Hello Sweet Friend Card

August 28, 2025 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Hello Sweet Friend Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Hello Little Friend Bundle. This Bundle includes 5 images:

Title 1: Hello Little Friend JPG format only
Titles 2, 3: Mushrooms JPG/PNG format
Titles 4, 5: Sentiment: Hello Sweet Friend PNG/JPG format

The Details of My Hello Sweet Friend Card

I love this sweet image by Conie Fong and had fun colouring it with my Copic markers. Then, I added Wink of Stella to the butterfly wings to make them shimmer.

Since the scene was so large, I decided to use it for most of my card front with only a few die cuts as accents. So, I had the Mini Fanciful Flourish overlapping my main focal point as if nature is cradling the scene. A vellum die cut butterfly was the other accent that I added to mirror the butterfly in the scene.

For my papers, I went with some DSP from my stash that had a mushroom theme. Perfect for my scene.

The finishing touch was to add some Red Rhinestones for sparkle.

My Thankful Hydrangea Card

August 20, 2025 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my My Thankful Hydrangea Card using the Lovely Garden Suite Collection which includes the Thankful Garden Bundle, Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper, Starburst Sequins, and Fresh Freesia Faux Velvet Ribbon by Stampin’ Up! I made this pretty split panel card for a swap.

The Details of My My Thankful Hydrangea Card

The Thankful Garden Bundle comes with masks for the flowers, and I have been wanting to give them a try! So, I used my Blending Brushes and Blueberry Bushel Ink to brush ink onto the different masks of the petals. I used a light touch with the first mask and gradually added more ink and pressure as I went creating lots of dimension. I also, did this with Garden Green for the leaves.

Once I had my flower coloured, I made a couple of extras of the petals and die cut/fussy cut some out which I then added to the top of the flower with dimensionals. Where there was white showing on these extra die cut petals, I brushed ink to help blend them in.

Now, it was time to design my card. Since I decided on a split panel card, I used the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder on the front 2 panels to give it interest without taking away from the flower. Next, I added my DSP strip to the inside of my card allowing it to peek out through the gap.

I used the second largest Nested Essentials Die and die cut the DSP for a backdrop to my flower. This also was my anchor between the two front panels. The flower on top also gave this panel extra stability.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed it in white on a scrap of Blueberry Bushel and just trimmed it down with my paper snips to fit.

As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Starburst Sequins.

My Corny Hello Card

August 12, 2025 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Corny Hello Card using the Poppin’ By Bundle which includes the Poppin’ By Stamp Set and Poppin’ By Dies by Stampin’ Up! I had so much fun making a card with this Bundle a while back, that I decided to make this second card. If you are interested in seeing my other card, I will post it at the end as well.

The Details of My Corny Hello Card

For my card, I thought that the Full of Life Designer Series Paper with its bright colour burst wheel would be perfect for my card! It would lead the eye to the popcorn that is popping out of the focal point. So fun! I added a Basic Black mat to my DSP to tie in the sentiment and help contain the explosion of colour. Lol! This DSP is listed in the Last Chance Products and it’s on sale! So, get it while you can!

Next, I decided to use a Granny Apple Green banner from the Birthday Celebration Dies to anchor my focal point. From this, I had my popcorn and stars from the Loose Shaker Elements bursting out!

After I die cut the popcorn, I used a Blending Brush to add ink to the edges to give them dimension. Then, I used my Wink of Stella Brush to splatter some Crushed Curry Ink on them as well. Love the shimmer it added!

For the sentiment, I heat embossed it in white on a scrap of Basic Black. The POP letters were die cut using the Alphabet à la Mode Dies in Crushed Curry and placed on my banner jumbled to look like it was being jostled by the popcorn.

As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Holographic Resin Dots.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Poppin’ By Bundle (165489), Birthday Celebration Dies (164598), Alphabet à la Mode Dies (160750)

Inks: VersaMark Ink (102283), Crushed Curry Classic Stampin’ Pad (147087)

The Details of My Panda Lotus Card

For my card, I went looking to see what I had in my stash that would fit a lotus flower and low and behold, I found an old Paper Pumpkin Kit that I didn’t finish! Lol

But first, I coloured my image with my Copic markers and decided to add a bright lotus flower to make the image pop from the background.

Next, I heat embossed in white the sentiment and added a Bubble Bath mat to make it stand out.

The Kit came with some clear resin dots that I added to my lily pad and around my focal point.

The finishing touch was to add some Dragonfly Trinkets. Perfect for a lily pond!
