Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Orchid Beauty Birthday Wishes as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautifulAlanna. Don’t you just love that serene look she has!
The Details of My Card
For my card, I decided to use some pretty papers with pastel colours from The Paper Boutique. So, I coloured with my Copic markers Alanna to match them. That blue is so pretty that I had to give her eyeshadow to match her dress!
I went with several die cuts like the leafy vine, the delicate pink frame, and the butterflies to decorate my card. The sentiment is from a matching paper pad and went perfectly with my colours. A scattering of gems and a gem in the centre of each butterfly added some sparkle. A finishing touch was Wink of Stella on the orchids. Such a beautiful image!

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 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!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Grease Lightning Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Greaser Owen and Decade Collection Poodle Skirt Emma. There are ten dolls in the Decade Collection that come in both rubber and digital stamps. You can find all the digital versions here.
Decade Doll Collection by Paper Nest Dolls
The Details of My Card
When I saw these two stamps, I knew that I had to create a card with them both on it! I had a lot of fun colouring them with my Copic markers! I even added Glossy Accents to the milkshake glass and Emma’s glasses.
For my card, I decided to create a 50s diner vibe using the most perfect paper with milk shakes, records, and black/white tiles that I found on Amazon.
I heat embossed with black embossing powder the record from the For the Record Stamp Set twice. Once on gray card stock and once on red card stock. Then, using several circle dies, I die cut the pieces out. I couldn’t resist using the red cardstock for the heart part in the centre of the record! And the grooves really show up well with the black embossing on the gray card stock. Don’t you love the sentiments, especially the puny one, that come with the stamp set!
Close Up of Card
Isn’t the car die so fun! I thought it would suit my 50’s vibe as an homage to Grease Lightning from the movie Grease. The door even opens. So, I had Owen’s leg halfway in almost like he was getting out of the card.
A red rhinestone and several black dot embellishments tie into my colour scheme.
Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! Father’s Day is just a few weeks away and I thought I would share with you my You’re Flippin’ Awesome Card using the new He’s The Man Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! This suite is perfect for car lovers, grilling enthusiasts, camping buffs, and more! My Father-in-law loves to BBQ and I though this suite would make a perfect Father’s Day card for him!
The Details of My Card
This card is a fast and easy card to make! No stamping involved on the front, but I did stamp the inside with “Wishing You a Happy Father’s Day” using the He’s All That Stamp Set that comes in the Collection.
The He’s The Man Designer Series Paper comes with 2 die cut sheets and I used one of the die cuts for my sentiment. Easy-peasy! To give it more of a focal point, I added a piece of DSP and die cut it out using the He’s All That Dies. I turned it so that it flanks the sentiment on either side. I love the “framed” look that the die gives the die cut piece. Gave it that little extra detail!
The Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots were a perfect accompaniment to my manly card! I placed one on either side of the sentiment and one above it to the left. Tip: you always want odd numbers since they are pleasing to the eye.
The final thing I added to my focal point was some looped Linen Thread behind everything. How manly is that thread!
For the DSP, I made it smaller than usual since I wanted the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder to show up more. I went with a Cajun Craze bricked piece since it matched my DSP and what is more appropriate than orange bricks!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Flowers For You Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using theDragon Bouquet and Sentiment Bundle. This stamp is so versatile and can be used for so many occasions! It includes 6 images and comes in PNG or JPG:
Dragon Bouquet
Thinking Of You Sentiment
Have A Beautiful Day
Hello Friend
Just Because
Flowers For You Sentiment
The Details of My Card
For my card, I decided on the MME paper since I love the rustic wood texture and the collage on the paper! There is a sentiment on it under his feet, “start every day with a smile”. I thought this was such a sweet sentiment and would bring a smile to the recipient
From there, I picked out my Copic marker colours from the paper to colour my cute dragon and the bouquet. I also coloured some extra flowers that you get in the bundle in the colours I used for my bouquet. The sentiment from the bundle was die cut into a banner and layered with the coloured flowers and another banner below.
For embellishments, I used brass butterflies, clear epoxy dew drops and Clear Wink of Stella on the flowers.
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share my Good Grief! It’s Your Birthday Card using The Great Box Limited Edition Box by Kindred Stamps! It’s my brother’s birthday today. I remember us watching the antics that the Charlie Brown Gang got up to in the cartoons.
The Details of My Card
For my card, I decided to create a scene, but to fit all my characters, I went with a fun pop out card.
Top View of Card Showing Folds
My inspiration was where they all go on stage and start dancing! I always loved that part! So, I used some wood Designer Series Paper to create the floor to my stage.
Linus, Sally, Schroder and Lucy on Stage
Once I coloured with my Copic markers my characters, I built my stage. The card folds out like a book, so you see more characters as it unfolds until you have it fully open.
Marcie, Peppermint Patty, Woodstock and Snoopy on Stage
For most of my card I used The Great Box Limited Edition Box. Don’t you love the doghouse with Snoopy and Woodstock dancing around the sentiment! The Charlie Brown chevron pattern paper was perfect for the backdrop of my card! Almost like curtains to the stage.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing A Cup of Thanks Card using the Cup of Tea Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I loved the idea of stacking the teacups in different colours!
Details of My Card
For my card, I wanted to highlight the new 2022-24 In Colors and what better way than with the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper that incorporates all the new colors in its pretty designs! I also used the In Color 2022–2024 Designer Series Paper for two of my teacups. Tip: Since the DSP is double-sided, I turned the middle teacup to face the opposite way. For the bottom teacup, I love the combination of Parakeet Party and Starry Sky together. So, I used the stackable die cuts to create my teacup. To highlight my teacups, I used a stitched scallop rectangle in Basic White.
I’m so happy that Stampin’ Up! has released new stitched circle/square dies and I couldn’t rest using one of the circles for my Starry Sky sentiment! Don’t you just love the Fun Flowers Resin Shapes and they come in Parakeet Party as one of the colours!
I thought placing the Tea Boutique 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper on an angle behind the focal point was a fun idea. The Stitched Greenery Die with its tone-on-tone created a subtle background that doesn’t distract from the focal point, but still adds interest.
I added a stamped die cut lemon wedge and a Sweet Sorbet Glimmer heart to continue my caring thank you theme.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I was so excited to present My Welcome Spring! Card at the Paper Nest Dolls Spring Coloring Retreat (Online) recently using Lulu with Daffodil!
The Details of My Card
For my card, I thought a fun fold card would be something different than a regular card. So, I created a side easel card base! I love how it folds up to display part of the card front!
We had a lot of fun colouring Lulu with our Copic markers at the Retreat. The attendees learned how to add texture to the daffodil to make it pop!
The beautiful papers from the Paper Boutique were perfect for the theme since they had daffodil and tulips on them!
I couldn’t resist using the Daffodil Dies from Stampin’ Up! in the background to set off Lulu!

If you haven’t been to a Paper Nest Dolls Retreat, you are missing out! You learn so much from other designers (even I learn things!) and there is always fun and games going on, not to mention the swag bags!
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing A Groovy Road Trip Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Flower Power Ellie. There are ten dolls in the Decade Collection that come in both rubber and digital stamps. You can find all the digital versions here.
Decade Doll Collection by Paper Nest Dolls
The Details of My Card
For my card, I coloured Ellie with my Copic markers to match my Seventies paper and her retro bus! This paper was perfect for my card with the musical revolution icons since Ellie has her dancing boots on and is off to Woodstock!
Of course, if Ellie is having a road trip, she needs a retro bus. This Retro Bus Kit comes with dies to build a mini booklet in the shape of a retro bus, but I decided to use it for my card. So, I just trimmed the three ring holes off the back piece. I had a ton of fun decorating my bus with the matching paper, flowers, peace symbol, windshield wipers, Road Trip die and so on. I even used a piece of a window sheet for the windows. For the metal parts, I brushed on some iron wax to give them a metal look.
The finishing touches were some wooden musical notes to match my theme and a couple of rhinestone coloured to match my card.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My Happy Mother’s Day Card using the Flowering Rain Boots Bundle by Stampin’ Up!
The Details of My Card
For my card, I thought the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and the Flowering Rain Boots Bundle would be a perfect match! And I couldn’t resist using the tulip border die that comes in the Flowering Tulips Bundle!
I pulled my colour scheme of Highland Heather, Fresh Freesia and Evening Evergreen from the DSP. I love that the coordinating dies cut out the stamped pieces! By adding a piece of vellum under the boots, a focal point was created, but still allowed the die cut tulip border to show through. The sentiment was heat embossed with white on Highland Heather and then die cut with one of the All Dressed Up Dies. A scattering of the sweet Brass Butterflies finished the card off nicely.
Supplies:
Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Flowering Rain Boots Bundle (157691), Flowering Tulips Bundle (157678), All Dressed Up Dies (151665), Stitched Rectangles Dies (151820)

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Give Peace a Chance Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the new release Decade Collection Hippie Ellie. With everything going on in the world right now, I thought this was a very appropriate card for the times!
The Details of My Card
I had a lot of fun colouring Hippie Ellie with my Copic markers! Don’t you just love her jeans with the patches and her suede fringe vest! She is such a groovy hipster!
For my card, I found this perfect paper that had a Seventies theme! I loved it so much that I wanted to use a whole sheet for my card front! So, I used a fun fold called a Z-Fold Card for the card base, but I reversed it into a backwards Z. I wanted the love bug to show on the front with Ellie when the card is closed. This type of card folds up to a regular A2 card but allows for lots of room to decorate! It also is neat how you open it, and the paper continually keeps going!
Full Card Laid Flat
Since the paper was so detailed, I only used a few dies to dress it up such as the Love, Peace, daisies, and peace sign. They were from the Retro Bus by Elizabeth Craft Designs. I bought this set planning to use them for the Decade Dolls and they were perfect for Hippie Ellie! A couple of sequins and glimmery dots for the flower centres was all the embellishments this card needed.

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.
Close Up of Card Front
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 of Pop-Up Inside of Card
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.
Second Panel on Pop-Up Inside Card
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.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Happy Mother’s Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Bella With Rose.
The Details of My Card
For my card, I thought Bella With Rose would make a perfect Mother’s Day Card! She is such a cutie and Mother’s Day is only a few weeks away!
I decided to go with soft pastel colours to match the beautiful Spring papers from The Paper Boutique. The Stitched with Love Paper Pad matched this colour scheme well and it had purple roses that I used for inspiration to colour my rose.
To me nothing says Mother’s Day like a beautiful doily and this one had roses on it. Perfect for my rose theme and to center my focal point!
I have been wanting to use the beautiful rose die from Paper Roses for a while and thought this was ideal for my card!
A scattering of pink pearls and butterflies to match my paper completed my card.

Every year I am asked to create a Stampin’ Up! In Color bookmark file. So, I am sharing my 2022-24 In Color Bookmarks using my Stampin’ Up! 2022-24 In Color Bookmark file that I created for this purpose. When you download the PDF files print them with the fit to page setting in the Adobe Acrobat on Basic White. All files are at the end of this post including a German and French version, as well as the files for the 2021-2023 In Colors from last year.
Inks and Cardstock Bookmark
For this bookmark, I kept it simple with just ink and cardstock. First, I stamped one of the leaves from the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set and then I used a die cut flower from the Penned Flower Dies.
Inks and Cardstock Bookmark
2022-2024 In Color Stampin’ Write Bookmark
For my next bookmark, I stamped in Memento Ink the cluster of flowers from the Honeybee Home Stamp Set and coloured them in with the Stampin’ Write Markers. Next, I stamped the leaf from Uniquely Artistic Stamp Set. Finally, I die cut the heart with the Teacup Dies.
2022-24 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers Bookmark
Tassel Bookmark
For my next bookmark, I thought it would be fun to create a tassel with the 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine. I added 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots to the corresponding colours.
Tassel Bookmark
Glimmer Bookmark
For this bookmark, I wanted the gorgeous 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper to be front and centre. A simple, but wow bookmark!

Easy Card Stock Bookmarks

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Easter Basket using Bunny Emma by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration. Since Easter is this weekend, I thought an Easter basket would be fun with this cutie!
The Details of My Basket
For my basket, I picked out this pretty paper in soft Easter colours of pinks and purples. From that I pulled my Copic colour palette to colour Bunny Emma. The basket is really a purse die, but by using one handle instead of two, it transforms into a basket! I stamped the sentiment onto the cute, stitched pocket and added a die cut button from the paper.
Of course, I just had to decorate the back of the basket with another pocket and button. The pink is from the other side of the pretty floral paper. So, it all goes together beautifully. The finishing touch are a few matching ribbons to balance out Bunny Emma.
Back View of My Easter Basket
All that is left is to fill your basket with Easter grass and chocolates!
