THE CRAFTING CHALLENGE DECEMBER

 

I have the honour of Guest Designing for The Crafting Challenge this month, and that came with another opportunity to play with a Paper Nest Dolls image.

This adorable image is called Penguin Joy.

I have coloured the image with Copics.

To add to the JOY sentiment, I've typed up a little tag, cut with a Paper Rose Studio die.  

My papers are from the DCWV Blue Noel paper pack.  I've added a strip of cheesecloth, flowers by Little Birdie, and glittery snowflakes, also by Little Birdie.

Be sure to pop over to The Crafting Challenge, to see what the rest of the team have created to inspire you this month.

I'd like to thank Manuela and the team for inviting me to play along with them!

Thanks for popping in for a look!

PAPER NEST DOLLS CHRISTMAS

 I have the honour of Guest Designing for Paper Nest Dolls today.  Having been on the DT full time, until a few months ago, it has been lovely to create a card with these cuties again.

This adorable image is a combination of two from the Snow Globe Bundle.  The best part, is that you can swap out the contents of the snowglobe with any other image from the collection.

I have coloured the image with Copics and added a few white gel pen dots.  I also wrote the Merry Christmas on the metal plat on the snow globe base.

My paper is from the DCWV White Christmas paper pack.  It had glittery snowflakes all over it.  I've added two ribbons, one in glittery webbing.  My flowers are a mix of I Am Roses, Pink Paislee and Blossoms by Vivaldi.  I've also added two little Carta Bella enamel dots.

There's lots of inspiration to see in the Paper Nest Dolls Facebook group, so be sure to pop over for a look.

Thanks for stopping by today!

PAPER NEST DOLLS SEA WITCH

 

If villains are your thing, you've got to pop over to the Paper Nest Dolls store to see the new Villain Collection!

This is one of the adorable villains: Sea Witch.  She comes with her two evil eels too.

I have coloured the image with Copics and used a Creative Dies wonky stitches die to cut it out, and the same die for one of the papers.

My papers are from the Studio Light Jenine's Mindful Art Collection paper pack.  My flowers are Green Tara and KaiserCraft.

I've used two dies from a Spellbinders set for the die cuts.

I've added a strip of cheesecloth and two bamboo cord strands, which I've tied off with a little bow.  I've finished off with a few pearls.

PAPER NEST DOLLS OWEN WITH VEGETABLE GARDEN

 We have an avid gardener in the family.  He even works at a nursery, and takes these things very seriously!

I've chosen Owen With Vegetable Garden for his birthday card.  I have coloured the image with Copics and used a Poppy Crafts die to cut it out, and another to cut out the sentiment.

The sentiment is a stamp from the Art Impressions Gotta Garden Set.

My papers are from the Carta Bella Farm to Table paper pack, and the wonderful seed box and corn kernels are Darice Miniatures.

PAPER NEST DOLLS MOTORCYCLE OWEN

Father's Day is in September in Australia, and the father I created this for, is into anything with an engine, specifically motorcycles.

The image is called Motorcycle Owen, and I have coloured it with Copics.  I've drawn in a forest background for him, and used a Poppy Crafts die to frame the image.  

My papers are from the DCWV Spiced Cider paper pack.  

I've added some twine and a few Prima Say it in Crystals dots.

I've used two different sentiments for this card.  The top sentiment is a Hunkydory stamp, and the bottom sentiment is an Altenew stamp.

PAPER NEST DOLLS BEDTIME EMMA

 

This was a quick, simple card for me.  

This sweet image from Paper Nest Dolls, is called Bedtime Emma.  I have coloured the image with Copics.  I used a resist technique on her gown and on teddy.

My papers are from the Heartfelt Creations Climbing Clematis Collection.  I loved the paper so much, that I didn't want to add anything to cover it.  All I've added is a giant bow in sheer ribbon, which I've threaded through with eyelets, and a sentiment stamped from a freebie set that came with a craft magazine.

PAPER NEST DOLLS CRAFTING AVERY

I just love finding images with a 'crafting' theme, because we all know so many fellow crafters and an image for a card for one of them is actually quite hard to find.  This one is called Crafting Avery.

I have coloured the image with Copics and used a sheet of pearlescent cardstock from the Core'dinations Gemstones paper pack, to frame the image and papers.

My papers are from the DCWV Fairytale Floral paper pack.  The sentiment is an Art Impressions stamp from the Crafty Girls set.

I've added a satin ribbon and flowers from I Am Roses, as well as a few little flower buttons and a few KaiserCraft pearls.  The fabulous crafty stickers are from the PhotoPlay Crafting With My Gnomies collection.

PAPER NEST DOLLS ELLIE WITH HEART CUPCAKE

 

I have a bit of pink overload to share today.

This sweet image is called Ellie With Heart Cupcake.  I have coloured her with Copics and used a Creative Dies wonky stitches die to cut her out.  The image was slightly too large for the die, so I cut the top and bottom and drew in the stitches for the middle.

My paper are from the DCWV Watercolor Ombre paper pack.  I've used a Spellbinders die to cut one of them out.  I've added cheesecloth between the layers and then added flowers from I Am Roses, and a few pearls.

The sentiment is a Creative Expressions stamp and die set called Wishes.

PAPER NEST DOLLS ELLIE WITH FLOWER BASKET

Today I have a Mother's Day card to share with you, using Ellie With Flower Basket from Paper Nest Dolls.  

I have coloured the image with Copics and used a Spellbinders die to cut it out.  

My papers are from a little 6x6 paper pack called Sweet Memories.  I think it was a freebie pack with a crafting magazine.  I layered one of the papers using another of the Spellbinders dies in the set.  The yellow paper and its white backing have been cut with a Spellbinders border die.

I've added flowers from KaiserCraft and I Am Roses, and a few Dovecraft pearls.

The sentiment is a KaiserCraft stamp.
