Changing Tree...

Hi there! Hope you have all had a lovely weekend :)

I am popping in tonight to show you a couple more of the cards I have made using the wonderful 'Changing Tree' and 'Bunting' stamp sets which have been released recently by Little Claire's - I love both of these stamp sets :) The changing tree allows you to build your own scene using all the various elements included.

For this first card I used the stamp set to create a wedding tree. The sentiment is from the very useful 'Save the Date' set which allows you to put different numbers within the sentiment stamp. The image is coloured with ProMarkers, cut out and then stuck on the cardbase, which has been inked with blue ink. I then covered the edges of the die cut circle with buttons in various shades of blue. I have added small gems to the tree & sentiment to finish off :)

This time I created a music tree with the stamp set, and used the bunting set  for the sentiment :) I have coloured the image with ProMarkers, and die cut it using Nestabilities. The papers are from First Edition and I have added some Card Candi to finish off :)

I would like to enter this second card into the following challenges:
Passion for ProMarkers #146 - Cut it Out
I love ProMarkers #114 - Floral Image

Bye for now, hope you like the cards :) x

Home again...

Hello there! I am now home from a lovely honeymoon in America and trying to catch up with everything- including my blog :)

While I was in the US I did quite a bit of craft shopping- which has to be done when the stores are so big & the products so much cheaper than over here... plus there always seems to be a sale of some sort... Just a selection of excuses I told my husband as he was being taken to 'yet another' craft shop! Once we were home he felt the need to spread all my purchases out on the kitchen table and take photographic evidence of just how much I had come home with! I thought I would share the photo with you...

Surely that's not too bad?!?! it could have been worse, right?! lol... :)

Now a couple of things to mention before I go and play with my new craft things... While I have been away a new challenge has started on the Little Claire blog.

The theme is 'Wedding/Anniversary', and here is my DT card for the challenge:

I have used a Little Claire Digi stamp called 'Bee Mine Toadstool', which is available here. I have coloured the image using ProMarkers. The papers are Doodlebug, mounted on black cardstock. I have also added ribbon, buttons and gems from my stash. The sentiment is from a Little Claire set (RWAV wedding set).

Thanks for taking the time to look, please pop over to the blog, check out the other DT cards and play along with us.

Another bit of news is that Little Claire have decided to discontinue some of theit stamps, and have put these on sale on their website- there are some great bargains to grab while stocks last so be quick! Check out the sale section here.

Right I am off to make some cards... bye for now :) x
