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 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 Christmas line. I also added a couple dies from my stash and wooden snowflakes to embellish.

I hope that I've inspired you to get started for next year or finish up those holiday cards! You can find more photos and details over on my blog. Have a wonderful New Years weekend! Be on the look out for a new challenge coming soon!

Avery with Coffee

Hello everyone!

Designer Noelle with you to share my next inspiration for The Paper Nest Dolls Challenge! I've used "Avery with Coffee" on my project today, which is also available in digi. I hope that you like it!

I colored the image with my copics as usual. I layered her on some pretty designer cardstock from my stash using glue dots. I distressed the edges of the papers and added some pom pom lace trim. Lastly, I added a sentiment from another set to finish off the card.

Thank you for joining us here on the blog! I hope to see many of your creations entered into our challenge. For more details and photos of my project, please check out my blog. Don't forget to check out all the images that Christine has to offer in the shop! Have a great day/night!

Frankie

Hello everyone!

I hope you're staying safe away from hurricanes, floods and fires! It's really been a weird year for weather this year! Christine is trying to recover from the destruction from the storm, so you'll have to contact her to purchase if you'd like to purchase the rubber stamp. Luckily, it's still just sunny where I'm at in Oregon but the nice weather is coming to an end unfortunately. Anyway, I'm here to share with you my next creation! I've used the new image "Frankie" for my card to get you inspired to start working on some Halloween crafts if that's your sort of thing. I don't typically make many Halloween creations because I don't give out many cards for it, but just couldn't pass up the opportunity to color up this cutie! I hope you love her as much as I do!

I played around with some different color combos with my copic markers on this one. She was fun to color up! The patterned paper I used is by Doodlebug Design, as well as the enamel dots. Lastly, I added a die cut with a die from my stash.

Thank you for stopping by! Feel free to leave some comments and check out my blog for more details and photos. Have a great day!

Mermaid Ellie with Seahorse

Hello everyone! 

I hope that you're all doing well. Designer Noelle with you today to share some inspiration using the super adorable "Mermaid Ellie with Seahorse" image. You can find it in the store HERE and also available as a digital stamp HERE. I personally prefer rubber stamps myself. Anyway, I hope you like what I've created with her!

I colored the image with my copic markers. The bubbles are colored with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens. I layered her on top of some mermaid paper from my stash and also added seashell washi tape. I also framed her in some die cuts from my stash,
