Copic Marker Cards - Stamp With Laurie

Hello Fall Design Team Card

September 10, 2020 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Hello Fall Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her sweet Fall Dance Digital Stamp. With the last long weekend having just passed and children starting back to school, Autumn is just around the corner in Canada. I love the cooler temperatures and the changing colour of the leaves! Such a beautiful time of year! Bet you can guess that it’s my favourite season of the year!

For my card, I used autumnal colours of reds, greens, oranges, yellows and browns that I pulled from the pattern paper. The die cut and embossed leaves match the colours in the scene that I created perfectly! One technique that I used for the fallen leaves is to use the side of my Copic marker to create their shape. It’s amazing how much they look like leaves when you do this, but it’s such an easy technique! I learned this technique from the March 2020 Marker Class “Mourning Fairy” with Sweet Sentiment. I love the wooden picket fence peeking out from behind the focal point! A couple of embellishment including the wooden banner element and the Linen Thread holding the pinecone all tie together the Autumn theme of my card.

My Sweet Wishes Birthday Card

September 3, 2020 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Sweet Wishes Birthday Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. This cute digital stamp is called Baker Ellie Digital Stamp. I coloured her with my Copic Markers to look like me since this card was for a friend who is an amazing baker. I figured this was as close to me baking her a cake as was possible! Lol!

Mary, my friend, makes the best cakes and cake pops! They are just to die for! So, I knew that I wanted a Designer Series Paper that had lots of cakes on it. And of course, you need all the accoutrements for baking like a whisk, a rolling pin and an icing bag! Don’t you just love the little muffin pan charm with the paper flowers surrounding it!

My Happy Hanukkah Card

August 27, 2020 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Happy Hanukkah Card! Did you see the cute new release by Paper Nest Dolls called Hanukkah Set? It comes with Mini Owen with Torah, Mini Emma with Challah, a menorah, a dreidel and the Star of David. I was so happy to see such cute Hanukkah images! They are so hard to find.

We have friends who have two little boys that I send cards to every year. So, I knew that I wanted to colour up two of the boys to represent them for my Happy Hanukkah Card. I can definitely see the younger one wanting a Torah scroll just like his big brother’s one! Lol!

I love the elegant combination of silver and blue together. So, I made them my colour scheme for my card with lots of silver accents! Since I didn’t have any Hanukkah paper, I created my own paper using a retired Stampin’ Up! stamp that I already had. It is quite striking with the shimmery silver Delicata ink on the Night of Navy card stock. For the center piece with the Menorah and Star of David, I created a sponged background of Night of Navy and Balmy Blue ink. I then splattered water and Silver Wink of Stella to add texture to it.

My Bunny Love Design Team Card

August 20, 2020 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Bunny Love Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her cute Girl & Bunny Digital Stamp. Isn’t this the sweetest image! I had a lot of fun colouring her with my Copic Markers! I love how her whole world is her stuffed bunny! As a child, have you ever loved your stuffie so much? 💕 So, I wanted to create a card with lots of hearts that shows that love. It’s amazing when you are young, how your stuffies really inspire creativity, a sense of security and love! You can tell them anything! When I was little, I had a stuffie called Horse, even though he was a dog (lol…he was from a rocking horse). He was as big as me and went everywhere that I went.

My Merry & Bright Christmas Card

My Merry & Bright Card Using Holiday Gifts Avery from Paper Nest Dolls

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Do you ever create non-traditional coloured Christmas cards? I couldn’t resist colouring the sweet Holiday Gifts Avery Digital Stamp in non-traditional pinks and purples for My Merry & Bright Christmas Card. Wouldn’t this stamp in these colours be a great winter birthday too! For this card, I added lots of bling with the glimmer paper snowflakes and snow bank and a ton of rhinestones. I always thought you can never have too much bling for a Christmas card! The sentiment pieces from the Doodlebug Chit Chat were a perfect complement to the card and don’t you just love the wooden present accent.

Woodland Camping Fun

My Camping Fun Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios — My Woodland Camping Fun Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Woodland Camping Fun Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her cute Woodland Camping Digital Stamp. Isn’t this the sweetest image! I had a lot of fun colouring it with my Copic Markers! I decided to create a day time scene instead of a night time one to show you the versatility of the stamp.

Where marshmallows are involved, I love to eat them anytime! On a scale of 1 to 10, how do you like your marshmallows toasted? I love mine black on the outside and gooey melty on the inside like #9! Yum!

To make the fluffy clouds in the sky, I first masked the tent and animals with a Post-it Note. I then sponged Balmy Blue ink with a Picket Fences Blender Brush on the Krafty Scenery Stencil by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps. By brushing the ink on the stencil in different angles, the clouds fill the sky.

I love the sentiment from the Summer Adventure Paper Pad, “Like campfires and marshmallows, we are better TOGETHER!”! It sums up this card perfectly with the little boy and his furry friends!

Peace on Earth

July 28, 2020 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I had so much fun creating my Peace on Earth Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls for the Shop@Home Christmas in July Expo that was on the weekend. This sweet stamp is called Holiday Friends. I went with a shabby chic distressed look using my distressing tool on all the papers. To add to this look, I also added Shabby White Embossing Enamel for sparkle and snow. I used my Marvy Snow Marker to create the puffed-up snow. My handmade poinsettias tie in the red colour of her dress and hat! Hope you like my PND Christmas in July card!

Chasing Butterflies

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Chasing Butterflies Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her sweet Chasing Butterflies Digital Stamp. I had a lot of fun creating this scene with all the wonderful layers and die cuts that make it up! There was a lot of dimensionals used to get the scene just the way I wanted. The bright colours of the card stock and Doodlebug Paper were perfect for such a happy carefree image! I can just see her running through the grass trying to catch a butterfly!

My Christmas Cookies Design Team Card

July 23, 2020 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Christmas Cookies Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using the Christmas Baking Digital Stamp. One of my fondest memories of when I was little was making Christmas cookies with my mom. I loved to decorate them and, of course, eat them! I still make cookies each year but have limited them to only a few favourites. Otherwise, my waist wouldn’t like me! LOL!

This sweet image was so fun to colour with my Copic Markers and I thought the cookie cutter embellishments were perfect for my card! Doesn’t the Doodlebug paper with the holly on it look like the little girl’s apron! And of course, I had to have gingerbread people holding the sentiment which suites the card to a Christmas star!

Christmas in July

July 15, 2020 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Christmas in July Design Team Cards for Paper Nest Dolls! You get two cards for the price of one in this post! I love making cards for Christmas in July! It’s a good way for me to get a head start on all the Christmas cards that I make each year and what better way than with these cuties! Who else loves making cards for Christmas in July?

————————–

For the first card, I used the adorable Elf Sewing Teddy Digital Stamp. I couldn’t resist using a thimble, scissors and bobbin for sewing embellishments. And check out that sweet bear button! I used Stitched Rectangle Dies, a stitched felt star…even the paper has stitches on it! Do you see a theme here? Lol! I added some sparkle with the red rhinestones and White Baker’s Twine with red metallic thread.

————————–

For my next card. I used Elf Painting Train Digital Stamp. Such a cute stamp with his toy train and cars! He was a lot of fun to match my colouring of the other elf! Of course, all of Santa’s Elves have to have the same uniform! I thought the train and train cars from the All Aboard Die Set from Local King Rubber Stamp were perfect for the card! Of course, you need stars and black rhinestones to decorate the train! I also added a copper snowflake with jingle bells and the same White Baker’s Twine with red metallic thread.

My Storytime! Card using Storytime by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studio — My Storytime Design Team Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Storytime Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using their Storytime Digital Stamp. This is my first card as a new Design Team Member for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios! I’m so excited to join such a talented team!

I love this sweet image with all the cute forest friends gathered around to listen to a story! The panels to the left are all the wonderful stories they are reading. Once Upon a Time…there was a ranger who confronted a dragon guarding his hoard. Once Upon a Time…there was a knight on a chivalrous quest. Or, maybe they are reading Jack and the Beanstalk as the vine travels to the clouds! This image just sparks my imagination! The sentiment is from a Kraftin Kimmie Stamp that I thought was perfect for these little forest friends! “We’ll be friends forever…the end!”

Life is a Mermaid!

July 2, 2020 Leave a comment

It’s Laurie here with my Life is a Mermaid! Design Team Card using the Mermaid Set from Paper Nest Dolls! I have been wanting to create a Bendi Card forever and thought it would create a perfect scene for these cuties! I had so much fun creating this card! So, without further ado, here is my very first ever Bendi Card!

Top View of My Life is a Mermaid Bendi Card

I love all the layers that this type of card creates! Here is a top view showing those layers.

My Life is a Mermaid Bendi Card Flat for Mailing

What is great about a Bendi card is that it folds flat so that you can mail it. When it is flat, and you can really see all the layers and the cute mermaids poking out between them.
