Textured Christmas Tree Tags

Hello Nomad friends.  My thoughts are firmly on Christmas crafting.  I usually stick with cards until December, but there are a few challenges looking for tags, so tags it is!!  I've made a trio using the lovely Rubber Dance Textured Christmas Trees stamps and bows from Rubber Dance Cosy Christmas.  

I used a Gummiapan Old Tag die to cut three tags from grungy card.  I stamped the trees, masked and stamped the hearts and stars which are also included in the Textured Christmas Trees set.  The bows are from Cosy Christmas, simply stamped on red card and fussy cut.   I love this set for all the lovely christmas accessories.   A great one if you are making some Christmas ephemera.  I coloured the trees with distress markers.   Textured Christmas Trees are available as red rubber or as an A5 clear set which includes some extra stamps and today is the last chance to order your Rubber Dance Christmas stamps with 10% off! 

 

Remember, if you are creating anything with Rubber Dance stamps this month, whatever your inspiration, please post a new project in our Facebook  group or over on Instagram. You must have used at least one of our stamps on your project to join. If you are posting on Instagram use the hashtag #rubberdancemoodboard and tag us @rubberdance in your post! cos someone is going to win €10 to spend in the Rubber Dance store!

Running Through The Flowers

Hello Nomad friends.  I have some Spooktacular Florals inspiration over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today.    We want to see your Day of the Dead makes or anything featuring flowers with a spooky or sombre twist.   I've made a tag with the awesome Day Of The Dead Man by Lost Coast Designs and one of my most favourite sentiments from Carmen's Veranda.

Be afraid?  Very afraid??  I die cut the tag and stamped with Lost Coast Designs Flowers Background with pink ink and Carmen's Veranda Free Bad Advice using black archival ink.  I stamped Day Of The Dead Man on some white card, coloured with distress markers, fussy cut him and added it him to the tag.  A little fancy wool and done!

 

Share your Day of the Dead makes or anything featuring flowers with a spooky or somber twist.  Real rubber or clear stamping and the theme must be the focus of your project for a chance to win Lost Coast dollars!

Happy Mail Day

Hello Nomad friends.   It's the 2nd of the month so time for the October Card Chain Challenge reveal.  32 gorgeous handmade cards went whizzing around the multiverse last month.  Some whizzed faster than others LOL, but even the Greek post office have stepped up and out performed themselves this month!!   Sorry, internal joke, cos our Greek friends often seem to wait a long time for delivery of their cards.    Anyway, I sent this card to Joanne in the UK.  This one had a life of it's own and started going in one direction and then changed it's mind!!!  

 

I used a shaving foam background and added a spiderweb embossed frame.  Penny Black Treats dog and Crafty Individuals sentiment. 

Do hop over and check out all the amazing cards in this month's reveal.

If you would like to join the fun you can SIGN UP for November until the 6th.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Travel Expands The Mind

Hello Nomad friends.  I hope you have had a happy Halloween, if you are into that sort of thing.  October has been a bit of a challenging month for me but I am hoping for a more gentle handling from November.  In Norway that's the month to celebrate Dad.  Unfortunately mine is no longer here but I decided to make a father's day card and celebrate all the dads. 

 

 

I used a panel of black card, embossed with Cuttlebug Arrows embossing folder and smeared with Antique Linen distress oxide, mounted on a dark blue card base. Added a layer of ripped corrugated card with an Aall and Create die cut, both smeared with Salty Ocean distress oxide. I stamped the Aall and Create crow on white card and fussy cut him. Far (dad in Norwegian) is letter stickers and Hurra for deg sticker both from Papirdesign. A few wooden stars and done!

Catoglyphs

 Hello Nomad friends. Only 2 more sleeps til the big night bwahaahaahahaaaa.  I'm over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with some mummy fun.

I hope you have been enjoying the spooktacular projects from the team.   If you haven't had a chance to see them all then grab some candy and scroll down.  It's a Treat!!!!

Here's Mummy, sitting in his favourite place in the crypt with a couple of feline friends.

 

I used a piece of grungy card for my base and stamped Lost Coast Designs Flagstone Background with grey archival ink.  I stamped Lost Coast Designs ATC Many Cats on a piece of the grungy card with Sepia archival ink and added it to the tomb decor.  Mummy and the Cats were stamped and fussy cut and I used some Dirty Sand embossing powder to give them somewhere to be. 

 

Remember you also have two challenges on the blog to choose from so link up your makes for a chance to win.  We are also one of the sponsors of the Cat Lovers Hop, so another chance to win lovely Lost Coast Designs stamps this month.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
