My Hoppy Easter Card 

 

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing My Hoppy Easter Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Bunny Wagon

The Details of My Card

I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers in bright Easter colours to match my Easter paper.

For my card, I decided to create several flags using the different papers in varying sizes at the top left and bottom right. I used my punch to create my flags in the different widths.

The white background already had a texture to it, but I used a ruler and a multi liner to draw lines along the edges to add even more interest.

To highlight my focal point, I added a stitched circle in pink behind the Bunny Wagon.

The sentiment was stamped, and die cut with a stitched banner die which was cut off at the edge to match the other flags.

Star Dust Stickles was added to the heart on her dress. The only other embellishment was a scattering of sequins.

Jingle All the Way

Santa Ellie with Gift
Santa Ellie with Gift



Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here sharing my Jingle All the Way Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. I used the updated Santa Ellie with Gift which is only $1 right now! Make sure you get yours at such a great deal!!

I coloured Ellie with my Copic Markers in Santa red and white colours. Isn’t she just the cutest in her Santa outfit! I knew that I wanted to create a shaker card and use some Christmas foil accents. There have been some awesome shaker cards by the PND Design Team, and I was inspired by them to give it a try! Since the Jingle All the Way die cut had bells, I used mini bells from the dollar store for the shaker part. I had to double up my adhesive strips to give the bells enough room to jingle when you shook the card. To tie in those bells, I die cut some larger bells in the red and green foil and then tied 3 bells with linen thread.

Emma with Panda

 


Hello friends!  How are you all doing today?!  I've been busy crafting and coloring and getting ready for the holidays!  

Today, I'm sharing this sweet Emma with Panda card!  To see more of my cards, you can follow me on Instagram @craftyandcreativevibes.

To make this card, I printed the digital image onto 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers and then fussy cut it out.  I layered patterned paper, white cardstock, and then added some embellishments to finish the card off!  I used liquid glue and 3D foam squares to assemble the card.






Thank you so much for stopping by the Paper Nest Dolls Blog today!  I hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Xoxo,  Amanda

Spooky Double Z-Fold Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here sharing my Spooky Double Z-Fold Halloween Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. I had so much fun colouring with my Copic Markers these cuties from the Spooky House Set (7 Stamps). This set comes with 7 stamps including 6 characters and a haunted house. I used the digital stamps, but this set also comes in rubber and can be found in the store here

Spooky Z-Fold Halloween Card

I had a ton of fun creating this spooky double z-fold card for our trick-or-treaters who are out roaming around! Do they dare go to the eerily spooky house on the hill??? The pirate and the ghost are headed that way!

Spooky Z-Fold Halloween Card Flat

To create my spooky night sky, I used a technique called the Copic Galaxy Background. For the galaxy stars, I used my Tim Holtz Distress Splatter Brush. I also used a White Gelly Roll Pen and the Colorless Blender, to make my some of my stars appear brighter/closer.

Galaxy Sky

Next I used Tim Holtz Squeezed Lemonade, Carved Pumpkin and Ripe Persimmon Distress Ink Pads with a Round Blending Tool to create my glowing moon on a stitched circle die. I used the Splatter Brush again to splatter water onto the moon to give a bit of texture once it was dry.

I love the Spooky House that comes with this set! I had fun colouring it, especially those glowing windows and doorway! In addition to colouring them, I use a paint brush and painted a thin layer of Apple Sour Nuvo Glow Drops. I wanted the details of the broken panes of glass and the spider to still be seen, but when you turn out the lights, the windows and door glow spookily.

Just a Girl and Her Cat

Hi crafty friends!  
It's Amanda here with my very first card with Paper Nest Dolls!  

I am so excited to share this Build Your Own Nest card!  I had so much fun creating my own living room!  I felt like an interior decorator!  


To create this card, I printed the background first on a piece of 80lb. Neenah Solar Classic White cardstock.  I cut it down to A2 size (4.25" x 5.5").  The background consisted of the window, frame, and the rug.  

Next, I printed all the other images on a separate piece of cardstock.  Before printing, I put the cat and the girl on their chairs so that I didn't have to cut them out separately.  I also put the books under the table.

I colored all the images with my Copic markers and then used precision scissors to cut each image out.
Hair:  E29, E09, E08
Skin: E11, E00, E000
Grays: N04, N03, N02, N01
Yellows: Y17, Y04, Y02, Y00, Y000
Greens: G20, G24, G12, G00
Browns: E35, E34, E31, E30

I used 3D foam squares to adhere my images to my scene, except for the items on the table.  I used liquid glue for those items.  

There are so many possibilities with this Build Your Own Nest set!  I can't wait to make more scenes!
'Til next time!  Xoxo, Amanda

Sending you oceans of love

Hey crafty peeps, Sandra here with you today sending oceans of love with that cute mermaid card.


For my card I used almost all digi stamps of the new Mermaid Set and combined them to create a beautiful underwater scene.


This time I designed a pure coloration card and did not use any die cuts. 

At first I painted the underwater background with my Copic markers because it is the brightest and small mistakes when overpainting can be corrected later without problems with a darker color.


After that I colored the seabed and the sand castle, then continued with the sea grass and also colored the mermaids.

Love to garden

Hey crafty friends, Sandra here today with a really large card full of blooming flowers, cute fairies and their best gnomies gardening together.


I created that card with multiple die cut and printed digital image layers to achieve a more realistic 3D effect.


It feels like you are already standing in that garden, smell the fresh air and look at the fluttering fairies.


The little gnome starts trimming the lawn while talking to his friends. He is really enjoying that wonderful sunny day.


Hopefully your day is as brightful as on my card!
