Slimline Card - Stamp With Laurie

My Hello Fall Card

A Fall card with a pumpkin, witches' hat and cat on it — My Hello Fall Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Hello Fall Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Sweet Autumn Kitty. This stamp is the quintessential Fall stamp with the pumpkin, fall leaves, acorns, a witch hat, and cat!

The Details of My Card

For my mini slimline card, I used this beautiful paper by P13 called The Four Seasons – Autumn and decided to colour the stamp to match. I couldn’t resist giving the leaves a fall colour using several Copic markers to get the variations in their colour. I have discovered that I love colouring pumpkins and getting such rich colour depth in them! The hat was coloured in a blue/violet tone to match some of the smaller berries on the paper and to give it an unexpected pop of colour. I went with a black cat since all witches should have a black cat! Lol!

Since the paper had a rustic feel to it, I blended some Walnut Stain to all the edges of the papers including the stamped piece. To add to the rustic charm, I added a frayed natural ribbon beneath my focal point. The sentiment is from an ephemera tag pack and summed up my theme perfectly! The metal leaf embellishment tied with linen thread, as well as the pumpkin chipboard, added to the Fall theme.

To further tie in my colour scheme, I coloured some rhinestones with my Copic markers and added them to opposite corners.

My Doll Detectives’ Slimline Box Card

August 16, 2022 4 Comments

A card with a dog and 4 teenagers — My Doll Detectives’ Slimline Box Card using Doll Detectives by Paper Nest Dolls

Zoinks! Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Doll Detectives’ Slimline Box Card using Doll Detectives by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. This bundle comes with 6 digital stamps including 2 boys, 2 girls, a dog, and a van.

The Details of My Card

I had so much fun colouring these cuties with my Copic markers that I made another card with them, but a slimline box card instead! I will add a link to the other card I made at the end of this post.

For my card, I thought a torture scene would be perfect for them using Enchanted Kingdom and Enchanted Forest Slimline Paper by Whimsy Stamps. This paper makes creating scenes so easy because it’s so detailed. Since the paper is so amazing, I decided to use the whole sheet, even though my card would be larger than a usual slimline.

To create my scene, I decided to a box card would be fun allowing for 3 different layers on the front and another one for the back of the card. For each layer, I sponged a stencil to create the cobbled floor and road.

Side View of Box Card Showing Sentiments

For my sentiments, I thought speech bubbles with their iconic sayings would be such fun! So, I created them in Microsoft Word and used my Brother Scan & Cut to cut them out. For Jinkies and Jeepers, I wanted them to hover above the girls’ heads. Hence, I used a thin strip of window sheet for each and glued them to the layer behind them. I will include a link to a PDF of the sentiments that I created that you could download at the end.

The only embellishment that I added was the cute magnifying glass beside the main sentiment. Tip: use Glossy Accents to glue it to the card. I found it worked the best.

From the Herd Birthday Card

Card with farmers horse, cow and pig on it — From the Herd Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my From the Herd Birthday Card using Down on the Farm by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. This bundle comes with 15 digital stamps including 5 dolls, horse, cow, pig, ewe, chicken coop, tractor, hay, corn, sunflowers and so many more.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a slimline card to fit my characters. So, I used my new Picket Fences Diecutting System with the circle dies since one was a fence and the other was grass. Perfect for my farm card! I die cut the fence out of some paper that looked like wood. I added sky paper behind the cow and horse but added a farmer’s field paper behind the girl and pig. To add to my farm theme, I use some wooden boards paper to create my vignettes of the scenes. I wanted the girl and pig to stand out. So, I placed them in front of everything on the die cut grass that has the stamped sentiment. Don’t you just love the sentiment, “Happy Birthday from the Herd. Lol!

My Neighbourly Birthday Wish for You

January 28, 2022 2 Comments

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 Groovy Slimline Birthday Card

January 11, 2022 6 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Groovy Slimline Birthday Card using Doll Detectives by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. This bundle comes with 6 digital stamps including 2 boys, 2 girls, a dog, and a van.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided that I would create a CAS (clean and simple) slimline card to fit all my cute characters. So, I layered my PNG stamps in Word to create my scene and then coloured them with my Copic markers.

I thought it would be fun to add some flowers to the sky to add interest. So, I took my digital van and blew up only the flowers, coloured them and fussy cut them out. You have to love being able to do that with digital stamps! Once they were cut out, I outlined them in a black multiliner to cover up any areas where my fussy cutting wasn’t perfect. It also allowed them to pop from the page.

For my sentiment, I decided to cut it up to fit on the side of the van like a banner of sorts with another flower and a sequin. The only die I used was the stitched one to cut out my scene. My finishing touch was a couple of other sequins.

My Merry Penguins Card

My Design Team card with 3 Penguins on it. — My Merry Penguins Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Christmas is only a month away and I’m still working on my Christmas cards. I am sharing My Merry Penguins Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stamp called Penguin Holiday Set.

For this super-fast card, I decided I wanted a winter scene for these cuties. And what better way than a slimline card to fit all the penguins on it. So, I pulled out my Frozen Whimsy Stamps Paper Pack! These cute penguins are such a fast colour with my Copic Markers! All I needed to finish off my card were a few snowflakes die cut from some glimmer paper and my sentiment. Easy-peasy!

Birthday Slimline Shaker Card

October 26, 2021 2 Comments

My Design Team Card — Birthday Slimline Shaker Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Today I am sharing My Birthday Slimline Shaker Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the Ragdoll Sally. Every year, my Hubby and I watch Nightmare Before Christmas for Halloween. It’s also my Hubby’s birthday on Thursday and I thought a birthday card with Ragdoll Sally would be perfect for him.

I had a lot of fun colouring this cutie with my Copic Markers! In fact, I coloured her skin in three different tones. So, I created a poll in The Paper Nest Dolls Inspiration Facebook Group on which skin tone was the most popular. It turned out that the green skin tone was the winner. So, I used her for my card.

Green, purple and natural skin tones — Skin Tones of Ragdoll Sally by Paper Nest Dolls

Of course, I also coloured the others and created Halloween treat boxes with them which I plan to share later this week.

My Card Details

For my card, I decided to create not only a slimline card, but a shaker card with glow in the dark moons! So fun! I know my Hubby will get a kick out of it! I found this cool graphic on Etsy for Nightmare Before Christmas. So, I used my Silhouette Cameo to tweak it to fit my shape and then die cut it out. The moon paper was 6” x 6”, but since I only needed it for the top half of my card, I trimmed it down to fit.

The Happy Birthday sentiment was printed out on my computer using Word and the Viner Hand ITC font. I created a collage of different items around the sentiment including the glittery spider web and spider trinket. Don’t you love the pop of green that the mesh created at the bottom of the card to mirror her skin and the Lavinia moon paper!

My Mythical Birthday Card

July 11, 2021 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Mythical Birthday Card using the Mythical Cthulu Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps! This card was delivered to a little boy whose birthday is today. He loves anything mythical and especially Cthulhu which is a fictional cosmic entity created by writer H. P. Lovecraft.

For my card, I decided that a slimline slider card would be so cool with Cthulhu rising from the watery depths of the ruined city of R’lyeh (some Cthulhu Mythos for you)! I always create interactive cards for the little boy’s and his brother’s birthdays and get the best reactions from them! His reaction to this card was “Laurie’s cards are always good, but this is the best card ever!”. This just made my day!

Cthulhu Rising From R'lyeh — Cthulhu Rising From R’lyeh

I only used four Copic markers to colour Cthulhu. To make the Scary Town Die fit my slimline shape, I cut it in two. I then added some stitched hills to create my multi-level town. Since this was supposed to be at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, I added some sand with Crumb Cake Card Stock and use the embossing folder to give it texture. What better place to stamp the sentiment that came with the stamp set: “Happy Birthday to Cthu!”.

I had debated about using my Distress Inks to create my water background, but I found this DSP that was perfect for my scene. It even had fish!

To make my slider mechanism work, I used a ton of dimensionals, especially the Foam Adhesive Strips by Stampin’ Up! I even created a video with the slider card in action.

As You Wish Card

June 7, 2021 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my As You Wish Card using the Twoo Luv Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps! Princess Bride is one of my favourite movies ever! So, when I saw Kindred Stamps has this stamp set, I couldn’t resist buying it!

This is another super-fast card to make since the stamps colour up so quickly and the background paper is from the Enchanted Forest Paper Pack by Whimsy Stamps. I used my Copic markers to colour my characters to match the characters in the movie. I thought this slimline paper was perfect to represent the ‘Fire Swamp’ in the movie where Westley and Buttercup meet the R.O.U.S.’s (Rodents of Unusual Size)! The only other thing that needed to be added was the sentiment which I embossed in white on black cardstock. Easy-peasy!

My Witcher Birthday Card

A Birthday Card — My Witcher Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Witcher Birthday Card! Today is my big brother’s birthday and I know that The Witcher TV Series is right up his alley. So, I combined all 4 characters from the Monster Hunter Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps onto my mini slimline card.

I coloured the whole Monster gang with my Copic markers for a colouring challenge a while ago. I used the Bard for another card (I will link it at the end of the post). So, I had to recolour him. I love Kindred Stamps! They are such a fast colour!

For my card, I created a scene using only a few things. I love the Lavinia SceneScapes Paper! They have such amazing eerie scenes that can be used for square 6” x 6” card or cut down to fit my mini slimline card. I used the Stitched Hillside dies to create the ground. Finally, I used the Word Bubble dies to finish my scene.

I even decorated the inside of my card with a coin from the stamp set that I coloured with my Copic markers and a strip of the leftover paper. If you watched the Witcher, you know that he swears…a lot. So, I included a couple of more colourful sentiments inside my card that I knew my brother would recognize.
