Blog Project over at Little Claire's :)

On Friday it was my turn to share a project over on Little Claire's Blog. I chose to make some little Christmas Tags using Christmas Sentiments and Christmas Changing Tree Embellishments.

As well the stamp sets I have used a tag die, Nestabilities Lacey Circles, Kraft cardstock, gems and ribbon I have coloured the cute little stamps using ProMarkers & arranged them around the Christmas sentiments to fill the spaces. These little 'embellishments' are designed to hand on the 'Changing Tree' by Little Claire's but I thought it would be fun to use them by themselves :)

New Challenge at Sweet Stampin'- 'White on White'

Today we have a new challenge for you over at Sweet Stampin'. This week our theme is 'White on White', something which I have never attempted before :)

We are lucky enough to have 2 weekly sponsors this week- Letraset & our DT member Natali at Iva Nova Chest. We also have our monthly sponsor Joanna Sheen, so there are lots of chances to win! :)

Here is my card for the challenge: 

For my card I have used a gorgeous 'Mini Masterpiece' from LOTV, as well as their new Christmas sentiment tags. The card base is cut using a large Go Kreate die & the image is cut out using a smaller one of the same shape. I have used a couple of different embossing folders (one a cuttlebug one, one a freebie from a mag), a Whimsy Corner die cut & a Memory Box 'Corner Bow' die cut to decorate my card. Pearls & ribbon from my stash.  

I am quite pleased with the result considering I wasn't really looking forward to the whole 'White on White' theme! Don't forget to pop over to Sweet Stampin' to check out the DT cards and join us in this week's challenge :) x

The Magic of Christmas!

Hello! Can you believe it is September already?! Today Little Claire's release their new monthly club stamp, and this month they have a lovely Christmas set for you called 'The Magic of Christmas' :)

The set includes 3 images and 4 sentiments and really can be used it lots of different ways!

For this card I have used the Sleigh stamp and coloured it with ProMarkers. I have them cut out the image using 'Classic Circle' Nestabilities and mounted it on lilac cardstock cut with 'Scalloped Circle' Nestabilities. Both of the sentiments I have used come with the set. The circular one is mounted on card cut using 'Lacey Circles' Nestabilities. The other sentiment is cut using an Xcut die. The papers are  from Wild Rose Studio, pearls and ribbon from my stash :)

Christmas Changing Tree...

Hello there! I hope you are having a lovely weekend! :)

Today I am continuing with my catch up of new Christmas designs from Little Claire's :) They have designed some lovely little stamps to go with their gorgeous 'Changing Tree' stamp. You can buy this as a complete set with the tree or just the embellishments if you already own the Changing Tree stamp.

For this card I have coloured the image using ProMarkers and cut it out using Nestabilities. The scalloped circle is cut using Nestabilities out of Kraft card and is all lightly inked with light brown Memento ink. The papers are Craft Creations, flowers, gems, button and Candi from my stash.

For this card I have again coloured the image using ProMarkers and then mounted it on red & black cardstock. This is a very simple card using papers by Echo Park, a sentiment from LOTV & some card Candi to finish off.
