The Details of My Mermazing Day Card

For my card, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and colour with my Copic markers Rosealea in oranges. I don’t usually use orange in my colouring. But since there was a lot going on in the background, I thought it would make her pop from my shaker card and match the orange fish in the background DSP.

The Waves Die by Spellbinders was a new purchase, and it went perfectly with my mermaid theme! Since the die took up the whole card front with lots of peek through holes, I decided to create a shaker card.

To create my focal point, I added behind Rosealea gold foil coral and some vellum seaweed. Rosealea and the seaweed helped lead your eye up to the sentiment.

Next, I adhered a scattering of gold shell sequins from the Sea Sequins to the front of my card, along with some blue sequins from the Stardust Sequins to tie in my colour scheme.

Finally, to add some sparkle, I used Clear Wink of Stella on her tail and Glossy Accents on the pearls in her hair.

Ride Your Dreams Card

May 26, 2025 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Ride Your Dreams Card using the Ride Your Dreams Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps. Today is my big brother’s birthday and I knew he would get a kick out of a Deadpool card! For one of my brother’s birthdays, his grandchildren rented a unicorn blow up for the pool and so many hilarious stories came out of it! Lol! So, this stamp was perfect for his card. I also made another card for a friend using the other characters in this stamp set which I will link at the end of my post.

The Details of My Ride Your Dreams Card

For my card, I had a lot of fun colouring this character with my Copic markers! I even added some sparkle to the unicorn’s main and tail with my White Gelly Roll Pen and Clear Wink of Stella. Once that was done, I cut him out with my Brother Scan n’ Cut.

Next, I decided to create a city scene using the Cityscape Die from Kindred Stamps. The city buildings from the Save the Day Paper Pad by Stamp Anniething were perfect for my background behind the die cut cityscape. I die cut this paper with the Card Basics Dies and matted it on Real Red cardstock. The stars were also cut from the Save the Day and die cut with the Card Basics Dies. I love how they are bursting out from my scene!

The card front sentiment was stamped in black and die cut with the ticket die from the Card Basics Dies. For the inside, I decided to stamp another sentiment from the set and added the cute Pup Sidekick underneath it.

For embellishments, I added some black matt dots to the front to tie in my colour scheme.

My Poppin’ Hello Card

May 21, 2025 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Poppin’ Hello Card using the Poppin’ By Bundle which includes the Poppin’ By Stamp Set and Poppin’ By Dies by Stampin’ Up! I needed to make a shoebox swap and thought that this cutie would be perfect…just look at those shoes and glasses! So cute!

The Details of My Poppin’ Hello Card

For my card, I knew that I wanted to have the popcorn guy as my main focal point! So, I pulled out my Crushed Curry and Real Red Stampin’ Write Markers and coloured the rubber stamp with them. Then, I “huffed” with my breath on the stamp to moisten it and reactivated the ink before I stamped him. Such a fun technique that I haven’t done in a while!

Once he was stamped and die cut out, I glued on his shoes and his 3D glasses. I could have left off the lens of the glasses, but I thought a 3D look would be fun!

To create my focal point, I added a die cut Balmy Blue flag from the Birthday Celebration Dies. I stamped “POP” randomly on it in Balmy Blue for a subtle tone-on-tone look.

For the sentiment, I used two Basic Black die cut film strips that I layered behind the Real Red stamped sentiment.

All of this was layered onto the Turtle-y Cute DSP, matted with Crushed Curry and adhered to my Real Red card base.

As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Holographic Resin Dots. Perfect for that 3D look!

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Poppin’ By Bundle (165489), Birthday Celebration Dies (164598)

My Welcome Home Card

May 14, 2025 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Welcome Home Card using the Storybook Friends Bundle includes the Storybook Friends Stamp Set and the Storybook Friends Dies by Stampin’ Up! A friend just moved into their new home, and I wanted to send a Welcome to your new home card. So, I thought the Storybook Friends Bundle with a cute bunny family would be sweet!

The Details of My Welcome Home Card

For my card, I thought my favourite fun fold, a centre-step, would work well with the family on the bottom panel and the framed house above them. But first, I coloured the bunnies with my Stampin’ Blends to match my DSP colours. Then, I die cut them out with the matching dies in the Bundle.

I was strategic in selecting the house from the DSP for my wood frame. I placed my die on the DSP and moved it around to see which house would work without the other houses interfering with it. When I found my house, I use a pencil to mark the inside edge of the frame die. This allowed me to use my Paper Snips to quickly cut a rough piece of DSP without needing the whole frame die cut out and wasting paper. Once that was done, I used the die and lined up my pencil mark to die cut out just the house.

Next, to create my “home”, I used the DSP that looked like wallpaper for the centre panel behind the framed house. A strip of the Timeless Plaid DSP was perfect for the “rug” on which the bunnies were standing.

To decorate my side panels, I used the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and brushed Crumb Cake ink along the edges to bring out the embossing. I also brushed Crumb Cake on the house frame to bring out the grain in the Wood Textured Specialty Paper.

The sentiments were stamped in Lost Lagoon and die cut out with one of the flags from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Antique Pearls to my card on the different panels.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Storybook Friends Bundle (164675), Stylish Shapes Dies (159183)

Inks: Lost Lagoon Classic Stampin’ Pad (161678), Crumb Cake Classic Stampin’ Pad (147116)

Mother’s Day Bouquet Card

May 9, 2025 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums out there! I am sharing my Mother’s Day Bouquet Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Garden Bouquet from the Garden and Bootiful Bouquet. This purchase includes 2 Images:

Title 1: Garden Bouquet
Title 2: Bootiful Bouquet

The Details of My Mother’s Day Bouquet Card

Since Mother’s Day is this weekend, I thought I would colour with my Copic Markers a bouquet of flowers and decided to use the Garden Bouquet. I love all those spring flowers that Conie used in her bouquet! Perfect for a Mother’s Day card!

For the designer paper, I used the Spring Whispers Decorative Papers since it has watering cans with flowers on it. Perfect for my image! The butterfly and bee papers in the background was also from those papers. The Spring Whispers Coloured Card Collection made it easy to match my papers!

To add some interest to my card, I added a tulip border on one side. I used my Copic Markers to colour the die cut to match the colours of the tulips in the image. I also used the Coloured Card Collection to die cut a matching-coloured butterfly and watering can.

The sentiment was from a retired stamp set that was stamped in Orchid Oasis Ink and matted with the a pink from the Coloured Card Collection.

To add some sparkle, I used my Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on the hydrangea flower centres and Wink of Stella on the bow. The finishing touch was a scattering rhinestones to add even more sparkle.

It’s Your Birthday Card

May 7, 2025 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my It’s Your Birthday Card using the Ride Your Dreams Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps. A good friend’s birthday was recent, and he loves a certain movie and comic book. So, I couldn’t resist creating this card for him using this stamp set!

The Details of It’s Your Birthday Card

For my card, I had a lot of fun colouring the characters with my Copic markers and then cutting them out with my Brother Scan n’ Cut.

Next, I thought it would be fun to create comic book style card using the Comic Mat Die from Stamp Anniething. Of course, the paper sheets from the Save the Day by Stamp Anniething were perfect for my background behind the characters.

The sentiment was stamped in black with red blood splatter since there is a lot of blood in the movie. Lol! Please excuse the language of the sentiment, but it is appropriate considering the movie.

Inside of Card with comic book heroes — Inside of Card

Since I had one square leftover on the front cover, I decided to print of a Cake Topper of the characters that I bought on Etsy in two different sizes. One for the front and the other for the inside. For the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the stamp set beneath the characters on the inside.
