Flutter By Flowers

Hello Nomad friends.   Despite promises of rain the dry warm spell is continuing.  Those that have not been watered are looking decidedly crispy.  I've made a summery card with lots of scraps and yellow!!

I cut some scraps of patterned paper circle using Poppystamps Simple Rings die, cut the circles in half and arranged them on the card base.  Poppystamps Intricate Butterflies were cut from some UHK patterned scraps.  Then I found some more yellow snippets for the Poppystamp Daisy Trio flowers.

Gimme The Box

Hello Nomad friends!   Today I am over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity with some inspiration for the Christmas in July challenge.  I was thinking about christmas boxes, which led me to cats, cos everyone knows cats love boxes.   So here's Lost Coast Designs Fat Cat in a box!!

I've made a bottle tag and I hand-drew the box and cut it out.  I thought it would be easy to build a little box and just flatten it, but then you get a 2D flat box don't you!!!   You can see why I use stamps LOL.  I die cut the bottle tag and smeared it with tumbled glass distress ink and stamped one of Lost Coast Designs Small Snowflakes randomly with dark blue ink.  I stamped Fat Cat and Santa Mona's hat, fussy cut them and added some distress marker colour.  I finished with some Misc. Words.

 

The linky is open all month for your stamped festive anythings.   
We need at least 20 entries to award the prize so grab you stamps and tell your friends about our challenge.  The team is sharing inspiration all month so do visit us often.

Footy Fantastic

Hello Nomad friends.   Well, Norway is 'out' of the football but they put on an amazing show, of both football and sportsmanship.  Obviously it's been a popular theme this summer and I've made football themed card with some glittery firework paper for my background.

I used football border and ring of balls dies from By Lene and the player and words are Kort og Godt dies.  I added a norwegian flag painted squashed bottle cap for a bit of patriotic pride.

A Sleigh of Santas

Hello Nomad friends.  Christmas is coming bwahhhaaaaahahaaaa.  Santa is getting all those lovely presents ready and I thought I'd use this sizzix bow die to make a present style card.

This is actually a fun die set and great for using up the red scraps.  Or any colour scraps you want to use I suppose!!   Stay tuned for bows of many colours LOL.  The little tag is a preprinted one and the green snowflake paper is by Dixi Craft.

Sheepy Christmas

Hello Nomad friends.  It's all about Christmas in July over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity.  I've used this cool sheep and some chilly snowflake to make a little inspiration card today.  Maybe it's a bit early for you, but when the summer heat hits it's sometimes nice to immerse ourselves in a bit of snow and ice.

 

I used Carmen's Veranda Sheep Doll with Lost Coast Designs Small Snowflakes and Party Words. 

I love these folksy art stamps from Carmen's Veranda.   I was going to colour the sheep, but once I stamped the snowflakes on the corner of the panel I decided to keep it clean and simple, which is a bonus when you are Christmas crafting me thinks.

Hey Baby

Hello Nomad friends.  Made a baby card with a huge chipboard from Stamperia. 

I sponged yellow ink on my yellow card base and then stamped with a Stamperia text stamp with brown ink.  I added a tag, a scrap of textured gold card, some gold sticker letters, a heart sticker and the baby in a cradle chipboard.
