Less is More Challenge #378

Happy Friday!! I have been having fun in my craft room the last couple days. I have been using NBUS (Never Before Use Stuff-acronym coined by Darnell) that has been collecting dust.

My first card I kept it really simple. I used Docrafts *"Moroccan Tiles" dies to cut out scrap pieces.


My inspiration was from the Less is More Challenge #378, Sketch 24. It was to use the sketch below as my inspiration.



I then used the smallest square die in the *Umbrella Crafts Nested Squares die set to die cut four squares to go under the decorative die cuts.


I layered the squares over the kraft A2 card front and then adhered a My Favorite Things banner sentiment in the middle.


I really like how this came out and cannot wait to use the other dies in the *"Moroccan Tiles" die set.

My second card is a baby card that I made with Lawn Fawn's *"Little Bundle" stamp and die set for my cousin. He and his wife had a beautiful little girl.


I created the background by shading *"Tumbled Glass" Distress Ink and using Copic markers for grass.


The little clothes were die cut from scraps of patterned paper and then I used Nuvo Crystal drops for the buttons.


Well that is all for me tonight. I hope you all have a fabulous night!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Two lovely cards, Nora. The baby card is adorable and your Moroccan card is so pretty. Love the colours on Kraft. Using NBUS and scraps are a bonus. Thank you for joining us at Less is More. x

What a lovely pair of cards Nora! I love the simplicity of the first card. The mix of the kraft card and the green tiles is great. The second card is so cute and I love how you made the clothes using patterned paper.

Pretty colors on your first card Nora! I like the delicate design. And your baby card is just as cute as it can be!

You've nailed the LIM sketch Nora - those die cuts are perfect for it! And your baby card is very sweet...I'm sure your cousin will love it. I seem to make less and less baby cards nowadays...must be an age thing!

O my goodness!!! I love both of these, Nora! You have me seriously contemplating the Moroccan tiles set - I love how you've used them on this card! And the little clothes line card is simply too precious for words! Love your copic marker grass, too!!
