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!

Lovable Llama Card with Tina

Hello crafty friends, Tina here and today we are making a fun shaker birthday card! The super adorable llama is from the Lovable Llama stamp set and comes with matching dies. This set also includes a pile of presents which would work great with the Perfect Gift Boxes, so that is the design I am going for!

First, I cut a panel from white Neenah paper with the outer of the Frilly Frames Stripes dies. I then dry embossed this piece with the Quilted Hearts folder. I love the subtle detail it gives to a simple white background!

The shaker opening was created with the largest Stitched Arch die. I adhered a piece of acetate to the back of this panel with strong double-sided tape. Then I build a ‘wall’ for my shaker around the arch with double sided foam tape.

I folded a white card base and glued a piece of pattern paper with cute hearts (Subtle Grey Tones paper pad) to the front of the base. This will be the backing for the shaker element of this card. The three boxes were cut from pink, purple and orange tones (Gingham Pastel paper pad) with white trim and lids.

The focal element of the card is this adorable llama with the party hat and gifts (Lovable Llama stamp set). All these images were colored with Copic markers. I also added a small bow tie from Spring Showers. The sentiment was selected from the Happy Thoughts set and stamped onto a small white strip with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

After filling the shaker with pink, purple and clear sequins from my stash, I added all my images and sentiment to the arch window frame. A few Chrystal Clear Jewels were adhered to the gift boxes and the little bow tie. 

I had a lot of fun creating this shaker with the cutest llama ever! Can’t wait to see your creations! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!

Guest Designer Spotlight: Cards with Kristie Marcotte

Hey everyone, Kristie Marcotte here. I'm so excited to be sharing several cards with you today that focus on the Surprise Party paper pack. Let's get right to it!

I made a fun patriotic birthday card featuring red and blue tone on tone patterned papers. I added a couple balloons above the sentiment and included the Ric Rac Border across the card. I used the Bright Balloons, Ric Rac Border,and Big Bold Greetings.

This card features the Subtle Grey Tones paper for the background. I used some of the tone-on-tone patterns from the Surprise Party paper pad for all the presents and filled the background with lots of gifts. I used Perfect Gift Boxes, Crepe Paper Streamers and Big Bold Greetings.

The background features the colorful party hat paper. I added a couple tone on tone strips. I included 3 balloons on an oval die cut. I used Bright Balloons and Big Bold Greetings.

I used some white shimmer cardstock for the background and added several narrow strips of patterned paper in pink and teal. I added a couple of present images on a vellum circle, plus a few balloons above the sentiment. I used Bright Balloons, Perfect Gift Boxes, and Big Bold Greetings.

 It's still July, so I couldn't resist making a fun Christmas card. I used the green star tone on tone paper for the background and cut out some wonky windows. I added a tiny poinsettia inside each window. I used Wonky Windows, Window Quad Circle, and Inside Greetings Holiday.

Thank you Mendi for the opportunity to guest design! You can find me on my blog, my Instagram, or my YouTube channel.
