A Trio of My Favourite Things

 Hello Nomad friends!  I'm over on the Let's Squash It! blog today with some of my favourite things to inspire for the current not paper, not card challenge.  We want you to use any embossing folder, emboss something that is not paper or card and include that on your card.  I decided to use this beautiful royal blue metal sheet I had and one of my all time favourite folders Sizzix Cirque.


I love embossing metal sheets.  It's gives such a gorgeous crisp and special background.  I decided Cirque gave a suitably spacey looking stage for my little X-cut rocket, which I cut out of a scrap of pale blue metal sheet.  Then I die cut the Stamplorations Happy Birthday, also from scraps.  Blue is my favourite colour and completes my trio of things I love in a very satisfying manner.

Dig out your folders and not paper/card things and get squashing.  The Let's Squash It! linky is open until the end of the month, so you have another week to join the fun. 

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

The metal sheet has embossed so well. I think I prefer it to card! Very well matched with the rocket and I like the sentiment die too. Thanks for playing along with The Male Room. X

Super card Gail - gosh i do love that vibrant blue. And such a fun theme for Let's Squash It as well. Apart from kitchen foil I' stuck for non-paper/card. If I recover soon and get time I'll give it a go!
