You are Super (Mario, Luigi, Peach)

Hi Crafty Friends,
Paper Nest Dolls has the most DARLING new release featuring all the characters from the Mario Brothers Nintendo Game. It's called Plumber Brothers & Company. I remember how excited I would get to go to friend's houses who had Nintendo so I could play this game! I used Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach for my slimline card.

Q: Which is your favorite Mario character?

Game On Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my Game On Birthday Card using the Plumber Brothers and Company by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. This Set comes with 14 digital stamps, and I used 8 of them on my card.

The Details of My Game On Birthday Card

Everyone loves the classic Mario Brothers video game! For my card, I wanted to create their world using the different elements that they must encounter. So, I coloured my stamps with my Copic markers in bright primary colours.

Next, I decided to use the Enchanted Kingdom Slimline Designer Paper by Whimsy. The primary colours and scene were perfect for my Mario world!

I die cut this slimline paper with the Slimline Windows Dies by Whimsy to create the different levels in which I could insert my elements. I popped up the frame using adhesive strips to limit the sagging especially along the top and bottom edges. Next, I adhered with liquid glue the leftover die cut scene squares to the card base to create dimension. Tip: liquid glue gives you time to position the squares and allow wiggle room to get them just right.

Once the scene was in place, I added my elements to the different squares to create my Mario world.

The sentiment was stamped in black and die cut out with a stitched rectangle. I added a star to one side to help with the balance.

The finishing touch was to add Mario and Luigi to the card. Voilà! Game On! My Mario world was complete!

Just Me and My Puppy

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! It is starting to feel like summer! So, I am sharing Just Me and My Puppy as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Emmas Sweet Friend enjoying an ice cream cone together! 

The Details of Just Me and My Puppy

I just love this sweet digital stamp which reminded me of my puppy So, I coloured him with my Copic markers to look like my Jesse Pup. To match Jesse, I coloured Emma to look like me so that my card looked like my puppy and me! So fun!

For my card, I decided to use the Pampered Pooch Collection by Photo Play with its bright colours and puppy theme. Even the sentiment “furrever friends” is a sticker from that collection.

Next, I added a die cut white wooden fence using the Wood Textured Specialty Paper to add some interest to the background and balance out my card.

Since they are sharing an ice cream cone, I thought I would build a double scooped one with sprinkles and a heart rhinestone that I coloured red with my Copic marker. I even coloured the punched-out ice cream with my Copic markers to give it definition.

To balance out the ice cream cone, I added a MDF heart with a paw print inside which I placed beside my sentiment and layered a die cut heart beneath it.

Finally, for embellishments, I added a scattering of red rhinestones and used Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen for the dog tag.

Back to School Ellie by Noelene

Hello Crafty Friends, Noelene back today with some D.T. inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls. 

For my card today I am using the cute PND Back to School Ellie stamp. This image is perfect to create Thank you or Birthday cards to a special teacher.

I created my card on a 5"x7" base & cut my coloured panels & layered. I created my sentiment in my Silhouette program & cut it out with black vinyl as I was not able to print it onto my notebook paper. I then transfered it onto my card into place. I cut with my Silhoutee, put together & glued my book stack. After colouring my image & creating my book stack I adhered these down using some foam tape for dimension. Lastly I used some enamel sprinkles to embellish.

Copics:

Clothes & Shoes & Cat: R22, R24, R27, R29, C1, C2, C4, C6

Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20

My Shellabrate Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! One final mermaid card for MerMay from me! I am sharing My Shellabrate Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Mermaid Ellie with Seahorse. 

The Details of My Shellabrate Card

Since it was perfect for my Mermaid theme, I decided to use the Mermaid Tales Collection Kit by Echo Park! The Kit came with paper and stickers. So, I used the “Sparkle & Shine” sticker as well as the paper on my card. The Shellabrate flag was from the Mermaid Dreams Frames & Tags also by Echo Park.

Once I picked my papers, I used the colours from it to colour Ellie with my Copic markers. I used Clear Wink of Stella on her tail and on the fins of the seahorse to add some sparkle just like the sticker said!

Next, I added an angel fish die cut to match the fish in the paper, as well as a shell and seaweed beside the sticker to help ground her.

Finally, for embellishments, I added three dew drops that look like air bubbles to mirror the air bubble paper. I also added a black rhinestone for the fish’s eye.
