Crow Fly By

Hello Nomad friends.  Today I am over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity with some inspiration for day 23 of our 31 Days of Halloween celebration.  Today I have made a slimline card with a few of my favourite Lost Coast Designs stamps.

I started with a slimline card made from some slightly dotty patterned card.  I stamped MRaven1 with black archival ink and masked it.  I stamped Drips Background using scarlet archival ink and goth shrine with London Fog ink.  I added some smudgy distress ink colour and part of Carmen's Veranda When Witches Go Riding sentiment.  

 

 

Link up your Halloween inspired projects.  Anything related to the season, spooky, fruity, fun, scary or cute.  Real rubber or clear stamping and the theme must be the focus of your project.  A small stamped sentiment in a sea of die cuts or digi images will not qualify to win the prize and you may be deleted or fed to the giant pumpkin!!!!  Bwahahhaaahaha.

Winter Is Coming!!!!

Hello Nomad friends.  Last one for today I promise.  I am currently dreaming of hot chocolate and marshmallows.  Here's a snowman to keep you amused.

Isn't he cutealicious!!  I used a hammered card base for that snowy look.  I added a piece of glossy patterned paper that I cut away at the bottom for that snowy drift look.  Snowman is sizzix dies cut from lots of white scraps and a few other colours.  The sentiment is a flattened bottle cap and says merry christmas in Norwegian, but you knew that didn't you.

Santa Seminar - Shakin' All Over

Hello Nomad friends.  Yep, me again.  Here with a shaker card and santa with some advice on shakers.  Love em?? Hate em??  Today santa is having fun strutting his stuff and shakin' his trees. 

Can't get enough of that wiggly circle die and paired kraft and plaid and sizzix papercraft santa.  I stamped the sentiments and snowflakes using Kort og Godt stamps and black archival.  I filled the shaker with little christmas trees.  Shake it santa, shake it!!  Added a few narrow strips of red for a fun broken border.  Santa is all scraps and the kraft is a ex-pizza box.

Wooden Gnomes

Hello Nomad friends.  I hope you are having a lovely day.  I have made a few chrissymassy things today in between doing a few little jobs in the garden, so, all in all, a good and productive day.  Here's some little tags for some packages using some paper scraps cut with the wiggly circle die from Kort og Godt.

 

These are 7cm tags so cute but big enough to be able to write on LOL.  I have been chopping up this pink snowflake paper the last few days so I cut the bits I had left for 5 tags.  Then I found a bit of green with dots on it and a white back and used that behind.  I rattled through the white scraps and used a fancy spellbinders die to cut them into shape and stamp the Kort og Godt sentiment.  The gnomes are little wooden dudes I have had hanging around for a while.  Aren't they cute.  I finished with some red glittery twine.

A Side Order of Santa

Hello Nomad friends.  Hope you are having a wonderful and creative weekend.  I am feeling the jingle this weekend and want to kickoff with a slanted easel card.  This is the first time I have made one of these and I didn't make it easier for myself by using a shaped card base and a directional paper.  Ah well, I think it kinda works OK.

Here it is closed for sending.  I used sizzix patterned paper and Retro Santa dies with scraps.  I cut my base with a Kort og Godt fancy die that I love.   I am sure it will be featuring again soon......

 My easel opens to the side and I used some more scraps and stamps from Kort og Godt for my sentiment panel stop with snowflakes and a couple of star brads.

Halloween Darling

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today with another Halloween inspired make for the 31 Days of Halloween celebration.  Today I have made a slimline card using Carmen's Veranda sentiment and Staircase with Lost Coast Designs Dark Girl Dolly, Fourth Dimension and Bat Boy. 

I stamped part of Lost Coast Designs Fourth Dimension on the bottom of the card in black ink and added some pink distress colour.  I stamped Carmen's Veranda Staircase with grey ink and gave it a old paper distress ink colour and fussy cut.  Dark Girl Dolly was stamped on white card, coloured with promarkers and fussy cut.  The bats were left over from my day 11 make.  For the sentiment I used Carmen's Veranda Hot and Sexy sentiment, which is usually birthday orientated.  I stamped the top part of the sentiment, added the words 'for Halloween' and then stamped the bottom part of the sentiment.  I arranged all the elements on the card base and done!!

 

 

Hop over and join the fun.  Link up your Halloween inspired projects, anything related to the season, spooky, fruity, fun, scary or cute.  Real rubber or clear stamping and the theme must be the focus of your project.  A small stamped sentiment in a sea of die cuts or digi images will not qualify to win the prize and you may be deleted or fed to the giant pumpkin!!!!  Bwahahhaaahaha.

Square Bats That Look Round

Hello Nomad friends.  I am over on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity today sharing some inspiration for the 31 Days of Halloween celebration.  The team are posting awesome Halloween related makes every day this month and we want to invite you to join us, so do hop over and check out the fun.

Today I made a forest scene using Lost Coast Designs Dracula, Tall Trees Background and Bat Boy

 

I made the background using the second alcohol ink background I made the other day.  I had already made one and was just stamping off the inks still on the felt pad, so this one is more subtle.  I used Midnight archival ink and stamped the Tall Trees and used Sunflower archival in a circle of felt for the moon.  Then I stamped Dracula and Bat Boy on white card and coloured with distress markers.  I fussy cut dracula and the heads of the bat boys and added them to the card.
