Feminine Cards - Stamp With Laurie

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

March 11, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! St. Patrick’s Day is next week, and I thought I would use Ellie with Clovers by Paper Nest Dolls for my Happy St. Patrick’s Day Card.

I do not have a lot of St. Patrick’s Day stuff in my stash, but I always create a card since my cousin is Irish and I like to send her a card.

I coloured Ellie with my Copic markers in traditional green and yellow tones. I also gave her red hair since my cousin has a couple of red heads in her family. Some crocheted lace was added since Ireland is known for their beautiful lace. Three four leaf clovers with gems create a nice border to set off the tag from the Doodlebug Paper. A couple of glitter sprinkles finish my card off.

My Puppy Love Card

March 8, 2021 5 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Puppy Love Card as my first official Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. I am so excited that I have been asked to become a permanent Design Team Member! Yippee!

For my card, I used the sweet Puppy Cuddles and coloured with my Copic markers her hair colour to match her puppy’s fur. You know what they say…you look like your dog. Lol!

Since it is still snowy here is Canada, I thought I would create one last winter card as a mini slim line card. I have been having so much fun with slim line cards and thought it would be fun to create my first mini card for her! The birch trees were the perfect size for my slim line card with a couple of snow banks to fill in the space at the bottom. I decided that the Friend die would be neat die cut from the snow bank. I added the white embossed “Best” on Early Espresso to match the colour of her dog and to complete my Best Friend sentiment since all dogs are Man’s Best Friend!

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.

Fine Art Birthday Card

March 2, 2021 Leave a comment

Today is I am sharing my Fine Art Birthday Card using the Fine Art Floral Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I love this collection with the lovely flowers and textures on a modern take on classic impasto paintings. Rich textures, lovely florals, gold leafing, and more all work together for a fine art experience that is sure to yield beautiful and elegant results.

The Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set is so pretty with lots of lovely sentiments for all kinds of cards! And you can’t go wrong with the matching Floral Gallery Dies.

How to Use Gilded Leafing Embellishment

When I saw the Gilded Leafing Embellishment in the new mini, I was so excited! It was on the top of my list to buy. I have used similar products and just loved them. So, I knew I would love the Stampin’ Up! version.

For my card, I took the VersaMark Ink Pad and rubbed it on opposite corners of the DSP and the Mossy Meadow card stock (which was embossed first with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder). I then sprinkled Heat & Stick Powder to the ink and set it with my heat tool. It will melt like embossing powder but leaves a sticky residue behind to which you can adhere the Gold Gilding. I then burnished with my fingers the Gold Gilding removing the excess.

Imagine an artist, delicately painting individual canvases in a classic impasto style. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? That’s exactly what this paper is! A Stampin’ Up! artist hand-paint canvases with beautiful florals and textures in classic Stampin’ Up! colors. They then took those canvases, photographed them, and made them into this unique designer series paper. Your heart will grow wild when you get this paper in your hands. The pack includes florals, patterns, colour variance, and all the touches of professional paintings.

To finish my card, I added a strip of the gorgeous Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate behind the Fine Art Ribbon and the sentiment. A scattering of Gold Glitter Enamel Dots tie in the golden theme.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Art Gallery Bundle (156227)

Inks: Bumblebee Classic Stampin’ Pad (153116), Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin’ Pad (147111), VersaMark Ink Pad (102283

Paper: Bumblebee (153077), Mossy Meadow (133676), Basic White (159276), Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate (154557), Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (154558)

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!

My Sweet Birthday Card

February 23, 2021 Leave a comment

Today is I am sharing My Sweet Birthday Card that I made for a swap using the Sweet Strawberry Bundle and the Sale-a-Bration Berry Bliss Bundle. There is only a few more day left of the Jan-Feb 2021 Sale-a-Bration and you can get the Berry Bliss Bundle for free with a qualifying $120 order.

I love how these two bundles coordinate with their berry sweet theme! The Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper is so pretty with its fresh and juicy paper designs. Both stamp sets are Distinktive and consist of two-step stamping to give you texture and dimension to your images.

Who doesn’t love a coordinating punch and what is better than the Strawberry Builder Punch! I even punched out a coordinating Granny Apple Green stem to top my strawberry.

I wanted to create a country theme by using the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder and the Denim Ribbon. The Stitched Oval also adds to my theme. The plaid DSP reminded me of a table cloth that has been laid on the ground to enjoy your picnic of berries. A couple of Red Rhinestones are the finishing touch and add a bit of sparkle to the card.

I had so much fun with my card that I ended up making 3 versions all with different sentiments.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Sweet Strawberry Bundle (156214), Berry Blessings Bundle (157613)

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!

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.

Happy Birthday to Me!

January 25, 2021 Leave a comment

Today is my birthday! So I thought I would share my Happy Birthday to Me Card celebrating me and my friend, Sheina, who’s birthday is today as well! Happy Birthday Sheina!

I recently attended a Virtual Stampin’ Up! Christmas Party that was put on by our team leader. The party was delayed until January since Covid was affecting delivery schedules. For this party, we were we given a package of products including a Pool Party card base, Basic Black Card Stock, Basic White Card Stock, a piece of True Love Designer Series Paper, a Square Vellum Doily and Pool Party Sheer Ribbon to create a mystery card. We could use these supplies anyway we liked to create something to share with the group. We could also add any additional supplies to the card that we wished.

My Additional Supplies

So, I added the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, Pool Party Ink, VersaMark Ink, White Embossing Powder, Basic Black Card Stock and Rhinestone Basic Jewels to create my final card.

I love the very elegant black/white True Love DSP with the floral motif on one side and geometrics on the other. There are so many ways to add colour to it. You could colour it with the Stampin’ Blends, the Stampin’ Write Markers, sponges or daubers. I chose to add Pool Party Ink using the new Blending Brushes.

I then trimmed it into 3 equal pieces and added it to the Basic Black mat. Once the sentiment was heat set on the Basic Black card stock, I added a trimmed down edge of the Square Doily so that it peeks out. I tied the pretty Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon around my focal point and popped it up with dimensionals. I added a scattering of Rhinestone Basic Jewels to add some shimmer.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set (151331

Inks: VersaMark Ink (102283), Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pad (147107)

Paper: Pool Party (122924), Basic White (159276), Basic Black (121045), True Love Designer Series Paper (154281)

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!
