Making Stuff Sort Of Day

Hello Nomad friends.  I think we probably have about 6 inches of snow on the ground after repeated showers yesterday and the day before.  The temperatures have come up a bit and it still looks like it could go either way.  I have taken advantage of a snowy weekend to make a few cards.  

First, a Christmas card with a stamped wordy background.  I put a variety of Christmas sentiment clear stamps together on my acrylic block, repeatedly stamped them on pale grey card and embossed with red embossing powder.  Then I smeared the whole thing with red ink.  I added a couple of Signature die cut fa lla lla lla llamas, in scarves of course.

Gotta llove a llama.  I used some scraps of light grey card for the llama's and some snippets of red and yellow to dress them up.

My second card is based on the sketch at Creative Sketchy Girls.  I decided to make a masculine birthday easel card and repeat the sketch inside too. 


I used a blue cog paper from Docrafts and some scraps of brown patterned card that I cut into thin strips.  The vintage car toppers are from Craft Creations (shop closed).  I've had them a long time.  The metal cog charm is from Korthobby.no.

  1. Thanks for coming to play in the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND with the first card on this post. After you finish tobogganing come up to the Treehouse where we are serving toasted crumpets and hot chocolate to keep warm!

    Such sweet Llamas! Love how you created the wordy background on the first card - a good tip to remember for the future.
