My Poinsettia Christmas Card

July 31, 2023 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I’m squeezing in one final Christmas in July card for you today! I am sharing My Poinsettia Christmas Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using the beautiful Christmas Leilani.

The Details of My Card

I loved colouring with my Copic markers Leilani, especially all that gorgeous hair! I matched my colouring of the flowers to the beautiful Poinsettia Garden Paper Collection by Paper Roses that I just purchased on a road trip with friends! So, I went with a deep red for the poinsettias, a blue/green for the succulents and white for the other flowers. Tip: for contrast with the reds, add C5 to the deepest shadows to make the individual petals pop.

Once she was coloured, I knew that I wanted to use the pretty Poinsettia Border Die also by Paper Roses. This was purchased on the same road trip as the paper. I loved how the die is so delicate while allowing the Paper Roses smaller poinsettia paper to peek through.

Next, I added a border of pretty lace to mark my transition between the die and the other side of the card. I used a piece of the Paper Roses paper with larger poinsettias on it as a backdrop for Leilani. Since this is a Christmas card, I thought a gold edge to it would tie in nicely to the other gold accents.

The sentiment was heat embossed in gold and matted with Cherry Cobbler. To continue the gold theme, I added a gold die cut filigree below it.

Then the paper poinsettias were added around her. The gold centres mirror the gold Gelly Roll Pen that I used on the poinsettias in my colouring.

Finally, the finishing touch was a couple of gold glitters dots placed around my focal point of Leilani.

My Sliding Santa Card

July 28, 2023 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Sliding Santa Card for Christmas in July and as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the Vacation Santa Set. There are 7 stamps, which include Surfer Santa, Ice-cream Santa, Santa with Reindeer Floatie, Santa & Mrs. Claus, Palm Tree and Flamingo & Gifts, that come in both rubber and digital stamps. I made a card with Ice-cream Santa from this set as well and will include a link to it at the end of this post.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create fun interactive slider card using Santa with Reindeer Floatie. I had so much fun colouring this cutie with my Copic markers! In fact, I coloured two of him and will use the second version on another card. I added some white Gelly Roll Pen to his floatie and Rudolph’s nose to give them a shine.

Next, I wanted to see the different layers of the papers behind him. So, I used two different slimline die sets. I picked a water-like paper for the slider piece as if he is going down a river twirling around like at one of those amusement parks. Lol! I kept the cut-out piece from the slider die and glued it through the hole onto the layer below it so that you couldn’t see the orange layer below. This added to my pool like feel.

I used some slider discs to create my slider, but in the past, I have also used pennies. I made sure that my dimensionals were round so that I could get him spinning around. There is a good video by Taylored Expressions on making a slider card using their discs. I followed it to create my slider part. I will add a link at the end of this post.

My Sliding Santa Card in Action

I decorated my card using some Christmas Chit Chat pieces. I popped up the sentiment ones making sure that my Santa would not get caught on them. A couple of matching glitter dots were added to add some sparkle.

Santa on Vacation Card

July 25, 2023 2 Comments

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Santa on Vacation Card for Christmas in July and as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Vacation Santa Set. There are 7 stamps, which include Surfer Santa, Ice-cream Santa, Santa with Reindeer Floatie, Santa & Mrs. Claus, Palm tree and Flamingo & Gifts, that come in both rubber and digital stamps.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a summer beach scene with Santa enjoying his ice cream! I coloured Santa and the palm tree with my Copic Markers. I love that he has a candy cane in his ice cream! Lol! I added Glossy Accents to his glasses and the light bulbs on the palm tree. For the palm tree, I used Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to make the star sparkle and Silver Gelly Roll Pen on the wires for the lights.

Next, onto the scene building! The sky was created with watercolor paper and blending two blue Distress Oxide Inks onto it with my blending brush. Then, I used my splatter brush to splatter water to create some texture. Once that was done, I die cut some sand dunes and embossed them to give them the texture of sand. Finally, the sun and cloud were added to finish off my scene.

For the sentiment, I wanted just “Merry and Bright” even though the sentiment was “May Your Days be Merry and Bright”. So, I used Scotch Tape (you could also use a post-it note) to mask off the text that I didn’t want. Remember to remove the tape before you stamp though! Once the sentiment was stamped, I heat embossed it in white and die cut it out.

My beachy scene was added to a piece of Make A Splash paper that had palm trees in a bright greens and blue sky to mirror my scene.

The only embellishments added were some red rhinestones scattered around my focal point.

Tri-Fold Shutter Card

July 21, 2023 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my alternative Tri-Fold Shutter Card using the May 2023 Exploring In Color Paper Pumpkin Kit. I made one of these for Father’s Day (I will post it at the end) using the same kit but using a different card. It was a huge hit! So, I thought I would make one as a birthday card for a teenager who loves to camp!

The Details of My Card

For my fun-fold card, I used a full card base front and back from the Paper Pumpkin Kit. Loved that the card bases were printed with a continual scene from front to back! Therefore, with some careful measuring, this made it easy to create my card!

Since the PP card base is 5 ½” tall (same as my card base), I trimmed ¼” off top and bottom to make it fit onto my card base with mats. I didn’t mat the two centre scene strips since they were so thin already. They also have the fold from the PP card base in them, but you really don’t notice it.

Next, the stamped images were from the stamp set that came in the kit. I made the boots look like they were walking. Lol! Since the stamped pieces filled the space so nicely, I didn’t need to mat them.

Finally, the only things that I added to my card was the card base, some In Color card stock and Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems. The linen thread, binoculars and sentiment pieces were all from the kit.

Supplies:

Stamps: May 2023 Exploring In Color Paper Pumpkin Kit, Gone Fishing Stamp Set (For Father’s Day Card) (161535)

Inks: Copper Clay Spot (In Kit)

Paper: Very Vanilla 12” x 12” Cardstock (144239), Copper Clay (161721), Boho Blue (161724), Wild Wheat (161725), Pebbled Path (161722)

Accessories: Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems (161300), Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots (For Father’s Day Card) (159082), Linen Thread (In Kit), Bone Folder (102300), Stampin’ Dimensionals (In Kit), Stampin’ Seal (152813), Mini Glue Dots (In Kit)

Measurements:

Very Vanilla:
- 12” x 5 ½” (cut/scored according to template below
Copper Clay: (3 pieces)
- 1 ¾” x 5 ¼” (2 pieces)
- 2” x 3 ½”
Boho Blue:
- 2 ¼” x 1 ¾” (2 pieces)
- 2 ¼” x 3 ¾”
Wild Wheat:
- 1 ¼” x 1 ¾” (2 pieces)
Pebbled Path (3 pieces):
- 1 ¼” x 1 ¾” (2 pieces)
Card Pieces:
- 1” x 5” (2 pieces) (long vertical pieces)
- 1 ¼” x 3 ¾” (2 pieces) (long horizontal pieces)
- 2” x 1 ½” (2 pieces)

More Information on My Tri-Fold Shutter Card

Lastly, here is my Father’s Day Card using the May Exploring In Color Paper Pumpkin Kit. Same measurements as above, but a Basic White card base, different Paper Pumpkin card from the kit and Rustic Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots. The sentiment is from the Gone Fishing Stamp Set.

My Happy Couple Card

July 19, 2023 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Happy Couple Card using the digital stamp Wedding Couple by Krista Smith Stamps. This past weekend we had a wedding in our family, and this was the card I made for the happy couple to celebrate them!

The Details of My Card

I made a bridal shower card for the bride a few months ago and based my colouring on the couple getting married. They both loved the card (I will post it at the end)! So, I decided to do the same thing and colour these two cuties the same way. I went with green for the guy’s suit since I knew he would be wearing green. White Gelly Roll Pen was added to their eyes to make them sparkle and the girl’s lips to make them glossy. I added Glossy Accents to the Champagne glasses to make them shine. Clear Wink of Stella was added to the lace trim of the bride’s dress to make it sparkle.

Since I knew that their flowers were going to be wildflowers, I again went with the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper and matching Dainty Delight Dies like I did with the shower card.

I knew that I wanted to use the arbour frame with a shimmery white card stock, but with my coloured couple in the centre rather than the generic bride and groom shadows that came in the frame. So, I used my paper snips to cut the shadows out.

The sentiment was stamped in VersaMark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder to match all the gold accents including the frame around the arbour piece, the gold dots, and the strip of gold under the sentiment. I used my Paper Snips to add an angle to the sentiment piece.

A scattering of heart shaped pearls around the sentiment, along with the wooden heart embellishment, added to my theme of love.

Rudolph Red-Nose Reindeer Card

July 7, 2023 Leave a comment

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Rudolph Red-Nose Reindeer Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Conie Fong Art & Design using Reindeer Lights and Sentiment. The Design Team are celebrating Christmas in July at Conie Fong Art & Design Facebook Group with a 25% off sale for 3 days, July 7, 8 and 9, 2023. No coupon code needed. Visit the Etsy store at https://www.etsy.com/shop/ConieFongArt.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I found some fun Christmas lights paper with matching papers to use on my card. Once I decided on them, I coloured the reindeer in the same colours to match. I trimmed him out with my Brother Scan n’ Cut. Then, I added glossy accents to the light bulbs and Star Dust Stickles to his hat trim.

I thought it would be fun to make the reindeer’s nose glow just like Rudolph’s nose! I love an interactive card with a light switch that you push! So, I used a light mechanism from Pear Blossom Press and strategically placed it under the green piece of paper. Once I did that, I poked a hole through the green paper right where I planned to place the reindeer’s nose. I used extra thick dimensionals on the green piece to allow enough space for the light mechanism. The “Push” circle was done on my computer, printed out and then punched with a ¼” punch.

The sentiment was from the stamp set and die cut with a Stitched Rectangle Die. To balance out my card, I added some foil die cut light bulbs in matching colours to Rudolph’s light bulbs. The die cut black piece was from the light bulb die set to hang lights off, but I thought it added some fun at the top so that it looks like my focal point it being held up by it.

The finishing touch was adding some red rhinestones with one on the “Twinkle” and a couple beside the die cut light bulbs!

You’re Stellar Wobble Card

July 5, 2023 Leave a comment

A card with an Astronaut and planet on it. — You’re Stellar Wobble Card

Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing my You’re Stellar Wobble Card using the Stargazing Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! This Collection includes the Reach for the Stars Stamp Set, Reach for the Stars Dies and Stargazing 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper.

The Details of My Card

My card was for a swap, and I decided to make a fun faux centre-step card to allow enough room for the astronaut and a planet to fit on my centre panel. I used the measurements from my faux centre-step template which I have included at the end of this post.

When I saw this Suite in the Annual Catty, I knew that I wanted to make a wobble card as well! They are so fun and interactive! I bought the Mini Action Wobble on Amazon.ca, but you could easily make your own by using a piece of bendable wire and wrap it around a pencil. Then, secure one end to your wobble piece and the other end to the card base.

Astronaut in Action

Since I made this card for a swap, I needed several planets, but only a couple fit the planet die and the rings die. I really wanted to use the ring die with silver foil paper! I thought it would add some cosmic shimmer along with the die cut stars! So, I fudged it. Tip: if you die cut the larger planets, make sure that the shadow is showing in the centre of the die. This gives it a realistic 3D look.

All Cards with Different Planets — Swap Cards with Different Planets

I decided to stamp my astronaut and sentiment in Basic Gray since there was already a lot of black to my card. Besides, it was a good alternative to colouring the astronaut since I would have used Smoky Slate to colour his shadows and left most of him white anyways. So, this did it for me!

Tip: to figure out where to place glue for the centre panel, I used my grid paper a pencil to mark the section.

The only embellishments were three Classic Matte Dots in each colour tying in my colour scheme. Of course, they had to be in a row showing my Star Trekkie side of me! Lol!

I made another card as well for a friend. This time I added the retired Shimmery Crystal Effects to the astronaut’s helmet. So fun!

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Stargazing Suite Collection (161189)

Inks: Basic Gray (149165)

Paper: Basic Black (121045), Basic White (159276), Lemon Lime Twist (144245), Silver Foil 12” x 12” Specialty Pack (156457), Stargazing 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (in Collection)

True North Beavers Card

July 1, 2023 Leave a comment

A Canada Day card with two beavers on it — True North Beavers Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my True North Beavers Card using ‘Canadian Beavers’ Digital Stamp by Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios. This stamp is quintessentially Canadian, and I thought it would make a great Canada Day card!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I knew that I wanted to use the O Canada 2 cardstock. I have been waiting to use it since I bought it last summer! It’s perfect to celebrate Canada Day especially with the Eh! word bubbles! Lol! I also knew that I wanted to use the maple leaves and wood grain papers. So, I created a simple tryptic card front to layer my polaroid focal point.

The beavers were coloured with my Copic markers to match the papers. I made the parent beaver a little darker than the little beaver to help distinguish the two. I coloured their noses with a black gelly pen and used a white one to add highlights. Once they were coloured, I placed them into my polaroid frame that I die cut out. It’s like they are taking a selfie on Canada Day! Lol!

I added a die cut maple leaf at the base of the polaroid frame with a sentiment from the stickers. The stitched real red heart was die cut and layered with a heart with maple leaves from the ephemera pack to balance the sentiment. I trimmed down the True North piece from the ephemera pack and place it so that it was peeking out from my frame. Red rhinestones were the finishing touch adding some sparkle and tying in my red colour scheme.
