Shaken Hearts

Hello Nomad friends.  I'm over on the Blank Page Muse blog today with a shaker card using the beautiful large Femmes Lady with Hearts stamp.   I decided to turn the three largest hearts into shaker windows.

This is such a beautiful stamp. I embossed the image, coloured with Promarkers and used micro beads in the heart shaker windows.  Hop over to the blog for all the details and more photos of the process.

Hello Nomad friends.  I'm kicking off my month here at my crafty corner inspired by the colours over at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity.  It all zesty, with Lemon, Lime and Black creations popping up all over.  I've used Gus, and a Carmen's Veranda sentiment that is just so ME!!!!

Only sometimes you understand!!!   I also used the wonderful Carmen's Veranda Dice Background for my Lemon, Lime and Black masterpiece.  

Do hop over to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity to check out all the details, see more inspiration from the team and link up your Lemon, Lime and Black creations.  See you there.  Hugz

Wedding Season

Hello.  Welcome.  Janis reminded me today about the Unstampabelles challenge. I have been meaning to join this all month!  I even found the perfect metal charms a week or so ago.   They have been sitting on my desk and amazingly have not been stolen by gremlins.  Then some new to me Marianne Design dies came and I decided it's now or never......

Actually love this!!   I used two Marianne design sets and cut two doilies from silver mirror card and layered them.  Then I added the two metal charms from Korthobby.  The intricate square and heart looked so pretty together.  A Kort og Godt die cut sentiement, which means dear bridal pair, and done.  Simple, but beautiful.

Paradise Tours

Hello.  Welcome.  I seem to be in a bit of a shaker mood.  Here's a shaky double decker on it's way to a birthday party.  

I cut Memory Box Double Decker from rainbow corrugated card and added a Stamplorations Bird of Paradise, also rainbow coloured, as the driver.  I used acetate, craft foam and gold glass micro beads to make the shaker elements in the windows.  I cut the wheels from gold and black card and embossed them with Darice Retro Circles embossing folder.  I  used the same folder to emboss the card I used to back the shaker windows.  I used Sizzix Tyre Track embossing folder for the ground and added a charm on a ball link chain from Korthobby.  I stamped a few stars behind the charm so the driver has something to look at when it is removed.  It will make a very fun dangle for a phone or some such.  It reads til den kuleste gutten (to the most cool boy).   I stamped the happy birthday sentiment from Rubber Dance on vellum and added it to the side of the bus.

Quick! Penguins

Hello.  Gail here today with a terrible cute and very quick make. 

Squuueeeeee!  Isn't that little penguin just adorbs???  Perfect for a kiddy christmas card, although I know a number of adults who would probably be smitten as well.  This is Blank Page Muse Curious Penguin with Small Fish.  You can also buy this penguin and some others the same style plus a load of small stamps as a sheet, Penguins on Ice Winter Holiday Stamp Sheet.  I think I will be using these a lot LOL.  I stamped the penguin and fish with black archival and coloured some details with a red and a yellow sharpie.  Use Pumice Stone distress ink and a water brush on the penguin and his scarf, and Spiced Marmalade on the fish.  Do a watercolour wash of Stormy Sky and Salty Ocean distress inks to make the background.

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you get time to stamp something pretty today.  Hugz

Man In The Moon

Hello.  Welcome.  It's my Nan's birthday today.  Happy Birthday Nanny.  Love you millions.  I was lucky enough to do a video call to her yesterday when the family had gathered to wish her well.  Being in another country means I couldn't make it in person, but a big huge thanks for my sister making the video call possible.  Here's nanny blowing out her 96 candles!!!

Way to go Nanny!!!

I have a fun mixed media tag over on the Colourcrafts blog today.  I had a wonderful time gathering scraps and fun elements to make this.  It's got super bling with shiny bright Silver Aztec Metallic paint and Iridescent Flash Brusho SprinkleIt.  This is a really cool product that will stick to any wet medium.  You only need a tiny amount to give a super bling look.   

The Moonface is from a piece of MME patterned paper and I framed it with a chipboard ring.  I used a stencil and the Silver Aztec paint to make the stripes.  The sentiment is from Carmen's Veranda stamped on ripped vellum.  I  added a balllink chain, a lucky metal heart charm and a little bell, cos you need a bit of jingle, all from Korthobby.no.    

Do hop over to the Colourcraft blog and check out all the fun details.

As Above, So Below

Hello Nomad friends.  Tonight I have made a tag with the wonderful MFT Viking stamp.  Love this guy and he fits right in here in Norway.  I based my tag on this weeks MFT Sketch.

I started by stamping MFT Viking on a scrap of white card, coloured with Promarkers and fussy cut.  He's in his summer clothes.  They are just like his winter clothes, just more green.  Then I found this cute Plain Jane chipboard.

My camera had a bit of a mare with this picture!!  I've painted the chipboard piece with Colourcraft Aztec Blue Metallic Lustre paint.  Then I embossed with Sizzix Cirque embossing folder.

I cut a tag from a scrap of gold stardream card and stamped the wheel from MFT Saddle Up and Celebrate.  Thought it matched the shield a bit LOL. The sentiment is from this set as well.  I cut a scrap of pp for the bottom of the tag, smearing on a bit of Salty Ocean distress ink, added the chipboard and the Viking.

I stamped the sentiment and added some snowball wool and done!!
