Will You Be My Valentine Viking?

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my Will You Be My Valentine Viking? for my Design Team Inspiration for Paper Nest Dolls. I used Viking Andrew with mustache ties from the Viking Bundle. This bundle has three characters and two animals - Viking Andrew (with and without the mustache ties), Viking Owen, Viking Dragon, and Viking Boar.

The Details of my Card

I had so much fun colouring with my Copic markers this brawny guy in appropriate Viking colours! His colouring even matches another card called My Let’s Go A-Viking Card that I made for Paper Nest Dolls for their New Year’s Day Event. They would make a perfect pair!

For my card, I found some neat digital paper with Viking watercolour images that suited my theme. The Viking ships in the bottom panel were from an invitation in the digital package, and I just cropped it to include only the ships. I then had a choice of which ship to highlight and went with the red/white sail one to match my reds.

Since I plan to give this card to my Hubby, I kept the embellishments minimal with several die-cut hearts for my Valentine theme and a scattering of red rhinestones. I love how the Viking chipboard accents highlight the fun sentiment that I punch out with heart punches.

Queen of Valentines Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here sharing my Queen of Valentines Card using the digital version of Queen of Hearts Ellie. This cute stamp come in both a rubber and a digital version. There is also a Wonderland Bundle that consists of Queen of Hearts Ellie, Emma in Wonderland, Mad Hatter Avery and Mischievous Cat. Love this Bundle! You can also buy them individually. I hope to colour more of them in the future!

For, my card, I knew that I wanted to make a Valentine’s card with this stamp. Something a little different. Hence the Queen of Valentines! I coloured sweet Ellie with my Copic markers and added Glossy Accents and Stardust Stickles in certain places to make her sparkle. The Down the Rabbit Hole paper was perfect for my card with all the crowns! I have had this Hearts Border Die forever and thought it reminded me of the Queen’s garden of roses in the book, but with hearts instead. I had fun creating my playing cards using a die from the Stamp Anniething, but it is easy enough to create them using other rectangle and heart dies. Of course, you have to have a Queen of Hearts playing card along with an Ace of Hearts and the “back” of a third card using the Valentine Paper with all the Valentine words. A die cut heart, white rick-rack, red/white twine, red rhinestones and a card charm tie this theme all together!

Raccoon Love Letter by Noelene

Hi all,

Noelene back again today to share with you a cute Valentine's card I created. For my project I am using the sweet Paper Nest Dolls image called Raccoon Love Letter.

I first cut out this envelope shaped box card S.V.G. file using my Silhouette cutting machine to create. I enlarged my image large enough to fit in front of the envelope. I printed it on plain paper first to make sure it fits neat & not waste my blending paper. The original image has the envelope, but I trimmed this off. 

Once coloured, I glued my image onto my front of the envelope box card. 

Isn't he the sweetest!

Raccoon Love is available in digital format here or in rubber in a set of 3 here which include 2 other adorable raccoon stamps.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs

Sending Love Treat Box

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here sharing my Sending Love Treat Box for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls using Emma with Heart Balloon.

Time for something a little different than a card! Do you give your Sweetie treats for Valentine’s Day? If you do, you might like to make a treat box for them.

Isn’t the digital stamp Emma with Heart Balloon so sweet! Perfect for my Valentine Treat Box! I coloured her with my Copic Markers and added Glossy Accents to her balloons and Stardust Stickles to the heart on her top.

For my box, I used a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box from Stampin’ Up! This made a perfect box for holding treats and at the same time easy to assemble. I had fun decorating my box with the super cute Lovebugs paper by Doodlebug! Of course, I had to cover all sides of my box with it including the back!

On the paper, there are some sweet envelopes, so I used a die to cut some mini envelopes in different papers and placed felt heart stickers emerging from them, like my love was being sent in the mail! I place one on the cover and two inside.

For a Valentine box, you need lots of hearts and that is where the doily heart die with the love die cut on it and the cluster of hearts die came in handy. For my belly band, I used ribbon that has Happy Valentine’s Day on it, and I tied into a pretty bow.

Of course, you have to decorate the inside of the box and place lots of treats in it! Again, I used the Lovebugs paper and cut one of the tags out and popped it up on more of the cute paper! Love the sentiment:

“Loved you yesterday

love you still

always have

always will”

My last two envelopes with the hearts flank the sentiment.

Some finishing touches of rhinestones and Clear Wink of Stella on the hearts on the spine add a bit of sparkle to my project.

Love Struck Emma with Amanda Fitterer

 

Hello there and welcome back to the Paper Nest Dolls blog!  I hope you're having a great week so far!  It's Amanda Fitterer joining you today with this sweet Love Struck Emma card!

To create this card, I printed Emma on 80lb. Neenah Solar White cardstock.  Next, I colored her in with the Copic markers. 

Hair:  Y23 and YR30  |  Skin:  E0000, E000, E00, E21, R20

Rest of image:  R43, R21, R20, R30, G21, G20, E31, E42, E41, E40

Once I got her all colored in, I started creating my layers using patterned paper, dies, a paper trimmer, and a rounded edge punch.

For my sentiment, I used Natural My Favorite Things ink and Heffy Doodle Bold Banner Sentiments.

The last step is to adhere my layers together!  I also added a few hearts!

Thank you so much for stopping by The Paper Nest Dolls blog today!  Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week!  Xoxo, Amanda
