My Reindeer Games Card

My Reindeer Games Card - a Christmas card with 3 reindeers playing in the North Pole
My Reindeer Games Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Reindeer Games Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the new release Santa And Reindeers Bundle. This Bundle includes 16 images (8 JPG & 8 PNG format images):

  • Title 1: Reindeer Flight
  • Title 2: Reindeer Bow
  • Title 3: Reindeer Scarf
  • Title 4: Santa Baby Reindeer
  • Title 5: Rudolph Flight
  • Title 6: Have A Merry Christmas Sentiment
  • Title 7: Reindeer Bell
  • Title 8: Santa Reindeer Friends

The Details of My Reindeer Games Card

For my card, I decided to use three of the reindeer friends including Reindeer Flight, Reindeer Bow and Rudolph Flight to make a mini slimline North Pole scene card.

I coloured the stamps with my Copic markers and added black noses using my Black Gelly Roll Pen leaving a small white showing for a highlight. I added Glossy Accents to the bells and Star Dust Stickles to the bow.

Next, I coloured my MountainScape die cut with my Copic markers to create my scene. Most people don’t think about colouring their die cuts, but it really adds to them especially when you have different elements like a scene.

I love the Lights or Aurora Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! It looks awesome and created an easy night sky!

All the was left was to add a snow hill on which the reindeers could frolic!

My Wicked Halloween Card

My Wicked Halloween Card - A Halloween Card with a witch on it
My Wicked Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Wicked Halloween Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Sunflower Witch from the Sunflower Witch/Sunflower Isabella. This Bundle includes 4 images:

  • Title 1: Sunflower Isabella Left
  • Title 2: Sunflower Isabella Right
  • Title 3: Sunflower Witch Left
  • Title 4: Sunflower Witch Right

The Details of My Wicked Halloween Card

Since Halloween is this week, I decided to use Sunflower Witch for my card. I love Sunflower Isabella as well! I may have to make a card with her as some point! Lol!

First, I coloured my Sunflower Witch with my Copic Markers. I thought red hair would work well with my paper choice. The sunflower papers by Crafters Companion were perfect for the theme of my card! Two strips of black glimmer paper really added some spooktacular sparkle to my card.

Since my witch was so large, I decided to create her as my focal point and layered different things behind her. I started with a spider web doily, added a broom with a “Wicked” Quote Chip and a paper sunflower.

Glossy Accents were added to the berries and Star Dust Stickles to the daisies’ flower centres. The finishing touch was to add some Black Rhinestones for sparkle.

‘Tis the Season Card 

‘Tis the Season Card - a Christmas card with a turkey in a gift box
‘Tis the Season Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my ‘Tis the Season Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Turkey in Gift Box from the Turkey Bundle. This Bundle includes 14 images:

  • Title 1 & 2: Turkey with Pie JPG/PNG
  • Title 3 & 4: Turkey with Gift JPG/PNG
  • Title 5 & 6: Turkey Walking JPG/PNG
  • Title 9 & 10: Turkey Christmas Tree JPG/PNG
  • Title 11 & 12: Turkey Candy Cane JPG/PNG
  • Title 13 & 14: Turkey in Gift Box JPG/PNG

The Details of My ‘Tis the Season Card

For my card, I decided to use Turkey in Gift Box  and make it into a Christmas card, but he can be used for different occasions like a birthday, Thanksgiving, etc. I coloured Turkey with Pie recently and made a Thanksgiving card. I will post a link to it at the end of this post. Love that these turkeys can cover so many different celebrations!

First, I coloured my Turkey in Gift Box with my Copic Markers and made his gift box with Christmas colours.

Once that was done, I decided to create a slimline card using the stackable Dotted Slimline Creative Dies by Studio Katia. Loved the stitching around the edge and on the inside window of the Real Red Textured card front.

I just bought the Holly Jolly 8” x 8” Scrapbooking Paper Pad by Mintay Papers. It has super cute images and I thought the elf hanging from the Christmas tree was so cute peeking through the opening. To match the Christmas tree in the paper, I used a Pine Branch Die by Impression Obsession and hung it at angle like a branch was poking out from the opening. This branch created a perfect backdrop for my sentiment. A white poinsettia with a Mossy Meadow holly leaf was added at the top to finish off the corner and highlight the sentiment.

I decided that the I needed to dress up the Real Red mat and went with Sparkle Glimmer Paper snowflakes that I punched out with my Martha Stewart Punch. All this was added to a Mossy Meadow card base.

The finishing touches were to add some Red Rhinestones for sparkle, Glossy Accents to his eyes and beak and Star Dust Stickles to his hat’s trim.

The Details of My Thankful Grateful Blessed Card

The Canadian Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away. So, I decided that the Turkey with Pie would be perfect for my Thanksgiving card! Love this kooky turkey with his big buggy eyes and his Thanksgiving pie! Lol!

This was the first time for me to colour a turkey! So, I had to look online and do some research with the colours. Once, I had an idea, I coloured my turkey with my Copic Markers.

For my mini slimline card, I just bought the Simple Vintage Autumn Breeze Collector’s Essential Kit by Simple Stories and decided to use that for my card. It had everything that I needed including sentiments and chipboard embellishments!

The Bracket/Speech Bubble Dies by Photo Play make it easy to create a fun mini slimline card.

The finishing touch was to add some Red Rhinestones for sparkle and Glossy Accents to his eyes, beak and feet.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing A Purr-Fect Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Sophie and Kitty/Puppy Bundle. This Bundle includes 8 images:

  • 1 and 2: Sophie and Kitty V1 (with flowers on dress) (JPG and PNG format)

  • 7 and 8: Sophie and Puppy V2 (without flowers on dress) (JPG and PNG format)

The Details of A Purr-Fect Day Card

This week was the birthday of my Stampin’ Up! Guru who also loves to colour. Her name is Sofi and loves cats! So, I couldn’t resist creating a card with Sophie and her kitty! Sophie also comes with a puppy version if you are not a cat person! I created a card with the puppy version a few years ago and will post it at the end.

I love this sweet image by Conie Fong and had fun colouring it with my Copic markers to match the Belle Fleur papers by Photo Play. Then, I added Wink of Stella to her hair bow and blue trim since you must have sparkle on a birthday card! Lol!

I found this delicate doily in my stash and thought it gave her a perfect backdrop against the die cut green layer. Next, I layered the ribbon swirl so that it seemed to be emerging from behind the green layer. I love that look!

The finishing touch was to add some of my favourite punched hydrangea flowers with pearls around my sentiment and the ribbon swirl.

Hello Sweet Friend Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Hello Sweet Friend Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Hello Little Friend Bundle. This Bundle includes 5 images:

  • Title 1: Hello Little Friend JPG format only
  • Titles 2, 3: Mushrooms JPG/PNG format
  • Titles 4, 5: Sentiment: Hello Sweet Friend PNG/JPG format

The Details of My Hello Sweet Friend Card

I love this sweet image by Conie Fong and had fun colouring it with my Copic markers. Then, I added Wink of Stella to the butterfly wings to make them shimmer.

Since the scene was so large, I decided to use it for most of my card front with only a few die cuts as accents. So, I had the Mini Fanciful Flourish overlapping my main focal point as if nature is cradling the scene. A vellum die cut butterfly was the other accent that I added to mirror the butterfly in the scene.

For my papers, I went with some DSP from my stash that had a mushroom theme. Perfect for my scene.

The finishing touch was to add some Red Rhinestones for sparkle.

The Details of My Panda Lotus Card

For my card, I went looking to see what I had in my stash that would fit a lotus flower and low and behold, I found an old Paper Pumpkin Kit that I didn’t finish! Lol

But first, I coloured my image with my Copic markers and decided to add a bright lotus flower to make the image pop from the background.

Next, I heat embossed in white the sentiment and added a Bubble Bath mat to make it stand out.

The Kit came with some clear resin dots that I added to my lily pad and around my focal point.

The finishing touch was to add some Dragonfly Trinkets. Perfect for a lily pond!

My Christmas Angel Card

My Christmas Angel Card  - a Christmas card with an angel holding a globe
My Christmas Angel Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Christmas Angel Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Angel of Christmas Stars

The Details of My Christmas Angel Card

For my card, I thought a shabby chic look would suit such a traditional stamp! So, I coloured her with my Copic markers in reds and greens and brushed my Vintage Photo Ink along the edges to give it an old-world look.

Once that was done, I used my Gold Gelly Roll Pen on the poinsettia centres and the trim on her dress. Next, I used Glossy Accents on the globe to give it a glass look. Finally, I added some glitter to her wings since all angels should have ethereal looking wings!

I love the beautiful Mintay papers especially the one with the poinsettias to match the angel’s poinsettias. I brushed Vintage Photo Ink onto the Mintay papers to give them the old-world look as well. Next, I tucked in a gold foil die-cut poinsettia cluster off to one side of my focal point to tie in my gold accents. 

For the sentiment, I printed out one of the many Christian sentiments from Volume 17 of Sassy’s Cards and Gifts. I then used my laminator to gold foil it and punched it out. Next, I brushed more Vintage Photo Ink to it to give it an old-world look. I then matted it with a Real Red die-cut stitched circle.

To balance the sentiment, I added on the opposite side, a corner sprig from the Mintay die-cuts that matched my paper. On top of that, I added a beautiful paper poinsettia with golden accents to tie in the angel’s poinsettias.

The finishing touch was to add some red rhinestones and gold glimmer dots around the sentiment for sparkle.

My Sending Hugs Card

My Sending Hugs Card - a card with a koala holding onto a tree
My Sending Hugs Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Sending Hugs Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Eucalyptus Tree Koala and Sentiment Bundle. Isn’t he just the cutest? This listing includes a total of 4 images:

  • Eucalyptus Tree Koala Right JPG format only
  • Eucalyptus Tree Koala Left JPG format only
  • Sending Hugs Sentiment JPG/PNG format

The Details of My Sending Hugs Card

First, I coloured this cutie with my Copic Markers and added Wink of Stella to the flower petals. I decided to use a W blend to give him a warm life-like colour.

Once that was done, I decided to create a faux-fun fold! Lol! I knew that I wanted to use my Palm Leaf Frame Die by Paper Rose, but my koala would have covered it almost completely. So, instead of centering him on the card, I turned the card and set him off to one side which meant he poked up above the card base. This placement gave my card a faux-step card look.

Next, I die cut the Tropical Escape DSP with the Palm Leaf Frame to add interest to it. Then, I layered a pink piece of DSP behind it to match the pink in the flowers. The pink flowers were cut from the DSP as well using the matching Tropical Dies.

The sentiment was die cut out with a stitched flag die and I layered a paper palm leaf and the pink flowers to match my DSP. To add interest to my palm leaf stem, I used a wooden skewer from my kitchen and wrapped it around to make it curl. Another palm leaf was tucked under my focal point.

The finishing touch was to add some rhinestones to the flower centres and card base for sparkle.

My Kitty Birthday Card

My Kitty Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Kitty Birthday Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the cute Cat With Balloons. I coloured this image twice a while back and I finally made a card for him! Lol! I will post the other card that I made using this image at the end of this post.

The Details of My Kitty Birthday Card

For my card, I decided to use the Everyday Skies Designer Series Paper with the Everyday Arches Dies by Stampin’ Up! for my sky. But first I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers. I added Wink of Stella to the balloons to make them shimmer.

Next, I added dimension with layers of stitched clouds behind my arched focal point on the orange background piece. I even added more clouds on my focal point behind the Kittie. 

The sentiment was die cut out with a stitched flag die to match the stitching on the arches.

The final touch was to add some Adhesive-Backed Birds to my scene and another one to the orange DSP.

The Details of My Mermazing Day Card

For my card, I decided to go out of my comfort zone and colour with my Copic markers Rosealea in oranges. I don’t usually use orange in my colouring. But since there was a lot going on in the background, I thought it would make her pop from my shaker card and match the orange fish in the background DSP.

The Waves Die by Spellbinders was a new purchase, and it went perfectly with my mermaid theme!  Since the die took up the whole card front with lots of peek through holes, I decided to create a shaker card. 

To create my focal point, I added behind Rosealea gold foil coral and some vellum seaweed. Rosealea and the seaweed helped lead your eye up to the sentiment.

Next, I adhered a scattering of gold shell sequins from the Sea Sequins to the front of my card, along with some blue sequins from the Stardust Sequins to tie in my colour scheme.

Finally, to add some sparkle, I used Clear Wink of Stella on her tail and Glossy Accents on the pearls in her hair.

Mother’s Day Bouquet Card

Mother’s Day Bouquet Card - a card with flowers in a watering can
Mother’s Day Bouquet Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums out there! I am sharing my Mother’s Day Bouquet Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Garden Bouquet from the Garden and Bootiful Bouquet. This purchase includes 2 Images:

  • Title 1: Garden Bouquet
  • Title 2: Bootiful Bouquet

The Details of My Mother’s Day Bouquet Card

Since Mother’s Day is this weekend, I thought I would colour with my Copic Markers a bouquet of flowers and decided to use the Garden Bouquet. I love all those spring flowers that Conie used in her bouquet! Perfect for a Mother’s Day card!

For the designer paper, I used the Spring Whispers Decorative Papers since it has watering cans with flowers on it. Perfect for my image! The butterfly and bee papers in the background was also from those papers. The Spring Whispers Coloured Card Collection made it easy to match my papers!

To add some interest to my card, I added a tulip border on one side. I used my Copic Markers to colour the die cut to match the colours of the tulips in the image. I also used the Coloured Card Collection to die cut a matching-coloured butterfly and watering can.

The sentiment was from a retired stamp set that was stamped in Orchid Oasis Ink and matted with the a pink from the Coloured Card Collection.

To add some sparkle, I used my Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on the hydrangea flower centres and Wink of Stella on the bow. The finishing touch was a scattering rhinestones to add even more sparkle.

My Easter Greetings Card

My Easter Greetings Card - an Easter card with an Angel holding flowers
My Easter Greetings Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Easter Greetings Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Angel Wishes. This purchase includes 2 Images with Angel facing left and right.

The Details of My Easter Greetings Card

For my card, I decided to create a mini slimline Easter card with this sweetie! So, I knew that I wanted to colour her with my Copic markers in soft pastel Easter colours of purples, pinks, yellows and greens. For the purple, I decided to use my BVs instead of my traditional Vs to match the papers. Another big departure for me is that I coloured her wings in B45/B41. I usually use much lighter colours like B000/B00 or BG10/BG11. My colour choices were out of my comfort zone, but I was pleased with how she turned out!

For the designer paper, I used two different paper packs. The butterfly paper in the background was from Spring Whispers and the florals was from Sweet Tweets both by The Paper Boutique. The Spring Whispers Coloured Card Collection made it easy to match my papers!

To anchor my Angel, I added a stitched circle and another circle mat. I had debated about using the Tulip Doily for my card, but decided it was too busy. However, the inside circle die from the Tulip Doily was the perfect fit for the mat of my stitched circle. I offset the circle and trimmed off the excess.

The sentiment was already on my desk leftover from anther card. It was from the Easter Bunny Trio Bundle. I added a stitched die cut behind my sentiment with the same paper to tie in the floral paper behind my focal point.

To add some sparkle, I used my Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on her wings and the ruffle of her dress. To create a soft look, I smooshed my finger on the ink before it dried.

The finishing touch was a scattering of butterflies to match the butterflies in the designer paper.

Easter Bunny Trio Card

Easter Bunny Trio Card - 3 bunnies sitting on Easter eggs hanging from a tree
Easter Bunny Trio Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Easter is coming! So, I am sharing my Easter Bunny Trio Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Easter Bunny Trio Bundle. This purchase includes 8 Images:

  • Easter Bunny Trio with Branch PNG
  • Easter Bunny Double PNG (this image includes 2 bunnies hanging on eggs as shown)
  • Easter Bunny Trio PNG (this image does not have the branch)
  • Easter Bunny 1, 2, and 3 PNG (Three individual image of the bunnies (right, middle, left) with longer string for layering images)
  • Sentiment: Some Bunny Loves You – PNG
  • Sentiment: Happy Easter – PNG

The Details of My Easter Bunny Trio Card

I had so much fun colouring with my Copic markers the bunnies’ fur in different colours and their eggs in Easter colours of pink, purple and green. I knew that I wanted the flowers in the tree to look like cherry blossoms in pinks with yellow centres.

For my card, I decided to create an Easter scene that is bursting from the frame. Literally! Lol! So, I die cut some stitched clouds and brushed some Balmy Blue Ink along the top edges of the clouds and where the two clouds over lap. This allowed the frame to pop out from the clouds and gave the clouds dimension.

Once the clouds were done, I picked out some DSP that had sky and clouds. The clouds on the DSP have a UV coating for a fun shine!

Next, was to find the perfect frame for my focal point of the bunnies. I decided to go with a frame smaller than my scene to give my card a fun whimsical feel. I tucked the top of the branch underneath the frame, but had the rest of the branch, flowers and bunnies poking out.

To add sparkle to my card, I used my Wink of Stella on the ribbons and Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on the accents, like the polka dots, flowers and scallops on the eggs. For the bunnies’ noses, I used a Black Gelly Roll Pen to make them stand out.

A finishing touch was to add a scattering of brass butterflies around my card.

My Butterfly Wishes Card 

My Butterfly Wishes Card - Birthday card with lady holding cake and butterflies flying around
My Butterfly Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Butterfly Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Butterfly Wishes image from the Butterfly Wishes Kisses Bundle. She is perfect for those birthday cards we all need! This purchase includes 2 Images:

  • Title1: Butterfly Wishes
  • Title2: Butterfly Kisses

The Details of My Butterfly Wishes Card

I had a lot of fun colouring the Butterfly Wishes image from the bundle with my Copic markers to match my Mintay paper. I thought the Peony Garden paper suited the image since she had peonies in her hair. Finally, I added Wink of Stella to the butterflies to make them shimmer and Glossy Accents to the candle flame.

For my card, I decided to go with a faux-step card so that the beautiful Mintay paper can be visible on the background layer, even behind my focal point. I had a scrap of that paper left over. So, I trimmed it down, turned it over, and added to my front panel where the sentiment was located. Next, I tucked in a Butterfly Border behind this panel since it was perfect for my butterfly motif and added a fun whimsical feel.

For the birthday sentiment, I used my Glimmer Hot Foil System (a new toy!) and die cut it out. Then I fussy cut the tea cup and two of the butterflies from the Mintay paper. I love that these images match the papers! I tucked in the sentiment and one of the butterflies around the tea cup to create my sentiment cluster. The other butterfly was added to the top left of my coloured image so that it hung over the edge between the layers.

The finishing touch was a scattering of rhinestones to add even more sparkle to my card.
