Buttons, buttons

I would like to share with you all card I have made using my Georgina's Buttons & Stitching stamp set that I have designed for Little Claire.

I have used the set to create the background paper and also the frame round the greeting. I love to create my own patterned papers. It means I can use the colours I want and create the exact pattern I want.

To create my paper I started by stamping the button stamp all over a piece of white card using various coloured ink pads.



I stamped the buttons also onto Post-it notes. I cut out the button shape and covered up the stamped image on the white card. I then stamped more buttons onto the white card but over lapping an existing stamped image.



I continued this until I was happy with the pattern I had created.



I attached panels of my patterned paper to a scalloped card blank. I stamped the stitching to create a frame for the greeting on the front of the card. I stamped a button onto pink card. I used my Croc-o-dile to put holes through the button. I threaded pink thread though the holes before adding to the card.

Georgina's Buttons and Stitching stamp set - my own designs!

It is with much excitement I would like to tell you all about a stamp set I have design for Little Claire. It's called Georgina's Buttons & Stitching. There are 10 stamps in the set.



The stitching makes a lovely finishing touch. The buttons can be stamped onto any paper/card etc, and coloured to co-ordinate with any craft project. This is a very versatile stamp set. I hope you think so too. For more details please see the Little Claire website or blog.

This is a card I have made using my stamp set. This is a great way to use up all those strip of paper we all keep 'just in case' we can make use of them.



I covered a square card blank with the strips of patterned paper. I then stamped the stitching along the edges. The buttons were stamped onto kraft card and punched the holes using my Croc-a-dile. I added a layer of Glossy Accents. Once they were dry I attached them to the card. To finish the card I added a tag stamped using Little Beauties - Tags Stamps also by Little Claire.

At Home

This is my second card using Little Claire January Stamp Club set, 'At Home'.

I begun by stamping the image with a black Memento ink pad onto smooth white card. I coloured in the image with ProMarkers. I added Glossy Accents to the hearts. I cut around the top edge of the image.



I cut a panel of dark blue card. Into this I cut a rectangle frame for the stamped image to sit. I attached the image behind the frame but I move the edge of the tree in front of the frame.

I stamped the greeting from the 'At Home' set in blue ink onto white card. I punched out the greeting using Stampin' Up Label punch. I attached a strip of blue ribbon across the blue panel before adding the greeting.



On a scalloped card blank I attached a panel of light blue card. Onto this I added the dark blue frame with foam pads. Around the edges I added white faux stitching with a gel pen and blue stitching around the edge. To finish I added a bow and buttons.

Happy New Year to you all! I have had a week off from blogging but I have still be working on card samples and other craft projects. I thought it was about time I got back to my blog and sharing some cards with you.

Happy Christmas

This is my card for the Passion for ProMarkers - Mega Christmas challenge. The theme of the challenge is 'Celebrations'.

I begun by stamping the Humphreys Corner image with a black Memento ink pad. I coloured in the cute image with ProMarkers. I cut around the edge of the image. I covered a square card blank with dark blue card. Onto this I added torn strips of white paper to form snowdrifts. I attached the image onto the snow. I added PolarWhite FlowerSoft to the fur edge on the hats.



I scored a line 2cm from the fold on the back of the card I attached double sided tape to the 2cm panel. I attached the front to the double sided tape. I cut a square of white acetate for the overlay. Onto this I stamped the snowflake design with a white Staz-On ink pad. I added this to the card with red tape.



Using my Croc-o-dile I added two holes on the 2cm section. Through the hole I added red ribbon which I tied into a bow. To finish I added the greeting letters which were cut with my Cricut.

Christmas George

This is my card for the Divas by Design blog challenge. The theme is 'Merry Christmas'.

The stamp I used for the card is Little George by Little Claire. I begun by stamping the image with a black Memento ink pad onto smooth white card. I coloured him in with ProMarkers. I punch the edge of the coloured panel and a panel of green card with my Stampin' Up Eyelet punch.



I covered a square card with gold card and holly patterned paper. I punch the edge of the holly paper. I attached a strip of red ribbon across the coloured panel before adding it to the card blank.



For the sentiment I used Red Gingham - Christmas Text stamps available from Little Claire. I cut this and the background circle out with Nestabilities Lacey Circles. To finish I added snowflakes which I cut with my Cricut and gems.

Glitter baubles

This is my card for this week's Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge Week 86. The theme is Make a Christmas Card.

I begun by stamping the baubles. The stamp I used was from Stampin' Up 'Contempo Christmas' stamp set. I stamped the baubles with clear VersaMark ink pad. I then heat embossed them using various colours of WOW embossing powder. I punched out the shapes with my Stampin' Up Baubles punch.



On a square of white card I stamped the green swirls with a Pear Pizzazz green ink pad. I used a stamp from Stampin' Up 'Season of Joy' stamp set. I attached the punched baubles onto the white square. I cut a slit above each bauble and on the swirl. I threaded ribbon through the slits and attached behind the square. On a square card blank I added square of red and gold card as well as the bauble square.



I stamped the greeting and punched out the shape with a Decorative Labels Stamoin' Up punch. I added this to the card with foam pads. I stamped small red flowers using a stamp from the 'Season of Joy' set. I added these to the card and added gold Dimension Pearls to the centre. To finish I added ribbon bows and faux stitching.
