WoW Steampunk Santa

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the second of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge reveal.  I had a moment and chose white, white and white as the colour option for November and so many of the ladies went with it.  Masses of WoW inspiration.  Do hop over and check out all the awesome cards that have winged their way around the planet this month, white or not.  My card went to Imke in Germany

Options I chose were white, steampunk, with lots of fun Crafters Companion dies, and the sketch.

Do hop over and check out all the amazing cards in the REVEAL

A Trio of My Favourite Things

 Hello Nomad friends!  I'm over on the Let's Squash It! blog today with some of my favourite things to inspire for the current not paper, not card challenge.  We want you to use any embossing folder, emboss something that is not paper or card and include that on your card.  I decided to use this beautiful royal blue metal sheet I had and one of my all time favourite folders Sizzix Cirque.

I love embossing metal sheets.  It's gives such a gorgeous crisp and special background.  I decided Cirque gave a suitably spacey looking stage for my little X-cut rocket, which I cut out of a scrap of pale blue metal sheet.  Then I die cut the Stamplorations Happy Birthday, also from scraps.  Blue is my favourite colour and completes my trio of things I love in a very satisfying manner.

Dig out your folders and not paper/card things and get squashing.  The Let's Squash It! linky is open until the end of the month, so you have another week to join the fun. 

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Blue Cats and Rocket Rides

Hello Nomad friends.  I've been playing with some new to me dies from Creative Expressions.  I've wanted this Papercuts 3D The Cat's Whiskers die set for a while.  Really fun.  Here they are in blue.....

 

Mummy cat and baby cat.  So cute.  The small cat has two pieces either side that fold back and slot into the big cat, so it's freestanding, but folds flat to mail.

I also made this rocket card.  I used a dark grey card base and a pale grey panel cut with a stitch rectangle die.  The circles are negative cuts from the Solar Circle Background die and the rocket ship is part of the Industrial Chic Flying Santa die, without Santa, cut from a scrap of grey card.  Great emboss detail on this die and then I smudged with grey archival and used blue and red Promarkers.
