North Pole Mini Reindeer by Noelene

 Hello Crafty Friends, Noelene back today with some D.T. inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls.  As this month comes to an end I am sharing one last Christmas in July card.

I decided to go with my favourite PND reindeer called "North Pole Mini Reindeer". 

I coloured my image then cut out to create a clean & simple card on a 5x7 frame base. I die cut the Merry sentiment 3 times & clued the layers for some dimension then adhered it onto my card. Lastly I added the Christmas sentiment using foam tape. 

Copics:

Reindeer: E18, E51, E53, E55, E57, E70, E71, E74, E77, R30

Scarfe: BG90, BG93, BG96

Nose: R27, R29

"North Pole Mini Reindeer" is available in digital stamp here. 

He is also part of the North Pole set which consists of 7 images that you can purchase in rubber here or in digital here. 

Supplies:

Stamp: Paper Nest Dolls - "North Pole Mini Reindeer"

Stamp: MFT - Birdie Brown Greetings Galore

Colouring Medium: Copics

My Sliding Santa Card

 
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Sliding Santa Card for Christmas in July and as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the Vacation Santa Set. There are 7 stamps, which include Surfer Santa, Ice-cream Santa, Santa with Reindeer Floatie, Santa & Mrs. Claus, Palm Tree and Flamingo & Gifts, that come in both rubber and digital stamps. I made a card with Ice-cream Santa from this set as well and will include a link to it at the end of this post.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create fun interactive slider card using Santa with Reindeer Floatie. I had so much fun colouring this cutie with my Copic markers! I added some white Gelly Roll Pen to his floatie and Rudolph’s nose to give them a shine.

Next, I wanted to see the different layers of the papers behind him. So, I used two different slimline die sets. I picked a water-like paper for the slider piece as if he is going down a river twirling around like at one of those amusement parks. Lol! I kept the cut-out piece from the slider die and glued it through the hole onto the layer below it so that you couldn’t see the orange layer below. This added to my pool like feel.

I used some slider discs to create my slider, but in the past, I have also used pennies. I made sure that my dimensionals were round so that I could get him spinning around.

I decorated my card using some Christmas Chit Chat pieces. I popped up the sentiment ones making sure that my Santa would not get caught on them. A couple of matching glitter dots were added to add some sparkle.

Santa on Vacation Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing my Santa on Vacation Card for Christmas in July and as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Vacation Santa Set. There are 7 stamps, which include Surfer Santa, Ice-cream Santa, Santa with Reindeer Floatie, Santa & Mrs. Claus, Palm tree and Flamingo & Gifts, that come in both rubber and digital stamps.

The Details of My Card

For my card, I decided to create a summer beach scene with Santa enjoying his ice cream! I coloured Santa and the palm tree with my Copic Markers. I love that he has a candy cane in his ice cream! Lol! I added Glossy Accents to his glasses and the light bulbs on the palm tree. For the palm tree, I used Clear Star Gelly Roll Pen to make the star sparkle and Silver Gelly Roll Pen on the wires for the lights.

Next, onto the scene building! The sky was created with watercolor paper and blending two blue Distress Oxide Inks onto it with my blending brush. Then, I used my splatter brush to splatter water to create some texture. Once that was done, I die cut some sand dunes and embossed them to give them the texture of sand. Finally, the sun and cloud were added to finish off my scene.

For the sentiment, I wanted just “Merry and Bright” even though the sentiment was “May Your Days be Merry and Bright”. So, I used Scotch Tape (you could also use a post-it note) to mask off the text that I didn’t want. Remember to remove the tape before you stamp though! Once the sentiment was stamped, I heat embossed it in white and die cut it out.

My beachy scene was added to a piece of Make A Splash paper that had palm trees in a bright greens and blue sky to mirror my scene.

The only embellishments added were some red rhinestones scattered around my focal point.

My Dino Birthday Party Cards

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! Paper Nest Dolls is celebrating their 10^th birthday this year! So, I am sharing two birthday cards to celebrate! My Dino Birthday Party Cards are my Design Team Inspiration Cards using Dino Party Amara and Dino Party Owen by Paper Nest Dolls. Don’t you think these two stamps go so perfectly together!

The Details of My Cards

I had debated about placing them on the same card, but in the end decided to go with two different cards with the same party theme using boy and girl matching papers. So, the Doodlebug papers were perfect with those gorgeous bright colours! I used the same coordinating papers from each paper pack such as the cupcakes, the Happy Birthday, the sweets, and confetti.

Once I decided on the papers, I coloured Owen and Amara in bright colours with my Copic markers to match it.

For my Amara card, I decided to create a regular A2 card with lots of layers in greens and pinks to match my colouring. I included some fun banners and a balloon since it’s a birthday card.

For my Owen card, I decided to create a different shaped card. Again, I used lots of layers, this time in blues, but with a mini slimline card layout. I used the same banners and balloon to match Amara’s card, but with different dies for the background.

The sentiments for both cards came from the Simple Strips - Birthday by Taylored Expressions. I love that you can stamp 18 sentiments at once and die cut them all out at the same time!

Clear Wink of Stella was added to the party hats and the pink ribbon on Amara’s dino. For Owen’s cupcake, I added white gelly pen sprinkles to his cupcake. The finishing touch was adding sequins to both the cards since sequins say birthday party to me! Lol!
