Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Santa Paws is Coming to Town Card using the Sweet Little Stocking Bundle and the Sweet Stocking Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! This bundle and DSP are retiring soon. Get yours while you can!
The Details of My Card
When I saw the super cute Sweet Stocking Designer Series Paper, I just knew that I wanted to fussy cut the animals out for my card. So, I made this card all about the DSP! Don’t you just love the cat’s expression with the reindeer ears or the golden retriever with the lights wrapped around him! So fun! Lol!
Two Cards with a Golden Retriever and a Cat with Reindeer Ears
I decided that my Pool Party card stock needed a subtle look without distracting from the cute DSP. So, I used the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder to add it. I thought it would be fun to create a flag with the matching DSP and then add the smaller flags in matching card stock and DSP off the sentiment. A scattering of the Matte Decorative Dots tied in the colours I used for my flags.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Christmas Pyjamas Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stamp called Emma in Snowman Sweater.
For my card, I decided that this cutie reminded me of the matching Christmas PJs that are so popular! So, I coloured her and her little friend with my Copic Markers in matching red and white. I love that you can have both cuties together or use them separately to suit your card!
Since they are wearing Christmas PJs, I went with paper that suited this theme. T’was the Night Before Christmas tag and Santa Claus is Coming to Town mirroring my red/white colouring scheme were perfect for my card! The only die cut I used was Santa and his reindeer flying overhead. I dry embossed snowflakes on Basic White card stock to set her off from the busy background. I also used Glossy Accents on the candy cane and Stardust Stickles on the trim of the hats and boots. The only thing left was to add a few red rhinestones for a bit of sparkle.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Christmas is only a month away and I’m still working on my Christmas cards. I am sharing My Merry Penguins Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stamp called Penguin Holiday Set.
For this super-fast card, I decided I wanted a winter scene for these cuties. And what better way than a slimline card to fit all the penguins on it. So, I pulled out my Frozen Whimsy Stamps Paper Pack! These cute penguins are such a fast colour with my Copic Markers! All I needed to finish off my card were a few snowflakes die cut from some glimmer paper and my sentiment. Easy-peasy!
Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Rustic Christmas Deer Card using the free Sale-a-Bration Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper and the matching Peaceful Deer Bundle. I can’t believe that today is the last day of Sale-a-Bration! You only have until tonight to get free products for every $60 you spend! Don’t miss out!
For my card, it is all about this wintery DSP and I knew that I wanted to create a rustic Christmas card with the Buffalo checked deer and those gorgeous snowflakes on the Rea lRed background! I love that the deer on the DSP can be punched out using the Deer Builder Punch! I embossed the Basic White square with the snowflakes embossing folder from the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders to set off my deer. To add a bit of unexpected colour, I used the die cut trees from the Cabin Dies and stamped the sentiment on Garden Green Card Stock. To tie in the black from the deer, I used a black mat and card base. The Matte Black Dots were perfect embellishment for my rustic card!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Otter-ly Love Anniversary Card using From The Otter Side by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps. Today is our 27th Wedding Anniversary and this is one of the cards that I gave my Hubby.
Aren’t these two otters just the cutest with their heart shaped tummies! My Hubby loves otters. In fact, there is a YouTube channel that he loves to watch that is all about two otters, Kotaro and Hana, and the antics that they get up to living in an apartment in Japan!
For my card, I decided that I wanted to create a fun “watery” scene for my two otters. So, I pulled from my stash some Designer Series Paper that had fish and waves on it and die cut it into a heart. I embossed the Detailed Dots onto the Pacific Point background to represent water bubble. I love the detail of the Memory Box wave die! In fact, I loved it so much that I made two layers with one being in Vellum! I couldn’t resist having one of the cute otters holding a wooden heart! How perfect for an anniversary card! The fun puny sentiment “To my Otter Half” was white embossed on a strip of Pacific Point with a couple of heart embellishments. A couple more wooden hearts and some water droplets on the waves all add to my anniversary/watery scene!
Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Penguin Wonderland Card using the Penguin Place Bundle which includes the Penguin Place Stamp Set and the Penguin Builder Punch by Stampin’ Up! Isn’t this penguin just the cutest!
For my card, I decided that I wanted to use the punch to create my penguin rather than stamp and punch him out. This allowed me to use Basic Black to make him pop off the card. However, I did stamp his eyes and beak from the stamp set. I also knew that I wanted to use the Giving Gifts Dies in relation to the snowflakes on the Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper. This paper is gorgeous with its specialty silver foil!
Since the Giving Gifts Dies create a fun peek-through effect only and are to be use in correlation to other dies, I used the Stitched Rectangles Dies with them to create my winter wonderland. I used the Snowy White Velvet Sheets to add a soft wintery texture to my card. Here is a tip if you need to make the same card multiple times such as for Christmas cards. Position the dies how you want them to cut and then use washi tape to keep them that position.
Tip for Die Cutting Multiple Times
To continue my wintery wonderland, I stamped snowflakes in Balmy Blue on opposite corners of the Balmy Blue mat. The DSP was cut using the Stitched Rectangles Dies as well. To tie in the silvery accents on the DSP, I die cut a single snowflake from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack using the snowflake in the Giving Gifts Dies. The finishing touch was three Subtle Shimmer Sequins placed on the snowflakes from the Giving Gifts Dies.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Great Escape Card using the Counting Sheep Stamp Set and matching Sheep Dies by Stampin’ Up! You can get both for free with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration. I am a big fan of Shaun the Sheep and love watching all the antic that he gets up to with the other sheep at the farm! The ewe on the right reminds me of him as she orchestrates a breakout from the farmer’s field. Lol!
Close Up of Ewe Orchestrating Escape
My Colouring Techniques
For my card, I used several techniques to colour my sheep so that they looked fluffy. I stamped the sheep in Smokey Slate Classic Ink on Basic White card stock. This allowed me to colour with the no-line technique which created a softer finished image without the harsh black lines with Memento Ink. Once the colouring was finished, the lines would fade in with the dots.
The second techniques I used was dots for their wool. I used the Dark Smokey Slate Stampin’ Blend in the shadows. So, along the edges where the stamped Smokey Slate ink was, where the artist indicated fluffiness in the wool and anywhere I thought a shadow would show up.
Next, I used the Light Smokey Slate Stampin’ Blend to add to the shadow areas and extend my dots further into the image from the shadows. I added a few random dots to break up the white areas in the centre of the wool.
Finally, I used my Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter and lightly brushed over all the dots to soften them a little bit. For the face and legs, I used the Smooth colouring technique. For more information on these techniques and others, I have included links on how to use your Stampin’ Blends at the end of this post.

The Details of my Card
I decided that I needed a slimline card to fit my scene so that I could include all three sheep in the great escape. Since the Basic Border Dies that I used were not long enough for a slimline card, I had to create layers to fill my scene. With lots of dimensionals, I was able to create a hilly pastureland with a cloud filled sky. For my pastureland I used two different card stocks, Pear Pizzaz and Old Olive, to add dimension to my scene. I added an 8 ½” strip of Old Olive at the base of my card on top of all the hills to hide all the uneven pieces. The In Good Taste DSP was perfect for my wooden fences.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! One last Christmas in July card before July is over! I am sharing my Slimline Interactive Christmas Besties Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. My card is using Christmas Besties digital stamp which comes with 3 stamps including Snowy the Penguin – Christmas Besties with tree, without tree and without background. I used Snowy the Penguin – Christmas Besties with tree for my card.
Details of My Card
For my card, I coloured Snowy Penguin and his sweet friend with my Copic markers. I knew that I wanted to create a slimline card with the aurora borealis filling the night sky above these cuties. One of these days, I hope to see the aurora borealis in person! It is on my Bucket List of things to do.
For my aurora borealis, I created a mask to go over my colouring using Tombow Liquid Glue. I printed out an extra image on copy paper. Once I fussy cut out the image including the star and the Christmas baubles, I applied Tombow to the back of them and let it dry.
Creating a Mask with Tombow Liquid Glue
How to Create the Sky
For my colours of the aurora borealis, I used my Blending Brushes and the Stampin’ Up! Inks of Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry and Night of Navy with Crushed Curry for the glow of the star on their tree. While the mask was still in place, I splattered Frost White All-Purpose Ink with my Splatter Brush all over the panel.
Getting Ready to Create Aurora Borealis Sky
Another reason why I went with a slimline card is that I wanted to make it interactive and add lights. The Ez-Lights from Pear Blossom Press come with 3 lights and the mechanism to make them work. I adhered with scotch tape one behind the star and the other two on either side of the sentiment. Then I used a ton of black dimensionals that were doubled high so that they cleared the mechanism.
Light Placement on Back of Card
To finish off my card, my sentiment was die cut from Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper along with the die cut star and punched stars. I used Glossy Accents on the Christmas Baubles and Star Dust Stickles on the star, pompoms, and snow.

SNEAK PEEKS! Time for another Christmas in July card! Today I am sharing 2 cards instead of one that are using a Sale-A-Bration product that you can earn for free starting in August! My Chilly Willie Cards features the free Penguin Playmates 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper. This DSP has the sweetest critters all over it and coordinates with the Penguin Builder Punch that will be in the new Mini Catalogue starting on August 3, 2021.
Card #1 Using the Penguin Playmates 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper
For my cards, I created one card and I used the leftover pieces to create my second card. For the first card, I decided that I wanted the cute penguins popping out of the circular frames from the Picture This Dies with different backgrounds. So, I fussy cut them from the DSP. Then, I stamped the snowflakes that come with the Penguin Place Photopolymer Stamp Set in Balmy Blue on a piece of Balmy Blue card stock. Once done, I then die cut it and two different pieces of the Penguin Playmates DSP. One had pink snowflakes and the other had green trees on one side and the critters on the other. This allowed me to mix and match pieces for the circles.
Card #2 Using the Penguin Playmates 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper
The embellishments that I used are also from the upcoming Mini Catalogue. They included the Subtle Shimmer Sequins and the beautiful iridescent Wonderful Snowflakes. Don’t you just love how delicate are the Wonderful Snowflakes! I wanted some smaller snowflakes to scatter on my cards. So, I ended up using the snowflake die from the Giving Gifts Dies.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing Molly’s Christmas in July Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. My card is using Molly’s Christmas Digital Stamp which comes with 3 stamps including Molly without dog, Molly with short ear dog and Molly with long ear dog. I used the short eared dog for my card.
Detail of My Card
For my card, I coloured Molly with her wagon of Christmas goodies and her sweet puppy with my Copic markers. Since the stamp seemed to have a country vibe, I decided to create a homey feel to my card. I brushed Vintage Photo Distress Ink on the edges and corners of my coloured image. The papers from Simple Stories really added to the country feel with the quilt design and shabby look.
I gave some dimension to the poinsettia die by cutting out the poinsettia 3 times. Once for the green base with the holly and twice in the red velvet. I snipped the unwanted pieces of red velvet away from my poinsettia. Then, I glued together the red velvet flowers and added some Metallic Pearls before I popped it up to overlap my focal point. I positioned the red poinsettia so that the green poinsettia below peeked out looking like the green leaves before they turn red. Since I die cut the poinsettia in the red velvet, I had the red berries left over to place in amongst the green holly leaves to add a bit of colour.
I knew that I wanted to use the wooden tree embellishment that I had in my stash but decided that it needed more to it. So, I created a tag with the Simple Stories paper that tied in my colours perfectly. However, the tag was too long. So, I die cut it once and then moving the die up and cut it again to create a smaller die. The red bow was fashioned from some fiber blends that I had in my stash. Star Dust Stickles, Gold and Clear Gelly Roll Pens add some sparkle with the red rhinestones.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Just Saying Hello Card as my second May Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design.
For my card, I used the sweet Sophie and Puppy and coloured her with my Copic markers. I couldn’t resist colouring all her luscious curls red! Did you see her adorable puppy too! The sentiment is from the Maisy and Cory Mice Bundle. I thought having it layered into the heart made it pop out as if Sophie is saying “Just saying hello!” to the recipient.
I had a paper pad of banners that I thought would provide a perfect backdrop for her! It made a large 5” x 7” card but set her of really nicely. Since I wasn’t planning to use it as a banner, I tied some Gorgeous Grape sheer ribbon between the holes for the banner part. For my embellishments, I used some sequins, bakers twine and the cutest dog bone trinket! I also added rhinestones which I coloured with my Copic marker to match my card. Clear Wink of Stella was used on the flowers of her dress, hair bow and shoe bows to add a bit of subtle shimmer.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Welcome to the World Card using the new Hanging Stars Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios that will be released on May 13th. There are 4 super cute stamps being released that day including Dinosaur Friends, Spaceship and Treasure Island!
Rachelle Anne Miller currently has a contest on her Instagram for you and a friend to win all the new digital releases on Release Day! Enter it here:
For my card, I decided that I wanted to use the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper that I had in my stash. Since I knew that Stampin’ Up! has alcohol markers to match the soft colours in the DSP, I used my Stampin’ Up! Blends in those colours. I love how it turned out! Perfect for a new born baby boy that was born recently by a carding friend!
I used a lot of sparkle with the Wink of Stella on the stars and Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on their tummies. I also used my White Gelly Roll Pen to add some “sparkle” here and there. The photo doesn’t do all the sparkle justice. So, I created a little video showing it.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Happy Birthday Card using the stamp called ‘Birthday Mouse’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. Everyone needs birthday card and this one is perfect for a little boy!
I decided to try my hand at making a Clean and Simple Card and let the image take centre stage for my card. I used my Copic markers to colour the stamp in oranges, blues, greens and yellows that I pulled from the Doodlebug Paper Pad. A great colour scheme for a little boy! I have been wanting to use the Stitched Whimsy Dies for a while and thought they would add a touch of whimsy to my card. The sentiment comes with the stamp, but I decided that I wanted to pop it up and added a bit of colour behind it with a piece of die cut paper from the paper pad. A scattering of sequins, Clear Wink of Stella on the star and dots and White Gelly Roll pen dots on the balloons finish my card off.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Welcome Spring Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. This digital stamp is called Bunny Tulips and comes with the bunny in the flower pot and two sentiments.
Spring has finally arrived in my part of the world! The tulips and daffodils are blooming, and the birds are singing. I love Spring and the renewal of life that it brings!
For my card, I coloured this sweet stamp with my Copic markers in Spring like colours of pink, yellow and blue. Did you know that you can have pink and yellow snails! Lol! I love how the bunny is peeking out of the flower pot! I used Glossy Accents on the pot to give it a shine and Stickles on the butterfly to make her sparkle!
For my embellishments, I had some paper tulips that were very long. So, I sniped them down and wrapped them like a bouquet you get in the store. I used some paper ribbon that I die cut into a square for the wrap. A piece of raffia tied around the bundle finishes this lovely bouquet off. I added a paper butterfly that matches the fence which was die cut using the Picket Fence Die-namics. I coloured a few of the pearls to match my card and added a few uncoloured ones to match the paper butterfly.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Sweet Maisy Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. This digital stamp bundle is calledMaisy and Cory Mice Bundle and comes with six images including two mice and 4 sentiments.
I just coloured Maisy with my Copic markers for my card thinking it would make a sweet Mother’s Day card. My cosmos flowers came out vibrant and bright to create a nice cheery card. I used Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo Designer Series paper from the Brights Collection by Stampin’ Up! to match my bright and cheery colours. The doily I found loose in my stash and thought it created a perfect backdrop for Maisy. The hearts were punched out from the Please as Punch Designer Series Paper to be layered behind Maisy. I love the sentiments that come with the bundle and thought that “Just saying hello” could be used for so many different occasions. To add some bling to my card, I wanted to use some rhinestones but tie in the pink. So, I coloured them with my RV 19 Copic marker. Voila! Instant matching embellishments!
