Little Claire Likes .... 'Swirly Whirly' - 'Cats'

 

Good afternoon, here is a card I have made using the gorgeous 'Swirly Whirly' - 'Cat's which is being showcased today over at Little Claire's .  You can colour in this great little image or just leave it in mono tones, it looks great either way!

All products and card instructions are listed on the blog, which you can whizz over to via HERE .

I have teamed it up with some gorgeous papers from First Edition 'J'Adore' paper pack, some twine and a couple heart punches.  I have coloured in lightly with a 'Satin' Promarker and edged with 'Pastel Beige'.  The sentiment is from the 'Dictonary Definition's' set.

Off out to 'Make It' tommorrow with my crafty buddy and then working there on Saturday, hope to catch up with you there if your going along.

Tulip Cat

 

Good morning, just a quick post from me this morning. It's Day # 3 of Little Claire's new stamp launch and today is the turn of 'Tulip Cat', isn't it just gorgeous??

 

You can purchase it HERE along with all of the other newly launched stamps.  I have another card to share with you later, the little sentiment used on my card above, is part of the set of the second stamp set.

 

I am off out shopping today, Georgia turns 13 this weekend.  Have no idea what to buy her, as she seems to have everything, thinking it may take me a while lol.

 

Have a great day, back to share my 'Horsey' card later.

Butterfly Blossom

Good morning, it's dark, dreary and cold here today.  I have lots of errands to run and I really don't want to leave my lovely warm house.  Think I may just have to stay in and craft, wow that was an easy decision lol!

 

It is Day # 2 of Little Claire's stamp launch.  Today is the turn of the gloriously beautiful 'Butterfly Blossoms, I absolutely love it! Just great for any type of card or project.

 

You can purchase it HERE for the super-duper price of £4.50.  Please do pop on over to the BLOG where my treamies have made some gorgeous creations.

 

 

I recently made one of these little lanterns for my monthly ladies who come and craft. I was really pleased with it so have made another one using our new image. I thought it looks quite oriental, so the two go perfectly together.

 

 Here is my second card for today using the new stamp once again.  I have decopaged some of the flowers and the butterflies and have used a new sentiment which will be shown tommorrow from another stamp set.

 

Back tommorrow with some more gorgeous new stamps.  If you would like to see the launch so far, pop on over via the link HERE .

 

Have a lovely day, keep warm and dry!

Stevenage Card & Competition

Good afternoon, I wanted to share a card that I made for the Stevenage show yesterday.  It's a pop-up card using the gorgeous little stamp set 'Cherish, Hugs & Dream's'.  The little sentiments that come with the set are just fabby, I have used a larger sentiment, 'Green grass' etc... from another set called 'Bright Blue Skies'

 

and inside where I have made a pop-up.  I have stamped the larger image four times around the square.

 

The papers used are from a 'First Edition' paper pad called 'Blank Canvas'. I have coloured in all of the images with Promarkers - Oatmeal, Honeycomb and Khaki.

 

Little Claire are showcasing loads of lushious new stamps this week, starting today with 'Little Doggies' and 'Girl Cat'

 

Over on the blog, they have two sets of these two stamps to giveaway (two winners will each receive a 'girl cat' & 'little doggies' stamp) For your chance to win, simply comment on today's new stamps - simple!

Tea for Two!



 

 Good morning, yeah it's Friday again! As I am typing this, the snow is falling outside, not a lot thank goodness, just a scattering.  Am hoping it's not going to settle as I am off to Stamparama - Stevenage on Sunday.  Steve and I will be manning the Little Claire stand, so if your going to the show, pop on by and say Hi!

 

The card above is one of our class makes from last night.  My ladies made this using a gorgeous little set from Stamping Up called 'Tea Shoppe'.  The card is 'Wisteria Wonder', one of my favs from last year.  We did lots of stamping and cut the teacup on the fold and added a little sentiment inside.  I saw this on Michelle Last's wonderful blog, so thank you Michelle.

 

Ok, have more samples to get finished and then spend some time with my girls.

 

Keep warm, have a great weekend!

Good morning, its bright and sunny here today, just wish it was a bit warmer though!

 

Anyway, I am sharing another card I have made for the 'Little Claire Likes ....'

Final Class Make - A Chinese Lantern

 

 

Good afternoon, here as promised, is my little chinest lantern that we made in my last class, along with the Aeroplane and Chinest Girl cards.

 

It is very easy to make, two large circles, stamp up images, colour and ribble.  Three small pieces of black cardstock and a little pearl to finish.

 

Here is a photo of the back, have left it quite plain except for a gorgeous little chinese lantern.

 

The little images are from LOTV which I recently won from the lovely Fleur along with a huge amount of goodies which I must admit, don't want to use as they are too lovely lol!

 

I had a lovely morning shopping with the girls today, Georgia picked up her new glasses and she looks fabby in them.  Have been busy doing my DT work today, have managed to get lots done and am now waiting for the chicken to roast in the oven.

 

Lots on the box to watch this evening, then Monday again tommorrow.  Wow the weekends do fly!

 

hugs

Another Class Make - Chinese Card

Good afternoon, are you avoiding the rugby like myself today? I think that everyone I know is watching it, not my thing to be honest, I would rather watch the telly turned off but thats my personal choice.  I used to love sport at school and was pretty good at it, I even ran for my county at cross country and came in fifth, but growing up with three sporty brothers, it ran its course quickly.

 

Anyway, here is a card that we made at my class in January.  I won lots of gorgeous candy from the lovely Fleur and absolutely love all of it - thanks again Fleur it has certainly gone to a loving home lol.

 

 

We made this card using the gorgeous little 'Cho with Parasol' image and the clear set of stamps for the scroll, sentiment etc.  I treated myself over Christmas to this lovely lantern die, which goes really well.  The leaves and flowers are from SU and the paper is from Craft Creations.  We coloured in with Promarkers and edged with a distressed inkpad.

 

I have another make to share tommorrow from my class, which I will upload tommorrow.

 

Have some DT work to get done, so had better put some good music on and get on with it.

 

Have a great weekend and thanks for your lovely comments,

 

Heidi
