Making Cards Magazine...

Hi there! I hope you are all planning to have a relaxing Sunday... I know I am- hopefully to involve some crafting later on :)

I have just stopped by this morning to share a project which I have made using Little Claire images and which appears in the current (April) edition of Making Cards Magazine...

And here is a closer look at the card:

For this card I have used the lovely 'Garden Set' by Little Claire Designs, along with one of their tag cards which I have punched using an EK success punch. The image is coloured with ProMarkers, mounted on black cardstock. I have used wooden embellishments, pearls, gems, buttons and ribbons from my stash to decorate it.

I am really pleased with how the project has turned out in the mag, thank you to Gill & Steve from Little Claire's for using my card :) x

New Designs from Little Claire- 'Man Tree' :)

Hello there! I have scheduled this post, something which I don't normally do, so hopefully this will work :)

Well today is the first of the new releases from Little Claire Designs. They have got a great new range of stamps for men to show you this week, one each day :)

Today is the release of... drum roll... the 'Man Tree' !!!

This is a fun image to use and here is one of the cards I have made using this stamp:

The image is coloured using ProMarkers and mounted on black cardstock. The stripy paper is Echo Park 'Dots and Stripes' and the diamond patterned paper is My Mind's Eye 'Fly a Kite'. The sentiment is from Little Claire's 'Little Beauties' set. I have added a gem to the tag and some card candi to the top right hand corner.

Please head over to the Little Claire Blog to check out the lovely cards made by my fellow DT members :) and remember to check back each day this week for another new release!

Bye for now! :) x

New from Little Claire's- The Great Outdoors

These 2 cards have been made using 'The Great Outdoors' stamp set from Little Claire's which is due to be released soon. The set includes the 2 main images you can see here, the sentiment 'enjoy every moment' as well as some smaller stamps :)

This is a really simple card, made using the sketch from a recent Little Claire's challenge. The papers are Kaisercraft (Jungle Bug collection). I have coloured the image using ProMarkers and I have used brown Papermania card stock. As I said, this is a very simple card, but I am really pleased with it! :)

This is my second card using this set. This time I used the second main image from the set- the tent and stamped the cloud (which is also included) above the tent. Other than that all the products used are the same as the previous card! :)

Thank you for taking the time to look at my cards! :) x

May Club Stamp from Little Claire...

This lovely stamp set is the May club set from Little Claire Designs, and is available on their wesbite.

I have made this card using Henbury Lane papers by Papermania, layered with Core'dinations cardstock. The sentiment is from craftwork cards, as is the card blank and the buttons are from my stash :)

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog- Anything goes

This card was made using papers from the Citrus stack by DCWV. I have used Core'dinations cardstock, and ribbons from my stack. Card blank from craftwork cards.
