Some more class cards & a little bit of news :)

I have taken a break from playing with my new cricut cartridge ('Elegant Edges'- its gorgeous!) to write a quick post as I realised that I didn't come back to show the final 2 cards from my part of the Little Claire Crafting Day which was last Saturday (A week ago already- where does the time go?!).
Here is the third card we made. This is made using the 'Armful of wishes' stamp by Little Claire Designs, which is a gorgeous stamp that can be used for lots of different occastions. The image is coloured using ProMarkers. I have used black Bazzil cardstock & patterned papers which are also available from Little Claire. The cardblank & sentiment are from craftwork cards. The flowers are punched using a Martha Stewart Punch.

This is the final card, made using the 'The Right Time' set available from Little Claire's here. The stamp was coloured using ProMarkers. The papers are First Edition 'Up Up & Away', with Bazzil cardstock.

Now for my little bit of news... I was lucky enough to be contactes by Lisa from Craft your Passion Challenges, asking me to be a GDT for October :) Of course I said yes, and I am looking forward to getting on with my cards :)

Thanks for taking the time to look at my cards... hope you like them :) x

'Oh Christmas Tree'...

Hi again! It is very unlike me to get around to posting twice in two days... i'm quite proud of myself! I wanted to show you the other Christmas card we made yesterday in my class at the Wirral crafting day with Little Claire...
Again, this card was made using the lovely 'Oh Christmas Tree' stamp by Red Gingham, available only from Little Claire Designs. The image is coloured with Promarkers, the papers are from First Edition's 'Christmas Joy' paper pack, which I love :) I have paper pieced 3 of the parcels and the star with coordinating papers. The sentiment is from a Christmas Sentiments die-cut set by Red Gingham, mounted on card cut out with Lacey Circles Nestabilities.

I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:
Cute Card Thursday Challenge #182- Anything goes
One Stop Craft challenge #142- Girlie
Creative Inspirations #129- Anything Goes

Thank you for taking the time to look at my card :) I will be back in the next couple of days to share the other 2 cards from my class :) x

What a Lovely Day ... :)

Hello there :) it has been a couple of weeks since I posted here, as I have been getting ready for the Little Claire crafting day on the Wirral, which happened today.

Together Gaynor, Helen and I taught our first cardmaking classes. The ladies made cards with one of us, before swapping & moving on to another table. By the end of the day they had made lots of cards, drunk lots of tea & coffee and were quite tired, as were we!

It was a really lovely day which was very efficiently organised by Gill, Steve and Carol from Little Claire, who looked after us all wonderfully :)

In my class we made 4 cards, 2 Christmas and 2 'general'.

Here is the first of the Christmas cards we made:

The image is 'Oh Christmas Tree', by Red Gingham, coloured using ProMarkers. This card was made using 'Back to Basics Christmas' papers by Dovecraft & Bazzil cardstock. The buttons are also from the 'Back to Basics Christmas' range, Candi by Craftwork cards. The sentiment is one of the Red Gingham Christmas Sentiment Die-cuts, available from Little Claires, mounted on green cardstock cut with 'Lacey Circles' nestabilities.

I will try to be back tomorrow with the rest of the cards we made today :)

Thank you for taking the time to look at my card, hope you like it :) x
