Copic Marker Cards - Stamp With Laurie

Always Be A Mermaid Card

March 3, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Always Be A Mermaid Card using the stamp called ‘Mermaid’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. I love this sweet mermaid and her little friends!

For my card, I knew that I wanted to create a slim line card for her with a pretty watery background! I coloured her with my Copic markers. I especially had fun with her tail and used two different colour combinations to give it a mermaid look. And then, I added Stickles since you know mermaids have sparkly tails! Once I coloured her and her friends, I fussy cut them out.

For my water, I pulled out my Distress Oxides and worked from light in the centre (Peacock Feathers and Mermaid Lagoon) where I wanted to highlight her to the darkest at the edges (Salty Ocean and Broken China). Once I did that, I splattered water on the panel and removed the water droplets with a paper towel to give some dimension. Next, I splattered the panel with the Frost White shimmer paint and let everything dry.

Some dies from my stash, a scattering of clear dew drops, and real shells are added to finish my watery scene.

My Design Team Card — My Winter Sweethearts Design Team Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Winter Sweethearts Card as my last Guest Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. I am so excited that I have been asked to become a permanent Design Team Member with them starting in March! Yippee!

For my card, I used Winter Sweethearts and coloured them with my Copic markers to match my paper in purples and taupes. I coloured the girl in purples since it is one of my favourite colours. I coloured the boy with matching hat/jeans and boots/sweater since my hubby is all about matchy-matchy! LOL! Wouldn’t they make a great Valentine, Anniversary, Christmas, anything love card, but I made them my winter sweethearts!

Level Up Birthday Card

February 25, 2021 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Level Up Birthday Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls using Build Your Own Nest (Gamers). It comes with 3 digital images including a gamer boy, a gamer girl and a game console/games.

This set of digital stamps is perfect to create your own “room” using the Build Your Own Nest (Family Room). For my card, I decided that I wanted to highlight these cute gamers and their game box and games. So, I created a slim line card just for them.

I coloured them with my Copic markers in bright primary colours to match the paper that I picked. The Saved the Day paper has comic book noises like splat, boom, bam, etc. which I thought was perfect noises for video games, especially if they are playing super heroes! The game controller dies from My Favorite Things definitely had to be added to my card. I added glossy accents to the buttons on my controller to give them dimension. I had such a hard time choosing the sentiment for my card but decided on Level Up (Happy Birthday). Such a great sentiment for my card!

Dance for Joy Card

February 18, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Dance for Joy Card using the digital PNG stamp called ‘Ballerina Princess’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios as my Design Team Inspiration. Don’t you love this sweet little girl who just loves to dance!

For my card, I knew that I wanted to create a really girly card with soft pinks, blues and yellows. So, the 5^thAvenue Paper was perfect for my card! Once I coloured her with my Copic markers, I added glitter to her top, flowers in her hair and the star on her wand with a Clear Gelly Roll Pen.

I created a frame for my little Ballerina like she was hung on a wall in a place of honour. I used the Hydrangea Punch to build my flowers to match my colours and added a pearl in the centre since pearls are very girly! The flag banner was die cut from the 5^th Avenue Paper Pad and flanked by my flowers. Of course you have to have pink ballerina shoes for a ballerina! The sentiment sums up my card perfectly!

You Slay Me Valentine Card

February 16, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Now that Valentine’s Day is over, I can share with you my You Slay Me Valentine Card that I gave to my Hubby. My Hubby loves anything that involves history and Vikings. He even has a Viking costume including a sword with scabbard for Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) events and Halloween. In addition to that, we are currently re-watching the Vikings TV Series. When I saw that Stamp Anniething’s January release was Vikings, I just had to get the whole release! There are three Vikings in it. I used two of them on this card and the third is on another card that I will share later.

Details of My Card

I coloured both of these cuties with my Copic markers in the colours of the main characters in the Vikings TV Series…all blonde hair and natural tones, other than Siv’s skirt to tie in my red hearts that I wanted to use. Gale comes with a number of different weapons that you can swap out depending on what you want. I went with the axe and added Glossy Accents to the metal part to make it look like polished steel. I created my two-tone shield with a number of circle dies of varying width. My Hubby informed me that Vikings preferred coloured shields when I was colouring Torin below.

My Colouring of Torin, The Third Viking in the Release

I love the sentiment “You slay me” that comes with Gale. Perfect pun for my Hubby’s Valentine card! It fitted nicely on the tag that I cut out of the matching paper. I added some twine and a die cut heart to add some visual interest to it. Some hearts and a couple of red rhinestones add a bit of pop in colour to my card.

My note to my Hubby said that I will be his Lagertha to his Ragnar always!

My Penguin Love Valentine Card

February 13, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s Laurie here! I am so excited to be joining Conie Fong Art & Design as a Guest Design Team Member again for February with my My Penguin Love Valentine Card! For my February GDT card, I am using 2 different stamps. The top penguin is called Penguin Heartstrings bottom penguin is called Penguin Bundle of Love. Aren’t they just the cutest!

I coloured both of these stamps with my Copic markers in the traditional Valentine colours of pink and red. I then, decided that I wanted both of them on the same card. So, I went with a slimline card with lots of hearts for Valentine’s Day! For the sentiment, I used markers to colour just the part of the stamp that I wanted and then “huffed” (technical term lol) on it to activate the ink. For a bit of sparkle, I added glossy accents to the penguins’ beaks, feet and the heart that the Penguin Bundle of Love is holding. I also added Star Dust Stickles to the heartstrings of the other penguin. One final touch is a scattering of Red Rhinestones.

Queen of Valentines Card

February 11, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Queen of Valentines Card using the digital version of Queen of Hearts Ellie by Paper Nest Dolls. This cute stamp come in both a rubber and a digital version. There is also a Wonderland Bundle that consists of Queen of Hearts Ellie, Emma in Wonderland, Mad Hatter Avery and Mischievous Cat. Love this Bundle! You can also buy them individually. I hope to colour more of them in the future!

For, my card, I knew that I wanted to make a Valentine’s card with this stamp. Something a little different. Hence the Queen of Valentines!

I coloured sweet Ellie with my Copic markers and added Glossy Accents and Stardust Stickles in certain places to make her sparkle. The Down the Rabbit Hole paper was perfect for my card with all the crowns! I have had this Hearts Border Die forever and thought it reminded me of the Queen’s garden of roses in the book, but with hearts instead. I had fun creating my playing cards using a die from the Stamp Anniething, but it is easy enough to create them using other rectangle and heart dies. Of course, you have to have a Queen of Hearts playing card along with an Ace of Hearts and the “back” of a third card using the Valentine Paper with all the Valentine words. A die cut heart, white rick-rack, red/white twine, red rhinestones and a card charm tie this theme all together!

Toss A Coin Birthday Card

February 6, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Toss A Coin Birthday Card! Today is a good friend’s birthday and I thought the bard from the Monster Hunter Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps would be perfect for him! He is the best bard role player ever! Plus loves the Witcher TV show!

I coloured the whole Monster gang with my Copic markers for a colouring challenge a while ago. But I knew that I wanted to give Jonathan the bard guy for his birthday. I love the sentiment “Toss a coin for your birthday”! The Enchanted Forest Graphic 45 Paper gave my card the fantasy feel that I was looking for, and of course, you have to have music paper and notes for a bard!

Now, I just need to get the other characters onto a card as well!

I Love You Card

February 4, 2021 Leave a comment

My Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my I Love You Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using the cute ‘Bunny Balloons’ Digital Stamp.

Valentine’s Day is coming up and this digital stamp is a quick colour if you still need to make some card for your little ones. This stamp reminds me of the Valentine cards that I use to get as a child with the sweet animals on them! Love that the bunny is giving his tweet friend a bouquet of balloons!

I coloured this stamp with my Copic markers and decided that I wanted the heart balloons to pop. So, I made them solid with the heart highlights matching the other balloons. I then added glossy accents to make them shine. The bunny was coloured with a light hand of grays to give him a white appearance. The little bird was coloured blue to match the paper and the give a pop of a different colour. The Craft Tape I found in my stash was perfect bringing in the pinks, red and blues. The two Layered Valentine Accents gave the card some dimension. I added the arrow through the heart just because you just need an arrow through a heart for a Valentine’s card! A scattering of red rhinestones adds a bit more sparkle!

Sending Love Treat Box

January 28, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Sending Love Treat Box for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls using Emma with Heart Balloon.

Time for something a little different than a card! Do you give your Sweetie treats for Valentine’s Day? If you do, you might like to make a treat box for them.

The Details of My Treat Box

Isn’t the digital stamp Emma with Heart Balloon so sweet! Perfect for my Valentine Treat Box! I coloured her with my Copic Markers and added Glossy Accents to her balloons and Stardust Stickles to the heart on her top.

For my box, I used a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box from Stampin’ Up! This made a perfect box for holding treats and at the same time easy to assemble. I had fun decorating my box with the super cute Lovebugs paper by Doodlebug! Of course, I had to cover all sides of my box with it including the back!

On the paper, there are some sweet envelopes, so I used a die to cut some mini envelopes in different papers and placed felt heart stickers emerging from them, like my love was being sent in the mail! I place one on the cover and two inside.

For a Valentine box, you need lots of hearts and that is where the doily heart die with the love die cut on it and the cluster of hearts die came in handy. For my belly band, I used ribbon that has Happy Valentine’s Day on it, and I tied into a pretty bow.

Of course, you have to decorate the inside of the box and place lots of treats in it! Again, I used the Lovebugs paper and cut one of the tags out and popped it up on more of the cute paper! Love the sentiment:

“Loved you yesterday
love you still
always have
always will”

My last two envelopes with the hearts flank the sentiment.

Some finishing touches of rhinestones and Clear Wink of Stella on the hearts on the spine add a bit of sparkle to my project.

My True Love Card

January 21, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with My True Love Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using the sweet ‘Flowers for You’ Digital Stamp. This stamp is perfect for that special someone on Valentine’s Day!

I love it when I receive flowers from my Hubby and this stamp reminds me of those wonderful moments! So, I coloured with my Copic Markers the couple to look like us. I created a bouquet that mimics the bouquet that the boy is giving the girl, but I added some ribbon, linen thread and a heart trinket all mounted on a filigree die cut heart. For the Detailed Hearts Die cut, I cut it in half and then offset it in opposite corners. A heart paper clip and red rhinestones along with Clear Gelly Roll Pen on the hearts and Clear Wink of Stella on the large heart add a bit of sparkle and whimsy. I angled my coloured focal point so that you could see the paper beneath that says My True Love. That is what my card is all about.

Molly’s Valentine Card

January 19, 2021 Leave a comment

My Guest Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am so excited to be joining Conie Fong Art & Design as a Guest Design Team Member again for January! For my first GDT card for January, I created Molly’s Valentine Card using Molly’s Basket of Love – with headband. This stamp comes in a set of three digital stamps including Molly’s Basket of Love and Molly Fairy.

I have been wanting to colour this sweet image for a while and thought that with Valentine’s Day next month, she would be perfect! Since she is a Valentine card, I coloured her with my Copic markers in pinks, reds and browns to match my paper. I pulled out my Be Mine Stitched Dies for the large heart and the cluster of smaller ones. For embellishments, I went into my stash of Stampin’ Up! trinkets for the key and heart lock and tied them with red/pink/white twine to a wooden heart. The twine ends were shaped into a heart since you can never have too many hearts on a Valentine card! I just love the ribbon with its soft curves and lacey details. A scattering of red rhinestones and Clear Wink of Stella on all of Molly’s hearts and the bow on her basket, add a bit of sparkle.

Will You be my Valentine?

January 14, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Will You Be My Valentine? Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. Have you started your Valentine cards yet?

For my card, I used the sweet Emma with Panda. Even though this digital stamp isn’t a Valentine image, I thought that Emma made the perfect Valentine card with her panda! Wouldn’t you love to receive a panda like hers as a Valentine gift?

The Details of My Card

It was so much fun colouring Emma and her panda with my Copic markers! I decided to colour them red, white and black/gray to match the papers that I had picked out. Even though they are not Valentine papers, I wanted red/white dots to echo her shirt and the Magical Adventures paper was perfect for that! The Breeze Papers gave the card a bit of elegance while bringing in the white/black/gray to match everything else.

Since this is my Valentine’s card, I included hearts with the large white doily and the heart die from Penny Black. I used the White Gelly Roll Pen on the dots on her shirt. The Clear Wink of Stella is on her bow and shoes. The Black Gelly Roll Pen was used to give the Panda dimension in his eyes. The red and white jewel felt flowers were found in the dollar area of my local Michaels Arts & Crafts store.

Don’t you just love the Panda button with his glittery face! I had to make sure that the bow from my die was under him…like unwrapping a present! The Real Red Ruched Ribbon adds a nice touch of red behind the focal point. A couple of red and clear rhinestones add a bit of sparkle! Just goes to show you that you can make a Valentine card out of things that are not necessarily all Valentine!
