Birthday Card with a Girl with Orchids in her hair — My Orchid Beauty Birthday Wishes

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Orchid Beauty Birthday Wishes as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Alanna. Don’t you just love that serene look she has!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to use some pretty papers with pastel colours from The Paper Boutique. So, I coloured with my Copic markers Alanna to match them. That blue is so pretty that I had to give her eyeshadow to match her dress!

I went with several die cuts like the leafy vine, the delicate pink frame, and the butterflies to decorate my card. The sentiment is from a matching paper pad and went perfectly with my colours. A scattering of gems and a gem in the centre of each butterfly added some sparkle. A finishing touch was Wink of Stella on the orchids. Such a beautiful image!

My Grease Lightning Card

Card with 50s greaser and girl with poodle skirt — My Grease Lightning Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Grease Lightning Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Greaser Owen and Decade Collection Poodle Skirt Emma. There are ten dolls in the Decade Collection that come in both rubber and digital stamps. You can find all the digital versions here.

Decade Doll Collection by Paper Nest Dolls

The Details of My Card

When I saw these two stamps, I knew that I had to create a card with them both on it! I had a lot of fun colouring them with my Copic markers! I even added Glossy Accents to the milkshake glass and Emma’s glasses.

For my card, I decided to create a 50s diner vibe using the most perfect paper with milk shakes, records, and black/white tiles that I found on Amazon.

I heat embossed with black embossing powder the record from the For the Record Stamp Set twice. Once on gray card stock and once on red card stock. Then, using several circle dies, I die cut the pieces out. I couldn’t resist using the red cardstock for the heart part in the centre of the record! And the grooves really show up well with the black embossing on the gray card stock. Don’t you love the sentiments, especially the puny one, that come with the stamp set!

Isn’t the car die so fun! I thought it would suit my 50’s vibe as an homage to Grease Lightning from the movie Grease. The door even opens. So, I had Owen’s leg halfway in almost like he was getting out of the card.

A red rhinestone and several black dot embellishments tie into my colour scheme.

My Flowers for You Card

A card with a dragon holding a bouquet of flowers — My Flowers for You Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Flowers For You Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Dragon Bouquet and Sentiment Bundle. This stamp is so versatile and can be used for so many occasions! It includes 6 images and comes in PNG or JPG:

Dragon Bouquet
Thinking Of You Sentiment
Have A Beautiful Day
Hello Friend
Just Because
Flowers For You Sentiment

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided on the MME paper since I love the rustic wood texture and the collage on the paper! There is a sentiment on it under his feet, “start every day with a smile”. I thought this was such a sweet sentiment and would bring a smile to the recipient

From there, I picked out my Copic marker colours from the paper to colour my cute dragon and the bouquet. I also coloured some extra flowers that you get in the bundle in the colours I used for my bouquet. The sentiment from the bundle was die cut into a banner and layered with the coloured flowers and another banner below.

For embellishments, I used brass butterflies, clear epoxy dew drops and Clear Wink of Stella on the flowers.

My Welcome Spring! Card

Card with girl holding a daffodil — My Welcome Spring! Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I was so excited to present My Welcome Spring! Card at the Paper Nest Dolls Spring Coloring Retreat (Online) recently using Lulu with Daffodil!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought a fun fold card would be something different than a regular card. So, I created a side easel card base! I love how it folds up to display part of the card front!

We had a lot of fun colouring Lulu with our Copic markers at the Retreat. The attendees learned how to add texture to the daffodil to make it pop!

The beautiful papers from the Paper Boutique were perfect for the theme since they had daffodil and tulips on them!

I couldn’t resist using the Daffodil Dies from Stampin’ Up! in the background to set off Lulu!

If you haven’t been to a Paper Nest Dolls Retreat, you are missing out! You learn so much from other designers (even I learn things!) and there is always fun and games going on, not to mention the swag bags!

A Groovy Road Trip Card

May 5, 2022 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing A Groovy Road Trip Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Flower Power Ellie. There are ten dolls in the Decade Collection that come in both rubber and digital stamps. You can find all the digital versions here.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I coloured Ellie with my Copic markers to match my Seventies paper and her retro bus! This paper was perfect for my card with the musical revolution icons since Ellie has her dancing boots on and is off to Woodstock!

Of course, if Ellie is having a road trip, she needs a retro bus. This Retro Bus Kit comes with dies to build a mini booklet in the shape of a retro bus, but I decided to use it for my card. So, I just trimmed the three ring holes off the back piece. I had a ton of fun decorating my bus with the matching paper, flowers, peace symbol, windshield wipers, Road Trip die and so on. I even used a piece of a window sheet for the windows. For the metal parts, I brushed on some iron wax to give them a metal look.

The finishing touches were some wooden musical notes to match my theme and a couple of rhinestone coloured to match my card.

My Give Peace a Chance Card

April 28, 2022 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Give Peace a Chance Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the new release Decade Collection Hippie Ellie. With everything going on in the world right now, I thought this was a very appropriate card for the times!

The Details of My Card

I had a lot of fun colouring Hippie Ellie with my Copic markers! Don’t you just love her jeans with the patches and her suede fringe vest! She is such a groovy hipster!

For my card, I found this perfect paper that had a Seventies theme! I loved it so much that I wanted to use a whole sheet for my card front! So, I used a fun fold called a Z-Fold Card for the card base, but I reversed it into a backwards Z. I wanted the love bug to show on the front with Ellie when the card is closed. This type of card folds up to a regular A2 card but allows for lots of room to decorate! It also is neat how you open it, and the paper continually keeps going!

Since the paper was so detailed, I only used a few dies to dress it up such as the Love, Peace, daisies, and peace sign. They were from the Retro Bus by Elizabeth Craft Designs. I bought this set planning to use them for the Decade Dolls and they were perfect for Hippie Ellie! A couple of sequins and glimmery dots for the flower centres was all the embellishments this card needed.

Card Open — Card Showing Fold Standing Up

Measurements

Card Base: 5 ½” x 8 ½”, score at 4 ¼” and 2 1/8”. Cut the Seventies 6” x 6” paper to 5 ¼” tall, then cut at 2” and 4:”. You could leave the last panel for your sentiment, but I decided to add a fourth panel using a 2” piece of floral rice paper as a background for my coloured stamp.

My Happy Mother’s Day Card

Card with a bear holding a rose — My Happy Mother’s Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Happy Mother’s Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Bella With Rose.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought Bella With Rose would make a perfect Mother’s Day Card! She is such a cutie and Mother’s Day is only a few weeks away!

I decided to go with soft pastel colours to match the beautiful Spring papers from The Paper Boutique. The Stitched with Love Paper Pad matched this colour scheme well and it had purple roses that I used for inspiration to colour my rose.

To me nothing says Mother’s Day like a beautiful doily and this one had roses on it. Perfect for my rose theme and to center my focal point!

I have been wanting to use the beautiful rose die from Paper Roses for a while and thought this was ideal for my card!

A scattering of pink pearls and butterflies to match my paper completed my card.

My Easter Basket

April 12, 2022 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Easter Basket using Bunny Emma by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration. Since Easter is this weekend, I thought an Easter basket would be fun with this cutie!

The Details of My Basket

For my basket, I picked out this pretty paper in soft Easter colours of pinks and purples. From that I pulled my Copic colour palette to colour Bunny Emma. The basket is really a purse die, but by using one handle instead of two, it transforms into a basket! I stamped the sentiment onto the cute, stitched pocket and added a die cut button from the paper.

Of course, I just had to decorate the back of the basket with another pocket and button. The pink is from the other side of the pretty floral paper. So, it all goes together beautifully. The finishing touch are a few matching ribbons to balance out Bunny Emma.

All that is left is to fill your basket with Easter grass and chocolates!

The Details of My Card

The paper was the perfect choice since it had Easter eggs on one and Easter bunnies on the other. Love Doodlebug for their bright colours! The ribbon also has an Easter theme with cute bunnies on it.

I have had these two Easter eggs die cuts forever and thought this would be a perfect time to use them by layering them on the card.

The sentiment is from Easter Bunny Gnome and Sentiment Bundle. I just snipped them apart to fit my space. A couple of die cut flowers highlight the sentiment.

I coloured my pearls and rhinestone in matching colours. A row of rhinestones on the top die cut egg add some dimension and sparkle. Clear Wink of Stella on his egg and flower add a little more sparkle.

My Tears for Ukraine Card

March 7, 2022 4 Comments

Squirrel holding a sunflowers with tear in his eye — My Tears for Ukraine Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Tears for Ukraine Card using the Clarence with Sunflower for Ukraine illustrated by Dustin Pike for The Rabbit Hole Designs. The people at TRHD were kind enough to make this stamp free so that we can all show our support for the Ukraine.

This stamp really sums up how I feel about all the unrest going on with Russia and the Ukraine! My heart bleeds for the Ukraine! So, I wanted to show my support in the best what I can…through my crafting!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to make the stamp the focal point with minimal embellishments and paper since this card is all about the message!

I coloured Clarence and his sunflower with my Copic markers and added a few accents with my White Gelly Roll Pen on the seeds of the sunflower.

I decided to use Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point as my card stock choices to reflect the colours of the Ukrainian flag. A couple of layered paper flags under the “heartfelt” sentiment help to set it off. I wanted it to be highlighted since this is what my card is all about. To match my colour choices, I coloured some clear rhinestones with my Copic markers. Finally, I added some clear epoxy stickers on certain parts of the flower to represent the tears of the people.

Can you see a theme this week in my Valentine cards for my Hubby? Lol! He loves history especially Vikings! So, I used Viking Andrew with mustache ties from the Viking Bundle. This bundle has three characters and two animals – Viking Andrew (with and without the mustache ties), Viking Owen, Viking Dragon, and Viking Boar. I have created several Viking cards over the years and will include links to them at the end of this post as well.

The Details of my Card

I had so much fun colouring with my Copic markers this brawny guy in appropriate Viking colours! His colouring even matches another card called My Let’s Go A-Viking Card that I made for Paper Nest Dolls for their New Year’s Day Event. Wouldn’t these two make a perfect pair!

A card with a Viking on it. — My Let’s Go a Viking Card

For my card, I found some neat digital paper with Viking watercolour images that suited my theme. The Viking ships in the bottom panel were from an invitation in the digital package, and I just cropped it to include only the ships. I then had a choice of which ship to highlight and went with the red/white sail one to match my reds.

Since this is for my Hubby, I kept the embellishments minimal with several die-cut hearts for my Valentine theme and a scattering of red rhinestones. I love how the Viking chipboard accents highlight the fun sentiment that I punch out with heart punches.

My Magical Birthday Card

A Birthday Card with a Gnome holding a balloon — My Magical Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Magical Birthday Card as my Design Team Inspiration for Conie Fong Art & Design using the Gnome With Balloon and Sentiment Bundle. He comes with 9 stamps including a choice of heart balloon or round balloon, with or without grass and 5 sentiments that consist of Hello Love, Love Is In The Air (2 different styles), Happy Valentine’s Day and Heart Full Of Love in JPG. You can also get him in PNG.

Details of My Card

This bundle is great for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries and so much more, but I decided that I wanted to create a birthday card. So, I used the sentiment from Dandelion Wishes to create my birthday card.

Since this cutie is floating in the air, I thought I would create some clouds with a stencil, ink and dies. Perfect way to ground him from the very colorful Doodlebug paper! I thought it would be fun to have the sentiment on the cloud with the sun peeking above. I added Glossy Accents to the balloon to make it shine. A scattering of matching dots and rhinestones tie in the colour scheme.

My “Party On!” Card

A Birthday Shaker Card — My Party On Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My “Party On!” Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card using Party Princess Ellie by Paper Nest Dolls.

This past weekend Paper Nest Dolls turned 9 and reached over 6,000 members on their Facebook Group! Congratulations Paper Nest Dolls! Party Princess Ellie was a digital stamp that was given away for free to all attendees, but you can still get her until this Friday, Jan 21, 2022! Here is the link to the post on the PND Inspiration Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=4758734684247076&set=gm.3166875813548826.

Details of My Card

I am planning to give this card to my niece whose birthday is coming up. So, I coloured Ellie with my Copic markers to match her colouring and the Doodlebug paper. Don’t you just love the kitties with the balloons on the side panels!

For my card, I decided that I wanted to create a fun fold called a free-standing triple panel shaker card! Say that three time fast! Lol! I also wanted to use some balloon dies that I thought would be perfect for a birthday card and go along with Ellie’s heart balloon. The Balloon dies are to make a pop-up window, but I thought a shaker card would be a fun interactive element instead!

Instructions to Create a Free-Standing Triple Panel Card

Cardstock size: 8 ¼” x 5 ½”
With the 8 ¼” side along top, score: 1 ¼”, 2 ¼”, 6” and 7”
Fold the sides in a Z pattern

My Groovy Slimline Birthday Card

January 11, 2022 6 Comments

A Birthday card with 2 girls, 2 boys a dog and a van on it — My Groovy Slimline Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Groovy Slimline Birthday Card using Doll Detectives by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. This bundle comes with 6 digital stamps including 2 boys, 2 girls, a dog, and a van.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided that I would create a CAS (clean and simple) slimline card to fit all my cute characters. So, I layered my PNG stamps in Word to create my scene and then coloured them with my Copic markers.

I thought it would be fun to add some flowers to the sky to add interest. So, I took my digital van and blew up only the flowers, coloured them and fussy cut them out. You have to love being able to do that with digital stamps! Once they were cut out, I outlined them in a black multiliner to cover up any areas where my fussy cutting wasn’t perfect. It also allowed them to pop from the page.

For my sentiment, I decided to cut it up to fit on the side of the van like a banner of sorts with another flower and a sequin. The only die I used was the stitched one to cut out my scene. My finishing touch was a couple of other sequins.
