, I hope you enjoy them too!

For my first card, I used these products :

- Dotted Diamond Portrait die

- Holiday Hugs stamps plus coordinating dies

- Crepe Paper Streamers die

- Perfect Gift Boxes die

- Mini Mat & Tag 2 die

To create this card I started with a grey card stock base. I then die cut the dotted diamond portrait die from a lighter grey card stock before adhering it to the base leaving a slight edging. I wanted this card to be perfect for a birthday celebration so I die-cut a bunch of the crepe paper streamers along with the extra little die pieces in blue so they could be multi-coloured streamers! 

Using the mat from the mini mat and tag die 2 I die cut that from white card stock and adhered that to the base using foam tape to start adding dimension to the card. Once that was in place I was able to add my streamers. 

I just adore the Perfect Gift Boxes die so I die-cut lots of pieces and created three presents which I wanted to pop out from behind the images. I stamped, coloured and die-cut the super sweet Holiday Hugs bear along with an extra present. These were all coloured using spectrum noir tri-blend markers with added white gel pen highlights. 

I adhered these all in place using different levels of foam tape which made it all pop! To complete the card I added a stamped sentiment that was mounted on pink card stock and a touch of pretty sequins for that little bit of bling. 

Onto my second card. For this one, I have a slimline card full of lots of Christmas fun.

I used these products for this card :

- Dashing Dachshund stamps plus coordinating dies 

- North Pole stamps plus coordinating dies

- Slimline Scalloped Frame dies

- Slimline Nature Borders dies

- Victorian Christmas stamp

To create this card I started by die-cutting the largest die from the slimline scalloped frame set from green card stock. I then went ahead and die-cut the sky using the stitched rectangle die from the same set. I wanted to create some snow for the North Pole so I die-cut the rectangle again but this time from white card stock before die-cutting it into snowy ground using a die from the nature borders. I made two layers of snow and adhered them together using foam tape so there were different depths of snow. Now it was ready to stamp and colour a bunch of cuties to create my scene.

I stamped coloured and die-cut a whole bunch of images from all these sets including North Pole, Dashing Dachsund and Victorian Christmas. These were all coloured with a mix of Copic and Spectrum noir tri-blend markers. Using a white pen I added some white highlights. Now they were all coloured and die cut it was time to arrange them into a North Pole scene. 

To complete the card I stamped a sentiment directly into the sky on the card using Memento tuxedo black ink "seasons greetings"  along with a touch of sequins. I think it looks like they are having an absolute blast with Santa and Mrs Claus, don't you?!

Thank you so much for checking out my cards today, I really hope you like them as much as I enjoyed creating them. Happy crafting and big crafty hugs!
