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.

Peace & Joy Christmas Card

December 20, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Peace & Joy Christmas Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Molly Cutie from the Molly Winter Bundle. This Bundle includes 4 digital stamps:

Molly’s Winter Friends
Molly’s Joy
Molly Cutie
Molly Cutie Without Birdie

The Details of My Peace & Joy Christmas Card

I checked and this was my fourth time colouring different variations of this stamp! Lol! It is obviously one of my favourites of Conie Fong! The other three were before I was on Conie’s Design Team, and I will include them at the end of this post.

For my card, I had this gorgeous Merry Little Christmas Paper Collection by Paper Rose. So, I decided to use the piece that had the cardinal on it since I coloured the birdie as a cardinal this time. I also used the paper for the sentiment banner with the wood and Christmas word tickets.

The sentiment was foil embossed in gold with my laminator and gold foil. This is something that I have discovered recently and plan to do more often! So fun! I backed the foiled sentiment with a stitched circle from the red paper in the Collection. Tip: I die cut it out of the centre of the red mat that is behind my floral piece. Since you do not see it, it saved on paper.

The poinsettias were hand punched and assembled with gold glitter dots to mirror the poinsettia in the paper.

I had some punched glittery snowflakes on my desk from another card. So, I added them for interest.

Finally, for sparkle, I added some red rhinestones around her, as well as Star Dust Stickles to Molly’s and the bird’s pompoms. Clear Star gelly roll was added to the flowers on her dress with white gelly roll added to the polka dots on her scarf and gold gelly roll to her buttons. Glossy Accents was added to the berries that the birdie is carrying. You can never have too much sparkle on a Christmas card! Lol!

Warm Winter Wishes Card

December 5, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Warm Winter Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Sally and Little Squirrel.

The Details of My Warm Winter Wishes Card

This stamp was one of the first stamps by Conie Fong Art & Design that I bought! I just loved Sally with her little friend, and I knew that I wanted to colour her with some of my favourite Copic marker combos!

I had this gorgeous Ciao Bella Paper that I thought would be a perfect background for her! So, I decided to make a slimline card that would show as much of the wintery scene as possible including the house.

To tie in the pinks, I went with some Rose Red card stock on which I layered vellum with silver foiled snowflakes to tie in the wintery feeling of my card.

For my sentiment cluster, I layered several flags with the different papers that I used on my card. A wooden snowflake and some linen thread add to the rustic feel of my wintery scene.

Finally, for sparkle, I added some Balmy Blue punched snowflakes to my scene, as well as Star Dust Stickles to Sally’s hat’s pompom and the snow that she is standing on. Clear Wink of Stella was used on the flower on her hat and Clear Star to the polka dots on her scarf.

Hello Fabulous Birthday Card

November 26, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Hello Fabulous Birthday Card using Fedora By Krista Smith Stamps. I was commissioned to create a custom birthday card for a friend’s daughter.

The Details of My Hello Fabulous Birthday Card

My friend mentioned a few things to help guide me in my design such as her daughter’s favourite colour is purple and that she is into fashion. So, for my card, I went through my Krista Smith Stamps and Fedora was the one that was chosen by my friend! I knew Krista would have a stamp that would suit the daughter’s style perfectly!

So, I coloured the stamp with my Copic markers in purples and blacks to suit the daughter’s taste. I added a pop of colour with the green feather on the fedora. Next, I added some Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to the feather and smooshed it with my finger before it dried to give the feather a soft shimmer. Gold Gelly Roll Pen was used on her earring to add some sparkle and White Gelly Roll Pen was dotted on her bottom lip to indicate the shine of lip gloss.

The Design Aspects of My Card

Once she was coloured, I discovered that the Best Dressed DSP was perfect for my colours and theme. I used the shoes DSP on one layer, the perfume DSP on the next layer and the handbags DSP within the frame. The DSP even had purple roses to match my single purple flower embellishment.

Next, I knew that I wanted to add a frame around her, and I thought the Oval Coronet Dies by Spellbinders was very elegant. I thought it would be fun having her popping out of the white frame with the handbags behind her.

For my sentiment cluster, I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss and die cut it out. I added a Blackberry Bliss scallop edge to the bottom of the sentiment. Then, I added a green feather to mirror the feather in her fedora and a purple rose. Finally, I fussy cut a perfume bottle from the DSP and tucked it behind the sentiment.

To add some texture and interest, I added some black netting that I bought at a local fabric store. I thought it really added to the fashion theme of my card!

Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of rhinestones for some sparkle, especially since you need sparkle on a birthday card!

My Pumpkin Patch Card

November 6, 2024 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Pumpkin Patch Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the cute Pumpkin Gnome.

He comes with 6 images including the sentiment Sending Pumpkin Wishes:

Pumpkin Gnome facing left PNG/JPG
Pumpkin Gnome facing right PNG/JPG
Sentiment Sending Pumpkin Wishes PNG/JPG

Details of My Pumpkin Patch Card

For my card, I coloured with my Copic Markers my sweet Gnome in Autumnal colours to match the DSP. This DSP is perfect with those fall colours. I decided to go with a scene with the beautiful trees in all their colourful splendor! I even added some die cut leaves to match the colours in the DSP.

For my gnome, I added a die cut circle as a backdrop for him. Next, I added the stamped sentiment on a flag. I added another flag behind the die cut word “pumpkin” to make the word stand out. I thought it a fun touch to add “pumpkin” since he was picking out a pumpkin and would pick it “over and over again” just like the sentiment said!

The finishing touch was a couple of enamel dots that matched my colour scheme.

The Details of My Candy Carnival Card

Aren’t these just the cutest trick-or-treaters! I had a lot of fun colouring them with my Copic markers in spooky Halloween colours to match my paper!

For my card, I thought it would be fun to use my slimline ticket die since they are going to a Halloween carnival! Even the paper suits the Halloween carnival theme! I especially like the “admit one” paper behind the mummy ready to be torn off as he enters! Lol! The other two are partying with all their friend!

For the black arrow banner, I mounted an “Oct. 31” tag from the Doodlebug paper and added an iridescent ribbon to it. The only other embellishment, I added were a few Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots.

Finally, to add some sparkle, I used Gold Star Gelly Roll Pen on the witch’s shoe buckles and Clear Wink of Stella to the ribbon on her hat and bow.

This purchase includes 5 Images:

The Details of My Trick or Treat Card

I just love Penelope in her little pumpkin costume going trick or treating with her sweet friend! I decided to colour her in traditional Halloween colours with my Copic markers to match the Doodlebug papers.

For my scene, I went with a spooky house and graveyard in front of it. Of course, she must go through the graveyard to visit the house and, you must have an eerie full moon on Halloween night! Lol! To make my moon even more eerie, I brushed Crushed Curry Ink along the edges. One thing that is cool, is that my moon glows in the dark! Finally, I added a cute 3D bat to my scene.

Next, I added the Trick or Treat paper behind my scene instead of a traditional night sky as an homage to her activity. In addition, I added the striped paper in matching colours behind the words Trick or Treat at the bottom of my card.

Finally, to add some sparkle, I used Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on her lollipops and Clear Wink of Stella to her bag. For the polka dots on her bag, I used a White Gelly Roll Pen.

The Details of My Aloe Sweet Friend Card

For the colour challenge card, I used Copic marker combos that would be like the colours listed below. Kendra had succulent and cactus digital papers that you could download with the colours for the challenge, but in the end, I decided to use Flowering Cactus Designer Series Paper instead.

Kendra's Card Challenge - Color Challenge — Kendra’s Card Challenge – Color Challenge

The Potted Succulent Dies had a beautiful detailed outline die that covered the whole card front. So, I decided to use it with the DSP peeking out from under it. Since this piece was so detailed, I didn’t add a lot to my card, other than the focal point and the sentiments.

I used the largest Stylish Shaped circle die to add a circle from the DSP and placed it behind my image to anchor it. The sentiments were also die cut from the Stylish Shaped Dies. I added Calypso Coral frames from the Potted Succulents Dies to the sentiments to help distinguish them from the background.

Don’t you just love the pun of the sentiment, “Aloe Sweet Friend” which comes with the Bundle. For the other sentiment, I typed it on my computer, printed it and die cut it out.

Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of Calypso Coral sequins around my focal point.

My Flutterby Birthday Card

August 18, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Flutterby Birthday Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Flutterby Daisy.

This purchase includes 5 Images:

Image 1 & 2: Flutterby Daisy (Girl facing right/left) JPEG format
Image 3: Flutterby Daisy – without daisy flower
Sentiment 1: Fluttering by with a friendly hi
Sentiment 2: Enjoy the simple things

The Details of My Flutterby Birthday Card

For my card, I decided that I wanted to use Flutterby Daisy facing left with her daisy. I loved colouring her and her daisy with my Copic markers in bright cheery colours to match my Mintay papers. Flutterby comes with one butterfly, but I thought a couple of extra butterflies would add a touch of fun to my card!

Close Up of Fairy — Close Up of Flutterby

I found this beautiful Daisy Circle Frame a while back and thought it would be perfect for the backdrop of Flutterby! So, I die cut it in a colour that matched my colouring of her daisy and the papers.

Since I wanted to create a birthday card, I used the sentiment from the Dandelion Wishes stamp. Perfect for a fairy birthday card! Though I did use “Fluttering by with a friendly hi” for the inside of my card.

Next, I added a butterfly die cut border of the Mintay papers along the bottom of the card with it overlapping the daisy in places hiding the stem end of the coloured daisy.

Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of Berry Burst Shimmer Gems around my card.

Game On Birthday Card

August 9, 2024 4 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Game On Birthday Card using the Plumber Brothers and Company by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. This Set comes with 14 digital stamps, and I used 8 of them on my card.

The Details of My Game On Birthday Card

Everyone loves the classic Mario Brothers video game! For my card, I wanted to create their world using the different elements that they must encounter. So, I coloured my stamps with my Copic markers in bright primary colours.

My Colouring of the different stamps — My Colouring

Next, I decided to use the Enchanted Kingdom Slimline Designer Paper by Whimsy. The primary colours and scene were perfect for my Mario world!

I die cut this slimline paper with the Slimline Windows Dies by Whimsy to create the different levels in which I could insert my elements. I popped up the frame using adhesive strips to limit the sagging especially along the top and bottom edges. Next, I adhered with liquid glue the leftover die cut scene squares to the card base to create dimension. Tip: liquid glue gives you time to position the squares and allow wiggle room to get them just right.

Once the scene was in place, I added my elements to the different squares to create my Mario world.

The sentiment was stamped in black and die cut out with a stitched rectangle. I added a star to one side to help with the balance.

The finishing touch was to add Mario and Luigi to the card. Voilà! Game On! My Mario world was complete!

My Poinsettia Season Card

August 7, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Christmas in July might be over, but I am still adding to my Christmas card supply. Lol! So, I am sharing My Poinsettia Season Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Holly Poinsettia.

The Details of My Poinsettia Season Card

I loved colouring Holly with her poinsettias using my Copic markers! She is such a sweetie!! I used colours to match the gorgeous Mintay paper! To add some sparkle, I used Star Dust Stickles on her ear muffs and pom poms on her mittens.

Of course, I had to use a tag from the matching Paper Elements for my backdrop of Holly. To tie in the greens of my colouring, I gave the tag a mat with one of the papers in the pad.

The Paper Elements also came with some envelopes that you make. I thought the floral envelope with the blue background perfectly matched my colour scheme. So, I trimmed a piece off the envelope and cut it in half. These pieces I matted with white and placed them in opposite corners of my tag so that they are peeking out from my focal point.

Since Holly had poinsettias, I decided to use my Poinsettia and Holly Punch by Nellie to make some paper flowers. The flowers were accented with Gold Glitter Enamel Dots. The gold centres mirrored the gold Gelly Roll Pen that I used on Holly’s poinsettias.

The sentiment was stamped in black and die cut out with matching the die.

Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of red rhinestones around my card.

Gnome for Christmas Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Gnome for Christmas Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the cute Christmas Tree Gnome and Sentiment. This bundle comes with 4 images:

Image 3-4: Sentiment Have A Very Merry Gnome Christmas PNG/JPG format

Details of My Gnome for Christmas Card

I had so much fun colouring this sweet gnome with my Copic markers that I coloured him twice in different shades of green. So, I have created two different cards showing the possibilities and will link my other mini slimline card at the end of this post.

For this card, I decided to create another slimline card for this cutie. I love the scenes in the Home for the Holidays paper by Stamperia and wanted to use as much of the scene as possible, especially the house and deer! So, I created a full slimline card this time.

All that the scene needed was some pine branches to frame my sentiment and a scattering of glimmer snowflakes. I decided to frame the whole scene with the Essential Cutting Slimline Dies by Studio Light with a bottom layer in Shaded Spruce to hide the ends of the pine branches and then a Real Red layer popped up on top.

The finishing touch was a scattering of wooden stars around the sentiment and Star Dust Stickles added to the star and pompoms on his hat.

Details of My Merry Gnome Christmas Card

For my card, I decided to create a mini slimline card for this cutie! I had so much fun colouring this sweet gnome with my Copic markers that I coloured him twice in different shades of green. Stay tune for a card with my second colouring later.

I loved the Winter Gnomes Decorative Papers by The Paper Boutique! It had all these cute gnomes with Christmas presents on it. Perfect for my Christmas theme! So, I used my Bracket & Tags Dies to die cut my papers and layered them on the card base.

Once that was done, I added the die cut flag sentiment with another flag in Cherry Cobbler layered beneath. The wooden tree was from my stash and a perfect accent for the sentiment. The only other die cut was pine needles behind my gnome to make him stand out a bit from the background.

The finishing touches were a scattering of red rhinestones and some ribbon tied through the tag’s hole.

My Happy Bee-Day Card

July 3, 2024 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Happy Bee-Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Lil Bee Amara! Isn’t she a cutie in her bee outfit with her little bee friend!

The Details of My Happy Bee-Day Card

For my card, I decided to use the Let It Bee Paper by Graphic 45. It was perfect for my bee theme with sunflowers and bees on it! Plus, all the words about bees made it a must!

Next, I coloured Amara and her sunflowers with my Copic markers. I had a lot of fun colouring her beautiful skin tone and her hair with all those curls!

I knew that I wanted to use the honey pot die with her. So, I die cut the honeycomb paper for the jar and decided to keep the top as Cherry Cobbler card stock so that her bee friend would show up well. The bee crystal sticker was from my stash and had been waiting for the perfect card. It fit perfectly on the honey pot letting everyone know it had honey in it.

For my card base, I used the Honeycomb Quilt Top Dies by Concord & 9^th to add interest. I also tucked in some Honeycomb Clusters behind the honey pot.

The sentiment was heat embossed in white on Basic Black card stock and die cut out.

Finally, I added a scattering of red rhinestones and a paper sunflower to mirror my colour scheme and theme. I used Star Dust Stickles on the sunflower centres and her Bee Antenna-Headband and Clear Wink of Stella on her wings.

Birthday Blossom Wishes Card

June 26, 2024 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Birthday Blossom Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Little Blossom. She is perfect for a birthday card for a special someone!

The purchase includes 3 Images:

The Details of My Birthday Blossom Wishes Card

I was given as a gift this beautiful handmade paper in rich reds and golds and knew I wanted to use it as a backdrop for Little Blossom on my card. So, I coloured her with my Copic markers in red and blacks with golds for the trim. I added green to the leaves on her dress and some of the balloons to break up the colours.

For my card, I had a gorgeous bloom border die from Paper Rose that looked like the flowers on her dress. So, I die cut Gold Foil Paper to match the golden trim on her dress. To add interest behind the bloom die, I embossed a piece of Basic White card stock with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder. This gave it a slight texture without interfering with the beautiful golden flowers.

Next, I added a piece of floral black and white DSP to balance out the other side. Again, I thought the flowers looked similar to the flowers on her dress.

Now for my focal point! I used the beautiful handmade paper behind her and added some greenery to tie in the green balloons. The finishing touch was to add a few white blooms to brighten up my card. For the pearls in the centres, I coloured them with my Y38 Copic marker.

To add a sparkle, I added a scattering of Red Rhinestone and Clear Wink of Stella on her hair ties, the flowers and gold trim of her dress.
