Blast From The Past

Hello Nomad friends.  Do you UK ladies remember Craft Creations???  How long have they been gone??  Used to love their card and papers and I still have loads, including loads of decoupage sheets.  Inspired to pull out some gingers tonight and make a couple of cards.

4 layers of decoupage on this one.  I think my mother in law will get a laugh out of this guy, although she doesn't really do english.........

Used a bit of red plaid paper and this cute little framed ginger.  The sentiment is a flat beer bottle cap and says Merry Christmas in Norwegian.

Cold And Frosty Cookie Basket

Hello Nomad friends.  I really liked the little tag basket I made the other day so I decided to alter the measurements to accommodate some cookies I made.  I've used blues and snowflakes and glitter for that cold and frosty look to go with the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Cold and Frosty Challenge.

I used Carmen's Veranda Reindeer Doll with Lost Coast Designs Small Snowflakes and ATC Doodle Circles stamps.  Here's a view of the finished basket with my pig shaped cookies on the side.  I watercoloured the deer's dress and added some other colour with distress markers and promarkers.

I hope you get some time to stamp and join us at the Cold and Frosty challenge.  Don't forget to pop over to the blog and check out more details and all the awesome inspiration from the team.

A Little Basket Of Tags

Hello Nomad friends.  I've been playing with some pretty papers and made this basket of tags.

I used Laserowe Love Winter Fun papers.  I think I bought these cos they looked cute and fun and I enjoyed fussy cutting the penguins and deers from the printed sheets.  The little blue stripey pieces are scraps from the back of the penguin/deer sheet.  Waste not waste not I say.......

  Put this big deer on the other side of the basket.  I used Stamploration dies for the tags.

Merry Christmas with Hart

Hello Nomad friends.  Trying a bit of white on white today.  Quite pleased with how this came out.   I used a gemini modern hearts embossing folder on the background panel to give some texture and lots of sizzix dies and sentiment from Papirdesigns. 

I am so not ready for Christmas but this was a fun card to make and I do have cookie dough ready.....

Simply Christmas

Hello Nomad friends.  I was inspired by Iwona at Endless Passion to make this CAS card with a image from Lexi Crafts Loft Christmas.

I used some white strips and my scoreboard for the lined pieces and die cut a white heart from another scrap.  I cut the couple from the Lexi Design papers and stamped sentiments from Penny Black.

New Gnome Home

Hello gNomad friends.  I'm over on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with a card for the Gnome-vember Challenge. We want to see all your stamped makes featuring gnomes.  Lost Coast Designs have a awesome selection of the cutest gnomes, now available in large and mini sizes.  I've used Viking Gnome with mini Stone House and a Large Shrubbery background.

 

I stamped Viking Gnome and mini Stone House on white card, masked and stamped the Shrubbery with green ink.  I cut the panel with Marianne Designs large postage stamp die.   I used a yellow base card smeared with green ink and also edged the white panel with the same inks.  I used some words from Misc. Words to make the sentiment.

 

 

 

Join the Gnome-vember fun for a chance to win Lost Coast $$$$$.  You have all month to link up your stamped anythings featuring GNOMES!!!!
