This week Little Claire's are releasing gorgeous new stamps everyday! One of the new stamps to be released today is the gorgeous 'Yes Miss' and here is one of the cards I made with this stamp:

This stamp is coloured with ProMarkers and mounted on dark brown cardstock. The papers are from Papermania's capsule collection, inked with pale blue ink. The sentiment tag is from the 'Little Beauties' set, also from Little Claire's. The banner die is by Memory Box and corner die is a Wimsey Die. Pearls and ribbon from my stash :) 

Here is a second card using this stamp: 

Again, the stamp is coloured with ProMarkers and mounted on dark brown cardstock. The yellow paper is Craft Creations, green from my stash (can't remember where it's from!) Again I have used a tag sentiment from the 'Little Beauties' set. I have also used some ribbon, Card Candi & my favourite Memory Box die :)

Christmas is Nearly Here! :)

Hi there, hope you have all had a lovely weekend, no doubt sorting all those last minute bits for Christmas :) I think i'm just about sorted, so time to relax! :)

I'm here to show you some more Christmas creations that I should have already blogged but haven't!

Firstly, this card:

A very simple card but something a bit different for me! I have made this card using 'Christmas Tags' from Little Claire's, stamped onto papers from Craft Creations and inked with pale blue ink. I have used twine, ribbon, lace and pearls from my stash to complete the card. I have stamped snowflakes in pale brown ink onto the Kraft card blank, although they don't show up in the photo!

For this card I have used the Christmas Tags, along with the cute 'Penguin Stuart', both from Little Claire's. I have coloured the image with ProMarkers and cut it out with Nestabilities. Again the papers are from Craft Creations and the edges are inked with pale blue ink. Pearls from my stash :)
