My Easter Egg Hunt Card
Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! Easter is just around the corner. So, I am sharing My Easter Egg Hunt Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Lulu with Easter Basket.
The Details of My Easter Egg Hunt Card
I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers in Easter colours to match my Easter paper. I just love these soft colours!
For my card, I decided to use the gorgeous Tulip Dies as a backdrop for Lulu. I just bought these dies and was eager to use them! So, I went with white card stock and a soft pink that has some texture on it so as not to detract from Lulu. The sentiment “Easter Egg Hunt” was from the Welcome Easter Paper Pad and perfect for my theme.
To decorate my card, I added die cut Easter eggs that matched the colours of Lulu’s eggs in her basket. Next, I added several Brass Butterflies floating from the focal point.
Finally, to add some sparkle, I used Wink of Stella on Lulu’s eggs, hair bow and basket bow.

My Favorite Song Card
The Details of My Favorite Song Card
I had coloured this stamp with my Copic markers a while back…in fact, since I liked her so much, I coloured her twice at the time! Lol! So, I decided to finally get this one onto a card especially since I bought the perfect Walkman dies by My Favorite Things!
For my card, I thought that the Walkman would make a fun shaker. So, I built my Walkman using the dies and even added four layers to the red foam ear pieces to give them some dimension! I used a Window Sheet for where my shaker sequins would go. Once that was built, I added Foam Adhesive Strips between the top and the cassette paper to enclose my sequins. I thought that the cassette paper was a great backing for my Walkman! The skates and disco ball paper behind my focal point was perfect for my theme!
The sentiment was from a retired Stampin’ Up! Stamp Set, but you could easily type this out on your computer and printing it. It was stamped in black ink and die cut out using the Stitched Rectangles.
To add some sparkle to the card, I used Stickles on Ellie’s pompoms on her skates. For the musical notes, I used holographic paper to give them an iridescent look! Very hip for the 80’s. Lol! The final touch was adding Glossy Accents to her Walkman case.

My Kitty Love Card
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.
