My Blowing Wishes Your Way Card for Conie Fong Art & Design
Happy New Year’s Eve! Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! For my last card of 2020, I am sharing my Guest Design Team Inspiration for Conie Fong Art & Design using Dandelion Wishes. This sweet fairy is “blowing wishes your way” for a wonderful 2021!
I had so much fun colouring her with my Copics markers in bright and bonny colours for a change from the Christmas colours that I have been using lately! This digital stamp can be used for so many different occasions, but I decided that I wanted to create a New Year’s Eve card. I knew that I wanted to use some new Stampin’ Up! products that I received that tied in the dandelion theme nicely like the Designer Series Paper and the Dies!

It’s Laurie here with Our Friendship is Tweet Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her cute ‘Tweet Friendship’ Christmas Digital Stamp. I have been a big fan of Rachelle Anne Miller’s for a long time. In fact, I used my rubber stamp that was in my stash to create my card, but you can get the digital version in her store.
I love this sweet little girl with her tweet friends! I though she made a perfect card for a winter birthday and I have a lot of them coming up in January and February. So I have plans for her!
For my card, I coloured her with my favourite BG and YG colour combinations of Copic markers. I then created a frame by laying down the die that I used to cut her out and sponged Pool Party Ink with my new Blending Brush from Stampin’ Up! When I lifted the die up, I was left with a white frame to set off my image. I love the Frostyville Wreath in the Sparkle Glimmer Paper, but it was too small for my image. So, I cut it apart and draped it along the frame. To balance the “wreath” of snowflakes, I placed another larger snowflake opposite them. I thought that the Metallic Mesh Ribbon looked like cracked ice creating a subtle texture to the card. A scattering of Adhesive-backed Snowflakes added to the Winter Wonderland theme of my card.
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here again! I am sharing my Let’s Rejoice Christmas Card as my Guest Design Team Inspiration for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Angel Prayers. I created a slimline card for my Holy scene.
The Details of My Card
This digital stamp is perfect for so many occasions like birthday, sympathy, get well and thinking of you. However, for my card, I wanted her to be the Christmas Angel from the Nativity. So, I coloured her with my Copic Markers in Christmas colours.
I use the Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on her wings and smooshed the lines with my finger before they dried. This gives the lines a softer look, but still allows a flowing movement of her wings. I also used the same pen on all the gold accents to make them shimmer. Finally, I added Clear Wink of Stella on her wrap. You can never have too much sparkle where an angel is concerned!
Instead of a night scene, I decided to create a sunrise with the dawning of the birth of Jesus Christ. For my sunrise, I used my Distress Oxide Inks and my Mini Blending Tool starting with Fossilized Amber at the base of the watercolor paper, followed by Worn Lipstick, Wilted Violet, Broken China and Faded Jeans.
Distress Oxide Blending of Sunrise Sky
Once the colours were blended, I used my Splatter Tool dipped in Frost White Shimmer Paint and then in water to create the sky.
The Final Sunrise Sky with Shimmer Paint and Water Splatter
For my Nativity scene, the die I used comes as border. So, a few snips here and there and add my Sahara Sand dune to create my layered scene with lots of dimensionals between the layers.
The Gold Foil stars were from the Silent Night Dies from Creative Expressions. The North Star was snipped from the largest die in the set.
To finish the card, I used a Gold Foil mat followed by a Stitched Cherry Cobber mat.
It’s Laurie here with A Grand Adventure Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her cute Elephant Adventure Digital Stamp. This little girl looks like she is in for the ride of her life and making great memories as she does! One day, I hope to visit Africa and go on Safari with cameras. It’s on my Bucket List!
For my card, it may be hard to see, but the paper has elephants on it along with some other animals like giraffes, birds, hyaenas and more. So I knew I wanted to use that as my base for the card design. Even the Great Memories tag with the elephant came from that paper pack! The iconic Acacia Tree that is behind the tag came from the Safari Collection Dies and was perfect for my African theme!
I knew that I wanted to colour the family as a Momma Snowman and her little girl. I pulled the colours from the bright and cheery Doodlebug Winter Wonderland Paper Pad. Don’t you just love Doodlebug! Of course, you have to have lots of glitter when you are making a snowman card! In fact, I have it everywhere…on the card, on me, on my craft table! LOL! I dabbed some glue in the sky and on the ground and sprinkle glitter all over to create my snowy scene. I love the Frosty border and the snowflake die cuts from the Sparkle Glimmer Paper. The blue gems really glitter as well! This card is so pretty and sparkly in person!

This card is dedicated to my aunt and godmother who passed away yesterday. She loved collecting snow people and always had them out at Christmas and sometimes well after that! I always sent her a Christmas card with snow people on it. Always loved…never forgotten…forever missed!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Hello Pumpkin Guest Design Team Card for the Copic for ALLE Facebook Group using Krista Smith Stamps Pretty Pumpkin Digital Stamp. I was so honoured to be asked by this group to be a Guest Designer for their YR (Yellow/Red) Copic Challenge for October. This combination screams pumpkins to me and since I haven’t coloured a Krista Smith image in a while, I thought Pretty Pumpkin would be perfect for my card! Of course, for a Fall card, you need falling paper leaves that I pulled from my stash! Hope you like my take on this Color Challenge!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Sweet Christmas Angels Cards for the Design Team of Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her cute Angels Christmas Digital Stamp. I had so much fun colouring these cuties that I ended up colouring two stamps! One with the traditional red, green and gold. The other one with soft pastel colours of pink, blue and gold. I had a This or That post of the coloured stamps earlier this week and was pleasantly surprised that they both were popular. Many people had a hard time choosing just one and so did I! So I created two cards with the same layout, just different papers and colour schemes.
This or That? Which Do You Pick?

Today I am sharing with you my Cardinal Anniversary Card using the Toile Christmas Stamp Set and matching Christmas Cardinal Dies by Stampin’ Up! I was asked by a good friend to create a custom anniversary card for her to give to her husband. She mentioned that he loves cardinals and she would like one on the card. So, I decided to that two cardinals, a male and female, would be perfect for an anniversary card. Did you know that cardinals mate for life!
I decided to create a Fall scene with the Woodland Embossing Folder and the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper since they were married in October. I love the copper and gold gilded leaves on the paper! To tie in the gold accents, I embossed the sentiment from the Well Said Stamp Set in gold. For an anniversary card, I had to pull in the hearts with the Stitched Be Mine Dies! Some Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Shimmery Crystal Effects on the berries add a bit of sparkle to the card.
I used a number of techniques to colour my birds such as the No-Lines, Flicking and Tip-to-Tip. I included more information below, as well as some colouring videos at the end of this post.
For the male cardinal, I used Cherry Cobbler Light/Dark Blends and the Dark Smokey Slate Blend to darken the shadows in strategic locations, such as his tail, his breast and wing, giving the bird depth. For the female cardinal, I used Crumb Cake Light/Dark Blends and Light Crumb Cake/Dark Cherry Cobbler Blends.
My Cardinals Coloured with Stampin’ Blends
No-Lines Technique
I coloured these beautiful cardinals with the no-lines technique. This technique uses a light colour to stamp the image. For the cardinals, I used the Sahara Sand Classic Stampin’ Pad. The lighter colour gives you a guideline for your colouring without the harsh black lines and makes the image more real and vibrant.
Flicking Technique
Once stamped, I used a flicking technique with my Blends to create a lot of texture. This technique is achieved by applying ink in quick, single strokes. The key to this inking technique is to flick the marker tip across the page to create a single stroke that goes from dark to light.
Holding the marker loosely, start a downward movement towards the paper
As the marker tip touches the paper, quickly move across the paper, bringing your hand up and away from the paper. This will apply more ink at the beginning of the stroke and less at the end.
You may need to turn the paper to accommodate the angle that is most comfortable for you.
Flicks can be left unblended to create texture such as for hair or feathers (like this card). Or, they can be blended out to create smooth shading.
The Tip-to-Tip Technique
To combine two different coloured blends on the female cardinal, I used the Tip to Tip Blending Technique. This gives you a smooth transition of colors and doesn’t end up looking all blotchy where the colors meet. I’ve chosen the Light Crumb Cake Blend and the Dark Cherry Cobbler Blend for the female cardinal.
Brush the tip of the Light Crumb Cake Blend over the tip of the Dark Cherry Cobbler Blend to pick up some color. The Crumb Cake Blend then acts as your brush to apply a mix of both colors.
As you apply the Crumb Cake Blend, the Cherry Cobbler will eventually run out and only Crumb Cake is left. This creates a smooth transition between the two colours. I kept working these blends together until I was happy with the amount of Cherry Cobber I had on the bird.
Don’t worry about your markers being contaminated—all you need to do is run them over some scrap paper a few times and the nibs will clean themselves.

For Technique Tuesday, I am sharing my Let’s Celebrate You Card that is demonstrated in my last colouring video from my presentation to fellow demonstrators. I love this big bold sunflower image with the matching dies from the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle! I created another card using this set in an earlier post and used the same technique. Just in case you wanted to check it out, I added a link to it at the end of this post.
This advanced colouring technique uses 3 colours to creates more dimension and texture to what you are colouring. For the sunflower, I used three markers, Mango Melody Light and Dark and Calypso Coral Light, for the petals. I used the Calypso Coral in the darkest of shadows that are indicated by the artist drawn lines. For the flower centre, I use Soft Suede Light and Dark, but for the Dark Suede, I dotted the marker to create texture that the artist has indicated with their dots. In this video, I demonstrate this colouring technique:

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.

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!

For Technique Tuesday, I am sharing my smooth colouring technique for my beautiful Poppy Birthday Card using the Painted Poppies Bundle. I used both this bundle and the Poppy Moment Dies for this stunning card. They compliment each other so well! Of course, I had to use Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends to colour my poppies! I wanted to make the colouring the main focal point, but couldn’t resist using the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder on the Whisper White card stock once I stamped the Just Jade splotches. To add a bit of subtle dimension, I used Vellum for some of the leaves and the circular accent that grounds the piece. The Basic Rhinestones were coloured with the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend to match my card.
For part 3 of my colouring videos with Stampin’ Blends, I am demonstrating the smooth colouring technique. The other 2 parts are listed below at the end of this document. One of the most exciting things about Blends, as the name suggests, is their blending capabilities.
Smooth Colouring Technique
Apply a smooth layer in small circles of the lightest colour to your image. If you have a large area to cover, work in sections to keep the ink moist. This wet ink will help with the blending.
Add the dark colour where the shadows will be using a flicking motion to help with the blending process and reduce the amount of ink needed for a smooth blend.
Use the light colour to blend along the area where the dark and the light colours meet
You may need to go over it a few times to get it blended how you like.
Blends have the ability to lay down smooth, even colour without streaks
Colour in small circles keeping the leading edge wet and allow the ink to blend to create a seamless look
Make sure you saturate the entire area so that you eliminate any light or mottled areas
Check the back of your paper to make sure that the ink is saturating evenly

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!

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.
