Time for a catch up....

Right, it is time for a catch up! I have been really bad recently at keeping my blog updated, and have quite a few cards to show, which should have already been shown! So I am going to start with these two...

This is a simple card made using the 'Elephant in Squares' stamp set from Little Claire Designs.

This is a lovely stamp set to use, with lots of possibilities. More ideas available on the Little Claire website and on the other DT blogs.

I made this card using Dovecraft 'Back to Basics 2' papers and buttons. I have also used Core'dinateions cardstock and a craftwork cards cardblank.

It really was a simple card to make, but I like how it came out in the end :) x

This card made using the 'Hedgehogs in Squares' stamp from Little Claire's. I have used Papermania 'Birdsong' papers, layered with Core'dinations cardstock. The buttons are papermania, gems from my stash.

The photo makes the card look wonky... but is is straight... honestly... :)

Thank you for stopping by to see my cards :) I am going to try my best to post some more this week & catch up with myself :) 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
Kaboodle Doodles- 'B' embellishments (buttons)

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.

The sentiment is included in the stamp set :)

Thank you for taking the time to look at my cards, hope you like them! :) x

Spikey Flowers

Here are pictures of 2 cards I have made using the new 'Spikey Flower' set from Little Claire Designs.

This is a great stamp set for creating 'quick' cards as the image does not need a lot of colouring in! On the first card I have added touches of colour to the stamped image, and on the second one I have used gems to add detail.

The papers I have used are from dovecraft's 'Back to Basics 2 pack'. The panels are cut using nestabilities, and buttons and ribbons from my stash.

Thank you for taking time time to look at my cards- I hope you like them! :) x

The Right Time...

These are the cards I have made using the gorgeous April club set from Little Claire Designs. I just love these cute owls... :)

I have coloured the images using ProMarkers. The papers I have used for the first card are from the 'Sugar & Spice' collection by Dovecraft, mounted on Core'dinations cardstock. I have added embellishments and gems to the patterned paper to add dimension & detail. I have also used glossy accents on the hearts.

This second card is a simple card using Basic Grey papers and Core'dinations cardstock. The panels for the main image are cut using nestabilities.

This is one of the 4 sets Steve will be showing on Create & Craft this Thursday (07/04/11) at 11am :)

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

Blissful...

It is time for another challenge over at Little Claire's blog. The theme for challenge # 3 is 'Pink and Green'.

This is the DT card I have made for this challenge. The card blank and and circles were cut using my cricut machine (Wildcard cartridge). The papers are 'My Mind's Eye', with Core'dinations cardstock.

The Little Claire stamp I have used is 'blissful', which I have coloured using ProMarkers. For the dress I have stamped onto pattern paper, cut it out and layered it onto the stamped image. I have added flowers and sticky pearls to the edge.

I do not normally make pink cards, as I am never happy with the results, but I was pleasantly surprised with this! :)

I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:
A Gem of a Challenge #17 - Anything but square
Stampin' for the Weekend #6- Mother's Day
Digi Doodles Shop's Best #51- Anything goes
