Christmas Tags

 
Today Little Claire are launching a new set of Christmas Tag stamps. The stamp set contains 12 different tag greeting. The photo above shows six of the designs and ideas how they can be stamped onto patterned paper, coloured card or in coloured ink. A wide variety of patterend papers are available on Little Claire's website.

 
I used the Christmas Wishes tag from the new set for this card. The main image is Room With A View - Nativity stamp also by Little Claire. I stamped and coloured the inside view. I used ProMarkers to colour the image. I stamped the outside onto kraft card. I cut the doors open and attached the inside view behind.
 
For the sky background I used Blue Texture with Stars paper and for the sand Kraft paper both available from Little Claire.

 
For more details about the stamps and your chance to win a set please see Little Claire's blog.

Daisy Bunting

 
I made this card using a selection of stamps from Little Claire. The main cute little girl image is Loverly Jubblies - Daisy Bunting. The circle sentiment is created using Daisy Dot Alphabet & Numbers Stamp Set and Save the Date!
 
The Loverly Jubblies - Daisy Bunting image was stamped with a Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad. I coloured in the image with ProMarkers. I stamped the balloon again and added it to the main image with foam pads. The number 5 stamp I used is part of the Save the Date! stamp set.

 
The circle sentiment was created using two stamp sets. The Happy Birthday outside circle is the Save the Date! stamp set and the letter d is a stamp from Daisy Dot Alphabet & Numbers Stamp Set. They fit perfectly together so you can make a personalised circle sentiment for any initial!


The patterned papers I used on the card are Garden Party 12 x 12 Paper Pad, the ribbon is Garden Party Ribbon Pack also Garden Party, Paper Blossoms and Garden Party 3D Adhesive Stickers, Butterflies. All available from Little Claire.

This card was also featured on Little Claire's blog last week.

Santa's Reindeer


I made this card using Hobby Art's Santa's Reindeer stamp set.  The set contains 16 individual stamps so it great to create your own festive image.

I started by stamping the main image onto smooth white card with a black Memento ink pad. I also stamped the reindeer's head onto a post-it note and cut it out to create a mask. I put the mask onto the reindeer image so I could then stamp the tress and they wouldn't stamp over the reindeer image. I stamped the snowflakes with a Sky Blue Brilliance ink pad.


I stamped the reindeer four more time. I coloured the stamped image with ProMarkers. I then cut out section and layered them onto the original image with foam pads. I used red felt for his nose.

I layered the coloured image onto panels of silver and green card. I stamped the greeting using a stamp from Hobby Art's Christmas Sentiments stamp set onto a white card tag. I attached this to the image panel with green ribbon. To finish I added diamond Stickles and a green bow.

A Winter scene


To celebrate joining the Hobby Art Design Team I have made this Christmas card using the lovely Winter Scene-its stamp set from Hobby Art.

The set contains 13 individual stamps which allows you to create your own wintry scene.

I stamped my scene using a Tuxedo Black ink pad onto smooth white card. I coloured the image with ProMarkers. I added Diamond Stickles for some added sparkle.


I punched the bottom edge of the stamped image and a strip of red card with Stampin' Up Eyelet punch. These were attached to a panel of dark red and another square of red card. Before add to a square card blank I added a strip of red gingham ribbon and a bow. I added snowflakes which I cut using a punch and also my Cricut. To finish I added gems and faux stitching.
