My Year of Wonder Card 

My Year of Wonder Card - a New years card with a wintery scene
My Year of Wonder Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Year of Wonder Card using the Light & Wonder Bundle from the Lights of Aurora Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! I loved this suite and decided to create a New Years card for friends. So far, I have made three cards using this Suite including this one. At the end of this post, I have included the other two cards with further details about them. This beautiful Suite is on the Last Chance List! So, get it while you can!

The Details of My Year of Wonder Card

For my card, I decided to create a mini slimline wintery scene card. I used both the large and small tree dies to frame my scene with that gorgeous DSP. I was inspired by a card that Stampin’ Up! had in their catty to use DSP for the snow. It gives it a snowy blue glow that you see sometimes in the winter.

Next, I embossed the sentiments in white on the Basic Black piece and die cut it with the “hilly” die. I made this piece the same width as my card front so that it fit the sentiment leaving enough space on either side of it without overcrowding it.

All this was adhered to a Blackberry Bliss mat with a Night of Navy card base.

As a finishing touch, I placed a scattering of the Frosted Iridescent Dots on my card.

Twirly-Whirly Birthday Card

My Design Team 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:

My Puppy Love Card

My Puppy Love Design Team Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Puppy Love Card as my first official Design Team Card for Conie Fong Art & Design. I am so excited that I have been asked to become a permanent Design Team Member! Yippee!

For my card, I used the sweet Puppy Cuddles and coloured with my Copic markers her hair colour to match her puppy’s fur. You know what they say…you look like your dog. Lol! 

Since it is still snowy here is Canada, I thought I would create one last winter card as a mini slim line card. I have been having so much fun with slim line cards and thought it would be fun to create my first mini card for her! The birch trees were the perfect size for my slim line card with a couple of snow banks to fill in the space at the bottom. I decided that the Friend die would be neat die cut from the snow bank. I added the white embossed “Best” on Early Espresso to match the colour of her dog and to complete my Best Friend sentiment since all dogs are Man’s Best Friend!
