My Reindeer Games Card

My Reindeer Games Card - a Christmas card with 3 reindeers playing in the North Pole
My Reindeer Games Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Reindeer Games Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the new release Santa And Reindeers Bundle. This Bundle includes 16 images (8 JPG & 8 PNG format images):

  • Title 1: Reindeer Flight
  • Title 2: Reindeer Bow
  • Title 3: Reindeer Scarf
  • Title 4: Santa Baby Reindeer
  • Title 5: Rudolph Flight
  • Title 6: Have A Merry Christmas Sentiment
  • Title 7: Reindeer Bell
  • Title 8: Santa Reindeer Friends

The Details of My Reindeer Games Card

For my card, I decided to use three of the reindeer friends including Reindeer Flight, Reindeer Bow and Rudolph Flight to make a mini slimline North Pole scene card.

I coloured the stamps with my Copic markers and added black noses using my Black Gelly Roll Pen leaving a small white showing for a highlight. I added Glossy Accents to the bells and Star Dust Stickles to the bow.

Next, I coloured my MountainScape die cut with my Copic markers to create my scene. Most people don’t think about colouring their die cuts, but it really adds to them especially when you have different elements like a scene.

I love the Lights or Aurora Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! It looks awesome and created an easy night sky!

All the was left was to add a snow hill on which the reindeers could frolic!

Embrace the Magic Card

Embrace the Magic Card - a card with the Aurora borealis
Embrace the Magic Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Embrace the Magic Card using the Light & Wonder Bundle from the Lights of Aurora Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I love this Suite and couldn’t resist using it for a shoebox swap.

The Details of My Embrace the Magic Card

For my card, I knew that I wanted to use the beautiful Lights of Aurora DSP with that tree die! I saw an accordion card that inspired me to trim my DSP into strips instead of keeping it in one piece. Then, I matted it onto Basic Black card stock leaving a gap between the strips and a 1/8” border all around. Tip: adhere the end strips before adhering the centre one.

Once my DSP was down, I started to layer my scene with the Basic White snow caps and the Basic Gray mountains adhered directly to my DSP. I popped up the trees with the mini Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Next, I embossed the sentiments in white. The Blackberry Bliss sentiment was fussy cut down to fit the letters, while the Basic Black sentiment was die cut using the largest flag from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I popped up all the sentiments with the Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

All this was adhered to a Basic White mat and then to a Blackberry Bliss card base that was dry embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder.

As a finishing touch, I placed a scattering of the Frosted Iridescent Dots on my card.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Light & Wonder Bundle (165763), Stylish Shapes Dies (159183)

Inks: VersaMark Ink (102283)

Paper: Blackberry Bliss (133675), Basic Black (121045), Basic White (166780), Basic Gray (121044), Lights of Aurora 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (165755)

My Mystery Birthday Card

My Mystery Birthday Card - a card with a manson and butler on it
My Mystery Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share My Mystery Birthday Card using the Murder Mystery Set by Kindred Stamps! Last week was my Hubby’s birthday! So, I decided to create for him an explosion light up card with characters from one of our favourite movies! Clue! I just knew he would get a kick out of my card!

The Details of My Mystery Birthday Card

For my card, I wanted to include all the characters on his card. So, I decided to put Wadsworth with a wrench hidden behind him on the front. The wrench was an extra one that I picked up at a game store selling one off pieces for board games. So fun! The other characters would go inside my card.

Clue Board on Inside of Card

First, I coloured all the characters with my Copic markers using the movie for reference. I added glossy accents to the knife, wrench, candlestick and revolver. I also used my Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on the earrings of Mrs. Peacock and Miss Scarlett, and the belt buckle for Mrs. White.

Front of Card

Time to put everything together! The 13th Hour Paper Pad by Kaiser Craft was perfect to create my spooky scene on the front with its embossed tree branches! I added behind my Mansion a glow in the dark moon with Crushed Curry ink brushed along the edges.

Next, I added So Saffron Vellum behind the windows of my Masion thus allowing the light to shine through when the EZ Light was activated. I die cut a hill and embossed it with the “push here” instructions. The hill allowed me to hide my light mechanism behind it. To decorate my card front, I added a couple of black glimmer bats and the wrench. The finishing touch was to add my coloured Wadsworth.

v

Inside of Card

Since I wanted to include a Clue boardgame on the inside, I searched online for a free printable one and found it on Pinterest. Have to love the internet for things like that! I pulled it into Microsoft Word, scaled it to 8” x 8” and printed it out on copy paper.

Inside of Card

Once that was done, I folded the “boardgame” to create my explosion mechanism by following the instruction by Karen Titus. This was adhered directly to the card base.

Side of Card
Side of Card

Since the card was so bulky already, I adhered my characters directly to the “boardgame” by strategically placing them away from the folds. For a fun accent, I added a magnifying glass trinket to the centre of my board.

I used two sentiments from the stamp sets to complete my card on the inside.

My Jolly Delivery Card

My Jolly Delivery Card - A Christmas card with an owl delivering a letter a mailbox and a bear carrying presents.
My Jolly Delivery Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Jolly Delivery Card using the Jolly Delivery Bundle in the North Pole Delivery Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I made two cards using this Suite Collection. This was a quick and easy card using the precut printed images in the DSP! I will post the other card at the end.

The Details of My Jolly Delivery Card

For my card, I thought I would create a fast card using the precut images in the North Pole Delivery Designer Series Paper. Quick and easy is the name of the game here! Lol!

The only stamping was the sentiment which I die cut using the Perennial Postage Dies. I decided to fussy cut one of the mailboxes from the DSP and used the bear and owl precuts.

Next, I tore the Basic White piece in half to create two snow layers that I used to tuck in my mailbox and ground my bear. I used the dotted DSP for my sky since I thought it looked like falling snow. All this was layered onto Basic White card stock that was die cut using the second largest Perennial Postage Die and then onto a Poppy Parade card base.

Finally, I added matching Dear Dots to finish off my card.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Jolly Delivery Bundle (165845), Perennial Postage Dies (162607)

Inks: Poppy Parade Classic Stampin’ Pad (147050), Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pad (147107)

Paper: Poppy Parade (119793), Basic White (166780), North Pole Delivery Designer Series Paper (165837)

Accessories: Dear Dots (165848), Stampin’ Paper Trimmer (152392), Bone Folder (102300), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (144108), Stampin’ Seal (152813), Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755)

My Wicked Halloween Card

My Wicked Halloween Card - A Halloween Card with a witch on it
My Wicked Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Wicked Halloween Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Sunflower Witch from the Sunflower Witch/Sunflower Isabella. This Bundle includes 4 images:

  • Title 1: Sunflower Isabella Left
  • Title 2: Sunflower Isabella Right
  • Title 3: Sunflower Witch Left
  • Title 4: Sunflower Witch Right

The Details of My Wicked Halloween Card

Since Halloween is this week, I decided to use Sunflower Witch for my card. I love Sunflower Isabella as well! I may have to make a card with her as some point! Lol!

First, I coloured my Sunflower Witch with my Copic Markers. I thought red hair would work well with my paper choice. The sunflower papers by Crafters Companion were perfect for the theme of my card! Two strips of black glimmer paper really added some spooktacular sparkle to my card.

Since my witch was so large, I decided to create her as my focal point and layered different things behind her. I started with a spider web doily, added a broom with a “Wicked” Quote Chip and a paper sunflower.

Glossy Accents were added to the berries and Star Dust Stickles to the daisies’ flower centres. The finishing touch was to add some Black Rhinestones for sparkle.

My Special Delivery Card

My Special Delivery Card -a Christmas card with a dog mailing a letter
My Special Delivery Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Special Delivery Card using the Jolly Delivery Bundle in the North Pole Delivery Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I made two cards using this Suite Collection. This one was for a swap and the other one, which I will share at the end of this post, was a quick and easy card using the precut printed images in the DSP!

The Details of My Special Delivery Card

For my card, I thought that the Perennial Postage Dies would be perfect for my mail theme. I knew that I wanted to use the sweet puppy stamp for my card. So, I stamped him and the envelope in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on Basic White, and I pulled out my Stampin’ Blends to colour them up.

Next, I stamped the sentiment in black on the Basic White sentiment piece. Then, I stamped the circle stamp in Pool Party on the sentiment piece and on the Pool Party card stock.

Once that was done, I decided on the different pieces of DSP that I wanted to use. I went with the mailboxes for one and the subtle polka dot pattern to place behind my puppy. I figured that the pattern would not detract from my colouring. Then, I added a Poppy Parade mat to each of my pieces.

Finally, I layered my postage pieces and added some matching Dear Dots to finish off my card.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Jolly Delivery Bundle (165845), Perennial Postage Dies (162607)

Inks: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad (132708), Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pad (147107)

Paper: Poppy Parade (119793), Basic White (166780), Pool Party (122924), North Pole Delivery Designer Series Paper (165837)

‘Tis the Season Card 

‘Tis the Season Card - a Christmas card with a turkey in a gift box
‘Tis the Season Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my ‘Tis the Season Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Turkey in Gift Box from the Turkey Bundle. This Bundle includes 14 images:

  • Title 1 & 2: Turkey with Pie JPG/PNG
  • Title 3 & 4: Turkey with Gift JPG/PNG
  • Title 5 & 6: Turkey Walking JPG/PNG
  • Title 9 & 10: Turkey Christmas Tree JPG/PNG
  • Title 11 & 12: Turkey Candy Cane JPG/PNG
  • Title 13 & 14: Turkey in Gift Box JPG/PNG

The Details of My ‘Tis the Season Card

For my card, I decided to use Turkey in Gift Box  and make it into a Christmas card, but he can be used for different occasions like a birthday, Thanksgiving, etc. I coloured Turkey with Pie recently and made a Thanksgiving card. I will post a link to it at the end of this post. Love that these turkeys can cover so many different celebrations!

First, I coloured my Turkey in Gift Box with my Copic Markers and made his gift box with Christmas colours.

Once that was done, I decided to create a slimline card using the stackable Dotted Slimline Creative Dies by Studio Katia. Loved the stitching around the edge and on the inside window of the Real Red Textured card front.

I just bought the Holly Jolly 8” x 8” Scrapbooking Paper Pad by Mintay Papers. It has super cute images and I thought the elf hanging from the Christmas tree was so cute peeking through the opening. To match the Christmas tree in the paper, I used a Pine Branch Die by Impression Obsession and hung it at angle like a branch was poking out from the opening. This branch created a perfect backdrop for my sentiment. A white poinsettia with a Mossy Meadow holly leaf was added at the top to finish off the corner and highlight the sentiment.

I decided that the I needed to dress up the Real Red mat and went with Sparkle Glimmer Paper snowflakes that I punched out with my Martha Stewart Punch. All this was added to a Mossy Meadow card base.

The finishing touches were to add some Red Rhinestones for sparkle, Glossy Accents to his eyes and beak and Star Dust Stickles to his hat’s trim.

Thankful Shutter Card

Thankful Shutter Card - A Thanksgiving Fun Fold Card with Fall Scene and leaves
Thankful Shutter Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my alternative Thankful Shutter Card using the September 2025 Fall for Toile Paper Pumpkin Kit. This weekend was our Canadian Thanksgiving. So, I thought a tri-fold shutter card would be a fun card to make for it. 

The Details of My Thankful Shutter Card

For my fun-fold card, the only additional things that I added were a Very Vanilla card base, Cajun Craze mats and some Timid Tiger leaves using the add on Circle of Seasons Dies. Everything else was from the kit.

Once I followed the template posted below for the measurements of my card, it was time to decorate it.

Top View of My Card

I knew that I wanted to use the frame and the Thankful sentiment on the front of my card. The ribbon added a nice element to decorate the panel beneath it. I also knew that I wanted to use the gorgeous toile card for my two largest panels on the front and the sentiment on the inside.

For the inside, I stamped the leaves and pumpkins on the white card base pieces in Cajun Craze. To decorate the stamped leaves, I added a die cut Timid Tiger leaf using the Circle of Seasons Dies in each square.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Fall for Toile Alternative Cards using the Fall for Toile September 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made a total of 6 alternative cards, but I’m only sharing 5 here. The other one will be posted soon.

But, first, here are the three cards that the kit makes. Celebrate the harvest season with elegant cards inspired by autumn’s beauty. The Fall for Toile Paper Pumpkin Refill includes printed card bases and coordinating envelopes, precut paper and foil pieces, grosgrain ribbon, and everything else you need to continue crafting upscale cards with rich seasonal details.

The Details of My Fall for Toile Alternative Cards

My Centre-Step Card

For my first alternative card, I used my favourite fun fold and create a centre-step card! I thought this fold would be a fun way to have the leaves extend past the centre panel. I created my focal point using the directions from the kit but just placed it on the centre panel. For the centre panel, I embossed a piece of Cajun Craze with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder to add visual interest without detracting from the focal point.

Next, I stamped the white printed card base pieces with the leaves just like in the original directions. A piece of the grid printed card base was added at the bottom.

So, I cut apart a toile card base to use it for the two layers. For the front, I made it similar to the design used in the kit and matted it with Cajun Craze card stock.

Since the other z-fold was inside, I kept is simple and just added the toile paper and a Cajun Craze mat to keep it from being too bulky.

My Triple Panel Bridge Card

So, I took a white printed card base and cut with my Paper Trimmer 1” in on either side of the front to create 3 panels. The Precut Corn Field fit perfectly for my bridge on the front. I added the pumpkins and used the Gift of Fall August 2019 Paper Pumpkin to stamp the “Happy Thanksgiving”.

Middle Panel of Card

For the middle panel, I added a piece of the grid printed card base and then mounted the round circle with the stamped the sentiment. A scattering of die cut leaves using the Circle of Seasons Dies added a whimsical feel. Two strips of Cajun Craze embossed with the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder were adhered to the card base on either side of the middle panel.

My Hello Thanksgiving Card

To help anchor the leaves, I die cut a circle using the Circle of Seasons Dies from the leftover envelope. Next, I die cut the “Hello” and added it to the circle. The Happy Thanksgiving was stamped using the same Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin Kit onto the flag. The acorn circle helped to finish off the sentiment and balance out the one copper leaf I had leftover.

Elegant Thank You Card

Elegant Thank You Card - a black/white floral thank you card
Elegant Thank You Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Elegant Thank You Card using the Textured Notes Bundle by Stampin’ Up! This is my second card using this Bundle and I decided to create another elegant black, white and gray card to match the DSP. I will post my other card at the end of this post. This DSP is currently on the Last Chance List. So, get it while you can!

The Details of My Elegant Thank You Card

For my card, I stamped the woven wicker circle in Smokey Slate and punched it out with the 1 ¾” punch. Then, I punched out a piece of the dark leafy DSP with the same punch.

I embossed a piece of Basic Black with the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder. To add some texture, I took a strip of Smokey Slate and tore it along the edge. The Smokey Slate Two-Tone Cardstock would look awesome here, but I didn’t have it.

Next, I heat embossed in white the sentiment and die cut it out with the long thin die from the Textured Notes Dies. I also used this die to die cut another strip of DSP that I layered behind the sentiment.

Once that was done, I layered a piece of white leafy DSP behind my focal point with a border of Smokey Slate that I die cut with the Textured Notes Dies. All this was layered onto a Basic Black card base.

As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Neutral Matte Dots in black and white and a bow using the White Woven Ribbon.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Thankful Grateful Blessed Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Turkey with Pie from the new release Turkey Bundle. This Bundle includes 14 images:

  • Title 13 & 14: Tukey in Gift Box JPG/PNG

The Details of My Thankful Grateful Blessed Card

The Canadian Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away. So, I decided that the Turkey with Pie would be perfect for my Thanksgiving card! Love this kooky turkey with his big buggy eyes and his Thanksgiving pie! Lol!

This was the first time for me to colour a turkey! So, I had to look online and do some research with the colours. Once, I had an idea, I coloured my turkey with my Copic Markers.

For my mini slimline card, I just bought the Simple Vintage Autumn Breeze Collector’s Essential Kit by Simple Stories and decided to use that for my card. It had everything that I needed including sentiments and chipboard embellishments!

The Bracket/Speech Bubble Dies by Photo Play make it easy to create a fun mini slimline card.

The finishing touch was to add some Red Rhinestones for sparkle and Glossy Accents to his eyes, beak and feet.

My Happy Together Card 

My Happy Together Card - an anniversary card with animal characters in scenes
My Happy Together Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share My Happy Together Card using the Sherwood Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps! This week was my wedding anniversary! So, I decided to create an anniversary card with these cuties for my Hubby! Robin Hood is his favourite Disney movie and can quote most of it! Lol! I just knew he would get a kick out of my card!

The Details of My Happy Together Card

For my card, I wanted to include all the characters on his card. So, I went with a fun fold that is like a z-fold where each panels shows a different scene ending with a card as the last panel. I have included a video at the end to show it in action.

But first, I coloured all the characters with my Copic markers and cut them out with my Brother Scan n’ Cut. Once that was done, I built my booklet with the front page being full size so that I could use the lovely leafy arch die cut and the gorgeous Meandering Meadows DSP. Perfect for my Sherwood Forest scene!

Next, was to decorate the inside panels. Again, I used the Meandering Meadows DSP to create my scenes. I used a forest one for the bear and hen and one with a path for my castle scene. The castle was built using the Build A Castle Die Set by Whimsy Stamps. This allowed me to create a size that would fit my card. I brushed Gray Granite Ink to the edges of my die cuts to give them dimension.

To add to the forest theme, I added some wood DSP the bottom of my inside panels. I even decorated the back of my panels with more DSP to hide my seams and to finish them off.

Since the card was so bulky already, the only embellishments I added were a scattering of Adhesive-Backed Birds throughout the booklet.

I used four sentiments from retired Stampin’ Up! stamp sets to complete my card.

Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards 2

Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards-Set 2 - 4 hello cards
Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards 2

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing the second set of my Farmhouse Florals Alternative Cards using the Floral Farmhouse August 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I made a total of 8 alternatives and thought to split them into 2 posts. So, I decided to group all the typewriter cards together for my second post. I will link the other post at the end.

But, first, here are the three cards that the kit makes. The Farmhouse Florals Paper Pumpkin brings a playful twist to classic blooms, featuring hand-painted flowers arranged in unexpected places. These versatile cards are perfect for thank-you notes or sending sweet messages any time of year. With whimsical designs full of rustic character, each card feels like a little surprise!

My Z-Fold Flip-Flap Card

For my first alternative card of this set, I created a z-fold card with a flip-flap on the front. Since the typewriter was small, I thought a small flip-flap would be a good way to highlight it. I used my Subtles Embossing Folder to emboss the front of the card base and then folded it in half at 2-1/8”.

Once that was time, it was time to build my focal point. I used the Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper for another card and decided to use it again to with a Secret Sea mat to anchor my flip-flap. This DSP goes perfectly with the Kit!

A hello card with a fun fold
My Z-Fold Flip-Flap Card

For the flip-flap, I used a 3” Lost Lagoon Card base on which I added a piece of Secret Sea that was embossed with the Subtles Folder. On the front, I used the Circle of Seasons Dies for the circle cut from an envelope, the Lost Lagoon “hello” and the Calypso Coral flowers.

For the inside, I stamped a piece of envelope, matted it with Secret Sea and added a strip of the printed envelope for my background. Upon this, I added the typewriter with the stamped Just a note. For a pop of colour, I added the yellow flowers.

Next, I added a stamped piece on the inside using scraps from an envelope and a Lost Lagoon mat. I made this the same size at the front so that it was a surprise when it was opened.

The finishing touch was to add some small pearls to the centre of my flowers on the front.

Measurements:

  • Card base (from Kit):
    • 4 ¼” x 5 ½” scored at 2-1/8”
  • Secret Sea:
    • 4” x 3-3/8”
    • 2-7/8” x 2-7/8” (2 pieces)

  • Other Pieces from Kit:

    • Typewriter Note
    • Yellow Floral Precut Paper Piece
    • Envelope Pieces

My Love Note Card

For my second alternative card using the Farmhouse Florals Kit, I decided to create a card using one of the typewriter card bases from the kit. The printed card bases allowed me to create 4 alternative cards instead of the 2 cards left in the kit. Have to love when you can make more cards by just adding some card stock to the existing kit!

My Love Note Card

I trimmed down the card base from the kit to fit it onto my Lost Lagoon card base. I added a small border of Secret Sea to the top of my card to balance out the bottom printed border. Next, I added the “hello” from the Circle of Seasons Dies. To give it dimension, I die cut it 3 times and glued them together. I thought adding it to where the paper in the typewriter was, gave it a whimsical touch. I stamped the sentiment and tied it with the twine through the “o” of the “hello”. The only other thing was to add some of the floral clusters pre-cut pieces around the “hello”.

Measurements:

  • Lost Lagoon Card base:
    • 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
  • Secret Sea:
    • ¼” x 4 ¼”

My Pop-Up Lunch Note Card

For my next alternative card using Farmhouse Foral August 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a Pop-Up Lunch Note Card. I shared this card at the beginning of September when school was starting as something to pop into a lunch bucket for the first day of school. It was a big hit, and I was asked for measurements. So, I thought I would add it to my list of cards.

A small hello note card
My Pop-Up Lunch Note Card

This card is very similar to the Flip-Flap of my first card, but this card came first! Lol! I used my Subtles Folder to emboss the Lost Lagoon on the front. Next, I added the die cut circle using scraps from an envelope, the Secret Sea die cut “hello”, the stamped sentiment and yellow flowers with the twine.

Inside of Card

For the inside, I thought a fun pop-up typewriter with an encouraging sentiment from the Sunrise Sailing Stamp Set would be fun! I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap of white envelope and added a scrap of the printed blue envelop to the top. All this was matted onto a piece of Lost Lagoon. Next, I created a very simple mechanism for my typewriter (see measurements below). To add a bit of colour, I used some of the floral pre-cut pieces.

My Centre-Step Card

For my first alternative card, I used my favourite fun fold and create a centre-step card! I thought this fold would be a fun way to use the handbag card base with the precut handbag that extended past the centre panel.

The only extra products that I added were the Lost Lagoon card base which was cut and scored according to the template below and the Calypso Coral “hello” using the Circle of Seasons Dies add-on. I die cut the hello three times and glued them together to give it dimension.

Centre-Step Card

For my card, I only used the front of the handbag card base. First, I cut off the bottom of the card base for the bottom panel. The bottom of the handbag from the card base will be seen, but once the precut handbag is added on top, it will be covered up.

Side View of Card
Side View of Centre-Step Card

For the centre panel, I figured out where the centre of the card base was and made my measurements going from the inside out. This allowed the floral image to continue onto the side panels. To line up the flowers I had trim the sides down resulting them in being short So, I added a small square of the envelop at the bottom of my side panels to fill in the space.

The finishing touch was to pop-up the handbag, add the flowers and sentiment with twine just like it the original card.

Measurements:

  • Lost Lagoon Card Base:
    • 11” x 4 ¼” cut/scored according to template below
  • Centre Panel:
    • 2-1/8” x 4 ½”
  • 2 Side Strips:
    • 7/8” x 3-3/8”
    • 7/8” x 7/8” (envelope)
  • Bottom Panel:
    • 7/8” x 4-1/8”
  • Calypso Coral:
    • Scraps
  • Other Pieces from Kit:
    • Handbag Precut Paper Piece
    • Handbag Handle
    • Floral Precut Paper Pieces
    • Sentiment Piece
    • Twine

My Z-Fold Card

For my second alternative card, I decided to create a z-fold card using the printed part of the envelope for the inside panel. So, I scored the front of the Card Base from the Kit in half at 2-1/8” to create my fold. Then, I used the retired Subtles Embossing Folder to add some interest to the front of my card.

I loved the window precut piece! So, the only thing I added was a die cut Calypso Coral “Hello” with a stamped sentiment tucked in behind it.

For the inside, I just trimmed off one of the envelope flaps. I found this added interest and colour to the inside of my card.

A bow made with the twine was all it needed for embellishments.

Measurements:

  • Card base (from Kit):
    • 4 ¼” x 5 ½” scored at 2-1/8”
  • Flap of Envelope
  • Other Pieces from Kit:
    • Window Precut Paper Pieces

My Half-Front Card

For my next Farmhouse Florals Alternative Card using Farmhouse Foral August 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a half-front card.

This card was cased from Laura Seki with a few tweaks from me. Loved how easy it was to create this card! First, I used my retired Subtles Embossing fold on the front again. Then, I cut the front in half and adhered the right side down to the inside card base.

For this card, the only extra product that I used was a piece of the printed envelop behind my sentiment.

My Hello Card

For my final Farmhouse Florals Alternative Card, I had the back of one of the card bases leftover. So, I decided to use it and added a Lost Lagoon card base with the last window pre-cut piece.

The Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper goes perfectly with the colours. So, I added a piece with a Secret Sea mat to help ground my window. I did some stamping to add interest where the top edge of my DSP ended.

As you might have noticed, I love the Circle of Seasons Dies add-on and used the “Hello” again on this card. I die cut it three times and glued them together. It just adds interest without being over the top!

The finishing touch was the stamped sentiment and a bow from the twine.

The Details of A Purr-Fect Day Card

This week was the birthday of my Stampin’ Up! Guru who also loves to colour. Her name is Sofi and loves cats! So, I couldn’t resist creating a card with Sophie and her kitty! Sophie also comes with a puppy version if you are not a cat person! I created a card with the puppy version a few years ago and will post it at the end.

I love this sweet image by Conie Fong and had fun colouring it with my Copic markers to match the Belle Fleur papers by Photo Play. Then, I added Wink of Stella to her hair bow and blue trim since you must have sparkle on a birthday card! Lol!

I found this delicate doily in my stash and thought it gave her a perfect backdrop against the die cut green layer. Next, I layered the ribbon swirl so that it seemed to be emerging from behind the green layer. I love that look!

The finishing touch was to add some of my favourite punched hydrangea flowers with pearls around my sentiment and the ribbon swirl.
