Hello Pumpkin GDT Card

My Hello Pumpkin Guest Design Team Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Hello Pumpkin Guest Design Team Card for the Copic for ALLE Facebook Group using Krista Smith Stamps Pretty Pumpkin Digital Stamp. I was so honoured to be asked by this group to be a Guest Designer for their YR (Yellow/Red) Copic Challenge for October. This combination screams pumpkins to me and since I haven’t coloured a Krista Smith image in a while, I thought Pretty Pumpkin would be perfect for my card! Of course, for a Fall card, you need falling paper leaves that I pulled from my stash! Hope you like my take on this Color Challenge!

Life Is A Beautiful Journey

A Beautiful Journey Card using the World of Good Suite
Life is A Beautiful Journey Card using the World of Good Suite

Today I am sharing My Life Is A Beautiful Journey Card that I created for a swap that uses products from the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue and the World of Good Suite. This card is a perfect masculine card especially for a retirement or a graduation!

I love how the pops of Misty Moonlight ink and the World of Good Designer Series Paper add a nice touch of colour to this very neutral card. I used Gold Foil Sheets instead of the Brass Foil Sheets only because they were on backorder at the time. The Brass ones would look just as nice! I wanted to add a bit of an old paper look by sponging Crumb Cake around the sentiment’s edges and on the DSP after it was embossed with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder. I was so happy to find out that the Metallic Pearls had carried over and I used them as the perfect accent to finish the card.

Storytime Design Team Card

My Storytime! Card using Storytime by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studio
My Storytime Design Team Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Storytime Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using their Storytime Digital Stamp. This is my first card as a new Design Team Member for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios! I’m so excited to join such a talented team!

I love this sweet image with all the cute forest friends gathered around to listen to a story! The panels to the left are all the wonderful stories they are reading. Once Upon a Time…there was a ranger who confronted a dragon guarding his hoard. Once Upon a Time…there was a knight on a chivalrous quest. Or, maybe they are reading Jack and the Beanstalk as the vine travels to the clouds! This image just sparks my imagination! The sentiment is from a Kraftin Kimmie Stamp that I thought was perfect for these little forest friends! “We’ll be friends forever…the end!”

Grace’s Garden Gate Card

Grace’s Garden Gate Card
My Grace’s Garden Gate Card

Today I am sharing this pretty Grace’s Garden Gate Card. For this card, I combined the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set and the Grace’s Garden Bundle. I thought these two sets went perfectly together! The Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper is perfect for the gate. I used my Paper Snips to cut the gate doors so that it can open to reveal the beautiful scene beyond. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to walk through a lavender field! There is a Sneak Peek of one of the new Greenery Embossing Folders that frames the scene. Let’s get started.
