One Day It Will Be A Movie

Hello.  Welcome.  Gosh, what interesting times we are living in.  I hope you have plenty of craft supplies to see you through the chaos.  We had a little sunshine today so I was pottering around in the garden a bit.  Then a little trip to the craft room to stamp some winter flowers.

I used Crafters Companion BeBunny Poinsettia stamp, masked and stamped Stamplorations Poinsettia Row.  I coloured with Promarkers.  I stamped the round sentiment from the bunny set on black card and embossed with gold powder.  I cut a couple of the poinsettia points so I could tuck it behind them and mounted on a red card base.

How Merry Is Your Moose?

Hello Welcome.  I have been working on this one for a few days cos it just would not come together.  Then this morning Mr Mojo says, tweek that, add this, perfect!!!!   The challenge was set by Jo at Christmas Kickstart and the theme was Christmas Cheer aka Alcohol.  You had me stumped for a bit Jo, but we got there in the end!!!!

I stamped the cocktail glass from Gummiapan and coloured it to resemble a Snowball.  It should be a bit more cloudy, but we are going to go with it.  The Moose and Merry Christmoose sentiment from Taylored Expressions Look Who's Talking set fitted perfectly!!!!  Then, just to clarify and bring it all together, I added this perfect little rider.  So come on!  Let's make Snowballs!!!!!

Advocat, Sparkling Lemonade, Crushed Ice, Lime and a Cherry!

I used distress markers to colour and a little neon green gel pen on the lime slice and glitter glue to help indicate crushed ice.  The glitter isn't showing so much, but it looks pretty sparkly in the real. 

Thanks for visiting.   Hic!!  Hugz

Hello Bird Dog

Hello Nomad Friends.  Weather wise the day started surprisingly well, and has ended predictably wet!!!  Changeable is what they call it.  I got a flower bed in the garden tidied this morning and then adjorned to the craft room for some stamp/cut therapy.

I used the Santa from the Paper Smooches Santa Paws set the other day, but there are other stamps in this set where xmas is optional.  I decided to stamp this cute long dog and use the Fused Frame die for a CAS card.  I stamped the dog and then the bird, using Bluebird archival ink on a piece of card that matched my card base, fussy cut round the dog's nose, and then did a tricky cut with the Fused Frame die.  Then I cut the frame again from the darker blue card and added them to the card base in an ascetically pleasing manner.  I added a bit of ground using Weathered Wood distress marker.  The hello is a Stamplorations Skinny Sentiment die, cut from the same card as the base and frame.

Hockey Pro

Hello.  Welcome.  A little sporting dude from Panduro's Boys stamp set.

I stamped the boy on a piece of white card and masked.  I ripped a piece of paper and blended Mowed Lawn distress ink for the grass.  I masked it, then masked off a strip and blended Pine Needle distress ink.  I coloured the little dude and stamped the good luck.  I cut the panel with Sizzix Postage Rectange die and added it to a green base card.  Good luck little dude.

Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful.

Hello.  Welcome.  Happy International Women's Day.  Celebrating all thing woman.  Thought I'd make a card with a Lost Coast Designs stamp of Frida Kahlo.  A strong and inspirational woman.

I used some concentric circle patterned paper mounted on a black card base.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs Frida Woodcut on white card with Carnation archival.  I cut around Frida, there's more background on the stamped image, and added her to the corner of the card.  I stamped Carmen's Veranda Broken, Look Beautiful sentiment using black archival.  I find this one particularly uplifting and quite applicable to Frida and my sister.

"She made Broken look beautiful and strong look invincible.......

She walked with the universe on her shoulders and made it look like wings'

How Now Black and White Cow

Hello Nomad friends.  Made a black and white happy birthday card with this really cool cow from Ocean Heart Hobby.

I stamped Ocean Heart Hobby 002 Cow on white card and cut it with Gummiapan's Circle die.  Then I cut the same die from black card and added it and the cow to a white card base.  I stamped the #Gratulerermeddagen from the Cow set on white card, added some black and white layers and stuck it on the card.

Santa's Pillow

Hello.  Again!!   Well Mr Mojo sure has got himself fired up today.  He decided box making was fun, and the cold wind gets you thinking of winter, so sticking with the christmas theme we made a cute little pillow box with santa tag.

Still in The Works Christmas papers.  These are a lovely weight for card bases and boxes.  

I've used a 6x6" piece for this box so 4 out of one sheet!!  Now that's a dealy!!   This one has these fun dotty trees on it.

The snowflake is a Sizzix die cut from glitter paper and that fun santa is from Paper Smooches Santa Paws set.  I punched a hole in his head (!!!!!!) an added a bit of gold twine.

Thanks for dropping by.  We'll be back soon cos we are in da groove.  Hugz
