Elfing Out from 36,000 ft

Hello Nomad friends.  I am elfing out at the Christmas Kickstart Challenge this month with the Meowy Christmas and a Yappy New Year theme.  It's all about cats and dogs and I used a really cute Stampendous stamp for the dog, and the Kort og Godt Norwegian sentiment says
'now it's Christmas again' 

I'm gonna show my age cos the card base is a piece of green plaid card from Craft Creations.  I knew it would be perfect one day LOL.  I stamped the pooch, fussy cut along the bottom and coloured his hat with a red marker.  I also liberally daubed glitter glue on the hat fluff and bauble.  Then I mounted the panel off-center to show a bit more of the pretty plaid and stamped the sentiment.

I hope you round up your festive cats and dogs and join Jo and I over at the Christmas Kickstart Challenge.  See you there.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Beautiful Girl

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal.  Make a card, send a card, get a card.  Everyone gets a card.  Everyone is a winner.  

I got an absolutely lovely card from Kathy in the UK and mine winged it's merry way to Jo in the UK.

I used the string block stamping option for my background and this lovely big Unity stamp called Eva.  The sentiment is also by Unity.

 If you would like to see all the amazing card that winged their way around the planet for September check out the REVEAL POST.

Wise Men

Hello Nomad friends!!  Here I am again with another Christmas offering.   I recently acquired this Wise Men die from sizzix.  An oldie but wowzer.   I am all in love with this card which I based on a sketch from the Bikuben inspiration group on fb.

I wonder why I didn't ever buy this die before because I do love a good Wise Man!!!  And camels are pretty cool too!  I used a strip of patterned paper that I ripped off a 6 x 6 sheet to give a ragged edge.  Then I used Kort og Godt stamped for stars and sentiment and Papirdesign stamp for the triangles.

Oh Deer, Oh Deer

Hello Nomad friends and welcome to November here at my little corner of blogland.  I am feeling very festive today and expect this to continue for much of this month.  In between I will be jetting off to the UK for my annual family get together so it might go quiet between flurries of activity.   Here's my first offering, left speechless for those non-denominationals and not feeling the merry occasions. 

 

Found this lovely distressed tablecloth type card and made a card base.  Actually I made three card bases, so stay tooned......   Then I used red card and gold holographic card to cut the the two deers and the circle, which in hindsight, no pun intended, should have been a star...  This is the first time I have used these Papirdesigns deer dies and didn't realise they came with shadows, and aren't they adorbs!!!!

Jolly Goth

Hello Nomad friends.  Trying out my goth christmas vibe again today.  Hoping red and black and some stocking net meets the bill.

I used a black base card and panel and Poppystamps Brilliant Star Oval die.  I cut the oval into the black panel and backed the aperture with some red glittery net.  Then I cut the Star Oval die again from red card and glued it over the net.  I glittered the black panel and added a Memory Box chippy Greeting Tab.
