A card with a dragon holding a bouquet of flowers — My Flowers for You Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Flowers For You Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Dragon Bouquet and Sentiment Bundle. This stamp is so versatile and can be used for so many occasions! It includes 6 images and comes in PNG or JPG:

Dragon Bouquet
Thinking Of You Sentiment
Have A Beautiful Day
Hello Friend
Just Because
Flowers For You Sentiment

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided on the MME paper since I love the rustic wood texture and the collage on the paper! There is a sentiment on it under his feet, “start every day with a smile”. I thought this was such a sweet sentiment and would bring a smile to the recipient

From there, I picked out my Copic marker colours from the paper to colour my cute dragon and the bouquet. I also coloured some extra flowers that you get in the bundle in the colours I used for my bouquet. The sentiment from the bundle was die cut into a banner and layered with the coloured flowers and another banner below.

For embellishments, I used brass butterflies, clear epoxy dew drops and Clear Wink of Stella on the flowers.

Good Grief! It’s Your Birthday!

Charlie Brown wishing a Happy Birthday — Good Grief! It’s Your Birthday!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Good Grief! It’s Your Birthday Card using The Great Box Limited Edition Box by Kindred Stamps! It’s my brother’s birthday today. I remember us watching the antics that the Charlie Brown Gang got up to in the cartoons.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a scene, but to fit all my characters, I went with a fun pop out card.

Top Side View of Card — Top View of Card Showing Folds

My inspiration was where they all go on stage and start dancing! I always loved that part! So, I used some wood Designer Series Paper to create the floor to my stage.

Linus, Sally, Schroder and Lucy on Stage

Once I coloured with my Copic markers my characters, I built my stage. The card folds out like a book, so you see more characters as it unfolds until you have it fully open.

Marcie, Peppermint Patty, Woodstock and Snoopy on Stage

For most of my card I used The Great Box Limited Edition Box. Don’t you love the doghouse with Snoopy and Woodstock dancing around the sentiment! The Charlie Brown chevron pattern paper was perfect for the backdrop of my card! Almost like curtains to the stage.

A Cup of Thanks Card

A Card with Tea Cups on it — A Cup of Thanks Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing A Cup of Thanks Card using the Cup of Tea Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I loved the idea of stacking the teacups in different colours!

Details of My Card

For my card, I wanted to highlight the new 2022-24 In Colors and what better way than with the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper that incorporates all the new colors in its pretty designs! I also used the In Color 2022–2024 Designer Series Paper for two of my teacups. Tip: Since the DSP is double-sided, I turned the middle teacup to face the opposite way. For the bottom teacup, I love the combination of Parakeet Party and Starry Sky together. So, I used the stackable die cuts to create my teacup. To highlight my teacups, I used a stitched scallop rectangle in Basic White.

I’m so happy that Stampin’ Up! has released new stitched circle/square dies and I couldn’t rest using one of the circles for my Starry Sky sentiment! Don’t you just love the Fun Flowers Resin Shapes and they come in Parakeet Party as one of the colours!

I thought placing the Tea Boutique 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper on an angle behind the focal point was a fun idea. The Stitched Greenery Die with its tone-on-tone created a subtle background that doesn’t distract from the focal point, but still adds interest.

I added a stamped die cut lemon wedge and a Sweet Sorbet Glimmer heart to continue my caring thank you theme.

My Welcome Spring! Card

Card with girl holding a daffodil — My Welcome Spring! Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I was so excited to present My Welcome Spring! Card at the Paper Nest Dolls Spring Coloring Retreat (Online) recently using Lulu with Daffodil!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought a fun fold card would be something different than a regular card. So, I created a side easel card base! I love how it folds up to display part of the card front!

We had a lot of fun colouring Lulu with our Copic markers at the Retreat. The attendees learned how to add texture to the daffodil to make it pop!

The beautiful papers from the Paper Boutique were perfect for the theme since they had daffodil and tulips on them!

I couldn’t resist using the Daffodil Dies from Stampin’ Up! in the background to set off Lulu!

If you haven’t been to a Paper Nest Dolls Retreat, you are missing out! You learn so much from other designers (even I learn things!) and there is always fun and games going on, not to mention the swag bags!

Yabba Dabba Doo Time Card

Flintstone's Family Card — Yabba Dabba Doo Time Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Yabba Dabba Doo Time Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the new digital Stone Age Family Set. This bundle comes with eight stamps in either digital or rubber stamps.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I wanted to fit the whole family onto one card. So, I decided to create a Tri-Fold card where a continual scene unfolds on the front of the card, but when folded down, it becomes an A2 card.

I created a sidewalk for my characters to stand on by using a stencil, ink, and a blending brush. Once that was done, I used one of the Large Slimline Dies to create my straight lines and then cut the pieces down accordingly. Some hills and grass in different greens gave interest behind the characters. A couple of palm trees added to my scene.

My Card Laid Flat Showing Continual Scene

Measurements

Card Base: 5 ½” x 8 ½”, score at 4 ¼”

Tri-Fold: 6” x 12” piece of card stock and score at 4” and 8”. Then mark 1” on short side at top and 1” on bottom corner opposite side and line up cutting on diagonal.

A Groovy Road Trip Card

May 5, 2022 Leave a comment

Card with a Girl from Seventies and a retro bus on it — A Groovy Road Trip Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing A Groovy Road Trip Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Flower Power Ellie. There are ten dolls in the Decade Collection that come in both rubber and digital stamps. You can find all the digital versions here.

Decade Doll Collection by Paper Nest Dolls

The Details of My Card

For my card, I coloured Ellie with my Copic markers to match my Seventies paper and her retro bus! This paper was perfect for my card with the musical revolution icons since Ellie has her dancing boots on and is off to Woodstock!

Of course, if Ellie is having a road trip, she needs a retro bus. This Retro Bus Kit comes with dies to build a mini booklet in the shape of a retro bus, but I decided to use it for my card. So, I just trimmed the three ring holes off the back piece. I had a ton of fun decorating my bus with the matching paper, flowers, peace symbol, windshield wipers, Road Trip die and so on. I even used a piece of a window sheet for the windows. For the metal parts, I brushed on some iron wax to give them a metal look.

The finishing touches were some wooden musical notes to match my theme and a couple of rhinestone coloured to match my card.

My Happy Mother’s Day Card

A Mother's Day Card with tulips in rain boots — My Happy Mother’s Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Happy Mother’s Day Card using the Flowering Rain Boots Bundle by Stampin’ Up!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and the Flowering Rain Boots Bundle would be a perfect match! And I couldn’t resist using the tulip border die that comes in the Flowering Tulips Bundle!

I pulled my colour scheme of Highland Heather, Fresh Freesia and Evening Evergreen from the DSP. I love that the coordinating dies cut out the stamped pieces! By adding a piece of vellum under the boots, a focal point was created, but still allowed the die cut tulip border to show through. The sentiment was heat embossed with white on Highland Heather and then die cut with one of the All Dressed Up Dies. A scattering of the sweet Brass Butterflies finished the card off nicely.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Flowering Rain Boots Bundle (157691), Flowering Tulips Bundle (157678), All Dressed Up Dies (151665), Stitched Rectangles Dies (151820)
