Avery with Snowman

Hello crafty friends!  It's Amanda Fitterer here!  I hope your Christmas was amazing!  I can't believe it's over already!  I can't believe that 2020 is almost over!  Craaaazy!  I hope you're all staying healthy and warm!

Today, I'm sharing this card using the Avery with Snowman stamp.



To make this card, I started with printing the digital stamp onto 80# Neenah Solar White cardstock.  I colored the image using Copic markers and then cut the image using scissors.




Next, I made my card base and embellishments using scrapbook paper.  I used 3D foam squares and strips to adhere them to my card front.



Isn't she just SO sweet with her little snowman?  Thank you so much for stopping by the Paper Nest Dolls blog today!  I hope you have a wonderful New Year!  See ya back here in 2021!!

Xoxo, Amanda

Santa's Little Helpers by Noelene

 Hi all,

Noelene here with you today! Yay it's only 1 more sleep to Christmas. I bet Santa's little elves are busy scurrying about frantically getting all the presents loaded for Santa.



Today for my D.T. inspiration I am sharing a Christmas card using a new adorable image called NP Tiny Elf Ellie. I have also added one of my all time favourite Elves called North Pole Mini Elf.



I have coloured my image using Copics & decorated with assorted dies. Both these elves work well with any of the images from the original North Pole Collection.



NP Tiny Elf Ellie is available in digital format here & NP Mini Elf is available in digital format here. 

I hope you enjoyed my Christmas card today!

May you have a Very Merry & Safe Christmas wherever you may be in the world. Sending you lots of blessings of Peace, Joy & Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs

Winter Birthday Card

Hello PND Fans! Betty here with a cute birthday card. I just adore panda bears. I think they are the cutest among all the bears. When I saw this Paper Nest Dolls digital stamp, Emma with Panda, I knew I had to make a birthday card. I decided to make a winter-themed birthday card, since I have several friends that have birthdays in the winter. 



To make this 6" x 6" card, I made the digital stamp 3-3/4"H and let the computer auto-adjust the width so that there is no distortion in the image. Then I printed the stamp, colored it with Copics (colors listed below), added a few white dots with a gel pen, and fussy cut it.

I added die cut white trees and a picket fence. I used gold-mirror cardstock to cut out the stars. I printed the Happy Birthday sentiment then cut it out with a die. I added some pearl embellishments and my card was done. I hope you give this card a try, so easy and fun to make!


Copic markers used:
Hair: E44, E43, E42, E41
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000
Cheeks: R32, R30
Blue: B06, B04, B02, B00, B000
Black: T9, T7, T5, T3
White: T2, T1, Blender


Thank you for stopping by today! If you have questions or comments, please post them below. Have a great day! ~Betty~

Jingle All the Way

Santa Ellie with Gift
Santa Ellie with Gift



Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here sharing my Jingle All the Way Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. I used the updated Santa Ellie with Gift which is only $1 right now! Make sure you get yours at such a great deal!!

I coloured Ellie with my Copic Markers in Santa red and white colours. Isn’t she just the cutest in her Santa outfit! I knew that I wanted to create a shaker card and use some Christmas foil accents. There have been some awesome shaker cards by the PND Design Team, and I was inspired by them to give it a try! Since the Jingle All the Way die cut had bells, I used mini bells from the dollar store for the shaker part. I had to double up my adhesive strips to give the bells enough room to jingle when you shook the card. To tie in those bells, I die cut some larger bells in the red and green foil and then tied 3 bells with linen thread.
