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 — Gold Gilded Leafing Embellishment, Stampin’ Up!

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!

Candy Cane Wishes Card

A Christmas Card with an elf holding a candy cane — Candy Cane Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Candy Cane Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the cute Tiny Elf Ellie.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I coloured Ellie with my Copic markers in traditional Christmas colours. She went perfectly with the Sweetest Christmas DSP by Stampin’ Up!, plus its theme was candy canes! Couldn’t get better than that!

The diagonal striped Real Red die cut piece allowed the DSP to show through. So, I matched the openings in the die cut to the DSP stripes which added to my candy cane striped theme. Even the die cut candy canes behind the sentiment were from the DSP.

The sentiment “Candy Cane Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses” summed up my card perfectly! I threaded some Garden Green ribbon through the die cuts holes in the sentiment piece. A flat jingle bell trinket tied with white Baker’s Twine mirrored her bell on her hat. I kept the tails of the twine long so that I could make them swirl on the card.

Some Red Rhinestones and Glossy Accents on the Candy Cane added some nice sparkle to the card.

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:

Christmas Stocking Bundle includes 6 images:

Image 1: Bauble Gnome Right JPG format only
Image 2: Bauble Gnome Left JPG format only
Image 3-4: Sentiment Tis The Season To Be Jolly JPG / PNG format
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.

Molly’s Christmas Stocking Card

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!

Happy Hauntings Halloween Card

A Halloween card with Girl trick-or-treater — Happy Hauntings Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Happy Hauntings Halloween Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Secret Girl Emma.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a Halloween card and colour her with my Copic markers like Coraline in the movie. But Emma would be great for Spring, back to school, birthday and so many more occasions!

I decided to watch the movie for colouring inspiration! It’s a very entertaining movie and a must see if you love not so spooky Halloween movies like me. So, I had a lot of fun colouring her blue hair and making her look like Coraline!

I had to add a spooky spider web panel with a glittery spider on it. The openings of the spider web allowed me to add some bootackular paper behind it! Lol! I thought it would be fun having her walking by a graveyard as she is trick-or-treating. The sentiment is from the Chit Chat and I just cut off the pointy speech bubble part to make it non-directional and more like a sentiment.

The Halloween candy banner was perfect for my card since she is trick-or-treating! A couple of sprinkles to match her jacket/boots and a black rhinestone were all the other embellishments this card needed.

My EEK It’s a Halloween Card

A Halloween Card with a witch and cat in pumpkin patch — My EEK It’s Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My EEK It’s a Halloween Card as my Design Team Inspiration for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Wynona Pumpkin Kitty. She comes in PNG and JPG formats.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to colour Wynona in bright Halloweenie (my technical term! Lol!) colours with my Copic markers. I have always loved bright greens with purples for a spooktacular Halloween card! These colours went perfectly with my Doodlebug Papers!

Since Wynona was in the pumpkin patch, I had to add more die cut pumpkins to layer behind her! The black/white twine was tied around them and the bow secured my fun witches hat charm!

The spider web doily created an ideal backdrop for my focal point of Wynona and her Kittie!

I added a few matching dots and the die cut “EEK” from gimmer paper to give my card some sparkle.

Wynona is such a sweet stamp with her cute Kitty in the pumpkin patch!

My Back-To-School Mini Slimline Card

A School Girl with an apple — My Back-To-School Mini Slimline Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Back-To-School Mini Slimline Card using the digital stamp School Girl Avery by Paper Nest Dolls as my Design Team Inspiration Card.

The Details of My Card

I can’t believe that it’s September and the kiddos are back in school! Where did the summer go??

I had fun colouring Avery with my favourite product, my Copic markers, to match my Doodlebug paper! Look at those gorgeous curls! They were a blast to colour in a strawberry blond! I decided to give her a “Mad Men” look with black glasses, but the red and green make her look like the schoolgirl she is.

The Photo Play Notebook die was a recent purchase, and I knew it would be perfect for my mini slimline card! I couldn’t resist using the practice letters paper from Doodlebug. Who else remembers practicing their letters in school? The die cut flags in various Doodlebug paper were from the Photo Play Die set.

The circle tag with the apple was something I picked up a long time ago and thought it suited my theme. Of course, I had to thread some linen thread through the hole and tied it with a bow! I strategically placed the tag so that an apple on the flag beneath shows through the die cut apple on the tag.

Don’t you just love the shaker apple! It’s a sticker from Michael’s that I had in my stash waiting for a back-to-school card. The stars are Doodlebug Sprinkles that tied in my colour scheme.

My Happiest of Birthdays Card

Birthday card with a girl waving a wand — My Happiest of Birthdays Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Happiest of Birthdays Card as my Design Team Inspiration for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Twinkle Emily Bundle. She comes in PNG and JPG formats with 5 stamps:

I used Twinkle Emily Left for my card in JPG format.

The Details of My Card

For my mini slimline card, I decided to colour Emily in bright bonny colours with my Copic markers to match the DSP. Nothing says “Happy” like these colours!

I love how Emily is dancing with her birthday wand! So, I used a die that shows movement like she is casting a birthday wish for happiness on the recipient’s birthday!

Next, I used my new favourite dies that create a tag that can also be used on a mini slimline card! These Photo Play dies create a lot of wonderful layering opportunities!

I used my trick of colouring rhinestones to match my colouring to add some sparkle. Star Dust Stickles was added to the star on the wand and her pompoms. While Clear Wink of Stella was added to the flower on her hat.

Colour Your World

August 4, 2022 8 Comments

A card with a Girl holding art supplies saying Fill your life with colors. — Colour Your World

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Colour Your World as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Artistic Leilani. She comes with 9 stamps including:

Artistic Leilani Left
Artistic Leilani Right
Artistic Leilani Left – Short Dress
Artistic Leilani Right – Short Dress
Sentiment: You Color My World
Sentiment: You Colour My World
Sentiment: Happy Birthday To An Amazing Friend
Sentiment: I am not a hoarder. I am an artist.
Sentiment: Art comes from the heart

The Details of My Card

A good friend of mine retired recently and she loves to colour. In fact, she was the one who got me into making cards and colouring! So, I thought that Artistic Leilani would be perfect for her retirement card!

For my mini slimline card, I coloured Leilani with my Copic markers using the colour scheme of the Cute & Crafty Paper Pad with its bright colours. It was idea for my crafty colouring theme.

I used the piece of designer paper that had the bands of rainbow colours and layered it beneath my quatrefoil die cut. Isn’t it neat how the different bands of colour peek through the white die cut!

I love the cute Copic marker die cut piece from the Odds and Ends that I layered beneath my sentiment. A row of rainbow-coloured hearts is the other die cut piece that I pulled from the Chit Chat. You must have hearts when it comes to what you love to do!

I used Wink of Stella on the flowers in her hair and Glossy Accents on her pink jar. The finishing touch was some glittery sprinkles that matched my colour scheme.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Hello My Friend Card using the sweet ‘Paris-Loving Laurie’ Digital Stamp By Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. This stamp was created by Rachelle for me when I was on her Design Team. I just love my Mini Me and had been meaning to colour her for a long time.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to colour with my Copic markers her top in this pretty blue colour that I love! Once I did, I discovered that it is a bang on colour match for the Stampin’ Up! colour Orchid Oasis! So, I pulled out the Tea Boutique DSP and used a floral sheet and an all-purpose pattern in Orchid Oasis. The hexagons were die cut from the DSP using the Beautiful Shapes Dies and pulled in the colours of the florals.

I stamped “my friend’ in black using the Hello Ladybug Stamp Set. It is clear photopolymer. So, I could die cut the hexagon and then stamp it. Next, I used the ombre hue of the Sweet Sorbet Glimmer Paper and foam adhesives sheets to die cut the Hello. To match the “hexagon hive”, I die cut a bee from some DSP and added Wink of Stella to its wings.

I added some ribbon through the hole of the tag matching the pink and Orchid Oasis metallic ribbon. The finishing touches were some matching matte dots and Clear Wink of Stella on the Eiffel Tower and the Stars.

Stayin Alive Disco Card

A card with a Disco Dancer on it — Stayin Alive Disco Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Stayin Alive Disco Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Disco Amara. 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

The Details of My Card

For my card, I used the Seventies Ciao Bella Paper again to create my mini slimline card. This piece of paper is the left-over piece from my Roller Disco Babe card! So, I was able to get 2 cards made using one sheet of the paper! I love the disco ball and the “Stayin Alive” words under her feet!! The “Funky” sentiment was snipped from the paper as well. Perfect for Disco Amara!

To match the glitz of a disco ball, I added stars in Gold Metallic Paper. I even added a star flourish behind Amara. Love the way the curls and swirls of the flourish mimic movement…almost like Amara is dancing off the card! The only other things the card needed was a scattering of rhinestones and Gold Gelly Roll Pen on her earrings.

My Roller Disco Babe

July 6, 2022 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Roller Disco Babe as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Roller Skating 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.

The Details of My Card

When I was a teenager, roller skating was all the rage and you needed those multicoloured striped socks, Nike red shorts and tunes on your Walkman! So, when I saw this stamp, it bought back so many memories! Lol!

For my card, I coloured Ellie with my Copic markers to match my roller disco paper! I love this paper! I have used it for so many of the Decade Dolls whether it be 60’s, 70’s or 80’s! The skates and cassette tapes (do you remember cassette tapes? Lol) on the paper were perfect for my theme.

The sentiment was from a retired Stampin’ Up! Stamp Set, but you could easily type this out on your computer and printing it. It was die cut using the Stitched Rectangles.

To add some sparkle to the card, I used Stickles on a stitched Real Red heart and Ellie’s pompoms on her skates. I also added a few gold glimmer stars and red rhinestones.

Glossy Accents was added to her Walkman case.

My Welcome Spring! Card

May 19, 2022 Leave a comment

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 Groovy Road Trip Card

May 5, 2022 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing A Groovy Road Trip Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Flower Power 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.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I coloured Ellie with my Copic markers to match my Seventies paper and her retro bus! This paper was perfect for my card with the musical revolution icons since Ellie has her dancing boots on and is off to Woodstock!

Of course, if Ellie is having a road trip, she needs a retro bus. This Retro Bus Kit comes with dies to build a mini booklet in the shape of a retro bus, but I decided to use it for my card. So, I just trimmed the three ring holes off the back piece. I had a ton of fun decorating my bus with the matching paper, flowers, peace symbol, windshield wipers, Road Trip die and so on. I even used a piece of a window sheet for the windows. For the metal parts, I brushed on some iron wax to give them a metal look.

The finishing touches were some wooden musical notes to match my theme and a couple of rhinestone coloured to match my card.
