Getting a Dragon in a Mail Box

Hello Nomad friends.  April has been BUSY!!!!  Lots of plans to create have sort of dropped by the way, but there is still time to join some April challenges.  The Lunar New Year Challenge is one I have had my eye on for a while so I sat down and made a Dragon birthday easel card with a Carmen's Veranda snarky sentiment.

I used sizzix colorize dragon in shades of red and pink.  I embossed the background panel with Simon Says Stamp Fireworks embossing folder.

It easels up to reveal the second part of the sentiment and a happy birthday stamped on the funky fossil printed paper panel.

Hoppy Birthday

Hello Nomad friends.  It's my birthday and I'm celebrating with a cute and fluffy bunny card for the Lost Coast Designs Cute and/or Fluffy challenge.  What's more cute and fluffy than a bunny!!!!

I don't usually use pink but I have been making a couple of baby girl cards and it was still lying there!!   I followed the De Egel sketch and stamped Lost Coast Designs Flowers Background pink on pink.  I stamped the bunny on a scrap of card and added little touches of colour to the eye and nose.  I cut the circle from a scrap of grey woodgrain card and found a bit of green that I had used a grass die on previously.  Perfect!!  I used some of the other small pieces of pink for fishtail banners and stamped the Happy Birthday from Carmen's Veranda Queen of Everything sentiment stamp.

 

You have until 23.59 PST on the 30th to join the Cute and/or Fluffy challenge.  The team will be posting more inspiration throughout the month so do pop over and check out their awesome makes.

Sheepy Spring

Hello Nomad friends.  I've made a spring card for Lost Coast Designs Cute and/or Fluffy challenge.  I've gone a bit more wooly than fluffy, but you gotta admit, she's a cutie.

I used Carmen's Veranda Sheep Doll and coloured her in spring greens.  The background stamp is Lost Coast Designs Daffodils Background.  I used a scallop die to cut my shaker aperture and also die cut some lovely green grass for her to stand on.

Dog In An Art Deco Box

Hello Nomad friends.  There are a few challenges featuring window/apertures and it's actually quite fun.  Tonight I have a dog with an art deco frame.

I used Poppystamps Geometric Deco Plate craft die for the frame and Whittle Cutie Dog die for the dog.  I cut the centre out of the card and paper pieced the frame which gave it back a bit of strength.

The card opens to reveal the dog sleeping on a mat, which is actually a pocket for a gift card, or some tea bags, or a tag or message.  Whatever you want really.

In The Cat House

Hello Nomad friends.  Having another big moment for the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity Cute and/or Fluffy challenge, and what's more cute and fluffy than cats!!

I was feeling lazy so I fussy cut everything.  Nightmare for some, but I enjoy fussy cutting and everything here was pretty simple.  I used Lost Coast Designs Yourba Adire Background and Fourth Dimension Background for my cat house.  Then I stamped three Yoga Cats and the Anchor Fish with blue ink and fussy cut.  I stamped ATC Many Cats on an inky scrap and added a die cut frame.

Peekaboo Butterfly

Hello Nomad friends.  Butterflies and blooms are always popular for birthday cards and I made this one very blue for a fire-born friend.

I've had this turquoise pierced card for a while so I decided today was it's day!  The central design is Memory Box Hopmeadow Circle die.  I fussy cut the angel wing after drawing round the outside of the die.  The butterflies are also Memory Box, Gloriosa Butterfly Duo Outlines.   Love that there is a seperate die for the butterfly body, which comes in handy so many places......  The sentiment is from Power Poppy.

it opens to reveal this.....
