Little Claire blog project

This is my Christmas tag card which is the Little Claire blog project for this week. I have used the lovely The Robin and the Ivy stamp.

For set-by-step instructions on how to make this card please see Little Claire blog.

Christmas Beach Huts

These are two cards made the lovely new Christmas Beach Huts stamp launched today by Little Claire.

Both stamped images have been coloured in with ProMarkers. I have kept to a traditional colour scheme of red, white and green for both cards.

For my first card I have kept the colouring to a minimum.  The Merry Christmas background is stamped onto the card blank with red ink. I added ribbon and a bow to finish. I thought this made it look like a wrapped present.

For my second card I added more colour to the stamped image. I also added an embossed snowflake panel to the card.  The circle sentiment is also by Little Claire. To finish I added a gem and glittered snowflakes.

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

Christmas Owl Tree

These are two cards made with the new Christmas Owl Tree stamp launched this week by Little Claire.  I have used ProMarkers to colour the stamped images. I also cut around the tree as the swirl  design made an interesting shape when cut out.

But this stamp isn't just for Christmas as it makes a lovely image for any time of the year for those tricky male cards. And a great background stamp too!

Teacups

This is my card for this week's Passion for ProMarkers blog challenge. The theme is 'glitter and pastels'. I have use a pastel colour scheme for my card and I added glitter to the cupcakes.

I begun by stamping the main image. The stamp set I used was Papermania's Lucy Cromwell - Teacups. I coloured the stamped image with ProMarkers.

I punched the bottom of the coloured image panel with my Martha Stewart Flower edge punch. Before adding this to the dark pink background I added a strip of ribbon. I also added a charm and ribbon bow onto the strip of ribbon. To finish I added faux stitching and gems.

Boofle birthday

This is a birthday card I made for a little boy who's name begins with a K!

I used the Boofle Patchwork Backgrounds stamp set to stamp with patchwork background and the Boofle For You stamp for the cute Boofle. I used the same techniques to create the Boofle as I did for a baby card I made. This can be seen on a previous blog post. The lettering was all cut using my Circut. To keep with the patchwork effect I added faux stitching around the K with a white gel pen.

Father's Day

This is a Father's Day card I made using the cute Forever Friends Good Life Collection.

I started by creating the main decoupage image. I used foam pads to attached the layers together.  I mounted this onto panels of light an dark blue card. I added silver mini brands to the corners.The gingham paper I used was also from the Good Life Collection. I added denim ribbon and a bow to the panels before adding them to a square card blank.

Little Claire blog challenge 22 - DT card

This is my DT card for the new Little Claire's blog challenge that started this week. The theme of the new challenge is 'Jubliee'.

The stamp I used for the card is Loverly Jubblies - Robert & Daisy Umbrella by Little Claire. I stamped the image with a black Memento ink pad. I coloured the image with ProMarkers. For the background I cut a panel of dark blue card, onto this I added panels of red and white card which I punched with a scalloped edge punch. Before adding to the card blank I attached strips of ribbon. To finish I added bows and gems.
