My Summer Dreams Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I can’t believe that Summer is almost over! So, in the hopes of making the summer last a little bit longer, I am sharing My Summer Dreams Card as my Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. My card is using the sweet Summer Dreams. This image would be perfect for so many occasions like Birthday, Mother’s Day, Thinking of You, Wedding to name just a few!

Details of My Card

For my card, I coloured this sweet image with my Copic markers to match the beautiful Botanical Tea paper by Graphic 45. I had a lot of fun colouring all those waves and curls in her hair and look at those pleats! Omgoodness! Such colouring fun!

I have been wanting for a while to use the Stitched Greenery Dies by Stampin’ Up! and thought that they would make a perfect subtle mat for my focal point. I die cut the Botanical Tea paper and my coloured image with the Labels Seventeen in two consecutive layering dies. I used my Blending Brush to add some Vintage Photo ink to the edges of all my paper and die cuts. Next, I turn the larger one on its side and punched two holes in it at one end and threaded ribbon through the holes for an unexpected touch.

To add to the botanical theme, I added a leaf trinket so that it looks like it is attached to the ribbon. I found a paper flower that matched my colouring perfectly. To add some matching blue embellishments, I coloured rhinestones with my B34 Copic markers and scattered them here and there.

My Hand-Penned Thank You Card

Thank You Card
Hand-Penned Thank You Card

Today I am sharing my Hand-Penned Thank You Card that is using the Hand-Penned Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I love getting the Suite Collections since you know everything will go together perfectly!

The Hand-Penned Suite Collection includes: 

  • Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set (10% off)
  • Penned Flowers Dies (10% off)
  • Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper
  • Genial Gems

I thought that a Collar Fold would show off both sides of the beautiful Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper! So, I used my Collar Fold Template (found at the end of this post) to measure my DSP for the cutting and folding. Next, I used adhesive to glue the flaps down so that they didn’t interfere with the die cuts.

I wanted the “Thanks” sentiment to fit in the area between the folds resulting in a card that can be either vertical or horizontal. I found that I needed a background behind the stamped flowers to make them stand out from the DSP and the stitched circle from the Painted Labels Dies worked well for it. A butterfly was a perfect accent as if it is flitting from flower to flower on the DSP. The butterfly was die cut from the large piece of Highland Heather making sure that it was in a location that would be covered by the DSP which is a great way to save paper! A scattering of Genial Gems was all this card needed since I wanted the fold to be the focal point.

Penelope Poppy Birthday Card

My Design Team 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!

My Angel Messenger Card

My Design Team Inspiration 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.

My Santorini Window Card

My Welcoming Window Card
My Santorini Window Card

Today I am sharing my Santorini Window Card using the Welcoming Window Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I love that you can make different cards depending on which sentiment you use. This one is a birthday card, but I also made a Mother’s Day card for my mom too.

When I saw this bundle, I immediately thought of creating a window that shows the inside of the card. I went with bright colours that were inspired by a photo from our Greece trip to Santorini with the bright pink bougainvillea flowers against a white building. 

Santorini
Pink Bougainvillea Flowers in Santorini

I stamped directly onto the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper that carried over to the new Annual Catalogue. The white stucco sheet of DSP was perfect for my card. The shutters and window frame just had to be in Pacific Point since that colour reminds me of Santorini! To create my window, I used a piece of wind sheet between the window panes. I even used the part of the DSP that I cut of the window on the inside of my card. Then you would not see the glue that I used to adhere the Pacific Point frame on the front.

Inside of my Birthday Card

For the inside, I stamped my images centred on the page so that I can be seen through the window.

Stack of Sweet Wishes Card

My Design Team Card for Copic for Alle
My Stack of Sweet Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Stack of Sweet Wishes Card as my Guest Design Team Card for Copic for ALLE. I was so excited to be asked to be on their GDT again for the month of May. Their Color Challenge for May is using E (Earth Tone) Copic markers. I use Es in so much of my colouring. They really are a staple for me!

For my card, I pulled out Swiss Pixie Cupcake Birgitta by C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps. A friend, Nathalie, asked me to show her some colouring techniques and I thought this image would be a good one for us to colour together.

I showed her skin blending using E Copic Markers (E000/00/21/11/04/R20). Here is a collage of the skin colouring steps:

Next we worked on her hair using E Copic Markers (E18/E15/E13/E11). This is the collage for the step to colour the hair:

For my card, I created a mini slimline card for my sweet Birgitta! Since she is sitting, I placed her on a cake pedestal. I thought it would be a fun way to show her off. I use Galvanized Metallic paper for the pedestal. The flag banners were cut from the DSP so that they would match the other elements. A scattering of sequins adds some birthday festiveness to the card!

Fine Art Birthday Card

My Fine Art Birthday Card
My Fine Art Birthday Card

Today is I am sharing my Fine Art Birthday Card using the Fine Art Floral Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I love this collection with the lovely flowers and textures on a modern take on classic impasto paintings. Rich textures, lovely florals, gold leafing, and more all work together for a fine art experience that is sure to yield beautiful and elegant results.

The Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set is so pretty with lots of lovely sentiments for all kinds of cards! And you can’t go wrong with the matching Floral Gallery Dies.

How to Use Gilded Leafing Embellishment

When I saw the Gilded Leafing Embellishment in the new mini, I was so excited! It was on the top of my list to buy. I have used similar products and just loved them. So, I knew I would love the Stampin’ Up! version.

For my card, I took the VersaMark Ink Pad and rubbed it on opposite corners of the DSP and the Mossy Meadow card stock (which was embossed first with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder). I then sprinkled Heat & Stick Powder to the ink and set it with my heat tool. It will melt like embossing powder but leaves a sticky residue behind to which you can adhere the Gold Gilding. I then burnished with my fingers the Gold Gilding removing the excess.

Imagine an artist, delicately painting individual canvases in a classic impasto style. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? That’s exactly what this paper is! A Stampin’ Up! artist hand-paint canvases with beautiful florals and textures in classic Stampin’ Up! colors. They then took those canvases, photographed them, and made them into this unique designer series paper. Your heart will grow wild when you get this paper in your hands. The pack includes florals, patterns, colour variance, and all the touches of professional paintings.

To finish my card, I added a strip of the gorgeous Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate behind the Fine Art Ribbon and the sentiment. A scattering of Gold Glitter Enamel Dots tie in the golden theme.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Art Gallery Bundle (156227)

Inks: Bumblebee Classic Stampin’ Pad (153116), Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin’ Pad (147111), VersaMark Ink Pad (102283

Paper: Bumblebee (153077), Mossy Meadow (133676), Basic White (159276), Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate (154557), Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (154558)

Accessories: Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317), 3/8″ Fine Art Ribbon (154561), Heat & Stick Powder (156110), Gilded Leafing Embellishment (154560), Gold Glitter Enamel Dots (152155), Heat Tool (129053 ), Bone Folder (102300), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Stampin’ Seal (152813), Glue Dots (103683)

Dance for Joy Card

My Dance for Joy Card
Dance for Joy Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Dance for Joy Card using the digital PNG stamp called ‘Ballerina Princess’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios as my Design Team Inspiration. Don’t you love this sweet little girl who just loves to dance!

For my card, I knew that I wanted to create a really girly card with soft pinks, blues and yellows. So, the 5thAvenue Paper was perfect for my card! Once I coloured her with my Copic markers, I added glitter to her top, flowers in her hair and the star on her wand with a Clear Gelly Roll Pen.

I created a frame for my little Ballerina like she was hung on a wall in a place of honour. I used the Hydrangea Punch to build my flowers to match my colours and added a pearl in the centre since pearls are very girly! The flag banner was die cut from the 5th Avenue Paper Pad and flanked by my flowers. Of course you have to have pink ballerina shoes for a ballerina! The sentiment sums up my card perfectly!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Birthday to Me! Card
Happy Birthday to Me! Card

Today is my birthday! So I thought I would share my Happy Birthday to Me Card celebrating me and my friend, Sheina, who’s birthday is today as well! Happy Birthday Sheina!

I recently attended a Virtual Stampin’ Up! Christmas Party that was put on by our team leader. The party was delayed until January since Covid was affecting delivery schedules. For this party, we were we given a package of products including a Pool Party card base, Basic Black Card Stock, Basic White Card Stock, a piece of True Love Designer Series Paper, a Square Vellum Doily and Pool Party Sheer Ribbon to create a mystery card. We could use these supplies anyway we liked to create something to share with the group. We could also add any additional supplies to the card that we wished.

Package of Products
Package of Products

My Additional Supplies

So, I added the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, Pool Party Ink, VersaMark Ink, White Embossing Powder, Basic Black Card Stock and Rhinestone Basic Jewels to create my final card.

I love the very elegant black/white True Love DSP with the floral motif on one side and geometrics on the other. There are so many ways to add colour to it. You could colour it with the Stampin’ Blends, the Stampin’ Write Markers, sponges or daubers. I chose to add Pool Party Ink using the new Blending Brushes.

I then trimmed it into 3 equal pieces and added it to the Basic Black mat. Once the sentiment was heat set on the Basic Black card stock, I added a trimmed down edge of the Square Doily so that it peeks out. I tied the pretty Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon around my focal point and popped it up with dimensionals. I added a scattering of Rhinestone Basic Jewels to add some shimmer.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set (151331

Inks: VersaMark Ink (102283), Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pad (147107)

Paper: Pool Party (122924), Basic White (159276), Basic Black (121045), True Love Designer Series Paper (154281)

Accessories: Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (152702), Blending Brushes (153611), Pool Party 3/8” Sheer Ribbon(152462), White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (109132), Heat Tool (129053), Square Vellum Doilies (152484), Rhinestone Basic Jewels (144220), Bone Folder (102300), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Stampin’ Seal (152813), Glue Dots (103683)

A Grand Adventure Card

My Life is a Grand Adventure Design Team Card
My Design Team Card

It’s Laurie here with A Grand Adventure Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her cute Elephant Adventure Digital Stamp. This little girl looks like she is in for the ride of her life and making great memories as she does! One day, I hope to visit Africa and go on Safari with cameras. It’s on my Bucket List!

For my card, it may be hard to see, but the paper has elephants on it along with some other animals like giraffes, birds, hyaenas and more. So I knew I wanted to use that as my base for the card design. Even the Great Memories tag with the elephant came from that paper pack! The iconic Acacia Tree that is behind the tag came from the Safari Collection Dies and was perfect for my African theme!

My Sweet Wishes Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Sweet Wishes Birthday Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. This cute digital stamp is called Baker Ellie Digital Stamp. I coloured her with my Copic Markers to look like me since this card was for a friend who is an amazing baker. I figured this was as close to me baking her a cake as was possible! Lol!

Mary, my friend, makes the best cakes and cake pops! They are just to die for! So, I knew that I wanted a Designer Series Paper that had lots of cakes on it. And of course, you need all the accoutrements for baking like a whisk, a rolling pin and an icing bag! Don’t you just love the little muffin pan charm with the paper flowers surrounding it!

Wouldn’t you love to receive this pretty Floral Happy Birthday Card in the mail! By changing the sentiment, it would even be a perfect Mother’s Day card! I love the subtle colours of Highland Heather, Pear Pizzazz and Rococo Rose that I picked. The Layered with Kindness Stamp Set is s a Distinktive stamp set; it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images. And the matching punches of Label Me Fancy and Label Me Lovely allow you to layer the sentiment! The Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder continues the floral theme to create a whole bouquet! Let’s get started!
