Valentine's Card - Stamp With Laurie

My Grease Lightning Card

Card with 50s greaser and girl with poodle skirt — My Grease Lightning Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Grease Lightning Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Greaser Owen and Decade Collection Poodle Skirt Emma. 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

When I saw these two stamps, I knew that I had to create a card with them both on it! I had a lot of fun colouring them with my Copic markers! I even added Glossy Accents to the milkshake glass and Emma’s glasses.

For my card, I decided to create a 50s diner vibe using the most perfect paper with milk shakes, records, and black/white tiles that I found on Amazon.

I heat embossed with black embossing powder the record from the For the Record Stamp Set twice. Once on gray card stock and once on red card stock. Then, using several circle dies, I die cut the pieces out. I couldn’t resist using the red cardstock for the heart part in the centre of the record! And the grooves really show up well with the black embossing on the gray card stock. Don’t you love the sentiments, especially the puny one, that come with the stamp set!

Isn’t the car die so fun! I thought it would suit my 50’s vibe as an homage to Grease Lightning from the movie Grease. The door even opens. So, I had Owen’s leg halfway in almost like he was getting out of the card.

A red rhinestone and several black dot embellishments tie into my colour scheme.

This is The Valentine Way!

My Valentine Card with Baby Yoda and hearts on it. — This is The Valentine Way!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my This is The Valentine Way! using Rebel Baby by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. I just wanted to show how versatile the Paper Nest Dolls stamps are by making a Valentine card with this cutie!

The Details of My Card

When I was out shopping the other day, I saw some Baby Yoda Valentine cards for children to hand out. I had a light bulb moment that I could create my own Valentine with Baby Rebel!

For my card, I decided that I wanted it to be a traditional Valentine card with lots of hearts and pinks/reds/whites. I love the bright colours of the Doodlebug paper! So, perfect for a Valentine card! I thought it would be fun to place a red glimmer Valentine heart in his hand to give to you! Since he is a galaxy baby, I pulled in some stars but went with glimmery red and pink to match my colour scheme. A scattering of red rhinestones adds a bit more sparkle to this fun Valentine!

Love You More Than Chocolate Card

My Valentine Card with Chocolates on it. — Love You More Than Chocolate Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Love you More Than Chocolate Card using the Nothing’s Better Than Stamp Set and matching Love You More Than Dies by Stampin’ Up! I have been meaning to play with this set and thought it would be perfect for a Valentine’s Day card!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided that I wanted to go with Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Real Red for my colour scheme since they reminded me of a box of chocolates.

I love how fun it is to replace the word “Chocolate” with the stamped image of the chocolates. Giving the receiver a subtle hint of what the card is all about. And just in case they miss that, I stamped in Early Expresso the word Chocolate and the outline of the chocolates on the Crumb Cake piece. For the stamped chocolates on the Basic White Card Stock, I used two-step stamping before die cutting them to create depth and dimension with Early Espresso for the outline and Crumb Cake for the silhouette.

To tie in the Real Red Designer Series Paper from the Regals Pack, I used Real Red for my hearts and Red Rhinestones to add sparkle. The stitched hearts were from the Give It a Whirl Dies. A favourite of mine for those little accents!

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Nothing’s Better Than (158295), Love You More Than Dies (152698), Give It a Whirl Dies (154336), Stitched Rectangles Dies (151820)

Paper: Early Espresso (119686), Basic White (159276), Crumb Cake (120953), Real Red (102482), Regals 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (155227)

My Love Is In The Air Card

A card with a gnome flying with a balloon — My Love Is In The Air Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Love Is In The Air Card as my Design Team Inspiration for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Gnome With Balloon and Sentiment Bundle. If you need a fast Valentine card, then this is it!

I had great fun colouring this cutie for a birthday card (link) that I thought he would make a fun Valentine card with his heart balloon! He comes with 9 stamps including a choice of heart balloon or round balloon, with or without grass and 5 sentiments that consist of Hello Love, Love Is In The Air (2 different styles), Happy Valentine’s Day and Heart Full Of Love in JPG. You can also get him in PNG.

Details of My Card

I decided that I wanted to use the Glorious Sky Slimline Paper for my background, but I die cut it down to fit a Mini Slimline card instead. This paper is awesome in that it completes the scene with minimal fuss. All I had to do was add my die cut sentiment with some Valentine flags and my coloured image which I popped onto an Action Wobble. What is more fun than an interactive card and this one is super cute!

Will You Be My Valentine Viking?

February 4, 2022 Leave a comment

Valentine card with a Viking on it — Will You Be My Valentine Viking?

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Will You Be My Valentine Viking? for my Design Team Inspiration for Paper Nest Dolls. Can you see a theme this week in my Valentine cards for my Hubby? Lol! He loves history especially Vikings! So, I used Viking Andrew with mustache ties from the Viking Bundle. This bundle has three characters and two animals – Viking Andrew (with and without the mustache ties), Viking Owen, Viking Dragon, and Viking Boar. I have created several Viking cards over the years and will include links to them at the end of this post as well.

The Details of my Card

I had so much fun colouring with my Copic markers this brawny guy in appropriate Viking colours! His colouring even matches another card called My Let’s Go A-Viking Card that I made for Paper Nest Dolls for their New Year’s Day Event. Wouldn’t these two make a perfect pair!

A card with a Viking on it. — My Let’s Go a Viking Card

For my card, I found some neat digital paper with Viking watercolour images that suited my theme. The Viking ships in the bottom panel were from an invitation in the digital package, and I just cropped it to include only the ships. I then had a choice of which ship to highlight and went with the red/white sail one to match my reds.

Since this is for my Hubby, I kept the embellishments minimal with several die-cut hearts for my Valentine theme and a scattering of red rhinestones. I love how the Viking chipboard accents highlight the fun sentiment that I punch out with heart punches.

My Viking Love Valentine Card

February 2, 2022 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Viking Love Valentine Card using the Brave Vikings Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! My Hubby loves history and especially Vikings! He even has a Viking outfit with sword tor Society for Creative Anachronisms events. So, it was a given that I would get this stamp set as soon as I saw it.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to use the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper that you can get for free with a qualifying hostess party. This paper is awesome! It has so many patterns for different occasions and seasons, and you get 48 sheets (4 each of 12 double-sided designs)! The colourful hearts are perfect for a Valentine card and the diagonal stripe paper matches those colours perfectly!

I used the Heart Punch Pack to punch out my DSP and matching scallop hearts. The little Poppy Parade stitched hearts are from the Give It a Whirl Dies. I scattered the hearts willy-nilly to mirror to the whimsey of the Stitched with Whimsey Die on the Basic White.

Once I stamped the Viking girl in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, I pulled out my Stampin’ Blends to colour her using the colours pulled from the DSP. I then fussy cut her out. I placed her on the card so that she is pointing at the sentiment like she is saying the words. A scattering of Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels adds a bit of sparkle to the card.

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Brave Vikings (157926), Stitched with Whimsey Dies (155314), Give It a Whirl Dies (154336)

Inks: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (132708)

Paper: Poppy Parade (119793), Basic White (159276), Bermuda Bay (131197), Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (155426)

My Let’s Go A-Viking Card

January 6, 2022 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I was so excited to have been asked to present at the Paper Nest Dolls’ New Year’s Day Party this past weekend! So, I am sharing My Let’s Go A-Viking Card that I coloured and created for this event! It is using the stamp created exclusively by Paper Nest Dolls for the event and is called Viking Tina after our very own Tina Day Goodwin from the PND Design Team!

Details of my Card

I had so much fun colouring with my Copic markers this cutie in what my Hubby called “Viking colours”! Lol!

For my card, I decided that I wanted to create a Norwegian fjord vignette as a backdrop for my Viking Tina. So, I pulled out my Distressed Oxide Inks and Blending tools to create the Aurora Borealis night sky. I love the “wooden” Viking ship by Stamp AnnieThing poking out of the green frame! A couple of mountains and a water die completed my vignette. Going on a cruise to see the fjords and the aurora borealis are on my bucket list.

Distress Inks for Aurora Borealis Night Sky

The P13 paper was perfect for my Norwegian theme and matched my Viking colour scheme! To add to the rustic feel, I added some recycled carboard, a rustic star and small wooden stars. A scattering of red rhinestones tied in the red of Viking Tina’s dress.

As You Wish Card

June 7, 2021 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my As You Wish Card using the Twoo Luv Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps! Princess Bride is one of my favourite movies ever! So, when I saw Kindred Stamps has this stamp set, I couldn’t resist buying it!

This is another super-fast card to make since the stamps colour up so quickly and the background paper is from the Enchanted Forest Paper Pack by Whimsy Stamps. I used my Copic markers to colour my characters to match the characters in the movie. I thought this slimline paper was perfect to represent the ‘Fire Swamp’ in the movie where Westley and Buttercup meet the R.O.U.S.’s (Rodents of Unusual Size)! The only other thing that needed to be added was the sentiment which I embossed in white on black cardstock. Easy-peasy!

I Love Paris Card

My Design Team Card I Love Paris — I Love Paris Card

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 RAM Design Team Character — 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!

Welcome Spring Card

April 28, 2021 Leave a comment

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.

My Winter Sweethearts Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Winter Sweethearts Card as my last Guest Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. I am so excited that I have been asked to become a permanent Design Team Member with them starting in March! Yippee!

For my card, I used Winter Sweethearts and coloured them with my Copic markers to match my paper in purples and taupes. I coloured the girl in purples since it is one of my favourite colours. I coloured the boy with matching hat/jeans and boots/sweater since my hubby is all about matchy-matchy! LOL! Wouldn’t they make a great Valentine, Anniversary, Christmas, anything love card, but I made them my winter sweethearts!

You Slay Me Valentine Card

February 16, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Now that Valentine’s Day is over, I can share with you my You Slay Me Valentine Card that I gave to my Hubby. My Hubby loves anything that involves history and Vikings. He even has a Viking costume including a sword with scabbard for Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) events and Halloween. In addition to that, we are currently re-watching the Vikings TV Series. When I saw that Stamp Anniething’s January release was Vikings, I just had to get the whole release! There are three Vikings in it. I used two of them on this card and the third is on another card that I will share later.

Details of My Card

I coloured both of these cuties with my Copic markers in the colours of the main characters in the Vikings TV Series…all blonde hair and natural tones, other than Siv’s skirt to tie in my red hearts that I wanted to use. Gale comes with a number of different weapons that you can swap out depending on what you want. I went with the axe and added Glossy Accents to the metal part to make it look like polished steel. I created my two-tone shield with a number of circle dies of varying width. My Hubby informed me that Vikings preferred coloured shields when I was colouring Torin below.

My Colouring of Torin, The Third Viking in the Release

I love the sentiment “You slay me” that comes with Gale. Perfect pun for my Hubby’s Valentine card! It fitted nicely on the tag that I cut out of the matching paper. I added some twine and a die cut heart to add some visual interest to it. Some hearts and a couple of red rhinestones add a bit of pop in colour to my card.

My note to my Hubby said that I will be his Lagertha to his Ragnar always!

My Penguin Love Valentine Card

February 13, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s Laurie here! I am so excited to be joining Conie Fong Art & Design as a Guest Design Team Member again for February with my My Penguin Love Valentine Card! For my February GDT card, I am using 2 different stamps. The top penguin is called Penguin Heartstrings bottom penguin is called Penguin Bundle of Love. Aren’t they just the cutest!

I coloured both of these stamps with my Copic markers in the traditional Valentine colours of pink and red. I then, decided that I wanted both of them on the same card. So, I went with a slimline card with lots of hearts for Valentine’s Day! For the sentiment, I used markers to colour just the part of the stamp that I wanted and then “huffed” (technical term lol) on it to activate the ink. For a bit of sparkle, I added glossy accents to the penguins’ beaks, feet and the heart that the Penguin Bundle of Love is holding. I also added Star Dust Stickles to the heartstrings of the other penguin. One final touch is a scattering of Red Rhinestones.

Queen of Valentines Card

February 11, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Queen of Valentines Card using the digital version of Queen of Hearts Ellie by Paper Nest Dolls. This cute stamp come in both a rubber and a digital version. There is also a Wonderland Bundle that consists of Queen of Hearts Ellie, Emma in Wonderland, Mad Hatter Avery and Mischievous Cat. Love this Bundle! You can also buy them individually. I hope to colour more of them in the future!

For, my card, I knew that I wanted to make a Valentine’s card with this stamp. Something a little different. Hence the Queen of Valentines!

I coloured sweet Ellie with my Copic markers and added Glossy Accents and Stardust Stickles in certain places to make her sparkle. The Down the Rabbit Hole paper was perfect for my card with all the crowns! I have had this Hearts Border Die forever and thought it reminded me of the Queen’s garden of roses in the book, but with hearts instead. I had fun creating my playing cards using a die from the Stamp Anniething, but it is easy enough to create them using other rectangle and heart dies. Of course, you have to have a Queen of Hearts playing card along with an Ace of Hearts and the “back” of a third card using the Valentine Paper with all the Valentine words. A die cut heart, white rick-rack, red/white twine, red rhinestones and a card charm tie this theme all together!

I Love You Card

My Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my I Love You Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using the cute ‘Bunny Balloons’ Digital Stamp.

Valentine’s Day is coming up and this digital stamp is a quick colour if you still need to make some card for your little ones. This stamp reminds me of the Valentine cards that I use to get as a child with the sweet animals on them! Love that the bunny is giving his tweet friend a bouquet of balloons!

I coloured this stamp with my Copic markers and decided that I wanted the heart balloons to pop. So, I made them solid with the heart highlights matching the other balloons. I then added glossy accents to make them shine. The bunny was coloured with a light hand of grays to give him a white appearance. The little bird was coloured blue to match the paper and the give a pop of a different colour. The Craft Tape I found in my stash was perfect bringing in the pinks, red and blues. The two Layered Valentine Accents gave the card some dimension. I added the arrow through the heart just because you just need an arrow through a heart for a Valentine’s card! A scattering of red rhinestones adds a bit more sparkle!
