July Club Stamp from Little Claire's- Bright Blue Skies :)

Here are the cards I have made using this set:

For this card I have used one of the main images from the set mounted on dark brown cardstock, The papers are from My Mind's Eye 'On the Sunny Side'. The circular sentiment is from the 'Dictionary Definitions' set from Little Claire's, and the tag sentiments are from LOTV. Pearls and Candi from my stash.

This is the second card I made with the set:

This time I have used the other main image in the set, again coloured with ProMarkers and mounted on dark brown card stock. The papers are from My Mind's Eye 'Fine and Dandy' and the sentiments are the lovely little LOTV tags again. Pearls and Candi from my stash.

This is such a lovely set which also has a butterfly set and sentiments included so please pop over to Little Claire's website to check it out and see the other DT examples :) x

Christmas in June.... :)

Well today sees the launch of the first of Little Claire's new Christmas Designs! Yes, that's right! The DT have been busy creating Christmas samples, which has felt strange with it being June, but it has suited this mixed, rainy weather!

So today we are showing you designs using 'Christmas Owls'. and here is one of the cards I have made using this stamp:

I have coloured the stamp using ProMarkers and mounted it on dark brown cardstock. The papers are from Craftwork cards. Little buttons from my stash. A simple card really, but as the image is so detailed I wanted to make that the main focus :)


Make sure you pop over to Little Claire's Blog & wesbite to see what the other DT members have created! We will be back later in the week to show you another Christmas design...


I would like to enter my cards in the following challenges:

Quick Cards Magazine...

I was lucky enough to design a card which is in this months Quick Cards Magazine (Issue 102) on the back page as part of Little Claire's monthly column :)

Here is the card I made for the magazine, using the gorgeous 'Footballing Hedgehog' stamp from Little Claire Designs:

I have stamped the main image twice and the football separately. I then masked off the smaller hedgehog. All the images were coloured with ProMarkers and cut with Classic Squares Nestabilities. I have also used the 'Bunting' set, also from Little Claire's to create the 'Happy Days' sentiment. The papers are from Craft Creations, cardstock, ribbon and Candi from my stash.

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

Well today it is lovely and sunny here, although it may not last long! Today I am sharing my card for the new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' which started at the weekend.

The image is from the gorgeous 'Beach Huts' set over at Little Claire Designs, coloured with ProMarkers and mounted on black cardstock. The bunting stamp is also from Little Claire's, and the sentiment is from LOTV. The papers are Echo Park 'Paradise Beach', perfect for summer makes!

New Challenge at 'Sweet Stampin' - 'Use your favourite stamp' :)

Well today is a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' and this week we would like you to use your favourite stamp!

Well lots of us found it very difficult to decide which stamp to use, and in the end I chose a 'new' favourite stamp, one that I have only just started to use and love to colour :)

Here is my card:

I have used the gorgeous 'Pom Pom' stamp from LOTV, coloured with ProMarkers, as well as their new 'Setiment Tags' sentiments. The papers are Papermania 'Sunshine' Capsule Collection, mounted on craft cardstock. Ribbon & card candi from my stash. 

I have based my card on the current sketch (#88) over at 'Sketch & Stash', so would like to enter my card there (I hope I have followed it closely enough. The sentiment tags are new and I have had the papers for ages)

I am also entering my card in the following challenges:
