Santa Ellie with Gift

Hello everyone!

I apologize I'm a little late getting the post up today. For your inspiration, I'm sharing a card I made for Christmas for Paper Nest Dolls featuring "Santa Ellie with Gift" which is available also as a digital stamp! I hope that you like it!

I colored the image with my copic markers and paired her with the new Doodlebug Design "Milk & Cookies" line. I also added a Cottage Cutz Reindeer Ornament die cut and Lawn Fawn's "Merry Christmas Border" die cut from my stash plus some wooden snowflakes to embellish.

I hope that I've inspired you to get started for next year or finish up those holiday cards! Have a wonderful New Years weekend! Be on the look out for a new challenge coming soon over at The Paper Nest Dolls Challenge Blog!

Holiday Friends

Happy Monday Everyone!

I'm here with my next inspiration for Paper Nest Dolls using "Holiday Friends", which is also available in digi! I hope that you like what I've created with it!

I colored the image with my copics as usual. You can't really tell from the pictures, but there is some clear sparkle on the white parts of the image. I also used some Nuvo Script Brush pens to write the sentiment. I cut her out using a Lawn Fawn die set from my stash. The designer cardstock I used on this is from a Kaisercraft line called "Christmas Wishes" and I used some enamel embellishments by My Mind's Eye. I inked the edges in various colors of Lawn Fawn's mini inks. I added some heart trim and a bow I made from my stash as well.

Happy Satuday My Besties Fans!

I'm here to share with you my newest creation for Scrapbook Stamp Society using "Scan032 Ella Bella Buttons Garden" Digital Stamp from the shop! I hope that you like what I've created with her. I went for a Fall theme since it's definitely getting chilly in the mornings in my area over in Oregon!

I colored the image with my copic markers and used some pretty fall patterned paper by Echo Park Paper and Lawn Fawn. I layered the papers using glue dots and glue pop dots for added dimension. I cut the image out using a "Scalloped Circles" Die by CC Designs. The brown circle was free hand with some fiskars scissors. I added some paper flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts/I am Roses, some washi tape and glitter enamel dots by Doodlebug Design to embellish the card. For the final touch, I inked the edges in Distress Ink "Vintage Photo" and added a sentiment from Stamping Bella's "Patricia Loves Pumpkins" Stamp Set.
