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!
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.

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!
Full Card Laid Flat
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.

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.

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!
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!
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!

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.

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.
Position of Brads on Back of Windmill
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)

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!
Sponge Dauber Technique to Add Second Colour to Stamp
A couple of Calypso Coral Artistry Blooms Sequins tie in the colour scheme and add a bit of sparkle.
Supplies:
Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Sweet As a Peach Bundle (155823), Picture This Dies (155559)

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)

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.
Pencil Sketch of Scene
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:

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!
Close Up of the 3D Pansy Die
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!

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 50thbirthday 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.

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 sweetSummer 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.
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!
Tip for Colouring Ribbon with Stampin’ Blends
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.
Close Up of the Front of My Twisty Thank You 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.

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.
