Snowflake Wishes by Conie Fong

Hi friends!  Today I am sharing a card made with the gorgeous Snowflake Wishes image by Conie Fong.  This image comes with 5 images (the fairy facing right and left, a poinsettia, and two sentiments).  You can find it on Conie Fong's etsy shop.  Here is my Design Team slimline card:


I had a hard time photographing the card but it does look better IRL.  I coloured the image with Copic markers.  I used glittered paper for the snowmen border and the icicles borders.

For more wonderful inspiration, please visit Conie Fong's Facebook group called Conie Fong Art & Design Group.  And, for more beautiful images by Conie, remember to visit her etsy shop here.

That's all from me for today.  Lori xx

Fairy Elida by Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps

Hello peeps!  Hope you are well.  Today, I am sharing my second DT card for the DDS challenge using the lovely Fairy Elida image by Digi Doodle Studios Digi Stamps.  The theme for this month is METAL / SPARKLE.  I chose the latter.  There is also a DDS Facebook challenge here.  Here is my card:  

I decided to use an adorable image by Dreamstime called Mushroom House for the background.  This sweet little fairy is coloured with Copic markers.  The cute butterflies around her are by Your Next Stamp "Spring Smiles" clear stamps.

For sparkle, I used pink glitter paper, and I applied clear Wink of Stella to her wings for a lovely shimmer.

Pixie by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hey there, friends!  Summer began in my neck of the woods yesterday.  I have to say that summer is my least favourite season.  Too hot and humid, and way too many bugs.  However, I do love that the days are longer.

Challenge #517 starts today on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  This week's theme is THINGS WITH WINGS.  What a versatile theme, right?  I chose the darling Pixie image by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  She is so very sweet!


This card is smaller than the standard slimline cards.  It measures 3.5" x 6.25.  I followed an awesome video tutorial by Karen Aicken.  Her video shows you how to use 6" x 6" papers to create mini slimline cards.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FPXyyvWzig  

Here is a side view:  

This cutie is coloured with Copic markers and Polychromos pencils.  I applied Liquid Pearls (Petal Pink) to the butterflies' bodies, and Wink of Stella to the fairy's wings.

Fairy of the Cookies by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps

Hi friends!  Welcome to my DT post for this week's challenge (#509) on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.  Our challenge this week is to create a birthday card.  I chose the darling "Fairy of the Cookies" by The Paper Shelter Digital Stamps.  I love fairies and I love cookies and so this was the perfect choice for my card.


The simple scene is drawn by me, and I used Copics and Polychromos to colour this adorable image.  I applied Wink of Stella (clear) to her wings for a lovely shimmer. The whisk is a clipart freebie which I found on the Internet.  I fussy cut it, added some floss and a couple of small flowers to it.  The flowers are handmade.
