ZOINKS! Happy Birthday

Hi PND Fans! It's Betty here...My all time favorite cartoon growing up was a group of kids and their Great Dane dog, so when Paper Nest Dolls came out with this set of stamps, called Doll Detectives, I couldn't just color just one of the stamps, I had to color them all! This awesome stamp bundle comes in red rubber and in digital formats! I used the digital formats so that I can make them the size I needed for my slimline easel card.


To make this slimline easel card, I first printed the two girls and the two boys at 3-3/4" tall. The dog is 2" tall and the bus is 2-3/4" tall. I colored all the images with Copic markers and the sandwich with Prismacolor pencils then fussy cut them.

To make the slimline easel card, use the following measurements as shown below. There are two cut lines and the rest are score lines. I did my measurements and marked it with pencil, then I used a steel ruler and craft knife to make my cut lines. You can also use a rotary or blade paper trimmer that has grid lines and measurements to make your cuts. For this card, start with a sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock. Cut off 1/2" of the 11" side so that the cardstock measures 8-1/2" x 10-1/2". Make the following cut and score lines:


After making the cut and score lines, fold the easel to look like this: 


I downloaded and printed some free digital patterned paper from Freepik to decorate the card. I thought this flower pattern was perfect for the card. I matted the patterned paper with turquoise cardstock. I used liquid glue to adhere all the images onto the card. I created and printed the sentiment on my printer, then trimmed it. I added a turquoise cardstock mat behind it.
This was such a fun card to make! These stamps are just so cute! Great for scrapbooking too! 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a creative week!

Happy Holidays from Eskimo Ellie

Hi PND Fans. It's Betty here today. Paper Nest Dolls came out with quite a few new releases for December and I just love this little Eskimo girl named Eskimo Ellie. She reminded me of my daughter when she was little. I used the digital stamp, but it also comes in red rubber (will be out soon). I made a holiday card, but this stamp can be used for many other occasions. 


For this A6 card, I first printed the stamp 3-1/2" tall then I colored her with Copic markers. To make the fur trim around her clothing, I used a white gel pen and drew in some wacky lines. I trimmed the paper to 2-3/4"W x 4-1/8"H then matted it with lavender colored cardstock, keeping a 1/8" border. 


Copic markers used:
Skin: E13, E11, E21, E00
Cheeks: R20
Hair: T7, T5, T3
Purple: BV01, BV00, BV000, BV0000
Black boots: T7, T5, T3
Seal: C3, C1, C00
Ice: B01, B000


I used snowflake patterned paper from Hobby Lobby and matted it with lavender colored cardstock, keeping a 1/8" border. 

I created the sentiment using MS-Word, then trimmed it and cut a dovetail. I also added a lavender cardstock mat to the sentiment. 

To finish the card, I added three snowflakes from Hobby Lobby. 


Thank you for stopping by today and hope you give this card a try! It's so easy and fun to color! ~Betty~

Fairytale Princesses by Noelene

 Hello everyone, Noelene back again today. Taking a break from Christmas cards to share my latest card and a fairytale.

Once upon a time there was a little girl who wished for her Aunt to make her a Princesses card with lots & lots of Princesses......





Her Aunt started out with an SVG file for the card base from Doodlebug Design and then cut it out with her Silhouette cutting machine. This card was too large to create as an open card, so a slim line card was attached on the back from the towers to the base to hold up the card.




The Aunt then chose 6 adorable princesses from the Paper Nest Dolls called "Princess and Apple", "Ice Princess", "Princess with Rose", "Princess with Glass Slipper", "Sleeping Princess" and "Polynesian Princess". She Then coloured her princesses up with Copics. Finally to embellish some die cut flowers & shaped sprinkles were added.
