Christmas - Stamp With Laurie

My Ruby Bookmark Card

April 5, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Ruby Bookmark Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Dog with Bone and Candy Cane Bundle. This Bundle is so versatile! I used the Candy Cane Dog for a Christmas tag and now I’m using Dog with Bone for a bookmark! I will include a photo of my Christmas tag at the end of this post.

This Bundle includes 4 images:

Title 3 and 4: Dog with Bone (PNG/JPG Format)

The Details of My Ruby Bookmark Card

I made this bookmark card for a friend’s birthday who has a dog called Ruby. So, I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers to look like her dog.

Bookmark with Dog holding a Bone — My Ruby Bookmark

I thought it would be fun to give my friend a bookmark that she could use, but still wanted to create a card. So, I created a mini slimline card with a pocket on the front in which to slip the bookmark. I love how the puppy is peeking out of the pocket! Once I coloured this cutie, I had a lot of fun decorating my card and bookmark.

For my card, I used the Slimline Tag dies from Marianne Design to create a pocket on the front. I decorated it with the puppy paws and hearts DSP. The sentiment was printed on my computer, punched out and placed with a doily behind it. I get a hoot out of the “Hot dog! It’s your birthday” from the Puppy Love paper! So, I placed it over the birthday part of the circular sentiment.

For my bookmark, I used the smaller Slimline Tags dies with the words and hearts from the Puppy Love paper. The doily gave a perfect backdrop to focus on my puppy! The puppy paws adhesive Gems added some fun bling. The tassel was from Christmas, but I thought that pop of colour was perfect for my colour scheme. So, I remove the Christmas charm and add some dog appropriate charms instead and tied it to my bookmark with some twine from my stash.

Season to be Freezin’ Card

January 22, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Season to be Freezin’ Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Yeti with Tree. Paper Nest Dolls has several Yeti stamps to the point you could have a whole Yeti family! I just love these cuties so much that I made another card with the Yeti Father and Son for Christmas and have included a link at the end of this post to it.

The Details of My Season to be Freezin’ Card

For my Yeti, I had coloured him with my Copic markers before Christmas but didn’t get a chance to get him onto a card. So, I decided to create a winter themed card for him. I coloured his fur texture with individual strokes in the shadows and left the highlights white. The tree was also coloured with individual strokes to create lots of texture.

The Doodlebug paper that I used, had Yetis on it, but I went with more neutral papers to create my wintery scene. The sentiment was from the matching Chit Chat and was perfect for my wintery theme.

Next, I added a birch tree die cut for my wintery scene and, to add interest, I used a Stitched Hillside Die to complete my scene.

For embellishments, I used some wooden snowflakes that I had in my stash for that rustic look.

Warmest Winter Wishes Card

January 18, 2024 4 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Warmest Winter Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Baby Seals On Iceberg from her drawing tutorial on You Tube. Conie Fong has started a Draw with Conie YouTube channel where you can draw along with her: https://www.youtube.com/@DrawWithConie.

You can share your drawings in her Draw with Conie Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/339082068864209/

The Details of My Warmest Winter Wishes Card

For my card, I kept my card design simple in line with the simple drawing of the seals. The seals were coloured with very few Copic markers leaving a lot of uncoloured white space. Really, I just coloured the shadows for them and the ice flow and used my Colorless Blender to soften the edges of the colour to the white.

I had the perfect Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! to create a mini slimline card for these cuties! It had a winter artic scene with icebergs and ice flow, but it had polar bears on it! So, I strategically cut my DSP so that the bears would be hidden by the placement of my seals. Lol!

Next, I used a white mini slimline scallop die cut to frame my scene having it pop from all the blues. This also gave a support for my seals so that it looked like the seals are floating out of the scene.

The sentiment was stamped on white, and die cut with a stitched flag die. Again, I liked how it popped against the dark blue sky. The final touch was a few wooden stars that I had in my stash.

My Beary Christmas Cards

December 21, 2023 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Beary Christmas Cards using the Beary Cute Bundle by Stampin’ Up! which includes the Beary Cute Stamp Set and coordinating Beary Cute Punch. This bundle is retiring. So, make sure you get it before it’s too late!

The Details of My Beary Christmas Cards

For my cards, I decided to make a floating element using one of the scenes from the Beary Christmas Designer Series Paper. I had so much fun that I created two different cards with the same elements. For one, I used Misty Moonlight and the other, Balmy Blue card stock bases. A floating element uses acetate or window sheet on which you adhere strips of DSP leaving gaps between the pieces. Then you use dimensionals under the DSP to make it look like the element is floating.

The scene strips were cut at ½” width and lined up in order on my window sheet for placement before adhering them down. I started with the two end pieces and then the centre ones working out to the ends. Tip: use grid paper for an even gap between pieces. Since the DSP was ½ wide, it allowed me to place my dimensionals behind the paper. Thus, hiding them to complete my floating element.

Misty Moonlight Card

I made the Misty Moonlight card portrait and used the largest square from the Stylish Shapes Dies to die cut my square once I had adhered the 5 DSP scene pieces to the Window Sheet.

I stamped snowflakes in Misty Moonlight for a tone-on-tone around my central focal point.

The sentiment was white embossed on some Real Red card stock and then fussy cut with my Paper Snips.

The polar bear was stamped in Misty Moonlight and Real Red for his scarf before it was punched out.

Balmy Blue Card

For my Balmy Blue card, I decided that I wanted to use more of the DSP. So, I made the floating element larger with 6 pieces of DSP and wider gaps. I stamped the Balmy Blue snowflakes at an angle through the centre of the card. This allowed the snowflakes to show through the Window Sheet!

The sentiment was stamped in Real Red and snipped on an angle with my Paper Snips.

For both cards, I used the white snowflakes from the Adhesive-Backed Snowflake Assortment as my embellishments.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Beary Cute Bundle (162023), Stylish Shapes Dies (159183)

Inks: Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin’ Pad (153118), VersaMark Ink (102283), Balmy Blue Classic Stampin’ Pad (147105), Real Red Classic Stampin’ Pad (147084)

My Cup of Cheer Card

December 18, 2023 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Cup of Cheer Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stamp called Emma in Reindeer PJ’s.

The Details of My Cup of Cheer Card

I had so much fun colouring Emma in her cute PJs with my Copic markers to match my non-traditional paper choice! For my card, I thought the Christmas cookie paper would be perfect since cookies and hot chocolate are a great combination, especially gingerbread! Yum! The pretty plaid pattern paper really brought out the non-traditional colours of my card.

Isn’t that die cut mug just the cutest! For the mug, I knew I wanted to use the snowflake tag and found that the die just fit it. To add some dimension to my mug, I blended some Pool Party ink along the edges. I also blended some Pink Pirouette Ink along the edges of the heart. I thought it would be fun to add whipped cream and a candy cane just like Emma’s. The spoon was die cut from some metallic paper that I had. Of course, if you have hot chocolate, you need marshmallows! Lol!

Since there was a lot going on the card already, I went with a simple die cut sentiment with a few red rhinestones to match my candy cane.

Finally, I used Glossy Accents on Emma’s candy cane, Stardust Stickles on the reindeers’ noses and Wink of Stella on Emma’s and the mug’s whipped cream.

Yeti for the Holidays?

December 6, 2023 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Yeti for the Holidays? as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Yeti Father and Son. I just love these cuties. There is a Yeti Mom and Baby that you could add to this card for the whole family! Lol!

The Details of My Yeti for the Holidays?

I had a lot of fun colouring these two with my Copic markers! I decided to create a fur texture with individual strokes in the shadows and left the highlights white. The tree was also coloured with individual strokes to create texture. The Father Yeti’s tie pulled together my colour scheme of red and green.

For my card, I wanted to use the Whimsy paper with these cuties. This paper is perfect for those wintery scenes! In fact, I used it for another card that I made a few years ago and will post it at the end.

So, I created a slimline card using the Dotted Slimline Dies by Studio Katia. I used all three dies that came in the set to create my card. I thought it would be fun having the yetis stepping out of the wintery scene with their Christmas tree.

To complete my wintery scene and to add interest, I used a Stitched Hillside Die to add an extra layer to the scene. I made sure that my “snowbank” did not cover up the snow-covered trees on the background.

Next, I typed and printed my sentiment out on my computer. There are so many great sentiments out there that it was hard to pick one! Lol! The sentiment was die cut out with another stitched die.

For embellishments, I used some wooden snowflakes that I had in my stash for that rustic look and a scattering of red rhinestones to add sparkle.

Celebrate the Season Card

November 20, 2023 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Celebrate the Season Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stamp called Emma in Christmas Sweater.

Details of My Celebrate the Season Card

For my card, I decided to create a mini slimline card using the Pink Fresh scallop die. What is so nice about this die is that it cuts two scallop rectangles at once. I used both scallop rectangles with one in pink and one in red to match my colour scheme.

I love Mintay Papers, and the Merry Little Christmas paper is gorgeous! So, I decided to use it for my colour scheme of red and pink with white accents. I coloured Emma with my Copic markers to match my colour scheme. Don’t you just love her snowman sweater! In fact, I have coloured this stamp before. I will include a link at the end of this post to the other card that I made using her.

For the sentiment cluster, I used a silver snowflake to add some sparkle, a fussy cut candy cane from the Mintay paper and a die cut sentiment.

Next, I 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 more sparkle.

Crackin’ Holidays Panel Card

November 13, 2023 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Crackin’ Holidays Panel Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the New Release Christmas Nutcracker Ensemble Bundle. This purchase includes 4 Images:

Image 1: Christmas Nutcracker Ensemble, PNG format
Image 2. Nutcracker Drummer, PNG format
Image 3. Nutcracker King, PNG format
Image 4. Nutcracker Soldier, PNG format

The Details of My Crackin’ Holidays Panel Card

For my card, I wanted to create a Nutcracker Ballet themed panel card that when closed, you see just the Soldier and Drummer and then you open it to see the King. So, I used the individual nutcrackers in the stamp set and coloured them in traditional colours with my Copic markers.

Front of Card with Soldier and Drummer Nutcrackers

For the panel card base, I used a premade card blank from Hunkydory, but you could easily create one yourself. I used a pencil and traced the edges of the card base onto the music DSP and then used my Paper Snips to cut it out. The music DSP was perfect to represent the March of the Nutcrackers music from The Nutcracker Ballet. Next, I brushed Vintage Photo onto the DSP. This was two-fold…one to cover where my cutting was not perfect and the other to add a finished edge to the base.

To highlight the nutcrackers in each of their panels, I layered each with a plaid piece of DSP that matched my colouring and a Real Red mat that I die cut out with the Mini Slimline Stackables from Lawn Fawn. For the smaller panels, I used nutcracker DSP with Real Red mats and a pair of glimmery ballet slippers to match my theme.

For embellishments, I added some distressed gold die cut garlands and ribbons at the top of each nutcracker panel. I also added some red rhinestones to add some sparkle, in addition, to the Clear Wink of Stella on all the gold trim of the nutcrackers.

To keep my card closed, I created a 1 ½” belly band of DSP and Real Red card stock with an ornament sticker from my stash.

Home for the Holidays Alternatives

November 7, 2023 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Home for the Holidays Alternatives using the Home for the Holidays Paper October 2023 Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! When I saw this kit, I knew that I wanted to make some alternative cards! In fact, I had so much fun that I made 5 of them! Lol! I went into detail for two of them and have posted the others along with a downloadable Faux-Step Template at the end of this post.

The Details of My Home for the Holidays Alternatives

For my cards, I thought a faux-step card would be perfect way to use the detailed pre-cut village scenes! Plus, it allowed me to move the faux step to where I thought it worked best on each card!

So, I cut one of the card bases from the Paper Pumpkin Kit creating a 3” piece and a 2 ½” piece. Thus, allowing me to make two cards from this one card base! Next, I used my Paper Trimmer to cut a Thick Basic White and a Night of Navy card bases using the template at the end of this post for measurements.

Basic White Alternative Card

For the Basic White card, I used the back of an envelope from the Warm Wishes Cards & Envelopes to cut a piece of the red diagonal stripes for behind my scene. I love how it makes the scene pop! Next, I placed the faux step in the centre since you can see the trees on it through the village.

The rest of the card was built according to the placement in the instructions. I just made sure that the dimensionals for the village were on the narrow band at the bottom and my sentiment was attached to the faux step.

Side View of Card — Side View of First Card

Night of Navy Alternative Card

For my Night of Navy card, I used one of the cards from the 5” x 7” Warm Wishes Cards & Envelopes. I love that the night scene continues onto the back of the cards! This allowed me to cut a 5-3/8” piece of the night sky with the trees making sure that I did not include the moon in my piece (we did not need two moons on the final card! Lol!). However, this left a scored line on my final card. So, to cover the score line, I placed the faux step to the right. It also helped to balance out the smaller pre-cut village that I used.

In addition to this, I added a strip of snow from my cut-up Warm Wishes Card on the final card base under my village.

Second Christmas Card with village scene — Night of Navy Alternative Card

Since the smaller pre-cut village ended short on my card, I decided to place the glittery strip and stamped sentiment to the left covering the void. I used my paper snips to trim them down.

The final thing was to add the glitter glue that came in the Kit to the snowy villages for both cards.

Merry Christmas Elves Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Merry Christmas Elves Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Christmas Girl Elves. This purchase includes 8 Images:

Image 7 & 8: Big Gift Girl Elf JPG / PNG format

The Details of My Merry Christmas Elves Card

For my card, I decided to go with traditional colours and use my favourites red and green Copic markers for these cuties. Once they were coloured, I went with an 8 ½” x 4” slimline card to fit my colouring.

I also decided that I wanted to create a rustic look to match my papers. So, I blended Vintage Photo ink along the edges of my coloured piece to make them look worn.

The Simple Stories paper matched my Copic colours perfectly! Since my card was so long, I used a 12” x 12” paper for the base and the smaller 6” x 6” pad for accent pieces. These accent pieces were die cut ticket stubs that I repurposed to create some interest in the background papers. I cut two of them using the Simple Stories paper and two Real Red ones that I used as a border. I placed these accents on either side of my colouring.

Next, I added some holly flourishes along the edges of my coloured piece. The “Merry” “& Bright” sentiments were stamped in Mossy Meadow and Real Red to match my colour scheme and cut out with my paper snips. They were layered onto a wooden star for that rustic feel with a Real Red stitched circle. The “25” was a tag from the Santa Claus Lane Frames & Tags which I layered another stitched circle underneath.

To add some sparkle, I used Star Dust Stickles on the white trim of their outfits and Clear Wink of Stella on the ribbons of the presents. Glossy Accents was added to the candy cane to give it a shine. A scattering of red rhinestones was added to match my colour scheme and for even more sparkle.

My Vintage Christmas Card

October 25, 2023 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Vintage Christmas Card using the Saint Nicholas Bundle by Stampin’ Up! which includes the Saint Nicholas Stamp Set and the Saint Nicholas Dies. My card was designed for a swap of the September-December 2023 Mini Catalogue.

The Details of My Vintage Christmas Card

For my card, I decided to make a vintage feel card since the Saint Nicholas is an old fashion Santa Claus. To achieve this feeling, I stamped Saint Nicholas on Very Vanilla card stock in Gray Granite Ink to give him a lighter, almost no-lines, look rather than the traditional Memento black that I usually use with my Stampin’ Blends. I have included some links at the end of this post with more Stampin’ Blends colouring tips.

My Colourings of Santa Claus — My Colourings of Saint Nicholas

Once Saint Nicholas was coloured with my Blends, I die cut him out with the matching Saint Nicholas Dies.

Next, I embossed the Crumb Cake card stock with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and brushed Crumb Cake ink along the edges to give it a worn look. The sentiment was also brushed with Crumb Cake once it was stamped in Gray Granite and die cut out with the Countryside Corners Dies.

I loved the stockings and decided to create a DSP tag incorporating them and the sentiment. The tag was inspired by one of the cards in the catalogue. The catalogues are a great place for inspiration! Lol! I added a Real Red bow at the top of the tag to match my colour scheme.

A strip of music DSP with a Real Red matt helped to anchor my focal point. The final embellishments were a couple of gems from the Loose Holly Gems & Sequins.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Saint Nicholas Bundle (163859), Tailor Made Tags Dies (155563), Countryside Corners Dies (161471)

Inks: Gray Granite Classic Stampin’ Pad (147118), Crumb Cake Classic Stampin’ Pad (147116)

My Aloha Santa Card

September 15, 2023 4 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Aloha Santa Card for as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Vacation Santa Set. There are 7 stamps, which include Surfer Santa, Ice-cream Santa, Santa with Reindeer Floatie, Santa & Mrs. Claus, Palm Tree and Flamingo & Gifts, that come in both rubber and digital stamps. I made cards with Ice-cream Santa and Santa with Reindeer Floatie from this set as well and will include a link to them at the end of this post.

The Details of My Aloha Santa Card

For my card, I thought to create an Aloha card since Hawaii is the perfect place for Santa to take a vacation before his busy time of year! Lol!

Once Santa was coloured with my Copic markers in bright vacation colours, I placed him on a stitched circle cut out from paper that looked like pool water. I thought it would be fun to place the “pool” off-centred on the card and trim a small piece off the one edge.

Don’t you just love the sparkle of the Aloha sticker, and it pulls out the orange that I used in my colouring! Of course, if Santa is in the land of paradise, he needs a sunny day to folic in the pool! Hence the die cut sun behind the Aloha. Lol!

For my card base, I used green DSP for my palm die cut frame and then some orange DSP with flowers behind it to add to my colour scheme. To mirror the palm die cut, I used a paper palm leaf in one corner.

I added some Star Dust Stickles to Santa’s hat trim, white Gelly Roll Pen for the shine on his floatie and Glossy Accents to Rudolph’s nose. Finally, for embellishment, I used a few sprinkles to match the colours of my card.

My Poinsettia Christmas Card

July 31, 2023 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I’m squeezing in one final Christmas in July card for you today! I am sharing My Poinsettia Christmas Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Christmas Leilani.

The Details of My Card

I loved colouring with my Copic markers Leilani, especially all that gorgeous hair! I matched my colouring of the flowers to the beautiful Poinsettia Garden Paper Collection by Paper Roses that I just purchased on a road trip with friends! So, I went with a deep red for the poinsettias, a blue/green for the succulents and white for the other flowers. Tip: for contrast with the reds, add C5 to the deepest shadows to make the individual petals pop.

Once she was coloured, I knew that I wanted to use the pretty Poinsettia Border Die also by Paper Roses. This was purchased on the same road trip as the paper. I loved how the die is so delicate while allowing the Paper Roses smaller poinsettia paper to peek through.

Next, I added a border of pretty lace to mark my transition between the die and the other side of the card. I used a piece of the Paper Roses paper with larger poinsettias on it as a backdrop for Leilani. Since this is a Christmas card, I thought a gold edge to it would tie in nicely to the other gold accents.

The sentiment was heat embossed in gold and matted with Cherry Cobbler. To continue the gold theme, I added a gold die cut filigree below it.

Then the paper poinsettias were added around her. The gold centres mirror the gold Gelly Roll Pen that I used on the poinsettias in my colouring.

Finally, the finishing touch was a couple of gold glitters dots placed around my focal point of Leilani.

My Sliding Santa Card

July 28, 2023 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Sliding Santa Card for Christmas in July and as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the Vacation Santa Set. There are 7 stamps, which include Surfer Santa, Ice-cream Santa, Santa with Reindeer Floatie, Santa & Mrs. Claus, Palm Tree and Flamingo & Gifts, that come in both rubber and digital stamps. I made a card with Ice-cream Santa from this set as well and will include a link to it at the end of this post.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create fun interactive slider card using Santa with Reindeer Floatie. I had so much fun colouring this cutie with my Copic markers! In fact, I coloured two of him and will use the second version on another card. I added some white Gelly Roll Pen to his floatie and Rudolph’s nose to give them a shine.

Next, I wanted to see the different layers of the papers behind him. So, I used two different slimline die sets. I picked a water-like paper for the slider piece as if he is going down a river twirling around like at one of those amusement parks. Lol! I kept the cut-out piece from the slider die and glued it through the hole onto the layer below it so that you couldn’t see the orange layer below. This added to my pool like feel.

I used some slider discs to create my slider, but in the past, I have also used pennies. I made sure that my dimensionals were round so that I could get him spinning around. There is a good video by Taylored Expressions on making a slider card using their discs. I followed it to create my slider part. I will add a link at the end of this post.

My Sliding Santa Card in Action

I decorated my card using some Christmas Chit Chat pieces. I popped up the sentiment ones making sure that my Santa would not get caught on them. A couple of matching glitter dots were added to add some sparkle.
