Welcome to My New Blog!


Hi everyone!
I've had some issues with my old blog for quite some time now... And today is the day to get the new blog up and running! Same old Nonni but just with a new blog! If you followed me in my past life at Runaway Cards... Please do follow me here at Nonni's Handmade Cards as well. And all new crafty peeps.... Welcome welcome welcome! 

I thought with the first post it would be fun to do something different and I was lucky to find something completely new to me! Crafty Milka is running a challenge called "I love Math Challenge #1".  Math has never been my thing... But I wanted to play along in this fun new challenge, I found it very inspiring. Please visit Crafty Milka's blog for all details. 


I was inspired of Milka's own card and of the overlapping circles in her talented guest designer's Neha's card. I also took some inspiration from the positive/negative drawing of Milka's, that made me choose the zebra embossing folder for the bg. 

The flower stamp comes from PTI and the sentiment along with the circles is from a Simon Says Stamp set. I used Memento inks for my circles and back Versafine for the flowers. The sentiment is popped up with fun foam. A rather simple card but surely fun to send to a good friend. 

Thanks for popping by, happy crafting!
