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.

My Friends Forever Cards 

A floral card that says friends forever
My Friends Forever Cards

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Friends Forever Cards using the Abigail Rose Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! with two different backgrounds.

I was honoured to be asked to present my colouring with Stampin’ Blends at a Playdate for fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. I presented my colouring several times so that I had enough roses to create multiple cards. I have included links to some videos at the end of this post that cover my colouring techniques, as well as the card that I used as my swap for the event.

The Details of My Cards

I had a lot of fun using my Stampin’ Blends to colour the rose from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set!

Card with a solid pink background
Card with Timeworn Type Embossing Folder

Both of my cards have the same layout. The only difference is that I used the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder for one and the Dots & Spots Die for the other card with the Petal Pink card stock. Which do you like best?

Card with holes in the pink background
Card with Spots & Dots Die

I decided to go with the journaling paper from the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper since I didn’t want too much to detract from my focal point, but it still added interest. I used the largest stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies for my other piece of DSP. Since this pattern was a darker tone-on-tone, it made the coloured piece really pop without a lot of distraction.

The sentiment was heat embossed in white on Old Olive card stock and then fussy cut out with my Paper Snips.

A Petal Pink die cut floral piece was added behind the focal point adding interest to the journaling paper and balancing out the sentiment.

The Natural Finish Ribbon ran the width of the card grounding the focal point while adding interest. A scattering of Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels added sparkle to the card.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Abigail Rose Suite Collection (159052), Dots & Spots Dies (159164), Stylish Shapes Dies (159183)

Hello Springtime!

A Spring time card with a gnome in her garden
Hello Springtime!

Hello Crafty Friends! Welcome Spring! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing Hello Springtime! as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Watering Can Gnome from the Gnome Set. There are ten images in the set including:

  • Shears Gnome
  • Tulip Gnome
  • Shovel Gnome
  • Watering Can Gnome
  • Bird Bath
  • Tulips
  • Daises
  • Mushroom with Butterfly
  • Wheelbarrow
  • Gnome Home

Since today is the First Day of Spring, I thought I would create a Spring card with tulips blooming, birds singing and butterflies fluttering! For my card, I decided to create a scene using several stamps from the Gnome Set. 

The Details of My Card

I used Microsoft Word to layout my carefully planned scene so that when I added the Watering Can Gnome, she wouldn’t block any of the other images. I printed and coloured her with my Copic markers separately so that I could add some depth to my scene.

Once everything was coloured, I used the different sizes of the Blending Brushes by Picket Fence and a Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps cloud stencil to create my sky around the coloured images. It’s nice that the blending brushes come in different sizes! The smaller ones allowed me to get into areas close to the coloured images without having to mask them.

Tip: Use parts of digital stamps, like the birds from the birdbath, instead of the whole stamp to create interest.

For the grass, I wanted a straight part where the flowers were and then a hill to add interest. So, for the straight piece, I used the largest Small Mini Slimline Stackables Die to get the stitching along the top. The hill was from the Slimline Stitched Hillside Border Dies by Lawn Fawn. To create dimension and differentiate the two pieces of grass, I used dimensionals.

Tip: use your slimline dies for more than just slimline cards.

I tucked my coloured gnome into the hill part of the grass but added dimensionals behind her to give depth to my scene.

I added die cut stitched clouds to match the stitching on the grass. The sentiment was printed out on my computer and them die cut with another stitched die.

Clear Wink of Stella was added to the wings of the butterflies and Glossy Accents to her watering can. A scattering of yellow resin flowers in the grass added to my Spring theme.

Like TOTALLY Awesome Birthday

A Birthday Card with a girl dressed in 80's clothing
Like TOTALLY Awesome Birthday

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Like TOTALLY Awesome Birthday as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection 80’s Girl 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.

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

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to go with the bright neon colours of the 80’s. I usually don’t use these colours, but it was fun to go outside my comfort zone! I even used Copic markers that I haven’t used before! This might be dating me, but do you remember leg warmers and “Gag me with a Spoon” (said with my best Valley Girl voice)? Lol!

Doodlebug paper is always so bright and colourful that I decided to go with the Hey Cupcake paper. Perfect for my birthday theme in these bright colours! I also wanted a bright neon green and went with a piece of Parakeet Party DSP.

The Framed Florets Dies gave me a perfect backdrop for Ellie and I couldn’t resist using the bright pink sprinkles paper behind her to make her pop.

The sentiment was printed out on my computer. I used a fun script called Mystical Woods Smooth Script at 12pt which I cut apart so that I could run it beside Ellie. I popped up “Like”, TOTALLY” and “birthday” to give visual interest and to highlight these words since they are what my card is all about!

To add to the birthday theme, I added a banner that was die cut from the Doodlebug paper.

I found some bright sequins in my stash that went beautifully with my bright neon colours. Star Dust Stickles was added to the heart on her top, her earrings and the accents on her bow.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing Have a Flappable Birthday as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Flapper Girl 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

For my card, I used my Copic markers to colour Flapper Emma’s outfit in a very striking colour scheme of red and black to create a Roaring 20s theme. I love this Era with all it’s gorgeous outfits, Art Deco, and the dance/music scene!

The Mon Amour Papercrafting Paper by Graphic 45 had women with vintage style clothing on it, but I decided to go with the more neutral designs since I wanted the embellishments and Emma to shine. I felt that the Marvelous Squares Dies created an Art Deco feel with their die cuts adding to my Roaring Twenties theme.

Since Emma had a boa on, I decided to add some real feathers in white and red to tie in my colour scheme. Also, since it’s Mardi Gras week, I thought a mask would be a fun accent to add in front of the feathers. To bring out the details of the mask, I rubbed some white gold wax across it.

Don’t you love the sentiment! Perfect for my card since the Roaring 20s was all about living life to the fullest!

To add some sparkle, I used black and clear rhinestone sticker flourishes in opposite corners and a scattering of red rhinestones. I also added Star Dust Stickles to Emma’s boa and her headpiece. Glossy Accents was added to her pearls.

My Love Potion Card

My Love Potion No. 9 Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Love Potion No. 9 Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Love Potion Avery from the Love Potion Set. This Set includes 3 stamps which are Love Potion Amara, Love Potion Avery, and the Love Potion.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a fun faux shaker card. I have been wanting to make one for a while and thought this would a perfect card for it! My card is super easy and fast to make!

For those of you who don’t know what a faux shaker card is, I used a clear envelope over my project. I then added my shaker bits to the bag and sealed it. Easy peasy!

I love the Valentine Doodlebug paper that I used for the backdrop of my card. The sentiment piece was also from the Doodlebug paper pad, and I just framed it with my colour scheme.

Since I added sequins and hearts as my shaker pieces, I decided to go simple with the other embellishments. I added layered die cut hearts to one corner of the sentiment with a heart gem on top.

The Love Potion Set comes with the Love Potion by itself. So, I coloured it like the one Avery is holding and added it to another corner of the sentiment.

The finishing touch was Glossy Accents to her glasses and beaker and Stickles to the hearts in the potions.

My Make a Wish Card 

A Birthday Card with a girl and flowers in her hair
Make a Wish Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Make a Wish Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Leilani

The Details of My Card

Today is my niece’s birthday and I wanted to use this beautiful stamp on her card. For my card, I decided to colour with my Copic markers Leilani with blond hair and green eyes just like my niece. I also pulled the colours for the flowers from the pretty P13 paper that I used.

I received a card from a friend using the Pretty Pop-Up Dies by Stampin’ Up! and was inspired to use the circle die on my card. I love the way the beautifully intricate butterflies, flowers, and greenery designs pop up from the die giving lots of visual interest! The Glimmer Paper really makes the pop-ups just pop! Lol! I used a retired 3-5/8” circle die to cut out the pop-up piece.

I also cut out a dragonfly in the P13 paper using the dies and just snipped the wings to set it free!

The scallop piece was also die cut from the paper tying in her green eyes. I used my favourite leafy vine die cut twice wrapping it around the different layers on the top and bottom.

To add sparkle, I used a scattering of rhinestones and Clear Wink of Stella on the flowers.

Sending Snowflake Wishes

Sending Snowflake Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Sending Snowflake Wishes as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Snowflake Wishes. This digital purchase includes 5 stamps:

  • Image 1 and 2: Snowflake Wishes (girl facing left and right) (JPEG format)
  • Image 3: Poinsettia Flower (PNG format)
  • Sentiment 1: Wishing You A Magical Christmas (PNG format)
  • Sentiment 2: Sending Snowflake Wishes (PNG format)

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a winter birthday card for a good friend’s birthday that is next week. Since she is an amazing colourist, I wanted my colouring to be top notch! So, I went with a two-tone sparkly outfit something that was totally out of my comfort zone, but I knew she will appreciate it!

I love sparkle and it’s so easy to create with a white gel pen! Just make lots of small dots in the highlighted area and less in the shadows. Before using the white gel pen, I also added dots with my Copic markers.

The Doodlebug paper was perfect for the purple and blue/greens that I used and matched my wintery theme! 

I wrapped the glimmery snowflake border die around the side of my focal point and sentiment like it’s tying it all together! A scattering of more glimmery snowflakes adds to my theme. I couldn’t resist adding the Frosted Finishes Embellishment to the largest snowflake to give my card even more sparkle.

The finishing touches was Clear Wink of Stella on her wings, snowball, and flower in her hair. I also used Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on the snowflake trail and the snowflakes on the stamp.

Tips

When you colour two-tones, you need to make sure that the colours are close on the colour wheel to allow the blending at the transition point. I went with purple and blue/green since I knew my friend loves those colours and they suited my wintery birthday theme. The colouring of the transition doesn’t have to be perfect since the sparkle will hide any imperfections. Also, make sure to blend the lightest colour marker into the other lightest colour at the transition point. For instance, where they met, I blended BG 10 into V12 and vice versa to create a smooth transition.

Best Wishes Birthday Card 

Best Wishes Birthday Card - A Birthday Card with wisteria on it
Best Wishes Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Best Wishes Birthday Card using the Wisteria Wishes Bundle by Stampin’ Up! For my card, I decided to create a birthday card, but this card could also be used for a wedding or an anniversary.

The Details of My Best Wishes Birthday Card

Wisteria comes in all different colours, but I just love wisteria in different tones of purples! So, it was a given that I would use Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather for mine.

I decided to create several layers to build up to the wisteria focal point. The Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder created a nice blank background while creating a bit of interest. The beautiful filigree die from the Fancy Frames Dies added to the delicateness of my wisteria and guided the eye to my focal point.

My wisteria needed a background to separate it from the filigree frame. So, the largest of the Tailor Made Tags was perfect. I die cut it twice using Basic White and the script sheet from the Vellum Layering Designs. I wanted the tag to be popped up and by adding the Basic White behind the vellum, it made it sturdy enough to do so.

Tip: to add glue to vellum so that you do not see it, use a Silicone Craft Sheet with a sponge and dab liquid glue onto the back.

The sentiment was heat embossed in white on a flag from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

For embellishments, I added some Linen Thread and a scattering of Opal Rounds.

Wintertime Wishes Card

A card with a girl holding a snowflake banner
Wintertime Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Wintertime Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the sweet Emma with Snowflake Banner. She is perfect for a winter birthday or Valentine’s Day with her heart banner!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I coloured Emma with my Copic markers in one of my favourite colour combos of pinks, blues, and tans! I added Glossy Accents to the hearts on her snowflake banner and Stardust Stickles to her hat pompom, bows and the snowflakes.

The Snowed In Paper was perfect for my card since the knitted snowflake pattern created a cozy warm feel and suited my snowflake theme. Even the “Wintertime” sentiment was from the Paper Pad.

I had the Frostyville Corner Die from Memory Box in my stash and thought it would work for a mini slimline card. I love how it peeks put from under the sentiment creating interest over the knitted snowflake paper! A few more glimmery snowflakes from punches and a die were added for sparkle. To ground Emma, I added a stitched snowbank and ran some Glittered Organdy Ribbon over it to add more sparkle. I also added the ribbon across the top of the so that the sentiment hangs from it.

The finishing touch was a scattering of rhinestones on the knitted paper to add even more sparkle!

Christmas Snow Globe Wishes

A Christmas Card with a girl holding a snow globe.
Christmas Snow Globe Wishes

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Christmas Snow Globe Wishes as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Snow Globe Wishes which includes 2 stamps in JPG / PNG formats.

The Details of My Card

When I saw all those curls, I just had to colour her with red hair, but with red hair I needed a colour scheme that wouldn’t clash. So, the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper came to my rescue! It had beautiful poinsettias in yellowy-creams and greens! Perfect for my card!

So, I coloured her luscious curls red and used green for her dress. It was a bit tricky colouring the poinsettia so that it had colour, but still retained a white value. I used W3 and W1 with a light touch of Y32 to the centre of the petals and then the Colourless Blender (0) to soften the edges of the colour so that it faded to white in the highlights.

Since this was a Christmas card, I decided to add some sparkle to the DSP with Gold Gilded Leafing, Heat and Stick Powder and my Heat Tool. I even added a little of the leafing to the beautiful die cut circle behind the stamp. You must be careful with it since it is so light it floats everywhere! Don’t sneeze! Lol!

Adding gold leaf to the paper

The sentiment was heat embossed in gold and then die cut out with a die from the Pretty Pillowbox Dies by Stampin’ Up!

I added Stardust Stickles to the globe’s base, the snowman’s hat trim, her gold dress trim and the centre of the poinsettia. Glossy Accents was also added to the gold berries in her hair.

Don’t you think the white poinsettia with gold accents and the gold holly leaves were perfect for my card! The only other embellishments needed were some gold glitter dots!

Merry & Bright Christmas Wishes

A Fairy Girl Holding a Christmas Stocking
Merry & Bright Wishes Christmas Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Merry & Bright Christmas Wishes as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Molly’s Christmas Stocking Bundle and Bauble Gnome and Sentiment Bundle for the sentiment. 

Molly’s Christmas Stocking Bundle includes 4 Images:

  • Image 5-6: Sentiment May You Holidays Be Merry & Bright JPG / PNG format

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided that I wanted to use Molly With Wings since I used Molly Without Wings for another card. I will link to it at the end of this post. Also, I wanted to use non-traditional colours in my colouring to match my paper. I love the look of Navy, Green and silver! Very elegant!

Once I finished colouring her with my Copic markers, I added Stardust Stickles to all the trim and Stardust Gelly Roll Pen to her wings to make everything sparkle. I double matted her and the card base with silver foil and Night of Navy to tie in my colour scheme. The silver star beneath the sentiment added to my silver colour scheme and gave a backdrop to the sentiment which I used from the Bauble Gnome and Sentiment Bundle.  I thought the jingle bell border die was perfect since she had a jingle bell on her top and they just had to be silver foile as well! A scattering of rhinestones coloured with my Copic markers to match my colour scheme, added more sparkle.

The Details of My Card

I recently bought this slimline die that looks like a ticket stub and thought it would work perfectly for the two stamps that I coloured with my Copic markers! I place the Christmas Stocking on the smaller side and Molly on the larger side with the sentiment from Echo Park Frames & Tags set.

For the stocking side, I die cut a pine branch and “hung” the stocking with some ribbon. For Molly’s side, the sentiment suited perfectly the theme of my card. I added some wooden stars and snowflake embellishments to match the Snowflake Specialty Vellum. A scattering of Red Rhinestones tied in my colour scheme. The finishing touch was Star Dust Stickles on Molly’s and the stockings’ white trim and on the pinecones. Can never have too much sparkle for a Christmas card!

Mini Slimline Rose Card

A birthday card with a rose on it
Mini Slimline Rose Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I was honoured to be asked to present my colouring with Stampin’ Blends at a Playdate during World Card Making Day for fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. I am sharing my Mini Slimline Rose Card from the WCMD using products from the Abigail Rose Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to use the Cottage Rose Stamp Set since the artist has indicated where the shadows are with their line art. I thought it would be a good image for beginners. It also has two different areas that I could demonstrate the techniques of light-to-dark on the petals and dark-to-light on the leaves. I have included links to some videos at the end of this post that cover these techniques and more.

The Split Card Textures Dies were top of my list to buy when I saw them in the catty. I have seen a lot of cards made with them using the regular A2 (4 ¼” x 5 ½”) card base, but I thought a mini slimline card would be a fun alternative!

Mini slimline cards can come is different sizes to match your design/products. For instance, a 3” x 6” mini slimline is perfect for 6” x 6” paper packs. They also come in 3 ½” x 6” or 3 ½” x 6 ½”. They fit in No. 8 envelope (3-5/8” x 6 ½”) which you can pick up at any dollar store. For my card I choose 3 ½” x 6” since this size fitted the Split Card Textures Die well.

I love how the Split Card Textures Die allows the beautiful Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper to show through on one half of the card while allowing the rose to fit perfectly in the other corner! Some Petal Pink die cut flowers extend the focal point into the card. The Natural Finish Ribbon adds a nice backdrop for the sentiment. And a scattering of gems, one on the flower and two in the top right corner, tie in the colour scheme.

My Clockwork Anniversary Card

A card with a girl holding a pocket watch
My Clockwork Anniversary Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with My Clockwork Anniversary Card using the beautiful Steampunk Time digital stamp By Krista Smith Stamps for my 28th wedding anniversary card for my Hubby.

My hubby loves anything steampunk and I found this awesome digital stamp by Krista Smith Stamps that I thought would make a beautiful card for him!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to colour her with my Copic markers in muted tones to match my paper and my grungy steampunk theme. I haven’t used this colour scheme before but was very happy with how it turned out! I went with black hair with blue underpainting to give her a hip edge. Another first for me to colour like this!

Using Blue marker to add to black hair
Underpainting B24 to Hair

Once I finished colouring her, I blended some ink along the edges of the paper to give it a distressed look. I also blended ink along the edges of the design paper and sentiment to make them more worn. The paper from Stamperia was perfect for my steampunk theme since it had that industrial look to it.

Of course, I had to add the pocket watch die since she is holding a pocket watch. I rubbed some Brushed Iron Wax on it, the gears, and mats to make them look worn and to bring out the details on them. This is my new favourite product, next to my Copic markers, of course!

You can never have too many gears on a steampunk card! So, I pulled out my Tim Holtz idea-ology gears, as well as another small silver gear that I had in my stash. I love how the silver gear had a heart for the centre of it instead of a circle! Perfect for an anniversary card!

Glossy accents were added to her pocket watch and Star Dust Stickles was added to the heart for the sentiment.

Using another trick that I like to implement, I coloured the rhinestones with my Copic markers to match my colours.

A simple sentiment with another heart says it all!
