Wedding Dangles

Hello Nomad friends.  I've made another paper clip tag.  This one has a wedding theme.  These are great for using up scraps.  I am using 7cm wide paper clips for these.  

I used a navy and a pink scrap, cut them to layer on top of each other with a fishtail shape.  The word Bryllup, which is Norwegian for wedding, were a printed border on the edge of a designer paper sheet.  I cut Poppystamps silver bells from a scrap of script paper and fussy cut a pre-printed Craft Creations wedding couple.  The metal heart is from Korthobby and I did a twine wrap around the top to add a little extra interest.

Scraptastic

Hello Nomad friends.  Today I decided to see if I could work out what this paperclip card trend is all about.  Never heard of it??  I think it's a Scandi thing.  I certainly haven't seen giant paperclips featuring many other places.   They call em cards, but basically it's like a scrappy tag.  I suppose some people are making em as little folded cards, but why stick a paperclip on the top if you aren't gonna hang it from something??  Basically you need a paperclip, big as you like, some scraps and other crafty goodies like stamps, dies, embellishments etc. etc. etc.........   And then this happened........

Not sure I'm hooked, but am rather pleased with this.   And it used scraps, so win win.....   I used a scrap of card I'd brayered with PaperArtsy paints and then sprayed with gold shimmer mist.  I cut Aall and Create Number Crunching die from a scrap of patterned paper, stuck it on the painty scrap and cut it to size.  I had a bit of the painty scrap left over so I cut the two fishtail pennants which I edged with black ink, and used two other pieces and some screw effect brads to attach it to the paperclip.  I stamped Aall and Create Dashing Crow, coloured and fussy cut.  I added two clock metal charms from Korthobby, the clock on the paperclip and then a cute cuckoo clock on the crow's jacket.  Might make a fun bookmark LOL.

Pop Up Flower

Hello Nomad friends.  I asked my mum what she would like on her birthday card, and she said flowers.  So I made her a card with a happy Gerbera.

I cut the smiling flower from a printed card.  I made a window card using circle dies and acetate.  The sentiment panel is a stamp from Crafty Individuals.  I made a decorated paperclip to keep the card shut cos..........

It's a pop up!!!  

I attached the fussy cut Gerbera to a bitty ball I made from two shades of green Bazzill. 

I still haven't perfected the magnetic closer for my pop up cards, so I decorated a silver speech bubble shaped paperclip with three different strands of fancy wool, two glass leaves and a fancy brad.

I used one of the dies that comes with the bitty ball set to cut the two leaves and I added another Crafty Individuals stamped sentiment panel.

School's Out For Summer

Hello Nomad friends.  I recently got this very cool Gone Fishin' stamp from Emerald Creek and decided to join their current Dare - Be True to your School.  This guy is obviously at Fishing School LOL.  Or maybe he's finished for the summer.  Or maybe he's taking a day away.  The scenarios are endless.........

I found this project life 4 x 6 grid paper journal card which had paperclips all around the edge.  Both school related items!!   Then I stamped the Gone Fishin' dude with black archival ink.  

 

Using the black archival I stamped Carmen's Veranda Live In The Moment sentiment and then grunged up the edge of the journal card.  I decided to stick with the black and white for that masculine graphic effect.

Hello.  Welcome.  Did you have a fun World Card Making Day?  Well, they may call it a day, but some places are still celebrating and since I got stuck with admin yesterday I decided I would find some time to play.  

Ett Trykk have 12 cards to CASE.  Luckily you don't have to case them all!  But you must use Norsk Stempleblad stamps.  I have some of those.  Sheet 16B.  Not sure why I bought these cos I'm not a football fan.  It was probably the baby on the skateboard!  

Here's the card I made.  Very out of my comfort zone but it will come in handy for one of the football mad blokes in the family.  I used the same general layout and the yummy black white and yellow colour scheme. 

I made a brusho background and stamped the large football from the stamp set

I stamped the football boot, cut the panel with Stamplorations crazy stitched rectangle die and added some splats and stars.  Many layers of paper and that muddy football background.  I wanted some small footballs for the corners but was coming up blank til I remembered the shrink plastic!  So that's the same football stamp turned into a fun plastic dingsen.  The arrow paper clips are from IKEA and the gratulerer is a sticker
