My Doll Detectives’ Slimline Box Card

Zoinks! Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Doll Detectives’ Slimline Box Card using Doll Detectives by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. This bundle comes with 6 digital stamps including 2 boys, 2 girls, a dog, and a van.

The Details of My Card

I had so much fun colouring these cuties with my Copic markers that I made another card with them, but a slimline box card instead! I will add a link to the other card I made at the end of this post.

For my card, I thought a torture scene would be perfect for them using Enchanted Kingdom and Enchanted Forest Slimline Paper by Whimsy Stamps. This paper makes creating scenes so easy because it’s so detailed. Since the paper is so amazing, I decided to use the whole sheet, even though my card would be larger than a usual slimline.

To create my scene, I decided to a box card would be fun allowing for 3 different layers on the front and another one for the back of the card. For each layer, I sponged a stencil to create the cobbled floor and road.

For my sentiments, I thought speech bubbles with their iconic sayings would be such fun! So, I created them in Microsoft Word and used my Brother Scan & Cut to cut them out. For Jinkies and Jeepers, I wanted them to hover above the girls’ heads. Hence, I used a thin strip of window sheet for each and glued them to the layer behind them. I will include a link to a PDF of the sentiments that I created that you could download at the end.

The only embellishment that I added was the cute magnifying glass beside the main sentiment. Tip: use Glossy Accents to glue it to the card. I found it worked the best.

Happy Birthday Dino Style!

Paper Nest Dolls Dino Party

New Release - Dinosaurs!

Hi PND Fans! It's Betty here today.  Paper Nest Dolls came out with the cutest dinosaur stamp set called Dino Party Set. This fabulous set comes with 4 dinosaurs, a saber toothed tiger, a hatching egg, a set of 2 eggs, a volcano, and a palm tree. These stamps are available in digital format and in red rubber.

The birthday card I'm sharing today features one of the dinosaurs, the hatching egg, the volcano, and the palm tree. I used the digital stamps so that I can make the stamps into the sizes I needed. After printing the stamps, I colored them with Copic markers, then fussy cut them out.

Copic markers used:

Dinosaur:

Green: G17, G01, G14, YR23, YR21

Blue: BG07, BG05, BG02, BG01

Hatching Egg:

Purple: BV29, V17, V15, V12, BV000

Yellow: YR27, YR24, Y19, Y18, Y13

Green: G17, G05, G14, YG23

Gray: C7, C5, C3

Volcano:

Brown: E49, E47, E44, E43

Red: R08, R05, R02

Palm Tree:

Green: G17, G05, G14, YG23

Brown: E18, E17, E13, E11

White gel pen to add some white dot highlights.

To create the sky, I used a clouds stencil from Stamp Anniething and inked it with Distress Oxide ink in Abandoned Coral. The rocky mountains are created using a mountains stencil from Stamp Anniething and inked with Distress Oxides in Gathered Twigs. After inking, I splattered water on the oxide inks and then blotted it with a paper towel. I then used a wonky stitched rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs to cut out this panel.

I adhered the volcano and the palm tree using liquid glue and used double-sided foam tape for the two dinosaurs. I created and printed the sentiment on my computer and cut it to size then added a brown cardstock mat and adhered it to the card front.

I used a stitched rectangular die from Scrappy Boy Stamps to cut out a white cardstock mat then adhered it onto a top folding A2 white card base. Then I adhered the card front to the mat and added a few enamel dots to finish the card.

This is such a cute and fun set of stamps! I hope you give this a try. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a creative day! ~Betty~

Stayin Alive Disco Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my Stayin Alive Disco Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Disco Amara. There are ten dolls in the Decade Collection that come in both rubber and digital stamps. You can find all the digital versions here.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I used the Seventies Ciao Bella Paper again to create my mini slimline card. This piece of paper is the left-over piece from my Roller Disco Babe card! So, I was able to get 2 cards made using one sheet of the paper! I love the disco ball and the “Stayin Alive” words under her feet!! The “Funky” sentiment was snipped from the paper as well. Perfect for Disco Amara!

To match the glitz of a disco ball, I added stars in Gold Metallic Paper. I even added a star flourish behind Amara. Love the way the curls and swirls of the flourish mimic movement…almost like Amara is dancing off the card! The only other things the card needed was a scattering of rhinestones and Gold Gelly Roll Pen on her earrings.

Dino Birthday

Hi Crafty Friends,
Paper Nest Dolls has a new collection of darling dinos! This set is called Dino Party Set and has four dinos, a volcano, hatching egg, and palm tree. I created a masculine birthday card using the Triceratops with his cupcake. I made a big and little triceratops by shrinking the image and flipping it before I printed.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What kind of cupcake do you think these dinos are eating?
A: Me? I think Triceratops are vegetarian so I'm guessing these have creamy brocoli and spinach frosting.

Time to Celebrate Your Special Day

Hi PND Fans! Betty here today. I love creating celebration cards that can be used for different occasions. The card I made using Paper Nest Dolls digital Love Train Set can be used for celebrating a birthday, graduation, birth of a baby, or an award. This amazing set comes with eight images: a train engine, five cars, a boy conductor, and a girl conductor.

I made this mini-slimline card 7"W x 3"H to fit all the train images I wanted on the card.

I first colored all the images with Copic markers then I fussy cut them out.

I first created clouds using a clouds stencil with Distress Oxide in Tumbled Glass directly on the slimline card base for a single layer card. I added a strip of blue striped patterned paper from Carta Bella. I stamped the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp. I then adhered the images onto the card and the card was finished. 

A simple but fun card to make. I hope you give this card a try! 

Thank you for visiting. Have a wonderful and creative day! ~Betty~
