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:

  • 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.

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 - 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.

  • 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.

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.

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 Birthday Treat Card

My Birthday Treat Card - Birthday card with a girl and dog on it
My Birthday Treat Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Birthday Treat Card using the sweet Daisy and Me by Mo’s Digital Pencil. I have a birthday twin whose birthday is the same day as mine! She loves her dogs and when I saw this new digital stamp, I knew it was perfect for her birthday card!

The Details of My Birthday Treat Card

For my card, I decided to create a Z-fold card so that I could decorate all the panels with the gorgeous Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! The ready-to-use die cuts that are included in the DSP were perfect for my birthday theme!

But first, I coloured with my Copic markers the dog and girl to look like my friend and her dog, Rocky! He has very distinctive marking including eyebrows! Lol. I added Glossy Accents to her phone and Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to the heart tag on Rocky’s collar.

All Panels of the Card Showing

To add to the birthday celebrations, I used the Birthday Celebration Dies by Stampin’ Up!, as well as, a bow Corner Die from Memory Box on the front panel of the card. The cupcake was from the DSP ready-to-use die cuts and matched my colour scheme perfectly!

The sentiment was from the retired Pampered Pets Stamp Set and stamped in Blueberry Bushel before die cutting it with one of the Unbounded Love Dies.

For the inside, I decorated the panels with the DSP and die-cuts. Don’t you love that cake and banner! So festive! The inside sentiment was from the Throughout the Year Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! and stamped in Blueberry Bushel as well. A floral die cut was the finishing touch to the sentiment panel.

For embellishments, I added some Party Dots on the front to matched my colour scheme.

My Sweet Valentine Card

My Sweet Valentine Card - a Valentine card with a lady on it
My Sweet Valentine Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Sweet Valentine Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Isabella Blossoms. This purchase includes 2 Images with girl facing right and left.

The Details of My Sweet Valentine Card

Valentine’ Day is coming up! So, I thought I would create a Valentine card with this beautiful lady. I coloured her in pinks and reds to match the Art Options Rouge Paper by 49 and Market. Love this paper and the matching Chipboard Elements! The paper has a lot of texture and design to it already. Therefore, my card didn’t need much to finished it off! Card making made easy!

Since my card was for Valentine’s Day, I pulled out a heart lace doily as a backdrop to my focal point. Then, I layered several chipboard elements to create my sentiment beside Isabella. I also added the “XOXO” chipboard flag at the top of my card.

Next, I added Clear Star Gelly roll pen to the centre of the flowers for sparkle. To soften the look, I lightly touched the centres with my finger to remove some of the gel. I also added Glossy Accents to the green pearls in her hair. 

The finishing touch was a scattering of sequins and rhinestones that matched my colour scheme.

The Details of My On Point Birthday Card

I just loved these cute Kawaiis with the eyes that I decided to colour the Cactus Succulent Arrangement Kawaii twice in different colours. One was for a friend’s birthday who loves succulents and the other was for a colour challenge at Kendra’s Card Challenges.

My Colouring of the Cactus Succulent Arrangement Kawaii

For my friend’s birthday card, I decided to use bright cheery colours for my colouring. I had a lot of fun colouring the succulent in two different tones of colours! I even gave the pot a variegated look! Lots of techniques from which to play!

I used the retired Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up since it was perfect for the stamp. To create my focal point, I added some die cut succulents and aloe around my coloured stamp. These dies cuts were brushed with matching inks for a tone-on-tone look, but still added dimension. In addition to this, I used a roller-ball stylus in the centre of the succulents to make them pop up.

Don’t you just love the sentiment! What a hoot! And I knew my friend would get a kick out of it!

Finally, the finishing touches were rhinestones in the centre of the succulents and a strip of sheer ribbon.
