Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Happy Easter Bunny Card using the Easter Bunny Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!
The Details of My Cards
For my cards, I thought it would be fun to create a scene with the Easter Bunny peeking through the leaves from the Around the Bend Dies as he’s hiding his Easter eggs!
The Into the Clouds Embossing Folder created the perfect sky for my scene with a die cut white cloud adding some interest.
I decided to use the Parakeet Party In Color DSP as my grass and leaves using the Around the Bend Die. A scattering of die cut flowers were used to add colour and highlight the sentiment which was die cut from the Pretty Pillowbox Dies.
The bunny was stamped in black on Basic White showing that you don’t always need to color it to make it stand out.
A couple of Brass Butterflies were added to complete my scene.

Hello Crafty Friends! Welcome Spring! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing Hello Springtime! as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Watering Can Gnome from theGnome Set. There are ten images in the set including:
Shears Gnome
Tulip Gnome
Shovel Gnome
Watering Can Gnome
Bird Bath
Tulips
Daises
Mushroom with Butterfly
Wheelbarrow
Gnome Home
Since today is the First Day of Spring, I thought I would create a Spring card with tulips blooming, birds singing and butterflies fluttering! For my card, I decided to create a scene using several stamps from the Gnome Set.
The Details of My Card
I used Microsoft Word to layout my carefully planned scene so that when I added the Watering Can Gnome, she wouldn’t block any of the other images. I printed and coloured her with my Copic markers separately so that I could add some depth to my scene.
Once everything was coloured, I used the different sizes of the Blending Brushes by Picket Fence and a Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps cloud stencil to create my sky around the coloured images. It’s nice that the blending brushes come in different sizes! The smaller ones allowed me to get into areas close to the coloured images without having to mask them.
Tip: Use parts of digital stamps, like the birds from the birdbath, instead of the whole stamp to create interest.
For the grass, I wanted a straight part where the flowers were and then a hill to add interest. So, for the straight piece, I used the largest Small Mini Slimline Stackables Die to get the stitching along the top. The hill was from the Slimline Stitched Hillside Border Dies by Lawn Fawn. To create dimension and differentiate the two pieces of grass, I used dimensionals.
Tip: use your slimline dies for more than just slimline cards.
I tucked my coloured gnome into the hill part of the grass but added dimensionals behind her to give depth to my scene.
I added die cut stitched clouds to match the stitching on the grass. The sentiment was printed out on my computer and them die cut with another stitched die.
Clear Wink of Stella was added to the wings of the butterflies and Glossy Accents to her watering can. A scattering of yellow resin flowers in the grass added to my Spring theme.
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Easter Bunny Trio Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the New Release Easter Rabbit Trio Bundle.
This Bundle includes 4 images:
Title 1: Easter Rabbit Trio
Title 2: Rabbit Holding Egg
Title 3: Rabbit Holding Daffodil
Title 4: Rabbit Holding Carrot
The Details of My Card
For my card, I thought I would create a fun Centre-Step card (downloadable template at end of post) with these three cuties on it! The bunnies come as individual images, but if you get the PNG versions, you can use Microsoft Word to place them together like I did. I made the Egg Bunny larger than the other two since he is in front of the other two.
Once I printed them out, I coloured them with my Copic markers. I decided to colour them in different colours since bunnies come in all sorts of colours and to distinguish them from each other. I coloured the Easter egg to match the purple paper with yellow to match the daffodil and orange to match the carrot. You could say that the Easter egg tied up my colour scheme in a bow.
Side View of Easel Card
I went with soft pastels of purples, yellows, and greens for my paper choices since they are the perfect Easter colors! The Wisteria Wonder Baker’s Twine tied in a bow behind my cuties added some interest to the yellow base. The sentiment piece was die cut with a 3” stitched circle die on the yellow paper from the Welcome Easter Paper Pad by Echo Park. The die cut sentiment was glued directly to the circle.
I used Clear Wink of Stella on the Easter egg to make it sparkle. A scattering of sequins was added to give even more sparkle.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Oh, Happy Day Cards using the Rain or Shine Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I created two shaker cards. One was for a swap of the Mini Catalogue and the other was a faux-shaker card. Same design, but with different ways to make a shaker card.
The Details of My Cards
I had a lot of fun colouring this cute rabbit with my Stampin’ Blends! I coloured him with two different coloured shirts depending on the card. Once I finished colouring him, I die cut him out. Even though the bunny is splashing in a puddle on the stamp, the die just cuts him out making him more versatile. So, I decided that since he is bouncing with happiness that I would have him flying a kite.
My Swap Card Details
For my swap card, I made a traditional shaker card and used the kite die for my shaker part. Those Daisy Embellishments are so cute and perfect for a shaker! I backed my shaker part with a little DSP to add some visual interest.
My Swap Card
To get the placement of the kite, I placed my die cut bunny and DSP circle and the Balmy Blue where I wanted them and then positioned my kite die. Using a post-it note, I secured the DSP, and the kite die to the Balmy Blue and then ran it through my die cutting machine. Once that was done, I pulled part the pieces and embossed the Balmy Blue piece with the Into the Clouds Embossing Folder.
For the shaker part, I used a piece of window sheet that I adhered to the back of the Balmy Blue over the kite opening. Next, I used the foam adhesive strips and manipulated them around my kite. These strips are perfect for a shaker card and so easy to use!
Tip
Once the adhesive strip is down, rub the embossing buddy that comes in the Embossing Additions Tool Kit along the edges. This will help with static and keeps the shaker pieces from sticking to the adhesive.
Close Up of Rabbit
Next, I added my shaker elements to the centre of the window sheet on the back. I removed the backing from the adhesive strip and secured the DSP over top. I added more strips to add dimension around the edges of the Balmy Blue so that the card would keep its shape. This part is adhered to the Old Olive card base.
Once that was done, it was just a matter of adhering all the elements in place. A Whisper White bow was added as the tail of the kite. A few daises were added to the sentiment and one beside the tree stump.
Faux Shaker Card Details
A faux shaker card is super easy to make and so fun! For my Faux Shaker Card, I embossed the Balmy Blue and adhered it to the Old Olive mat. Next, I adhered the DSP circle, the stump and one of the clouds to the Balmy Blue.
Faux Shaker Card
Taking a Medium clear envelope, I slid this piece into it. I added my daisy shaker elements to the front on the envelope and sealed it. Using liquid glue, I adhered the envelope to the Thick Basic White card base.
Next, I added the sentiment and the kite with liquid glue to the front on my card. The bunny and the remaining clouds are popped up. A few daisies were added to the sentiment. Easy peasy!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing Love You Lots Card using Raining Hearts by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card.
The Details of My Card
My 28th wedding anniversary is coming up and I thought this cutie would be perfect for my hubby’s card from me!
I had fun colouring her with my Copic markers, especially the red! My hubby knows it’s one of my favourite colours. I even coloured her hair to look like mine when we first met. Don’t you love the falling hearts and her bucket filled with love!
The Smitten paper pulled out the red and pinks of my colouring. It has roses and hearts with keys on it. So, I decided to pull out my key embellishments as a nod to my Hubby having the key to my heart. I threaded it through some Real Red Ruffled ribbon to make it look like it was hanging from the card.
The die cut pink heart border added some popped up dimension to one side. All I added was some resin hearts to tie in the red colour scheme.
A pink stitched die cut heart and wooden heart added the perfect backdrop to my white embossed sentiment tying in my red and pink colour scheme!

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.
Supplies:
Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Flowering Rain Boots Bundle (157691), Flowering Tulips Bundle (157678), All Dressed Up Dies (151665), Stitched Rectangles Dies (151820)

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)

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 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.
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my last Design Team card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. I have decided to step down from the Design Team to spend more time with my family. For my I Love Paris Card, I decide to use my favourite RAM stamp called ‘Paris’ Digital Stamp. Nothing is more beautiful than Paris any time of the year, even when it’s raining! We love to visit Paris as much as possible and have been there 4 times so far! In fact, my character as a Design Team Member had a little Eiffel Tower on her sweater. Isn’t she a cutie!
Laurie’s Design Team Character for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios
For my card, I knew that I wanted to use the Letters From Paris Paper Pack from Wild Rose Studio. So, I coloured with my Copic markers to match the colours of my paper. The Amour word was perfect since Paris is known as the City of Love! Don’t you just love the Eiffel Tower charm with the linen thread tied in a bow to the flag! I used clear epoxy raindrops interspersed between the raindrop that sparkle from my Gelly Roll Pen because even the rain in Paris is magical!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’sLaurie here! I am sharing my April Showers Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the cute digital stampAvery 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!
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 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!

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!
