Animal Card - Stamp With Laurie

My Birthday Treat Card

February 11, 2025 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Birthday Treat Card using the sweet Daisy and Me by Mo’s Digital Pencil. I have a birthday twin whose birthday is the same day as mine! She loves her dogs and when I saw this new digital stamp, I knew it was perfect for her birthday card!

The Details of My Birthday Treat Card

For my card, I decided to create a Z-fold card so that I could decorate all the panels with the gorgeous Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! The ready-to-use die cuts that are included in the DSP were perfect for my birthday theme!

But first, I coloured with my Copic markers the dog and girl to look like my friend and her dog, Rocky! He has very distinctive marking including eyebrows! Lol. I added Glossy Accents to her phone and Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to the heart tag on Rocky’s collar.

To add to the birthday celebrations, I used the Birthday Celebration Dies by Stampin’ Up!, as well as, a bow Corner Die from Memory Box on the front panel of the card. The cupcake was from the DSP ready-to-use die cuts and matched my colour scheme perfectly!

The sentiment was from the retired Pampered Pets Stamp Set and stamped in Blueberry Bushel before die cutting it with one of the Unbounded Love Dies.

For the inside, I decorated the panels with the DSP and die-cuts. Don’t you love that cake and banner! So festive! The inside sentiment was from the Throughout the Year Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! and stamped in Blueberry Bushel as well. A floral die cut was the finishing touch to the sentiment panel.

For embellishments, I added some Party Dots on the front to matched my colour scheme.

My Otterly Amazing Card

February 4, 2025 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Otterly Amazing Card using the Otterly Amazing Bundle which includes the Otterly Amazing Stamp Set and the Otterly Amazing Dies by Stampin’ Up!

The Details of My Otterly Amazing Card

I received a fun puzzle card in a swap back in October and thought this fun fold would work well with the Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper, especially the pages with the scene. But this card was for a swap, and I didn’t have enough papers with the scene. So, I used other playful aquatic scenes as well to complete my swaps.

For my card, I took a 11” x 4 ¼” Pretty Peacock piece and scored it according to the instructions below. Then, I cut a to 5 ½” x 4 ¼” piece to the measurements below. Tip: once the base is folded, adhere the smaller piece to the front when it is closed so that everything lines up.

Next, I added my DSP to the appropriate squares to create my scene. I love that the dies cut out several otters from the DSP. So, instead of colouring them (I know gasp! Lol!), I die cut one for each card.

To add to my scene, I die cut some seaweed from Old Olive card stock and added it to the left side of card, overlapping the sentiment.

For the sentiment, I white embossed it on a piece of Balmy Blue and die cut it out with the smallest rectangle from the Something Fancy Dies.

For the inside, I added a piece of Basic White with the fish and sentiment stamped in Lost Lagoon.

As a finishing touch to the front of my card, I added a scattering of Riverside Irregular Pearls.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Otterly Amazing Bundle (164933), Something Fancy Dies (160424)

Inks: VersaMark Ink (102283), Lost Lagoon Classic Stampin’ Pad (161678)

My Doggone Birthday Card

January 23, 2025 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Doggone Birthday Card using the One More Year Stamp Set and the Doggone Friendly Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!

My younger brother’s birthday is next week and the pug from the One More Year Stamp Set reminded me of my older brother’s dog, Bruiser. He was such a character and well loved by the family! My younger brother was the dog sitter for when my older brother and his wife traveled. So, they both would know who the dog is on the card.

The Details of My Doggone Birthday Card

For my card, I thought combining the two stamp sets with the ready-to-use die cuts from the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper would work well together to create a birthday card.

The first thing I did was colour with my Stampin’ Blends the pug to look like Bruiser. Since he had a dark face, paws and ears, I used the dark Gray Granite Stampin’ Blend for them and the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack for the rest of his body. To soften the edges where his darker fur met his white tummy, I used the Color Lifter. Once that was done, I used my Paper Snips to fussy cut him out.

Next, I stamped in Crumb Cake the Doggone Friendly Stamp Set twice. Once on Crumb Cake for a tone-on-tone look and again on Basic White. Then, I ripped the Crumb Cake piece on an angle and matched the images up on the Basic White piece. Since I made sure that they were both larger than what I needed, I was able to match them up and then trim them down to the size I wanted.

For the sentiment, I stamped Blueberry Bushel on Basic White. I die cut it out with the largest flag from the Stylish Shapes Dies and then trimmed off one end with my Paper Snips.

The balloon and cupcake ready-to-use die cuts from the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper were the perfect accents for my birthday theme!

As a finishing touch to my card, I added some Blueberry Bushel gems to match my colour scheme and Wink of Stella on the pug’s hat and the cupcake icing.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: One More Year Stamp Set (164777), Doggone Friendly Stamp Set (162729), Stylish Shapes Dies (159183)

Inks: Blueberry Bushel Classic Stampin’ Pad (147138), Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad (132708), Crumb Cake (147116)

Just Me and My Puppy

June 24, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! It is starting to feel like summer! So, I am sharing Just Me and My Puppy as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Emmas Sweet Friend enjoying an ice cream cone together!

The Details of Just Me and My Puppy

I just love this sweet digital stamp which reminded me of my puppy So, I coloured him with my Copic markers to look like my Jesse Pup. To match Jesse, I coloured Emma to look like me so that my card looked like my puppy and me! So fun!

For my card, I decided to use the Pampered Pooch Collection by Photo Play with its bright colours and puppy theme. Even the sentiment “furrever friends” is a sticker from that collection.

Next, I added a die cut white wooden fence using the Wood Textured Specialty Paper to add some interest to the background and balance out my card.

Since they are sharing an ice cream cone, I thought I would build a double scooped one with sprinkles and a heart rhinestone that I coloured red with my Copic marker. I even coloured the punched-out ice cream with my Copic markers to give it definition.

To balance out the ice cream cone, I added a MDF heart with a paw print inside which I placed beside my sentiment and layered a die cut heart beneath it.

Finally, for embellishments, I added a scattering of red rhinestones and used Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen for the dog tag.

My Purr-Fect Day Card

February 25, 2024 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Purr-Fect Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the new release Cat With Balloons. Isn’t he just the cutest floating with his balloons!

The Details of My Purr-Fect Day Card

For my card, I decided to create a slimline slider card so that the cat looked like he was floating up as the mechanism was pulled!

So, I created a scene with the slimline clouds die from Whimsy and the stitched sun from the Spring Showers Dies. Next, I layered the Sunny Days Designer Series Paper behind it to add more clouds. Once that was done, I added a house that I fussy cut from the P13 paper and layered a few stitched hills in front.

To keep my card simple since I didn’t want to detract from the slider, I added a sentiment die cut with a stitched rectangle.

Now that the front of the card was done, it was time to create the mechanism for the slider using the Slimline Pull Tab Dies by Heffy Doodle. Tip: I used the Foam Adhesive Strips by Stampin’ Up! to create enough dimension between the front of the card and the card base to help the slider mechanism to move smoothly.

My Puppy Valentine Card

February 14, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Happy Valentine’s Day! I am sharing My Puppy Valentine Card using Puppy Love Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps that I used for my Hubby’s Valentine card! We love Disney and the Lady and the Tramp movie is a favourite of ours! So, when I saw this stamp set, I knew I would use it for his card.

The Details of My Puppy Valentine Card

For my card, I decided to make a mini slimline card to match my Falling Hearts Etched Metal Die by Photo Play. So, I used the Flirty Flamingo hearts paper from the Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! with this die. This DSP is free during Sale-a-Bration 2024 and is perfect for those Valentine cards with its hearts and gold accents! I also used a solid Real Red plaid piece from this DSP as a base peeking through the hearts and extended it beyond the die cut Falling Hearts to create a mat.

Since I had the Candy Hearts Dies out already out from my other cards, I decided to use them again! Two hearts were clustered around the sentiment from Conie Fong Art & Design and the other two hearts with a heart doily above the puppies.

The only embellishments that I added were some Red Rhinestones scattered to add sparkle.

Copic Markers:

Season to be Freezin’ Card

January 22, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Season to be Freezin’ Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Yeti with Tree. Paper Nest Dolls has several Yeti stamps to the point you could have a whole Yeti family! I just love these cuties so much that I made another card with the Yeti Father and Son for Christmas and have included a link at the end of this post to it.

The Details of My Season to be Freezin’ Card

For my Yeti, I had coloured him with my Copic markers before Christmas but didn’t get a chance to get him onto a card. So, I decided to create a winter themed card for him. I coloured his fur texture with individual strokes in the shadows and left the highlights white. The tree was also coloured with individual strokes to create lots of texture.

The Doodlebug paper that I used, had Yetis on it, but I went with more neutral papers to create my wintery scene. The sentiment was from the matching Chit Chat and was perfect for my wintery theme.

Next, I added a birch tree die cut for my wintery scene and, to add interest, I used a Stitched Hillside Die to complete my scene.

For embellishments, I used some wooden snowflakes that I had in my stash for that rustic look.

Warmest Winter Wishes Card

January 18, 2024 4 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Warmest Winter Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Baby Seals On Iceberg from her drawing tutorial on You Tube. Conie Fong has started a Draw with Conie YouTube channel where you can draw along with her: https://www.youtube.com/@DrawWithConie. Don’t forget to subscribe to her channel while you are there for more tutorials that come out each week!

You can share your drawings in her Draw with Conie Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/339082068864209/

The Details of My Warmest Winter Wishes Card

For my card, I kept my card design simple in line with the simple drawing of the seals. The seals were coloured with very few Copic markers leaving a lot of uncoloured white space. Really, I just coloured the shadows for them and the ice flow and used my Colorless Blender to soften the edges of the colour to the white.

I had the perfect Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! to create a mini slimline card for these cuties! It had a winter artic scene with icebergs and ice flow, but it had polar bears on it! So, I strategically cut my DSP so that the bears would be hidden by the placement of my seals. Lol!

Next, I used a white mini slimline scallop die cut to frame my scene having it pop from all the blues. This also gave a support for my seals so that it looked like the seals are floating out of the scene.

The sentiment was stamped on white, and die cut with a stitched flag die. Again, I liked how it popped against the dark blue sky. The final touch was a few wooden stars that I had in my stash.

Grouchy Kitty Birthday Card

August 15, 2023 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Grouchy Kitty Birthday Card using the Grouchy Pets Clear Stamp Set and matching dies by CC Designs. It was my sister-in-law’s birthday recently and I thought she would find this kind of snarky card funny!

The Details of My Card

For my Grouchy Kitty Birthday Card, I knew that I wanted to use the grouchy cats from CC Designs since I thought my SIL (sister-in-law) would get a kick out of them! Plus, I found the perfect poem online that I typed out on my computer and printed off. If you watch Sheldon the TV series, you will get the reference. I knew that my SIL would get a laugh out of it!

A poem about a grouch cat — Grouchy Kitty Poem

My SIL has a brown tabby cat. So, I coloured with my Copic markers one of the cats to look like it. For variation, I made another black and the third an orange tabby. For the tabby cats, I used a Copic multi liner to create their stripes in a triangle scribble shape.

Next, I pulled out my Small Slimline with Lift the Flaps Dies by Lawn Fawn. I love this interactive die set! So fun! I thought it would be neat to have one cat on the front holding a balloon. Don’t you just love the face on this cat! Like he is so put out that he must hold a balloon! Lol!

When the flaps are open, you see the other cats and the grouchy kitty poem. I used my paper snips to cut down the cats to fit and added a party hat sticker to each of the cats. Again, the faces of those cats are so priceless especially since they must wear party hats! I can definitely see a cat making that face! Lol!

All Three Panels Open showing two cats with party hats and the grouchy kitty poem — All Three Panels Open

I added a few present stickers to dress up the poem panel. On the front of the card, I added some paw gems and red rhinestones for embellishments.

True North Beavers Card

July 1, 2023 Leave a comment

A Canada Day card with two beavers on it — True North Beavers Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my True North Beavers Card using ‘Canadian Beavers’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. This stamp is quintessentially Canadian, and I thought it would make a great Canada Day card!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I knew that I wanted to use the O Canada 2 cardstock. I have been waiting to use it since I bought it last summer! It’s perfect to celebrate Canada Day especially with the Eh! word bubbles! Lol! I also knew that I wanted to use the maple leaves and wood grain papers. So, I created a simple tryptic card front to layer my polaroid focal point.

The beavers were coloured with my Copic markers to match the papers. I made the parent beaver a little darker than the little beaver to help distinguish the two. I coloured their noses with a black gelly pen and used a white one to add highlights. Once they were coloured, I placed them into my polaroid frame that I die cut out. It’s like they are taking a selfie on Canada Day! Lol!

I added a die cut maple leaf at the base of the polaroid frame with a sentiment from the stickers. The stitched real red heart was die cut and layered with a heart with maple leaves from the ephemera pack to balance the sentiment. I trimmed down the True North piece from the ephemera pack and place it so that it was peeking out from my frame. Red rhinestones were the finishing touch adding some sparkle and tying in my red colour scheme.

Down on the Farm Card

A card with a farmer, cow and horse on a farm. — Down on the Farm Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Design Team Inspiration Card using Down on the Farm Bundle by Paper Nest Dolls. This card would be great for Father’s Day! This bundle comes with 15 digital stamps including 5 dolls, horse, cow, pig, ewe, chicken coop, tractor, hay, corn, sunflowers and so many more. I created another slimline card using this bundle which I will link at the end of this post.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a mini slimline card with a farm scene that revolved around the characters that I coloured with my Copic markers. Aren’t they just the cutest!

The Farm Scape dies were perfect for my scene. I die cut the dies multiple times to get the variation in colours of the barn, tractor and trees and pieced them together. Once that was done, I layered the Fun on the Farm papers for the sky and grasses to complete my scene. All I needed to add were the characters.
