I was lucky enough to attend the Stampin’ Up! OnStage@Home Event in November. For this event, we were allowed to buy things from the new Mini Catalogue early! The Dragonfly Garden Bundle with the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper and the Ladybug Trinkets were on the list. We made 3 cards using these products and I am sharing with you my first Dragonfly Garden Card today.
I love that you get a punch with the stamp set for this bundle! Makes it so handy! And those Ladybug Trinkets are so adorable!
My Blowing Wishes Your Way Card for Conie Fong Art & Design
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!

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.
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 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.

The Beautiful World cling stamp set has globe imagery and sentiments that have to do with adventure. The sentiments are designed to work on the outside and the inside of your card project. The World Map dies cut out the imagery from the stamp set. The World of Good Specialty DSP has a 16th Century map style feel with gold foiling. The star maps on the DSP represent both Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Get the perfect weathered looking paper with the Old World Paper 3D embossing folder. Using this embossing folder will make it faster and easier to get an aged look on your paper, without the unwanted tearing.
To add to the travel and adventure theme Stampin’ Up! has included the Old World Memories and more card pack. When adding the final touches to your project you will love the antiqued brushed embellishments and the Early Espresso ribbon.
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!”

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.
