My Lazy Days of Summer Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Lazy Days of Summer Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stamp Surfer Emma. When you buy her, you get 2 digital stamps for the price of 1! Surfer Emma with and without sunglasses.

I can’t believe that summer is almost over! Emma and I are going to miss those lazy days of summer sunshine!

For my card, I had fun colouring Emma with my Copic markers. I created a summer vignette for my cutie with the surfer van and a palm tree sticker poking out from the circle. The surfer van was a svg file that I downloaded and cut out on my Silhouette Cameo machine. The svg file comes as a box card, but I only wanted the van. Easy enough to separate the file into the pieces that I needed. It was so fun creating the van to match my coloured image with the hot pink. Who wouldn’t love to drive a hot pink surfer van!

Since it’s a beach card, of course, I needed water, sand, and sun! So, my paper was perfect for two of those elements! The sun and sunshine die cuts completed the other element. I love the sentiment “The lazy days of summer” which sum up my card perfectly and matches the purple colour of her bathing suit!

My Mandalorian Card

2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I was honoured to have been asked to present this card and my colouring for it at the Rebels and Wizards Online Event for Paper Nest Dolls that was this past weekend. My Mandalorian Card is using Rebel Hero and the new release Rebel Baby by Paper Nest Dolls and the Magic Iris Dies by Lawn Fawn. I have included a PDF with step by step instructions on how to build the Magic Iris at the end of this post.

I just love Baby Yoda in the Mandalorian TV series. He is soooo cute! I even have a Baby Yoda stuffy that gets into all kinds of mischief. Lol! So, when I saw the new Rebel Baby digital stamp, I just had to make a card with him! My card was inspired by the last episode of season two where Luke comes to rescue Baby Yoda and his friends. I coloured Luke in dark clothes with a green light saver (or life saver as my Baby Yoda calls it! Lol!) as he appeared in this episode. The Rebel Baby is hidden behind the “door” and is revealed by the Magic Iris mechanism when the Jedi Hero opens it.

Don’t you just love the digital paper that I used with the Mandalorian helmets and the original Star Wars logo! They were perfect for my card and were free from HaleGrafix. I sponged some Black Soot to the edges of it to give my card a gritty feel. I couple of star embellishments was all this card needed to finish it off.

Molly’s Christmas in July Card

My Design Team Card
Molly’s Christmas in July Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing Molly’s Christmas in July Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. My card is using Molly’s Christmas Digital Stamp which comes with 3 stamps including Molly without dog, Molly with short ear dog and Molly with long ear dog. I used the short eared dog for my card.

Detail of My Card

For my card, I coloured Molly with her wagon of Christmas goodies and her sweet puppy with my Copic markers. Since the stamp seemed to have a country vibe, I decided to create a homey feel to my card. I brushed Vintage Photo Distress Ink on the edges and corners of my coloured image. The papers from Simple Stories really added to the country feel with the quilt design and shabby look.

I gave some dimension to the poinsettia die by cutting out the poinsettia 3 times. Once for the green base with the holly and twice in the red velvet. I snipped the unwanted pieces of red velvet away from my poinsettia. Then, I glued together the red velvet flowers and added some Metallic Pearls before I popped it up to overlap my focal point. I positioned the red poinsettia so that the green poinsettia below peeked out looking like the green leaves before they turn red. Since I die cut the poinsettia in the red velvet, I had the red berries left over to place in amongst the green holly leaves to add a bit of colour.

I knew that I wanted to use the wooden tree embellishment that I had in my stash but decided that it needed more to it. So, I created a tag with the Simple Stories paper that tied in my colours perfectly. However, the tag was too long. So, I die cut it once and then moving the die up and cut it again to create a smaller die. The red bow was fashioned from some fiber blends that I had in my stash. Star Dust Stickles, Gold and Clear Gelly Roll Pens add some sparkle with the red rhinestones.

Penelope Poppy Birthday Card

My Penelope Poppy Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my second Design Team Inspiration Card for June using the cute Penelope Poppy by Conie Fong Art & Design.

My mom’s birthday is coming up and I thought that Penelope would make a pretty birthday card! I had fun colouring her with my Copic markers in bright reds to match her poppies. I pulled out all my poppy crafting supplies to make my card. Stampin’ Up! has several poppy dies and I couldn’t resist creating a poppy to set off the sentiment. Even the paper behind the die cut that she is layered on has poppies. I decided to create a Soft Suede frame to focus on her and the sentiment. A scattering of red rhinestones adds to the red poppy theme!

Fun in the Sun Card

Leave a comment

Happy Summer Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Fun in the Sun Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stamp Surfer Emma.

First day of Summer was yesterday which inspired my card! This card came about because I just bought the Slimline Waves Die by Whimsy Stamps and couldn’t wait to play with it. I debated about a shaker card but decided that a scene using the waves as separators between the sand, water and sky would be fun.

I had this cool birthday paper in my stash that looks like waterdrops. Perfect for the fun colours of my image which I coloured with my Copic markers! I added a couple of “water drops” with my acrylic dew drops on some of the Bermuda Bay swirls around my stamp. For my sand and sky, I used a couple of embossing folders to add texture. Then I lightly brushed ink over the raised parts and edges to give those areas more dimension. Another fun accent was that the cloud and “sunshine” word were die cut from white felt to make them seem fluffy. Some shells from the dollar store add to my beachy theme.

My Angel Messenger Card

My Angel Messenger Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my first Design Team Inspiration Card for June using the sweet digital stamp Angel Messenger by Conie Fong Art & Design. This is such a pretty image and can be used for so many occasions like Birthday, Sympathy, Get Well, Thinking of You and so on.

For my card, I had some leftover paper from the Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps 2021 Spring Mini Retreat Weekend that I really loved with soft pinks, greens and purples. So, I used that to pull out my colours for my Copic markers. Once I coloured her wings, I used Star Dust Stickles to make them sparkle. Of course, all Angels have radiant wings! I love this paper so much that I used it for all my dies cut pieces including the bird and branches. The paper pad even has beautiful tags. I couldn’t resist fussy cutting one out and adding it with a pretty bow. A perfect setting for my die cut bird! A scattering of rhinestones and sequins were the only embellishments that my card needed.

Twirly-Whirly Birthday Card

Twirly-Whirly Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Twirly-Whirly Birthday Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stamp Emma with Pinwheel.

I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers to match my pinwheel paper. This paper was perfect for my card! I love the pinwheel Sizzlits that I had in my stash. If you have a pinwheel, you need to have a slider to make it move! And, since you need room to twirl your pinwheel, I made a mini slimline card! The sentiment was too long for my card. So, I snipped it on wonky angles and adhered them haphazardly to mirror my fun card.

Did you know that you can currently (until June 6/21) get this digital stamp for free over at the Kit and Clowder Facebook Group:

Just Saying Hello Card

My Design Team Card
My Just Saying Hello Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Just Saying Hello Card as my second May Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design.

For my card, I used the sweet Sophie and Kitty/Puppy Bundle and coloured her with my Copic markers. I couldn’t resist colouring all her luscious curls red! Did you see her adorable puppy too! The sentiment is from the Maisy and Cory Mice Bundle. I thought having it layered into the heart made it pop out as if Sophie is saying “Just saying hello!” to the recipient.

I had a paper pad of banners that I thought would provide a perfect backdrop for her! It made a large 5” x 7” card but set her of really nicely. Since I wasn’t planning to use it as a banner, I tied some Gorgeous Grape sheer ribbon between the holes for the banner part. For my embellishments, I used some sequins, bakers twine and the cutest dog bone trinket! I also added rhinestones which I coloured with my Copic marker to match my card. Clear Wink of Stella was used on the flowers of her dress, hair bow and shoe bows to add a bit of subtle shimmer.

My Design Team Card I Love Paris
I Love Paris Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my last Design Team card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. I have decided to step down from the Design Team to spend more time with my family. For my I Love Paris Card, I decide to use my favourite RAM stamp called ‘Paris’ Digital Stamp. Nothing is more beautiful than Paris any time of the year, even when it’s raining! We love to visit Paris as much as possible and have been there 4 times so far! In fact, my character as a Design Team Member had a little Eiffel Tower on her sweater. Isn’t she a cutie!

For my card, I knew that I wanted to use the Letters From Paris Paper Pack from Wild Rose Studio. So, I coloured with my Copic markers to match the colours of my paper. The Amour word was perfect since Paris is known as the City of Love! Don’t you just love the Eiffel Tower charm with the linen thread tied in a bow to the flag! I used clear epoxy raindrops interspersed between the raindrop that sparkle from my Gelly Roll Pen because even the rain in Paris is magical!

My Welcome to the World Design Team Card
My Welcome to the World Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Welcome to the World Card using the new Hanging Stars Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios that will be released on May 13th. There are 4 super cute stamps being released that day including Dinosaur Friends, Spaceship and Treasure Island!

Rachelle Anne Miller currently has a contest on her Instagram for you and a friend to win all the new digital releases on Release Day! Enter it here:

For my card, I decided that I wanted to use the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper that I had in my stash. Since I knew that Stampin’ Up! has alcohol markers to match the soft colours in the DSP, I used my Stampin’ Up! Blends in those colours. I love how it turned out! Perfect for a new born baby boy that was born recently by a carding friend!

I used a lot of sparkle with the Wink of Stella on the stars and Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen on their tummies. I also used my White Gelly Roll Pen to add some “sparkle” here and there. The photo doesn’t do all the sparkle justice. So, I created a little video showing it.

Birthday Card
My Happy Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Happy Birthday Card using the stamp called ‘Birthday Mouse’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. Everyone needs birthday card and this one is perfect for a little boy!

I decided to try my hand at making a Clean and Simple Card and let the image take centre stage for my card. I used my Copic markers to colour the stamp in oranges, blues, greens and yellows that I pulled from the Doodlebug Paper Pad. A great colour scheme for a little boy! I have been wanting to use the Stitched Whimsy Dies for a while and thought they would add a touch of whimsy to my card. The sentiment comes with the stamp, but I decided that I wanted to pop it up and added a bit of colour behind it with a piece of die cut paper from the paper pad. A scattering of sequins, Clear Wink of Stella on the star and dots and White Gelly Roll pen dots on the balloons finish my card off.

Happy Earth Day Card

My Design Team Card
My Happy Earth Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Happy Earth Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the cute digital stamp Ellie With Flower Pot.

For those that don’t know what Earth Day is, it is an annual celebration that honours the achievements of the environmental movement and raises awareness of the need to protect Earth’s natural resources for future generations. Earth Day is celebrated on April 22.

The world is our home and every year I like to support Earth Day in my own little way! I thought Ellie With Flower Pot was perfect for my Earth Day Card! So, I coloured her with my Copic markers.

Since this is an Earth Day card, I used recycled paper including some cardboard that I repurposed. The Green Stack is 70% recycled paper. The piece behind Ellie has such words as Wonderful World, Go Green, Blue Skies, Environment, Earth, Green Trees, etc. Perfect for an Earth Day card! The cardboard was some that I had kicking around the house. I pulled it apart and kept the middle corrugated part that I tore to fit my card. I just loved using all these recycled bits for my card!

The world dies and leafy vines really add to the Earth Day theme. For the sentiment, I stamped each letter individually in a haphazard way. I love the rustic feel of the blocked letters!

My Design Team Card for Mother's Day using Kangaroo Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miler Creative Studios
My Mother’s Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with My Mother’s Day Card using the digital stamp called ‘Kangaroo’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. Mother’s Day is just around the corner and this stamp is perfect for that special mom!

I coloured this sweet digital stamp with my Copic markers in Spring like colours. Don’t you just love how the little Roo is hanging out of his mummy’s pouch! Sneak peek…the Designer Series Paper I used is from the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue that starts in May 2021! It was sitting on my desk with it’s pretty colours just begging to be used! Lol! The butterfly from the Brilliant Wings Dies was die cut from the DSP as well. The Pool Party Sheer Ribbon  tied in a pretty bow went perfectly with the DSP! The sentiment was embossed in white and then die cut with a scallop die from the Layering Circle Dies. A scattering of rhinestones, Wink of Stella and Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen add some sparkle to the card.

Rainy Friends Forever Card

My Rainy Friend Forever Card
My Rainy Friends Forever Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Rainy Friends Forever Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the new digital stamp release Rainy Day Owen.

I coloured this cutie and his little friend with my Copic markers. Since he is Rainy Day Owen, I decided to create a rainy scene with my cloud dies and DSP, but with a rainbow peeking through the clouds. I love the sentiment, but it was too long for my card front. So, I did a few snips here and there to pull it apart and added a mat to make them pop from the background. A few more raindrops with my Clear Epoxy Shapes were added. A finishing touch was Glossy Accents on the puddle and raindrops to make them look wet.

My Somebunny Sweet Easter Card
My Somebunny Sweet Easter Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Somebunny Sweet Easter Card using the digital stamp called ‘Easter Bunny Girl’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. What a sweet image for Easter!

I had so much fun colouring my Easter scene with my Copic markers! The Doodlebug paper with those Easter eggs and grass images were perfect for my card! To make my die cut Easter eggs so colourful, I even cut them out of the paper. Don’t you just love them! So cute! I had some scraps of paper left from a previous project. So, I put them together to create a tri-coloured frame behind my coloured image. Great way to use up scraps! I added a white picket fence and clouds with a sun to make my scene so happy since Easter is a happy time for kids big and small!
