New Stamps from Little Claire's :) x

This week Little Claire have been showcasing some new stamps featuring 'Flossie' and here are my cards I have made using 'Flossie and Butterflies':

For this card I have mounted the image, which has been coloured with ProMarkers, onto pale blue cardstock. I have also used blue gingham paper, yellow polka dot ribbon and buttons from my stash. The tag sentiment is from a set called 'Little Beauties', also from Little Claires.

For this second card the image is again, coloured with ProMarkers, then mounted on pink and brown cardstock. The papers are from Dovecraft's 'Back to Basics III'. I have also used an EK Success Edger Punch and some pale pink polka dot ribbon :)

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

Crafty Catz #121- something beginning with 'B' (First card- butterflies, buttons, blue)

Allsorts Challenge #143- Anything Goes (Second card)

Thanks for stopping by! :) x

Papercraft Essentials Magazine...

Hi! I thought I would just pop by to show you a card I made which is featured in the current issue of Papercraft Essentials (issue 78):

My card is in the 'pull out & keep' section of the magazine using the lovely 'Splishing & Splashing' stamp by Little Claire Designs. There are also other cards using various Hedgehog designs by other members of the DT.

Here is the card & there are instructions on how to make it in the magazine too!

Thanks for taking a look... I will be back tomorrow with some new cards with Little Claire images :) x

Hello Friend...

Here is a little card I made today using a Lili of the Valley die cut image- one of my recent purchases- perfect as I wasn't really in the colouring mood!

I have also used Dovecraft 'Back to Basics' papers mounted on dark brown cardstock, some flower ribbon, Martha Stewart butterfly punch and an EK Success edger punch. Pearls and buttons from my stash. The sentiment is from Little Claire's, coloured with ProMarkers and edged with purple ink. I have also added a little glitter glue to the image...

I have followed the current sketch (challenge #81) at Sketch n Stash so I am entering my card there. I have also followed the recipe for challenge #97 at Craft your Passion.

Anyways, that's all for now... hope you like the card :) x

My First Gorjuss Girl Card...

Hi, I am stopping by to show you a card that I have made using a stamp I have had for ages and never used... I have been inspired by the lovely Lisa, who has challenged herself to ink up unused stamps this year.

So here is my card:

I have coloured the image using ProMarkers. I didn't intend to cut out the image as I have, but I bit of a trimming accident, and messed up the edges so it became necessary! Having said that, I am quite pleased with how it has turned out in the end. The papers are a mixture of Echo Park and Craft Creations, mounted on dark brown cardstock. Sentiment from Craftwork Cards and pearls from my stash. The brown card panel behind the main image is cut using nestabilities.

I have used the following sketch from Sketch n Stash, so I am entering my card in their free choice challenge:

Thanks for taking a look at my card, I am going to try to join in more with Lisa's challenge and use up some of the unused images I have mounting up! :) x

'Birdtable' from Little Claire...

Hi, I thought I would just pop in and show you a card I have made with the final stamp to be released from the new Garden Collection by Little Claire's...

The image is coloured with ProMarkers and mounted on black cardstock. The papers are from Papermania's capsule collection. I have added wooden flowers, coloured with ProMarkers. Pearls and gems from my stash. Sentiment by Craftwork Cards.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look at my card. Hope you are all having a lovely weekend :) xxx
