Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Happy Valentine’s Day! I am sharing My Puppy Valentine Card using Puppy Love Stamp Set by Kindred Stamps that I used for my Hubby’s Valentine card! We love Disney and the Lady and the Tramp movie is a favourite of ours! So, when I saw this stamp set, I knew I would use it for his card.
The Details of My Puppy Valentine Card
For my card, I decided to make a mini slimline card to match my Falling Hearts Etched Metal Die by Photo Play. So, I used the Flirty Flamingo hearts paper from the Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up! with this die. This DSP is free during Sale-a-Bration 2024 and is perfect for those Valentine cards with its hearts and gold accents! I also used a solid Real Red plaid piece from this DSP as a base peeking through the hearts and extended it beyond the die cut Falling Hearts to create a mat.
Since I had the Candy Hearts Dies out already out from my other cards, I decided to use them again! Two hearts were clustered around the sentiment from Conie Fong Art & Design and the other two hearts with a heart doily above the puppies.
The only embellishments that I added were some Red Rhinestones scattered to add sparkle.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Will You Be My Gnomie? as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the sweet Gnome Couple. You can also draw the Boy Gnome using the video on the Draw with Conie YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/HZtUnru5-VM?si=nE7dFjqjFEtH9im7.

For my card, I thought I would create a fun Valentine Shaker card using these cuties! So, I coloured them with my Copic markers in Valentine colours and cut them out with my Brother Scan & Cut.
The Radiant Heart Backdrop Die was perfect for my shaker part, but I need to make the card larger to fit my gnomes and the shaker. So, I made my card 6” x 6”and placed the shaker element at the top with my gnomes on either side of it.
For the shaker, I used the Stampin’ Up! Foam Adhesive Strips around the heart and again around the perimeter of the rectangle to create two shaker parts. This allowed the sequins to look like they are loose throughout but kept a nice selection visible in the heart at all times. The “Love” heart shaker elements and sequins were perfect colours to match my colour scheme. Some die cut candy hearts and a heart garland decorated my shaker element.
The sentiment was from Sassy’s Cards & Gifts. She gives out downloadable sentiments each month for free and this one was from the recent video! I was visiting my friend while putting this card together and she let me try out her Mini Minc Machine to red foil the sentiment. Love the shine! I need one of these! Lol!
To add sparkle, I used a scattering of red rhinestones and Star Dust Stickles on gnomes’ pompoms, the boy’s heart, and the girl’s flower.
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Kitty Love Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the New Release Kitty Love with the Snow Globe Bundle!
The Details of My Kitty Love Card
For my card, I decided to combine the Snow Globe Bundle with the Kitty Love stamp since the kitty fits so perfectly in the snow globe! I used Microsoft Word to size and insert the kitty into the globe. In addition, I used Word to add Happy Valentine’s Day to the plaque on the base.
I haven’t coloured a snow globe before and wanted to challenge myself. So, I used the 3.0 Mini Class Bundle from Kit and Clowder as a reference and used my Copic markers to colour the image. It was a lot of fun getting the shine on the glass! Once it was coloured, I added Glossy Accents to the plaque on the globe base and Stickles to all the hearts.
I decided to use the French Kiss Doodlebug Paper since it had hearts, envelopes, and happy mail on it. Perfect for my card! To ground the snow globe, I used a solid piece of red paper that was already embossed with hearts to add to my Valentine theme.
Next, I added some die cut hearts in opposite corners for balance. A die cut glassine envelope with die cut hearts inside and an adhesive-backed heart to seal it was added to mirror the letters in the mailbox.
For embellishments, I used a piece of white lace trim and white resin hearts.

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing Our Steampunk Journey Card using the Stamperia Vagabond Series of paper and die cuts to create my anniversary card for my Hubby.
The Details of Our Steampunk Journey Card
My Hubby is always encouraging me to do what I love and explore mixed media more since I am still a novice. So, I decided to create a fun mixed media front with a steampunk feel for his anniversary card. He loves anything steampunk and I bought the Stamperia papers and all the bits in anticipation of making a card for him.
Angled View of Folds of the Card
For my card, I only used papers and die cuts…no stamping or colouring for me which is a rarity for me! Lol! But, when I saw the Stamperia papers, I knew that I wanted to create a 3-step fun fold card that would keep on going as my hubby opened it…almost like a mini album. I even decorated the back of it and made a custom envelope with the papers.
Top View of Card
Fun with Mixed Media
For my mixed media, I sponged black gesso on my chipboards and then rubbed with my fingertips the Brushed Iron and Firebird waxes over the “Love” piece to help differentiate it from the other chipboard pieces. Next, I added some Gilding Flakes to give it some shimmer and brushed more wax where needed to give it a gritty feel. More gears that were rubbed with the Brushed Iron wax were adhered with glossy accents on top of the “Love” piece for dimension.
Mixed Media
Once that was done, I added a gear frame tag behind the decorated chipboard that consisted of a snippet of paper with a small clock. The gears on this tag were lightly rubbed with the Brushed Iron wax as well. I added a few clear die cuts from Stamperia to represent my theme of a marriage being a journey, albeit a steampunk one! Lol!
Close Up of Mixed Media Focal Point
A monocle with an attached ball bead chain was glued in place with glossy accents. A scattering of red rhinestones added some sparkle and brightness to the front.
Inside of Card – Part 1
For my backdrop of my focal point, I decided to use a clock since it is the epitome of steampunk! I fussy cut two clocks out from the papers…one for the front and one for the back of the circle since you will see it when the card is opened. I needed a 5 ½” circle to mount these clocks and since I didn’t have a die that big, I pulled out my retired circle cutter from Stampin’ Up! It was what they used before they had dies!
Inside of Card – Part 2
Inside Our Steampunk Journey Card
For the inside of my card, I used several steampunk dies cuts and brushed the Brushed Iron wax on them to bring out the details. I even brushed it on the black edges of all the folds and card base. Of course, I used lots of die cut gears again with a stylized steampunk key, watch and wings! A few clear die cuts from Stamperia were added inside to continue my theme of a journey.
Full Inside of Card Laid Flat
Since the back was so long, I used two different papers and pieced them together to create a continual scene of a pilot in flight on one side and flight gear on the other.

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!
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Under Your Spell Card using Wiz by Mo’s Digital Pencil.
This past week was Valentine’s Day, and I made this card to give my Hubby. He loves anything fantasy and I thought the Wiz would be a fun card to make for him!
The Details of My Card
For my card, I coloured the Wiz with my Copic markers in magical shades of purples and blues with bright yellow accents. I used my Copic refills in B39 and V17 with 99 % Isopropyl Alcohol to create the mystical auras around him. You can use any colours for this effect, but I picked two colours that draw on the colour scheme that I used on the image.
Background Technique
To create this technique, I worked in small sections to keep the ink wet while I played. I dripped a few drops of each refill making sure that the drops were far enough away from the image since they bled. I also overlapped them which helped with the blending and coverage.
While the ink was wet, I dipped the q-tip into the alcohol and dotted and dabbed through the inks. As I dabbed, I pulled the ink toward the image. The dotting created lighter splotches where the ink was repelled. I re-dipped the q-tip regularly into the rubbing alcohol to push the ink around and dotted toward the Wiz and ground. This section was much more diluted to achieve an effect that the ink was blended out to white. I also added reinker to a glass mat and dipped the wet q-tip into it add more ink in the diluted area.
Background Technique Using Copic Reinkers
Once I was happy with the background, I use Y02/Y000 to push the darker background inks back from my image to create a yellow glow that softens the darker edges.
I added some die cut stars in gold glimmer paper swirling around the top sentiment. A scattering of other glimmer stars helped with the mystical theme.
Glossy accents were added to the mystical crystal ball. I used a gelly roll pen on the mystical lightening arcing from the crystal ball. Clear Wink of Stella was added to the stars on his shirt, the gold band on his hat and the star hanging from his hat.
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Bee’s Knees Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the super cute Bee With Heart Bundle.
This Bundle includes 5 images:
Title 1: Bee With Heart – Boy (PNG)
Title 2: Bee With Heart – Girl (PNG)
Title 3: Flower Accessory for Bee (PNG)
Title 4: For My Sweet Friend Sentiment (PNG)
Title 5: Sending Hugs Sentiment (PNG)
The Details of My Card
These bees are such a fast colour with my Copic markers and perfect for a super cute Valentine card, but they could also be used for an anniversary, a wedding, even a birthday!
I decided to use the quilt top die and the individual hexagons that you can place where you want to create a fun shaker card. The Graphic 45 paper with the honeycomb pattern, bees and flowers made it feel like you are glimpsing into a busy hive. I used several different shaker elements, especially hearts, to tie in my Valentine theme.
Close Up of Boy Bee
The Bundle comes with sentiments, but I wanted to heat emboss with white on black card stock. I love the contrast of white on black especially for my card! The stamp comes with several great bee sentiments that can be used for all occasions, but I used one appropriate for a Valentine card.
I printed the Flower Accessory several times and coloured them with my Copic markers. To add depth to the flowers, I used an Embossing Stylus Tool and rolled it around the flowers on the Stampin’ Pierce Mat. This made the edges curl up to create dimension. The only embellishment I used was a bumblebee trinket. To add sparkle, I used Clear Wink of Stella on their wings and Stickles on the hearts that they carry.
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Love Potion No. 9 Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Love Potion Avery from theLove Potion Set. This Set includes 3 stamps which are Love Potion Amara, Love Potion Avery, and the Love Potion.
The Details of My Card
For my card, I decided to create a fun faux shaker card. I have been wanting to make one for a while and thought this would a perfect card for it! My card is super easy and fast to make!
For those of you who don’t know what a faux shaker card is, I used a clear envelope over my project. I then added my shaker bits to the bag and sealed it. Easy peasy!
I love the Valentine Doodlebug paper that I used for the backdrop of my card. The sentiment piece was also from the Doodlebug paper pad, and I just framed it with my colour scheme.
Since I added sequins and hearts as my shaker pieces, I decided to go simple with the other embellishments. I added layered die cut hearts to one corner of the sentiment with a heart gem on top.
The Love Potion Set comes with the Love Potion by itself. So, I coloured it like the one Avery is holding and added it to another corner of the sentiment.
The finishing touch was Glossy Accents to her glasses and beaker and Stickles to the hearts in the potions.

Sentiment 2: Happy Valentine’s Day
Sentiment 3: I Love You
The Details of My Card
Conie Fong makes the cutest bears and these two are perfect for a Valentine, an anniversary, and even a birthday! For my card, I decided to create a mini slimline Valentine card since it is only a few weeks away.
I had fun colouring them with my Copic markers. Don’t you just love the blue jeans that they are wearing! I went with red/pink for her top and the box of chocolates since they are the quintessential colours for Valentine’s Day! I also made his shirt white to match her polka dots.
Have to love being able to use scraps! I had some scraps of the Doodlebug paper leftover from another project which were perfect for a mini slimline card!
The die cut rectangle from the Swiss Collection created a wonderful back drop for these cuties since the frame looked like hearts. I love the versatility of these dies that can layer depending on the size of your card! I went with the two middle rectangle dies since they fitted the slimline shape perfectly!
For the die cut heart, I went with white to add some contrast from the background and to create a focal point for my sentiment. A scattering of red rhinestones around the sentiment added a bit of sparkle.
The finishing touches were Clear Wink of Stella on Bella’s hair bow, her polka dots on her shirt and the bow on the box of chocolates.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with My Clockwork Anniversary Card using the beautiful Steampunk Time digital stamp By Krista Smith Stamps for my 28th wedding anniversary card for my Hubby.
My hubby loves anything steampunk and I found this awesome digital stamp by Krista Smith Stamps that I thought would make a beautiful card for him!
The Details of My Card
For my card, I decided to colour her with my Copic markers in muted tones to match my paper and my grungy steampunk theme. I haven’t used this colour scheme before but was very happy with how it turned out! I went with black hair with blue underpainting to give her a hip edge. Another first for me to colour like this!
Underpainting B24 to Hair
Once I finished colouring her, I blended some ink along the edges of the paper to give it a distressed look. I also blended ink along the edges of the design paper and sentiment to make them more worn. The paper from Stamperia was perfect for my steampunk theme since it had that industrial look to it.
Of course, I had to add the pocket watch die since she is holding a pocket watch. I rubbed some Brushed Iron Wax on it, the gears, and mats to make them look worn and to bring out the details on them. This is my new favourite product, next to my Copic markers, of course!
You can never have too many gears on a steampunk card! So, I pulled out my Tim Holtz idea-ology gears, as well as another small silver gear that I had in my stash. I love how the silver gear had a heart for the centre of it instead of a circle! Perfect for an anniversary card!
Glossy accents were added to her pocket watch and Star Dust Stickles was added to the heart for the sentiment.
Using another trick that I like to implement, I coloured the rhinestones with my Copic markers to match my colours.
A simple sentiment with another heart says it all!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing Love You Lots Card using Raining Hearts by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card.
The Details of My Card
My 28th wedding anniversary is coming up and I thought this cutie would be perfect for my hubby’s card from me!
I had fun colouring her with my Copic markers, especially the red! My hubby knows it’s one of my favourite colours. I even coloured her hair to look like mine when we first met. Don’t you love the falling hearts and her bucket filled with love!
The Smitten paper pulled out the red and pinks of my colouring. It has roses and hearts with keys on it. So, I decided to pull out my key embellishments as a nod to my Hubby having the key to my heart. I threaded it through some Real Red Ruffled ribbon to make it look like it was hanging from the card.
The die cut pink heart border added some popped up dimension to one side. All I added was some resin hearts to tie in the red colour scheme.
A pink stitched die cut heart and wooden heart added the perfect backdrop to my white embossed sentiment tying in my red and pink colour scheme!

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!

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my Love you More Than Chocolate Card using the Nothing’s Better Than Stamp Set and matching Love You More Than Dies by Stampin’ Up! I have been meaning to play with this set and thought it would be perfect for a Valentine’s Day card!
The Details of My Card
For my card, I decided that I wanted to go with Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Real Red for my colour scheme since they reminded me of a box of chocolates.
I love how fun it is to replace the word “Chocolate” with the stamped image of the chocolates. Giving the receiver a subtle hint of what the card is all about. And just in case they miss that, I stamped in Early Expresso the word Chocolate and the outline of the chocolates on the Crumb Cake piece. For the stamped chocolates on the Basic White Card Stock, I used two-step stamping before die cutting them to create depth and dimension with Early Espresso for the outline and Crumb Cake for the silhouette.
To tie in the Real Red Designer Series Paper from the Regals Pack, I used Real Red for my hearts and Red Rhinestones to add sparkle. The stitched hearts were from the Give It a Whirl Dies. A favourite of mine for those little accents!

I had great fun colouring this cutie for a birthday card (link) that I thought he would make a fun Valentine card with his heart balloon! He comes with 9 stamps including a choice of heart balloon or round balloon, with or without grass and 5 sentiments that consist of Hello Love, Love Is In The Air (2 different styles), Happy Valentine’s Day and Heart Full Of Love in JPG.

Details of My Card
I decided that I wanted to use the Glorious Sky Slimline Paper for my background, but I die cut it down to fit a Mini Slimline card instead. This paper is awesome in that it completes the scene with minimal fuss. All I had to do was add my die cut sentiment with some Valentine flags and my coloured image which I popped onto an Action Wobble. What is more fun than an interactive card and this one is super cute!
