Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Game on Platform Card using the Game on Limited Edition Box by Kindred Stamps!
One of my brother’s recently had a birthday and he loved playing Super Mario Brothers when he was growing up. I also bought the Lawn Fawn Platform Pop-Up Dies and the Platform Pop-Up Add-On Dies recently. So, I thought a platform card using his favourite characters would be a fun card to send him!
The Details of My Card
I coloured several characters with my Copic markers in the bright primary colours from the game. Then, I assembled the platform dies and add-on dies to create my scene. The dies come with everything you need to create a scene. I used the grass and hill dies from the platform and added the sun and clouds dies from the Add-on. Once my platform was completed, I just had to add my characters.
Side View of Platform Card
The only embellishment I used was a “game on” puffy sticker on the front.
I love how the platform folds down for mailing and fits perfectly in a 5 ½” x 5 ½” envelope!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Bee’s Knees Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the super cute Bee With Heart Bundle.
This Bundle includes 5 images:
Title 1: Bee With Heart – Boy (PNG)
Title 2: Bee With Heart – Girl (PNG)
Title 3: Flower Accessory for Bee (PNG)
Title 4: For My Sweet Friend Sentiment (PNG)
Title 5: Sending Hugs Sentiment (PNG)
The Details of My Card
These bees are such a fast colour with my Copic markers and perfect for a super cute Valentine card, but they could also be used for an anniversary, a wedding, even a birthday!
I decided to use the quilt top die and the individual hexagons that you can place where you want to create a fun shaker card. The Graphic 45 paper with the honeycomb pattern, bees and flowers made it feel like you are glimpsing into a busy hive. I used several different shaker elements, especially hearts, to tie in my Valentine theme.
Close Up of Boy Bee
The Bundle comes with sentiments, but I wanted to heat emboss with white on black card stock. I love the contrast of white on black especially for my card! The stamp comes with several great bee sentiments that can be used for all occasions, but I used one appropriate for a Valentine card.
I printed the Flower Accessory several times and coloured them with my Copic markers. To add depth to the flowers, I used an Embossing Stylus Tool and rolled it around the flowers on the Stampin’ Pierce Mat. This made the edges curl up to create dimension. The only embellishment I used was a bumblebee trinket. To add sparkle, I used Clear Wink of Stella on their wings and Stickles on the hearts that they carry.
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Love Potion No. 9 Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Love Potion Avery from theLove Potion Set. This Set includes 3 stamps which are Love Potion Amara, Love Potion Avery, and the Love Potion.
The Details of My Card
For my card, I decided to create a fun faux shaker card. I have been wanting to make one for a while and thought this would a perfect card for it! My card is super easy and fast to make!
For those of you who don’t know what a faux shaker card is, I used a clear envelope over my project. I then added my shaker bits to the bag and sealed it. Easy peasy!
I love the Valentine Doodlebug paper that I used for the backdrop of my card. The sentiment piece was also from the Doodlebug paper pad, and I just framed it with my colour scheme.
Since I added sequins and hearts as my shaker pieces, I decided to go simple with the other embellishments. I added layered die cut hearts to one corner of the sentiment with a heart gem on top.
The Love Potion Set comes with the Love Potion by itself. So, I coloured it like the one Avery is holding and added it to another corner of the sentiment.
The finishing touch was Glossy Accents to her glasses and beaker and Stickles to the hearts in the potions.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Here Comes Santa Card using the Santa’s Delivery Bundle which include the Santa’s Delivery Stamp Set and the Santa’s Train Dies by Stampin’ Up!
The Details of My Card
For my card, I decided that I wanted to create a fun bridge card with Santa riding in on his train! I love that you can die cut pieces from the DSP like Santa’s train making this a fast and easy card!
I used the Snowy White Velvet Sheets for the embossed snowflakes on either side of the bridge and for the bridge part that spans the two pieces.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Christmas Holly Wishes Card using the Leaves of Holly Bundle which includes the Leaves of Holly Stamp Set and the Holly Berry Dies by Stampin’ Up!
The Details of My Card
For my card, I decided to make a Joy Fold card since it’s a card within a card and oh, so fun!
I love the Leaves of Holly Stamp Set with its Two-Step design to create images with added texture and dimension. Since the berries and holly are created with two stamps, I stamped the outline stamp first in Shaded Spruce and Garden Green for the holly and Cherry Cobbler for the berries on a piece of Basic White. Next, I inked the mostly solid stamp in the same colours, stamping on a piece of scrap paper to lighten the colour, and then stamping inside the outline.
Close Up of Stamping
Once I created my background for the die cut sentiment, I gold embossed the sentiment on Basic White and die cut it out. I die cut another piece in Cherry Cobbler which I then cut in half and adhered to the top and bottom.
Inside of First Flap of Card
The sentiment was layered on the die cut Garden Green/Shaded Spruce holly piece. I added some gold trim to tie in the gold embossed sentiment and placed it peeking out under the sentiment piece.
Card Fully Open
Next, I added Basic White for the stamped inside sentiment of the smaller card and to the base of the larger card followed by the DSP to both card bases. The sentiment piece was next. Finally, the two cards could be adhered together with the smaller one centred on the larger one. A finishing touch was some red rhinestones to mimic berries were added to the holly die cut.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Wintery Christmas Barn using the Christmas Barn Bundle by Stampin’ Up! which includes the Christmas Barn Stamp Set and the Barn Dies.
The Details of My Card
For my card, I decided to make a faux centre-step card to allow enough room for the barn to fit on the centre panel. I created my faux centre-step card using my template with all my measurements that I have included at the end of this post. Some die cut snowflake were added at the top of the centre panel to create some interest before adhering it to the card base. You could add DSP as another option.
Side View Of Faux Centre-Panel Card
My Stampin’ Blends were used to colour the elements to create my winter wonderland scene. I have included some links to past colouring tutorials using Stampin’ Blends at the end of this post.
Once I die cut them out, I stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler on the Basic White strip on the right side to allow room for the sled. I popped this piece up so that I could tuck in the barn and trees behind it. Before adding the sled, I trimmed the fence to fit and glued it in place.
Close Up of Barn
I thought the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper was perfect with its large snowflakes to add to my winter wonderland theme and you can see it through the die cut snowflakes on the centre panel! All the embellishments needed was to add the Sparkle & Shine Sequins to create a flurry of more snowflakes!
Supplies:
Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Christmas Barn Bundle (159749)

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Birthday…Happy Birthday Card using Secret Agent by Kindred Stamps! My Hubby is a big fan of the James Bond movies and when I saw this stamp set, I knew it would be hit for his birthday card!
The Kindred Stamps Design Team had several inspirational cards that inspired me to create my own version of a file folder with the Magic Iris. I knew that I wanted to use both elements on my card.
The Details of My Card
I had a lot of fun creating my file folder and it had to be a certain size to fit the Magic Iris. So, it is a little wider than a regular A2 card base since the folder tab sticks out. The File Folder Edgelit Dies by Stampin’ Up! are retired, but I have made a file folder with my Envelope Punch Board in the past as well. There is also a file folder in the Specimens Edgelit Dies, but I needed a larger one to fit the iris.
Close Up of Sentiment on Card
For the front of the folder, I decided to make it look like it’s been through the wars with blood running down the front (just like the opening of the movies! Lol!), blood splatter, mysterious footprints, and a few spy paraphernalia items! I even had the blood run onto the sentiment piece. The “Confidential” and “Top Secret” stamps come with the set and were perfect for my theme! To make it even more rough, I blended some Vintage Photo Ink on the edges of the folder and the sentiment.
Inside My Card
Inside of Card
Amanda Stevens, a Design Team Member for Kindred Stamps, created a file folder PDF that you can download for both birthday and Father’s Day. Here is the link to her YouTube channel that lists the files. I used the birthday mission part for the inside of my card. Love that you can customize it to suit your needs! I added My Hubby’s birthday date and his “also known as” (aka) handle “Sweetie” to the file. Lol! The piece of washi tape was his secret agent’s name that had been “redacted”! The stamp set even comes with a martini glass and I couldn’t resist using it! Again, I distressed the brief with ink and add some blood splatters before gluing it at the top and adding some metallic dots like the brief was clipped to the folder.
Close Up of Birthday Brief
For the other side, I decided to use the Magic Iris to mimic the opening of the movies when Bond enters. I embossed in black the Spiral Dye Stamp Set onto the black cardstock from which I die cut the front of the Iris. The part that wasn’t used for the iris, I glued down to continue the spiral on the page. I had die cut the “Filed” tab and had planned to add it to the front of the folder, but in the end, I placed it under the Iris to give the black a bit of colour.
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Pop & Twist Halloween Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls. I was honoured to have been asked to present my colouring and a project this past weekend for the Paper Nest Dolls’ Not So Spooky Magical Weekend! So, I created a tag for the event, but I had so much fun that I created a card using the stamps from the retreat and based it on my tag with a twist!
The Details of My Card
For my card, I decided to create a Pop & Twist card. I love how when you open the card, the stamps on the inside fold out and pop up!
My Card in Action
The front of the card was based on the tag that I presented with a few tweaks to fit the card size.
My Tag from the Paper Nest Dolls’ Not So Spooky Magical Weekend
The inside was where all the magic happened as you open the card! When I saw these cute critters, I knew I wanted to create a twist and pop card!
I used very little decorations on the inside since I wanted the card to fold as flat as possible, but I couldn’t resist some glittery bats and Halloween words.

For my card, I decided to make a centre-step card to allow me to create a scene with the DSP. Almost everything was using the DSP. I love how the Gnomes Dies cut out some of the characters and the mushroom house on the DSP! I also love how multicultural the gnomes are with different skin tones.
Side View of Centre-Step Card
Tip: Don’t throw away any leftover sheets of the Wonderful Snowflakes once you have used all the snowflakes. I used a small die to cut the snowflakes that I used on my card. This gives the snowflakes an iridescent look.
For the snowbank, I used the rounded die from the Basic Borders Dies. The only stamping was the sentiment in Real Red on the snowbank making this a fun and easy card!
For embellishments, I used a scattering of Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems on the snowbank around the characters.
Centre-Step Card
Supplies:
Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Kindest Gnomes Bundle (159626), Basic Borders Dies (155558), Frosted Flurry Dies (159811)
I decided to use a different sentiment than what comes in the Tricycle Gnome and Sentiment Bundle PNG. It does come with 11 images including a birthday sentiment, but I needed a larger sentiment for my card. The Bundle comes with:
Tricycle Gnome PNG
Tricycle Gnome – Double Heart Balloons PNG
Tricycle Gnome- Double Round Balloons PNG
Tricycle Gnome – Single Balloon PNG
Heart Balloon PNG
Round Balloon PNG
Happy Birthday Sentiment PNG Sentiment
With Sympathy Sentiment PNG Sentiment
Thinking Of You Sentiment PNG Sentiment
Sending You Love Sentiment PNG Sentiment
You Are So Special Sentiment PNG Sentiment
The Details of My Card
For my card, I thought it would be neat to combine the Fairytale Cottage and the Tricycle Gnome to create a fun easel card! I used the PNG version of the Tricycle Gnome so that the background would be visible behind the gnome. PNGs have a clear background.
For the Fairytale Cottage, there is a river that runs through it. But I decided that my gnome would be riding his tricycle down a dirt road instead of the river. So, I coloured the river as a road. I also strategically place him in the scene so that his flowers mostly cover up the wooden bridge. You probably wouldn’t notice it if I didn’t say anything. I also wanted to make sure that the quaint cottage was visible like he just left it to deliver his flowers.
Close Up of Scene
I had a lot of fun colouring the scene and the gnome with my Copic markers! The card didn’t need any embellishments, but I did add Star Dust Stickles to the light coming from the windows, his pompom and the dog’s pompom. I also added some accents in white with a Gelly Roll Pen to his outfit. And finally, I added Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to the spokes and pedals of his tricycle and the orange flower centres.
Since I didn’t have a metal die big enough to cut out my scene, I used my Brother Scan & Cut to cut out the scene and the subsequent circles for my easel. I love the easel card since it folds flat for mailing purposes!

My Doll Detectives’ Slimline Box Card using Doll Detectives by Paper Nest Dolls
Zoinks! Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Doll Detectives’ Slimline Box Card using Doll Detectives by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. This bundle comes with 6 digital stamps including 2 boys, 2 girls, a dog, and a van.
The Details of My Card
I had so much fun colouring these cuties with my Copic markers that I made another card with them, but a slimline box card instead! I will add a link to the other card I made at the end of this post.
For my card, I thought a torture scene would be perfect for them using Enchanted Kingdom and Enchanted Forest Slimline Paper by Whimsy Stamps. This paper makes creating scenes so easy because it’s so detailed. Since the paper is so amazing, I decided to use the whole sheet, even though my card would be larger than a usual slimline.
Top View of Card Showing Layers
To create my scene, I decided to a box card would be fun allowing for 3 different layers on the front and another one for the back of the card. For each layer, I sponged a stencil to create the cobbled floor and road.
Side View of Box Card Showing Sentiments
For my sentiments, I thought speech bubbles with their iconic sayings would be such fun! So, I created them in Microsoft Word and used my Brother Scan & Cut to cut them out. For Jinkies and Jeepers, I wanted them to hover above the girls’ heads. Hence, I used a thin strip of window sheet for each and glued them to the layer behind them. I will include a link to a PDF of the sentiments that I created that you could download at the end.
The only embellishment that I added was the cute magnifying glass beside the main sentiment. Tip: use Glossy Accents to glue it to the card. I found it worked the best.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Congrats Grad Wiper Card. This fun interactive card is perfect way to celebrate a special grad on his/her special day!
The Details of My Card
This card is super easy to make since I used a Wiper Card Kit by Photo Play. All the guess work for how to make a wiper card was done for me. I just had to decorate my card.
The Celebrate! Paper Pad by Simple Stories was perfect with such sentiments as “Hip Hip Hooray” and “Yay, yay, yay” and “Way to go” on it. It’s supposed to be for birthdays, but I thought all those sentiments suited a grad!
Close Up of Year in Broadway Lights
Once I added my paper, it was time to decorate my card. I thought it would be neat to have the year on the front in Crushed Curry like it was lite up on Broadway! To decorate the Broadway sign, I used several stickers that matched my grad theme. But the fun part is when you pull the card open, the “Congrats Grad” sentiment with a sparkly Grad cap pops up! Just like when the grads throw their caps!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Good Grief! It’s Your Birthday Card using The Great Box Limited Edition Box by Kindred Stamps! It’s my brother’s birthday today. I remember us watching the antics that the Charlie Brown Gang got up to in the cartoons.
The Details of My Card
For my card, I decided to create a scene, but to fit all my characters, I went with a fun pop out card.
Top View of Card Showing Folds
My inspiration was where they all go on stage and start dancing! I always loved that part! So, I used some wood Designer Series Paper to create the floor to my stage.
Linus, Sally, Schroder and Lucy on Stage
Once I coloured with my Copic markers my characters, I built my stage. The card folds out like a book, so you see more characters as it unfolds until you have it fully open.
Marcie, Peppermint Patty, Woodstock and Snoopy on Stage
For most of my card I used The Great Box Limited Edition Box. Don’t you love the doghouse with Snoopy and Woodstock dancing around the sentiment! The Charlie Brown chevron pattern paper was perfect for the backdrop of my card! Almost like curtains to the stage.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Yabba Dabba Doo Time Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the new digital Stone Age Family Set. This bundle comes with eight stamps in either digital or rubber stamps.
The Details of My Card
For my card, I wanted to fit the whole family onto one card. So, I decided to create a Tri-Fold card where a continual scene unfolds on the front of the card, but when folded down, it becomes an A2 card.
Tri-Fold Card
I created a sidewalk for my characters to stand on by using a stencil, ink, and a blending brush. Once that was done, I used one of the Large Slimline Dies to create my straight lines and then cut the pieces down accordingly. Some hills and grass in different greens gave interest behind the characters. A couple of palm trees added to my scene.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing A Toast for Your Birthday! using the Lots of Pun Paper Pumpkin Past Kit. I had so much fun playing with this Paper Pumpkin Kit! I made some alternative cards (see at end of post for photos) when it was first released in January, but I had some leftover bits and decided to make a fun fold card. The only things I added was some card stock, adhesive and a toast sentiment! Everything else is from the kit.

This card is for a 12-year-old boy whose birthday is today! Every year I create an interactive card for him. Last year I created a card with the Give a Whirl Dies and in the past years, I created a Never-Ending Card, a Slider card, a wobble card and so on. He always says that I make the best cards EVER! Got to love that!
Details of My Pop & Twist Card
For my card, I decided to create a Pop & Twist card. I love how when you open the card, the images on the inside fold out and pop up!
The front of the card is one of the designs from the kit. I just cut it to fit a portrait card. I added a couple of stamped party hats from the stamp set that is included in the kit. A mat of Granny Apple Green was added behind the focal point.

The inside is where I got creative! There are four panels and I thought that incorporating each of the die cuts (eggs, cherries, banana, and toast) that came with the kit, would work well!
Pop-Up Inside Card
First Panel
For the first panel, I used an egg theme. I love the pun “have an egg-cellent day” and couldn’t resist using “egg-cited for you” too! Just too fun! I used one of the card bases that I cut down with a Granny Apple green mat to fit my panel.

Second Panel
The next panel had the theme of cherries. So, I used the inside of one of the envelopes for the background pattern. I thought the red dots went perfectly with those sweet cherries! This is one of the things I love about the kits! The envelopes are printed both on the outside and the inside. So, once you cut them open, you can reverse the coordinating patterns to suit your design.

Third Panel
For the third panel the theme was the banana. Again, I used the inside of an envelope for the background. The speech bubbles are so fun!

Fourth Panel
For the last panel, the theme was the toast. I didn’t have an appropriate sentiment. So, I printed one off on my computer to suit the birthday theme. I used the inside of an envelope once again for my background piece. Aren’t the glasses on the toast fun!
Fourth Panel on Pop-Up Inside Card
I added a scattering of the Enamel stickers that came with the kits on all the panels.
