Pretty Snow

Hello Nomad friends.  Just wanted to pop by and share a quick xmas card created from a couple of pieces I found on the desk.  

The pretty paper and foam sticker look like they were made for each other, so maybe they were LOL.

Coffee In The Woods

Hello Nomad friends.  Rattling through forgotten corners I found a pack of stardream glitter paper.  Ooooh, pretty! 

I covered a DL card base with a piece of green and a piece of ice blue stardream glitter paper.  I cut the blue with Stamplorations Stitched Snowy Hills die.  The bear is from The Greeting Farm, stamped, coloured with Promarkers and fussy cut.  Then I looked for some pine trees.  I found this really old Sizzix original die and cut two from green foam scraps and two from fluffy green scraps.  The two small trees were a gift from a friend.  Then I found some bits of green glitter card, cut it with Movers and Shapers distressed pine tree and layered them on the foam trees.  Plenty room top right for a happy/merry/beary/cosy/god and top left for a Xmas/Jul once I decide...........

Bear Hug

Hello Nomad friends.  I treated myself to this cute polar bear set from Hobby Art and here's my first card with it.  Love that oversized jumper he's wearing.   

I've used a slimline card, slightly shorter than DL cos I have a few undersized envelopes.  There he is, in his winter jumper, stamped and fussy cut.  I was inspired by the colours and the polar bear on the Foamtastic Crafting moodboard and further inspired to get out my scraps of black and white 2mm EVA foam and chop them into 5mm strips, various lengths, and arrange them like a zebra crossing bwahahahaahahaaaaa.  Then I stamped the Sending a bear hug sentiment.

Hello Nomad friends.

I stamped Gummipan's Distressed Circles twice down the LHS of a yellow card base with blue dye ink.  I stamped the Happy Birthday background on a piece of yellow card and cut with Gummiapan's Square Stitched die.  I used Gummiapan Linked Circle die and cut some white foam and used a couple of the circle clusters to support the Cocktail glass.  The glass was stamped with black archival, fussy cut and coloured with distress markers, Promarkers and glitter glue.  I also added some glitter glue on some of the RHS circles in the background.

Shrunken Giraffe

Hello.  Welcome.  It's Technique Thursday on the Rubber Dance blog today and I have done a make-your-own-patterned-tape tutorial.  Here's one of the cards that resulted.

I used lots of stamps on this but most came from Rubber Dance's Giraffe set.   

Hop over to the blog to get the details.  

Did you see the new stamp sets and a wonderful assortment of bright and fun inspiration from the team?  Remember, Rubber Dance is paying the postage for these new cuties to anywhere in the world until close of play on Saturday!!!

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
