Happy New Year!!!

Hello everyone! There is nothing like a fresh new year. A new opportunity to grow, and build on what you have already accomplished. To celebrate I made a pretty card with Masquerade Ellie.

I Copic and fussy cut this little masked lady. All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I am Roses. The "Happy" die cut and the "New Year" are from My Creative Time. From all of us here at The Paper Nest Dolls we wish a very happy, prosperous, and crafty New Year!

Merry & Bright

Hello Everyone!!! Is it too late for Christmas cards? I don't think so! I made this cutie with Christmas Angel 

I used a new hinged card method I learned to make it a six by six card. She is colored with copics and fussy cut. The "Merry" die cut and the "& bright" are from my creative time. Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my card today.

Gnome Ellie

Hello everyone,

As you know I’ve been GDT for the Paper Nest Dolls for the past few months and here is another card with sweet Gnome Ellie , She’s just perfect for Christmas cards but I wanted to show you by varying the colour choice and theme,  she is a very versatile stamp.....

you can see more on my blog here

Circus Ringmaster Owen

I finally got the chance to make an unusual shaped card.  It's a large Sizzix

die.  I layered the yellow paper on top of white cardstock that I folded in half. 

I added 3 layers to the base and some flowers.  Fussy cut out Owen.  

Added some stitching with my white and glittery gel pens.  I also

managed to add a lion button behind the flowers. If you would like to 

have Circus Ringmaster Owen, you can find him here.

This Is My Happy Place

Hello everyone! I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas! So one of the great things about the day after Christmas is there are some great shopping deals to be found! I created a card with Shopping Girl Ellie

I'm not much of a in store shopper but I LOVE to shop online! I Copic colored Ellie and fussy cut her. The sentiment and the patterned paper are from a Craft Smith paper pad I got at Michaels called Blackberry Lemon. I fussy cut the sentiment from one of the papers in the stack. All the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. 

Hugs

Martha

Angel Ellie is colored with Distress inkt .

Some lovely flowers and a little heart, and above a angel, a die from marianne design.

Emma Pulling Presents

Hi

Made a christmas card with Emma Pulling Presents to show you today. The image is coloured with copics and I have used papers from Maja Design. The decoration is bought at a local store. It is table decorations which I thought would work on a christmas card.

Hope you like it.

Christmas Carollers

I am so ready for Christmas day to arrive.  Christmas is one of our favorite

holidays to celebrate.  I usually start decorating the day after Thanksgiving but this year

the decorations came out early.

I love to add black to my Christmas cards for some reason.  This paper is by 

Graphic 45 and after coloring this sweet couple with my copics, they were

a perfect match.  I love the lamp post and the added holly die cuts.  The

background of the stamped image is shaded with blue chalk.

I guess you can say that I love layering on my cards.  Not the best

for mailing but love the added dimension.  You could even separate the

image and use the girl and boy individually.  I hope that you like

my take on this stamp.  You can purchase it here!

Love Strung Ellie

Pop Star Ellie

Thought I would make a card using Pop Star Ellie.  I wanted to try

to do a two toned hair color and of course, pink made its way into the card.

The animal print paper was screaming to be used when I saw the print on the 

shirt and leggings.  

I so enjoy coloring pleats and folds to try and get depth into the image.

I think I succeeded.  I made a flower from the Melissa Frances zipper trim I bought

at the Ontario Expo and used the resin stars of hers that were included in my 

Design Team package.   

I hope I inspired you to create a card of your own.  Why not try coloring two

toned hair too!  It was fun!  You can find Pop Star Ellie here!  Come on!

Sing your song!!!!
