Cat Waffle

Hello Nomad friends.  I love cats.  I always think of them as a female accessory.  I know there are blokes who like cats, but even in blue this feels feminine to me.

The stamp is Waffle Flower.  The frame is cut with an ATC die and embossed with a sizzix folder.  The sentiment is birthday happy.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz.

Everything You Need Except Vitamin C

Hello Nomad friends.  Well, I'm off to a brisk start this morning which is highly unusual for me!!   Even the hens fell off their perch when the breakfast bell rang early.   It's a bit of a wet and grey Maundy Thursday so now my little darlings are all fed and watered I will be making my self cosy in my crafty space.  But first a little decoupage......

 The egg with flowers is printed so I just needed to clippy clippy.  I added the mini magnolia bunny suit girl cos she was lurking with intent.  I was aiming for damson with my card base and added two panels cut with an ATC die.  I diecut some diamonds into the top one and added fussy cut butterflies and rhinestones to both. 

Dimension shot.  The egg is actually flat!!   Wish I could colour like that........

Tree Tree Tree

Hello Nomad friends.  Look trees!!!

I've used overpriced technology from sizzix for the trees, which were all cut out of patterned paper scraps and then smeared with mowed lawn distress.  I used a real ancient lilac pearlescent aperture card and a piece of patterned glitter card I bought in the UK in February.  It's really gorgeous in the real.  Then I added the God Jul (Merry Christmas) die cut sentiment.

It's Penguining To Look A Lot Like Cake Time

Hello Nomad friends.  Lots of Easter fun going on with some of the Norwegian groups and one of them wants a birthday card with an non-traditional birthday stamp.  So I decided to go with penguins, like you do.  Everyone loves penguins!   Why relegate them to Christmas!!   Especially when they have cake and chocolate tea!!!!!

I cut my card base from a piece of fancy edge bazzill.  I decided the large scallops were fun and added a mid green layer.  Then I embossed a piece of cream card with Darice birthday embossing folder and liberally smeared with Twisted Citron distress ink.  I cut an ATC, dusted with emerald and lime green brusho powder and spritzed with water.  When it was dry I embossed it with the same folder, added the magical birthday stamped panel and that cute penguin, stamped, coloured and fussy cut.  I added the atc to the centre of the card and a couple of stamped, coloured and fussy cut Poppystamp Love Note penguins as additional support at the bottom.

 Open sesame!!!  Why sesame???  Anyway, I digress.........
Inside we have a pocket made with an offcut of the bazzill scallop edge card, more Poppystamp penguins and the guy in the middle is fetching the cake!!!   I grounded the penguins on some grass die cut from some green card with gold paint splatts.  The penguins are coloured with Promarkers.  The tea is chocolate and very tasty............

Cupcakes, Coffee and Bunny Slippers

Hello Nomad friends.  I saw today that Pink and Main are celebrating 10 years.  Congrats Pink and Main.  I like Pink and Main.  Their images are cute.  So I had a rattle through my Pink and Main stamps and found this bunny slippered coffee drinking fan.

I mounted some fun polka dot paper on a slimline card base and added some super size cupcake ribbon.   Then I stamped and coloured the image and die cut it with a stitch circle die.

Soaring Feline

Hello Nomad friends.  We have a cat.  She loves high places.  She has got herself in trouble in high places!   Luckily there is the whole 9 lives thing.  I am sure she is missing a few of her 9!   I was wondering today if cats like to jump trying to catch birds just for the hunt, or is there something with that whole weightless, almost flying feeling.  

Soar
with your heart full of
moonlight
and your soul full of
stars

I've used Funky Fossil Deco Luxe designer paper for the panel layered on gold glitter card.  I stamped the cat from Feline Magic on another one of the Deco Luxe papers, using the gold and grey marbling of the paper to highlight the cat image, then added some metallic sharpie colour before fussy cutting.  I stamped the sentiment from the Midnight Feather stamp set and added some MFT die cut gold mirror card stars.

Hope you are feeling creative today.  I am, and that's not been common recently, so maybe I'll be back again soon.  Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Dazzling Christmas

Hello Nomad friends.  Next time you are passing by drop in and see this one in the real cos my camera had challenges!!!   I've used some more of that pile of green patterned paper scraps I dug out the other day and cut some hexagons using a small die.  Then I arranged them down the centre of a green/copper foil panel.

I found some yellow glittered foam and cut with a snowflake die.  Maybe I should have gone with the lime green??  But the foam cut really well with the die and I love the dimension it gives.
