My Twisty Thank You Card

My Card Front
My Twisty Thank You Card

Hello Crafty Friends! I am excited to share My Twisty Thank You Card that I made using the beautiful Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! I made a similar card at a retreat and thought that it would be a perfect way to showcase this gorgeous DSP while providing an interactive fun fold!

Don’t you just love that when you open the card you get the first set of sentiments and then you keep opening and the sentiments flip to see the other side of them. When the card is fully open, you get all three sentiments displayed.

My Twisty Thank You Card in Action

The Details of My Card

For my card, I used the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle which includes the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set and the matching Penned Flowers Dies by Stampin’ Up! Since I needed 3 sentiments that went together, I used the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set as well. I have included my Twisty Card Template that you can download at the end of this post.

The Front of My Card

I stamped the colours of Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight and Blushing Bride for my flowers which matched the DSP and die cut them out with the matching dies. The Daffodil Delight piece of DSP helped to give a pop of colour to draw the eyes to the stamped flowers. I die cut the tag from the DSP as well. Love the Tailor Made Tags! They are so versatile! For my ribbon, I wanted it to match the colours of my card. So, I used my Dark Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend to colour the ribbon. This is a great way to add matching accents to your card!

I found that the DSP is quite busy. So, to make my focal point stand out, I added a Basic White scallop cut piece underneath it to help ground it. A couple of Highland Heather pearls and a Mint Macaron Genial Gem tie in the colours of my card.

Inside of My Card

For the inside of my card, I added two of the neutral simple patterns to the inside folds and then attached the sentiment. I made sure that as you flip it, the sentiments made sense: “For a true friend” “You are an inspiration” Thank you for your kindness”. I added some DSP to the back of the sentiment pieces since you see the backs as they flip. Tip: adhere top and bottom sentiment pieces and then the middle to get even placement between the pieces.

Molly’s Christmas in July Card

My Design Team Card
Molly’s Christmas in July Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing Molly’s Christmas in July Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. My card is using Molly’s Christmas Digital Stamp which comes with 3 stamps including Molly without dog, Molly with short ear dog and Molly with long ear dog. I used the short eared dog for my card.

Detail of My Card

For my card, I coloured Molly with her wagon of Christmas goodies and her sweet puppy with my Copic markers. Since the stamp seemed to have a country vibe, I decided to create a homey feel to my card. I brushed Vintage Photo Distress Ink on the edges and corners of my coloured image. The papers from Simple Stories really added to the country feel with the quilt design and shabby look.

I gave some dimension to the poinsettia die by cutting out the poinsettia 3 times. Once for the green base with the holly and twice in the red velvet. I snipped the unwanted pieces of red velvet away from my poinsettia. Then, I glued together the red velvet flowers and added some Metallic Pearls before I popped it up to overlap my focal point. I positioned the red poinsettia so that the green poinsettia below peeked out looking like the green leaves before they turn red. Since I die cut the poinsettia in the red velvet, I had the red berries left over to place in amongst the green holly leaves to add a bit of colour.

I knew that I wanted to use the wooden tree embellishment that I had in my stash but decided that it needed more to it. So, I created a tag with the Simple Stories paper that tied in my colours perfectly. However, the tag was too long. So, I die cut it once and then moving the die up and cut it again to create a smaller die. The red bow was fashioned from some fiber blends that I had in my stash. Star Dust Stickles, Gold and Clear Gelly Roll Pens add some sparkle with the red rhinestones.

My Hand-Penned Thank You Card

Thank You Card
Hand-Penned Thank You Card

Today I am sharing my Hand-Penned Thank You Card that is using the Hand-Penned Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I love getting the Suite Collections since you know everything will go together perfectly!

The Hand-Penned Suite Collection includes: 

  • Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set (10% off)
  • Penned Flowers Dies (10% off)
  • Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper
  • Genial Gems

I thought that a Collar Fold would show off both sides of the beautiful Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper! So, I used my Collar Fold Template (found at the end of this post) to measure my DSP for the cutting and folding. Next, I used adhesive to glue the flaps down so that they didn’t interfere with the die cuts.

I wanted the “Thanks” sentiment to fit in the area between the folds resulting in a card that can be either vertical or horizontal. I found that I needed a background behind the stamped flowers to make them stand out from the DSP and the stitched circle from the Painted Labels Dies worked well for it. A butterfly was a perfect accent as if it is flitting from flower to flower on the DSP. The butterfly was die cut from the large piece of Highland Heather making sure that it was in a location that would be covered by the DSP which is a great way to save paper! A scattering of Genial Gems was all this card needed since I wanted the fold to be the focal point.

Penelope Poppy Birthday Card

My Design Team card
My Penelope Poppy Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my second Design Team Inspiration Card for June using the cute Penelope Poppy by Conie Fong Art & Design.

My mom’s birthday is coming up and I thought that Penelope would make a pretty birthday card! I had fun colouring her with my Copic markers in bright reds to match her poppies. I pulled out all my poppy crafting supplies to make my card. Stampin’ Up! has several poppy dies and I couldn’t resist creating a poppy to set off the sentiment. Even the paper behind the die cut that she is layered on has poppies. I decided to create a Soft Suede frame to focus on her and the sentiment. A scattering of red rhinestones adds to the red poppy theme!

My Angel Messenger Card

My Design Team Inspiration Card
My Angel Messenger Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my first Design Team Inspiration Card for June using the sweet digital stamp Angel Messenger by Conie Fong Art & Design. This is such a pretty image and can be used for so many occasions like Birthday, Sympathy, Get Well, Thinking of You and so on.

For my card, I had some leftover paper from the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps 2021 Spring Mini Retreat Weekend that I really loved with soft pinks, greens and purples. So, I used that to pull out my colours for my Copic markers. Once I coloured her wings, I used Star Dust Stickles to make them sparkle. Of course, all Angels have radiant wings! I love this paper so much that I used it for all my dies cut pieces including the bird and branches. The paper pad even has beautiful tags. I couldn’t resist fussy cutting one out and adding it with a pretty bow. A perfect setting for my die cut bird! A scattering of rhinestones and sequins were the only embellishments that my card needed.

My Santorini Window Card

My Welcoming Window Card
My Santorini Window Card

Today I am sharing my Santorini Window Card using the Welcoming Window Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I love that you can make different cards depending on which sentiment you use. This one is a birthday card, but I also made a Mother’s Day card for my mom too.

When I saw this bundle, I immediately thought of creating a window that shows the inside of the card. I went with bright colours that were inspired by a photo from our Greece trip to Santorini with the bright pink bougainvillea flowers against a white building. 

Santorini
Pink Bougainvillea Flowers in Santorini

I stamped directly onto the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper that carried over to the new Annual Catalogue. The white stucco sheet of DSP was perfect for my card. The shutters and window frame just had to be in Pacific Point since that colour reminds me of Santorini! To create my window, I used a piece of wind sheet between the window panes. I even used the part of the DSP that I cut of the window on the inside of my card. Then you would not see the glue that I used to adhere the Pacific Point frame on the front.

Inside of my Birthday Card

For the inside, I stamped my images centred on the page so that I can be seen through the window.

My Secret Garden Card

My Secret Garden Design Team Card
My Secret Garden Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Secret Garden Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. This pretty digital stamp is called Sweet Annabelle. She is perfect for Mother’s Day, a birthday, thinking of you and so many other card occasions!

I love the Secret Garden Paper that I have in my stash and have been keeping it for a special card. So, I decided to use it for my card and coloured Annabelle with my Copic Markers in softs pinks, blues and purples to match. I added Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to the dots on her apron and on her hair bow for a little bit of sparkle.

For the card base, I embossed a die cut piece of Highland Heather with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder to give Annabelle a subtle floral backdrop. From that I layered the leaves so that they are wrapped around the tag that came with the paper pad. A few hydrangeas made with a punch tie in the colours of my colouring. For the pearl flower centres, I coloured them with my Y17 Copic markers to match the flowers in her basket.

April Showers Card

My April Showers Card
Avery in Rain Poncho

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my April Showers Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the cute digital stamp Avery in Rain Poncho.

April showers really does bring May flowers! May is here and the flowers are blooming! So, I couldn’t resist colouring Avery in her sweet rain poncho and her little friend with my Copic markers! I have had her coloured for a long time sitting on my desk waiting to be placed on the perfect card and I thought Spring is the perfect time for her!

For my card, I decided to create a circular card instead of my typical square/rectangle ones. A circular card suited the Sending Flowers Dies with its vignette of tulips and flowers in the bright spring colours. The Pleased as Punch DSP with the raindrops was perfect for my background of my card. I added a few more raindrops with the Glitter and Clear Epoxy Shapes to make the rain sparkle. More sparkle was added with the rhinestones in the flowers centers. I added Glossy Accents to her boots since all goloshes are wet from splashing in puddles!

Welcome Spring Card

My Design Team Card
Welcome Spring Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Welcome Spring Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. This digital stamp is called Bunny Tulips and comes with the bunny in the flower pot and two sentiments.

Spring has finally arrived in my part of the world! The tulips and daffodils are blooming, and the birds are singing. I love Spring and the renewal of life that it brings!

For my card, I coloured this sweet stamp with my Copic markers in Spring like colours of pink, yellow and blue. Did you know that you can have pink and yellow snails! Lol! I love how the bunny is peeking out of the flower pot! I used Glossy Accents on the pot to give it a shine and Stickles on the butterfly to make her sparkle!

For my embellishments, I had some paper tulips that were very long. So, I sniped them down and wrapped them like a bouquet you get in the store. I used some paper ribbon that I die cut into a square for the wrap. A piece of raffia tied around the bundle finishes this lovely bouquet off. I added a paper butterfly that matches the fence which was die cut using the Picket Fence Die-namics. I coloured a few of the pearls to match my card and added a few uncoloured ones to match the paper butterfly.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Sweet Maisy Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. This digital stamp bundle is called Maisy and Cory Mice Bundle and comes with six images including two mice and 4 sentiments.

I just coloured Maisy with my Copic markers for my card thinking it would make a sweet Mother’s Day card. My cosmos flowers came out vibrant and bright to create a nice cheery card. I used Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo Designer Series paper from the Brights Collection by Stampin’ Up! to match my bright and cheery colours. The doily I found loose in my stash and thought it created a perfect backdrop for Maisy. The hearts were punched out from the Please as Punch Designer Series Paper to be layered behind Maisy. I love the sentiments that come with the bundle and thought that “Just saying hello” could be used for so many different occasions. To add some bling to my card, I wanted to use some rhinestones but tie in the pink. So, I coloured them with my RV 19 Copic marker. Voila! Instant matching embellishments!

Happy Earth Day Card

My Design Team Card
My Happy Earth Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Happy Earth Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the cute digital stamp Ellie With Flower Pot.

For those that don’t know what Earth Day is, it is an annual celebration that honours the achievements of the environmental movement and raises awareness of the need to protect Earth’s natural resources for future generations. Earth Day is celebrated on April 22.

The world is our home and every year I like to support Earth Day in my own little way! I thought Ellie With Flower Pot was perfect for my Earth Day Card! So, I coloured her with my Copic markers.

Since this is an Earth Day card, I used recycled paper including some cardboard that I repurposed. The Green Stack is 70% recycled paper. The piece behind Ellie has such words as Wonderful World, Go Green, Blue Skies, Environment, Earth, Green Trees, etc. Perfect for an Earth Day card! The cardboard was some that I had kicking around the house. I pulled it apart and kept the middle corrugated part that I tore to fit my card. I just loved using all these recycled bits for my card!

The world dies and leafy vines really add to the Earth Day theme. For the sentiment, I stamped each letter individually in a haphazard way. I love the rustic feel of the blocked letters!

My Mother’s Day Card

My Design Team Card for Mother's Day using Kangaroo Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miler Creative Studios
My Mother’s Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with My Mother’s Day Card using the digital stamp called ‘Kangaroo’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. Mother’s Day is just around the corner and this stamp is perfect for that special mom!

I coloured this sweet digital stamp with my Copic markers in Spring like colours. Don’t you just love how the little Roo is hanging out of his mummy’s pouch! Sneak peek…the Designer Series Paper I used is from the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue that starts in May 2021! It was sitting on my desk with it’s pretty colours just begging to be used! Lol! The butterfly from the Brilliant Wings Dies was die cut from the DSP as well. The Pool Party Sheer Ribbon  tied in a pretty bow went perfectly with the DSP! The sentiment was embossed in white and then die cut with a scallop die from the Layering Circle Dies. A scattering of rhinestones, Wink of Stella and Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen add some sparkle to the card.

My Some Bunny Card

My Design Team Card
My Some Bunny Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Some Bunny Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. This card uses 3 different digital stamps including Bunny Daffodil Bundle which includes 9 stamps and Daffodil Flowers Bundle which includes 7 stamps.

I thought it would be cute to create a slimline card and use the Fields of Daffodils with the sweet Bunny Daffodil in front almost like he has picked those flowers just for you!

Sweet Bunny from Bunny Daffodil Digital Stamp
Sweet Bunny from Bunny Daffodil Digital Stamp

I decided to colour my daffodils in both yellows and white/yellows to give a variation to my field of daffodils. Daffodils can come in many different colours, but these are the colours that I have in my garden. My favourite is the white with yellow centres! To fit my field onto the slim line base, I cut it in half so that there is a slight gap which you can’t see behind the bunny. So, it looks like a continual field of daffodils! I did the same thing with the 6” pretty paper that you can just see peeking out as a border around the daffodils. This saves paper and you can’t see the gap hidden behind the bunny. A win-win situation! A couple of die cut butterflies with rhinestones and some epoxy water drops is all the embellishments that this card needed.

Hydrangea Thank You Card

My Hydrangea Thank You Card

Today is I am sharing my Hydrangea Thank You Card that I made for a swap using the beautiful Hydrangea Haven Bundle by Stampin Up! I love how the watercolour hydrangea pops out of the DSP and the Stitched Nested frame!

I swooned over the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper when I saw it! All my favourite colours are in it like Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Mossy Meadow to name just a few! So, I decide that I wanted to use some of the colours in the DSP for my hydrangea flower head and leaves.

The Process of the Watercolour Technique

Prepare to get all inky! For my card, I pulled out my Stampin’ Up! Ink Refills of Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray to use on my watercolour paper. I drop a couple of drips of each colour onto my work space and added a few spritzes of the Frost White Shimmer Paint (that was premixed with rubbing alcohol) and then a few spritzes of water. I then dragged my watercolour paper through the ink picking up the colours.

The Process of the Watercolour Technique

Once the ink was dried on the flower heads, I used my Blending Brush to add a bit more Gorgeous Grape to the raised petals to give it a bit more dimension.

I did the same steps for the stem and leaves using Old Olive and Mossy Meadow.

Here is a video that I presented to fellow demonstrators showing this technique:

I love this look since you can get different variations in the flowers. Here is an example of both light and dark flower heads.
