Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with My Molly’s Fairy Christmas Gift card! I am so excited to be joining Conie Fong Art & Design as a Guest Design Team Member for the next two months! I love her digital stamps! For my first GDT card, I am using the beautiful Molly’s Fairy Gift.
I had so much fun colouring Molly and her friend with my Copic markers! I wanted to create a shabby chic card, but with lots of sparkle and shimmer! This. was achieved by sponging the edges of my image with Vintage Photo ink and then heat setting some Shabby White Embossing Powder which has gold flecks in it. I further accented the flecks with gold foil die cut poinsettias and gold glitter enamel dots. To add more sparkle, I used red rhinestones and lots of Stardust Stickles! Don’t you just love the poinsettia punch flowers and leaves. They really add a nice dimension to the card! As my card says, Tis’ the Season!
It’s Laurie here with My Christmas Sled Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her The Little Sled Christmas Digital Stamp. Isn’t he just darling! When you were little, did your family go out tree hunting?
For my card, I wanted to create a natural feel since this little guy is picking out his Christmas tree in the snow. So I used things like the natural wooden star and tree, the linen thread, Natural White and Kraft Card Stock to add to my feel. Of course, you have to wear red and green when picking out your tree! I thought the papers, especially the O Christmas Tree flag at the top, were perfect for my card!

I am sharing my Boughs of Christmas Card using the Cherish the Season Bundle and the Beautiful Boughs Dies. Who wouldn’t love to receive a card with Christmas boughs and these gorgeous Red Foil bells! I love the details of the bells, especially the large one with the holly die cuts!
I pulled my colour scheme from the ‘Tis the Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to design my card. The top DSP piece adds a header that hides all the branch ends and creates balance with the Real Red sentiment. I stamped the branches from the Cherish the Season Bundle in Garden Green and Shaded Spruce on the Whisper White card stock in the shape of my boughs. Then, I layered the die cut boughs in Garden Green and Shaded Spruce from the Beautiful Boughs Dies on top of so that my stamping just peeks out from underneath. The Red Foil bells are strategically placed by tucking them into the boughs.
The beautiful Real Red Sheer Ribbon is tied in a bow. Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Shaded Spruce rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels add a bit of sparkle amongst the boughs.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing My Sweetest Season Christmas Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. I used the cute Elf Avery with Candy Cane! Isn’t she just the sweetest digital stamp! Avery looks ever so pleased with her candy cane!
When I coloured Avery with my Copic Markers, I knew that I wanted to use the Sweetest Border Dies from Stampin’ Up! with the die cut candy canes. Perfect for my card and what better use than to have the candy cane paper showing through the die cuts. It took me a couple tries to get the red die cut and the green die cut to match up, but I thought it helped to create a sweet background for Avery. I couldn’t resist using stickles on her hat trim and glossy accents on the berries to give her some sparkle. I loved the sentiment, but it was too long. So, I turned it on its side and added some embellishments from my stash.
Halloween is over! Time for some Christmas cards! Today I am sharing with you my Holly Jolly Gnome Christmas cards using the Gnome For The Holidays Cling Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! I love the gnomes from this set and the cute sentiments such as “There’s no place like GNOME for the Christmas season”! So, I made 2 variations of my card using two different gnomes.
For both cards, I combined the stamp set and the dies from the North Pole Wonder Dies to create a fun tag.
I used the hat of the girl gnome to stamp the edges of the Pear Pizzazz Stitched Rectangle. Such a neat technique using that stamp in a different way. Both my gnomes were coloured with Stampin’ Blends matching the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper and Ribbon using the Smooth Colouring Technique (more info on this technique).
The Girl Gnome
Since the gnomes do not come with dies, I fussy cut them out to make them pop up from the card. For embellishments, I tied the Real Red Braided Linen Trim through the tag’s hole, added a scattering of Wonderful Gems and added Shimmery Crystal Effects to the Christmas Bauble.
Close Up of The Shimmery Crystal Effects on Bauble
One difference between the two cards, besides the different pieces of the DSP, is that I used the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder on the guy gnome version to add a bit more visual effect.

I knew that I wanted to colour the family as a Momma Snowman and her little girl. I pulled the colours from the bright and cheery Doodlebug Winter Wonderland Paper Pad. Don’t you just love Doodlebug! Of course, you have to have lots of glitter when you are making a snowman card! In fact, I have it everywhere…on the card, on me, on my craft table! LOL! I dabbed some glue in the sky and on the ground and sprinkle glitter all over to create my snowy scene. I love the Frosty border and the snowflake die cuts from the Sparkle Glimmer Paper. The blue gems really glitter as well! This card is so pretty and sparkly in person!

This card is dedicated to my aunt and godmother who passed away yesterday. She loved collecting snow people and always had them out at Christmas and sometimes well after that! I always sent her a Christmas card with snow people on it. Always loved…never forgotten…forever missed!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Sweet Christmas Angels Cards for the Design Team of Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her cute Angels Christmas Digital Stamp. I had so much fun colouring these cuties that I ended up colouring two stamps! One with the traditional red, green and gold. The other one with soft pastel colours of pink, blue and gold. I had a This or That post of the coloured stamps earlier this week and was pleasantly surprised that they both were popular. Many people had a hard time choosing just one and so did I! So I created two cards with the same layout, just different papers and colour schemes.
This or That? Which Do You Pick?

My Merry & Bright Card Using Holiday Gifts Avery from Paper Nest Dolls
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Do you ever create non-traditional coloured Christmas cards? I couldn’t resist colouring the sweet Holiday Gifts Avery Digital Stamp in non-traditional pinks and purples for My Merry & Bright Christmas Card. Wouldn’t this stamp in these colours be a great winter birthday too! For this card, I added lots of bling with the glimmer paper snowflakes and snow bank and a ton of rhinestones. I always thought you can never have too much bling for a Christmas card! The sentiment pieces from the Doodlebug Chit Chat were a perfect complement to the card and don’t you just love the wooden present accent.
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I had so much fun creating my Peace on Earth Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls for the Shop@Home Christmas in July Expo that was on the weekend. This sweet stamp is called Holiday Friends. I went with a shabby chic distressed look using my distressing tool on all the papers. To add to this look, I also added Shabby White Embossing Enamel for sparkle and snow. I used my Marvy Snow Marker to create the puffed-up snow. My handmade poinsettias tie in the red colour of her dress and hat! Hope you like my PND Christmas in July card!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Christmas Cookies Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using the Christmas Baking Digital Stamp. One of my fondest memories of when I was little was making Christmas cookies with my mom. I loved to decorate them and, of course, eat them! I still make cookies each year but have limited them to only a few favourites. Otherwise, my waist wouldn’t like me! LOL!
This sweet image was so fun to colour with my Copic Markers and I thought the cookie cutter embellishments were perfect for my card! Doesn’t the Doodlebug paper with the holly on it look like the little girl’s apron! And of course, I had to have gingerbread people holding the sentiment which suites the card to a Christmas star!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Christmas in July Design Team Cards for Paper Nest Dolls! You get two cards for the price of one in this post! I love making cards for Christmas in July! It’s a good way for me to get a head start on all the Christmas cards that I make each year and what better way than with these cuties! Who else loves making cards for Christmas in July?
————————–
For the first card, I used the adorable Elf Sewing Teddy Digital Stamp. I couldn’t resist using a thimble, scissors and bobbin for sewing embellishments. And check out that sweet bear button! I used Stitched Rectangle Dies, a stitched felt star…even the paper has stitches on it! Do you see a theme here? Lol! I added some sparkle with the red rhinestones and White Baker’s Twine with red metallic thread.

For my next card. I used Elf Painting Train Digital Stamp. Such a cute stamp with his toy train and cars! He was a lot of fun to match my colouring of the other elf! Of course, all of Santa’s Elves have to have the same uniform! I thought the train and train cars from the All Aboard Die Set from Local King Rubber Stamp were perfect for the card! Of course, you need stars and black rhinestones to decorate the train! I also added a copper snowflake with jingle bells and the same White Baker’s Twine with red metallic thread.

Today I am sharing with you my Cardinal Card using the Toile Christmas Bundle. I was asked to present my colouring techniques at Stamp-a-Rama, a local event for 100 participants, in October and this is one of the cards that I made for it. If you are interested, I have included a PDF of my notes from the event at the bottom of this post.
I coloured this beautiful cardinal with the no-lines technique. This technique uses a light colour, like Sahara Sand, to stamp the image. The lighter colour gives you a guideline for your colouring without the harsh black lines and makes the image more real and vibrant. Once stamped, I used a flicking technique with my Cherry Cobbler Light and Dark Blends to create a lot of texture. This technique is achieved by applying ink in quick, single strokes. The key to this inking technique is to flick the marker tip across the page to create a single stroke that goes from dark to light.
Holding the marker loosely, start a downward movement towards the paper
As the marker tip touches the paper, quickly move across the paper, bringing your hand up and away from the paper. This will apply more ink at the beginning of the stroke and less at the end.
You may need to turn the paper to accommodate the angle that is most comfortable for you.
Close-Up of my colouring of the cardinal in My Cardinal Card
This technique allows the individual feathers to stand out such as on the tail. Next, I used the Dark Smokey Slate to darken the shadows in strategic locations, such as his tail, his breast and wing, giving the bird depth.
Supplies:
Stamps: Toile Christmas Cling Stamp Set (150469)
Dies: Christmas Cardinal Dies (150640), Christmas Layers Dies (150654), Stitched Rectangle Dies (148551)

Whisper White: 2 x 4 ½” (cardinal), 2” x 3” (sentiment), 2 ½” x 4 ¼” (branch)
Instructions:

Die cut the branch from the Christmas Layers Dies twice in opposite corners on the front of the Mossy Meadow card base.
Adhere the Night Before Christmas Designer Series Paper with snail to the back of the card front allowing the berries to peek through the die cut branches. This also allows the back of the DSP to show on the inside of the card creating visual interest.
Die cut the Old Olive card stock using the third largest Stitched Rectangle Die.
Emboss the Stitched Old Olive piece with the Woodland Embossing Folder.
Stamp the cardinal in Sahara Sand on Whisper White card stock.
Colour the cardinal using the flicking technique described above in Cherry Cobbler and Light Basic Black.

Stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink the branches on Whisper White card stock.
Colour the leaves, branches and berries with Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler Light and Dark Blends
Using the branch die from the Christmas Cardinal Dies, die cut the branch out.
Add Shimmery Crystal Effects to the berries on the branch and set aside to dry.
Stamp the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler on Whisper White card stock and die cut it with the matching die from the Christmas Cardinal Dies.
The Stitched Old Olive piece is popped up with dimensionals.
Using snail adhere the branch to the Old Olive piece.
Layer the cardinal on top of the branch making it appear as if he is standing on the branch.
The sentiment is popped up with dimensionals.

Winter Reindeer Card Using the Snow Globe Scenes Dies
Today I am sharing with you my Winter Reindeer Card that has a unique twist on the Snow Globe Scene Dies. It is using the dies not to create a snow globe, but a vignette of a winter scene.

Die cut the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP with the dome die from the Snow Globe Scenes Dies.
Die cut the Mossy Meadow with the Tree die from the Snow Globe Scenes Dies.
Next, die cut the Very Vanilla with the In The Woods Dies to create a snowbank.

Using snail adhesive, adhere the Night of Navy card stock to the Thick Very Vanilla card base and the Embossed Mossy Meadow to the Night of Navy.
Adhere with snail the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP to the copper foil leaving a small border at the top and sides.

The reindeer is popped up with dimensionals in front of the Mossy Meadow trees.
Attach the scene to the Mossy Meadow with snail adhesive.
Attach the larger Very Vanilla/Copper Classic Weave Ribbon to the snowbank wrapping around the back and securing with snail adhesive.
Tie the smaller Very Vanilla/Copper Classic Weave Ribbon in a knot to the larger ribbon on the left side of the snowbank. Trim the tails.
Add the Very Vanilla snowbank with dimensionals overlapping the winter scene to make it look like the reindeer is walking through snow.
Today I am sharing with you my Deck the Halls Card that I presented at my Leader’s Demonstrator Meeting this past week. I also made a video on how I made this card that can be found at the bottom of this post. The card uses the beautiful Brightly Gleaming Suite. I couldn’t resist copper embossing the sentiment to match the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper with its striking copper accents! I had fun colouring with my Blends the holly and berries from the Christmas Gleaming Cling Stamp Set. The Shimmery Crystal Effects on the berries and the rhinestones add a nice touch of sparkle to the card.
