'Things with Wings' over at Sweet Stampin'

We are sponsored by Lili of the Valley as well as our monthly sponsor, Joanna Sheen. So make sure you pop over to the blog to check out the DT creations and join in with our challenge :)

Here is the card I made for this challenge:

I have used the gorgeous 'Pom Pom' from LOTV, coloured with ProMarkers and cut out using Nestabilities. The sentiment is also from LOTV. The papers are by Raspberry Road and I have inked all the edges with Memento ink. I added a wooden butterfly and gems from my stash to finish off :)

Christmas Week at Little Claire's :)

Everyday this week Little Claire's have been releasing their Christmas Designs- and there are some gorgeous designs, believe me! I am behind with my posts to show the cards so I have popped by to show a couple of my cards, and I will do my best to follow this up with more posts over the weekend to catch up with all the releases :)

One of my favourite new stamps is 'Silhouette Manger', which is such a lovely stamp to use (and with no colouring!)

Here is one of the cards I have made with this stamp:

I have stamped the image onto kraft card, along with the sentiment that also comes with the stamp. I have used dark brown cardstock to mount my image and papers. The papers are from Craftwork Cards, pearls from my stash. A very simple card, but I am pleased with the outcome :)

My second card with this stamp is also a simple one:

This time I have stamped the image using brown ink, again onto kraft card. I have also used kraft card to make the card base. I have mounted the image using dark brown and light green card then added a sentiment from LOTV and some pearls from my stash :)

I would like to enter my cards in the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly- Anything Goes (first card)
Craft Your Passion Challenges #122- Anything Goes (second card)

Thanks for stopping by, I will do my best to catch up with the other releases soon. Make sure you keep an eye on Little Claire's Blog for details of their releases and special offers :) x

Ribbons & Bows from Little Claire's :)

I'm a few days late with this post as this gorgeous new set was released on the first of the month! It is the new club stamp from Little Claire's & it is lovely :)

Here is a card I have made with the set:

I have coloured the image with ProMarkers and cut it out using Nestabilities, as well as the scalloped rectangle behind. The sentiment is also from Little Claire's, but this time the 'Sunshine Sentiments' set. I have used just one image out of the 5 included in the set, so there is lots to use! The papers are from Craft Creations and I have inked all the edges with pale lilac ink.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:
Dream Valley Challenge #38- Die Cuts & Punches
I Love ProMarkers #128- Spots & Stripes

Holidays are here!

Well today marks the start of the school holidays for lots of us, which either means more time to craft for those of us who work in schools or less time to craft for those of you with children who are now off for the summer! :)

Our current theme over at Little Claire's is 'Holidays' and here is the card I created for this challenge:

For this card I have used the gorgeous 'Beach Huts' stamp from Little Claire's, coloured with ProMarkers and mounted on dark brown cardstock. The papers are by Echo Park, scallop punch is MS, pearls and gems from my stash :)
