The Spooky Season

Hello Crafty Friends! Happy Halloween! It's Laurie here! I am sharing The Spooky Season using Scary Doll Owen and Scary Doll Emma by Paper Nest Dolls as my Design Team Inspiration Card. I couldn’t resist squeaking in one final Halloween card!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I had to do some research! I’m not a big horror fan. So, I had to google what these characters were and colour them according to the photos online. Lol! I used my Copic markers to colour them and added Glossy Accents to the shovel and the knife. Also, I added silver gelly roll pen to all the metallic trim on Emma’s jacket.

Since I had two stamps to place on my card, I decided to create a slimline card, but I thought it would be fun to use the tag “Tis the Season to be Spooky”. So, I brushed Black Soot along the edges to give it a distressed feel. Next, I added a black mat to the tag and rubbed Brushed Iron wax on the mat, the die cut gates, and the mat of my card to tie them all in together. Once I did that, I placed my sentiment sticking above the card with an iron gate on either side of it with my characters layered in front.

I love the oval dies that I used for the black mat and the Skull and cross bone paper! Such a fun and interesting shape!

For embellishments, I used several bats and black rhinestone stickers, as well as a spider trinket that I placed over the printed spider on the tag. The only other thing that I added was the reverse “Scary” word to the tag. It summed up my card perfectly!

Scary Cute Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my Scary Cute Halloween Card using Vampire Ellie by Paper Nest Dolls as my Design Team Inspiration Card.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I had so much fun colouring Vampire Ellie with my Copic markers! I knew that I wanted to give her black hair and decided to go with a ghoulish green and red since she is a vampire. I made her skin a bit lighter by not using E04 for my shadows to give her a deathly pallor. Lol!

For the balloons, I went with an ectoplasm green like in Ghostbusters and a black for the bat. I used my white gelly roll pen to make bat’s fangs stand out and for the highlights on both balloons. The balloons also had glossy accents add to them to make them look like real balloons. Star Dust Stickles were added to the red bows and red trim of her dress. 

I decided to create a mini slimline card since I wanted to create a spooky graveyard scene with my dies. Of course, if you have a vampire, you must have a moon dripping blood! Lol! So, I stamped the blood drips first before die cutting the moon out. That way the craters on the moon die did not cause voids in the stamped dripping blood. Next, I brushed Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink around the edges of my moon to make it glow.

Then, I die cut the graveyard in Basic Black and Basic Gray to help differentiate the two layers. Don’t you love how the spooky sky and moon show through the gate to the graveyard!

For the sky, I went with some spooky green skulls paper to match my colouring. Plus, they reminded me of all the ghosts in the graveyard.

A couple of black glimmer bats add some sparkle to the sky. The “Scary” sentiment was die cut from red glimmer paper to match my red colouring.

Finally, the finishing touch was a scattering of red rhinestones and black sequins to match my colour scheme.

Happy Hauntings Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my Happy Hauntings Halloween Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Secret Girl Emma.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a Halloween card and colour her with my Copic markers like Coraline in the movie. But Emma would be great for Spring, back to school, birthday and so many more occasions!

I had to add a spooky spider web panel with a glittery spider on it. The openings of the spider web allowed me to add some bootackular paper behind it! Lol! I thought it would be fun having her walking by a graveyard as she is trick-or-treating. The sentiment is from the Chit Chat and I just cut off the pointy speech bubble part to make it non-directional and more like a sentiment.

The Halloween candy banner was perfect for my card since she is trick-or-treating! A couple of sprinkles to match her jacket/boots and a black rhinestone were all the other embellishments this card needed.

Have a Haunted Halloween

Hello PND Fans! Betty here today. Have you ever visited a haunted house? When I was in high school, my friends and I went to a Halloween haunted house and it was so scary! It was the last time I went to one. I don't like being scared and this is also the reason I avoid horror movies! However, I don't mind cute scary things, like this adorable "Frankie" stamp from Paper Nest Dolls. This stamp comes in red rubber and in digital formats.

Supplies used:

• Frankie digital stamp
• Perfect Pearls in Mint, Perfect Pearl, and Perfect Gold
• Graveyard Gate die and sentiment:  Stampin' Up-Graveyard Gate

Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils used:

Hair: BV08, BV13, BV11 + Prismacolor: PC932, PC938

Orange: YR18, YR16, YR12

Yellow: Y19, Y15, Y13

White: N3, N1, 0

For the background, I mixed Perfect Pearls with water to create some glitter watercolors and painted the sky and moon on black Bristol paper. I wanted to create an eerie, scary feeling for a haunted Halloween card. I added the graveyard gate to the scene. 

I hope you give this card a try! It's a cute and fun card to make. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a Happy Halloween! ~Betty~

My Pop & Twist Halloween Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing My Pop & Twist Halloween Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls. I was honoured to have been asked to present my colouring and a project this past weekend for the Paper Nest Dolls’ Not So Spooky Magical Weekend! So, I created a tag for the event, but I had so much fun that I created a card using the stamps from the retreat and based it on my tag with a twist!

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a Pop & Twist card. I love how when you open the card, the stamps on the inside fold out and pop up!

The front of the card was based on the tag that I presented with a few tweaks to fit the card size.

The inside was where all the magic happened as you open the card! When I saw these cute critters, I knew I wanted to create a twist and pop card!

I used very little decorations on the inside since I wanted the card to fold as flat as possible, but I couldn’t resist some glittery bats and Halloween words.

Tombstone Treat Boxes

Happy Halloween Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! Today I am sharing My Tombstone Treat Boxes as my Design Team Inspiration for Paper Nest Dolls using Ragdoll Sally.

I had a lot of fun colouring this cutie with my Copic Markers! In fact, I coloured her skin in three different tones. So, I created a poll in The Paper Nest Dolls Inspiration Facebook Group on which skin tone was the most popular. The most popular green skin tone was used to create a card (Link to it here), but I couldn’t resist colouring the other two to create my treat boxes.

Since it’s Halloween what better way to celebrate with treat boxes to give out to all those cute trick-or-treaters! The Stampin’ Up! Tombstone Treat Boxes were so fun to decorate with lots of little bits from my stash! And the finishing touch was my coloured Ragdoll Sallys!

Birthday Slimline Shaker Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! Today I am sharing My Birthday Slimline Shaker Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the Ragdoll Sally. Every year, my Hubby and I watch Nightmare Before Christmas for Halloween. It’s also my Hubby’s birthday on Thursday and I thought a birthday card with Ragdoll Sally would be perfect for him.

I had a lot of fun colouring this cutie with my Copic Markers! In fact, I coloured her skin in three different tones. So, I created a poll in The Paper Nest Dolls Inspiration Facebook Group on which skin tone was the most popular. It turned out that the green skin tone was the winner. So, I used her for my card.

Of course, I also coloured the others and created Halloween treat boxes with them which I plan to share later this week.

For my card, I decided to create not only a slimline card, but a shaker card with glow in the dark moons! So fun! I know my Hubby will get a kick out of it! I found this cool graphic on Etsy for Nightmare Before Christmas. So, I used my Silhouette Cameo to tweak it to fit my shape and then die cut it out. The moon paper was 6” x 6”, but since I only needed it for the top half of my card, I trimmed it down to fit.

The Happy Birthday sentiment was printed out on my computer using Word and the Viner Hand ITC font. I created a collage of different items around the sentiment including the glittery spider web and spider trinket. Don’t you love the pop of green that the mesh created at the bottom of the card to mirror her skin and the Lavinia moon paper!

Perfectly Wicked Interactive Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Today I am sharing Perfectly Wicked Interactive Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the Evil Fairy.

I was honoured to have been asked to present at the Paper Nest Dolls’ Party with the Villains Virtual Weekend Retreat that was this past weekend. I had so much fun creating my cards for the event that I made an extra one that I thought I would share with you today. The other cards that I presented at the Retreat will be posted at the end of this post.

To get in the mood and for inspiration, I just had to watch the movies both the live action and the cartoon! Any excuse to watch Disney is a good excuse in my books! Lol!

For this card, I coloured the Evil Fairy with my Copic Markers to matched the Disney cartoon. I have been wanting to use the Give a Whirl Dies from Stampin’ Up! and thought it would be perfect for my card! It is so fun to spin that little dial and see all the fun sentiments! These sentiments… “Perfectly Wicked!” and “Bad Girls Have More Fun!” …were created in Word. I added one of the digital papers behind them to blend in with the paper that I used on my card base. Since the Evil Fairy turns into a dragon at the end of the movie, I couldn’t resist adding a bright green dragon with a dusting of Black Soot on its edges. A castle and a few stars that were brushed with the Aged Brass were the only other elements that I added to my card.

Halloween Sign by Noelene

 Hi all,

Noelene here with you today to share with you my latest D.T. inspiration. 

With the current situation around the world at the moment things may be a little different this year with Halloween & how you go about Trick or Treating, but that does not mean you have to miss out on all the fun. 

So for my inspiration today I wanted to share with you an easy project I made for Halloween. I filled an acetate box with some yummy lemon & orange Skittles. I then decorated with some fun Halloween themed paper & ribbon. I finished off with a tag I made using the spook-tac-ular image from Paper Nest Dolls called Halloween Sign. 

There you have it a simple Halloween treat gift!

Halloween sign is available in rubber here & in digi format here.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Goth Family Portrait

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here sharing my Goth Family Portrait for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. This card incorporates 4 different digital stamps that include Goth Dad, Goth Mom, Goth Boy and Goth Girl from the October New Release to create my family portrait!

When I was little, I loved to watch the Addams Family in B&W on TV. I was so excited when I saw this month’s release! I decided to colour the family in the colours from the Addams Family movies. So, I gave them very pale skin, but with dark clothing using only T Copic Markers to achieve the effect. I love the pop of colour with the rose and the alligator. I thought they would want to have their portrait taken in front of some of their ancestors that are hung on the wall. Being a Halloween card, you have to have spider webs with spiders in the corners. I hope you like my take on my family portrait!
