Hello everyone!
Zerin here from Craft with Zerin! Today I’ll be sharing with you a simple greeting card.
For your convenience, all the important The Robin’s Nest links are provided below.
Thanks for stopping by!
It’s time to get those holiday cards in the mail, let’s create!
This card started with one of the canvas images by Robin’s Nest and built from there.
It’s a large card, 8 1/2″ x 11 piece of paper folder in half to 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″.
Hello Robin’s Nest Fans,
Karen here to share a quick and effective technique of combining vellum over Dew Drops. This is the first time I used vellum over Dew Drops. I simply love the subtle and blended colors created by adding the vellum overlay. I recommend using brightly colored Dew Drops as the color will become slightly muted when covered by vellum. Let me show you!
(Notice the difference in the intensity of the colors where the vellum is covering the Dew Drops.)
4. Use white card stock to emboss a floral background and adhere it to a white card base leaving a narrow boarder.
Hello all,
A card for baby is on the agenda for today. I love this cute little baby gnome image and found it to be the perfect image for a baby card. This cute baby gnome paired with Dew Drops Embellishments made for a bright and adorable card. Now I just need to know someone who is having a baby girl. lol

Hello all,
I made this card with a Silhouette Cameo that I picked up second hand. I had been wanting to check out an electronic cutter and thought this would be a good way to give it a try. So far, I am really happy with my purchase. This “luck” cut out was perfect for this fun Shamrock card.
Hello Crafty Friends!
Fairuz Fabiha here from Craftivation. Today I’ll be sharing with you a great way to create focal points on your handmade cards using the lovely dew drops from the Robin’s Nest!
Procedures-
1. At first I took a piece of white cardstock paper to use it for the card panel.
2. Applied blue ink on the card panel through a striped stencil.
3. Use the neon pink dewdrops to create the flowers, which are the focal points of the card.
4. Added green tear drops to make it look like the leaves.
5. Finally finished it of by adding bold black sentiment and some blue dew drops along with it.

Used Robin’s Nest Dewdrops-
1.starry-nite-tear-drops
2. water-dew-drops
3. easter-dew-drops
Directions:
1. Use black ink to stamp a random collage of swirls & flourishes onto a white card base. Make sure to rotate the stamp and overlap the edges with the design. If you plan to include a sentiment, make sure you leave some empty space for it.
3. Next, plan the placement of the Tear Drops (aka light bulbs) evenly spaced along different sides of the swirls. This is a temporarily step for placement only so no glue is used at this time. When you are satisfied with their positions, mark each light socket lightly with a pencil. Next, carefully remove the Tear Drops and use a fine tip black marker to draw a small rectangular socket where you left each pencil mark. Sketch them extending on one side of the wire only. Also, tilt them and vary the angle of the sockets for a more realistic appearance.
4. Add Tear Drops in primary colors to the sockets with liquid adhesive. To finish off, draw plugs at the ends of the strings of lights.
(TIP: Attach some Tear Drops away from the flourish to appear as loose spare bulbs. Use a silver gel pen to draw the metal base of the light bulb.)
