Happy Canada Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian peeps! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my mini slimline Happy Canada Day Card using Red, White & Pooh! Digital Stamp by Polka Dot Orchard.

The Details of My Card

I’m a big fan of Winnie the Pooh and when I saw this stamp, I couldn’t resist buying it and colouring it with my Copic markers on Canada Day!

I don’t have a lot of Canadian papers and embellishments, but the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper was perfect since it has a design with fireworks! The Canadian flag and Eh! Maple leaf are toppers for food that I repurpose for my card. I used my Gelly Roll Pen and a red rhinestone to add some sparkle to Piglet’s sparkler. A scattering of more red rhinestones tie in the Canadian theme.

My Groovy Love Card

My Groovy Love Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Groovy Love Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Hippie Avery. There are ten dolls in the Decade Collection that come in both rubber and digital stamps. You can find all the digital versions here.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I coloured Avery with my Copic markers to match my Seventies paper! Do you remember when chocolate brown and orange were in? Lol! I just had to give Avery red hair to go with my card!

I love the juxtaposition of the paper with circles and the square retro panel die floating on top. The paper pack included a sheet of sentiments, and I thought the “Let your Love grow tall” matched my card in colours and theme.

The finishing touch was a scattering of rhinestones that I coloured with my Copic markers to match Avery.

My Viking Father’s Day Card

A Father's Day card with a viking father and son
My Viking’s Father’s Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Viking Father’s Day Card for my Design Team Inspiration for Paper Nest Dolls using the Viking Bundle. This bundle has three characters and two animals – Viking Andrew (with and without the mustache ties), Viking Owen, Viking Dragon, and Viking Boar. I love this bundle and made another card using just Viking Andrew without the mustache ties. I will include a link to it at the end of this post.

The Details of My Card

I thought using Viking Andrew and Viking Owen together would make a perfect Father’s Day card! I had so much fun colouring with my Copic markers this brawny guy and his son in appropriate Viking colours! Their colouring even matches another card called My Let’s Go A-Viking Card that I made for Paper Nest Dolls for their New Year’s Day Event. Wouldn’t all three make a great family card!

For my card, I kept it simple simple to make the stamps stand out. I used the High Seas Embossing Folder to emboss the waves on Night of Navy card stock. This was placed on a Mossy Meadow card base. Next, I used a frame with Viking imagery that came with the digital papers for the perfect backdrop for my father and son! My simple sentiment was layered on a scrap of the Cozy Winter paper. This paper pack is not just for winter but has all-purpose patterns as well. The finishing touch was the Viking chipboard ship and some black matte dots.

My Orchid Beauty Birthday Wishes

Birthday Card with a Girl with Orchids in her hair
My Orchid Beauty Birthday Wishes

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Orchid Beauty Birthday Wishes as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Alanna. Don’t you just love that serene look she has!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to use some pretty papers with pastel colours from The Paper Boutique. So, I coloured with my Copic markers Alanna to match them. That blue is so pretty that I had to give her eyeshadow to match her dress!

I went with several die cuts like the leafy vine, the delicate pink frame, and the butterflies to decorate my card. The sentiment is from a matching paper pad and went perfectly with my colours. A scattering of gems and a gem in the centre of each butterfly added some sparkle. A finishing touch was Wink of Stella on the orchids. Such a beautiful image!

My Grease Lightning Card

My Grease Lightning Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Grease Lightning Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Greaser Owen and Decade Collection Poodle Skirt Emma. There are ten dolls in the Decade Collection that come in both rubber and digital stamps. You can find all the digital versions here.

Decade Doll Collection by Paper Nest Dolls
Decade Doll Collection by Paper Nest Dolls

The Details of My Card

When I saw these two stamps, I knew that I had to create a card with them both on it! I had a lot of fun colouring them with my Copic markers! I even added Glossy Accents to the milkshake glass and Emma’s glasses.

For my card, I decided to create a 50s diner vibe using the most perfect paper with milk shakes, records, and black/white tiles that I found on Amazon.

I heat embossed with black embossing powder the record from the For the Record Stamp Set twice. Once on gray card stock and once on red card stock. Then, using several circle dies, I die cut the pieces out. I couldn’t resist using the red cardstock for the heart part in the centre of the record! And the grooves really show up well with the black embossing on the gray card stock. Don’t you love the sentiments, especially the puny one, that come with the stamp set!

Isn’t the car die so fun! I thought it would suit my 50’s vibe as an homage to Grease Lightning from the movie Grease. The door even opens. So, I had Owen’s leg halfway in almost like he was getting out of the card.

A red rhinestone and several black dot embellishments tie into my colour scheme.

My Flowers for You Card

My Flowers for You Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Flowers For You Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Dragon Bouquet and Sentiment Bundle. This stamp is so versatile and can be used for so many occasions! It includes 6 images and comes in PNG or JPG:

  • Dragon Bouquet
  • Thinking Of You Sentiment
  • Have A Beautiful Day
  • Hello Friend
  • Just Because
  • Flowers For You Sentiment

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided on the MME paper since I love the rustic wood texture and the collage on the paper! There is a sentiment on it under his feet, “start every day with a smile”. I thought this was such a sweet sentiment and would bring a smile to the recipient

From there, I picked out my Copic marker colours from the paper to colour my cute dragon and the bouquet. I also coloured some extra flowers that you get in the bundle in the colours I used for my bouquet. The sentiment from the bundle was die cut into a banner and layered with the coloured flowers and another banner below.

For embellishments, I used brass butterflies, clear epoxy dew drops and Clear Wink of Stella on the flowers.

Good Grief! It’s Your Birthday!

Good Grief! It’s Your Birthday!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Good Grief! It’s Your Birthday Card using The Great Box Limited Edition Box by Kindred Stamps! It’s my brother’s birthday today. I remember us watching the antics that the Charlie Brown Gang got up to in the cartoons. 

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a scene, but to fit all my characters, I went with a fun pop out card.

My inspiration was where they all go on stage and start dancing! I always loved that part! So, I used some wood Designer Series Paper to create the floor to my stage.

Once I coloured with my Copic markers my characters, I built my stage. The card folds out like a book, so you see more characters as it unfolds until you have it fully open.

For most of my card I used The Great Box Limited Edition Box. Don’t you love the doghouse with Snoopy and Woodstock dancing around the sentiment! The Charlie Brown chevron pattern paper was perfect for the backdrop of my card! Almost like curtains to the stage.

My Welcome Spring! Card

Card with girl holding a daffodil
My Welcome Spring! Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I was so excited to present My Welcome Spring! Card at the Paper Nest Dolls Spring Coloring Retreat (Online) recently using Lulu with Daffodil!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought a fun fold card would be something different than a regular card. So, I created a side easel card base! I love how it folds up to display part of the card front!

We had a lot of fun colouring Lulu with our Copic markers at the Retreat. The attendees learned how to add texture to the daffodil to make it pop!

The beautiful papers from the Paper Boutique were perfect for the theme since they had daffodil and tulips on them!

I couldn’t resist using the Daffodil Dies from Stampin’ Up! in the background  to set off Lulu!

Flintstone's Family Card
Yabba Dabba Doo Time Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Yabba Dabba Doo Time Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the new digital Stone Age Family Set. This bundle comes with eight stamps in either digital or rubber stamps.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I wanted to fit the whole family onto one card. So, I decided to create a Tri-Fold card where a continual scene unfolds on the front of the card, but when folded down, it becomes an A2 card.

Tri-Fold Card
Tri-Fold Card

I created a sidewalk for my characters to stand on by using a stencil, ink, and a blending brush. Once that was done, I used one of the Large Slimline Dies to create my straight lines and then cut the pieces down accordingly. Some hills and grass in different greens gave interest behind the characters. A couple of palm trees added to my scene.

A Groovy Road Trip Card

A Groovy Road Trip Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing A Groovy Road Trip Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Flower Power Ellie. There are ten dolls in the Decade Collection that come in both rubber and digital stamps. You can find all the digital versions here.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I coloured Ellie with my Copic markers to match my Seventies paper and her retro bus! This paper was perfect for my card with the musical revolution icons since Ellie has her dancing boots on and is off to Woodstock!

Of course, if Ellie is having a road trip, she needs a retro bus. This Retro Bus Kit comes with dies to build a mini booklet in the shape of a retro bus, but I decided to use it for my card. So, I just trimmed the three ring holes off the back piece. I had a ton of fun decorating my bus with the matching paper, flowers, peace symbol, windshield wipers, Road Trip die and so on. I even used a piece of a window sheet for the windows. For the metal parts, I brushed on some iron wax to give them a metal look.

The finishing touches were some wooden musical notes to match my theme and a couple of rhinestone coloured to match my card.

My Give Peace a Chance Card

Card with a Hippie Girl
My Give Peace a Chance Card Closed

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Give Peace a Chance Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the new release Decade Collection Hippie Ellie. With everything going on in the world right now, I thought this was a very appropriate card for the times!

The Details of My Card

I had a lot of fun colouring Hippie Ellie with my Copic markers! Don’t you just love her jeans with the patches and her suede fringe vest! She is such a groovy hipster!

For my card, I found this perfect paper that had a Seventies theme! I loved it so much that I wanted to use a whole sheet for my card front! So, I used a fun fold called a Z-Fold Card for the card base, but I reversed it into a backwards Z. I wanted the love bug to show on the front with Ellie when the card is closed. This type of card folds up to a regular A2 card but allows for lots of room to decorate! It also is neat how you open it, and the paper continually keeps going!

Since the paper was so detailed, I only used a few dies to dress it up such as the Love, Peace, daisies, and peace sign. They were from the Retro Bus by Elizabeth Craft Designs. I bought this set planning to use them for the Decade Dolls and they were perfect for Hippie Ellie! A couple of sequins and glimmery dots for the flower centres was all the embellishments this card needed.

Measurements

Card Base:  5 ½” x 8 ½”, score at 4 ¼” and 2 1/8”.  Cut the Seventies 6” x 6” paper to 5 ¼” tall, then cut at 2” and 4:”. You could leave the last panel for your sentiment, but I decided to add a fourth panel using a 2” piece of floral rice paper as a background for my coloured stamp.

My Happy Mother’s Day Card

My Happy Mother’s Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Happy Mother’s Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Bella With Rose.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought Bella With Rose would make a perfect Mother’s Day Card! She is such a cutie and Mother’s Day is only a few weeks away!

I decided to go with soft pastel colours to match the beautiful Spring papers from The Paper Boutique. The Stitched with Love Paper Pad matched this colour scheme well and it had purple roses that I used for inspiration to colour my rose.

To me nothing says Mother’s Day like a beautiful doily and this one had roses on it. Perfect for my rose theme and to center my focal point!

I have been wanting to use the beautiful rose die from Paper Roses for a while and thought this was ideal for my card!

A scattering of pink pearls and butterflies to match my paper completed my card.

My Easter Basket

An Easter Basket
My Easter Basket

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Easter Basket using Bunny Emma by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration. Since Easter is this weekend, I thought an Easter basket would be fun with this cutie!

The Details of My Basket

For my basket, I picked out this pretty paper in soft Easter colours of pinks and purples. From that I pulled my Copic colour palette to colour Bunny Emma. The basket is really a purse die, but by using one handle instead of two, it transforms into a basket! I stamped the sentiment onto the cute, stitched pocket and added a die cut button from the paper.

Of course, I just had to decorate the back of the basket with another pocket and button. The pink is from the other side of the pretty floral paper. So, it all goes together beautifully. The finishing touch are a few matching ribbons to balance out Bunny Emma.

All that is left is to fill your basket with Easter grass and chocolates!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I had so much fun colouring up this cutie with my Copic markers and using Easter colours on his egg.

The paper was the perfect choice since it had Easter eggs on one and Easter bunnies on the other. Love Doodlebug for their bright colours! The ribbon also has an Easter theme with cute bunnies on it.

I have had these two Easter eggs die cuts forever and thought this would be a perfect time to use them by layering them on the card. 

The sentiment is from Easter Bunny Gnome and Sentiment Bundle. I just snipped them apart to fit my space. A couple of die cut flowers highlight the sentiment.

I coloured my pearls and rhinestone in matching colours. A row of rhinestones on the top die cut egg add some dimension and sparkle. Clear Wink of Stella on his egg and flower add a little more sparkle.

My Easter Greetings Card

My Easter Greetings Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Easter is just around the corner! So, I am sharing My Easter Greetings Card as my Design Team Inspiration for Conie Fong Art & Design using Easter Bunny Gnome and Sentiment Bundle. This cutie comes with 8 digital stamps including:

Easter Bunny Gnome PNG
Easter Bunny Gnome – No Bowtie PNG
Bunny V1 PNG
Easter Bunny Gnome With Background PNG
Easter Bunny Gnome With Background – No Bowtie PNG
Bunny V2 PNG
Easter Greetings Sentiment PNG
Egg PNG

So many choices, but in the end, I used Easter Bunny Gnome With Background – No Bowtie.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to colour the gnome’s outfit in Easter colours of purple and blue/green. For the trim on his hat, I did some colouring called stumbling. It is something I learned recently and thought it would look neat for his trim. Stumbling is where you do squiggles in different colours building it up to create dimension.

I thought I would create a scene since these cuties came with a background. So, once I finished colouring everything, I pulled out my Krafty Basics Stencil and sponge some clouds in the sky. A couple of die cut clouds added some dimension. I layered the sentiment onto a cloud to add some visual interest. A scattering of glitter dots helped tie in my colour scheme.
