Snow Friends

 Hello everyone, today I am back to share with you my latest D.T. inspiration for Rachelle Anne Miller.  I am using the beautiful image called Snow Friends.

How cute is the snow man with his critter friends!

Koala Christmas

Hello everyone, today I am back with some D.T. inspiration sharing another Christmas card using a cute image from Rachelle Anne Miller called Koala Christmas.

I kept the embellishments to a minimum but still decorated with dies. As I live in Australia, Koala Christmas is the perfect image for my creations to send to my friends & family that live overseas.

Koala Christmas can be found in digital format here.

Ice Princess

 Hello everyone, I hope you are all well. Wow can you believe we are almost at the end of the year! Where has 2020 gone! Have you put your Christmas decorations up yet? Or do you wait till the beginning of December? I always start in November as I find things get so busy in December & before you know it they have to come down again. So I like to enjoy it a little longer :D

Do you make your own decorations?  With that in mind I would like to share with you my inspiration today for the Paper Nest Dolls using a non Christmas stamp called Ice Princess, you may remember this stamp from the previously released Princess Collection.

Last year I purchased some plastic domes from a craft store, got busy & put them aside. Well this year I decided it's time I did something with them. I coloured my image & fussy cut it. I created the background by cutting out X-press It paper into an oval shape using a die as close to size as to the dome as possible. I trimmed the sides & bottom till it fit into the insert of the dome. I coloured it with Copics, sprinkled gesso & added some star die cuts.

I then got 2 exact size small strips of cardstock of about 8cm & no wider than my image & glued them together. I did this to make  my stand thick & sturdy so it will hold my image upright. I scored about 3cm in at one end & 1cm in at the other. I folded it upwards. I glued my image to the front of the 3cm fold then the background to the front of the 1cm fold. This is to hold my image & background in place once it is inside the dome.

 Next I brushed some antistatic powder inside the dome, same as you use for embossing stamps. This is so the fake snow doesn't stick statically to the plastic, although as you can see from my pics some still did.

Then I inserted the images into my dome & added a small amount of hot glue to the back of the backdrop & stuck it to the rim of the dome. Lastly I carefully added the fake snow, closed it up & glued some more snowflake die cuts & embellished with ribbons, flowers & berries. 

I have to admit, taking a photo of this was a little bit difficult because of the reflections. It looks better in real life, I promise ;)

Ice Princess is available in rubber here & digital stamp here.

Supplies:

Stamp: Paper Nest Dolls - "Ice Princess"
Colouring: Medium Copics

Accessories: Plastic Dome Bauble, Spellbinders Charming Christmas Boughs & Petite Oval Dies, Fake Snow, Gesso, Magnolia Doohickey Dies Vol 23, Seam Binding, Berries & Flowers from my stash.

Cara Mia

 Hello everyone, I am back again to share some D.T inspiration for the Paper Nest Doll.

Today I am using 2 adorably gooky & spooky images called Goth Mom & Goth Dad from the newest October release.

I have made a romantic distressed card. As you can see you are not limited to Halloween. This card could be used for non traditional Valentines Day or for a couple who love all things Gothic.

Lulu Bee

  Hello everyone I am back again today to share some inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls. With Spring in the air here in Australia I decided to make some Spring insect themed cards in the coming weeks. Today I am sharing a card I made using Lulu Bee. She is such a super sweet image & it wasn't hard to get creative & create a matching card.

I searched the internet & purchased some pretty digi paper from Etsy from a store called Dandelionery. I then just matched it up with Petite Print papers from Doodlebug Design. With my die cuts I was originally going to use matching coloured paper but found that they got lost into the background. Then I decided to use gold cardstock & I just love how it turned out! Made the die cuts pop, not to mention coordinated nicely.

You cannot tell from the photos, but I coloured Lulu's wings & the vellum on the die cut bees with some Wink of Stella to add some shimmer. Then I finished off by embellishing with some pretty flowers!

Keep your eye out for my next post which will feature another adorable Spring garden cutie.

Lulu Bee is available in rubber here & in digital format here.

Stamp: Paper Nest Dolls "Lulu Bee"

Colouring Medium: Copics

Halloween Costumes

Hello everyone, have you started your Halloween projects yet?

Where I live we don't get any trick or treaters, but it's always fun to do Halloween things & I usually do that by making treats for my kids. With all that is going on in the world right now, things may be a little different for Halloween this year & you may not get to go trick or treating as you normally would. So today I am sharing an idea that you may like to use. 

For todays D.T inspiration I have made a door hanger that you can hang on the kids door & fill with yummy treats.

Rachelle Anne Miller has released some spook-tak-ular new Halloween images & today I am using one of those called Halloween Costumes. 

I started out by cutting the base using an svg file that I purchased from the Silhouette Store. I then cut out the panels with some cute Halloween paper from Doodlebug. If you do not own a Silhouette cutting machine you can search door hangar templates on google. I did see a few come up there as well. 

After gluing it together I added a spooky bat & spider which I also created with my Silhouette. Any Halloween dies in your stash would work. Lastly I added some webs using a punch & embellished with some matching flowers & ribbons. All that was left was to fill it up with yummy goodies. 

Super fast & easy! 

 If you are lost for ideas I hope this gives you a little inspiration!

Halloween Costumes is available in digi format & can be found here. You will also find more Halloween images in store or you can save money & purchase the set where you will get 4 for the price of 3 here.
