Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Remembrance Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using two digital stamps calledMilitary Boy and Military Girl.
11.11.11 – Lest We Forget! I am honoured to dedicate this card to all who have served and are serving to keep us free including my Hubby who was in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada (Princess Louise’s).
My Hubby in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Uniform
I was inspired by a card design I saw using the Suit & Ties Dies by Stampin’ Up! to create a camouflage shirt. I thought this would work very well for my card! So, I used some digital paper that had a camouflage pattern on it to create my shirt. I had so much fun colouring with my Copic Markers these cuties in camouflage colours! Of course, I had to add a poppy for Remembrance from the Poppy Moments Dies.

Happy Halloween Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Today I am sharing My Tombstone Treat Boxes as my Design Team Inspiration for Paper Nest Dolls using Ragdoll Sally.
I had a lot of fun colouring this cutie with my Copic Markers! In fact, I coloured her skin in three different tones. So, I created a poll in The Paper Nest Dolls Inspiration Facebook Group on which skin tone was the most popular. The most popular green skin tone was used to create a card (Link to it here), but I couldn’t resist colouring the other two to create my treat boxes.
My Coloured Ragdoll Sallys
Since it’s Halloween what better way to celebrate with treat boxes to give out to all those cute trick-or-treaters! The Stampin’ Up! Tombstone Treat Boxes were so fun to decorate with lots of little bits from my stash! And the finishing touch was my coloured Ragdoll Sallys!
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Today I am sharing My Birthday Slimline Shaker Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the Ragdoll Sally. Every year, my Hubby and I watch Nightmare Before Christmas for Halloween. It’s also my Hubby’s birthday on Thursday and I thought a birthday card with Ragdoll Sally would be perfect for him.
I had a lot of fun colouring this cutie with my Copic Markers! In fact, I coloured her skin in three different tones. So, I created a poll in The Paper Nest Dolls Inspiration Facebook Group on which skin tone was the most popular. It turned out that the green skin tone was the winner. So, I used her for my card.

Of course, I also coloured the others and created Halloween treat boxes with them which I plan to share later this week.
My Card Details
For my card, I decided to create not only a slimline card, but a shaker card with glow in the dark moons! So fun! I know my Hubby will get a kick out of it! I found this cool graphic on Etsy for Nightmare Before Christmas. So, I used my Silhouette Cameo to tweak it to fit my shape and then die cut it out. The moon paper was 6” x 6”, but since I only needed it for the top half of my card, I trimmed it down to fit.
The Happy Birthday sentiment was printed out on my computer using Word and the Viner Hand ITC font. I created a collage of different items around the sentiment including the glittery spider web and spider trinket. Don’t you love the pop of green that the mesh created at the bottom of the card to mirror her skin and the Lavinia moon paper!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! Today I am sharing My Perfectly Wicked Interactive Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the Evil Fairy.
I was honoured to have been asked to present at the Paper Nest Dolls’ Party with the Villains Virtual Weekend Retreat that was this past weekend. I had so much fun creating my cards for the event that I made an extra one that I thought I would share with you today. The other cards that I presented at the Retreat will be posted at the end of this post.
To get in the mood and for inspiration, I just had to watch the movies both the live action and the cartoon! Any excuse to watch Disney is a good excuse in my books! Lol!

Movie of My Perfectly Wicked Interactive Card
For this card, I coloured the Evil Fairy with my Copic Markers to match the Disney cartoon. I have been wanting to use the Give a Whirl Dies from Stampin’ Up! and thought it would be perfect for my card! It is so fun to spin that little dial and see all the fun sentiments! These sentiments… “Perfectly Wicked!” and “Bad Girls Have More Fun!” …were created in Word. I added one of the digital papers behind them to blend in with the paper that I used on my card base. Since the Evil Fairy turns into a dragon at the end of the movie, I couldn’t resist adding a bright green dragon with a dusting of Black Soot on its edges. A castle and a few stars that were brushed with the Aged Brass were the only other elements that I added to my card.
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing My Steampunk Anniversary Card using Goth Dad and Goth Mom by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. In fact, I loved these cuties so much, that I created another card last year using the whole family. I will leave a link at the end of this post to that card.
I gave this fun card to my Hubby for our wedding anniversary this year. He loves anything steampunk and the Addams Family. So, I decided to add a steampunk vibe to my card with gears, a chain, a monocle, the Word Band, and my monochromatic colour scheme.
My Card Details
For my card, I decided that I wanted to colour the two images in black and white just like in the old TV series, but with a pop of red for the rose. I carried that colour scheme over with my paper choices and embellishments. The My Mind’s Eye paper was so perfect that I decided to make my card 6” x 6” and only cut off 1/8” for the card base. I lightly sponged Brushed Iron wax to my die cut corner gears to give them added dimension and placed them underneath Goth Dad. To mirror them, I place Cherry Cobbler die cut roses on the opposite corner underneath Goth Mom. A black doily helps to set off my focal point of the coloured stamps from the background.
Close Up of My Design Team Card
For embellishments, I used a Tim Holtz Monocle and Word Band that mirror the Brushed Iron Wax in colour. I picked up the Ball Bead Chain from my local hardware store. The Cherry Cobbler Ribbon and Red Rhinestone, tie in my pop of red colour.
My Envelope Details
Since I went with a 6” x 6” card, I need to create a custom envelope and my Envelope Punch Board came to the rescue.
Outside of My Envelope for My Card
I used some retired Stampin’ Up Designer Series Paper that carried the monochrome theme over from the card. I used a sponge dauber to dab Cherry Cobbler Ink to the roses on the paper to tie in my pops of red. Some black lace fiber blend tied my envelope together with a seal and gold heart sticker holding the ends together.
Inside of My Envelope with My Design Team Card
For my tag, I used the gear tag die with the Brushed Iron Wax on the front of it and a piece of the rose paper.
Front of Gear Tag with Rose
On the back of the tag, I used a piece of Graphic 45 paper that had the words “Mon Amour”. Gomez and Morticia are always speaking endearments in different languages to each other. So, I thought this would tie in my theme.
Back of My Gear Tag
Finally, the last thing I created was for the inside of my card. I took all the endearments that they said in the show and created a graphic with them.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Pumkin’ Spice Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the new release Fall Emma. I love this time of year with the cooler weather and the turning of the leaves!
Details of My Card
I coloured Emma with my Copic Markers in Autumnal colours with rich oranges and greens. I love her little latte cup and, of course, it needed to be a Pumkin’ Spiced Latte. Not pumpkin, but pumkin’ since that is the way I say it! Lol!
For my card, I had perfect Fall paper for it which even came with tags that matched my theme! I decided to layer a die cut pumpkin and a faux wooden leaf tag behind the pumpkin spice tag. I threaded the twine from the leaf tag through the other tag to tie it all together.
Don’t you just love the latte cup peeking out from behind the central image! I used the matching paper to die cut it out and added an orange heart for pumkin spice like in the coloured stamp. I layered behind the central image a “wooden” fence that was die cut out of paper that looked like wood. A die cut leaf and a couple of Pumpkin Pie rhinestones tie in my Fall theme.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Evil Queen Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the new release Evil Queen digital stamp. She is also available as a rubber stamp here. She just makes the cutest Halloween card!
For my stamp, I coloured the Evil Queen with my Copic Markers. I made her sleeves one shade lighter since I noticed in the Disney Show White movie that they are lighter. I then “painted” the Glow Drops onto her apple where the green is showing. Love that when you turn out the lights the poison glows! Next, I added some highlights with my White Gelly Roll Pen on the crown and jewels which I followed up with Glossy accents to make them shiny.
Video of The Nuvo Glow Drops in Action
For my card, I had these cool overlay acetates leftover from Halloween last year and thought having the poison paper show through it was a neat effect! Plus, the picture frame with the skeleton reminded me of her Magic Mirror! The spider web doily was in my stash, and I thought it was perfect way to frame her! The swirling rhinestones remind me of a magic spell being cast, but I wanted them red not clear. Easy enough to colour them with my R37 Copic Marker. To carry on the glowing theme, I added some dots with my Nuvo Glow Drops amongst the red rhinestones and on the web.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Lazy Days of Summer Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stampSurfer Emma. When you buy her, you get 2 digital stamps for the price of 1! Surfer Emma with and without sunglasses.
I can’t believe that summer is almost over! Emma and I are going to miss those lazy days of summer sunshine!
For my card, I had fun colouring Emma with my Copic markers. I created a summer vignette for my cutie with the surfer van and a palm tree sticker poking out from the circle. The surfer van was a svg file that I downloaded and cut out on my Silhouette Cameo machine. The svg file comes as a box card, but I only wanted the van. Easy enough to separate the file into the pieces that I needed. It was so fun creating the van to match my coloured image with the hot pink. Who wouldn’t love to drive a hot pink surfer van!
Since it’s a beach card, of course, I needed water, sand, and sun! So, my paper was perfect for two of those elements! The sun and sunshine die cuts completed the other element. I love the sentiment “The lazy days of summer” which sum up my card perfectly and matches the purple colour of her bathing suit!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I was honoured to have been asked to present this card and my colouring for it at the Rebels and Wizards Online Event for Paper Nest Dolls that was this past weekend. My Mandalorian Card is using Rebel Hero and the new release Rebel Baby by Paper Nest Dolls and the Magic Iris Dies by Lawn Fawn. I have included a PDF with step by step instructions on how to build the Magic Iris at the end of this post.
I just love Baby Yoda in the Mandalorian TV series. He is soooo cute! I even have a Baby Yoda stuffy that gets into all kinds of mischief. Lol! So, when I saw the new Rebel Baby digital stamp, I just had to make a card with him! My card was inspired by the last episode of season two where Luke comes to rescue Baby Yoda and his friends. I coloured Luke in dark clothes with a green light saver (or life saver as my Baby Yoda calls it! Lol!) as he appeared in this episode. The Rebel Baby is hidden behind the “door” and is revealed by the Magic Iris mechanism when the Jedi Hero opens it.

Don’t you just love the digital paper that I used with the Mandalorian helmets and the original Star Wars logo! They were perfect for my card and were free from HaleGrafix. I sponged some Black Soot to the edges of it to give my card a gritty feel. I couple of star embellishments was all this card needed to finish it off.

I just received my second dose of the Covid vaccine on Monday and my Hubby received his on July 1st, which was Canada Day for us. So, I made a card for my Hubby and a different one for me to give to the medical staff as our way of showing our appreciation for what they are doing.
Don’t you just love the sentiment, “I’m smiling under this face mask”! It was from a Covid Fundraiser by Stampin’ Up! where you could buy a PDF with a ton of Covid sentiments.
Inside of My I’m Smiling Under This Face Mask
I love how you can add the Essential Worker (Masks Set) to a digital stamp either afterwards like I did with the doctor and nurse or add it directly to the stamp. I decorated the inside of my card with the Avery in Heart digital stamp, but I added a mask directly to her using Word. Then I coloured her with my Copic markers to match the nurse and doctor on the front of my card. I layered her onto the heart beat which I die cut from a die in my stash.
My Hubby’s Card
For my Hubby’s card, I created a Canadian flag on the front since he was getting it done on Canada Day. I even used “red/white checked flannel” Designer Series Paper for the background. Can’t get any more Canadian than that! Lol! Instead of using the Essential Worker (Masks Set), I left their faces bare. Isn’t it neat how you can get two different looks with and without the masks!
My Hubby’s Covid Card
For the inside of his card, I used the Share Sunshine PDF Download by Stampin’ Up! for the Thank you Hero sentiment and punched it out using the Heart Punch.

Happy Summer Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Fun in the Sun Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stampSurfer Emma.
First day of Summer was yesterday which inspired my card! This card came about because I just bought the Slimline Waves Die by Whimsy Stamps and couldn’t wait to play with it. I debated about a shaker card but decided that a scene using the waves as separators between the sand, water and sky would be fun.
I had this cool birthday paper in my stash that looks like waterdrops. Perfect for the fun colours of my image which I coloured with my Copic markers! I added a couple of “water drops” with my acrylic dew drops on some of the Bermuda Bay swirls around my stamp. For my sand and sky, I used a couple of embossing folders to add texture. Then I lightly brushed ink over the raised parts and edges to give those areas more dimension. Another fun accent was that the cloud and “sunshine” word were die cut from white felt to make them seem fluffy. Some shells from the dollar store add to my beachy theme.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Twirly-Whirly Birthday Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the digital stamp Emma with Pinwheel.
I coloured this cutie with my Copic markers to match my pinwheel paper. This paper was perfect for my card! I love the pinwheel Sizzlits that I had in my stash. If you have a pinwheel, you need to have a slider to make it move! And, since you need room to twirl your pinwheel, I made a mini slimline card! The sentiment was too long for my card. So, I snipped it on wonky angles and adhered them haphazardly to mirror my fun card.
Did you know that you can currently (until June 6/21) get this digital stamp for free over at the Kit and Clowder Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/kitandclowder/permalink/3808697382591836/

Hello Crafty Friends! It’sLaurie here! I am sharing my April Showers Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the cute digital stampAvery in Rain Poncho.
April showers really does bring May flowers! May is here and the flowers are blooming! So, I couldn’t resist colouring Avery in her sweet rain poncho and her little friend with my Copic markers! I have had her coloured for a long time sitting on my desk waiting to be placed on the perfect card and I thought Spring is the perfect time for her!
For my card, I decided to create a circular card instead of my typical square/rectangle ones. A circular card suited the Sending Flowers Dies with its vignette of tulips and flowers in the bright spring colours. The Pleased as Punch DSP with the raindrops was perfect for my background of my card. I added a few more raindrops with the Glitter and Clear Epoxy Shapes to make the rain sparkle. More sparkle was added with the rhinestones in the flowers centers. I added Glossy Accents to her boots since all goloshes are wet from splashing in puddles!
Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Happy Earth Day Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the cute digital stamp Ellie With Flower Pot.
For those that don’t know what Earth Day is, it is an annual celebration that honours the achievements of the environmental movement and raises awareness of the need to protect Earth’s natural resources for future generations. Earth Day is celebrated on April 22.
The world is our home and every year I like to support Earth Day in my own little way! I thought Ellie With Flower Pot was perfect for my Earth Day Card! So, I coloured her with my Copic markers.
Since this is an Earth Day card, I used recycled paper including some cardboard that I repurposed. The Green Stack is 70% recycled paper. The piece behind Ellie has such words as Wonderful World, Go Green, Blue Skies, Environment, Earth, Green Trees, etc. Perfect for an Earth Day card! The cardboard was some that I had kicking around the house. I pulled it apart and kept the middle corrugated part that I tore to fit my card. I just loved using all these recycled bits for my card!
The world dies and leafy vines really add to the Earth Day theme. For the sentiment, I stamped each letter individually in a haphazard way. I love the rustic feel of the blocked letters!

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Rainy Friends Forever Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the new digital stamp release Rainy Day Owen.
I coloured this cutie and his little friend with my Copic markers. Since he is Rainy Day Owen, I decided to create a rainy scene with my cloud dies and DSP, but with a rainbow peeking through the clouds. I love the sentiment, but it was too long for my card front. So, I did a few snips here and there to pull it apart and added a mat to make them pop from the background. A few more raindrops with my Clear Epoxy Shapes were added. A finishing touch was Glossy Accents on the puddle and raindrops to make them look wet.
