Merry Kissmas!

Good morning, thank Crunchy it's Friday! It's been a very long week for me, I have been very busy rushing around so today, I am having a ME day.  No girlies, they have gone out shopping together, the husband is at work, even the cats have gone upstairs lol!

Anyway, before I start getting organised and sorting my bag for Stevenage, where I will be demoing, cannot wait :) I wanted to share the last of the new stamps launched this week over at Little Claire's .  This little image is called 'Merry Kissmas', isn't it cute? It is available from today over on the website.

The papers I have used are from Craft Creations and the Snowflake is a 'Cherry Lynn' one called 'Lace Pine' and both the papers and the die are also available from Little Claire's extensive shop. I have added some red/white bakers twine and some white pearls to finish off.  A very  quick and easy card, just right when you have over a hundred cards to finish before December.

Right off to enjoy the P & Q, have a lovely day.

Away in a Manager

Good afternoon, here is another card using the newly launched 'Away in a Manager' stamp from Little Claire's . 

I have gone a bit blue for this card.  The papers are from a great stack called 'Christmas Joy'.  I have coloured in image with Promarkers, added some foilage, large punched star, a Die-namics button and some linen thread.  The stones are champagne coloured, just lovely!

I have had a lovely morning teaching Promarker techniques and am now shattered. Am off to watch some more olympics and get some cardmaking done.  I will be demoing at Stevenage this weekend, so lots of samples to be made.

Thanks for stopping by here and your lovely comments, they really mean alot.

Sleeptight!

Afternoon, hope you are having a lovely day? Have been up since dawn, well ok 7am. Had to take Georgia to her early physio appointment. Am glad to say she has now been discharged, which is such great news. Hydropherepy really helped her knees.

Right, to my little card.  Day three of the Christmas launch from Little Claire's.  Today is 'Sleeptight', just the cutest little owl image. You can win this little stamp, pop on over via HERE  for a chance to win.

 I have made a tunnel card and have covered with pine needles and wooden leaves.  The pine and bauble dies are available from the website.  The little owl charm is one from stash along with my every faithful linen thread.

Christmas Joy & Silhouette Manger

Good afternoon, day two of the new Christmas stamp launch over at Little Claire's.

Today is the turn of 'Christmas Joy' and 'Silhouette Manger' stamps.  I really love how different these new stamps are, there is something for everyone in this collection.

Firstly, I have coloured in 'Christmas Joy' with my Promarkers.  Added some My Mind's reversal paper, some stamped hearts, linen thread, gorgeous wooden snowflakes and some white pearls. The little sentiment is from Craftwork Cards. I really love this little image, it is quite Scandanavian in style.

My second card is using 'Silhouette Manger'.  I have stamped in blue ink and have used the snowflake a mask on the card base.  The snowflake is a 'Cherry Lynn' one available on the Little Claire web-site, I have added some card candy and some stickles on the snowflake.

These stamps are available to purchase today on the website along with other brand new designs. 

I will be back tommorrow with another couple of cards showcasing some more stamps.

Thanks for stopping by,

Polar Hugs & Letter's Snow

Good afternoon, here are a couple of Design Team cards I made recently showcasing the brand new Christmas stamps from Little Claire, which have been launched today.

The first card is using 'Polar Hugs', two cute little polar bears and lots of swirls, it's so gorgeous!  I have used lots of ribbon, lace and mono dots.  Have added just a hint of colour and little cream pearls.

The second card has been made using some lovely Spellbinder's 'Holiday Tag's' dies also available on the Little Claire website and I have teamed up with the gorgeous new Christmas 'Letter's Snow' letters available at the special launch price of £10.00 (rrp £12.99).  This special price is only until Wednesday 8th August, so hurry up and grab yours.

Along with the dies, I have used some Fantastic 'Teal' check ribbon, blue pearls and have stamped some stitching around the card using the 'Stitching & Buttons' stamp set.  Please excuse the little bows, they seem to have a mind of their own and are a bit squiffy lol!

Have had a wonderful day out at a friend's today, my eye is much better so had better get on with some cards this evening. I will be back with another launch tommorrow and don't forget to pop on over to see the other DT cards.

Thanks for stopping by and to my new followers, thanks for joining my blog.

'Spikey Flowers' Blog Project

 Hi there, hoping you are enjoying all of the wonderful sport the Olympics is bringing to us.  The girls and I have been hooked with the swimming, rowing and the cycling, lets hope we get lots more gold! 

I am taking it slightly easy today, well going slower with the cardmaking anyway lol. I have a burst blood vessel in my eye which is quite painful.  I have some eyedrops which hopefully will start working today.

Anyway, it's Friday again and that means another blog project over at Little Claire's .  I have made the project this week and it is a very quick distressed look card using 'Spikey Flower's'.  If you want to see how I put the card together or to purchase the stamp I have used, pop on over via the link above.

Right back to my craft room, have a fabby day!
