A Purr-Fect Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing A Purr-Fect Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Sophie and Kitty/Puppy Bundle. This Bundle includes 8 images:

The Details of A Purr-Fect Day Card

This week was the birthday of my Stampin’ Up! Guru who also loves to colour. Her name is Sofi and loves cats! So, I couldn’t resist creating a card with Sophie and her kitty! Sophie also comes with a puppy version if you are not a cat person! I created a card with the puppy version a few years ago and will post it at the end.

I love this sweet image by Conie Fong and had fun colouring it with my Copic markers to match the Belle Fleur papers by Photo Play. Then, I added Wink of Stella to her hair bow and blue trim since you must have sparkle on a birthday card! Lol!

I found this delicate doily in my stash and thought it gave her a perfect backdrop against the die cut green layer. Next, I layered the ribbon swirl so that it seemed to be emerging from behind the green layer. I love that look!

The finishing touch was to add some of my favourite punched hydrangea flowers with pearls around my sentiment and the ribbon swirl.

True North Canada Card

July 1, 2025 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy Canada Day! It’s Laurie here to share my True North Canada Card using the True North Strong & Free Stamp Set by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps.

The Details of My True North Canada Card

For my card, I had a lot of fun colouring with my Copic Markers the beaver, the leaves and these cuties. In fact, I coloured the girl and boy to match my hubby and me! Once that was done, I cut them out with my Brother Scan n’ Cut.

The O Canada 2 papers by PhotoPlay were perfect for my Canadian themed card! They even had matching ephemera that I used for the wording. This made making my card a breeze!

I added Wink of Stella to all the maple leaves including their shirts to make them shimmer. I also added Black Gelly Roll Pen to the beaver’s nose.

For embellishments, I added some red rhinestones to tie in my colour scheme.

My Mermazing Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Mermazing Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Rosealea Mermaid And Sentiment Bundle. This listing includes a total of 12 images in JPG and PNG format:

Title 1 & 2: Rosealea Mermaid Facing Left JPG/PNG

Title 7 & 8: Little Mermaid Facing Right JPG/PNG
Title 9 & 10: You are mermazing sentiment JPG/PNG
Title 11 & 12: Have a mermazing day sentiment JPG/PNG

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.

My Birthday Treat Card

February 11, 2025 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Birthday Treat Card using the sweet Daisy and Me by Mo’s Digital Pencil. I have a birthday twin whose birthday is the same day as mine! She loves her dogs and when I saw this new digital stamp, I knew it was perfect for her birthday card!

The Details of My Birthday Treat Card

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.

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.

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.

Peace & Joy Christmas Card

December 20, 2024 Leave a comment

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!

Celebrate Christmas Card

December 16, 2024 Leave a comment

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.

Two Christmas cards with different papers behind the girl holding the wreath — 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.

Warm Winter Wishes Card

December 5, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Warm Winter Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Sally and Little Squirrel.

The Details of My Warm Winter Wishes Card

This stamp was one of the first stamps by Conie Fong Art & Design that I bought! I just loved Sally with her little friend, and I knew that I wanted to colour her with some of my favourite Copic marker combos!

I had this gorgeous Ciao Bella Paper that I thought would be a perfect background for her! So, I decided to make a slimline card that would show as much of the wintery scene as possible including the house.

To tie in the pinks, I went with some Rose Red card stock on which I layered vellum with silver foiled snowflakes to tie in the wintery feeling of my card.

For my sentiment cluster, I layered several flags with the different papers that I used on my card. A wooden snowflake and some linen thread add to the rustic feel of my wintery scene.

Finally, for sparkle, I added some Balmy Blue punched snowflakes to my scene, as well as Star Dust Stickles to Sally’s hat’s pompom and the snow that she is standing on. Clear Wink of Stella was used on the flower on her hat and Clear Star to the polka dots on her scarf.

Autumn Wishes Alternative Cards

October 10, 2024 3 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Autumn Wishes Alternative Cards using the Autumn Abundance September 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit by Stampin’ Up! Since this weekend is our Canadian Thanksgiving, I decided to create two alternative cards for the holiday!

But, first, here are the three cards that the kit makes. Perfect for this time of year!

Three cards with Autumn themes — Autumn Abundance September 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit

The Details of My Autumn Wishes Alternative Cards

My Hey Pumpkin Card

For my first alternative card, I decided to do some colouring with my Stampin’ Blends using the girl with the pumpkins from the Warms My Heart Stamp Set. I thought she would suit my autumnal theme very well!

An Autumn card with a girl carrying pumpkins — My Hey Pumpkin Card

I used the front half of the smaller leaves card to create a focal point for my girl. To separate her from the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder that I used for the Wild Wheat background, I added a Cajun Craze die cut circle using the Spotlight on Nature Dies.

Next, I added the bronze foil leaf in the kit and two more leaves for which I used the add-on Every Celebration Dies. For embellishments, I added three Faux Glass Dots that matched my colour scheme.

Measurements:

Basic White Card Base:
- 8 ½” x 4 ¼”
- 3” x 2 ¼” (to stamp girl)
Wild Wheat:
- 5 ¼” x 4”
- Scrap for leaf
Cajun Craze:
- 2-1/8” x 2-1/8”
- Scrap for leaf
Kit Leaves Card Front:
- 4” x 4”
Other Pieces from Kit:
- Bronze Leaf
- Sentiment

My Triple Panel Card

For my second alternative card using the Autumn Abundance September 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit, I made a triple panel card.

Since I had leftover the back of the smaller card, I used it for the front of this card. For the front panel, I die cut a Poppy Parade circle using the Spotlight on Nature Dies to layer behind my sentiment. I added some Linen Thread tied into a bow for my embellishment.

I made the Cajun Craze mat a little longer and scored it to create a tab that I tucked in behind the log DSP.

Another Autumn card with nature elements — My Triple Panel Card

For the middle panel, I used the front of the log card base and then added a sentiment with stamped off leaves in Cajun Craze, Wild Wheat and Poppy Parade.

Inside of Card — Panel 2 of My Triple Panel Card

Since I planned to send this card to my family for Thanksgiving, I wanted the final panel to say, “Happy Thanksgiving” and the sentiments from The Gift of Fall August 2019 Paper Pumpkin Kit were perfect for my card! They were stamped in Cajun Craze and Poppy Parade. One final leaf was stamped in Wild Wheat beside the sentiment.

Inside the final panel — Final Panel of My Triple Panel Card

Measurements:

Cajun Craze:
- 8 ½” x 4 ¼”
- 4 ¼” x 6” with score mark at 4 ¼” (tuck tab behind log DSP)
- 3 ½” x 3 ½”
Basic White:

My Trick or Treat Card

October 2, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Trick or Treat Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Penelope Pumpkin from the Wynona Witch, Candy Sally, Penelope Pumpkin Bundle.

This purchase includes 5 Images:

Wynona Witch V1 – With Pumpkin Basket
Candy Sally Left
Candy Sally Right
Penelope Pumpkin V1-With Polka Dot Bag
Candy Sally with Trixie Right

The Details of My Trick or Treat Card

I just love Penelope in her little pumpkin costume going trick or treating with her sweet friend! I decided to colour her in traditional Halloween colours with my Copic markers to match the Doodlebug papers.

For my scene, I went with a spooky house and graveyard in front of it. Of course, she must go through the graveyard to visit the house and, you must have an eerie full moon on Halloween night! Lol! To make my moon even more eerie, I brushed Crushed Curry Ink along the edges. One thing that is cool, is that my moon glows in the dark! Finally, I added a cute 3D bat to my scene.

Next, I added the Trick or Treat paper behind my scene instead of a traditional night sky as an homage to her activity. In addition, I added the striped paper in matching colours behind the words Trick or Treat at the bottom of my card.

Finally, to add some sparkle, I used Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on her lollipops and Clear Wink of Stella to her bag. For the polka dots on her bag, I used a White Gelly Roll Pen.

My Flutterby Birthday Card

August 18, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Flutterby Birthday Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Flutterby Daisy.

This purchase includes 5 Images:

Image 1 & 2: Flutterby Daisy (Girl facing right/left) JPEG format
Image 3: Flutterby Daisy – without daisy flower
Sentiment 1: Fluttering by with a friendly hi
Sentiment 2: Enjoy the simple things

The Details of My Flutterby Birthday Card

For my card, I decided that I wanted to use Flutterby Daisy facing left with her daisy. I loved colouring her and her daisy with my Copic markers in bright cheery colours to match my Mintay papers. Flutterby comes with one butterfly, but I thought a couple of extra butterflies would add a touch of fun to my card!

Close Up of Fairy — Close Up of Flutterby

I found this beautiful Daisy Circle Frame a while back and thought it would be perfect for the backdrop of Flutterby! So, I die cut it in a colour that matched my colouring of her daisy and the papers.

Since I wanted to create a birthday card, I used the sentiment from the Dandelion Wishes stamp. Perfect for a fairy birthday card! Though I did use “Fluttering by with a friendly hi” for the inside of my card.

Next, I added a butterfly die cut border of the Mintay papers along the bottom of the card with it overlapping the daisy in places hiding the stem end of the coloured daisy.

Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of Berry Burst Shimmer Gems around my card.

My Poinsettia Season Card

August 7, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Christmas in July might be over, but I am still adding to my Christmas card supply. Lol! So, I am sharing My Poinsettia Season Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Holly Poinsettia.

The Details of My Poinsettia Season Card

I loved colouring Holly with her poinsettias using my Copic markers! She is such a sweetie!! I used colours to match the gorgeous Mintay paper! To add some sparkle, I used Star Dust Stickles on her ear muffs and pom poms on her mittens.

Of course, I had to use a tag from the matching Paper Elements for my backdrop of Holly. To tie in the greens of my colouring, I gave the tag a mat with one of the papers in the pad.

The Paper Elements also came with some envelopes that you make. I thought the floral envelope with the blue background perfectly matched my colour scheme. So, I trimmed a piece off the envelope and cut it in half. These pieces I matted with white and placed them in opposite corners of my tag so that they are peeking out from my focal point.

Since Holly had poinsettias, I decided to use my Poinsettia and Holly Punch by Nellie to make some paper flowers. The flowers were accented with Gold Glitter Enamel Dots. The gold centres mirrored the gold Gelly Roll Pen that I used on Holly’s poinsettias.

The sentiment was stamped in black and die cut out with matching the die.

Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of red rhinestones around my card.

My Happy Bee-Day Card

July 3, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Happy Bee-Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Lil Bee Amara! Isn’t she a cutie in her bee outfit with her little bee friend!

The Details of My Happy Bee-Day Card

For my card, I decided to use the Let It Bee Paper by Graphic 45. It was perfect for my bee theme with sunflowers and bees on it! Plus, all the words about bees made it a must!

Next, I coloured Amara and her sunflowers with my Copic markers. I had a lot of fun colouring her beautiful skin tone and her hair with all those curls!

I knew that I wanted to use the honey pot die with her. So, I die cut the honeycomb paper for the jar and decided to keep the top as Cherry Cobbler card stock so that her bee friend would show up well. The bee crystal sticker was from my stash and had been waiting for the perfect card. It fit perfectly on the honey pot letting everyone know it had honey in it.

For my card base, I used the Honeycomb Quilt Top Dies by Concord & 9^th to add interest. I also tucked in some Honeycomb Clusters behind the honey pot.

The sentiment was heat embossed in white on Basic Black card stock and die cut out.

Finally, I added a scattering of red rhinestones and a paper sunflower to mirror my colour scheme and theme. I used Star Dust Stickles on the sunflower centres and her Bee Antenna-Headband and Clear Wink of Stella on her wings.

Birthday Blossom Wishes Card

June 26, 2024 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Birthday Blossom Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Little Blossom. She is perfect for a birthday card for a special someone!

The purchase includes 3 Images:

2 Image: Little Blossom
3 Image: Little Blossom without background

The Details of My Birthday Blossom Wishes Card

I was given as a gift this beautiful handmade paper in rich reds and golds and knew I wanted to use it as a backdrop for Little Blossom on my card. So, I coloured her with my Copic markers in red and blacks with golds for the trim. I added green to the leaves on her dress and some of the balloons to break up the colours.

For my card, I had a gorgeous bloom border die from Paper Rose that looked like the flowers on her dress. So, I die cut Gold Foil Paper to match the golden trim on her dress. To add interest behind the bloom die, I embossed a piece of Basic White card stock with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder. This gave it a slight texture without interfering with the beautiful golden flowers.

Next, I added a piece of floral black and white DSP to balance out the other side. Again, I thought the flowers looked similar to the flowers on her dress.

Now for my focal point! I used the beautiful handmade paper behind her and added some greenery to tie in the green balloons. The finishing touch was to add a few white blooms to brighten up my card. For the pearls in the centres, I coloured them with my Y38 Copic marker.

To add a sparkle, I added a scattering of Red Rhinestone and Clear Wink of Stella on her hair ties, the flowers and gold trim of her dress.

Just Me and My Puppy

June 24, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! It is starting to feel like summer! So, I am sharing Just Me and My Puppy as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Emmas Sweet Friend enjoying an ice cream cone together!

The Details of Just Me and My Puppy

I just love this sweet digital stamp which reminded me of my puppy So, I coloured him with my Copic markers to look like my Jesse Pup. To match Jesse, I coloured Emma to look like me so that my card looked like my puppy and me! So fun!

For my card, I decided to use the Pampered Pooch Collection by Photo Play with its bright colours and puppy theme. Even the sentiment “furrever friends” is a sticker from that collection.

Next, I added a die cut white wooden fence using the Wood Textured Specialty Paper to add some interest to the background and balance out my card.

Since they are sharing an ice cream cone, I thought I would build a double scooped one with sprinkles and a heart rhinestone that I coloured red with my Copic marker. I even coloured the punched-out ice cream with my Copic markers to give it definition.

To balance out the ice cream cone, I added a MDF heart with a paw print inside which I placed beside my sentiment and layered a die cut heart beneath it.

Finally, for embellishments, I added a scattering of red rhinestones and used Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen for the dog tag.

Birthday Shellabration Card

June 14, 2024 9 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Birthday Shellabration Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Seashell Rosealea. I love this image so much I have used her for another card awhile back. I will include a link at the end of this post to my other card.

The Details of My Birthday Shellabration Card

For my card, I decided to colour with my Copic markers Rosealea in Summer colours matching the Doodlebug papers. I had a lot of fun colouring her hair and all her beautiful shells! Once she was done, I used a blending brush to add some Crumb Cake “sand” along the edges.

To mirror her shells, I used a cluster of shell die cuts with other ocean elements in opposite corners. The starfish in the sentiment cluster was brushed with Peach Pie Ink to give it dimension and look like the starfishes in my colouring. I also brushed Crumb Cake Ink to the Basic White coral rounds to give them dimension and a sandy look. I couldn’t resist using a leaf trinket with my sentiment cluster to highlight it!

A border of shells peeking out behind her were embossed with my Embossing Mat to make the details really stand out. Then, I brushed Crumb Cake Ink to bring out the details even more. Tip: leave the die cut shells in the metal frame, brush the ink over the frame so that only the raised areas get the ink. This keeps the ink off the other areas making the raised areas stand out even more.

To add a sparkle, I added a scattering of Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls, Clear Wink of Stella on the flowers and Star Dust Stickles to the pearls in her hair.
