The Details of My Mermazing Day Card
For my card, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and colour with my Copic markers Rosealea in oranges. I don’t usually use orange in my colouring. But since there was a lot going on in the background, I thought it would make her pop from my shaker card and match the orange fish in the background DSP.
The Waves Die by Spellbinders was a new purchase, and it went perfectly with my mermaid theme! Since the die took up the whole card front with lots of peek through holes, I decided to create a shaker card.
To create my focal point, I added behind Rosealea gold foil coral and some vellum seaweed. Rosealea and the seaweed helped lead your eye up to the sentiment.
Next, I adhered a scattering of gold shell sequins from the Sea Sequins to the front of my card, along with some blue sequins from the Stardust Sequins to tie in my colour scheme.
Finally, to add some sparkle, I used Clear Wink of Stella on her tail and Glossy Accents on the pearls in her hair.

The Details of My Mother’s Day Bouquet Card
Since Mother’s Day is this weekend, I thought I would colour with my Copic Markers a bouquet of flowers and decided to use the Garden Bouquet. I love all those spring flowers that Conie used in her bouquet! Perfect for a Mother’s Day card!
For the designer paper, I used the Spring Whispers Decorative Papers since it has watering cans with flowers on it. Perfect for my image! The butterfly and bee papers in the background was also from those papers. The Spring Whispers Coloured Card Collection made it easy to match my papers!
To add some interest to my card, I added a tulip border on one side. I used my Copic Markers to colour the die cut to match the colours of the tulips in the image. I also used the Coloured Card Collection to die cut a matching-coloured butterfly and watering can.
The sentiment was from a retired stamp set that was stamped in Orchid Oasis Ink and matted with the a pink from the Coloured Card Collection.
To add some sparkle, I used my Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on the hydrangea flower centres and Wink of Stella on the bow. The finishing touch was a scattering rhinestones to add even more sparkle.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Daisy Daydream Alternative Cards using the Daisy Daydream March 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I loved this kit with its pretty paper pieces (especially those bees!), printed cards and envelopes! So, I made five alternative cards with only adding Balmy Blue card stock to two of them.
But, first, here are the three cards that the kit makes. Perfect for all occasions, these beautifully crafted cards bring a touch of nature-inspired charm to your handmade creations.
Daisy Daydream March 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit
The Details of My Daisy Daydream Alternative Cards
My Centre-Step Card
For my first alternative card, I used my favourite fun fold and create a centre-step card! The beautiful printed card bases lend themselves to this fun fold. The only extra product that I added was the Balmy Blue card base which was cut and scored according to the template below.
My Centre-Step Card
For the centre panel, I cut the front of one of the daisy cards in half and used the right side for my centre panel. Next, I popped up a large daisy at the top and tucked in a honeycomb piece so that it hung off the edge.
The side panels were from the envelope with the daisies on the front that I cut apart. Since the panels were so thin, I was able to cut both panels using just the front left side of the envelope.
Side View of Centre-Step Card
For the bottom panel, I added the daisy chain behind my sentiment and tucked in another honeycomb hanging off the edge of the centre panel. The daisy chain was a little long. So, I used my paper snips and trimmed off the green leaves on either side of it.
The finishing touch was the bee popped up on the centre panel. You might notice that I again had the bee hanging off the edge of the centre panel. I loved this look which added visual interest and brought the eye to the back panels.
Measurements:
Card Base:
11” x 4 ¼” cut/scored according to template below
Centre Panel:
2-1/8” x 5-3/8”
2 Side Strips (from Envelope):
7/8” x 4-3/8”
Other Pieces from Kit:
Daisy Precut Paper Pieces
Bee Precut Paper Piece
Honeycomb Paper Pieces
Sentiment Piece
My Easel Card
For my second alternative card, I decided to create an easel card with the daisy chain being used inside as my stopper. So, I scored the front of the Blue Card Base from the Kit in half at 2-1/8” to create my fold.
I used the remaining half of the Daisy card front and cut the back of that card base in half to use one panel for the front and the other panel on the inside.
My Easel Card
For my focal point, I layered several elements from the Kit. I used the leftover circle from the Circle Layered piece to matt the green circle. Then, I added the full-length daisy making sure that when the card was in easel layout that the daisy did not extend beyond the card at the bottom. I tucked in a honeycomb behind my sentiment and popped up the bee. Note: Only add adhesive to the bottom of this circle focal point.
Easel Card Open
For the inside, I added the final panel from the daisy card base and popped up the daisy chain to create the stopper. I love how this looks when the card is in easel form with the daisy chain mirroring the daisies on the card front.
Measurements:
Blue Card base (from Kit):
4 ¼” x 5 ½” scored at 2-1/8”
Daisy Card Base (3 Pieces):
2” x 5-3/8”
Other Pieces from Kit:
Daisy Precut Paper Pieces
Bee Precut Paper Piece
Honeycomb Paper Piece
Green Circle
Leftover Circle
Sentiment Piece
My Faux-Step Card
For my next alternative card using the Daisy Daydream March 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a faux-step card.
I used two of the yellow card bases from the kit to create my card. One I trimmed 3 ½” off the full card base to create my centre panel. For the back panels, I used a full card base and scored it according to the measurements listed below. There was a score from the original card that I ignored. Once that panel with the original score was covered up with the card stock and the printed envelop, it was not noticeable. Hence why my mats are 1/8” instead of ¼” …less card base showing.
My Faux-Step Card
For this card, the only extra product that I used was some Balmy Blue Card Stock to mat my pieces. The rest was from envelops which included the front right of the blue envelop and the envelope with the bee on the front. Once the envelope with the bee was cut apart, I was able to use the front piece for the back panel that ran the length of the card. Then, I used the back of the envelope for the bottom panel.
Side of My Faux-Step Card
Again, for my focal point, I layered several pieces from the kit together.
Measurements:
2 Yellow Card Bases:
4 ¼” x 5 ½” scored at 1 ¼”, 2 ½” and 5 ½”
3 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
Balmy Blue (3 Pieces):
3-3/8” x 4-1/8” (Centre Panel)
1-1/8” x 5-3/8” (Bottom Panel)
2-7/8” x 5-3/8” (Back Panel)
Envelope Pieces:
3 ¼” x 4” (Blue Envelope)
1” x 5 ¼”
2 ¾’ x 5 ¼”
Other Pieces from Kit:
Daisy Precut Paper Piece
Bee Precut Paper Piece
Honeycomb Paper Piece
Green Circle
Sentiment Piece
My Birthday Card
For this alternative card, I decided to use the circle layer on top of the daisy card to create a peekaboo to the daisies below. I added several Daisy Pre-cut Paper Pieces around the sentiment and popped up the bee.

Pieces from Kit:
Daisy Card Base
Circle Layer
Daisy Precut Paper Pieces
Bee Precut Paper Piece

My Thank You Card
For my last alternative card, I had the daisy part leftover from the blue envelop and thought it would be pretty peeking through the circle layer.
My Thank You Card
The daisy just fit in the circle to the point that I adhered it directly to the circle layer. If I had popped it up, the edges would have been noticeable. So, instead, I popped up the whole circle layer.
Once again, I layered several pieces, including a large daisy, sentiment, honeycomb, vellum and a bee, from the kit for my focal point. I added an extra bee since I had one leftover.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Easter Greetings Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Angel Wishes. This purchase includes 2 Images with Angel facing left and right.
The Details of My Easter Greetings Card
For my card, I decided to create a mini slimline Easter card with this sweetie! So, I knew that I wanted to colour her with my Copic markers in soft pastel Easter colours of purples, pinks, yellows and greens. For the purple, I decided to use my BVs instead of my traditional Vs to match the papers. Another big departure for me is that I coloured her wings in B45/B41. I usually use much lighter colours like B000/B00 or BG10/BG11. My colour choices were out of my comfort zone, but I was pleased with how she turned out!
For the designer paper, I used two different paper packs. The butterfly paper in the background was from Spring Whispers and the florals was from Sweet Tweets both by The Paper Boutique. The Spring Whispers Coloured Card Collection made it easy to match my papers!
To anchor my Angel, I added a stitched circle and another circle mat. I had debated about using the Tulip Doily for my card, but decided it was too busy. However, the inside circle die from the Tulip Doily was the perfect fit for the mat of my stitched circle. I offset the circle and trimmed off the excess.
The sentiment was already on my desk leftover from anther card. It was from the Easter Bunny Trio Bundle. I added a stitched die cut behind my sentiment with the same paper to tie in the floral paper behind my focal point.
To add some sparkle, I used my Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on her wings and the ruffle of her dress. To create a soft look, I smooshed my finger on the ink before it dried.
The finishing touch was a scattering of butterflies to match the butterflies in the designer paper.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Birthday Wish Card using the Wildflower Birthday Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I wanted to try a book binding card, and I thought the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper would make a very pretty card.
The Details of My Birthday Wish Card
For my card, I used two different pieces of DSP for the “binding” and the “cover”. Since it was a birthday card, I decided to use the birthday cake piece and the pink plaid with Basic White mats to distinguish them from the Pretty in Pink card base.
Next, to match the gold accents in the DSP, I heat embossed the sentiment on the Basic White flag. Then, I added two DSP flags and one of the floral die cuts to decorate it. I love that the die cuts make it so easy to decorate your cards! In fact, I made another card with the same style, but added a large floral die cut to the bottom of the flag. Since my cards were for a swap, I didn’t have enough of these die cuts for all of them. So, for my finished card, I omitted it.
Alternative Card
To create my banner, I added a few more flags behind my sentiment flag and had everything hung from a Basic White die cut “rope” that I trimmed with my Paper Snips to fit.
To decorate my card further, I used the Gold Open Weave Trim to match my embossing. The width of the trim just fit, but I thought a White Baker’s Twine bow would help keep it in place.
As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Party Dots in matching colours to my card on and below my flag sentiment.
Supplies:
Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Wildflower Birthday Suite Collection (164604)
Inks: VersaMark Ink (102283)
Paper: Pretty in Pink (163793), Basic White (166780)

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Hello Spring Alternative Cards using the Hello Spring February 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! I am so over winter and ready for Spring. So, these cards helped to put me in the mood for new growth and warmer weather. I had so much fun with this Kit that I made 4 cards including a slimline quad fold pocket card and a triple panel bridge card!
But, first, here are the three cards that the kit makes. Perfect for this time of year in their bright cheery colours!
Hello Spring February 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit
The Details of My Hello Spring Alternative Cards
My Slimline Quad Fold Card
For my first alternative card, I thought it would be fun to create a slimline card with pockets into which the seed cards would fit. I even used the Grow with Love Dies to cut down one of the envelopes that came in the kit to create an envelope for my Chives card.
My Slimline Quad Fold Card
For the front, I used the leftover pieces from two envelopes (see Card 4 for second leftover piece) to create some interest behind my Bronze Foil Piece. I thought a bouquet of herbs sprouting from the sentiment would be fun! I used a 1 ½” circle punch to punch out a Basic Beige circle from the Bronze Foil Piece and matted it behind the sentiment. Since the herbs were in front of it, you couldn’t see the missing part. Finally, I added a bee from the Spring Is in the Air Dies.
My Slimline Quad Fold Card Laid Flat
For the inside, I used two card bases to line my pockets. More bees and honeycomb from the Spring Is in the Air Dies decorated the inside along with a sentiment.
The finishing touch was the linen wrapped three times around the card to hold it closed and tied in a bow.
Measurements:
Basic White Card Base:
8” x 12” – scored at 3”, 6”, 9” along 12” side and 5 ½” along 8” side

Other Pieces from Kit:
Herb Precut Paper Pieces
Herb Cards
Bronze Foil Piece
Sentiment Pieces
Linen Thread
Seed Packet Envelope
My Triple Panel Card
For my second alternative card using the Hello February 2025 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a triple panel card. I love it when the card is closed, and the insides are hidden creating a nice surprise as the recipient opens the card!
My Triple Panel Card
So, I cut the green card base at 1” on either side to create the struts to which the bridge will be adhered. The larger Bronze Foil Piece from the kit fitted the bridge perfectly! Then, using the scraps from the precut paper pieces, I stamped and die cut the flower heads and another bee from the Spring Is in the Air Dies.
For the middle panel, I punched a 1 ½” circle from another Bronze Foil Piece and layered it behind my sentiment and the mint precut paper piece.
Middle Panel of Triple Panel Card
For the final panel, I stamped the textured stamped multiple time in Petunia Pop on Petunia Pop card stock for a tone-on-tone look. Then, I layered the smaller Bronze Foil Piece with the basil precut paper piece leaving room for a message.
Last Panel of Triple Panel Card

My Happy Easter Card
For my next alternative card, I decided to use the green card base scrap left over from another card. This created a nice band on the left side.
My Happy Easter Card
For my focal point, I layered several elements from the Kit. Again, I used my 1 ½” punch to punch a circle from the Bronze Foil Piece making sure to have it on the left side and hidden by the Chives card.
Next, I stamped and die cut the flower heads and another bee from the Spring Is in the Air Dies. I just love these dies, especially that bee!
Measurements:
Green Card base:
2 ½” x 4 ¼”
Basic White:
Scraps for Bees and Flower Heads
Other Pieces from Kit:

My Happy Easter Pocket Card
For my last alternative card, I decided it would be fun to die cut another mini envelope from the seed packet envelopes (use the scraps from this one for the Slimline Quad Fold Card) and have the herbs sprouting from it.
My Happy Easter Pocket Card
So, I used the used the Grow with Love Dies to create my envelope. The Beige fastener was die cut from leftover scraps of the envelope.
I stamped the sentiment and added a Bubble Bath mat to it. To match the mat, I die cut another butterfly using the Spring Is in the Air Dies, but this time in Bubble Bath.
I decided to only stamp and die cut one flower hear to give the image dimension to it.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Butterfly Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Butterfly Wishes image from the Butterfly Wishes Kisses Bundle. She is perfect for those birthday cards we all need! This purchase includes 2 Images:
Title1: Butterfly Wishes
Title2: Butterfly Kisses
The Details of My Butterfly Wishes Card
I had a lot of fun colouring the Butterfly Wishes image from the bundle with my Copic markers to match my Mintay paper. I thought the Peony Garden paper suited the image since she had peonies in her hair. Finally, I added Wink of Stella to the butterflies to make them shimmer and Glossy Accents to the candle flame.
For my card, I decided to go with a faux-step card so that the beautiful Mintay paper can be visible on the background layer, even behind my focal point. I had a scrap of that paper left over. So, I trimmed it down, turned it over, and added to my front panel where the sentiment was located. Next, I tucked in a Butterfly Border behind this panel since it was perfect for my butterfly motif and added a fun whimsical feel.
Faux-Step Side View
For the birthday sentiment, I used my Glimmer Hot Foil System (a new toy!) and die cut it out. Then I fussy cut the tea cup and two of the butterflies from the Mintay paper. I love that these images match the papers! I tucked in the sentiment and one of the butterflies around the tea cup to create my sentiment cluster. The other butterfly was added to the top left of my coloured image so that it hung over the edge between the layers.
The finishing touch was a scattering of rhinestones to add even more sparkle to my card.

The Details of My Beautiful Day Card
For my card, I decided to go with a soft vintage Victorian theme and the Stamperia paper was perfect for it! The paper is so pretty with its roses and vintage wallpaper designs! There was one piece that had a circle with roses in it that suited Bella Rose! Since I wanted to add layers to my card, I used my Paper Snips to cut out the circle part to use for my focal point.
But first, I coloured Bella Rose with my Copic markers in soft colours to match my theme. I even added glitter to the roses in her hair to make them shimmer. I positioned Bella on the circle so that the rose on the layer below peeked through…almost like she was smelling the rose.
Next, I decided to create a rose gold foiled sentiment with a matching rose gold stitched mat. So, I used my laser printer and printed out a pretty scripty sentiment. Then, I foiled it using my laminator. This is something new to me and I hope to do more of it! Once this was done, I punched it out with a circle punch and added my mat.
To balance out my card, I used a tag that I tucked in behind my focal point opposite Bella. Then, I tucked in a beautiful detail rose die cut from Paper Roses on top of the tag. I thought the die cut roses matched the roses in Bella’s hair beautifully!
Finally, to add to the Vintage Victorian theme, I used some wide lace ribbon in a soft cream colour. To mirror this, I added three material roses in a matching colour opposite Bella on the circle.
The finishing touch was a scattering of sequins that matched my colour scheme and added sparkle to my card.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Poppin’ Up! 2025 Calendars using the Terrific Toadstools Bundle and three Sale-a-Bration items including the Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, the Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins and, the Starstruck Embossing Folder by Stampin’ Up! Canada Post went on strike right before Christmas and no Christmas cards were mailed. So, instead, I decided to send calendars again this year. I made 20 calendars for my customers.
20 Calendars!
The Details of My Poppin’ Up! 2025 Calendars
For my calendars, I decided to create one design with different colours of DSP. I matched the card stock colours to the DSP colours trying different colours together. I ended up using Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green. I’m not a Melon Mambo person…so, these colours were out of my comfort zone. Lol!
Calendar #1 with White Background DSP
Once I decided on the colours, I stamped the mushrooms in Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo and punched them out with the matching punch. I decided to keep the stems simple with just punched out Crumb Cake card stock.
Calendar #2 with Green background DSP
Next, I stamped the sentiment in black and die cut it out with the large flag from the Stylish Shaped Dies.
To add interest to the Melon Mambo banner, I embossed it with the free Sale-a-Bration Starstruck Embossing Folder.
Calendar #3 with Pink Background DSP
Time to assemble all the layers of the banner. I added a stitched circle behind my mushrooms and tucked in my sentiment. Then, I layered the embossed banner piece behind everything.
Next, I added a Melon Mambo mat to the calendar and adhered it to the base.
Finally, I added some of the free Sale-a-Bration Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins around my focal point.
Supplies:
Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Terrific Toadstools Bundle (164790), Stylish Shapes Dies (159183)

For my card, I decided to create a Z-fold card so that I could decorate all the panels with the gorgeous Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! The ready-to-use die cuts that are included in the DSP were perfect for my birthday theme!
But first, I coloured with my Copic markers the dog and girl to look like my friend and her dog, Rocky! He has very distinctive marking including eyebrows! Lol. I added Glossy Accents to her phone and Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to the heart tag on Rocky’s collar.
Z-Fold
To add to the birthday celebrations, I used the Birthday Celebration Dies by Stampin’ Up!, as well as, a bow Corner Die from Memory Box on the front panel of the card. The cupcake was from the DSP ready-to-use die cuts and matched my colour scheme perfectly!
The sentiment was from the retired Pampered Pets Stamp Set and stamped in Blueberry Bushel before die cutting it with one of the Unbounded Love Dies.
Inside Panels of Card
For the inside, I decorated the panels with the DSP and die-cuts. Don’t you love that cake and banner! So festive! The inside sentiment was from the Throughout the Year Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! and stamped in Blueberry Bushel as well. A floral die cut was the finishing touch to the sentiment panel.
For embellishments, I added some Party Dots on the front to matched my colour scheme.
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Sweet Valentine Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Isabella Blossoms. This purchase includes 2 Images with girl facing right and left.
The Details of My Sweet Valentine Card
Valentine’ Day is coming up! So, I thought I would create a Valentine card with this beautiful lady. I coloured her in pinks and reds to match the Art Options Rouge Paper by 49 and Market. Love this paper and the matching Chipboard Elements! The paper has a lot of texture and design to it already. Therefore, my card didn’t need much to finished it off! Card making made easy!
Since my card was for Valentine’s Day, I pulled out a heart lace doily as a backdrop to my focal point. Then, I layered several chipboard elements to create my sentiment beside Isabella. I also added the “XOXO” chipboard flag at the top of my card.
Next, I added Clear Star Gelly roll pen to the centre of the flowers for sparkle. To soften the look, I lightly touched the centres with my finger to remove some of the gel. I also added Glossy Accents to the green pearls in her hair.
The finishing touch was a scattering of sequins and rhinestones that matched my colour scheme.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Delightful Birthday Card using theFloral Delight Suite Collection from the new Stampin’ Up! 2025 Mini Catalogue. I have 6 family birthdays all within a week coming up at the end of January. So, I am in birthday card mode! One card done…just 5 more to go! Lol!
The Details of My Delightful Birthday Card
My card was for a demonstrator swap using new products from the January – April 2025 Mini Catalogue. So, I decided to use the beautiful Floral Delight Suite Collection. I just love the bright and cheery colours of the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper, ready to be used on cards and scrapbook pages for a touch of spring, summer, or autumn.
For my card, I decided to create a Z-fold card with the DSP on the front panel and an Eyelet Embossed Basic White piece on the inside, but still visible when the card was closed. The embossed piece added interest while not detracting from the focal point.
Top of Z-Fold
For the focal point, I decided to layer two circles from the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I thought that the delicate edging of the Daffodil Delight piece coordinated well with the embossed eyelet piece.
The Delightful Wishes Stamp Set is a Two-Step Stampin’ set; it allows you to layer two or more images to create one final image with extra texture and dimension in the colours you want. So, I used Daffodil Delight Ink to stamp the outline image first. I found that doing this first helped to line up the Lemon Lolly stamped main image. Next, I stamped the leaves in Old Olive to add some colour. I love the way this turned out creating a soft look behind the sentiments.
Card Standing Up
Next, for the sentiment, I decided to layer the “wishing” die cuts to create dimension with the Old Olive stamped sentiment nestled below.
Finally, as a finishing touch, I added a scattering of the sweet Tiny Bee Trinkets around my sentiment and on the Eyelet Embossed piece. A perfect accent to my card!

The Details of My On Point Birthday Card
I just loved these cute Kawaiis with the eyes that I decided to colour the Cactus Succulent Arrangement Kawaii twice in different colours. One was for a friend’s birthday who loves succulents and the other was for a colour challenge at Kendra’s Card Challenges.
My Colouring of the Cactus Succulent Arrangement Kawaii
For my friend’s birthday card, I decided to use bright cheery colours for my colouring. I had a lot of fun colouring the succulent in two different tones of colours! I even gave the pot a variegated look! Lots of techniques from which to play!
I used the retired Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up since it was perfect for the stamp. To create my focal point, I added some die cut succulents and aloe around my coloured stamp. These dies cuts were brushed with matching inks for a tone-on-tone look, but still added dimension. In addition to this, I used a roller-ball stylus in the centre of the succulents to make them pop up.
Don’t you just love the sentiment! What a hoot! And I knew my friend would get a kick out of it!
Finally, the finishing touches were rhinestones in the centre of the succulents and a strip of sheer ribbon.
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Peace & Joy Christmas Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Molly Cutie from the Molly Winter Bundle. This Bundle includes 4 digital stamps:
Molly’s Winter Friends
Molly’s Joy
Molly Cutie
Molly Cutie Without Birdie
The Details of My Peace & Joy Christmas Card
I checked and this was my fourth time colouring different variations of this stamp! Lol! It is obviously one of my favourites of Conie Fong! The other three were before I was on Conie’s Design Team, and I will include them at the end of this post.
For my card, I had this gorgeous Merry Little Christmas Paper Collection by Paper Rose. So, I decided to use the piece that had the cardinal on it since I coloured the birdie as a cardinal this time. I also used the paper for the sentiment banner with the wood and Christmas word tickets.
The sentiment was foil embossed in gold with my laminator and gold foil. This is something that I have discovered recently and plan to do more often! So fun! I backed the foiled sentiment with a stitched circle from the red paper in the Collection. Tip: I die cut it out of the centre of the red mat that is behind my floral piece. Since you do not see it, it saved on paper.
The poinsettias were hand punched and assembled with gold glitter dots to mirror the poinsettia in the paper.
I had some punched glittery snowflakes on my desk from another card. So, I added them for interest.
Finally, for sparkle, I added some red rhinestones around her, as well as Star Dust Stickles to Molly’s and the bird’s pompoms. Clear Star gelly roll was added to the flowers on her dress with white gelly roll added to the polka dots on her scarf and gold gelly roll to her buttons. Glossy Accents was added to the berries that the birdie is carrying. You can never have too much sparkle on a Christmas card! Lol!

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Celebrate Christmas Card using the Warms My Heart Stamp Set and the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!
The Details of My Celebrate Christmas Card
My card was for a swap with other demonstrators, and I thought it would be fun to pull out my Blends to colour the wreath girl from the Warms My Heart Stamp Set. I was inspired by the card with the pumpkin girl that was in the Mini Catalogue, but I made it my own by changing it up and using only the dies.
For my card, I coloured the girl with colours that I pulled from the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper that I used for one of the panels. I made two versions of the card depending on what DSP I had available.
My Different Version of the Card
For the sentiment, I pulled out the Christmas Labels Bundle and stamped it in Poppy Parade to match the card stock.
To add some interest to the background, I embossed the Old Olive card stock with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.
As a finishing touch to my card, I used my Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blend to colour some Rhinestone Basic Jewels and added them to my card.
