My Santorini Window Card

My Welcoming Window Card — My Santorini Window Card

Today I am sharing my Santorini Window Card using the Welcoming Window Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I love that you can make different cards depending on which sentiment you use. This one is a birthday card, but I also made a Mother’s Day card for my mom too.

When I saw this bundle, I immediately thought of creating a window that shows the inside of the card. I went with bright colours that were inspired by a photo from our Greece trip to Santorini with the bright pink bougainvillea flowers against a white building.

I stamped directly onto the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper that carried over to the new Annual Catalogue. The white stucco sheet of DSP was perfect for my card. The shutters and window frame just had to be in Pacific Point since that colour reminds me of Santorini! To create my window, I used a piece of wind sheet between the window panes. I even used the part of the DSP that I cut of the window on the inside of my card. Then you would not see the glue that I used to adhere the Pacific Point frame on the front.

For the inside, I stamped my images centred on the page so that I can be seen through the window.

Stack of Sweet Wishes Card

My Design Team Card for Copic for Alle — My Stack of Sweet Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Stack of Sweet Wishes Card as my Guest Design Team Card for Copic for ALLE. I was so excited to be asked to be on their GDT again for the month of May. Their Color Challenge for May is using E (Earth Tone) Copic markers. I use Es in so much of my colouring. They really are a staple for me!

For my card, I pulled out Swiss Pixie Cupcake Birgitta by C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps. A friend, Nathalie, asked me to show her some colouring techniques and I thought this image would be a good one for us to colour together.

I showed her skin blending using E Copic Markers (E000/00/21/11/04/R20). Here is a collage of the skin colouring steps:

Next we worked on her hair using E Copic Markers (E18/E15/E13/E11). This is the collage for the step to colour the hair:

For my card, I created a mini slimline card for my sweet Birgitta! Since she is sitting, I placed her on a cake pedestal. I thought it would be a fun way to show her off. I use Galvanized Metallic paper for the pedestal. The flag banners were cut from the DSP so that they would match the other elements. A scattering of sequins adds some birthday festiveness to the card!

Happy Birthday Card

April 29, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Happy Birthday Card using the stamp called ‘Birthday Mouse’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. Everyone needs birthday card and this one is perfect for a little boy!

I decided to try my hand at making a Clean and Simple Card and let the image take centre stage for my card. I used my Copic markers to colour the stamp in oranges, blues, greens and yellows that I pulled from the Doodlebug Paper Pad. A great colour scheme for a little boy! I have been wanting to use the Stitched Whimsy Dies for a while and thought they would add a touch of whimsy to my card. The sentiment comes with the stamp, but I decided that I wanted to pop it up and added a bit of colour behind it with a piece of die cut paper from the paper pad. A scattering of sequins, Clear Wink of Stella on the star and dots and White Gelly Roll pen dots on the balloons finish my card off.

My Super Birthday Cards

April 26, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Yesterday was a little boy’s birthday and a few weeks ago was a big boy’s birthday. The big boy collects comics especially Superman and the little boy sent me a card with a Superman stamp on the envelope. So, I pulled out my Save The Day Grab and Go Box by Stamp Anniething to make My Super Birthday Cards.

The Details of My Cards

I love that this Grab and Go Box has everything you need to make your card including paper, adhesive, card bases and more! I stamped my super heroes twice and used my Copic Markers to colour them. Then I die cut them out using the matching die included in the box.

My Super Birthday Card - Version 1 — My Super Birthday Card – Version 1

My cards were quick ones to make since I mainly used the Save the Day paper sheets and the Comic Mat Die that come with the box. For one card, I pulled out the Background Scene Stencil and did some inking directly onto the white panel that was cut out from the Comic Mat Die. Next, I stamped the sentiment in black and just placed it back into the empty slot on the mat. The other panels were filled with different papers. I love the “Suddenly” just like in the old comics! I stamped the Whoosh!, coloured them with my Copic markers and then added Glossy Accents to make them pop. A few sequins add to the sparkle of the card.

My Super Birthday Card - Version 2 — My Super Birthday Card – Version 2

For my other card, I decided to use the “POW” from the paper since the big birthday boy would get a kick out of it from the old TV shows that we use to watch.

One final piece was that I put my super heroes onto Action Wobbles. How fun is that! The recipient can have them wobble on the card! Check it out!

Soar Confidently Birthday Card

April 8, 2021 Leave a comment

Today is I am sharing my Soar Confidently Birthday Card that I made for my father-in-law’s birthday that was yesterday using the Soar Confidently Stamp Set. My father-in-law loves planes, and I knew that a card with the plane from this set would be perfect for him! I just happened to decide to use all the images, as well as the plane.

The Details of My Card

Since the images look vintage, I decided to create an old world feel to my card. So, once I stamped my images on Very Vanilla card stock, I used my Blender Pen to “colour” the stamped images in certain areas where the line art was the strongest. I then fussy cut the stamped images out with my Paper Snips. To give my card more of a vintage feel I sponged ink along the edges. I usually don’t mix Very Vanilla and Basic White but thought the vintage look I was going for allowed it to work.

I decided to use the World of Good Designer Series Paper since it is perfect for a masculine card! Specifically, the one with the compasses on the Misty Moonlight background which reminded me of a blue sky. This paper is retiring and is currently on sale!

For my card, I wanted all the different flying machines to be in the air. So, I need some clouds which is where the Mountain Air Bundle came into effect. I stamped them in Misty Moonlight, but stamped off twice before stamping them on the Basic White card stock to give them a soft fluffy look.

I stamped the sentiment in a Stitched Rectangle, add a couple of banners with one in copper foil to match the copper stars from the Star Designer Elements.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Soar Confidently Stamp Set (154531), Mountain Air Bundle (153820), Stitched Rectangles Dies (151820), Tasteful Labels Dies (152886)

Inks: Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin’ Pad (153118), Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad (147114)

Paper: Early Espresso (119686), Very Vanilla (101650), Basic White (159276), World of Good Designer Series Paper (152491), Copper Foil Sheets (142020)

Accessories: Star Designer Elements (150430), Blender Pens (102845), Stamping Sponges (141337), Paper Snips (103579), Bone Folder (102300), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Stampin’ Seal (152813), Glue Dots (103683)

Measurements:

Early Espresso: 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
- ½” x 2 3/16” (banner)
World of Good Designer Series Paper: 5 ¼” x 4”
Basic White: 5 ¼” x 4” (inside piece)
- 3 pieces: 1 7/8” x 5/8” (for clouds)
- 1” x 2 3/8” (sentiment)

Fine Art Birthday Card

March 2, 2021 Leave a comment

Today is I am sharing my Fine Art Birthday Card using the Fine Art Floral Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I love this collection with the lovely flowers and textures on a modern take on classic impasto paintings. Rich textures, lovely florals, gold leafing, and more all work together for a fine art experience that is sure to yield beautiful and elegant results.

The Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set is so pretty with lots of lovely sentiments for all kinds of cards! And you can’t go wrong with the matching Floral Gallery Dies.

How to Use Gilded Leafing Embellishment

When I saw the Gilded Leafing Embellishment in the new mini, I was so excited! It was on the top of my list to buy. I have used similar products and just loved them. So, I knew I would love the Stampin’ Up! version.

For my card, I took the VersaMark Ink Pad and rubbed it on opposite corners of the DSP and the Mossy Meadow card stock (which was embossed first with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder). I then sprinkled Heat & Stick Powder to the ink and set it with my heat tool. It will melt like embossing powder but leaves a sticky residue behind to which you can adhere the Gold Gilding. I then burnished with my fingers the Gold Gilding removing the excess.

Imagine an artist, delicately painting individual canvases in a classic impasto style. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? That’s exactly what this paper is! A Stampin’ Up! artist hand-paint canvases with beautiful florals and textures in classic Stampin’ Up! colors. They then took those canvases, photographed them, and made them into this unique designer series paper. Your heart will grow wild when you get this paper in your hands. The pack includes florals, patterns, colour variance, and all the touches of professional paintings.

To finish my card, I added a strip of the gorgeous Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate behind the Fine Art Ribbon and the sentiment. A scattering of Gold Glitter Enamel Dots tie in the golden theme.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Art Gallery Bundle (156227)

Inks: Bumblebee Classic Stampin’ Pad (153116), Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin’ Pad (147111), VersaMark Ink Pad (102283

Paper: Bumblebee (153077), Mossy Meadow (133676), Basic White (159276), Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate (154557), Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (154558)

Accessories: Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317), 3/8″ Fine Art Ribbon (154561), Heat & Stick Powder (156110), Gilded Leafing Embellishment (154560), Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (152155), Heat Tool (129053 ), Bone Folder (102300), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Stampin’ Seal (152813), Glue Dots (103683)

Level Up Birthday Card

February 25, 2021 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Level Up Birthday Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls using Build Your Own Nest (Gamers). It comes with 3 digital images including a gamer boy, a gamer girl and a game console/games.

This set of digital stamps is perfect to create your own “room” using the Build Your Own Nest (Family Room). For my card, I decided that I wanted to highlight these cute gamers and their game box and games. So, I created a slim line card just for them.

I coloured them with my Copic markers in bright primary colours to match the paper that I picked. The Saved the Day paper has comic book noises like splat, boom, bam, etc. which I thought was perfect noises for video games, especially if they are playing super heroes! The game controller dies from My Favorite Things definitely had to be added to my card. I added glossy accents to the buttons on my controller to give them dimension. I had such a hard time choosing the sentiment for my card but decided on Level Up (Happy Birthday). Such a great sentiment for my card!

My Sweet Birthday Card

February 23, 2021 Leave a comment

Today is I am sharing My Sweet Birthday Card that I made for a swap using the Sweet Strawberry Bundle and the Sale-a-Bration Berry Bliss Bundle. There is only a few more day left of the Jan-Feb 2021 Sale-a-Bration and you can get the Berry Bliss Bundle for free with a qualifying $120 order.

I love how these two bundles coordinate with their berry sweet theme! The Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper is so pretty with its fresh and juicy paper designs. Both stamp sets are Distinktive and consist of two-step stamping to give you texture and dimension to your images.

Who doesn’t love a coordinating punch and what is better than the Strawberry Builder Punch! I even punched out a coordinating Granny Apple Green stem to top my strawberry.

I wanted to create a country theme by using the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder and the Denim Ribbon. The Stitched Oval also adds to my theme. The plaid DSP reminded me of a table cloth that has been laid on the ground to enjoy your picnic of berries. A couple of Red Rhinestones are the finishing touch and add a bit of sparkle to the card.

I had so much fun with my card that I ended up making 3 versions all with different sentiments.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Sweet Strawberry Bundle (156214), Berry Blessings Bundle (157613)

Inks: Crumb Cake Classic Stampin’ Pad (147116), Poppy Parade Classic Stampin’ Pad (147050), Pacific Point Classic Stampin’ Pad (147098), Granny Apple Green Classic Stampin’ Pad (147095)

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!

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)

Accessories: Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (152702), Blending Brushes (153611), Pool Party 3/8” Sheer Ribbon(152462), White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (109132), Heat Tool (129053), Square Vellum Doilies (152484), Rhinestone Basic Jewels (144220), Bone Folder (102300), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Stampin’ Seal (152813), Glue Dots (103683)

Measurements:

Pool Party: 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”
Basic Black: 3 pieces
- 5 1/8” x 3 7/8”
- 2 7/8” x 4”
- 3” x ½”
Basic White: 3 ¾” x 5”
True Love Designer Series Paper: 1 piece 3 ¾” x 2 ¾” then trimmed into 3 pieces at 1 ¼” x 2 ¾”

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.

Have A Spooktacular Birthday Card

October 28, 2020 6 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Have a Spooktacular Birthday Card. Today is my Hubby’s birthday! He’s been hinting at a Scooby Doo card since I made one for my brother back in May (I have posted it at the end) or a Halloween card. So, I made him both! I coloured with my Copic markers the Teen Detectives from Kindred Stamps for the 30 Day Coloring Challenge in June in anticipation of this card. My card is a slimline card since they are all the rage right now.

Instructions for
Have a Spooktacular Birthday Card

I had a ton of fun creating the spooky graveyard scene with lots of sponging and masking! The moon and the ground were masked while sponging Rich Razzleberry around the moon, Night of Navy for the sky and Memento at the edges of the sky. Next, I sponged the ground in Old Olive. Since it is a lighter colour then Night of Navy, I didn’t have to bother masking the sky. I added some hills by using the same masks and lightly sponging some black ink on different angles. Once I removed the masks, I stamped the grave stones and bats in black ink.

I added a slider mechanism for Shaggy and Scooby since they are always running away from the scary monsters in the series! LOL! And in this case, it is the cute ghosts that are immerging from the graveyard! The Large Slimline with Sliders Dies comes with sliders, but I found that they were too long for what I wanted. So, I created my own using the retired Classic Label Punch by Stampin’ Up! I punched one and a half times overlapping in the area I wanted the slider to be. I used some pennies and dimensionals to create my sliders.

A die cut spooky fence, tree and spider with Shimmery Crystal Effects to make it glitter add to the Spooktacular scene!

My Roll With It Shaker Card

October 27, 2020 Leave a comment

Tomorrow is my Hubby’s birthday! So, today I am sharing with you my Roll With It Shaker Card that I plan to give to him. I thought a shaker card would be so fun! It is using two stamp sets, Whiskey Business and Game On, that are perfect for him! We love to play games and have game time with our friends and family on a regular basis! Now he can shake the card and his dice will always come up 6 and 5! LOL! I even coloured the dice with the Real Red and Just Jade Stampin’ Blends to match the ones that he uses. In addition to gaming, he loves his single malt scotch and is always trying different types.

Details of My Roll With It Shaker Card

For my card, I wanted to create a masculine feel. So, the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper with Early Espresso card stock was perfect for it! I use the two largest Stitched Nested Labels to create my window frame. I stamped the checkerboard in Memento Black off twice before I randomly stamped it a third time on my Whisper White background piece. Once I did this, I created my shaker part with Foam Adhesive Strips, a piece of Window Sheet, a pinch of Woven Threads Sequins and my “dice”.

Close Up of Dice from My Roll With It Shaker Card

For the dice and the scotch, I stamped them on Whisper White with Memento Black. I then used my Stampin’ Blends to colour them. The dice were Real Red Dark/Light and Just Jade Dark/Light with Cinnamon Cider Dark/Light for the ground. The Scotch was Cinnamon Cider Dark/Light and Mango Melody Dark with Balmy Blue Light and Color Lifter for the glass. Once these were coloured, I fussy cut them out.

The sentiment stamped in Memento Black from Game On with a splash of Real Red behind it was perfect for my card! The finishing touch was decorating the inside by combining the two stamp sets again to create my sentiment.
