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.

A Purr-Fect Day Card

A Purr-Fect Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing A Purr-Fect Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Sophie and Kitty/Puppy Bundle. This Bundle includes 8 images:

  • 1 and 2: Sophie and Kitty V1 (with flowers on dress) (JPG and PNG format)
  • 3 and 4: Sophie and Kitty V2 (without flowers on dress) (JPG and PNG format)
  • 5 and 6: Sophie and Puppy V1 (with flowers on dress) (JPG and PNG format)
  • 7 and 8: Sophie and Puppy V2 (without flowers on dress) (JPG and PNG format)

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.

Hello Sweet Friend Card

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.

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!

My Christmas Angel Card

My Christmas Angel Card  - a Christmas card with an angel holding a globe
My Christmas Angel Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Christmas Angel Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Angel of Christmas Stars

The Details of My Christmas Angel Card

For my card, I thought a shabby chic look would suit such a traditional stamp! So, I coloured her with my Copic markers in reds and greens and brushed my Vintage Photo Ink along the edges to give it an old-world look.

Once that was done, I used my Gold Gelly Roll Pen on the poinsettia centres and the trim on her dress. Next, I used Glossy Accents on the globe to give it a glass look. Finally, I added some glitter to her wings since all angels should have ethereal looking wings!

I love the beautiful Mintay papers especially the one with the poinsettias to match the angel’s poinsettias. I brushed Vintage Photo Ink onto the Mintay papers to give them the old-world look as well. Next, I tucked in a gold foil die-cut poinsettia cluster off to one side of my focal point to tie in my gold accents. 

For the sentiment, I printed out one of the many Christian sentiments from Volume 17 of Sassy’s Cards and Gifts. I then used my laminator to gold foil it and punched it out. Next, I brushed more Vintage Photo Ink to it to give it an old-world look. I then matted it with a Real Red die-cut stitched circle.

To balance the sentiment, I added on the opposite side, a corner sprig from the Mintay die-cuts that matched my paper. On top of that, I added a beautiful paper poinsettia with golden accents to tie in the angel’s poinsettias.

The finishing touch was to add some red rhinestones and gold glimmer dots around the sentiment for sparkle.

True North Canada Card

True North Canada Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy Canada Day! It’s Laurie here to share my True North Canada Card using the True North Strong & Free Stamp Set by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps. 

The Details of My True North Canada Card

For my card, I had a lot of fun colouring with my Copic Markers the beaver, the leaves and these cuties. In fact, I coloured the girl and boy to match my hubby and me! Once that was done, I cut them out with my Brother Scan n’ Cut.

The O Canada 2 papers by PhotoPlay were perfect for my Canadian themed card! They even had matching ephemera that I used for the wording. This made making my card a breeze!

I added Wink of Stella to all the maple leaves including their shirts to make them shimmer. I also added Black Gelly Roll Pen to the beaver’s nose.

For embellishments, I added some red rhinestones to tie in my colour scheme.

My Sending Hugs Card

My Sending Hugs Card - a card with a koala holding onto a tree
My Sending Hugs Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Sending Hugs Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Eucalyptus Tree Koala and Sentiment Bundle. Isn’t he just the cutest? This listing includes a total of 4 images:

  • Eucalyptus Tree Koala Right JPG format only
  • Eucalyptus Tree Koala Left JPG format only
  • Sending Hugs Sentiment JPG/PNG format

The Details of My Sending Hugs Card

First, I coloured this cutie with my Copic Markers and added Wink of Stella to the flower petals. I decided to use a W blend to give him a warm life-like colour.

Once that was done, I decided to create a faux-fun fold! Lol! I knew that I wanted to use my Palm Leaf Frame Die by Paper Rose, but my koala would have covered it almost completely. So, instead of centering him on the card, I turned the card and set him off to one side which meant he poked up above the card base. This placement gave my card a faux-step card look.

Next, I die cut the Tropical Escape DSP with the Palm Leaf Frame to add interest to it. Then, I layered a pink piece of DSP behind it to match the pink in the flowers. The pink flowers were cut from the DSP as well using the matching Tropical Dies.

The sentiment was die cut out with a stitched flag die and I layered a paper palm leaf and the pink flowers to match my DSP. To add interest to my palm leaf stem, I used a wooden skewer from my kitchen and wrapped it around to make it curl. Another palm leaf was tucked under my focal point.

The finishing touch was to add some rhinestones to the flower centres and card base for sparkle.

My Kitty Birthday Card

My Kitty Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Kitty Birthday Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the cute Cat With Balloons. I coloured this image twice a while back and I finally made a card for him! Lol! I will post the other card that I made using this image at the end of this post.

The Details of My Kitty Birthday Card

For my card, I decided to use the Everyday Skies Designer Series Paper with the Everyday Arches Dies by Stampin’ Up! for my sky. But first I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers. I added Wink of Stella to the balloons to make them shimmer.

Next, I added dimension with layers of stitched clouds behind my arched focal point on the orange background piece. I even added more clouds on my focal point behind the Kittie. 

The sentiment was die cut out with a stitched flag die to match the stitching on the arches.

The final touch was to add some Adhesive-Backed Birds to my scene and another one to the orange DSP.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Mermazing Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Rosealea Mermaid And Sentiment Bundle. This listing includes a total of 12 images in JPG and PNG format:

  • Title 9 & 10: You are mermazing sentiment JPG/PNG
  • Title 11 & 12: Have a mermazing day sentiment JPG/PNG

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

Ride Your Dreams Card - a card with a city scene and a man riding a unicorn
Ride Your Dreams Card

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.

Mother’s Day Bouquet Card

Mother’s Day Bouquet Card - a card with flowers in a watering can
Mother’s Day Bouquet Card

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

It’s Your Birthday Card - a birthday card with comic book heroes on it
It’s Your Birthday Card

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.

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.

My Easter Greetings Card

My Easter Greetings Card - an Easter card with an Angel holding flowers
My Easter Greetings Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Easter Greetings Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Angel Wishes. This purchase includes 2 Images with Angel facing left and right.

The Details of My Easter Greetings Card

For my card, I decided to create a mini slimline Easter card with this sweetie! So, I knew that I wanted to colour her with my Copic markers in soft pastel Easter colours of purples, pinks, yellows and greens. For the purple, I decided to use my BVs instead of my traditional Vs to match the papers. Another big departure for me is that I coloured her wings in B45/B41. I usually use much lighter colours like B000/B00 or BG10/BG11. My colour choices were out of my comfort zone, but I was pleased with how she turned out!

For the designer paper, I used two different paper packs. The butterfly paper in the background was from Spring Whispers and the florals was from Sweet Tweets both by The Paper Boutique. The Spring Whispers Coloured Card Collection made it easy to match my papers!

To anchor my Angel, I added a stitched circle and another circle mat. I had debated about using the Tulip Doily for my card, but decided it was too busy. However, the inside circle die from the Tulip Doily was the perfect fit for the mat of my stitched circle. I offset the circle and trimmed off the excess.

The sentiment was already on my desk leftover from anther card. It was from the Easter Bunny Trio Bundle. I added a stitched die cut behind my sentiment with the same paper to tie in the floral paper behind my focal point.

To add some sparkle, I used my Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on her wings and the ruffle of her dress. To create a soft look, I smooshed my finger on the ink before it dried.

The finishing touch was a scattering of butterflies to match the butterflies in the designer paper.

Easter Bunny Trio Card

Easter Bunny Trio Card - 3 bunnies sitting on Easter eggs hanging from a tree
Easter Bunny Trio Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Easter is coming! So, I am sharing my Easter Bunny Trio Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Easter Bunny Trio Bundle. This purchase includes 8 Images:

  • Easter Bunny Trio with Branch PNG
  • Easter Bunny Double PNG (this image includes 2 bunnies hanging on eggs as shown)
  • Easter Bunny Trio PNG (this image does not have the branch)
  • Easter Bunny 1, 2, and 3 PNG (Three individual image of the bunnies (right, middle, left) with longer string for layering images)
  • Sentiment: Some Bunny Loves You – PNG
  • Sentiment: Happy Easter – PNG

The Details of My Easter Bunny Trio Card

I had so much fun colouring with my Copic markers the bunnies’ fur in different colours and their eggs in Easter colours of pink, purple and green. I knew that I wanted the flowers in the tree to look like cherry blossoms in pinks with yellow centres.

For my card, I decided to create an Easter scene that is bursting from the frame. Literally! Lol! So, I die cut some stitched clouds and brushed some Balmy Blue Ink along the top edges of the clouds and where the two clouds over lap. This allowed the frame to pop out from the clouds and gave the clouds dimension.

Once the clouds were done, I picked out some DSP that had sky and clouds. The clouds on the DSP have a UV coating for a fun shine!

Next, was to find the perfect frame for my focal point of the bunnies. I decided to go with a frame smaller than my scene to give my card a fun whimsical feel. I tucked the top of the branch underneath the frame, but had the rest of the branch, flowers and bunnies poking out.

To add sparkle to my card, I used my Wink of Stella on the ribbons and Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on the accents, like the polka dots, flowers and scallops on the eggs. For the bunnies’ noses, I used a Black Gelly Roll Pen to make them stand out.

A finishing touch was to add a scattering of brass butterflies around my card.
