Grouchy Kitty Birthday Card 

Grouchy Kitty Birthday Card - a birthday card with a cat holding a balloon
Grouchy Kitty Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Grouchy Kitty Birthday Card using the Grouchy Pets Clear Stamp Set and matching dies by CC Designs. It was my sister-in-law’s birthday recently and I thought she would find this kind of snarky card funny!

The Details of My Card

For my Grouchy Kitty Birthday Card, I knew that I wanted to use the grouchy cats from CC Designs since I thought my SIL (sister-in-law) would get a kick out of them! Plus, I found the perfect poem online that I typed out on my computer and printed off. If you watch Sheldon the TV series, you will get the reference. I knew that my SIL would get a laugh out of it!

A poem about a grouch cat
Grouchy Kitty Poem

My SIL has a brown tabby cat. So, I coloured with my Copic markers one of the cats to look like it. For variation, I made another black and the third an orange tabby. For the tabby cats, I used a Copic multi liner to create their stripes in a triangle scribble shape.

Next, I pulled out my Small Slimline with Lift the Flaps Dies by Lawn Fawn. I love this interactive die set! So fun! I thought it would be neat to have one cat on the front holding a balloon. Don’t you just love the face on this cat! Like he is so put out that he must hold a balloon! Lol!

When the flaps are open, you see the other cats and the grouchy kitty poem. I used my paper snips to cut down the cats to fit and added a party hat sticker to each of the cats. Again, the faces of those cats are so priceless especially since they must wear party hats! I can definitely see a cat making that face! Lol!

I added a few present stickers to dress up the poem panel. On the front of the card, I added some paw gems and red rhinestones for embellishments.

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.

Tri-Fold Shutter Card

Tri-Fold Shutter Card: A fun fold birthday card with a camping theme.
Tri-Fold Shutter Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my alternative Tri-Fold Shutter Card using the May 2023 Exploring In Color Paper Pumpkin Kit. I made one of these for Father’s Day (I will post it at the end) using the same kit but using a different card. It was a huge hit! So, I thought I would make one as a birthday card for a teenager who loves to camp! 

The Details of My Card

For my fun-fold card, I used a full card base front and back from the Paper Pumpkin Kit. Loved that the card bases were printed with a continual scene from front to back! Therefore, with some careful measuring, this made it easy to create my card! 

Front of Card Folded To A2 Card Size
Front of Card Folded To A2 Card Size

Since the PP card base is 5 ½” tall (same as my card base), I trimmed ¼” off top and bottom to make it fit onto my card base with mats. I didn’t mat the two centre scene strips since they were so thin already. They also have the fold from the PP card base in them, but you really don’t notice it.

Next, the stamped images were from the stamp set that came in the kit. I made the boots look like they were walking. Lol! Since the stamped pieces filled the space so nicely, I didn’t need to mat them.

Card Laid Flat

Finally, the only things that I added to my card was the card base, some In Color card stock and Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems. The linen thread, binoculars and sentiment pieces were all from the kit.

You’re Stellar Wobble Card

A card with an Astronaut and planet on it.
You’re Stellar Wobble Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my You’re Stellar Wobble Card using the Stargazing Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! This Collection includes the Reach for the Stars Stamp Set, Reach for the Stars Dies and Stargazing 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper.

The Details of My Card

My card was for a swap, and I decided to make a fun faux centre-step card to allow enough room for the astronaut and a planet to fit on my centre panel. I used the measurements from my faux centre-step template which I have included at the end of this post.

When I saw this Suite in the Annual Catty, I knew that I wanted to make a wobble card as well! They are so fun and interactive! I bought the Mini Action Wobble on Amazon.ca, but you could easily make your own by using a piece of bendable wire and wrap it around a pencil. Then, secure one end to your wobble piece and the other end to the card base.

Astronaut in Action

Since I made this card for a swap, I needed several planets, but only a couple fit the planet die and the rings die. I really wanted to use the ring die with silver foil paper! I thought it would add some cosmic shimmer along with the die cut stars! So, I fudged it. Tip: if you die cut the larger planets, make sure that the shadow is showing in the centre of the die. This gives it a realistic 3D look.

All Cards with Different Planets
Swap Cards with Different Planets

I decided to stamp my astronaut and sentiment in Basic Gray since there was already a lot of black to my card. Besides, it was a good alternative to colouring the astronaut since I would have used Smoky Slate to colour his shadows and left most of him white anyways. So, this did it for me!

Tip: to figure out where to place glue for the centre panel, I used my grid paper a pencil to mark the section.

The only embellishments were three Classic Matte Dots in each colour tying in my colour scheme. Of course, they had to be in a row showing my Star Trekkie side of me! Lol!

I made another card as well for a friend. This time I added the retired Shimmery Crystal Effects to the astronaut’s helmet. So fun!

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Stargazing Suite Collection (161189)

Inks: Basic Gray (149165)

Paper: Basic Black (121045), Basic White (159276), Lemon Lime Twist (144245), Silver Foil 12” x 12” Specialty Pack (156457), Stargazing 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (in Collection)

I Detect a Birthday Card 

A birthday card with detectives and a dog on it.
I Detect a Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my I Detect a Birthday Card using the It’s a Mystery Stamp Set by Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps!

This card was for a 13-year-old boy whose birthday is today! Every year I create an interactive card for him. Last year I created a Pop & Twist card and in the past years, I created a Never-Ending Card, a Slider card, a wobble card and so on. He always says that I make the best cards EVER! Got to love that!

So, this year, I decided to create a Double Flap Flashlight Card for him to investigate the clues to his birthday mystery! So much fun! For my card, I thought the It’s a Mystery Stamp Set and the Master Detective Paper were perfect for my theme!

The Details of My Card

I stamped the images with Jet Black StazOn Ink onto a window sheet. Tip: be careful when stamping the stamp since the ink will be slippery. The stamp may slide if you don’t keep your stamp horizontal as you press. StazOn will not smear once it dries though.

My Card in Action

I used the second largest Stitched Rectangle Die to create a window in Basic Black cardstock and glued the window sheet behind it. A circle punch was used to create an opening for finger access at the base of the window piece. To create the “hidden clues”, I glued Basic Black cardstock to the back of the window piece on three sides leaving the bottom open to create a pocket where the flashlight would go. The black stamped images disappear against the black cardstock! Tip: use really strong adhesive since this is the interactive part.

For my flashlight, I used a circle punch to punch the white flashlight part. The handle was 2 strips of ¾” x 5” Basic Black glue together to make it sturdy. This handle was sandwiched between the white circle and a Basic Black scalloped circle to create the flashlight. I added some glimmer washi tape to make it catch the eye.

The inside of the card was decorated with the Master Detective paper. Graphic 45 made it so easy with the tags! I even used some of the tags to create pull out cards for which the boy can play.

The only stamping on the inside was the sentiment piece. The only embellishment I used was the magnifying glass charm. Perfect for my card!

Game on Platform Card 

A pop-up card with Super Mario Brothers
Game on Platform Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Game on Platform Card using the Game on Limited Edition Box by Kindred Stamps!

One of my brother’s recently had a birthday and he loved playing Super Mario Brothers when he was growing up. I also bought the Lawn Fawn Platform Pop-Up Dies and the Platform Pop-Up Add-On Dies recently. So, I thought a platform card using his favourite characters would be a fun card to send him!

The Details of My Card

I coloured several characters with my Copic markers in the bright primary colours from the game. Then, I assembled the platform dies and add-on dies to create my scene. The dies come with everything you need to create a scene. I used the grass and hill dies from the platform and added the sun and clouds dies from the Add-on. Once my platform was completed, I just had to add my characters.

The only embellishment I used was a “game on” puffy sticker on the front.

I love how the platform folds down for mailing and fits perfectly in a 5 ½” x 5 ½” envelope!

My Bee’s Knees Card 

A Valentine card with a Boy and girl bee holding hearts
My Bee’s Knees Card 

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Bee’s Knees Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the super cute Bee With Heart Bundle.

This Bundle includes 5 images:

  • Title 1: Bee With Heart – Boy (PNG)
  • Title 2: Bee With Heart – Girl (PNG)
  • Title 3: Flower Accessory for Bee (PNG)
  • Title 4: For My Sweet Friend Sentiment (PNG)
  • Title 5: Sending Hugs Sentiment (PNG)

The Details of My Card

These bees are such a fast colour with my Copic markers and perfect for a super cute Valentine card, but they could also be used for an anniversary, a wedding, even a birthday!

I decided to use the quilt top die and the individual hexagons that you can place where you want to create a fun shaker card. The Graphic 45 paper with the honeycomb pattern, bees and flowers made it feel like you are glimpsing into a busy hive. I used several different shaker elements, especially hearts, to tie in my Valentine theme.

The Bundle comes with sentiments, but I wanted to heat emboss with white on black card stock. I love the contrast of white on black especially for my card! The stamp comes with several great bee sentiments that can be used for all occasions, but I used one appropriate for a Valentine card.

I printed the Flower Accessory several times and coloured them with my Copic markers. To add depth to the flowers, I used an Embossing Stylus Tool and rolled it around the flowers on the Stampin’ Pierce Mat. This made the edges curl up to create dimension. The only embellishment I used was a bumblebee trinket. To add sparkle, I used Clear Wink of Stella on their wings and Stickles on the hearts that they carry.

My Love Potion Card 

A Valentine Card with a girl holding a love potion
My Love Potion No. 9 Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Love Potion No. 9 Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Love Potion Avery from the Love Potion Set. This Set includes 3 stamps which are Love Potion Amara, Love Potion Avery, and the Love Potion.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a fun faux shaker card. I have been wanting to make one for a while and thought this would a perfect card for it! My card is super easy and fast to make!

For those of you who don’t know what a faux shaker card is, I used a clear envelope over my project. I then added my shaker bits to the bag and sealed it. Easy peasy!

I love the Valentine Doodlebug paper that I used for the backdrop of my card. The sentiment piece was also from the Doodlebug paper pad, and I just framed it with my colour scheme.

Since I added sequins and hearts as my shaker pieces, I decided to go simple with the other embellishments. I added layered die cut hearts to one corner of the sentiment with a heart gem on top.

The Love Potion Set comes with the Love Potion by itself. So, I coloured it like the one Avery is holding and added it to another corner of the sentiment.

The finishing touch was Glossy Accents to her glasses and beaker and Stickles to the hearts in the potions.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Birthday…Happy Birthday Card using Secret Agent by Kindred Stamps! My Hubby is a big fan of the James Bond movies and when I saw this stamp set, I knew it would be hit for his birthday card!

The Kindred Stamps Design Team had several inspirational cards that inspired me to create my own version of a file folder with the Magic Iris. I knew that I wanted to use both elements on my card.

The Details of My Card

I had a lot of fun creating my file folder and it had to be a certain size to fit the Magic Iris. So, it is a little wider than a regular A2 card base since the folder tab sticks out. The File Folder Edgelit Dies by Stampin’ Up! are retired, but I have made a file folder with my Envelope Punch Board in the past as well. There is also a file folder in the Specimens Edgelit Dies, but I needed a larger one to fit the iris.

For the front of the folder, I decided to make it look like it’s been through the wars with blood running down the front (just like the opening of the movies! Lol!), blood splatter, mysterious footprints, and a few spy paraphernalia items! I even had the blood run onto the sentiment piece. The “Confidential” and “Top Secret” stamps come with the set and were perfect for my theme! To make it even more rough, I blended some Vintage Photo Ink on the edges of the folder and the sentiment. 

Inside My Card

Amanda Stevens, a Design Team Member for Kindred Stamps, created a file folder PDF that you can download for both birthday and Father’s Day. Here is the link to her YouTube channel that lists the files. I used the birthday mission part for the inside of my card. Love that you can customize it to suit your needs! I added My Hubby’s birthday date and his “also known as” (aka) handle “Sweetie” to the file. Lol! The piece of washi tape was his secret agent’s name that had been “redacted”! The stamp set even comes with a martini glass and I couldn’t resist using it! Again, I distressed the brief with ink and add some blood splatters before gluing it at the top and adding some metallic dots like the brief was clipped to the folder.

For the other side, I decided to use the Magic Iris to mimic the opening of the movies when Bond enters. I embossed in black the Spiral Dye Stamp Set onto the black cardstock from which I die cut the front of the Iris. The part that wasn’t used for the iris, I glued down to continue the spiral on the page. I had die cut the “Filed” tab and had planned to add it to the front of the folder, but in the end, I placed it under the Iris to give the black a bit of colour.

My Pop & Twist Halloween Card

Halloween Card with a Signpost
My Pop & Twist Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Pop & Twist Halloween Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls. I was honoured to have been asked to present my colouring and a project this past weekend for the Paper Nest Dolls’ Not So Spooky Magical Weekend! So, I created a tag for the event, but I had so much fun that I created a card using the stamps from the retreat and based it on my tag with a twist!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a Pop & Twist card. I love how when you open the card, the stamps on the inside fold out and pop up!

My Card in Action

The front of the card was based on the tag that I presented with a few tweaks to fit the card size.

Halloween Tag
My Tag from the Paper Nest Dolls’ Not So Spooky Magical Weekend

The inside was where all the magic happened as you open the card! When I saw these cute critters, I knew I wanted to create a twist and pop card!

I used very little decorations on the inside since I wanted the card to fold as flat as possible, but I couldn’t resist some glittery bats and Halloween words.

Congrats Grad Wiper Card

A Wiper Card for a Graduate
Congrats Grad! Wiper Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Congrats Grad Wiper Card. This fun interactive card is perfect way to celebrate a special grad on his/her special day!

The Details of My Card

This card is super easy to make since I used a Wiper Card Kit by Photo Play. All the guess work for how to make a wiper card was done for me. I just had to decorate my card.

The Celebrate! Paper Pad by Simple Stories was perfect with such sentiments as “Hip Hip Hooray” and “Yay, yay, yay” and “Way to go” on it. It’s supposed to be for birthdays, but I thought all those sentiments suited a grad!

Close Up of Year on Front of Card
Close Up of Year in Broadway Lights

Once I added my paper, it was time to decorate my card. I thought it would be neat to have the year on the front in Crushed Curry like it was lite up on Broadway! To decorate the Broadway sign, I used several stickers that matched my grad theme. But the fun part is when you pull the card open, the “Congrats Grad” sentiment with a sparkly Grad cap pops up! Just like when the grads throw their caps!

A Toast for Your Birthday!

A card with a banana in glasses saying Celebrate! Go Bananas!
A Toast for Your Birthday!

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing A Toast for Your Birthday! using the Lots of Pun Paper Pumpkin Past Kit. I had so much fun playing with this Paper Pumpkin Kit! I made some alternative cards (see at end of post for photos) when it was first released in January, but I had some leftover bits and decided to make a fun fold card. The only things I added was some card stock, adhesive and a toast sentiment! Everything else is from the kit.

Video of Pop & Twist Card in Action

This card is for a 12-year-old boy whose birthday is today! Every year I create an interactive card for him. Last year I created a card with the Give a Whirl Dies and in the past years, I created a Never-Ending Card, a Slider card, a wobble card and so on. He always says that I make the best cards EVER! Got to love that!

Details of My Pop & Twist Card

For my card, I decided to create a Pop & Twist card. I love how when you open the card, the images on the inside fold out and pop up!

The front of the card is one of the designs from the kit. I just cut it to fit a portrait card. I added a couple of stamped party hats from the stamp set that is included in the kit. A mat of Granny Apple Green was added behind the focal point.

The inside is where I got creative! There are four panels and I thought that incorporating each of the die cuts (eggs, cherries, banana, and toast) that came with the kit, would work well!

Pop-Up Inside Card

First Panel

For the first panel, I used an egg theme. I love the pun “have an egg-cellent day” and couldn’t resist using “egg-cited for you” too! Just too fun! I used one of the card bases that I cut down with a Granny Apple green mat to fit my panel.

First Panel with Eggs on it

Second Panel

The next panel had the theme of cherries. So, I used the inside of one of the envelopes for the background pattern. I thought the red dots went perfectly with those sweet cherries! This is one of the things I love about the kits! The envelopes are printed both on the outside and the inside. So, once you cut them open, you can reverse the coordinating patterns to suit your design.

Third Panel

For the third panel the theme was the banana. Again, I used the inside of an envelope for the background. The speech bubbles are so fun!

Third Panel on Pop-Up Inside Card

Fourth Panel

For the last panel, the theme was the toast. I didn’t have an appropriate sentiment. So, I printed one off on my computer to suit the birthday theme. I used the inside of an envelope once again for my background piece. Aren’t the glasses on the toast fun!

Fourth Panel on Pop-Up Inside Card

I added a scattering of the Enamel stickers that came with the kits on all the panels.

Flowering Fields Birthday Wishes Card

A Card with a Windmill on it
Flowering Fields Birthday Wishes Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Flowering Fields Birthday Wishes Card using the Flowering Fields Stamp Set and the Windmill Fields Dies by Stampin’ Up!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I thought it would be fun to create a Centre-Step Card, so it looks like the windmill is popping out of the tulip fields. Of course, if you have a windmill, wouldn’t it be fun to make it interactive! So, I added one of the round brads through the blades and into the windmill base.

Tip – to keep the brad from showing from behind the windmill on the card, folded down the arms at angle.

Position of Brads on Back of Windmill

The windmill was popped up with dimensionals to allow the back of the brad to have room. 

I love the beautiful Flowering Fields DSP and used it for the grass/sky piece behind the windmill and the tulip fields! I pulled the colours from the DSP for my sentiment and for the ribbon. A couple of the sweet butterflies balanced out the ribbon on the sentiment.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Flowering Tulips Stamp Set (157672), Windmill Fields Dies (157683)

Inks: Highland Heather Classic Stampin’ Pad (147103)

Paper: Pear Pizzazz (131201), Basic White (159276), Crumb Cake (120953), Soft Suede (115318), Flowering Fields 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (157670)

My Neighbourly Birthday Wish for You

The Flintstones
My Neighbourly Birthday Wish for You

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Neighbourly Birthday Wish For You using the Prehistoric Family Limited Edition Box by Kindred Stamps! It’s my brother’s birthday today and we grew up on The Flintstones! So, I thought a fun slider card for his birthday would be right up his alley!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a full scene, but to fit all my characters, I went with a slimline card. Once I coloured my characters, I built my prehistoric card. So, much fun! There is a great video on the Kindred Stamps website on how to do this. I found that my card was a bit top heavy, and the awning kept getting caught. So, I add 3 strategical placed washers underneath the wheels. Voila! Fixed!

Of course, if you have a car, you need a road! So, I used the stencil that came with the kit, a blender brush and ink to create my road. Then, I die cut the Gray Granite with the Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle since I wanted the stitching to frame my whole scene. Once that was done, I created my mechanism using the Heffy Doodle Pull Tab Dies and hid it behind the road. The clouds DSP was also die cut with the stitched rectangle to finish the frame of my scene. Once my scene was created, I added my characters finishing my prehistoric family!

My Perfectly Wicked Interactive Card

Perfectly Wicked Sentiment
My Perfectly Wicked Interactive Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Today I am sharing My Perfectly Wicked Interactive Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the Evil Fairy.

I was honoured to have been asked to present at the Paper Nest Dolls’ Party with the Villains Virtual Weekend Retreat that was this past weekend. I had so much fun creating my cards for the event that I made an extra one that I thought I would share with you today. The other cards that I presented at the Retreat will be posted at the end of this post.

To get in the mood and for inspiration, I just had to watch the movies both the live action and the cartoon! Any excuse to watch Disney is a good excuse in my books! Lol!

Video of my Card in Action

Movie of My Perfectly Wicked Interactive Card

For this card, I coloured the Evil Fairy with my Copic Markers to match the Disney cartoon. I have been wanting to use the Give a Whirl Dies from Stampin’ Up! and thought it would be perfect for my card! It is so fun to spin that little dial and see all the fun sentiments! These sentiments… “Perfectly Wicked!” and “Bad Girls Have More Fun!” …were created in Word. I added one of the digital papers behind them to blend in with the paper that I used on my card base. Since the Evil Fairy turns into a dragon at the end of the movie, I couldn’t resist adding a bright green dragon with a dusting of Black Soot on its edges. A castle and a few stars that were brushed with the Aged Brass were the only other elements that I added to my card.
