Happy Hauntings Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my Happy Hauntings Halloween Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Secret Girl Emma.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a Halloween card and colour her with my Copic markers like Coraline in the movie. But Emma would be great for Spring, back to school, birthday and so many more occasions!

I had to add a spooky spider web panel with a glittery spider on it. The openings of the spider web allowed me to add some bootackular paper behind it! Lol! I thought it would be fun having her walking by a graveyard as she is trick-or-treating. The sentiment is from the Chit Chat and I just cut off the pointy speech bubble part to make it non-directional and more like a sentiment.

The Halloween candy banner was perfect for my card since she is trick-or-treating! A couple of sprinkles to match her jacket/boots and a black rhinestone were all the other embellishments this card needed.

Christmas Pyjamas Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my Christmas Pyjamas Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stamp called Emma in Snowman Sweater. 

For my card, I decided that this cutie reminded me of the matching Christmas PJs that are so popular! So, I coloured her and her little friend with my Copic Markers in matching red and white. I love that you can have both cuties together or use them separately to suit your card!

My Gingerbread Fun Fold Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here sharing My Gingerbread Fun Fold Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. I used a number of digital stamps to create my fun gingerbread card including Gingerbread House, Gingerbread Boy, Gingerbread Girl, Gingerbread Winter Boy, Tiny Emma with Cookie and Tiny Ellie with Candy Cane.

I had so much fun creating this wonderland of gingerbread. I had an idea that I wanted to create a centre-step card and planned to use my colouring from the recent 30 Day Coloring Challenge to build my card. I’m so happy with how it turned out!

I created a ton of layers with the snow banks that all sparkle with Stardust Stickles and then layered my characters between them in the different folds. Of course, that is not all that sparkles! The windows of the house, Ellies’s candy cane and Emma’s peppermint candy bow all have glossy accents. I even added Clear Wink of Stella to the peppermint swirl on the house, the gum drops in front of the house, the Gingerbread Girl’s bow and hearts and the heart on Ellie’s dress! Can’t have a Christmas card without Christmas trees all dressed up for Christmas with stars and red Christmas lights! The Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper by Stampin Up! was perfect to create my snowy scene.

That’s Amore Anniversary Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here sharing my That’s Amore Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. This sweet rubber stamp is called Italian Love. I coloured this cute couple to look like my Hubby and me since this card is for my Hubby and our 26th Wedding Anniversary which is today.

This card is my homage to when we first met and started dating in university. The first time I saw him, he was just back from a vacation in Florida. He was so tanned with his hair bleached from the sun. Hence why he is a little more tanned than me in my colouring. Lol! My hubby’s favourite dinner is spaghetti and meatballs. When we were dating, he would take me to Mother’s Pizza Parlour and Spaghetti House with their plastic red and white checked tablecloths for dinner. He would always order his spaghetti with a garlic bread with cheese. We never split it like the couple here, but that would have been so romantic!

I was so happy to see such cute Hanukkah images! They are so hard to find. We have friends who have two little boys that I send cards to every year.

Merry & Bright

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! Do you ever create non-traditional coloured Christmas cards? I couldn’t resist colouring the sweet Holiday Gifts Avery Digital Stamp in non-traditional pinks and purples. Wouldn’t this stamp in these colours be a great winter birthday too!

For this card, I added lots of bling with the glimmer paper snowflakes and snow bank and a ton of rhinestones. I always thought you can never have too much bling for a Christmas card! The sentiment pieces from the Doodlebug Chit Chat were a perfect complement to the card and don’t you just love the wooden present accent.
