Stamping Bella and Quick Creations

Hello everyone I have a fun winter card for you today, so appropriate for the weather we're having this week!

I have used Stamping Bella/Mo Manning "Valerie with Snowman" stamp set, with paper from the Studio Calico "Print Shop" collection.  I also used some bling from my stash, the Lawn Fawn "Stitched Snowflakes" die set and a sentiment from the CC Designs "Friends Sentiments" clear stamp set.


You can find the linked products above in the Quick Creations online shop, but hurry there...Noelle is closing up shop, so she has everything discounted :)

See you soon with more inspiration!

Gorjuss "Heartfelt" and Quick Creations

Hello everyone, I have another card for you for Quick Creations.

I created a card featuring Santoro/Gorjuss "Heartfelt" rubber stamp, Nuvo Crystal Drops in "Raspberry Pink" and Cottage Cutz "Victorian Butterfly" die, Spectrum "Sparkle" pen and Santoro's Mirabelle 2 paper.


I colored her using my Recollections water color markers.  I added some Sparkle pen to the butterfly flourish die cut and glued it to the back of the image, and then popped the image up on dimensional adhesive.  I added some ribbon from my stash, and add four dots to the corners of the image with the Nuvo.  This was the perfect color to match the paper :)

A Little Under the Sea with Quick Creations and CC Designs

Hello from the wintery white North! Lol.  It is super blustery here this week, which is a nice change from last week's super cold weather :)

I have created three cards for Quick Creations, using the same stamp set and ribbon :)

This stamp set is "Under the Sea" from CC Designs and I know Noelle has a couple left in her store!

The ribbon is from the Kaisercraft "Rock Pool" collection, as well as the paper in the first card.  Both of these are also available in the Quick Creations shop.


 Ok, tell me these cards didn't turn out super cute!  I watercolored these images using my Recollections watercolor markers on cold-pressed paper.  I fussy-cut some elements from the paper pad and layered them up with dimensional adhesive, added the ribbon bow on this one, and called it finished!


 The turtle is definitely a favorite, I've always liked turtles.  I watercolored him as well and popped him up on dimensional adhesive, added the watercolored bubbles to the background and added some "Rock Pool" ribbon to this card as well.


And the last one was just as fun.  I also watercolored the sea horse and more bubbles and also added some Quick Creations' "Mermaid Tales" sequins to this one.  This ribbon is also from the Kaisercraft "Rock Pool" collection.  Three different ribbons from the same set, and they are so cute!

All of the linked products are available in Noelle's online shop at Quick Creations, but she is closing her shop...so go and see what's left!  There are sale prices on many items!

Stay tuned for more inspiration coming up soon!

A Very Happy New Year and some Paper Nest Dolls, and a new challenge :)

Happy New Year everyone!  How did you spend your New Year's Eve?  We spent it with family, which is definitely the best way to go.

It's time for a new challenge at the Paper Nest Dolls, and to start of the new year I have chosen to create using a brand new doll for Valentine's Day!

This is Love Letter Avery:


I colored her using my Copics and Prismacolor pencils, and completed the card using two La La Land dies, ribbon and flowers from my stash, paper from the Webster's Pages "Painted Passport" collection and glitter paper from American Crafts.

I love the way she turned out, she was so much fun to color and create with.

Come and join the challenge, the theme is always anything goes!  The challenge starts today (always the first Monday of the month) and runs till the end of the month, so you have plenty of time to join in!  See you soon :)

Kraftin' Kimmie Butterfly Dreams with Quick Creations

Hello everyone, I hope the holidays have treated you well :)  For me, it was the busiest holiday we've had in a while, what with a new extended family to visit. 

I have created a pretty purple and teal card for you today for Quick Creations, featuring Kraftin' Kimmie's "Butterfly Dreams" clear stamp set.






To create this card, I water colored the butterflies using some Tim Holtz Distress Markers and some Spectrum Aqua Markers in both a light and dark purple and teal.  I fussy cut them out and added Glossy Accents to their bodies.  I die cut some butterflies out of the white card stock using the Lawn Fawn "Flutterby" die set.  The paper is "Fairy Dust" from Kaisercraft, the sentiment is from KK's "Butterfly Dreams" and I also finished it off with some Nuvo Crystal Drops in "Violet Galaxy".  The white card stock is backed with dimensional adhesive to give it some lift from the patterned paper.

Sadley, Noelle has decided to close her shop for the time being so she can focus on her health, so right now she is having a shop-wide sale, see the details below:

Elf Emma with Lights and Paper Nest Dolls

Christmas is over and the new year is almost here!  Are you excited?  Did you make resolutions or goals for the new year?  I made a couple goals that I intend to reach this year!  And I'm excited to get started.

To finish the 2016 Paper Nest Dolls year off, I decided to color one of Christine's fabulous Christmas images.  This is Elf Emma with Lights:


I colored her using my Copics and Prismacolor Pencils and completed the card using paper from the Recollections "Say Freeze" collection and some adhesive pearls from my stash.  The sentiment is from my Stamp of Approval box and the stamp set was manufactured by Catherine Pooler Designs.

Stay tuned for more fun....Monday starts a new challenge at Paper Nest Dolls!
