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.

Beep Beep Bling Bling

Hello Nomad friends.  It's time for a little more inspiration for the current Let's Squash It! challenge, any embossing folder and use a shimmery/blingy medium. 

 

I decided to try the double emboss technique. I used Sizzix Arrows embossing folder, Wow! Cloud 9 embossing powder (NBUS) and Art by Marlene Roadtrip stamp (NBUS).  I embossed turquoise card with the Arrows folder, used a blue ink pad to give some extra contrast on the arrows, then versamark and the embossing powder.  Bling!!!!  I stamped the cute lady in the car, coloured with sharpies and fussy cut.  I stamped a TH sentiment on a vellum strip to finish.  

Dig out those shimmery shiny mediums, get squashing and join the fun.

Hobbylager Summer Meeting

Hello Nomad friends.  I'd like to thank Hobbylager for keeping me entertained yesterday and getting me back in the craft room.  I made a few cards and things inspired by their fun challenges.  If you are in Norway they have some great deals that last until midnight today.  They do not send international, but postage within Norway is very reasonable.  

I wanted to share this quirky card I made using Art by Marlene Groovy Animals stamps and paper piecing.  The background panel is just a piece of patterned paper.  I have lots of this.  I need to use it more.  The base card was in my stash and had already been stamped with Lost Coast Designs Heart Border.  It wasn't quite straight, which is maybe why I didn't use it, but it worked for this card.  I found a scrap of double sided patterned card which had some folds in it, but big enough bit to stamp the hippo on one side and the parachute and bathers on the other.  Fussy cut, paper piece and fun, fun, fun.......

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
