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.

Snow Globe Bundle: Warm Winter Wishes

Hello Paper Nest Dolls fans! Betty here on the blog. Ever since I was a kid, I've always loved snow globes. They are just fun to shake and so pretty to watch as the snow comes down. I just love the stamps from the Snow Globe Bundle by Paper Nest Dolls. This bundle comes with 10 stamps that include images and sentiments, all for $10 for a limited time!

To make this A2 top folding card, I first printed the stamp at 3-1/4"W x 3-3/4"H and colored it with Copic markers. I then fussy cut the image leaving a small white border.

Copic Markers used:

Penguin

Black: N9, N5, N3, N1

White: N4, N1, 0

Yellow: Y38, Y35, Y32

Blue Green: BG18, BG15, BG13,BG10

Pink: RV66, RV55, RV63

Brown: E37, E35, E31

snow & Snow globe glass (blue): B01, B00, B000

The patterned papers I used are from Carta Bella and Photoplay. They were perfect for a wintery card. 

I hope you give this snow globe card a try! Digital stamps are so easy to work with and you can make them any size you want. 

Thank you for visiting today. Have a creative week!

My Fa La La Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Fa La La Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Snow Globe Bundle. This Bundle includes a clear snow globe with a selection of images and labels for the holiday season. I love the versatility of this bundle since you can interchange the images in the globe or use the images by themselves.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to use the singing snow people without the globe. They are just too cute, and I had the perfect Fa La La die for them. In fact, I had two Fa La La dies. Lol! The cover plate behind them and the red glimmer falala.

I pulled the colours of the DSP to colour my snow people in a red and a blue/green. I used my favourite technique for their snow bodies where I use two light makers along the edges and then use my colourless blender to soften the transition between the colour and the paper. The same technique was used for their song books.

Since these cuties are singing, I had to add some musical notes floating up from them! Some glimmery snowflakes and snowbank add even more sparkle to my card. The finishing touch was Star Dust Stickles on their hat trim and the hearts.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas by Noelene

 Hello crafty friends, Noelene with you today!

Today is the day of another new release from the Paper Nest Dolls. It is called Christmas Eve & is a Christmas build a nest bundle, so I am showcasing a card I made using some of the elements.

Once I was happy with how my scene looked I printed it out & coloured with Copics. I then cut layers of cardstock to create a 5x7 card.

For my scene I have used the fireplace, sleeping kitty, presents, stockings & Santa from the bundle. When I put the images together it reminded me of one of my favourite all time Christmas books, so I created the sentiment on my computer using the first verse. 

Copics:

Santa & Stockings: C5, R22, R24, R27, R29, W00, W0, W1, W2, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, E35, Y18

Mantle & Presents: C5, R22, R24, R27, R29, E35, Y18

Candles: YR09, Y15, E50, E51, E53, E55

Fireplace: W1, W3, W4, W5, W6

Cat:C0, C1, C3, C4, R30

The bundle comes with 11 digital stamps to make the perfect scene on your projects.

The Christmas Eve is available in digi here.

Joy to the World Card

 

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my Joy to the World Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Penguin Joy.

The Details of My Card

The Penguin Joy digital stamp comes horizontal, but I thought it would be fun to fussy cut them out and place them vertical like the penguin is balancing the letters. Then, I decided to create a slimline shaker card! Who doesn’t love a fun shaker card!

The slimline cloud die was perfect backdrop for my scene! I just had to add a snowbank that the penguin could balance on and that I could stamp my sentiment. Of course, I had to have some die cut snowflakes falling like on the DSP and to mirror the snowflake sequins. To add more shimmer, I adhered rhinestones to the centre of the die cut snowflakes.

Caroling Snow Men - Snow Globe Bundle by Noelene

  Hello crafty friends, Noelene back again today!

 The count down for Christmas has begun & the Paper Nest Dolls have released a new set just in time called Snow Globe Bundle. For today's inspiration I am sharing the snowmen image from the set.

I created my card with a 6x6 base. To colour I started off by shading the background with some distress ink over my masked image, then die cut a border across the top, once colouring was complete.  I then added some Fran-Tage embossing enamel for a raised snow effect & a couple of snowflake stickers to embellish. Lastly I placed my cut image onto my base using foam tape to make it dimensional.

Copics: 
 Clothes: C0, C1, V000, V01, V04, RV0000, RV000, RV00, RV02, BG10, BG11, BG15
Snowmen & Books: YR14, YR16, YR18, C0, C01, C3

I love the versatility of this set as you can use the images on their own as I did or use them placed inside the snow globe image for a snow globe scene.

Make sure you check out the rest of the adorable Snow Globe Bundle set, which consists of a selection of cute Christmas PND images, including Santa, Snow Men, Penguins & much more!

The Snow Globe Bundle set is available in digi here.

Happy Hauntings Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my Happy Hauntings Halloween Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Secret Girl Emma.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a Halloween card and colour her with my Copic markers like Coraline in the movie. But Emma would be great for Spring, back to school, birthday and so many more occasions!

I had to add a spooky spider web panel with a glittery spider on it. The openings of the spider web allowed me to add some bootackular paper behind it! Lol! I thought it would be fun having her walking by a graveyard as she is trick-or-treating. The sentiment is from the Chit Chat and I just cut off the pointy speech bubble part to make it non-directional and more like a sentiment.

The Halloween candy banner was perfect for my card since she is trick-or-treating! A couple of sprinkles to match her jacket/boots and a black rhinestone were all the other embellishments this card needed.
