Paper Nest Dolls - Emma with Starfish (Water Colouring Only)

Hi Everyone, 

Today I am here to share with you a colour along video for Paper Nest Dolls. I am a recent addition to their team and am super excited to get life back on track and lots of sharing with you guys. 


For my project today I am using a Digital Image called Emma with Starfish, we are super lucky because this image is also available as a Rubber Stamp.



I printed the image onto some Watercolour paper from Kmart, silly me this is the first time I've printed onto this type of paper and I put it into the printed back to front so I watercoloured onto the reverse side hehe. 

I got some watercolours from of our cheaper shops recently, they are Mont Marte brand, there is quite a few colours in there including 3 shades of each of the colours. I've not used these before and I am actually quite happy with the way that they turned out, 


The brushes I used are also from Kmart, they are the rounded brushes, I have linked up a few options for you in the picture links below. 


I ordered some new water cups which are not here yet, the one I am currently using is one from a local cheap shop, I really love the idea of these Faber Castell ones that I have ordered as they are collapsable which means they can pack away easily, see how they go when they arrive I will give you an update on my thoughts, 


I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).

La La Land Crafts Diabetes Awareness

Good Morning Everyone 


Today I have a card to share with you that I created in honour of a little girl with Type 2 Diabetes. 

I have used a stamp from Club La La Land Crafts December 2019 Kit, this stamp is now available to purchase on it's own and Digital Version so I will link those up for you.

I actually used the Digital Version only because I had some already printed out (there was a manufacturing fault in my original rubber so I purchased the Digital whilst I was waiting for my replacement stamp to be sent out). I now own the rubber version also. 


The image was printed onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock using my Brother Laser Printer, I use a laser printer as I know that I will never have an issue with bleeding from my Copic Markers. I added some extra details to the image using a white Gelly Roll pen which I will link up a few options for you.


I used patterned papers from Kaisercraft Little One Collection, this is an old paper collection so I do apologise if you have trouble tracking it down. I love the aqua colours in this paper pad and it was exactly the colour I was after for this card. 

I fussy cut the image using my EK Success Cutterbee Scissors, I recommend these all the time because they are perfect for fussy cutting, they have a nice sharp point on them and allow a nice roll around cut of the image. 

I cut the layers of patterned paper down using my Cutterpillar Pro and adhered them to a Couture Creations Pre Made Card Base, then adhered the image. 

The card needed more to finish it off before I added the sentiment so I punched out some Stars using EK Success Star Confetti Punch and some leftover white cardstock (I keep two small boxes next to my desk with offcuts of white and black card stocks for these things). 


The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions Simple Strips, I stamped them out using Memento Tuxedo Black ink then ran them through my Sizzix Big Shot.



I decorated the inside of the card using matching papers, sorry I forgot photos before I sent it out.

Everything was adhered using Helmar Acid Free liquid Adhesive. 




I hope you have enjoyed my post today, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message or contact me via facebook (all links can be found below).

Whimsy Stamps - Meljens Dr. Bear

Hi Everyone, 


Today I am sharing with you a card I have created for Whimsy Stamps using Meljen's Designs Doctor Bear. This is such an adorable image. 

I merged the image and sentiments on my Apple MacBook Air's Pages App, then printed onto X-Press It Blending Cardstock using my Brother Laser Printer.


I coloured the image using Copic Markers, I will have a full list of the markers I have used below the video at the end of this blog post. 

I ran the image through my Sizzix Big Shot using a Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle Die, I will link up a few different branded ones in the picture links below. 


The RX was cut from some scrap Aqua cardstock using a die from Club La La Land Crafts February 2016 Kit, this die is now for sale as a separate die as part of the Medical Elements set. 


I also cut some other dies from the kit - Bandaid die and Stethoscope die.


I used a Uni-Ball Angelic Gel pen to add details to the image. 


Using some leftover patterned papers from Whimsy Stamps Christmas Cool Mix, I trimmed them down layered one onto some white cardstock then adhered all the them using Scotch ATG onto a Couture Creations Card Base. 


The RX I adhered using Helmar Acid Free liquid Adhesive. 

I used leftovers of the patterned papers and those extra die cuts to the inside of the card.
