My Storytime! Card using Storytime by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studio
My Storytime Design Team Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Storytime Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using their Storytime Digital Stamp. This is my first card as a new Design Team Member for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios! I’m so excited to join such a talented team!

I love this sweet image with all the cute forest friends gathered around to listen to a story! The panels to the left are all the wonderful stories they are reading. Once Upon a Time…there was a ranger who confronted a dragon guarding his hoard. Once Upon a Time…there was a knight on a chivalrous quest. Or, maybe they are reading Jack and the Beanstalk as the vine travels to the clouds! This image just sparks my imagination! The sentiment is from a Kraftin Kimmie Stamp that I thought was perfect for these little forest friends! “We’ll be friends forever…the end!”

It’s Laurie here with my Life is a Mermaid! Design Team Card using the Mermaid Set from Paper Nest Dolls! I have been wanting to create a Bendi Card forever and thought it would create a perfect scene for these cuties! I had so much fun creating this card! So, without further ado, here is my very first ever Bendi Card!

I love all the layers that this type of card creates! Here is a top view showing those layers.

What is great about a Bendi card is that it folds flat so that you can mail it. When it is flat, and you can really see all the layers and the cute mermaids poking out between them.

Life is a MerMay Party!

My Slim Line Card Using Paper Nest Dolls Mermaid Set

Life is a MerMay Party! I was asked by Paper Nest Dolls to become a permanent Design Team Member! Yahoo! I am so honoured to have been asked to join such a talented Design Team!

So, here is my first card as a Design Team Member. For this card, I wanted to create a slim line card since they are all the rage right now. This card measures 4″ x 9 1/4″ which will fit into a regular Number 10 envelope (4 1/8″ x 9 1/2″). I had so much fun colouring this cute underwater scene using most of the May Release digital images from the Mermaid Set.
