Dress Up Dolls by Ildi

Hello crafty friends, this is my first non-card project on the PND blog, can't deny my excitement about it :). Ilways loved to play with dress up paper dolls as a child,  had a huge box with piles of paper dolls and dresses, even had a pop-up house for them. 


Ever since I was involved in papercrafting the idea to create something similar with my stamping tools has been on my mind. And now with my lots of free time I felt I'd go for it. I used the rubber stamps Amara With Poppy and Lulu With Peony.



I stamped them in my sketck book and partially colored them with my Copics. Stamped the images onto various pieces of pattern paper as well and fussy cut the dresses and Lulu's bow. Put a little repositionable glue on the back of the paper pieces in order to easily attach them onto the dolls.



It can be a good idea for using up pattern paper scraps. 


I've stamped and cut out many different outfits. I found that it can help finding the best color combos for cardmaking as well. 


I've created some die cut envelopes to store the dresses for these lovely young ladies so they can always change clothes when they wish. 



Thank you for stopping by, whising joyful creative time!
Hugs, 
Ildi

Teacher Emma - By Cat

Hi Everyone! Cat here

Well this week my little boy should have been leaving nursery and heading, as we cal it, to big boy school. He wasn't really looking forward to it, so it's luck that we are in lock-down really. 

The shock will be so big for him, as he left the nursery so quickly and will be returning to a brand new place, with brand new staff and children. It's a worry. 

This is the card that i made for his teachers, but now i suppose its a card to 'Thanks' Teachers for their tireless work during lock-down 


I have used the Digital Image 'Teacher Emma' which you can find here, But you can also get her as a rubber stamp here.

The image has been coloured with Promarkers and white gel pen. 
Hair:Coco, Saddle Brown, Raw Sienna
Dress/ Shoes/ Glasses :Dusky Rose, Cocktail Pink, Pale Pink, Vanilla, Ivory, white gell Pen, Cool Grey 2 (Glasses)
Skin: Saffron, Vanilla, Blush 

Glass glaze was added to the glasses and the apple. 

I hope you lke it!

Be safe, Stay Home and Craft Happy! 

Cat

Coffee anyone?

You Make Me Smile by Ildi


Hello dear crafty friends, it's Ildi here with a spring themed scene card. Can't deny that I'm fond of mushroom houses, gnomes and fairies so no wonder I picked some super cute images from the Gnome set to create my card for today's blog post. With all the small elements this is one of the most versatile set by the Paper Nest Dolls. To finish my project I tried recreate and somewhat change a story book background by Sandy Allnock.


Thank you for stopping by, wishing you happy and relaxing create!

Farmer Owen by Noelene

Hi all
Noelene back again today today to share with you my latest card. 
For my card today I am using the adorable PND Farmer Owen with his moo-velous little cow friend.




Farmer Owen is so cute he gives you the country feels. When I saw this cute image I just had to create a farm themed card.




After colouring my image with Copics I created a background using some dies from my stash. Then I used some matching cow themed paper from Doodlebug and added some burlap. I just love how it all came together & I have the perfect little recipient, who is a little farm boy himself!




Farmer Owen comes with the cow image & is available in digi format here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs

Lulu with Easter basket By Cat

Hi everyone! 

Cat here to share with you today a shaker, Easter card using the Image ' Lulu with Easter Basket' 

Which you can buy as a stamp here, or as a digital image here 


To begin the image was coloured with Promarkers on smooth white card.

I'd taken a backing sheet of paper from Papermanias Basic Pattern Pink paper pad and plased on the base card. I then die cut a smaller square with paper from Forever Friends Baby paper pack.

From this smaller square I die cut a hexagon and from a piece of white card I used a larger and a small hexagon die to create a frame. I also die cut a 'Graceful Lace Trim' from Creative Expressions and glue to the top of the smaller square.

I added clear acetate to cover the hexagon shape on the back of the card and glued the frame to the front.

I then added a good sprinkling of sequins on to the base card.

Using double foam layers I place the smaller square card on top making sure the sequins were with in the hexagon shape. Finally I fussy cut and added Lulu, some gems, and an Easter sentiment from Tattered lace.

I hope you like it

Crafty hugs
Keep safe
Cat

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!
