Tags for Him

Hello Nomad friends.  I made a couple of painty, stampy, manly tags.  

I brayered yellow and orange acrylic paint onto some card and knocked it back with some sponged white.  I did some white and black paint stamping and added some black and white details using the edge of my acrylic block.  I cut two tags using Stamplorations Luggage Tag dies and then stamped Stamplorations Enjoy the Ride car and Big Robots robot on other sections of the painty masterpiece and then fussy cut them.  I stamped the enjoy the ride sentiment directly on the tag and the I Love Every Bit Of You on a scrap of card, cut it and added to the tag.  Some autumn wool to finish and done!

Some times it fun to get messy!!   Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Vikings, Dragons and Linedancers

Hello Nomad friends.  I decided to enter the other two My Favourite Things 2021 Card Design Superstar challenge.  I started by making some Brusho backgrounds.  I saw a video by Sandy where she used salt to get some fun effects.  I made quite a few backgrounds, including some with salt, and then picked a few I liked.  The first one crashed and burned during my interactive experiments.  Well, it's not burnt, it just has a slider channel cut in it but I couldn't for the life of me make my viking roll!!!!   So...

I liked this background lots and thought it was perfect for my Viking, coloured with distress markers.  I decided to give him a dog companion, from New Best Friend set, and then decided he also needed a dragon!!  Don't we all????  This super little cutie is from the Magical Dragon set.  I was going to use a sentiment from MFT Lovable Leopard set about friends and adventures, but decided to leave it off.  Gonna enter this bright masterpiece to the Coloring Virtuoso challenge.

Then we had the moment with the slider that didn't go a planned.  So I decided to put on my big girl panties and try out the Twist and Turn Interactive Die-namic.  I loved this die when it was released, and then I've never used it!!!   Now is a good time me thinks.......  First step, consult the fab video by Laura that is at the bottom of the die page.  Next, give it a go........

Since there are two rotation points available I decided to use this happy pair of line dancers from the Saddle Up and Celebrate set.  I also used another of the Brusho backgrounds.  Oh, tip from me......  stamp your sentiment before assembling the card!!   I stamped the cowfolk, coloured and fussy cut them.  Then I put it all together.  Here we go....  poor man video

Yee Haw!!!

 

If you click on the picture they will get bigger and you can click through them.

  

If you click through them fast enough you should get some idea of the fun effect this die gives.  Did I sit there pulling and pushing that little tab for a minute or two??  Yes ma'am, I sure did!!!! 

Entering my line dance pair to the Innovation Master Challenge

Give Me Hugs

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with a quick and fun card featuring words and hugs.  Our challenge at the moment is Sentiment in Focus and we want to see at least 5 words on your stamped masterpiece.  I've used my easy formula of Lost Coast Designs/Carmen's Veranda background, image of your choice and Carmen's Veranda sentiment.

I used Carmen's Veranda Dice Background stamped with Shabby Shutters distress ink on a yellow card base.  I stamped Carmen's Veranda Tabby Cat on some DCWV cloud patterned paper and finished with Carmen's Veranda $8 Million sentiment.

I hope you get time to join the Sentiment in Focus challenge. 

You need to include at least 5 words on your stamped anything for a chance to win.

Thanks for visiting.  Hugz

Kitten Hugz

Hello Nomad friends.  I wanted to join the My Favourite Things 2021 Card Design Superstar challenge.  Here's my card for the Clean & Simple Genius category.  I don't really consider myself a superstar, or a genius, but I do like CAS.

I used MFT Big Hugs die and New Best Pal stamp set.  I started with a pale yellow card base.  I cut a piece of card with the Big Hugs die to make a stencil and then used a brush to blend orange ink onto my card base.  I stamped the girl with the cat on white card, coloured with distress markers, fussy cut and added her to the card.  Done!!

Free Bad Advice

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with a quick and fun card featuring words and leaves.  Our challenge at the moment is Sentiment in Focus and we want to see at least 5 words on your stamped masterpiece.  Since it's autumn and the leaves are swirling around today in the hefty breeze I decided to use one of my favourite leaf stamps, Lost Coast Designs Leaves Background.  

I used red, orange and yellow archival ink to stamp my leaf background and then stamped the Carmen's Veranda sentiment on vellum, using a little glue and 4 copper leaf brads to secure it to my card.  So much gorgeous detail on the leaves!

Sunset Stripes

Hello Nomad friends.  Memory Box challenge is stripes.  Hope wavy stripes are OK....

I decided to cut Memory Box Golf Club Landscape from three different shades of orange/yellow and mounted them on a yellow base card.  There is a little flag on these die cuts ie golf hole, but I decided I wanted more mountain ridges look, so the flags got the chop.  A hello from Poppystamps Hello Background plate and done.
