Three Wise Gnomes

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with some simple inspiration for the Festive Fun Challenge, anything stamped with a Christmas theme.  It's a busy time of year so I think it's nice to be able to stamp a quick make.


I stamped Lost Coast Designs 3 Gnomes on a white card base and coloured with water colour pencils.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs Reindeer Gnome on white card, coloured him and fussy cut.  I stuck him over the middle gnome and stamped the Happy Christmas sentiment.  I used a fancy sizzix die to cut the base card for some added some interest.  
 
 
You have all month to join the fun and share your stamped anythings with a Christmas theme.  Real rubber or clear stamping and the theme must be the focus of your project. The team are sharing awesome inspiration all month so do hop over to see all their amazing projects.

Angels are Near

Hello Nomad friends.  Happy Monday.  I have made an ATC using scraps from my weekend makes and some clip out images. 
 


Isn't she adorable!  The atc and background scraps are from Scrap and Me Somewhere Else papers and the angel and fancy star are cut from the Christmas 10 image sheet.

Aloha

Hello Nomad friends.  I appear to have missed the start of a new month LOL.  Yesterday I had my traditional autumn thanks giving party.  I started this the first year I was in Norway when I realised how thankful I was for being here in this beautiful place, for food grown in the garden, for family and friends.  So I invite everyone and make a big pot of food, my Norwegian sisters and mother make amazing cakes, for which I am very thankful yum yum, and a fun time is had by all.  

But now...it's the second of the month and time for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal.  My card this month went to Joanne in Connecticut.

I went with the sketch and the options of  trees and friendship.

I used some yellow scraps for the 'island' and text panel.  The trees are sizzix dies also cut from green and brown scraps.  I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the Papernest Doll stamp.  Isn't she cute, and that weird coloured rooster.

I received a wonderful card from Gail in Canada ðŸ¥° Thanks Gail 

If you would like to see all the cards that were sent this month hop over and check out the REVEAL 

If you would like to join the fun the November SIGN UP is open until the 6th

The Sound of Silence

Hello Nomad friends.  Does space make you uneasy??  This card looks fab to me in the real but I am not sure my staging is doing it justice.  Fat Cat wasn't sure what message he wanted to share today so I just left him sans sentiment.  

I used a scrap of Scrap and Me Something Else stripy paper for the edge and stamped Lost Coast Designs Fat Cat on another scrap from the same paper set.  I added a little distress marker and gel pen colour and fussy cut the cat.  He's thinking about it isn't he!   It will be snarky, I can see it in his eyes bwahaahahhahaahaaaaa.

Blue and Brown and Motorbikes

Hello Nomad friends.  Is it only me or do you feel it is time to drink hot chocolate????   I made a masculine card today using some pretty papers from Scrap and Me.


 I used two of the pattrened papers from the Something Else collection, partially fussy cutting around the motorbike.  I embossed part of the brown paper with a gemini embossing folder, die cut a tag and added stamping using various Kort og Godt stamps.  A blue star brad and done!!

Time Tag

Hello Nomad friends.  I've had fun making a giant tag this evening.  After midnight is always a fun time to craft.  

I cut the tag using a stamplorations die from patterned paper from a simon says stamp kit.  I cut the marilyn photo and some pink card using Funky Fossil filmstrip die.  I've used some scraps of holographic heart card, some black negative cut leftovers and a white scrap for the tag which I stamped the sentiment on.  I found the perfect brad! and added some pink halfpearls.

Dragon Glass

Hello Nomad friends.  I hope you are having a wonderful day.  The month seems to be whizzing away from me.  Again.  I found this lovely zig zaggy printed card and this wonderful dragon from Sweet November and a card was born.


I cut a piece of the patterned card and added it to a black card base.  I added a die cut star and the dragon, coloured with promarkers and fussy cut.  Then I added the sentiment coin and done.
