Emma with Camera

Hello everyone!

I hope all of you are doing well. I'm getting over a bit of a cold, hopefully I'll feel better in a couple more days. Anyway, I'm here to share with you some inspiration for this month's challenge. For today's project, I used "Emma with Camera". I hope that you like what I've created with her.

I colored the image with my copic markers as usual and had some with my Nuvo Glitter Drops around the image. The die, ink (black soot from Ranger Ink), enamel dots, and pretty patterned paper are all from my stash.

I hope that I have inspired you to enter your own creations into this month's "Anything Goes" challenge over on the Challenge Blog! I look forward to seeing your creations. Feel free to leave some comments if you like. You can also see my post over on The Paper Nest Dolls Challenge Blog. Have a great day!

Rainy Days

Karen N here from Craftily Yours.  Happy Saturday, Y'all!

Northern California (where I'm from) had a whole lotta rain this year, so I thought I'd create a rain-inspired card for my inspiration post over at Paper Nest Dolls!

This sentiment-less card could be used for quite a few occasions.  I used the plain version of Rainy Day Emma to create this:

I super love that sweet frog and that sweet duckling!  I colored with Copics:

Hair:  E21, E23, E25
Skin:  E000, E00, E11, R20
Outfit:  Y000, Y00, Y02, R81, R83, BG53, BG57, BG10
Frog:  G14, G16
Duck:  Y15, Y18, YR14
Ground:  BG01, BG02

The rest of the card is a mixture of papers, flowers, lace and jelly dots I had in my stash.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Craftily yours,

Karen

Happy Birthday, Chickie

Hi Y'all!  Karen N here from Craftily Yours.  I'm so happy today to be providing inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls, Anything Goes Challenge.  It's a super fun challenge because....well, anything goes!

Today, I created a card using the Avery with Bird Nest digital stamp:

I seriously LoVe these dolls!  She is colored with:

Hair:  E50, E53, E55
Skin:  E000, E00, E11, R21, BV20
Outfit:  YR00, YR02, R81, R83, R85
Birdie and Nest:  E41, E43, Y15, Y18, Y00, Y02, YR14, YG03, YG06

The paper is from Heartfelt Creations, and I created the sentiment on my computer, and the dies framing Avery are from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Craftily yours,

Karen

Ice Cream Ellie-Inspiration

Hey there stampers, hope you are having a great holiday weekend!! 

It may not be warm enough for bikini's in some parts of the world, but it's always the right weather for ice cream, in my opinion, so I couldn't help but break out the new Ice Cream Ellie image to play with today!!

I paired her with some super cute Doodlebug paper, and used several buttons, and matching cardstock from MFT. I used a sentiment from a Kraftin' Kimmie set, and held it in place with a spiral clip, and threw the whole thing together with some brads, and some fun ruffled purple ribbon.

Well, that is is for me for now! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my work, and have a great day!!

Hang 10 Inspiration!

Well Hello everyone, DT Jammie here with a sweet little Avery card today to inspire you.  I just adore this new release!!! It's finally starting to feel like summer, and summer is my favorite!  I colored up Surfer Avery here with my Copic markers on XPress-It blending stock and placed her on some awesome papers that I have had for over 12 years!!!!! Yeah, you totally read that right! I'm not ashamed to be a paper hoarder, it happens to some of the best people! Ha ha ha! 

Here's my card:

I hope that little Avery inspires you and that you all enter our "anything goes" challenge this month! Have an awesome weekend, catch some rays, and hang 10 for a while.

Happy crafting! -Jammie

Spring is in the air...

   Hello everyone, DT Jammie here from rainy Idaho. Never fear though, April showers bring May flowers! Sweet little Avery here is enjoying the little bugs that come out of hiding when spring rolls around. Avery with Fireflies is a new image this month and isn't she just the cutest?
   I used so many Copics to color her, and changed my mind on what colors to use about a million times, that I forgot to write down what ones I used.

   I can tell you that the skin blend I used is E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, and R20. Her Hair is E29 and E37, and a highlight color that I can't recall. Ha ha ha! Sorry guys.  The papers are Stampin' Up! and a few scraps from my bin (it's HUGE, because I'm a paper hoarder), the flowers are from the $1 bin at my local Michael's store, and the Washi Tape is from Recollections.

   This Image can be purchased from the Paper Nest Dolls Shop and she has a few friends all ready for spring that you should check out too.  This card was made to inspire you for our "Anything Goes" challenge going on this month, check back a few posts for full details. You can also check out my blog to see some of my other creations.

   Hope you all have a wonderful week and happy stamping! 

Fashion Doll Sailor

Hi Everyone Cindy here, the newest member of the Design Team here at Paper Nest Dolls, with my first Inspiration post for you.

For my project I have used Fashion Doll Sailor. Isn't she just so sweet. I have colored her with Copics,

I then made a lighthouse using a cut file from Silhouette. before assembling the lighthouse I put the blue stripes on using ink and a sponge dauber.  as the base was just plain white. This little lighthouse can double as a candy box as the top section comes off.

After the light house was done I fussy cut out the doll and attached her of to the side, and here is the finished project.

Thanks for looking and see you again soon.
