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.

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.
