Paper Nest Dolls: ZOINKS! Happy Birthday

My all time favorite cartoon growing up was a group of kids and their Great Dane dog, so when Paper Nest Dolls came out with this set of stamps, called Doll Detectives, I couldn't just color just one of the stamps, I had to color them all! This awesome stamp bundle comes in red rubber and in digital formats! I used the digital formats so that I can make them the size I needed for my slimline easel card.

To make this slimline easel card, I first printed the two girls and the two boys at 3-3/4" tall. The dog is 2" tall and the bus is 2-3/4" tall. I colored all the images with Copic markers and the sandwich with Prismacolor pencils then fussy cut them.

To make the slimline easel card, use the following measurements as shown below. There are two cut lines and the rest are score lines. I did my measurements and marked it with pencil, then I used a steel ruler and craft knife to make my cut lines. You can also use a rotary or blade paper trimmer that has grid lines and measurements to make your cuts. For this card, start with a sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock. Cut off 1/2" of the 11" side so that the cardstock measures 8-1/2" x 10-1/2". Make the following cut and score lines:

After making the cut and score lines, fold the easel to look like this: 

I downloaded and printed some free digital patterned paper from Freepik to decorate the card. I thought this flower pattern was perfect for the card. I matted the patterned paper with turquoise cardstock. I used liquid glue to adhere all the images onto the card. I created and printed the sentiment on my printer, then trimmed it. I added a turquoise cardstock mat behind it.

This was such a fun card to make! These stamps are just so cute! Great for scrapbooking too! 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a creative week!
