Happy Mother's Day Card Using Lulu with Peony

 Hi PND Fans! It's Betty and I am getting a jump start on getting a few Mother's Day cards done. When I saw this beautiful digital stamp from Paper Nest Dolls called Lulu with Peony, I instantly knew it was going to be made into a Mother's Day card. I added some patterned paper, flowers, and a bow to make this beautiful card.

To make this A6 size card, I first printed the digital stamp 3-3/4" tall and colored it with Copic markers.

Copic markers used:

Skin: E13, E11, E21, E00, E000

Cheeks: E93

Hair: E37, E35, E33, E31

Blue: B97, B95, B93, B91

Green: G16, YG09, YG06

Orange: R08, R14, R02

I used my paper trimmer to cut the colored stamp rectangular to the size of 3"W x 4"H. I then matted it with a cobalt blue cardstock, leaving 1/8" border. The background orange paper is an older paper from my stash. I also matted it with the cobalt blue cardstock. Before adhering these strips down, I added a strip of satin ribbon. I cut out two strips of patterned paper at 1-1/2"W x 5-1/4"H from the Summertime paper pack from Echo Park. I staggered them and adhered them to the card. I then adhered the colored stamp.

I added some flowers from I Am Roses to the front of the card. I adhered them to the card with hot glue. Next, I created the Happy Mother's Day sentiment on my computer, printed it, trimmed it, and matted it with the cobalt blue cardstock then adhered it to the card. To finish the card, I added a double loop bow to the card. 

Thank you for visiting today and I hope you a wonderful and creative day! ~Betty~

Little house of Fairies

Hi friends!

Pam here with you today to share a super fun little project I have been working on.

I have been wanting to create a little flip album for quite some time, and these adorable little sweethearts from the Fairy Set were so perfect for this project.  I love all things girly and pink!

My inspiration came from a project I saw online when ordering my paper.  

Once I decided which elements I wanted to use from the Fairy Set, I printed them on X-Press It Blending Card and started coloring.

~Copics~
Skin: E13, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair Combinations: 100, E70, E59, E57, E55 / E29, E27, E25, E23, E99 / E55, E53, E51, E50
Teals: BG15, BG13, BG11, BG00

Oranges: YR18, YR16, YR15, Y18
Wings: BG0000, BG000, RV0000

Pinks: RV55, RV02, RV00, RV0000
Grays: W7, W5, W3, W2, W1, W0
Greens: YG17, YG03, YG01, YG00

The pages are shown in the order that I have them in the album.

The mushroom shape was cut out with my Cameo Silhouette. I started with 5 white pages and added the layers to each side of the page. Embellishments were added with various dies I have. Lots of dies that haven't seen love in a long time...lol!

I layered some of the flowers, adding enamel dots in various sizes to the centers of the flowers.

Every smart fairy knows they need a back door...cuz you never know when you need to sneak away...lol!!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Until next time - Pam

When Life Gives You A Rainy Day, Play In The Puddles by Noelene

 Hello crafty friends, Noelene back today to share some inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls.

For my card today I have chosen the image called "Rainy Day Owen."

He was such a fun & cute image to colour. 

Before I coloured my image with Copics, I firstly used the masking technique & shaded the background with some distress ink. This was a first for me so I will definitely practice more in the future.

   

Copics:

Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, R20

Hair: E41, E43, E44, E47

Clothes & Duck: Y11, Y15, Y19, B12, B14, B16, B18

Boots & Boat: R24, R27, R29

Puddle: B000, B00, B01

For my card I started with a 5x7 base then topped with some pretty yellow gingham paper. I then stuck my coloured image on top using some double sided tape for dimension & embellished with some clear crystals.

Rainy Day Owen is available in digi here. 

Thanks for stopping by!

From the Herd Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my From the Herd Birthday Card using Down on the Farm by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. This bundle comes with 15 digital stamps including 5 dolls, horse, cow, pig, ewe, chicken coop, tractor, hay, corn, sunflowers and so many more.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a slimline card to fit my characters. So, I used my new Picket Fences Diecutting System with the circle dies since one was a fence and the other was grass. Perfect for my farm card! I die cut the fence out of some paper that looked like wood. I added sky paper behind the cow and horse but added a farmer’s field paper behind the girl and pig. To add to my farm theme, I use some wooden boards paper to create my vignettes of the scenes. I wanted the girl and pig to stand out. So, I placed them in front of everything on the die cut grass that has the stamped sentiment. Don’t you just love the sentiment, “Happy Birthday from the Herd. Lol!

This set has over 15 stamps; which includes 5 dolls, 4 farm animals, a tractor, a chicken coop, a tractor, some flowers, and more! Many stamps to create lots of cards, scrapbook pages, and party decorations. I created a birthday card using the farmer and the animals and added a custom sentiment.

• Sheep 1"

• Horse 1-3/4"

I colored the stamps with Copic markers and then fussy cut them out.

I adhered the colored images onto the card front using double-sided adhesive tape. I adhered the sun using liquid glue.

To finish the card, I created a sentiment in Microsoft Word, printed it, trimmed it, and added a mat that I inked in Oxide Inks in Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey. I adhered it to the card front with liquid glue and the card was finished.

My Winter Wonderland Mixed Media Piece

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing My Winter Wonderland Mixed Media Piece using Eskimo Ellie by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Project. We are still in the depths of winter here is Canada. So, I thought I would make something pretty to brighten the last of the winter days.

The Details of My Project

I decided to create a Mixed Media piece. Something that I haven’t done before but have always wanted to create. So, I pulled out my 8” x 10” Gel Printing Plate, my Distress Paints and brayer and went to town. Once I had paint laid down and before it dried, I stamped several different stamps to add interest to my background piece. I placed my mixed media paper over the gel plate and pulled several prints from it.

Once everything was dried, I added some shimmery embossing paste using a stencil. I then splattered some paint all over with my splatter brush.

I trimmed down my print, framed it with a matching blue card stock and glued it to my painted wooden frame. Then, I added my “snow” and snowflake dies. Next came, the white embossed sentiment which used the same blue card stock as the frame. I fussy cut my Copic coloured images and used a die cut iceberg to help ground them. A scattering of rhinestones added more shimmer to the piece.

Thinking of You by Noelene

Hi all, Noelene back today to share some D.T inspiration. 

Did you know the Paper Nest Dolls has an adorable new set called Down on the Farm?

Today I have created a card using one of the images from the set called Sunflowers.

This was a simple card to make. After I coloured my image I used a die to cut the scalloped rectangle frame. I then layered this on a border of vellum & placed onto 2 layers to create my rectangle base. Lastly I added the sentiment & some sprinkles to embellish.

Copics:

Flower Petals: Y15, Y38, E08, E13, E71, E74, E77

Leaves: G07, YG11, YG25

Make sure you check out the rest of the adorable Down on the Farm set, which consists of cute PND farmers, farm animals, a tractor & much more!

Down on the Farm set is available in digi here. Rubber set coming soon!
