Happiness is Homegrown Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! Spring has finally arrived here! So, I am sharing my Happiness is Homegrown Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Little Chick Emma. 

The Details of My Happiness is Homegrown Card

Don’t you just love Emma in her patchwork dress! So, sweet! I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers in Spring colours to match my papers.

For my card, I decided to use the Simple Stories paper since it had a farm theme, and I loved the soft colours! I had some scraps with chickens left over from a previous project, but not a lot. So, I created two squares and placed them in opposite corners on the blue/green polka dotted card base. Great way to use scraps!

Next, I added a die cut white fence to add some interest to the background.

The sentiment and banner were from the matching Simple Stories Bits & Pieces. The needlepoint look was perfect for Emma with her patchwork dress! An adhesive-backed pink heart on the banner mirrored the pinks in Emma’s dress.

Finally, for embellishments, I added more adhesive-backed hearts and flowers in addition to Star Dust Stickles to the hearts on Emma’s dress.

My Happy Easter Tag

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! Who’s ready for Easter? There is always time for one last Easter tag! So, I am sharing My Happy Easter Tag as my Design Team Inspiration for Paper Nest Dolls using Egg Coloring Lulu. 

The Details of My Happy Easter Tag

I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers in Easter colours to match my Easter paper and card stock.

For my tag, I decided to use several Easter dies including a pink Easter Egg and the reverse Happy Easter words. I also added a purple floral border behind Lulu to make her pop and give some visual interest behind her. I used paper snips to trim the edges of the border piece to fit my round corners of my tag.

Next, I went with a Polka Dot Tulle ribbon since it reminded me of Easter tulle. The Happy Easter ribbon in purple was a perfect colour for the theme of my card! I used some Bermuda Bay Baker’s Twine to tie this all together.

Finally, to add some sparkle, I used Star Dust Stickles on Lulu’s heart on her smock and Wink of Stella on her egg. As well, a scattering of Glossy Dots that matched my colour scheme were placed around the sentiment.

My Easter Egg Hunt Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! Easter is just around the corner. So, I am sharing My Easter Egg Hunt Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Lulu with Easter Basket. 

The Details of My Easter Egg Hunt Card

I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers in Easter colours to match my Easter paper. I just love these soft colours!

For my card, I decided to use the gorgeous Tulip Dies as a backdrop for Lulu. I just bought these dies and was eager to use them! So, I went with white card stock and a soft pink that has some texture on it so as not to detract from Lulu. The sentiment “Easter Egg Hunt” was from the Welcome Easter Paper Pad and perfect for my theme.

To decorate my card, I added die cut Easter eggs that matched the colours of Lulu’s eggs in her basket. Next, I added several Brass Butterflies floating from the focal point.

Finally, to add some sparkle, I used Wink of Stella on Lulu’s eggs, hair bow and basket bow.

My Favorite Song Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It's Laurie here! I am sharing My Favorite Song Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using Decade Collection Roller Skating Ellie. There are ten dolls in the Decade Collection that come in both rubber and digital stamps. You can find all the digital versions here.

The Details of My Favorite Song Card

I had coloured this stamp with my Copic markers a while back…in fact, since I liked her so much, I coloured her twice at the time! Lol! So, I decided to finally get this one onto a card especially since I bought the perfect Walkman dies by My Favorite Things!

For my card, I thought that the Walkman would make a fun shaker. So, I built my Walkman using the dies and even added four layers to the red foam ear pieces to give them some dimension! I used a Window Sheet for where my shaker sequins would go. Once that was built, I added Foam Adhesive Strips between the top and the cassette paper to enclose my sequins. I thought that the cassette paper was a great backing for my Walkman! The skates and disco ball paper behind my focal point was perfect for my theme!

The sentiment was from a retired Stampin’ Up! Stamp Set, but you could easily type this out on your computer and printing it. It was stamped in black ink and die cut out using the Stitched Rectangles.

To add some sparkle to the card, I used Stickles on Ellie’s pompoms on her skates. For the musical notes, I used holographic paper to give them an iridescent look! Very hip for the 80’s. Lol! The final touch was adding Glossy Accents to her Walkman case.

Baby Animal Train by Noelene

 Hello Crafty Friends, Noelene back today with some D.T. inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls. 

 Today I have a baby girl's card to show you, using 3 out of the 5 adorable images in the Baby Animal Train set from PND.

I have used the no lines technique to colour my images up. This is not something I do often as I am not confident to do so, although I love how it turned out! I should try it more often! I then created a simple slimline card with some enamel dots to embelish & finished of with raised sentiments.

Copics:

Violets: BV0000, BV000, BV00, BV02

Yellows: E40, E41, E42, E43, E44

Pinks: RV10, RV11, RV13

Greys: N0, N1, N3, N5

Blues: B21,B23
