My Christmas Besties Card

My Design Team Card — My Christmas Besties Design Team Card

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.

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.

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.

Molly’s Christmas in July Card

July 15, 2021 Leave a comment

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.

My Mythical Birthday Card

July 11, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Mythical Birthday Card using the Mythical Cthulu Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps! This card was delivered to a little boy whose birthday is today. He loves anything mythical and especially Cthulhu which is a fictional cosmic entity created by writer H. P. Lovecraft.

For my card, I decided that a slimline slider card would be so cool with Cthulhu rising from the watery depths of the ruined city of R’lyeh (some Cthulhu Mythos for you)! I always create interactive cards for the little boy’s and his brother’s birthdays and get the best reactions from them! His reaction to this card was “Laurie’s cards are always good, but this is the best card ever!”. This just made my day!

Cthulhu Rising From R'lyeh — Cthulhu Rising From R’lyeh

I only used four Copic markers to colour Cthulhu. To make the Scary Town Die fit my slimline shape, I cut it in two. I then added some stitched hills to create my multi-level town. Since this was supposed to be at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, I added some sand with Crumb Cake Card Stock and use the embossing folder to give it texture. What better place to stamp the sentiment that came with the stamp set: “Happy Birthday to Cthu!”.

I had debated about using my Distress Inks to create my water background, but I found this DSP that was perfect for my scene. It even had fish!

To make my slider mechanism work, I used a ton of dimensionals, especially the Foam Adhesive Strips by Stampin’ Up! I even created a video with the slider card in action.

I’m Smiling Under This Face Mask

My Covid Design Team Card — I’m Smiling Under This Face Mask Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing I’m Smiling Under this Face Mask as my Design Team Inspiration Card using a number of digital stamps by Paper Nest Dolls including Essential Worker (Doctor), Essential Worker (Nurse), Essential Worker (Masks Set) and Avery in Heart.

I just received my second dose of the Covid vaccine on Monday and my Hubby received his on July 1^st, which was Canada Day for us. So, I made a card for my Hubby and a different one for me to give to the medical staff as our way of showing our appreciation for what they are doing.

Don’t you just love the sentiment, “I’m smiling under this face mask”! It was from a Covid Fundraiser by Stampin’ Up! where you could buy a PDF with a ton of Covid sentiments.

Inside of My Covid-19 Card — Inside of My I’m Smiling Under This Face Mask

I love how you can add the Essential Worker (Masks Set) to a digital stamp either afterwards like I did with the doctor and nurse or add it directly to the stamp. I decorated the inside of my card with the Avery in Heart digital stamp, but I added a mask directly to her using Word. Then I coloured her with my Copic markers to match the nurse and doctor on the front of my card. I layered her onto the heart beat which I die cut from a die in my stash.

My Hubby’s Card

For my Hubby’s card, I created a Canadian flag on the front since he was getting it done on Canada Day. I even used “red/white checked flannel” Designer Series Paper for the background. Can’t get any more Canadian than that! Lol! Instead of using the Essential Worker (Masks Set), I left their faces bare. Isn’t it neat how you can get two different looks with and without the masks!

For the inside of his card, I used the Share Sunshine PDF Download by Stampin’ Up! for the Thank you Hero sentiment and punched it out using the Heart Punch.

Penelope Poppy Birthday Card

June 28, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my second Design Team Inspiration Card for June using the cute Penelope Poppy by Conie Fong Art & Design.

My mom’s birthday is coming up and I thought that Penelope would make a pretty birthday card! I had fun colouring her with my Copic markers in bright reds to match her poppies. I pulled out all my poppy crafting supplies to make my card. Stampin’ Up! has several poppy dies and I couldn’t resist creating a poppy to set off the sentiment. Even the paper behind the die cut that she is layered on has poppies. I decided to create a Soft Suede frame to focus on her and the sentiment. A scattering of red rhinestones adds to the red poppy theme!

Fun in the Sun Card

June 21, 2021 Leave a comment

Happy Summer Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Fun in the Sun Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stamp Surfer Emma.

First day of Summer was yesterday which inspired my card! This card came about because I just bought the Slimline Waves Die by Whimsy Stamps and couldn’t wait to play with it. I debated about a shaker card but decided that a scene using the waves as separators between the sand, water and sky would be fun.

I had this cool birthday paper in my stash that looks like waterdrops. Perfect for the fun colours of my image which I coloured with my Copic markers! I added a couple of “water drops” with my acrylic dew drops on some of the Bermuda Bay swirls around my stamp. For my sand and sky, I used a couple of embossing folders to add texture. Then I lightly brushed ink over the raised parts and edges to give those areas more dimension. Another fun accent was that the cloud and “sunshine” word were die cut from white felt to make them seem fluffy. Some shells from the dollar store add to my beachy theme.

My Angel Messenger Card

June 9, 2021 2 Comments

My Design Team Inspiration Card — My Angel Messenger Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my first Design Team Inspiration Card for June using the sweet digital stamp Angel Messenger by Conie Fong Art & Design. This is such a pretty image and can be used for so many occasions like Birthday, Sympathy, Get Well, Thinking of You and so on.

For my card, I had some leftover paper from the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps 2021 Spring Mini Retreat Weekend that I really loved with soft pinks, greens and purples. So, I used that to pull out my colours for my Copic markers. Once I coloured her wings, I used Star Dust Stickles to make them sparkle. Of course, all Angels have radiant wings! I love this paper so much that I used it for all my dies cut pieces including the bird and branches. The paper pad even has beautiful tags. I couldn’t resist fussy cutting one out and adding it with a pretty bow. A perfect setting for my die cut bird! A scattering of rhinestones and sequins were the only embellishments that my card needed.

As You Wish Card

June 7, 2021 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my As You Wish Card using the Twoo Luv Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps! Princess Bride is one of my favourite movies ever! So, when I saw Kindred Stamps has this stamp set, I couldn’t resist buying it!

This is another super-fast card to make since the stamps colour up so quickly and the background paper is from the Enchanted Forest Paper Pack by Whimsy Stamps. I used my Copic markers to colour my characters to match the characters in the movie. I thought this slimline paper was perfect to represent the ‘Fire Swamp’ in the movie where Westley and Buttercup meet the R.O.U.S.’s (Rodents of Unusual Size)! The only other thing that needed to be added was the sentiment which I embossed in white on black cardstock. Easy-peasy!

Twirly-Whirly Birthday Card

June 3, 2021 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Twirly-Whirly Birthday Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stamp Emma with Pinwheel.

I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers to match my pinwheel paper. This paper was perfect for my card! I love the pinwheel Sizzlits that I had in my stash. If you have a pinwheel, you need to have a slider to make it move! And, since you need room to twirl your pinwheel, I made a mini slimline card! The sentiment was too long for my card. So, I snipped it on wonky angles and adhered them haphazardly to mirror my fun card.

Did you know that you can currently (until June 6/21) get this digital stamp for free over at the Kit and Clowder Facebook Group:

Just Saying Hello Card

May 30, 2021 Leave a comment

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 Kitty/Puppy Bundle 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.

I Love Paris Card

My Design Team Card I Love Paris — I Love Paris Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my last Design Team card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. I have decided to step down from the Design Team to spend more time with my family. For my I Love Paris Card, I decide to use my favourite RAM stamp called ‘Paris’ Digital Stamp. Nothing is more beautiful than Paris any time of the year, even when it’s raining! We love to visit Paris as much as possible and have been there 4 times so far! In fact, my character as a Design Team Member had a little Eiffel Tower on her sweater. Isn’t she a cutie!

Laurie's RAM Design Team Character — Laurie’s Design Team Character for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios

For my card, I knew that I wanted to use the Letters From Paris Paper Pack from Wild Rose Studio. So, I coloured with my Copic markers to match the colours of my paper. The Amour word was perfect since Paris is known as the City of Love! Don’t you just love the Eiffel Tower charm with the linen thread tied in a bow to the flag! I used clear epoxy raindrops interspersed between the raindrop that sparkle from my Gelly Roll Pen because even the rain in Paris is magical!

My Witcher Birthday Card

A Birthday Card — My Witcher Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Witcher Birthday Card! Today is my big brother’s birthday and I know that The Witcher TV Series is right up his alley. So, I combined all 4 characters from the Monster Hunter Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps onto my mini slimline card.

I coloured the whole Monster gang with my Copic markers for a colouring challenge a while ago. I used the Bard for another card (I will link it at the end of the post). So, I had to recolour him. I love Kindred Stamps! They are such a fast colour!

For my card, I created a scene using only a few things. I love the Lavinia SceneScapes Paper! They have such amazing eerie scenes that can be used for square 6” x 6” card or cut down to fit my mini slimline card. I used the Stitched Hillside dies to create the ground. Finally, I used the Word Bubble dies to finish my scene.

I even decorated the inside of my card with a coin from the stamp set that I coloured with my Copic markers and a strip of the leftover paper. If you watched the Witcher, you know that he swears…a lot. So, I included a couple of more colourful sentiments inside my card that I knew my brother would recognize.

Wish Upon a Star Card

My Wish Upon a Star Design Team Card — My Wish Upon a Star Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Wish Upon a Star Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the sweet digital stamp Minnie Amara. You can buy this stamp in either rubber or digital if you join the Paper Nest Dolls Stamp Club. I am a big Disney fan and when I saw that you can get the cutest Disney inspired stamp by Paper Nest Dolls, I just had to join it!

I had a lot of fun colouring Minnie Amara with my Copic Markers even though I found it challenging to colour her skin and hair.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought a shaker card in the shape of an admission ticket would be so fun! I used my Silhouette Cameo to find a ticket shape and downloaded the file. This shape came with a number of other ticket designs, but I loved the Magic Kingdom Castle shape at one end. Since I didn’t have any Disney confetti, I downloaded a Mickey head SVG file and cut some out on my Silhouette Cameo. I die cut the Stitched Minnie Bows from Stamp AnnieThing’s Magical Celebrations Grab and Go Box using a piece of paper from the paper pads with a red background and white dots that matched my colouring. I also threw in some red, black and gold sequins and stars that I had in my stash. Did you know that Paper Nest Dolls has Krafty Bling which includes a Magical Mix and Mouse Ears. I will have to get some for my next card!

I love the Magical Adventure 2 and Wish Upon a Star paper pads by Echo Park. Perfect for my Disney themed card! I fussy cut a couple of tickets from the paper that was leftover when I used it for the base of my shaker window. The Do You Believe was a tag in the paper pad and the wish upon a star was from the matching Ephemera.

Stack of Sweet Wishes Card

My Design Team Card for Copic for Alle — My Stack of Sweet Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Stack of Sweet Wishes Card as my Guest Design Team Card for Copic for ALLE. I was so excited to be asked to be on their GDT again for the month of May. Their Color Challenge for May is using E (Earth Tone) Copic markers. I use Es in so much of my colouring. They really are a staple for me!

For my card, I pulled out Swiss Pixie Cupcake Birgitta by C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps. A friend, Nathalie, asked me to show her some colouring techniques and I thought this image would be a good one for us to colour together.

I showed her skin blending using E Copic Markers (E000/00/21/11/04/R20). Here is a collage of the skin colouring steps:

Next we worked on her hair using E Copic Markers (E18/E15/E13/E11). This is the collage for the step to colour the hair:

For my card, I created a mini slimline card for my sweet Birgitta! Since she is sitting, I placed her on a cake pedestal. I thought it would be a fun way to show her off. I use Galvanized Metallic paper for the pedestal. The flag banners were cut from the DSP so that they would match the other elements. A scattering of sequins adds some birthday festiveness to the card!

My Secret Garden Card

My Secret Garden Design Team Card — My Secret Garden Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Secret Garden Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. This pretty digital stamp is called Sweet Annabelle. She is perfect for Mother’s Day, a birthday, thinking of you and so many other card occasions!

I love the Secret Garden Paper that I have in my stash and have been keeping it for a special card. So, I decided to use it for my card and coloured Annabelle with my Copic Markers in softs pinks, blues and purples to match. I added Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to the dots on her apron and on her hair bow for a little bit of sparkle.

For the card base, I embossed a die cut piece of Highland Heather with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder to give Annabelle a subtle floral backdrop. From that I layered the leaves so that they are wrapped around the tag that came with the paper pad. A few hydrangeas made with a punch tie in the colours of my colouring. For the pearl flower centres, I coloured them with my Y17 Copic markers to match the flowers in her basket.
