Birthday Card with a Girl with Orchids in her hair — My Orchid Beauty Birthday Wishes

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Orchid Beauty Birthday Wishes as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Alanna. Don’t you just love that serene look she has!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to use some pretty papers with pastel colours from The Paper Boutique. So, I coloured with my Copic markers Alanna to match them. That blue is so pretty that I had to give her eyeshadow to match her dress!

I went with several die cuts like the leafy vine, the delicate pink frame, and the butterflies to decorate my card. The sentiment is from a matching paper pad and went perfectly with my colours. A scattering of gems and a gem in the centre of each butterfly added some sparkle. A finishing touch was Wink of Stella on the orchids. Such a beautiful image!

My Flowers for You Card

A card with a dragon holding a bouquet of flowers — My Flowers for You Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Flowers For You Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Dragon Bouquet and Sentiment Bundle. This stamp is so versatile and can be used for so many occasions! It includes 6 images and comes in PNG or JPG:

Dragon Bouquet
Thinking Of You Sentiment
Have A Beautiful Day
Hello Friend
Just Because
Flowers For You Sentiment

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided on the MME paper since I love the rustic wood texture and the collage on the paper! There is a sentiment on it under his feet, “start every day with a smile”. I thought this was such a sweet sentiment and would bring a smile to the recipient

From there, I picked out my Copic marker colours from the paper to colour my cute dragon and the bouquet. I also coloured some extra flowers that you get in the bundle in the colours I used for my bouquet. The sentiment from the bundle was die cut into a banner and layered with the coloured flowers and another banner below.

For embellishments, I used brass butterflies, clear epoxy dew drops and Clear Wink of Stella on the flowers.

My Welcome Spring! Card

Card with girl holding a daffodil — My Welcome Spring! Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I was so excited to present My Welcome Spring! Card at the Paper Nest Dolls Spring Coloring Retreat (Online) recently using Lulu with Daffodil!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought a fun fold card would be something different than a regular card. So, I created a side easel card base! I love how it folds up to display part of the card front!

We had a lot of fun colouring Lulu with our Copic markers at the Retreat. The attendees learned how to add texture to the daffodil to make it pop!

The beautiful papers from the Paper Boutique were perfect for the theme since they had daffodil and tulips on them!

I couldn’t resist using the Daffodil Dies from Stampin’ Up! in the background to set off Lulu!

If you haven’t been to a Paper Nest Dolls Retreat, you are missing out! You learn so much from other designers (even I learn things!) and there is always fun and games going on, not to mention the swag bags!

A Mother's Day Card with tulips in rain boots — My Happy Mother’s Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Happy Mother’s Day Card using the Flowering Rain Boots Bundle by Stampin’ Up!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and the Flowering Rain Boots Bundle would be a perfect match! And I couldn’t resist using the tulip border die that comes in the Flowering Tulips Bundle!

I pulled my colour scheme of Highland Heather, Fresh Freesia and Evening Evergreen from the DSP. I love that the coordinating dies cut out the stamped pieces! By adding a piece of vellum under the boots, a focal point was created, but still allowed the die cut tulip border to show through. The sentiment was heat embossed with white on Highland Heather and then die cut with one of the All Dressed Up Dies. A scattering of the sweet Brass Butterflies finished the card off nicely.

My Give Peace a Chance Card

Card with a Hippie Girl — My Give Peace a Chance Card Closed

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Give Peace a Chance Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the new release Decade Collection Hippie Ellie. With everything going on in the world right now, I thought this was a very appropriate card for the times!

The Details of My Card

I had a lot of fun colouring Hippie Ellie with my Copic markers! Don’t you just love her jeans with the patches and her suede fringe vest! She is such a groovy hipster!

For my card, I found this perfect paper that had a Seventies theme! I loved it so much that I wanted to use a whole sheet for my card front! So, I used a fun fold called a Z-Fold Card for the card base, but I reversed it into a backwards Z. I wanted the love bug to show on the front with Ellie when the card is closed. This type of card folds up to a regular A2 card but allows for lots of room to decorate! It also is neat how you open it, and the paper continually keeps going!

Since the paper was so detailed, I only used a few dies to dress it up such as the Love, Peace, daisies, and peace sign. They were from the Retro Bus by Elizabeth Craft Designs. I bought this set planning to use them for the Decade Dolls and they were perfect for Hippie Ellie! A couple of sequins and glimmery dots for the flower centres was all the embellishments this card needed.

Card Open — Card Showing Fold Standing Up

Measurements

Card Base: 5 ½” x 8 ½”, score at 4 ¼” and 2 1/8”. Cut the Seventies 6” x 6” paper to 5 ¼” tall, then cut at 2” and 4:”. You could leave the last panel for your sentiment, but I decided to add a fourth panel using a 2” piece of floral rice paper as a background for my coloured stamp.

Card with a bear holding a rose — My Happy Mother’s Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Happy Mother’s Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Bella With Rose.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought Bella With Rose would make a perfect Mother’s Day Card! She is such a cutie and Mother’s Day is only a few weeks away!

I decided to go with soft pastel colours to match the beautiful Spring papers from The Paper Boutique. The Stitched with Love Paper Pad matched this colour scheme well and it had purple roses that I used for inspiration to colour my rose.

To me nothing says Mother’s Day like a beautiful doily and this one had roses on it. Perfect for my rose theme and to center my focal point!

I have been wanting to use the beautiful rose die from Paper Roses for a while and thought this was ideal for my card!

A scattering of pink pearls and butterflies to match my paper completed my card.

My Easter Blessings Card

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!

Heartfelt Sunflower Wishes Card

A card with a Sunflower on it — Heartfelt Sunflower Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Heartfelt Sunflower Wishes Card using the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle by Stampin’ Up! This bundle is currently on sale for the March 2022 Savings Are in Bloom Sale. Check it out in my online store: https://www.stampinup.ca/products/celebrate-sunflowers-bundle-(english)?demoid=2103981.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I wanted to show my support for the Ukraine people. My heart bleeds for them and anyone who are affected by this war! So, I decided to create a sunflower card since it is their national flower. I also decided to use Bumblebee and Pacific Point as my card stock choices to reflect the colours of the Ukrainian flag.

To highlight the sunflowers, I stamped in Pacific Point the sky stamp from the Oceanfront Stamp Set a couple of times on the Basic White card stock. I love how it peeks out from the top die cut sunflower! Once that was done, I layered my pieces. The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder and punched out with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. A scattering of epoxy shapes represents the “tears of the people” in my mind.

I have created several cards with this bundle in the past. I will include links to the cards at the bottom of this post. There is even a quick video on YouTube explaining the advanced colouring technique I used on the sunflower.

A Card with a Windmill on it — Flowering Fields Birthday Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Flowering Fields Birthday Wishes Card using the Flowering Fields Stamp Set and the Windmill Fields Dies by Stampin’ Up!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought it would be fun to create a Centre-Step Card, so it looks like the windmill is popping out of the tulip fields. Of course, if you have a windmill, wouldn’t it be fun to make it interactive! So, I added one of the round brads through the blades and into the windmill base.

Tip – to keep the brad from showing from behind the windmill on the card, folded down the arms at angle.

The windmill was popped up with dimensionals to allow the back of the brad to have room.

I love the beautiful Flowering Fields DSP and used it for the grass/sky piece behind the windmill and the tulip fields! I pulled the colours from the DSP for my sentiment and for the ribbon. A couple of the sweet butterflies balanced out the ribbon on the sentiment.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Flowering Tulips Stamp Set (157672), Windmill Fields Dies (157683)

Inks: Highland Heather Classic Stampin’ Pad (147103)

Paper: Pear Pizzazz (131201), Basic White (159276), Crumb Cake (120953), Soft Suede (115318), Flowering Fields 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (157670)

My Peachy Keen Birthday Card

A Birthday Card with Peaches on it. — Peachy Keen Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Peachy Keen Birthday Card using the Sweet As a Peach Bundle which includes the Sweet As a Peach Stamp Set and the matching Peach Dies.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I love the colours of the pretty You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper and decided that I wanted to pair it with the Picture This Dies.

For the sentiment, I positioned the die cut Calypsol Coral piece, without adhering it, on the card base and stamped the sentiment directly onto the Thick Basic White card base. Next, I popped up the Calypso Coral card stock with dimensionals onto the card base. I then used liquid adhesive on the DSP shifting them into place to allow them to peek through the two of the openings. For the Balmy Blue sentiment, I white embossed it with my heat gun to make it pop.

I decide that I wanted the Pear Pizzazz leaves to be exploding from the Picture This Dies frame onto the sentiment with the stamped peaches layered on top.

For the peaches, I used a technique where you use a sponge dauber to add a second colour to your stamps and create dimension. I stamped the peaches from the Sweet as a Peach stamp set twice. The top three are in Pale Papaya. The bottom three are Pale Papaya with Calypso Coral daubed on the edges after inking them with the Pale Papaya. What a difference it makes!

My Happy Thanksgiving Card

October 9, 2021 Leave a comment

A Thanksgiving Card with Leaves on It — My Happy Thanksgiving Card

Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Happy Thanksgiving Card using several dies, including Tailor Made Tags Dies, Giving Gifts Dies, Picture This Dies and Word Wishes Dies to create my festive card.

For my card, I wanted to create a very Autumnal card for this time of year. So, I pulled out Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Bumblebee and Old Olive to create my Fall wonderland card. I stamped each leaf off before stamping it onto my tag. I wanted a subtle background for my die cut word and leaves. The HAPPY was white embossed onto a scrap of Cherry Cobbler and layered onto a pile of leaves. I added to the tag, the Gingham Ribbon, and the Linen Twine which I frayed to create a rustic look.

The Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper has the perfect Fall paper in it that was destined for my card. I thought that the Picture This Dies would be a great way to have this DSP poking out. A scattering of die cut leaves and rhinestones make this card feel like there is movement to the falling leaves.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Tailor Made Tags Dies (155563), Giving Gifts Dies (156563), Picture This Dies (155559), Word Wishes Dies (149629), A Wish for Everything Stamp Set (149320)

My Welcome Fall Card

September 22, 2021 Leave a comment

Welcome Fall! Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I was honoured to have been asked to present my colouring using Stampin’ Blends at a playdate this past weekend for fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. So, I thought I would share my card and first YouTube video with you on the First Day of Fall. For My Welcome Fall Card, I used the Right Behind You Stamp Set and a ton of Stampin’ Blends including the Color Lifter which I used a lot in this video!

I mentioned another video and notes in my presentation. I have included those notes and several videos from that presentation at the end of this post for your reference.

For my card, I stamp multiple times the girls riding the bicycle in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on my Stamparatus to get a good coverage of ink on their pants. Next, I lightly drew in as a guide a simple scene with a sidewalk, a tree, some hills, and clouds. Once I did that, I started my colouring. Here is my very first YouTube video so that you can follow along:

My Pansy Hello Card

September 7, 2021 Leave a comment

My Stampin' Up! Card Using the Pansy Petals Suite — My Pansy Hello Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Pansy Hello Card using the Pansy Petals Suite which includes the Pansy Patch Stamp Set, Pansy Dies, Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper and Bumblebee Trinkets by Stampin’ Up! Don’t you just love the details of that layered 3D pansy!

For my card, I knew that I wanted to use the Basic Border Dies with the beautiful DSP! So, I created an envelope liner look that allowed me to wrap the Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon around it. I pulled my colours from the DSP to create my gorgeous pansy. There are so many different colour combinations that you can create with the dies. There is even a die that can cut out some of the pansies in the DSP. I embossed the sentiment in white on a strip of Bumblebee card stock that I had left over from another project. I always save them just in case I can use them. What do you do with these scraps? The finishing touch was the sweet Bumblebee Trinket!

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Pansy Petals Bundle (155674), Basic Borders Dies (155558)

Inks: VersaMark Ink (102283)

Paper: Fresh Freesia (155613), Basic White (159276), Blackberry Bliss (133675), Bumblebee (153077), Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (155807)

Sofi’s Happy Birthday Card

September 2, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing Sofi’s Happy Birthday Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. My card is using the sweet Feeling Fabulous. I gave this card to a good friend whose 50^thbirthday was yesterday. She is my Stampin’ Up! Guru, but loves to colour too! Happy Birthday Sofi!

Details of My Card

For my card, I pulled the colours from the paper that I used for my Copic combinations. There are small bits of blue here and there on the paper, so I decided to make that my main colour for her dress to make her pop from the background. For the roses, I coloured them and added Star Dust Stickles to give them some “glistening dew” on the edges.

I love the Rose & Brick Border Die from Paper Roses! It is so delicate and detailed! I had just bought it in anticipation of creating my card. Placing the paper behind it and popping up the main panel with dimensionals really sets it off nicely. To balance the coloured stamp and border die, I added a couple of flags in complimentary colours to the top left-hand corner. I thought it would make the sentiment stand out by having it fly horizontally to the other flags. A couple of blue rhinestones and a yellow paper flowers tie in my colour scheme.

My Summer Dreams Card

August 14, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I can’t believe that Summer is almost over! So, in the hopes of making the summer last a little bit longer, I am sharing My Summer Dreams Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. My card is using the sweet Summer Dreams. This image would be perfect for so many occasions like Birthday, Mother’s Day, Thinking of You, Wedding to name just a few!

Details of My Card

For my card, I coloured this sweet image with my Copic markers to match the beautiful Botanical Tea paper by Graphic 45. I had a lot of fun colouring all those waves and curls in her hair and look at those pleats! Omgoodness! Such colouring fun!

I have been wanting for a while to use the Stitched Greenery Dies by Stampin’ Up! and thought that they would make a perfect subtle mat for my focal point. I die cut the Botanical Tea paper and my coloured image with the Labels Seventeen in two consecutive layering dies. I used my Blending Brush to add some Vintage Photo ink to the edges of all my paper and die cuts. Next, I turn the larger one on its side and punched two holes in it at one end and threaded ribbon through the holes for an unexpected touch.

To add to the botanical theme, I added a leaf trinket so that it looks like it is attached to the ribbon. I found a paper flower that matched my colouring perfectly. To add some matching blue embellishments, I coloured rhinestones with my B34 Copic markers and scattered them here and there.

Hair: YR31/E33/E35/E37
