New Release - Dinosaurs!

Hi PND Fans! It's Betty here today.  Paper Nest Dolls came out with the cutest dinosaur stamp set called Dino Party Set. This fabulous set comes with 4 dinosaurs, a saber toothed tiger, a hatching egg, a set of 2 eggs, a volcano, and a palm tree. These stamps are available in digital format and in red rubber.

The birthday card I'm sharing today features one of the dinosaurs, the hatching egg, the volcano, and the palm tree. I used the digital stamps so that I can make the stamps into the sizes I needed. After printing the stamps, I colored them with Copic markers, then fussy cut them out.

Copic markers used:

Dinosaur:

Green: G17, G01, G14, YR23, YR21

Blue: BG07, BG05, BG02, BG01

Hatching Egg:

Purple: BV29, V17, V15, V12, BV000

Yellow: YR27, YR24, Y19, Y18, Y13

Green: G17, G05, G14, YG23

Gray: C7, C5, C3

Volcano:

Brown: E49, E47, E44, E43

Red: R08, R05, R02

Palm Tree:

Green: G17, G05, G14, YG23

Brown: E18, E17, E13, E11

White gel pen to add some white dot highlights.

To create the sky, I used a clouds stencil from Stamp Anniething and inked it with Distress Oxide ink in Abandoned Coral. The rocky mountains are created using a mountains stencil from Stamp Anniething and inked with Distress Oxides in Gathered Twigs. After inking, I splattered water on the oxide inks and then blotted it with a paper towel. I then used a wonky stitched rectangle die from Gina Marie Designs to cut out this panel.

I adhered the volcano and the palm tree using liquid glue and used double-sided foam tape for the two dinosaurs. I created and printed the sentiment on my computer and cut it to size then added a brown cardstock mat and adhered it to the card front.

I used a stitched rectangular die from Scrappy Boy Stamps to cut out a white cardstock mat then adhered it onto a top folding A2 white card base. Then I adhered the card front to the mat and added a few enamel dots to finish the card.

This is such a cute and fun set of stamps! I hope you give this a try. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a creative day! ~Betty~

All You Need is Love and a Dog

Hello PND Fans! Betty here today! My favorite classic movie is the Wizard of Oz so when I saw this stamp called Avery in Oz from Paper Nest Dolls, I just had to make a card to go with a gift for a friend that just got a new puppy. This stamp comes in both red rubber and in digital formats. I used the digital stamp so that I can make it the size I want.

I first printed the digital stamp, colored it with Copic markers, then fussy cut her out.

Copic markers used:

Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000

Cheeks: E93

Hair: E59, E57, E55, E53

White: C5, C3, C1, 0

Blue: B28, B24, B23, B21

Red: R29, R24, R22

Basket: YR24, YR23, YR21

Dog fur: E33, E31, E30, W3

Dog nose: W4, W2

White gel pen for stripes on dress

I cut out the card front using an A2 Scalloped Edge Die from Scrappy Boy Stamps and used Distress Oxide Ink in Tumbled Glass and a cloud stencil from Stamp Anniething to create the clouds. I used Distress Oxide in Mowed Lawn to create the grass. I used Distress Oxide in Squeezed Lemonade and Wild Honey and a brick stencil from Stamp Anniething to create the yellow brick road then cut it out using a hill die. At this time, I used my stamp positioner to stamp the sentiment from Penny Black.

I used a rainbow and cloud die from Sonoran Desert Crafts and colored the rainbow using Copic markers R29, YR16, Y15, G05, and B24. Everything is adhered using liquid glue, except for Avery, where I used double-sided adhesive foam tape. I adhered this card front onto a white mat that I cut out using a double stitched A2 die from Gina Marie Designs. I then adhered this onto an A2 top folding card base.

Such a fun stamp to color and card to make. I hope you give this one a try! Thank you for visiting and have a crafty day! ~Betty~

Happy Halloween! Avery with Jack-o-Lantern

Hello there!  It's Amanda Fitterer here and today I'm sharing a Halloween card!  I used the Avery with Jack-o-Lantern digital stamp and printed her on 80lb Neenah Solar White cardstock.  

 

I colored this sweet Avery with Copic markers.

Skin:  E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Hair:  E55, E53, E50, YR30, Y23

Dress:  B91, B93, B95, B97

Bow and Socks:  V17, V15, V13

Shirt:  YG00, YG21, YG25, YG17

Jack-o-Lantern:  Y13, YR12, YR14, YR16, YR27, E29, E57, E23

Boots:  E23, E25, E27

For the background, I used Simon Says Stamp Clouds for Days Stencil and Heffy Doodle Green Fields Stencil.  I also used Heffy Doodle's Grassy Lass Dies.  The sky is Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide and the hills and grass are a blend of Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron.

Using 3D foam squares and strips, I adhered my sentiment, grass, and Avery to the front of the card.  I also used some patterned paper and colored cardstock to create multiple layers for my card base.  I cut out some orange hearts from one of the pieces of patterned paper and adhered them to the card using 3D foam squares.

Thank you so much for stopping by the Paper Nest Dolls blog!  I hope you enjoyed my post and feel crafty inspiration!  Xoxo, Amanda

I May Need More Coffee

Hey everyone, Jammie here, just popping in between cups of coffee to show you the card I made this morning.....

I colored most of the image live yesterday in the Sweet Sentiment group on facebook.  (https://www.facebook.com/jammie.clark.731/videos/374182133189241/)  Feel free to click the link and watch the replay. 

I made the background by first making a gradient of red Distress Oxide inks then spritzing with water an dabbing that off.  over the top of that I laid a stencil and used the "Ground Espresso" color of Distress Oxide ink. I then embossed the sentiment using Nuvo embossing powder in "Hot Cocoa" and of course added a few half pearls.

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out this sweet little coffee addict!  I'm off to brew another cup now! Lol! Tootles!
