Ellie with Bible

 

Hello there, crafty friends!  Welcome to the Paper Nest Dolls blog!  We are so happy to have you here!  :)

Today, I'm sharing this card I made for my cousin's Confirmation coming up next month.  With Covid, we aren't able to see her receive this sacrament, but her mom asked if we could all send her some cards instead!  I think this sweet Ellie with Bible is perfect for a Confirmation, don't you??

To create this card, I printed the digital image on 80lb. Neenah Solar White cardstock.  I colored her with Copic markers and then cut her out with scissors.

For her skin, I used E000, E00, E21, E11, R20.
For her hair, I used E53, YR30, YR31, and Y32.

For her dress, I used R43, R21, BV02, BV31, and V20.
For the Bible and shoes, I used E42, E41, E40, and E31.

Once I got her cut out, I created some layers using some dies and patterned paper.  I also used Heffy Doodle's Down the Line Sentiments for my "Sending Love" banner.

I adhered everything to my card base and it's ready to be sent off to my sweet cousin!

Thank you again for stopping by the Paper Nest Dolls blog today!!  Xoxo, Amanda

Raccoon Smooch - Hugs & Kisses

Hello! Betty here with a cute Valentine's Day card.Valentine's Day cards are my favorite cards to make. I love using hearts and red is my favorite color. I am using one of my favorite stamps from Paper Nest Dolls called Raccoon Smooch. This stamp comes in a set of three stamps in red rubber or you can buy this particular one in digital format. 

I used Copic markers to color this stamp. So easy to color since it's only two color blends, gray and red! Colors are listed below.

Copic markers used:

Gray: W6, W5, W4, W3, W1, Blender

White: W3, W1, Blender

Red: RV17, RV14, RV13, RV11

This is a 6" x 6" card. I matted this card with patterned paper that I've had in my stash for years. I used heart dies and cut out a few different size hearts, a bow die, and a paper doily. No bow die? Just use ribbon. I typed up the sentiment, Hugs & Kisses, using MS-Word and printed it out. 

A fun, quick, and easy card to make and mass produce and the stamp makes it the cutest Valentine's Day card! Thank you for stopping by today. Have a great day! ~Betty~

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
