My Christmas Pyjamas Card

My Design Team Card called My Christmas Pyjamas Card with Emma in Snowman Sweater
My Christmas Pyjamas Card

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.

My Merry Penguins Card

My Design Team card with 3 Penguins on it.
My Merry Penguins Card

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!

Stack of Christmas Gnomes Card

My Design Team Card
My Christmas Gnome Stack Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Stack of Christmas Gnomes Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the cute Christmas Gnome Stack. They come with 6 stamps including sentiment Sending Christmas Wishes and Merry Christmas in PNG and JPG.

Details of My Card

I had so much fun colouring these cuties with my Copic markers in reds, greens, and blue/greens to match my paper choice which you can see poking out from beneath the Holly border. The sparkle on my star was achieved by colouring it first and then using a technique of dots and White Gelly Roll Pen. To continue the sparkle, I die cut a flourish of stars with some metallic sparkly paper that I layered behind my sentiment. I used the leftover from this die cut to add some solid glittery stars to my card. To carry to poinsettia theme of the gnomes, I added a handmade one beside the sentiment with some gold metallic pearls in the centre to match their poinsettias. As a finishing touch, I added some red rhinestones to add even more sparkle to my card.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Remembrance Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using two digital stamps called Military Boy and Military Girl

11.11.11 – Lest We Forget! I am honoured to dedicate this card to all who have served and are serving to keep us free including my Hubby who was in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada (Princess Louise’s).

My Hubby in Uniform

I was inspired by a card design I saw using the Suit & Ties Dies by Stampin’ Up! to create a camouflage shirt. I thought this would work very well for my card! So, I used some digital paper that had a camouflage pattern on it to create my shirt. I had so much fun colouring with my Copic Markers these cuties in camouflage colours! Of course, I had to add a poppy for Remembrance from the Poppy Moments Dies.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Happy Christmas Presents Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the cute Christmas Present Gnome and Sentiment Bundle. This bundle comes with 9 stamps including Christmas Present Gnome PNG JPG format, Christmas Present Gnome with Tree JPG format, Christmas Tree PNG/JPG format, Sentiment May Your Christmas Be Filled with Peace and Love PNG/JPG format and Sentiment Season’s Greeting PNG/JPG format.

Details of My Card

I had so much fun colouring this sweet gnome with my Copic markers that I coloured him twice. Once with him and the tree separately and then him with the tree. Stay tune for a card with my second colouring later.

I love the Tulla & Norbert’s Christmas Party paper! If you look closely, you will see gnomes with presents and Christmas trees driving in convertible cars! So fun and perfect for my card! Since the paper had a lot going on, I made my layers simple for the card with the pine branches and the pink snowflake paper. The only embellishment that I used was the wooden present under the tree since you need presents under a Christmas tree!

Tombstone Treat Boxes

Decorated Treat boxes for Halloween
My Tombstone Treat Boxes

Happy Halloween Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Today I am sharing My Tombstone Treat Boxes as my Design Team Inspiration for Paper Nest Dolls using Ragdoll Sally.

I had a lot of fun colouring this cutie with my Copic Markers! In fact, I coloured her skin in three different tones. So, I created a poll in The Paper Nest Dolls Inspiration Facebook Group on which skin tone was the most popular. The most popular green skin tone was used to create a card (Link to it here), but I couldn’t resist colouring the other two to create my treat boxes.

Since it’s Halloween what better way to celebrate with treat boxes to give out to all those cute trick-or-treaters! The Stampin’ Up! Tombstone Treat Boxes were so fun to decorate with lots of little bits from my stash! And the finishing touch was my coloured Ragdoll Sallys!

Sending Christmas Wishes Card

My DesignTeam Card with Gnomes Mailing Presents
Sending Christmas Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Have you started your Christmas cards? This is my one first since Christmas in July. I am sharing my Sending Christmas Wishes Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the cute Christmas Mailbox Gnome. You receive the stamp and the sentiment Sending Christmas Love in PNG and JPG. I used the sentiment from the Christmas Gnome Stack since it suited my letter shape.

Details of My Card

I had so much fun colouring these cuties with my Copic markers in traditional greens and reds, but I added a pop of unexpected blue in the presents and bows. I love paper since it has a robin with a Christmas letter in his mouth. You can see him in the lower-right corner. I thought it would be fun to have an opened envelope with my sentiment tucked inside in one of the corners. A couple of punched snowflakes with some sparkly Kraftin’ Kimmie Dots tied in my blue. I used a lot of glitter with Star Dust stickles on their hat trim, pompoms and snow, Glossy Accents on the red Christmas baubles and Clear Wink of Stella on all the bows.

Birthday Slimline Shaker Card

My Design Team Card
Birthday Slimline Shaker Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Today I am sharing My Birthday Slimline Shaker Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the Ragdoll Sally. Every year, my Hubby and I watch Nightmare Before Christmas for Halloween. It’s also my Hubby’s birthday on Thursday and I thought a birthday card with Ragdoll Sally would be perfect for him.

I had a lot of fun colouring this cutie with my Copic Markers! In fact, I coloured her skin in three different tones. So, I created a poll in The Paper Nest Dolls Inspiration Facebook Group on which skin tone was the most popular. It turned out that the green skin tone was the winner. So, I used her for my card.

Green, purple and natural skin tones
Skin Tones of Ragdoll Sally by Paper Nest Dolls

Of course, I also coloured the others and created Halloween treat boxes with them which I plan to share later this week.

My Card Details

For my card, I decided to create not only a slimline card, but a shaker card with glow in the dark moons! So fun! I know my Hubby will get a kick out of it! I found this cool graphic on Etsy for Nightmare Before Christmas. So, I used my Silhouette Cameo to tweak it to fit my shape and then die cut it out. The moon paper was 6” x 6”, but since I only needed it for the top half of my card, I trimmed it down to fit.

The Happy Birthday sentiment was printed out on my computer using Word and the Viner Hand ITC font. I created a collage of different items around the sentiment including the glittery spider web and spider trinket. Don’t you love the pop of green that the mesh created at the bottom of the card to mirror her skin and the Lavinia moon paper!

Witching You A Happy Halloween

My Halloween Cards with a Witch on Them
My Witching You A Happy Halloween Cards

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Halloween is only a few more weeks away and I couldn’t resist sharing another Halloween card! In fact, I am sharing two cards this time since I love this digital stamp so much! I am sharing my Witching You A Happy Halloween Cards as my Design Team Cards for Conie Fong Art & Design using the cute Witchy Broomstick Gnome. She comes with 7 images including the sentiment Witching You A Happy Halloween.

Details of My Cards

Have you ever found that you have two different ideas for a digital stamp that you want to explore? I did for this cute stamp! For my cards, I created a CAS (Clean and Simple) card and another one that has many layers to it. Which type of card is your preference? I tend to lean towards lots of layers and details, but this paper from Spellbound just called to be used with minimal details.

My Clean and Simple Card with a Witch
My Clean and Simple Card

I love the spooky scene on the paper. So, I angled my witch to show it peeking out from behind her. I added a spider web doily to make her pop from the background, some glittery bats, and the sentiment that come with her to my card. That was all this card needed.

My Other Halloween Card
My Detailed Halloween Card

For my second card, I used several different layers of paper that matched the fun Copic Markers colours that I used on my witches. I used the same doily and glittery bats but added a graveyard sticker at the bottom of my card like she is flying over a graveyard. A scattering of star sequins adds some sparkle to the background.

My Perfectly Wicked Interactive Card

Perfectly Wicked Sentiment
My Perfectly Wicked Interactive Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Today I am sharing My Perfectly Wicked Interactive Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the Evil Fairy.

I was honoured to have been asked to present at the Paper Nest Dolls’ Party with the Villains Virtual Weekend Retreat that was this past weekend. I had so much fun creating my cards for the event that I made an extra one that I thought I would share with you today. The other cards that I presented at the Retreat will be posted at the end of this post.

To get in the mood and for inspiration, I just had to watch the movies both the live action and the cartoon! Any excuse to watch Disney is a good excuse in my books! Lol!

Video of my Card in Action

Movie of My Perfectly Wicked Interactive Card

For this card, I coloured the Evil Fairy with my Copic Markers to match the Disney cartoon. I have been wanting to use the Give a Whirl Dies from Stampin’ Up! and thought it would be perfect for my card! It is so fun to spin that little dial and see all the fun sentiments! These sentiments… “Perfectly Wicked!” and “Bad Girls Have More Fun!” …were created in Word. I added one of the digital papers behind them to blend in with the paper that I used on my card base. Since the Evil Fairy turns into a dragon at the end of the movie, I couldn’t resist adding a bright green dragon with a dusting of Black Soot on its edges. A castle and a few stars that were brushed with the Aged Brass were the only other elements that I added to my card.

My Happy Thanksgiving Slimline Card

My Design Team Card
My Happy Thanksgiving Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! The Canadian Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away. So, I am sharing my Happy Thanksgiving Slimline Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the new release Pumpkin Gnome. He comes with 6 images including the sentiment Sending Pumpkin Wishes.

Details of My Card

For my card, I coloured with my Copic Markers my sweet Gnome in Autumnal colours. To match these colours, I pulled out my Stampin’ Up! inks, fine blending brushes and the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps Falling Leaves Stencil to create my Fall background.

The die cut wooden fence was the perfect backdrop for my sentiment. I added a flag with Doodlebug paper that tied in my gnome’s pumpkin. A die cut leaf and a couple of embellishments added balance to that corner. The finishing touch was a scattering of rhinestone in matching colours.

My Steampunk Anniversary Card

My Design Team Card
My Steampunk Anniversary Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing My Steampunk Anniversary Card using Goth Dad and Goth Mom by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. In fact, I loved these cuties so much, that I created another card last year using the whole family. I will leave a link at the end of this post to that card.

I gave this fun card to my Hubby for our wedding anniversary this year. He loves anything steampunk and the Addams Family. So, I decided to add a steampunk vibe to my card with gears, a chain, a monocle, the Word Band, and my monochromatic colour scheme.

My Card Details

For my card, I decided that I wanted to colour the two images in black and white just like in the old TV series, but with a pop of red for the rose. I carried that colour scheme over with my paper choices and embellishments. The My Mind’s Eye paper was so perfect that I decided to make my card 6” x 6” and only cut off 1/8” for the card base. I lightly sponged Brushed Iron wax to my die cut corner gears to give them added dimension and placed them underneath Goth Dad. To mirror them, I place Cherry Cobbler die cut roses on the opposite corner underneath Goth Mom. A black doily helps to set off my focal point of the coloured stamps from the background.

For embellishments, I used a Tim Holtz Monocle and Word Band that mirror the Brushed Iron Wax in colour. I picked up the Ball Bead Chain from my local hardware store. The Cherry Cobbler Ribbon and Red Rhinestone, tie in my pop of red colour.

My Envelope Details

Since I went with a 6” x 6” card, I need to create a custom envelope and my Envelope Punch Board came to the rescue.

I used some retired Stampin’ Up Designer Series Paper that carried the monochrome theme over from the card. I used a sponge dauber to dab Cherry Cobbler Ink to the roses on the paper to tie in my pops of red. Some black lace fiber blend tied my envelope together with a seal and gold heart sticker holding the ends together.

For my tag, I used the gear tag die with the Brushed Iron Wax on the front of it and a piece of the rose paper.

On the back of the tag, I used a piece of Graphic 45 paper that had the words “Mon Amour”. Gomez and Morticia are always speaking endearments in different languages to each other. So, I thought this would tie in my theme.

Finally, the last thing I created was for the inside of my card. I took all the endearments that they said in the show and created a graphic with them.

My Otter-ly Love Anniversary Card

My Anniversary Card for my Hubby
My Otter-ly Love Anniversary 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!

My Pumkin’ Spice Card

My Pumkin’ Spice Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Pumkin’ Spice Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the new release Fall Emma. I love this time of year with the cooler weather and the turning of the leaves!

Details of My Card

I coloured Emma with my Copic Markers in Autumnal colours with rich oranges and greens. I love her little latte cup and, of course, it needed to be a Pumkin’ Spiced Latte. Not pumpkin, but pumkin’ since that is the way I say it! Lol!

For my card, I had perfect Fall paper for it which even came with tags that matched my theme! I decided to layer a die cut pumpkin and a faux wooden leaf tag behind the pumpkin spice tag. I threaded the twine from the leaf tag through the other tag to tie it all together.

Don’t you just love the latte cup peeking out from behind the central image! I used the matching paper to die cut it out and added an orange heart for pumkin spice like in the coloured stamp. I layered behind the central image a “wooden” fence that was die cut out of paper that looked like wood. A die cut leaf and a couple of Pumpkin Pie rhinestones tie in my Fall theme.

Sofi’s Happy Birthday Card

My Design Team Card called Sofi's Happy Birthday Card
Sofi’s Happy Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing Sofi’s Happy Birthday Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. My card is using the sweet Feeling Fabulous. I gave this card to a good friend whose 50thbirthday was yesterday. She is my Stampin’ Up! Guru, but loves to colour too! Happy Birthday Sofi! 

Details of My Card

For my card, I pulled the colours from the paper that I used for my Copic combinations. There are small bits of blue here and there on the paper, so I decided to make that my main colour for her dress to make her pop from the background. For the roses, I coloured them and added Star Dust Stickles to give them some “glistening dew” on the edges.

I love the Rose & Brick Border Die from Paper Roses! It is so delicate and detailed! I had just bought it in anticipation of creating my card. Placing the paper behind it and popping up the main panel with dimensionals really sets it off nicely. To balance the coloured stamp and border die, I added a couple of flags in complimentary colours to the top left-hand corner. I thought it would make the sentiment stand out by having it fly horizontally to the other flags. A couple of blue rhinestones and a yellow paper flowers tie in my colour scheme.
