Little Claire Monthly Stamp Set

Time for another Little Claire monthly stamp club and this time it has a Christmas theme.

It's called Christmas Scotties and can be found here on the website.

I have made a few samples to show off the stamps

Here I have embossed the background to look like snow and I've used the new Little Claire paper pack called "Puppy Christmas"

Again i've used Little Claire papers and this one is from the "Falling Snow" set.

This one has the "Pastel Tartan" papers.

And here is one of the papers again from the Falling Snow set.

And finally just a little tag using kraft card and white embossing powder.

Quirky Quilts New Home Card

It's my turn on the Little Claire blog to make a Friday project.
I have made a lovely new home card using the new Quirky Quilts papers and an old favourite of mine the "At Home" stamp set.

This one can be a bit fiddly with paper piecing the image but you could colour it instead.

I have used:

Little Claire "At Home" stamp set.

Little Claire Paper Pack - Quirky Quilts

Blank white card

Memento black ink

Clear embossing powder

1. First off I used the purple sheet of Quirky Quilts papers to cover the blank card but I did add a little grey distress ink around the edges.

2. I then stamped the image onto a piece of white card using the memento black ink and then I clear embossed it. 

3. I paper pieced the image using the green and pink piece of Quirky Quilts papers. I again inked the edges and matted it onto a piece of pale blue card. Then the card was inked. I adhered the image to the card using 3D pads.

4. I then cut out some of the hexagons from the purple sheet of Quirky Quilts paper and edged them with the distress ink.

5. Next I  embossed them a little to give them some shape.

I then randomly adhered them over the flat hexagons using 3D pads to give them a raised look.

I think this gives the card a lovely quilted look and it's a great idea for a new home card.

Little Claire Challenge

Time for another Little Claire Challenge and this month's theme is Kraft card.

I've made a little tag using Kraft card.

I've used the gorgeous dinky stamp "Spikey Flowers". I stamped the base using walnut distress ink then clear embossed it. I then heated up some white frantage over the tag. Next I cut a square of Kraft and stamped the Spikey flowers onto using versamark and then white embossing powder. I did the same with the sentiment. I adhered them with 3D pads.

One lucky winner will win a £20 website voucher!! Well worth entering for. The challenge will close on 15th May.

All details are on the Little Claire blog here.
