Paper Nest Dolls: September 2023

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing My Aloha Santa Card for as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Vacation Santa Set. There are 7 stamps, which include Surfer Santa, Ice-cream Santa, Santa with Reindeer Floatie, Santa & Mrs. Claus, Palm Tree and Flamingo & Gifts, that come in both rubber and digital stamps.

The Details of My Aloha Santa Card

For my card, I thought to create an Aloha card since Hawaii is the perfect place for Santa to take a vacation before his busy time of year! Lol!

Once Santa was coloured with my Copic markers in bright vacation colours, I placed him on a stitched circle cut out from paper that looked like pool water. I thought it would be fun to place the “pool” off-centred on the card and trim a small piece off the one edge.

Don’t you just love the sparkle of the Aloha sticker, and it pulls out the orange that I used in my colouring! Of course, if Santa is in the land of paradise, he needs a sunny day to folic in the pool! Hence the die cut sun behind the Aloha. Lol!

For my card base, I used green DSP for my palm die cut frame and then some orange DSP with flowers behind it to add to my colour scheme. To mirror the palm die cut, I used a paper palm leaf in one corner.

I added some Star Dust Stickles to Santa’s hat trim, white Gelly Roll Pen for the shine on his floatie and Glossy Accents to Rudolph’s nose. Finally, for embellishment, I used a few sprinkles to match the colours of my card.

Hello Crafty Friends, Noelene here today with some D.T. inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls.

Spring has finally come in Australia & I love spending time in my garden & seeing the pretty colours of all the new flowers blooming.

Today I have a Spring themed card to share with you using the pretty PND image called Ellie with Flower Basket .

I created a 6x6 base & layered some pretty papers. I glued some lace ribbon along the bottom for a soft feminine touch. I then placed my coloured image & arranged the die cut pieces. I finished off by adding some flowers & sprinkles to embelish.
