Conie Fong Art & Design - 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.

Bookmark Pulled Out of pocket — Bookmark Pulled Out

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.

My Birthday Celebration Card

March 4, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Birthday Celebration Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Winter Wendy. It was my birthday a while back and I decided to colour this cutie and make a card to celebrate it!

The Details of My Birthday Celebration Card

Since I used this stamp for my birthday card, I decided to colour Wendy to look like me when I had long hair. So, I pulled out my Copic markers and gave her brown hair and eyes. I picked the colours for her clothes from my paper choice. The pink was a bit tricky to colour, but I discovered by adding E04 to the RVs, it allowed the shadows of the pinks to match my paper.

For my card, I decided to create a mini slimline to match the shape of the large snowflake die. I thought it would be fun having her pop out of this die cut snowflake opening with its matching snowy paper. I added a few die cut Pool Party snowflakes to bring out the blue/green in my colouring.

The sentiment “Celebrating You Today” summed up my birthday theme perfectly! It was stamped in black and die cut with the matching flag die.

To add sparkle, I coloured rhinestones with my Copic markers to match my colour choice. I also used Star Dust Stickles on the Pool Party snowflakes and on her pompom.

My Purr-Fect Day Card

February 25, 2024 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Purr-Fect Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the new release Cat With Balloons. Isn’t he just the cutest floating with his balloons!

The Details of My Purr-Fect Day Card

For my card, I decided to create a slimline slider card so that the cat looked like he was floating up as the mechanism was pulled!

So, I created a scene with the slimline clouds die from Whimsy and the stitched sun from the Spring Showers Dies. Next, I layered the Sunny Days Designer Series Paper behind it to add more clouds. Once that was done, I added a house that I fussy cut from the P13 paper and layered a few stitched hills in front.

To keep my card simple since I didn’t want to detract from the slider, I added a sentiment die cut with a stitched rectangle.

Now that the front of the card was done, it was time to create the mechanism for the slider using the Slimline Pull Tab Dies by Heffy Doodle. Tip: I used the Foam Adhesive Strips by Stampin’ Up! to create enough dimension between the front of the card and the card base to help the slider mechanism to move smoothly.

Will You Be My Gnomie?

February 9, 2024 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Will You Be My Gnomie? as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Gnome Couple. You can also draw the Boy Gnome using the video on the Draw with Conie YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/HZtUnru5-VM?si=nE7dFjqjFEtH9im7.

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

The Details of My Will You Be My Gnomie?

For my card, I thought I would create a fun Valentine Shaker card using these cuties! So, I coloured them with my Copic markers in Valentine colours and cut them out with my Brother Scan & Cut.

The Radiant Heart Backdrop Die was perfect for my shaker part, but I need to make the card larger to fit my gnomes and the shaker. So, I made my card 6” x 6”and placed the shaker element at the top with my gnomes on either side of it.

For the shaker, I used the Stampin’ Up! Foam Adhesive Strips around the heart and again around the perimeter of the rectangle to create two shaker parts. This allowed the sequins to look like they are loose throughout but kept a nice selection visible in the heart at all times. The “Love” heart shaker elements and sequins were perfect colours to match my colour scheme. Some die cut candy hearts and a heart garland decorated my shaker element.

The sentiment was from Sassy’s Cards & Gifts. She gives out downloadable sentiments each month for free and this one was from the recent video! I was visiting my friend while putting this card together and she let me try out her Mini Minc Machine to red foil the sentiment. Love the shine! I need one of these! Lol!

To add sparkle, I used a scattering of red rhinestones and Star Dust Stickles on gnomes’ pompoms, the boy’s heart, and the girl’s flower.

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. Don’t forget to subscribe to her channel while you are there for more tutorials that come out each week!

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.

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.

Merry Christmas Elves Card

October 26, 2023 2 Comments

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 3 & 4: Candy Cane Girl Elf JPG / PNG format
Image 5 & 6: Little Gift Girl Elf JPG / PNG format
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 Sunflower Thanksgiving Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Sunflower Thanksgiving Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Sunflower Pumpkin Bundle. This purchase includes 5 PNG Images:

Happy Thanksgiving Sentiment

The Details of My Card

Since this weekend is the Canadian Thanksgiving, I decided to create a mini slimline Thanksgiving card using this beautiful sunflower arrangement. Perfect for a Thanksgiving card with the sunflowers and pumpkins!

I had fun colouring with my Copic markers the pumpkins in different colours to make them stand out from each other. The sunflowers are so gorgeous and a delight to colour as well!

I found this beautiful sunflower paper with soft colours that was fantastic for my card! I added a border at the top and bottom with some scraps of paper from Graphic 45. The fence behind the sunflower arrangement was a laser die cut that I trimmed down to fit my card.

The sentiment from the bundle was die cut with the Labels Aglow Dies to give it some interest. Of course, if you have an autumn card, you need a die cut leaf. Lol! I tucked this behind the sentiment which created an ideal backdrop for the paper sunflower from my stash.

The only other embellishments were a bumblebee and a scattering of rhinestones that matched my colour scheme.

My Pumpkin Patch Card

September 25, 2023 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Pumpkin Patch Card using the new release Pumpkin Emily by Conie Fong Art & Design as my Design Team Inspiration Card. Doesn’t she make the most perfect autumnal card, but she could also be used for Halloween or Thanksgiving!

The Details of My Pumpkin Patch Card

For my card, I decided to create an autumnal card with fall like colours with a pumpkin patch theme since she is picking out her pumpkin. I had so much fun colouring Pumpkin Emily with my Copic Markers in oranges, blue/greens and blacks to match my paper. Once she was coloured, I added Clear Wink of Stella to the ribbon on her hat. For the cat, I decided to make it a tabby cat, but it could also be a black cat for Halloween. I used my black 0.3 Copic multi liner to add the stripes after I had coloured it with my Copic markers.

Next, I die cut her out with a 4” stitched circle die and placed a number of die cut leaves and a pumpkin in one corner to match my theme. The “Hello Pumpkin” sentiment was a sticker that came in the Carta Bella Welcome Fall Kit. In the other corner, I used another sticker of a Pumpkin Patch sign. Perfect for my Pumpkin Patch theme! The leaves falling around her were also from the same sticker set.

Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of Enamel Dots that matched my colour scheme.

Halloween Is Here Card

September 16, 2023 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Halloween Is Here Card using the new release Broomstick Emily Witch by Conie Fong Art & Design as my Design Team Inspiration Card. This purchase includes 4 stamps:

The Details of My Halloween Is Here Card

I had so much fun colouring Broomstick Emily Witch with my Copic Markers in Halloween colours! Once she was coloured, I added Gold Gelly Roll to her boot buckles and Clear Wink of Stella to all the green trim pieces on her hat and top.

Next, I decided to create a mini slimline card since I wanted to use my new Haunted House Coverplate by Photo Play and thought it would be a perfect backdrop for Broomstick Emil y Witch. I added some Crushed Curry behind the windows to make them glow eerily.

I decided that the haunted house needed a big full moon. So, I die cut the moon die and brushed Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink along the edges to give it dimension. Of course, if you have a haunted house, you need a sparkly bat flying around.

For the sky, I went with some spooky green skulls paper to match my colouring. The other piece of DSP I used was a border along the left side to balance out Emily and to add some unexpected colour. This border was a perfect anchor for my black sparkly “EEK” sentiment.

Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of sprinkles that matched my colour scheme.

My Serene Birthday Card

August 5, 2023 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my second card using Serenity by Conie Fong Art & Design called My Serene Birthday Card. The Design Team members are celebrating Girls/Ladies this weekend with all things feminine! So, I picked this beautiful image to celebrate, and I coloured her twice! I will post my other card at the end.

The Details of My Card

For My Serene Birthday Card, I decided to create a mini slimline card to show that you can create different sized cards with the same image. I made my card size a little larger than a normal mini slimline to fit all my elements, but it can still fit in a No. 10 envelope.

I used the Secret Garden paper again for my colour choices in her colouring with a slight variation on her flowers from my first card. Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen was used for her necklace and Wink of Stella for the butterfly’s wings to add some shimmer.

Two different coloured versions of the lady — Serenity

Next, I went with the Photo Play dies for my background. One of the dies is shaped like a tag, but I wanted to use it for the green piece behind her. So, I snipped off the tag part and hid that part beneath the sentiment piece. The two top horizontal banners were remnants from my first card, and I didn’t want them to go to waste. Plus, they gave a finished edge to the top while tying in the colour scheme.

For the next step, I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape onto a tag cut out from the P13 paper pad.

I thought the leafy vine going from my girl to the sentiment tied everything together so nicely while adding interest.

Finally, I added a scattering of brass butterflies for embellishments.

My Serenity Blooms Card

August 4, 2023 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Serenity Blooms Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Serenity. The Design Team are celebrating Girls/Ladies this weekend with all things feminine! So, I picked this beautiful image to celebrate!

The Details of My Card

When you buy this digital stamp, you will receive two stamps with the girl’s hair flowing left or right. I couldn’t resist colouring them both with the same colour scheme, but with a variation on their flowers. So, I made one card for today and the other card will follow later.

For My Serenity Blooms Card, I decided to use the Secret Garden paper and decorative tags by P13 for my colour choices. I just love the gorgeous colours of them! I picked the paper with a wreath off to the side for my background and matted it with a matching purple paper from the P13 paper pad.

Next, I decided to add a die cut frame behind her to create some visual interest, but I thought it would be fun to have her off-centred from it. As a result, the wreath was flowing through my frame and they created a nice backdrop for my colouring.

The Decorative Tags are a perfect match to the paper, and I decided to use two of them to tie in my colour scheme. I added a bow to the top to cover the hole and finish the tags off.

For the next step, the Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen was used for her necklace and Wink of Stella for the butterfly’s wings to add some shimmer.

Finally, for embellishments, I added a scattering of brass butterflies and rhinestones coloured with my Copic markers to match my colour scheme.

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.

Rudolph Red-Nose Reindeer Card

July 7, 2023 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Rudolph Red-Nose Reindeer Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Reindeer Lights and Sentiment. The Design Team are celebrating Christmas in July at Conie Fong Art & Design Facebook Group with a 25% off sale for 3 days, July 7, 8 and 9, 2023. No coupon code needed. Visit the Etsy store at https://www.etsy.com/shop/ConieFongArt.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I found some fun Christmas lights paper with matching papers to use on my card. Once I decided on them, I coloured the reindeer in the same colours to match. I trimmed him out with my Brother Scan n’ Cut. Then, I added glossy accents to the light bulbs and Star Dust Stickles to his hat trim.

I thought it would be fun to make the reindeer’s nose glow just like Rudolph’s nose! I love an interactive card with a light switch that you push! So, I used a light mechanism from Pear Blossom Press and strategically placed it under the green piece of paper. Once I did that, I poked a hole through the green paper right where I planned to place the reindeer’s nose. I used extra thick dimensionals on the green piece to allow enough space for the light mechanism. The “Push” circle was done on my computer, printed out and then punched with a ¼” punch.

The sentiment was from the stamp set and die cut with a Stitched Rectangle Die. To balance out my card, I added some foil die cut light bulbs in matching colours to Rudolph’s light bulbs. The die cut black piece was from the light bulb die set to hang lights off, but I thought it added some fun at the top so that it looks like my focal point it being held up by it.

The finishing touch was adding some red rhinestones with one on the “Twinkle” and a couple beside the die cut light bulbs!

Magic in the Air Card

A Card with a Fairy Sitting on a mushroom — Magic in the Air Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Magic in the Air Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Sitting Pretty on Mushroom. I coloured this beautiful image twice this month using the Kit and Clowder Whimsical Wonders Class as inspiration. This is my second card, but I will include a link to the other card at the end of this post.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I used the alternative colour choice from the Kit and Clowder class and gave her a sparkly dress using a White Gelly Roll Pen and lots of dots!

Two Fairies Coloured — My Colouring of Sitting Pretty on Mushroom

Once she was coloured, I pulled out some DSP with mushrooms on it to match her mushrooms. A mushroom border die in Poppy Parade also added to this theme.

Some greenery flourishes were added behind the sentiment and in the opposite corner for a splash of colour. I love how the swirls come from below to overlap the image adding depth and interest.

The sentiment was from Rosabelle by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps. Perfect sentiment for a fairy, don’t you think?

I brushes some Vintage Photo ink to the edges of the image, sentiment and DSP to give it an earthy feel to match the distressing in places on the Pool Party piece of DSP.

I added for embellishments brass butterflies beside the sentiment and fairy with red rhinestones in the other corner.

For shimmer, I added stickles to her wings! Every fairy should have sparkly wings!
