Celebrate the Season Card 

Celebrate the Season Card - Christmas card with a girl wearing a snowman sweater and holding a candy cane
Celebrate the Season Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Celebrate the Season Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stamp called Emma in Christmas Sweater

Details of My Celebrate the Season Card

For my card, I decided to create a mini slimline card using the Pink Fresh scallop die. What is so nice about this die is that it cuts two scallop rectangles at once. I used both scallop rectangles with one in pink and one in red to match my colour scheme.

I love Mintay Papers, and the Merry Little Christmas paper is gorgeous! So, I decided to use it for my colour scheme of red and pink with white accents. I coloured Emma with my Copic markers to match my colour scheme. Don’t you just love her snowman sweater! In fact, I have coloured this stamp before. I will include a link at the end of this post to the other card that I made using her. 

For the sentiment cluster, I used a silver snowflake to add some sparkle, a fussy cut candy cane from the Mintay paper and a die cut sentiment.

Next, I used Glossy Accents on the candy cane and Stardust Stickles on the trim of the hats and boots. The only thing left was to add a few red rhinestones for a bit more sparkle.

Crackin’ Holidays Panel Card

Crackin’ Holidays Panel Card - A Christmas Card with Nutcrackers on it
My Crackin’ Holidays Panel Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Crackin’ Holidays Panel Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the New Release Christmas Nutcracker Ensemble Bundle. This purchase includes 4 Images: 

  • Image 1: Christmas Nutcracker Ensemble, PNG format
  • Image 2. Nutcracker Drummer, PNG format
  • Image 3. Nutcracker King, PNG format
  • Image 4. Nutcracker Soldier, PNG format

The Details of My Crackin’ Holidays Panel Card

For my card, I wanted to create a Nutcracker Ballet themed panel card that when closed, you see just the Soldier and Drummer and then you open it to see the King. So, I used the individual nutcrackers in the stamp set and coloured them in traditional colours with my Copic markers.

For the panel card base, I used a premade card blank from Hunkydory, but you could easily create one yourself. I used a pencil and traced the edges of the card base onto the music DSP and then used my Paper Snips to cut it out. The music DSP was perfect to represent the March of the Nutcrackers music from The Nutcracker Ballet. Next, I brushed Vintage Photo onto the DSP. This was two-fold…one to cover where my cutting was not perfect and the other to add a finished edge to the base.

To highlight the nutcrackers in each of their panels, I layered each with a plaid piece of DSP that matched my colouring and a Real Red mat that I die cut out with the Mini Slimline Stackables from Lawn Fawn. For the smaller panels, I used nutcracker DSP with Real Red mats and a pair of glimmery ballet slippers to match my theme.

For embellishments, I added some distressed gold die cut garlands and ribbons at the top of each nutcracker panel. I also added some red rhinestones to add some sparkle, in addition, to the Clear Wink of Stella on all the gold trim of the nutcrackers.

To keep my card closed, I created a 1 ½” belly band of DSP and Real Red card stock with an ornament sticker from my stash.

My Spooky Season Card

My Spooky Season Card - A Halloween Card with A boy holding shovel and girl holding a knife.
My Spooky Season Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy Halloween! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Spooky Season Card using Scary Doll Owen and Scary Doll Emma by Paper Nest Dolls as my Design Team Inspiration Card. I couldn’t resist squeaking in one final Halloween card!

The Details of My Spooky Season Card

For my card, I had to do some research! I’m not a big horror fan. So, I had to google what these characters were and colour them according to the photos online. Lol! I used my Copic markers to colour them and added Glossy Accents to the shovel and the knife. Also, I added silver gelly roll pen to all the metallic trim on Emma’s jacket.

Since I had two stamps to place on my card, I decided to create a slimline card, but I thought it would be fun to use the tag “Tis the Season to be Spooky”. So, I brushed Black Soot along the edges to give it a distressed feel. Next, I added a black mat to the tag and rubbed Brushed Iron wax on the mat, the die cut gates, and the mat of my card to tie them all in together. Once I did that, I placed my sentiment sticking above the card with an iron gate on either side of it with my characters layered in front.

I love the oval dies that I used for the black mat and the Skull and cross bone paper! Such a fun and interesting shape!

For embellishments, I used several bats and black rhinestone stickers, as well as a spider trinket that I placed over the printed spider on the tag. The only other thing that I added was the reverse “Scary” word to the tag. It summed up my card perfectly!

Merry Christmas Elves Card 

Merry Christmas Elves Card - A Christmas card with three girl elves on it.
Merry Christmas Elves Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Merry Christmas Elves Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Christmas Girl Elves. This purchase includes 8 Images:

  • Image 1 & 2: Christmas Girl Elves JPG / PNG format
  • Image 3 & 4: Candy Cane Girl Elf JPG / PNG format
  • Image 5 & 6: Little Gift Girl Elf JPG / PNG format
  • Image 7 & 8: Big Gift Girl Elf JPG / PNG format

The Details of My Merry Christmas Elves Card

For my card, I decided to go with traditional colours and use my favourites red and green Copic markers for these cuties. Once they were coloured, I went with an 8 ½” x 4” slimline card to fit my colouring.

I also decided that I wanted to create a rustic look to match my papers. So, I blended Vintage Photo ink along the edges of my coloured piece to make them look worn. 

The Simple Stories paper matched my Copic colours perfectly! Since my card was so long, I used a 12” x 12” paper for the base and the smaller 6” x 6” pad for accent pieces. These accent pieces were die cut ticket stubs that I repurposed to create some interest in the background papers. I cut two of them using the Simple Stories paper and two Real Red ones that I used as a border. I placed these accents on either side of my colouring.

Next, I added some holly flourishes along the edges of my coloured piece. The “Merry” “& Bright” sentiments were stamped in Mossy Meadow and Real Red to match my colour scheme and cut out with my paper snips. They were layered onto a wooden star for that rustic feel with a Real Red stitched circle. The “25” was a tag from the Santa Claus Lane Frames & Tags which I layered another stitched circle underneath.

To add some sparkle, I used Star Dust Stickles on the white trim of their outfits and Clear Wink of Stella on the ribbons of the presents. Glossy Accents was added to the candy cane to give it a shine. A scattering of red rhinestones was added to match my colour scheme and for even more sparkle.

My Sunflower Thanksgiving Card

The Details of My Card

Since this weekend is the Canadian Thanksgiving, I decided to create a mini slimline Thanksgiving card using this beautiful sunflower arrangement. Perfect for a Thanksgiving card with the sunflowers and pumpkins!

I had fun colouring with my Copic markers the pumpkins in different colours to make them stand out from each other. The sunflowers are so gorgeous and a delight to colour as well!

I found this beautiful sunflower paper with soft colours that was fantastic for my card! I added a border at the top and bottom with some scraps of paper from Graphic 45. The fence behind the sunflower arrangement was a laser die cut that I trimmed down to fit my card.

The sentiment from the bundle was die cut with the Labels Aglow Dies to give it some interest. Of course, if you have an autumn card, you need a die cut leaf. Lol! I tucked this behind the sentiment which created an ideal backdrop for the paper sunflower from my stash.

The only other embellishments were a bumblebee and a scattering of rhinestones that matched my colour scheme.

Scary Cute Halloween Card 

Scary Cute Halloween Card - a Halloween card with a girl dressed as a vampire with two balloons
Scary Cute Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Scary Cute Halloween Card using Vampire Ellie by Paper Nest Dolls as my Design Team Inspiration Card.

The Details of My Colouring

For my card, I had so much fun colouring Vampire Ellie with my Copic markers! I knew that I wanted to give her black hair and decided to go with a ghoulish green and red since she is a vampire. I made her skin a bit lighter by not using E04 for my shadows to give her a deathly pallor. Lol!

For the balloons, I went with an ectoplasm green like in Ghostbusters and a black for the bat. I used my white gelly roll pen to make bat’s fangs stand out and for the highlights on both balloons. The balloons also had glossy accents add to them to make them look like real balloons. Star Dust Stickles were added to the red bows and red trim of her dress. 

The Details of My Scary Cute Halloween Card

I decided to create a mini slimline card since I wanted to create a spooky graveyard scene with my dies. Of course, if you have a vampire, you must have a moon dripping blood! Lol! So, I stamped the blood drips first before die cutting the moon out. That way the craters on the moon die did not cause voids in the stamped dripping blood. Next, I brushed Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink around the edges of my moon to make it glow.

Then, I die cut the graveyard in Basic Black and Basic Gray to help differentiate the two layers. Don’t you love how the spooky sky and moon show through the gate to the graveyard!

For the sky, I went with some spooky green skulls paper to match my colouring. Plus, they reminded me of all the ghosts in the graveyard.

A couple of black glimmer bats add some sparkle to the sky. The “Scary” sentiment was die cut from red glimmer paper to match my red colouring.

Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of red rhinestones and black sequins to match my colour scheme.

My Pumpkin Patch Card 

My Pumpkin Patch Card - an autumn card with a little girl in a witch costume picking out a pumpkin
My Pumpkin Patch Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Pumpkin Patch Card using the new release Pumpkin Emily by Conie Fong Art & Design as my Design Team Inspiration Card. Doesn’t she make the most perfect autumnal card, but she could also be used for Halloween or Thanksgiving!

The Details of My Pumpkin Patch Card

For my card, I decided to create an autumnal card with fall like colours with a pumpkin patch theme since she is picking out her pumpkin. I had so much fun colouring Pumpkin Emily with my Copic Markers in oranges, blue/greens and blacks to match my paper. Once she was coloured, I added Clear Wink of Stella to the ribbon on her hat. For the cat, I decided to make it a tabby cat, but it could also be a black cat for Halloween. I used my black 0.3 Copic multi liner to add the stripes after I had coloured it with my Copic markers.

Next, I die cut her out with a 4” stitched circle die and placed a number of die cut leaves and a pumpkin in one corner to match my theme. The “Hello Pumpkin” sentiment was a sticker that came in the Carta Bella Welcome Fall Kit. In the other corner, I used another sticker of a Pumpkin Patch sign. Perfect for my Pumpkin Patch theme! The leaves falling around her were also from the same sticker set.

Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of Enamel Dots that matched my colour scheme.

Halloween Is Here Card 

Halloween Is Here Card -Halloween Card with a Witch with a broomstick in front of a haunted house
Halloween Is Here Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Halloween Is Here Card using the new release Broomstick Emily Witch by Conie Fong Art & Design as my Design Team Inspiration Card. This purchase includes 4 stamps:

The Details of My Halloween Is Here Card

I had so much fun colouring Broomstick Emily Witch with my Copic Markers in Halloween colours! Once she was coloured, I added Gold Gelly Roll to her boot buckles and Clear Wink of Stella to all the green trim pieces on her hat and top.

Next, I decided to create a mini slimline card since I wanted to use my new Haunted House Coverplate by Photo Play and thought it would be a perfect backdrop for Broomstick Emily Witch. I added some Crushed Curry behind the windows to make them glow eerily.

I decided that the haunted house needed a big full moon. So, I die cut the moon die and brushed Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink along the edges to give it dimension. Of course, if you have a haunted house, you need a sparkly bat flying around.

For the sky, I went with some spooky green skulls paper to match my colouring. The other piece of DSP I used was a border along the left side to balance out Emily and to add some unexpected colour. This border was a perfect anchor for my black sparkly “EEK” sentiment.

Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of sprinkles that matched my colour scheme.

My Aloha Santa Card 

My Aloha Santa Card - a card with Santa on vacation floating in a pool
My Aloha Santa Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Aloha Santa Card for as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Vacation Santa Set. There are 7 stamps, which include Surfer Santa, Ice-cream Santa, Santa with Reindeer Floatie, Santa & Mrs. Claus, Palm Tree and Flamingo & Gifts, that come in both rubber and digital stamps. I made cards with Ice-cream Santa and Santa with Reindeer Floatie from this set as well and will include a link to them at the end of this post.

The Details of My Aloha Santa Card 

For my card, I thought to create an Aloha card since Hawaii is the perfect place for Santa to take a vacation before his busy time of year! Lol!

Once Santa was coloured with my Copic markers in bright vacation colours, I placed him on a stitched circle cut out from paper that looked like pool water. I thought it would be fun to place the “pool” off-centred on the card and trim a small piece off the one edge.

Don’t you just love the sparkle of the Aloha sticker, and it pulls out the orange that I used in my colouring! Of course, if Santa is in the land of paradise, he needs a sunny day to folic in the pool! Hence the die cut sun behind the Aloha. Lol!

For my card base, I used green DSP for my palm die cut frame and then some orange DSP with flowers behind it to add to my colour scheme. To mirror the palm die cut, I used a paper palm leaf in one corner.

I added some Star Dust Stickles to Santa’s hat trim, white Gelly Roll Pen for the shine on his floatie and Glossy Accents to Rudolph’s nose. Finally, for embellishment, I used a few sprinkles to match the colours of my card.

The Perfect Day Card 

The Perfect Day Card - A wedding card with bride and groom kissing
The Perfect Day Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing The Perfect Day Card using the digital stamp After the Vows by Tiddly Inks Stamps. This past weekend we attended a wedding, and this was the card I made for the happy couple to celebrate their love!

The Details of My Card

The digital stamp comes with the couple in full length, but I thought a close-up of the couple kissing would be a lovely focal point. So, I coloured the couple with my Copic markers in tones befitting my couple. The bride has gorgeous flowing locks of hair, and this stamp was perfect to represent her! I added a light coating of white pencil over the veil to differentiate where the veil was on her hair. Unfortunately, it is hard to see in the photo. Finally, I added Clear Wink of Stella to the bride’s veil to give it shimmer. For the groom, I coloured the skin and hair to look like the groom’s Pilipino heritage. This was the first time colouring this skin tone and I was quite happy with how it turned out!

For my card, I decided to create lots of pretty layers with the lace ribbon, heart doily and die cut hearts. The beautiful Craft O’Clock paper was the perfect backdrop with lace, flowing script, worn wood planks and flowers on it!

The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark ink and heat embossed with silver embossing powder to match the sparkly rhinestones and then die cut out. The die cut “love” sentiment was the epitome of what brought these two together to be married.

Finally, I couldn’t resist adding one more heart in the form of the sliver heart charm under the sentiment.

My Serene Birthday Card

My Serene Birthday Card - A birthday card with a girl holding flowers
My Serene Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my second card using Serenity by Conie Fong Art & Design called My Serene Birthday Card. The Design Team members are celebrating Girls/Ladies this weekend with all things feminine! So, I picked this beautiful image to celebrate, and I coloured her twice! I will post my other card at the end.

The Details of My Card

For My Serene Birthday Card, I decided to create a mini slimline card to show that you can create different sized cards with the same image. I made my card size a little larger than a normal mini slimline to fit all my elements, but it can still fit in a No. 10 envelope.

I used the Secret Garden paper again for my colour choices in her colouring with a slight variation on her flowers from my first card. Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen was used for her necklace and Wink of Stella for the butterfly’s wings to add some shimmer.

Next, I went with the Photo Play dies for my background. One of the dies is shaped like a tag, but I wanted to use it for the green piece behind her. So, I snipped off the tag part and hid that part beneath the sentiment piece. The two top horizontal banners were remnants from my first card, and I didn’t want them to go to waste. Plus, they gave a finished edge to the top while tying in the colour scheme.

For the next step, I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape onto a tag cut out from the P13 paper pad.

I thought the leafy vine going from my girl to the sentiment tied everything together so nicely while adding interest.

Finally, I added a scattering of brass butterflies for embellishments.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Serenity Blooms Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Serenity. The Design Team are celebrating Girls/Ladies this weekend with all things feminine! So, I picked this beautiful image to celebrate!

The Details of My Card

When you buy this digital stamp, you will receive two stamps with the girl’s hair flowing left or right. I couldn’t resist colouring them both with the same colour scheme, but with a variation on their flowers. So, I made one card for today and the other card will follow later.

Two Versions of Serenity

For My Serenity Blooms Card, I decided to use the Secret Garden paper and decorative tags by P13 for my colour choices. I just love the gorgeous colours of them! I picked the paper with a wreath off to the side for my background and matted it with a matching purple paper from the P13 paper pad.

Next, I decided to add a die cut frame behind her to create some visual interest, but I thought it would be fun to have her off-centred from it. As a result, the wreath was flowing through my frame and they created a nice backdrop for my colouring.

The Decorative Tags are a perfect match to the paper, and I decided to use two of them to tie in my colour scheme. I added a bow to the top to cover the hole and finish the tags off.

For the next step, the Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen was used for her necklace and Wink of Stella for the butterfly’s wings to add some shimmer.

Finally, for embellishments, I added a scattering of brass butterflies and rhinestones coloured with my Copic markers to match my colour scheme.

My Poinsettia Christmas Card 

My Poinsettia Christmas Card - A Christmas Card with a lady with Christmas flowers in her hair
My Poinsettia Christmas Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I’m squeezing in one final Christmas in July card for you today! I am sharing My Poinsettia Christmas Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Christmas Leilani

The Details of My Card

I loved colouring with my Copic markers Leilani, especially all that gorgeous hair! I matched my colouring of the flowers to the beautiful Poinsettia Garden Paper Collection by Paper Roses that I just purchased on a road trip with friends! So, I went with a deep red for the poinsettias, a blue/green for the succulents and white for the other flowers. Tip: for contrast with the reds, add C5 to the deepest shadows to make the individual petals pop.

Once she was coloured, I knew that I wanted to use the pretty Poinsettia Border Die also by Paper Roses. This was purchased on the same road trip as the paper. I loved how the die is so delicate while allowing the Paper Roses smaller poinsettia paper to peek through.

Next, I added a border of pretty lace to mark my transition between the die and the other side of the card. I used a piece of the Paper Roses paper with larger poinsettias on it as a backdrop for Leilani. Since this is a Christmas card, I thought a gold edge to it would tie in nicely to the other gold accents.

The sentiment was heat embossed in gold and matted with Cherry Cobbler. To continue the gold theme, I added a gold die cut filigree below it.

Then the paper poinsettias were added around her. The gold centres mirror the gold Gelly Roll Pen that I used on the poinsettias in my colouring.

Finally, the finishing touch was a couple of gold glitters dots placed around my focal point of Leilani.

My Sliding Santa Card

My Sliding Santa Card - A Christmas Card with Santa on a floatie in a pool.
My Sliding Santa Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Sliding Santa Card for Christmas in July and as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the Vacation Santa Set. There are 7 stamps, which include Surfer Santa, Ice-cream Santa, Santa with Reindeer Floatie, Santa & Mrs. Claus, Palm Tree and Flamingo & Gifts, that come in both rubber and digital stamps. I made a card with Ice-cream Santa from this set as well and will include a link to it at the end of this post.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create fun interactive slider card using Santa with Reindeer Floatie. I had so much fun colouring this cutie with my Copic markers! In fact, I coloured two of him and will use the second version on another card. I added some white Gelly Roll Pen to his floatie and Rudolph’s nose to give them a shine.

Next, I wanted to see the different layers of the papers behind him. So, I used two different slimline die sets. I picked a water-like paper for the slider piece as if he is going down a river twirling around like at one of those amusement parks. Lol! I kept the cut-out piece from the slider die and glued it through the hole onto the layer below it so that you couldn’t see the orange layer below. This added to my pool like feel.

I used some slider discs to create my slider, but in the past, I have also used pennies. I made sure that my dimensionals were round so that I could get him spinning around. There is a good video by Taylored Expressions on making a slider card using their discs. I followed it to create my slider part. I will add a link at the end of this post.

My Sliding Santa Card in Action

I decorated my card using some Christmas Chit Chat pieces. I popped up the sentiment ones making sure that my Santa would not get caught on them. A couple of matching glitter dots were added to add some sparkle.

Santa on Vacation Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Santa on Vacation Card for Christmas in July and as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Vacation Santa Set. There are 7 stamps, which include Surfer Santa, Ice-cream Santa, Santa with Reindeer Floatie, Santa & Mrs. Claus, Palm tree and Flamingo & Gifts, that come in both rubber and digital stamps.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a summer beach scene with Santa enjoying his ice cream! I coloured Santa and the palm tree with my Copic Markers. I love that he has a candy cane in his ice cream! Lol! I added Glossy Accents to his glasses and the light bulbs on the palm tree. For the palm tree, I used Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to make the star sparkle and Silver Gelly Roll Pen on the wires for the lights.

Next, onto the scene building! The sky was created with watercolor paper and blending two blue Distress Oxide Inks onto it with my blending brush. Then, I used my splatter brush to splatter water to create some texture. Once that was done, I die cut some sand dunes and embossed them to give them the texture of sand. Finally, the sun and cloud were added to finish off my scene.

For the sentiment, I wanted just “Merry and Bright” even though the sentiment was “May Your Days be Merry and Bright”. So, I used Scotch Tape (you could also use a post-it note) to mask off the text that I didn’t want. Remember to remove the tape before you stamp though! Once the sentiment was stamped, I heat embossed it in white and die cut it out.

My beachy scene was added to a piece of Make A Splash paper that had palm trees in a bright greens and blue sky to mirror my scene.

The only embellishments added were some red rhinestones scattered around my focal point.
