We Believe in Santa


Hello Crafty Friends! Merry Christmas! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my We Believe in Santa as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Christmas Eve Bundle. This Bundle includes 11 Digital Stamps to make the perfect Christmas Eve scene, or fantastic Christmas Cards. I used 7 of them on this card!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I wanted to create a clean and simple Christmas Eve scene and what better way than with a mini slimline card! I used Word to scale and place all my characters where I wanted them and printed it out. Once that was done, I coloured them with my Copic markers. The only thing add was a sentiment that I die cut and popped up with a few rhinestones.

I also added some stickles to Santa’s trim and the Christmas Tree star, as well as, glossy accents to the ornaments and candle flames.

Candy Cane Wishes Card 


Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my Candy Cane Wishes Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the cute Tiny Elf Ellie

The Details of My Card

For my card, I coloured Ellie with my Copic markers in traditional Christmas colours. She went perfectly with the Sweetest Christmas DSP by Stampin’ Up!, plus its theme was candy canes! Couldn’t get better than that!

The diagonal striped Real Red die cut piece allowed the DSP to show through. So, I matched the openings in the die cut to the DSP stripes which added to my candy cane striped theme. Even the die cut candy canes behind the sentiment were from the DSP.

The sentiment “Candy Cane Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses” summed up my card perfectly! I threaded some Garden Green ribbon through the die cuts holes in the sentiment piece. A flat jingle bell trinket tied with white Baker’s Twine mirrored her bell on her hat. I kept the tails of the twine long so that I could make them swirl on the card.

Some Red Rhinestones and Glossy Accents on the Candy Cane added some nice sparkle to the card.

Ice Princess by Noelene

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

Today I am taking a break from Christmas cards as I had a special request from a little person who is turning 7 this month. She was having a Frozen theme birthday party so the image I have chosen to use is called Ice Princess.




If you have been following my work for a while you would know that I have used this adorable image in the past on a card with other Fairytale Princesses, (you will find the original post here), & on a Snowdome project, (for the original post here).

I started with a 6x6 base and put down some glitter cardstock. I then place an embossed sheet of white brushed cardstock. You would have seen this in my last post. I finished off my Winter theme with a shaker on my card. Lastly I glued some flowers to embellish & placed my image on top of some foam squares.




Copics:
Hair: T1, T3, T5
Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E11, E13, R20
Clothes:B0000, B000, B00, B01, B02, B04
Snowman: BG000, B60, C0, C5, C6, Y32, YR15




Although I have created a birthday card, this card could have easily been turned in a Christmas card with a few minor changes.


Ice Princess is available in rubber here & digital stamp here.


Hugs
