Easter - Stamp With Laurie

Happiness is Homegrown Card

April 12, 2024 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Spring has finally arrived here! So, I am sharing my Happiness is Homegrown Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Little Chick Emma.

The Details of My Happiness is Homegrown Card

Don’t you just love Emma in her patchwork dress! So, sweet! I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers in Spring colours to match my papers.

For my card, I decided to use the Simple Stories paper since it had a farm theme, and I loved the soft colours! I had some scraps with chickens left over from a previous project, but not a lot. So, I created two squares and placed them in opposite corners on the blue/green polka dotted card base. Great way to use scraps!

Next, I added a die cut white fence to add some interest to the background.

The sentiment and banner were from the matching Simple Stories Bits & Pieces. The needlepoint look was perfect for Emma with her patchwork dress! An adhesive-backed pink heart on the banner mirrored the pinks in Emma’s dress.

Finally, for embellishments, I added more adhesive-backed hearts and flowers in addition to Star Dust Stickles to the hearts on Emma’s dress.

My Happy Easter Tag

March 29, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Who’s ready for Easter? There is always time for one last Easter tag! So, I am sharing My Happy Easter Tag as my Design Team Inspiration for Paper Nest Dolls using Egg Coloring Lulu.

The Details of My Happy Easter Tag

I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers in Easter colours to match my Easter paper and card stock.

For my tag, I decided to use several Easter dies including a pink Easter Egg and the reverse Happy Easter words. I also added a purple floral border behind Lulu to make her pop and give some visual interest behind her. I used paper snips to trim the edges of the border piece to fit my round corners of my tag.

Next, I went with a Polka Dot Tulle ribbon since it reminded me of Easter tulle. The Happy Easter ribbon in purple was a perfect colour for the theme of my card! I used some Bermuda Bay Baker’s Twine to tie this all together.

Finally, to add some sparkle, I used Star Dust Stickles on Lulu’s heart on her smock and Wink of Stella on her egg. As well, a scattering of Glossy Dots that matched my colour scheme were placed around the sentiment.

My Easter Egg Hunt Card

Easter Egg Hunt Card - and Easter card with a girl collecting Easter eggs — My Easter Egg Hunt Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Easter is just around the corner. So, I am sharing My Easter Egg Hunt Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Lulu with Easter Basket.

The Details of My Easter Egg Hunt Card

I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers in Easter colours to match my Easter paper. I just love these soft colours!

For my card, I decided to use the gorgeous Tulip Dies as a backdrop for Lulu. I just bought these dies and was eager to use them! So, I went with white card stock and a soft pink that has some texture on it so as not to detract from Lulu. The sentiment “Easter Egg Hunt” was from the Welcome Easter Paper Pad and perfect for my theme.

To decorate my card, I added die cut Easter eggs that matched the colours of Lulu’s eggs in her basket. Next, I added several Brass Butterflies floating from the focal point.

Finally, to add some sparkle, I used Wink of Stella on Lulu’s eggs, hair bow and basket bow.

My Rainy-Day Easter Cards

Two Easter cards. One with a bunny and the other with a turtle on a bridge — My Rainy-Day Easter Cards

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Rainy-Day Easter Cards using the Playing in the Rain Bundle by Stampin’ Up! This Bundle includes the Rain Stamp Set and the Playing in the Rain Dies.

The Details of My Cards

For my card, I decided to use the Playing in the Rain Dies to cut out the different animals from the DSP figuring you could use either the rabbit or the turtle for an Easter card. I love the glossy coating on this DSP. It adds a nice shine to the animals to make them stand out! The floral piece really makes the animals pop and creates a fun field of flowers behind them.

The Fabulous Frames Dies created a perfect vignette for my scene with the bridge, cloud and the grasses popping out of the frame!

To add a bit of interest to the Balmy Blue mat, I embossed it with the Raindrops Embossing Folder.

The clouds were stamped in Balmy Blue, and die cut out. I then used the different sizes for my cards.

The sentiment was stamped in Soft Suede and punched out with the Double Oval Punch. The Old Olive scallop mat was punched from the same punch. I love that you get two punches for one!

I couldn’t resist using the Dragonfly Trinkets to add a bit of whimsy to my card!

My Hoppy Easter Card

An Easter Card with a girl with bunny ears on pulling a wagon with two bunnies in it. — My Hoppy Easter Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Hoppy Easter Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Bunny Wagon.

The Details of My Card

I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers in bright Easter colours to match my Easter paper.

For my card, I decided to create several flags using the different papers in varying sizes at the top left and bottom right. I used my Punch to create my flags in the different widths.

The white background already had a texture to it, but I used a ruler and a multi liner to draw lines along the edges to add even more interest.

To highlight my focal point, I added a stitched circle in pink behind the Bunny Wagon.

The sentiment was stamped, and die cut with a stitched banner die which was cut off at the edge to match the other flags.

Star Dust Stickles was added to the heart on her dress. The only other embellishment was a scattering of sequins.

An Easter card with the Easter Bunny on it — My Happy Easter Bunny Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Happy Easter Bunny Card using the Easter Bunny Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!

The Details of My Cards

For my cards, I thought it would be fun to create a scene with the Easter Bunny peeking through the leaves from the Around the Bend Dies as he’s hiding his Easter eggs!

The Into the Clouds Embossing Folder created the perfect sky for my scene with a die cut white cloud adding some interest.

I decided to use the Parakeet Party In Color DSP as my grass and leaves using the Around the Bend Die. A scattering of die cut flowers were used to add colour and highlight the sentiment which was die cut from the Pretty Pillowbox Dies.

The bunny was stamped in black on Basic White showing that you don’t always need to color it to make it stand out.

A couple of Brass Butterflies were added to complete my scene.

My Easter Bunny Trio Card

March 19, 2023 Leave a comment

An easter card with 3 bunnies on it. — Easter Bunny Trio Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Easter Bunny Trio Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the New Release Easter Rabbit Trio Bundle.

This Bundle includes 4 images:

Title 1: Easter Rabbit Trio
Title 2: Rabbit Holding Egg
Title 3: Rabbit Holding Daffodil
Title 4: Rabbit Holding Carrot

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought I would create a fun Centre-Step card (downloadable template at end of post) with these three cuties on it! The bunnies come as individual images, but if you get the PNG versions, you can use Microsoft Word to place them together like I did. I made the Egg Bunny larger than the other two since he is in front of the other two.

Once I printed them out, I coloured them with my Copic markers. I decided to colour them in different colours since bunnies come in all sorts of colours and to distinguish them from each other. I coloured the Easter egg to match the purple paper with yellow to match the daffodil and orange to match the carrot. You could say that the Easter egg tied up my colour scheme in a bow.

I went with soft pastels of purples, yellows, and greens for my paper choices since they are the perfect Easter colors! The Wisteria Wonder Baker’s Twine tied in a bow behind my cuties added some interest to the yellow base. The sentiment piece was die cut with a 3” stitched circle die on the yellow paper from the Welcome Easter Paper Pad by Echo Park. The die cut sentiment was glued directly to the circle.

I used Clear Wink of Stella on the Easter egg to make it sparkle. A scattering of sequins was added to give even more sparkle.

My Easter Basket

April 12, 2022 Leave a comment

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!

Easter Card with Daffodils — My Easter Blessings Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Easter Blessings Card using the Daffodil Daydream Bundle by Stampin’ Up! This bundle is perfect for those last-minute Easter cards that you need to make!

Details of My Card

I love our yellow and white daffodils that sprout up each year in our garden! So, I decided to go with this colour scheme for my card!

Photo of daffodils — Daffodils in Our Garden

For my card, I wanted to create a soft look by using Soft Suede Ink to stamp my flowers. To go with this soft look, I used my Blender pens to pick up Old Olive and Bumblebee inks to colour my flowers. Guess what I used for my white petals? I used the White Stampin’ Chalk Marker! Perfect way to add that white!

Daffodil stamp being coloured — Colouring of Daffodils with Blender Pen

I stamped the dots in Crumb Cake around my flowers and added the border stamp in Old Olive ink at the base of my card. I carefully positioned the leaves from the Greenery Embossing Folder so that you could see the embossed leaves on either side of the centre piece. The Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper was the perfect accompaniment to my colouring as well as the gingham ribbon bringing out the Bumblebee colour. The sentiment used the Tailor Made Tags Dies. All this card needed was a Bumblebee Trinket flitting around the flowers!

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

March 21, 2022 Leave a comment

A card with a gnome in a bunny costume. — 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.

My Angel Messenger Card

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.

April Showers Card

May 6, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my April Showers Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the cute digital stamp Avery in Rain Poncho.

April showers really does bring May flowers! May is here and the flowers are blooming! So, I couldn’t resist colouring Avery in her sweet rain poncho and her little friend with my Copic markers! I have had her coloured for a long time sitting on my desk waiting to be placed on the perfect card and I thought Spring is the perfect time for her!

For my card, I decided to create a circular card instead of my typical square/rectangle ones. A circular card suited the Sending Flowers Dies with its vignette of tulips and flowers in the bright spring colours. The Pleased as Punch DSP with the raindrops was perfect for my background of my card. I added a few more raindrops with the Glitter and Clear Epoxy Shapes to make the rain sparkle. More sparkle was added with the rhinestones in the flowers centers. I added Glossy Accents to her boots since all goloshes are wet from splashing in puddles!

Welcome Spring Card

April 28, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Welcome Spring Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. This digital stamp is called Bunny Tulips and comes with the bunny in the flower pot and two sentiments.

Spring has finally arrived in my part of the world! The tulips and daffodils are blooming, and the birds are singing. I love Spring and the renewal of life that it brings!

For my card, I coloured this sweet stamp with my Copic markers in Spring like colours of pink, yellow and blue. Did you know that you can have pink and yellow snails! Lol! I love how the bunny is peeking out of the flower pot! I used Glossy Accents on the pot to give it a shine and Stickles on the butterfly to make her sparkle!

For my embellishments, I had some paper tulips that were very long. So, I sniped them down and wrapped them like a bouquet you get in the store. I used some paper ribbon that I die cut into a square for the wrap. A piece of raffia tied around the bundle finishes this lovely bouquet off. I added a paper butterfly that matches the fence which was die cut using the Picket Fence Die-namics. I coloured a few of the pearls to match my card and added a few uncoloured ones to match the paper butterfly.
