Congrats To You

Hi all :) 

I am back today with another card I have made for Little Claire Designs, this time it's a New Home card...

For this card I used the Up The Garden Path Stamp Set but instead of adding the pat too I just used the house image on it's own. I coloured this up with my copic markers. The papers are a paper pad that I bought from The Range - a bargain at £1! I also added a doily, paper flowers, ribbons, pearls and sentiment.

I will be back soon with more cards :)

Hi all :) 

Sorry I have been missing in action for a little while. I have ha no craft mojo but I think it is slowly coming back so fingers crossed I have it back soon :) Today I am sharing one of my cards I made for Little Claire Designs that was made with one of the new stamp sets...

The stamp set I used is called Hugs and is packed full of fabulous images. I coloured my images with Copics and paper pierced the umbrella. The papers are by Kaisercraft and I added some ribbon, gems and a pearl heart.

I will be back soon :)

Happy Little Piggy

Hello all :) 

Today I am sharing a card I recently made for Little Claire Designs. As you may know, Little Claire have just recently launched their fab products on Hochanda so I have been making a few samples for their shows. The next one is in March..so watch this space for more info. So here is a cute spring card made with some adorable piggy stamps...

I have used a cute stamp from the 'Piggies Stamp Set' which I coloured with my Copics. The papers are a mix from Lawn Fawn and Carta Bella. I also added some ribbons, lace, flowers and some pearls.

I will be back hopefully tomorrow with more creations :)

Huge Hugs

It's the first of the month (cannot believe its August already!) and that can only mean one thing, a new challenge launch over at My Mums Craft Shop. This month our theme is Summer Sun, so we want to see summery images, summer colours, summer colours, scenes..whatever makes you think of summer! I decided to use lots of bright funky colours and here is what i came up with....

This cute stamp is from the Darling Daschunds Set by Little Claire. I have been itching to use this stamp for ages so glad i got it out i think its soo funny! There's just something about sausage dogs...
I teamed it up with my Copics and very bright Here & Now papers by Echo Park. The butterfly is a Cheery Lynn Butterfly and the swirl is by Memory Box.

Make sure you pop over to the MMCS Blog to check out all the fab summery inspiration by the best DT ever - seriously fab work they produce and always!!

Thanks for popping by today :)
