My Galaxy Part II Card 

A Valentine card with a galaxy boy and girl fighter
My Galaxy Part II Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share My Galaxy Part II Card using the Galactic Fighter and the Galactic Sidekicks Stamp Sets by Kindred Stamps!

A friend of mine asked for me to create a custom Star Wars Valentine card for her Hubby who is a huge Star Wars fan! So, I made two for her selection. I showed the platform card that she picked, but here is the other card that I made. Since she picked the other card, I gave this one to my Hubby instead.

The Details of My Card

I thought a big heart with Hans Solo in it would be a fun Valentine card or even an anniversary card! So, I die cut a heart from the Whimsy Nebula paper that had reds in it. The white scallop border is just the back of the Nebula paper, but it added a nice contrast to the Nebula.

Since it was a Valentine card, you can never have too many hearts! So, I added die cut white hearts on top of embossed pink hearts for the background! The only embellishments were resin hearts on the nebula paper surrounding Hans Solo.

My Other Cards

I also had so much fun colouring these stamps that I made two other cards using the Stampin’ Up! January Paper Pumpkin Key to my Heart. I had just made a few of the cards from the Paper Pumpkin Kit and it was sitting on my desk. So, it was easy enough to add the characters to the cards and use the sentiments from the Galactic Sidekicks Stamp Set.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here to share My Galaxy Platform Card using the Galactic Fighter and the Galactic Sidekicks Stamp Sets by Kindred Stamps!

A friend of mine asked for me to create a custom Star Wars Valentine card for her Hubby who is a huge Star Wars fan! As you might know, I have many different Star Wars stamps, but I decided to use Kindred Stamps since I just received them recently and their stamps are the right size for platform cards!

I had fun making another platform card for my brother’s birthday (I will link to it at the end of this post) that I decided to make one as an option from which my friend could choose. I also made a regular A2 card as another possibility and will post that another day.

The Details of My Card

My friend asked for Leia, Hans Solo and R2D2. So, I coloured them with my Copic markers in their traditional colours. When I showed her the stamp set, she loved the sentiment “I’ve searched the galaxy for you”.

I thought it would be fun for the platform to represent the Millennium Falcon’s bridge. So, I used the Foundry Embossing Folder to emboss the Basic Black die cut that wrapped around the card. Next, I rubbed Brushed Iron Wax to make all the details stand out. Perfect for a look of metal that had been cobbled together since the ship had been battered together so many times. Lol! I made the base Basic Gray like a metal floor and used the stitched rectangle die from the Add On to create stability for the pop-up characters.

Since this was supposed to be the Millennium Falcon’s bridge, I used a pretty Nebula paper from Whimsy Stamps for the windows behind R2D2.

The Stamp AnnieThing Galactic paper had the perfect Valentine theme with the word LOVE against a galaxy of twinkling stars. And it matched my Nebula paper!

I added a few red resin hearts to the sentiment but forgot to take another photo. So, you will just have to imagine that! Lol!

This is The Valentine Way!

My Valentine Card with Baby Yoda and hearts on it.
This is The Valentine Way!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my This is The Valentine Way! using Rebel Baby by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. I just wanted to show how versatile the Paper Nest Dolls stamps are by making a Valentine card with this cutie!

The Details of My Card

When I was out shopping the other day, I saw some Baby Yoda Valentine cards for children to hand out. I had a light bulb moment that I could create my own Valentine with Baby Rebel!

For my card, I decided that I wanted it to be a traditional Valentine card with lots of hearts and pinks/reds/whites. I love the bright colours of the Doodlebug paper! So, perfect for a Valentine card! I thought it would be fun to place a red glimmer Valentine heart in his hand to give to you! Since he is a galaxy baby, I pulled in some stars but went with glimmery red and pink to match my colour scheme. A scattering of red rhinestones adds a bit more sparkle to this fun Valentine!

I created another Baby Rebel card for my presentation at the Wizards and Rebels Weekend for Paper Nest Dolls back in August (here is a link to that card). For this card, I used a different Copic combination for my Rebel Baby.

My Mandalorian Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I was honoured to have been asked to present this card and my colouring for it at the Rebels and Wizards Online Event for Paper Nest Dolls that was this past weekend. My Mandalorian Card is using Rebel Hero and the new release Rebel Baby by Paper Nest Dolls and the Magic Iris Dies by Lawn Fawn. I have included a PDF with step by step instructions on how to build the Magic Iris at the end of this post.

I just love Baby Yoda in the Mandalorian TV series. He is soooo cute! I even have a Baby Yoda stuffy that gets into all kinds of mischief. Lol! So, when I saw the new Rebel Baby digital stamp, I just had to make a card with him! My card was inspired by the last episode of season two where Luke comes to rescue Baby Yoda and his friends. I coloured Luke in dark clothes with a green light saver (or life saver as my Baby Yoda calls it! Lol!) as he appeared in this episode. The Rebel Baby is hidden behind the “door” and is revealed by the Magic Iris mechanism when the Jedi Hero opens it.

Don’t you just love the digital paper that I used with the Mandalorian helmets and the original Star Wars logo! They were perfect for my card and were free from HaleGrafix. I sponged some Black Soot to the edges of it to give my card a gritty feel. I couple of star embellishments was all this card needed to finish it off.
