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 Mystery Birthday Card

My Mystery Birthday Card - a card with a manson and butler on it
My Mystery Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share My Mystery Birthday Card using the Murder Mystery Set by Kindred Stamps! Last week was my Hubby’s birthday! So, I decided to create for him an explosion light up card with characters from one of our favourite movies! Clue! I just knew he would get a kick out of my card!

The Details of My Mystery Birthday Card

For my card, I wanted to include all the characters on his card. So, I decided to put Wadsworth with a wrench hidden behind him on the front. The wrench was an extra one that I picked up at a game store selling one off pieces for board games. So fun! The other characters would go inside my card.

Clue Board on Inside of Card

First, I coloured all the characters with my Copic markers using the movie for reference. I added glossy accents to the knife, wrench, candlestick and revolver. I also used my Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on the earrings of Mrs. Peacock and Miss Scarlett, and the belt buckle for Mrs. White.

Front of Card

Time to put everything together! The 13th Hour Paper Pad by Kaiser Craft was perfect to create my spooky scene on the front with its embossed tree branches! I added behind my Mansion a glow in the dark moon with Crushed Curry ink brushed along the edges.

Next, I added So Saffron Vellum behind the windows of my Masion thus allowing the light to shine through when the EZ Light was activated. I die cut a hill and embossed it with the “push here” instructions. The hill allowed me to hide my light mechanism behind it. To decorate my card front, I added a couple of black glimmer bats and the wrench. The finishing touch was to add my coloured Wadsworth.

Inside of Card

Since I wanted to include a Clue boardgame on the inside, I searched online for a free printable one and found it on Pinterest. Have to love the internet for things like that! I pulled it into Microsoft Word, scaled it to 8” x 8” and printed it out on copy paper.

Inside of Card

Once that was done, I folded the “boardgame” to create my explosion mechanism by following the instruction by Karen Titus. This was adhered directly to the card base.

Side of Card
Side of Card

Since the card was so bulky already, I adhered my characters directly to the “boardgame” by strategically placing them away from the folds. For a fun accent, I added a magnifying glass trinket to the centre of my board.

I used two sentiments from the stamp sets to complete my card on the inside.

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.

My Happy Together Card 

My Happy Together Card - an anniversary card with animal characters in scenes
My Happy Together Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share My Happy Together Card using the Sherwood Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps! This week was my wedding anniversary! So, I decided to create an anniversary card with these cuties for my Hubby! Robin Hood is his favourite Disney movie and can quote most of it! Lol! I just knew he would get a kick out of my card!

The Details of My Happy Together Card

For my card, I wanted to include all the characters on his card. So, I went with a fun fold that is like a z-fold where each panels shows a different scene ending with a card as the last panel. I have included a video at the end to show it in action.

But first, I coloured all the characters with my Copic markers and cut them out with my Brother Scan n’ Cut. Once that was done, I built my booklet with the front page being full size so that I could use the lovely leafy arch die cut and the gorgeous Meandering Meadows DSP. Perfect for my Sherwood Forest scene!

Next, was to decorate the inside panels. Again, I used the Meandering Meadows DSP to create my scenes. I used a forest one for the bear and hen and one with a path for my castle scene. The castle was built using the Build A Castle Die Set by Whimsy Stamps. This allowed me to create a size that would fit my card. I brushed Gray Granite Ink to the edges of my die cuts to give them dimension.

To add to the forest theme, I added some wood DSP the bottom of my inside panels. I even decorated the back of my panels with more DSP to hide my seams and to finish them off.

Back Panels of Card

Since the card was so bulky already, the only embellishments I added were a scattering of Adhesive-Backed Birds throughout the booklet.

I used four sentiments from retired Stampin’ Up! stamp sets to complete my card.

A Purr-Fect Day Card

A Purr-Fect Day Card

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)
  • 3 and 4: Sophie and Kitty V2 (without flowers on dress) (JPG and PNG format)
  • 5 and 6: Sophie and Puppy 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 Sweet Friend Card - a card with a rabbit and butterfly sitting on a mushroom
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.

True North Canada Card

True North Canada Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy Canada Day! It’s Laurie here to share my True North Canada Card using the True North Strong & Free Stamp Set by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps. 

The Details of My True North Canada Card

For my card, I had a lot of fun colouring with my Copic Markers the beaver, the leaves and these cuties. In fact, I coloured the girl and boy to match my hubby and me! Once that was done, I cut them out with my Brother Scan n’ Cut.

The O Canada 2 papers by PhotoPlay were perfect for my Canadian themed card! They even had matching ephemera that I used for the wording. This made making my card a breeze!

I added Wink of Stella to all the maple leaves including their shirts to make them shimmer. I also added Black Gelly Roll Pen to the beaver’s nose.

For embellishments, I added some red rhinestones to tie in my colour scheme.

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 - a birthday card with a cat floating with balloons
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.

My Mermazing Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Mermazing Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Rosealea Mermaid And Sentiment Bundle. This listing includes a total of 12 images in JPG and PNG format:

  • Title 1 & 2: Rosealea Mermaid Facing Left JPG/PNG
  • Title 3 & 4: Rosealea mermaid Facing Right JPG PNG

  • Title 9 & 10: You are mermazing sentiment JPG/PNG
  • Title 11 & 12: Have a mermazing day sentiment JPG/PNG

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.

Ride Your Dreams Card

Ride Your Dreams Card - a card with a city scene and a man riding a unicorn
Ride Your Dreams Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Ride Your Dreams Card using the Ride Your Dreams Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps. Today is my big brother’s birthday and I knew he would get a kick out of a Deadpool card! For one of my brother’s birthdays, his grandchildren rented a unicorn blow up for the pool and so many hilarious stories came out of it! Lol! So, this stamp was perfect for his card. I also made another card for a friend using the other characters in this stamp set which I will link at the end of my post. 

The Details of My Ride Your Dreams Card

For my card, I had a lot of fun colouring this character with my Copic markers! I even added some sparkle to the unicorn’s main and tail with my White Gelly Roll Pen and Clear Wink of Stella. Once that was done, I cut him out with my Brother Scan n’ Cut.

Next, I decided to create a city scene using the Cityscape Die from Kindred Stamps. The city buildings from the Save the Day Paper Pad by Stamp Anniething were perfect for my background behind the die cut cityscape. I die cut this paper with the Card Basics Dies and matted it on Real Red cardstock. The stars were also cut from the Save the Day and die cut with the Card Basics Dies. I love how they are bursting out from my scene!

The card front sentiment was stamped in black and die cut with the ticket die from the Card Basics Dies. For the inside, I decided to stamp another sentiment from the set and added the cute Pup Sidekick underneath it.

For embellishments, I added some black matt dots to the front to tie in my colour scheme.
