Going Green

Hello Nomad friends.  Top of the morning to you.  Happy St Patricks Day.  May all your leprechauns be lucky.  In celebration of my irish friends, of which I have one, I rolled out this fine fellow from Pink and Main.  He's my paddy's day go to......

I went with yellow base card and panel, embossing the panel with Pink and Main Garden Gate embossing folder and smearing with twisted citron distress ink.  I stamped Pink and Main Lucky Charm on white card, coloured with distress markers and fussy cut.  The sentiment is from the P&M Good Vibes set and I used a spellbinders die for the fancy panel.  

Enjoy your day.  We will be eating traditional St Patricks Day fare, lasagne.

A Meaningful Lie Detector

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with some seriously funny inspiration for the Make It Funny Challenge.  

I used Lost Coast Designs Leaves Background with prickly pear distress ink.  The jury is out on whether the stamp or the ink pad is slightly contaminated with lingering autumn shades LOL.  Then I stamped Lost Coast Designs Face With Feathers and the Carmen's Veranda sentiment with black archival ink.  I tried colouring directly onto the panel with my gel pens, but it wasn't working, so I stamped the face on white card, coloured, fussy cut the bits and glued them in place.

 

 

Carmen's Veranda have so many funny, profound and meaningful sentiments do hop over and check them out.  New ones added regularly to the top of the page.

You have all month to share your funny stamped anythings. Please read the updated rules before entering. Real rubber or clear stamping and theme must be the focus of your project for a chance to win Lost Coast $$$$$'s.   We need at least 20 entries to award the prize.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Lamby

Hello Nomad friends.  Finally, I have used these dies that I have had for ages.  What a cute result.  Might have to crank my die cutting arm into mass production.  I think a herd of these would be delightful.  

I used Creative Craft Products Easter Lamb Egg Holder dies.

The Notorious Hamster

Hello Nomad friends.  Are you feeling the green??  Spring is my favourite time for greens, with all the shades appearing as flora awakens.  And then there's St Patrick’s Day.  I think this mouse is practising....

I've used a myriad of green patterned papers and House Mouse Cheers stamp coloured with distress markers.  The wine sentiment is by Funky Fossil and the cute little curls are cut with Spellbinders dies, one of which got hijacked by gremlins literally under my nose!!!   I do hope it reappears soon.   The gremlins have been very troublesome recently.  I think it's something to do with lunar eclipses and galloping retrogrades.

Pop Up Egg

Hello Nomad friends.  I am having a creative day.  I was actually playing with Alice the other day, along with the queen of hearts, but the idea has progressed, and I gotta say I love the result!!!!

I had so much fun with this!!!    After all these years I still don't have a huge egg shaped die so I hand cut the egg shaped card.  Please excuse the wobbly edges.  The scene got built around Paper Nest Dolls Alice who was stamped on white card, coloured with distress markers and fussy cut.  I used a piece of UHK Gallery patterned paper for the egg layer then scraps of patterned and plain card for my scene details.  I used Poppystamps Whittle Field and Tree die for the trees and the field, Poppystamps Leaping Little Bunnies dies for the little bunnies, and Poppystamps Echo Blossom dies for the clouds.  Hey, it's wonderland!!!   We can have flower shaped patterned paper clouds if we want.

Then I truly had a moment and turned it into an easel card, which made it perfectly wonderful!!

Happy International Womens Day

Hello Nomad friends.  Today is all about celebrating women and I am taking some time for myself to craft.  I made this cute little tag using found items and a sentiment from Aall and Create.

I cut the tag base and corrugated layer with Daisy Mae distressed tag dies.   The layered label and tiny flowers are Spellbinders cuts.  I attached the tag with tiny heart brads.  The art doll is from an Art by Marlene die cut pad and a bit of fancy wool to finish.

Fling Your Flamingo

Hello Nomad friends.  It was really springy out in the garden today.  Bit of sun, not much wind, so first midday coffee break in the garden this year, and also first lot of laundry line drying this year.  Win win!!  

The De Egel challenge of Fairytale is ending very soon and I have been meaning to join in.  They kindly dropped a reminder this afternoon, so while I ate my dinner Mr Mojo ruminated on our options, and reminded me I have these Paper Nest Doll stamps barely used.  So cute, and perfect for the young ladies, so I grabbed some Memory Box dies and went birthday

I used some patterned paper for my panel and then cut Memory Box Leafy Tree Frame from yellow holographic mirror card.  Isn't that pretty!!!   I stamped Paper Nest Doll Queen of Hearts on white card, coloured with distress markers and fussy cut.  The happy birthday is from Memory Box Floral Window stamp/die set.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
