Christmas in July

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Christmas in July Design Team Cards for Paper Nest Dolls! You get two cards for the price of one in this post! I love making cards for Christmas in July! It’s a good way for me to get a head start on all the Christmas cards that I make each year and what better way than with these cuties! Who else loves making cards for Christmas in July?

————————–

For the first card, I used the adorable Elf Sewing Teddy Digital Stamp. I couldn’t resist using a thimble, scissors and bobbin for sewing embellishments. And check out that sweet bear button! I used Stitched Rectangle Dies, a stitched felt star…even the paper has stitches on it! Do you see a theme here? Lol! I added some sparkle with the red rhinestones and White Baker’s Twine with red metallic thread.

For my next card. I used Elf Painting Train Digital Stamp. Such a cute stamp with his toy train and cars! He was a lot of fun to match my colouring of the other elf! Of course, all of Santa’s Elves have to have the same uniform! I thought the train and train cars from the All Aboard Die Set from Local King Rubber Stamp were perfect for the card! Of course, you need stars and black rhinestones to decorate the train! I also added a copper snowflake with jingle bells and the same White Baker’s Twine with red metallic thread.

Storytime Design Team Card

My Storytime! Card using Storytime by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studio
My Storytime Design Team Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Storytime Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using their Storytime Digital Stamp. This is my first card as a new Design Team Member for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios! I’m so excited to join such a talented team!

I love this sweet image with all the cute forest friends gathered around to listen to a story! The panels to the left are all the wonderful stories they are reading. Once Upon a Time…there was a ranger who confronted a dragon guarding his hoard. Once Upon a Time…there was a knight on a chivalrous quest. Or, maybe they are reading Jack and the Beanstalk as the vine travels to the clouds! This image just sparks my imagination! The sentiment is from a Kraftin Kimmie Stamp that I thought was perfect for these little forest friends! “We’ll be friends forever…the end!”

What is great about a Bendi card is that it folds flat so that you can mail it. When it is flat, and you can really see all the layers and the cute mermaids poking out between them.

My Congratulations Card

My Congratulation Card
My Congratulation Card

Today I am sharing a Congratulations Card that I created for a swap that used products from the new Annual Catalogue. This card with its sentiment would be perfect for all those recent graduates! I love the new Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set, especially the large sunflower!

Close Up of My Congratulation Card
Close Up of My Congratulation Card

For the sunflower, I used three markers, Mango Melody Light and Dark and Calypso Coral Light, for the petals. By adding a third colour, it creates more dimension and texture to what you are colouring. I used the Calypso Coral in the darkest of shadows that are indicated by the artist drawn lines. For the flower centre, I use Soft Suede Light and Dark, but for the Dark Suede, I dotted the marker to create texture that the artist has indicated with their dots. Let’s get started!

All Things Wedding Package

My Thank You Card
My Thank You Card

Today I am sharing my All Things Wedding Package that I gave to one of my Carding Ladies who just got married. She asked me for a Thank you Card Kit that she could put together. This Package used something new, the Ornate Thanks Bundle from the new 2020/21 Annual Catalogue, something old, the retired Foral Boutique Designer Series Paper, and something blue, Night of Navy card stock. As soon as I saw her dress, I knew that I wanted to use the retired Floral Boutique Suite. So, I based my design on her gorgeous wedding dress.

In addition to the Thank You Card Kit, I included a wedding card from me that used that suite and tied it with some pretty White Glitter Ribbon.

I decided to use the Parisian Beauty Bundle for this sketch challenge as a last hurrah since it is retiring. I’m very sad to see this set go, but it will be added to my stash for future projects.

Grace’s Garden Gate Card

My Grace’s Garden Gate Card

Today I am sharing this pretty Grace’s Garden Gate Card. For this card, I combined the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set and the Grace’s Garden Bundle. I thought these two sets went perfectly together! The Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper is perfect for the gate. I used my Paper Snips to cut the gate doors so that it can open to reveal the beautiful scene beyond. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to walk through a lavender field! There is a Sneak Peek of one of the new Greenery Embossing Folders that frames the scene. Let’s get started.

Life is a MerMay Party!

My Slim Line Card Using Paper Nest Dolls Mermaid Set

Life is a MerMay Party! I was asked by Paper Nest Dolls to become a permanent Design Team Member! Yahoo! I am so honoured to have been asked to join such a talented Design Team!

So, here is my first card as a Design Team Member. For this card, I wanted to create a slim line card since they are all the rage right now. This card measures 4″ x 9 1/4″ which will fit into a regular Number 10 envelope (4 1/8″ x 9 1/2″). I had so much fun colouring this cute underwater scene using most of the May Release digital images from the Mermaid Set.

Clubhouse Birthday Card

My Clubhouse Birthday Card

Thought I would share with you my Clubhouse Birthday Card. The Clubhouse Bundle is perfect to create those hard to make masculine cards, especially for that golfer in your life!

Spring Honey Bee Card

My Spring Honey Bee Card
My Spring Honey Bee Card

Welcome to the first day of Spring with my Spring Honey Bee Card. I am so ready for the nicer weather to arrive! I knew that I wanted to create a Spring vignette where you are looking through the flower frame from the Petal Labels Dies towards the beehive from the Honey Bee Bundle. By sponging the Spring like colours of Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral and Gorgeous Grape with a dauber onto the flowers, I created my Spring scene. Such bonny colours to welcome Spring! For the hive, I created dimension with two different colours of Daffodil Delight and the sponged Calypso Coral on the edges. Love the Gorgeous Grape bee as a accent! Unfortunately, the Golden Honey DSP is not available anymore, but you could use the honeycomb die from the Honey Bee Bundle instead. Let’s get started!

Supplies:

Stamps:  Honey Bee Cling Stamp Set (151527)

Inks: Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Pad (147095), Daffodil Delight Classic Stampin’ Pad (147094), Calypso Coral Classic Stampin’ Pad (147101), Gorgeous Grape Classic Stampin’ Pad (147099)

Paper: Granny Apple Green (146990), Whisper White (100730), Gorgeous Grape (146987), SAB Golden Honey DSP (retired)

Accessories: Petal Labels Dies (149635), Honey Bee Bundle (153792), Stitched So Sweetly Dies (151690), Stitched Shapes Dies (152323), Sponge Daubers (133773), Metallic Pearls (146282), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Bone Folder (102300), SNAIL Adhesive (104332), Mini Glue Dots (103683)

Measurements: 

  • Granny Apple Green: 8 ½” x 5 ½”; scored at 4 ¼”
  • Whisper White: 5 ¼” x 4”, 2 ½“ x 2” (hive) and the scrap leftover from the Petal Labels floral frame for the sentiment
  • SAB Golden Honey DSP : 3 ½” x 2 ½” 
  • Gorgeous Grape: 1 ¼“ x 2 ½” 

Instructions: 

  1. Fold the Granny Apple Green card stock in half to create the card base.
  2. Centre the Petal Labels Dies in the middle of the large piece of Whisper White and die cut out.
  3. Taking a sponge dauber, sponge Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Gorgeous Grape onto the flowers and leaves that were die cut out of the Whisper White.
  4. Ink up the hive in Daffodil Delight and then using a sponge dauber, sponge the edges with Calypso Coral. This gives a soft look to the edges. You could use the rock n’ roll technique instead, but the edge between the two inks wouldn’t be as soft.
  5. Die cut the hive out with the Detailed Bee Dies.
  6. Taking the scrap from the Petal Labels floral frame, stamp the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape. This will save you some card stock…and we are all about getting the most from our card stock!
  7. Die cut the sentiment out with the second smallest Stitched So Sweetly Die.
  8. Die cut the SAB Golden Honey DSP with the largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies.
  9. Using the Detailed Bee Dies, die cut the detailed bee from the Gorgeous Grape.
  10. Using dimensionals, center the floral frame on the Granny Apple Green card base.
  11. Centre the SAB Golden Honey DSP in the open floral frame and adhere with SNAIL.
  12. Using SNAIL Adhesive, center the hive onto the SAB Golden Honey DSP.
  13. The Gorgeous Grape bee is affixed with glue dots to the hive. Bend the wings up to give it dimension.
  14. The sentiment is affixed with SNAIL on the right side and a dimensional on the left side.
  15. Three Metallic Pearls tie in the gold from the DSP and add a bit of sparkle.
