Stamp With Laurie - Toss A Coin Birthday Card - February 6, 2021

Toss A Coin Birthday Card

February 6, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Toss A Coin Birthday Card! Today is a good friend’s birthday and I thought the bard from the Monster Hunter Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps would be perfect for him! He is the best bard role player ever! Plus loves the Witcher TV show!

I coloured the whole Monster gang with my Copic markers for a colouring challenge a while ago. But I knew that I wanted to give Jonathan the bard guy for his birthday. I love the sentiment “Toss a coin for your birthday”! The Enchanted Forest Graphic 45 Paper gave my card the fantasy feel that I was looking for, and of course, you have to have music paper and notes for a bard!

Now, I just need to get the other characters onto a card as well!

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!

Sending Love Treat Box

January 28, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Sending Love Treat Box for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls using Emma with Heart Balloon.

Time for something a little different than a card! Do you give your Sweetie treats for Valentine’s Day? If you do, you might like to make a treat box for them.

The Details of My Treat Box

Isn’t the digital stamp Emma with Heart Balloon so sweet! Perfect for my Valentine Treat Box! I coloured her with my Copic Markers and added Glossy Accents to her balloons and Stardust Stickles to the heart on her top.

For my box, I used a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box from Stampin’ Up! This made a perfect box for holding treats and at the same time easy to assemble. I had fun decorating my box with the super cute Lovebugs paper by Doodlebug! Of course, I had to cover all sides of my box with it including the back!

On the paper, there are some sweet envelopes, so I used a die to cut some mini envelopes in different papers and placed felt heart stickers emerging from them, like my love was being sent in the mail! I place one on the cover and two inside.

For a Valentine box, you need lots of hearts and that is where the doily heart die with the love die cut on it and the cluster of hearts die came in handy. For my belly band, I used ribbon that has Happy Valentine’s Day on it, and I tied into a pretty bow.

Of course, you have to decorate the inside of the box and place lots of treats in it! Again, I used the Lovebugs paper and cut one of the tags out and popped it up on more of the cute paper! Love the sentiment:

“Loved you yesterday
love you still
always have
always will”

My last two envelopes with the hearts flank the sentiment.

Some finishing touches of rhinestones and Clear Wink of Stella on the hearts on the spine add a bit of sparkle to my project.

Happy Birthday to Me!

January 25, 2021 Leave a comment

Today is my birthday! So I thought I would share my Happy Birthday to Me Card celebrating me and my friend, Sheina, who’s birthday is today as well! Happy Birthday Sheina!

I recently attended a Virtual Stampin’ Up! Christmas Party that was put on by our team leader. The party was delayed until January since Covid was affecting delivery schedules. For this party, we were we given a package of products including a Pool Party card base, Basic Black Card Stock, Basic White Card Stock, a piece of True Love Designer Series Paper, a Square Vellum Doily and Pool Party Sheer Ribbon to create a mystery card. We could use these supplies anyway we liked to create something to share with the group. We could also add any additional supplies to the card that we wished.

My Additional Supplies

So, I added the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, Pool Party Ink, VersaMark Ink, White Embossing Powder, Basic Black Card Stock and Rhinestone Basic Jewels to create my final card.

I love the very elegant black/white True Love DSP with the floral motif on one side and geometrics on the other. There are so many ways to add colour to it. You could colour it with the Stampin’ Blends, the Stampin’ Write Markers, sponges or daubers. I chose to add Pool Party Ink using the new Blending Brushes.

I then trimmed it into 3 equal pieces and added it to the Basic Black mat. Once the sentiment was heat set on the Basic Black card stock, I added a trimmed down edge of the Square Doily so that it peeks out. I tied the pretty Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon around my focal point and popped it up with dimensionals. I added a scattering of Rhinestone Basic Jewels to add some shimmer.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set (151331

Inks: VersaMark Ink (102283), Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pad (147107)

Paper: Pool Party (122924), Basic White (159276), Basic Black (121045), True Love Designer Series Paper (154281)

Pool Party: 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
Basic Black: 3 pieces

My True Love Card

January 21, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with My True Love Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using the sweet ‘Flowers for You’ Digital Stamp. This stamp is perfect for that special someone on Valentine’s Day!

I love it when I receive flowers from my Hubby and this stamp reminds me of those wonderful moments! So, I coloured with my Copic Markers the couple to look like us. I created a bouquet that mimics the bouquet that the boy is giving the girl, but I added some ribbon, linen thread and a heart trinket all mounted on a filigree die cut heart. For the Detailed Hearts Die cut, I cut it in half and then offset it in opposite corners. A heart paper clip and red rhinestones along with Clear Gelly Roll Pen on the hearts and Clear Wink of Stella on the large heart add a bit of sparkle and whimsy. I angled my coloured focal point so that you could see the paper beneath that says My True Love. That is what my card is all about.

Molly’s Valentine Card

January 19, 2021 Leave a comment

My Guest Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am so excited to be joining Conie Fong Art & Design as a Guest Design Team Member again for January! For my first GDT card for January, I created Molly’s Valentine Card using Molly’s Basket of Love – with headband. This stamp comes in a set of three digital stamps including Molly’s Basket of Love and Molly Fairy.

I have been wanting to colour this sweet image for a while and thought that with Valentine’s Day next month, she would be perfect! Since she is a Valentine card, I coloured her with my Copic markers in pinks, reds and browns to match my paper. I pulled out my Be Mine Stitched Dies for the large heart and the cluster of smaller ones. For embellishments, I went into my stash of Stampin’ Up! trinkets for the key and heart lock and tied them with red/pink/white twine to a wooden heart. The twine ends were shaped into a heart since you can never have too many hearts on a Valentine card! I just love the ribbon with its soft curves and lacey details. A scattering of red rhinestones and Clear Wink of Stella on all of Molly’s hearts and the bow on her basket, add a bit of sparkle.

Will You be my Valentine?

January 14, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Will You Be My Valentine? Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. Have you started your Valentine cards yet?

For my card, I used the sweet Emma with Panda. Even though this digital stamp isn’t a Valentine image, I thought that Emma made the perfect Valentine card with her panda! Wouldn’t you love to receive a panda like hers as a Valentine gift?

The Details of My Card

It was so much fun colouring Emma and her panda with my Copic markers! I decided to colour them red, white and black/gray to match the papers that I had picked out. Even though they are not Valentine papers, I wanted red/white dots to echo her shirt and the Magical Adventures paper was perfect for that! The Breeze Papers gave the card a bit of elegance while bringing in the white/black/gray to match everything else.

Since this is my Valentine’s card, I included hearts with the large white doily and the heart die from Penny Black. I used the White Gelly Roll Pen on the dots on her shirt. The Clear Wink of Stella is on her bow and shoes. The Black Gelly Roll Pen was used to give the Panda dimension in his eyes. The red and white jewel felt flowers were found in the dollar area of my local Michaels Arts & Crafts store.

Don’t you just love the Panda button with his glittery face! I had to make sure that the bow from my die was under him…like unwrapping a present! The Real Red Ruched Ribbon adds a nice touch of red behind the focal point. A couple of red and clear rhinestones add a bit of sparkle! Just goes to show you that you can make a Valentine card out of things that are not necessarily all Valentine!

Hugs for Mr. Snowman

January 7, 2021 Leave a comment

It’s Laurie here with my Hugs for Mr. Snowman Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her ‘Snowman Hug’ Christmas Digital Stamp. Isn’t this just the sweetest image with the little one giving Mr. Snowman a big hug!

I pulled out the Winter Fun paper a while back and had it sitting on my table in anticipation of this card. I love the soft blues and browns of it and coloured with my Copic markers the stamp to match. Once the image was coloured, I used my new Stampin’ Up! Blending Brush to give the sky a pretty blue to make the snowman pop from the background. Of course, you have to have snowflake dies cuts when a snowman is involved! I thought the Tan/ White Twine and the snowflake charm were perfect accents to my card! I added some sparkle with the Clear Gelly Roll Pen on the snowsuit’s snowflakes and a scattering of rhinestones.

Blowing Wishes Your Way

December 31, 2020 Leave a comment

Happy New Year’s Eve! Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! For my last card of 2020, I am sharing my Guest Design Team Inspiration for Conie Fong Art & Design using Dandelion Wishes. This sweet fairy is “blowing wishes your way” for a wonderful 2021!

I had so much fun colouring her with my Copics markers in bright and bonny colours for a change from the Christmas colours that I have been using lately! This digital stamp can be used for so many different occasions, but I decided that I wanted to create a New Year’s Eve card. I knew that I wanted to use some new Stampin’ Up! products that I received that tied in the dandelion theme nicely like the Designer Series Paper and the Dies!

Our Friendship is Tweet

December 29, 2020 Leave a comment

It’s Laurie here with Our Friendship is Tweet Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her cute ‘Tweet Friendship’ Christmas Digital Stamp. I have been a big fan of Rachelle Anne Miller’s for a long time. In fact, I used my rubber stamp that was in my stash to create my card, but you can get the digital version in her store.

I love this sweet little girl with her tweet friends! I though she made a perfect card for a winter birthday and I have a lot of them coming up in January and February. So I have plans for her!

For my card, I coloured her with my favourite BG and YG colour combinations of Copic markers. I then created a frame by laying down the die that I used to cut her out and sponged Pool Party Ink with my new Blending Brush from Stampin’ Up! When I lifted the die up, I was left with a white frame to set off my image. I love the Frostyville Wreath in the Sparkle Glimmer Paper, but it was too small for my image. So, I cut it apart and draped it along the frame. To balance the “wreath” of snowflakes, I placed another larger snowflake opposite them. I thought that the Metallic Mesh Ribbon looked like cracked ice creating a subtle texture to the card. A scattering of Adhesive-backed Snowflakes added to the Winter Wonderland theme of my card.

Jingle All the Way

December 17, 2020 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Jingle All the Way Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. I used the updated Santa Ellie with Gift which is only $1 right now! Make sure you get yours at such a great deal!!

I coloured Ellie with my Copic Markers in Santa red and white colours. Isn’t she just the cutest in her Santa outfit! I knew that I wanted to create a shaker card and use some Christmas foil accents. There have been some awesome shaker cards by the PND Design Team, and I was inspired by them to give it a try! Since the Jingle All the Way die cut had bells, I used mini bells from the dollar store for the shaker part. I had to double up my adhesive strips to give the bells enough room to jingle when you shook the card. To tie in those bells, I die cut some from the Sounds of the Seasons Dies in the red and green foil and then tied 3 bells with linen thread.

Let’s Rejoice Christmas Card

My Let's Rejoice GDT Card — My Let’s Rejoice Christmas Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here again! I am sharing my Let’s Rejoice Christmas Card as my Guest Design Team Inspiration for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Angel Prayers. I created a slimline card for my Holy scene.

The Details of My Card

This digital stamp is perfect for so many occasions like birthday, sympathy, get well and thinking of you. However, for my card, I wanted her to be the Christmas Angel from the Nativity. So, I coloured her with my Copic Markers in Christmas colours.

I use the Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on her wings and smooshed the lines with my finger before they dried. This gives the lines a softer look, but still allows a flowing movement of her wings. I also used the same pen on all the gold accents to make them shimmer. Finally, I added Clear Wink of Stella on her wrap. You can never have too much sparkle where an angel is concerned!

Instead of a night scene, I decided to create a sunrise with the dawning of the birth of Jesus Christ. For my sunrise, I used my Distress Oxide Inks and my Mini Blending Tool starting with Fossilized Amber at the base of the watercolor paper, followed by Worn Lipstick, Wilted Violet, Broken China and Faded Jeans.

Once the colours were blended, I used my Splatter Tool dipped in Frost White Shimmer Paint and then in water to create the sky.

For my Nativity scene, the die I used comes as border. So, a few snips here and there and add my Sahara Sand dune to create my layered scene with lots of dimensionals between the layers.

The Gold Foil stars were from the Silent Night Dies from Creative Expressions. The North Star was snipped from the largest die in the set.

To finish the card, I used a Gold Foil mat followed by a Stitched Cherry Cobber mat.

My Christmas Nativity Scene

December 10, 2020 Leave a comment

It’s Laurie here with My Christmas Nativity Scene as my Design Team Inspiration for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. This time I wanted to create something a little different than a card! So, I made a multi layered shadowbox that lights up using the beautiful Nativity Christmas Digital Stamp.

My Christmas Nativity Scene Light Box — My Christmas Nativity Scene Lightbox

The Details of My Scene

I had so much fun colouring the Holy Family with my Copic Markers! Once I did that, I created my scene using a number of dies from my stash. I ended up with 4 different layers. I love my focal point of the Family and the manger behind them! The In Good Taste Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up has photographic images of wood. Perfect for my manger.

TIP: Since the inside of the frame is smaller than the outside, I made my largest layer 5 5/8″ x 5 5/8″. All layers were 5 5/8″ wide with varying heights depending on their position.

The next step was to attach the lights. The wire from the lights was very malleable allowing me to position them exactly where I wanted. I even added a couple of lights behind Jesus’s head to give him a glow. I ended up using a ton of scotch tape to secure the lights.

Once the lights were in place, the next step was to add Foam Adhesive Strips between the layers.

Here is a photo of all the layers adhered together. Now that is a lot of layers!

Not everyone is into home decor, but this project could easily be made into a card. If I remove the frame and lights, you get a good idea of how a card would look.

My Christmas Poinsettia Card

My Poinsettia Card — My Christmas Poinsettia Card

I am sharing My Christmas Poinsettia Card using the Poinsettia Petals Bundle by Stampin’ Up! Who wouldn’t love to receive a card like this with all the touchable accents!

I love the details you get from the Poinsettia Dies where you can see the veins of the petals and they are especially striking on the Red Velvet Paper! You can achieve this by layering the cutting dies and the embossing dies together. Resulting in only one pass through your die cutting machine.

For my card, I used a number of products from the Poinsettia Place Suite including the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper and the beautiful Beaded Pearls which are currently on sale! You can just see the Poinsettia Specialty Paper running horizontally underneath the poinsettia. I used a bone folder to give the poinsettia flower extra dimension by curling the leaves a little. The gold cord from the Wonder of the Season Ribbon Combo Pack and the Beaded Pearl add a touch of shimmer to the card. I just love the softness of this card with all its textures from the different papers used!
