Sweet Stampin' Challenge - Dies and Doodles :)

Hi there :)

Earlier this week I was lucky enough to be asked to join the Sweet Stampin' Design team! I was thrilled with the news and obviously said yes! So here I am with my first DT card for Sweet Stampin' :)

The theme for this challenge is 'Dies and Doodles' - at first I was a little worried about the 'doodle' part- but I once I got started I really enjoyed it and found I became a bit 'doodle happy!'

Here is my card:
I have used a gorgeous image from Lili of the Valley, coloured with ProMarkers. The papers are from Echo Park (Springtime) and Craft Creations, mounted on dark brown cardstock. The main image and mount are cut using Nestabilities. The sentiment and Card Candi are from Craftwork cards. 'Dream' sticker and gem from my stash.

This challenge is sponsored by our monthly sponsor Joanna Sheen- one lucky winner will win a £10 gift voucher to spend in the online store :)

We also have another sponsor for this weeks challenge:

Prize: £10 gift voucher

April Club Stamp from Little Claire's :) x

Well it is already the first of April! Can you believe it?! Well as always, the first of the month means a new club stamp at Little Claire's :)

This month the stamp is called 'Oodles of Joie de Vivre' and features a gorgeous image and 2 sentiments.

Here is a card I have made using this stamp:

I have coloured the main image using ProMarkers then mounted it on yellow and brown cardstock. I have used the circular sentiment from the set, again coloured with ProMarkers and inked with yellow ink. The papers are Craft Creations and I have added some Card Candi for embellishments :)

Thanks for taking time to look at my card. Please remember to pop over to the Little Claire website to check out the other DT creations :) x

New Challenge at Little Claire's... Spring :) x

Hi! Today a new challenge has started over on Little Claire's Blog and the theme this month is 'Spring'.

Here is the card I have made for the challenge:

I have used the 'Walk in the Park' stamp from Little Claire's, coloured with ProMarkers and mounted on dark brown cardstock. I have also used 'Georgina's Buttons and Stitching' stamp to add detail to the backing papers. The yellow paper is part of a Forever Friends pack, but I am not sure where the spring paper is from though! The blue buttons are papermania and the sentiment is from Craftwork Cards :)

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
