Why are weekends so short?

What happened to this weekend? It only seems to have started and is already over again. And next weekend promises to be pretty hectic ...

I just cannot wait for my long Christmas break, so that I can properly catch up with everything.

Here is one of the cards I made this weekend.


I used the Little Claire stamp 'Cutie Patooties Boy Catapult' and coloured it in using ProMarkers and Spectrum Noir pens.

For the background and the mat I used Core'dinations cardstock in two warm grey tones plus a piece of patterned Laura Ashley paper. For the decorative corners I used a Marianne Design die. I mounted the boy with the catapult onto the card using my favourite large 3D foam squares by Dovecraft (I would be lost without them). I then finished the card off with Card Candi that I attached with a bit of Pinflair glue gel.

More Cutie Patooties

Here are now a few more cards made with the brilliant new Cutie Patooties stamps by Little Claire. They are just such a good starting point for cards and keep the imagination flowing.

I hope you like the projects I show you today.

Cutie Patooties Splashing Girl

I created this card using Nestabilities label dies, a Woodware sakura flower punch, a Crealies die for the leaves as well as a Marianne Design die. The colouring is done using ProMarkers. The card is completed with Dovecraft adhesive gemstones and a Viva Decor Paper Pen, which I used for the centres of the flowers.

Cutie Patooties Chimney Sweep

Here I used a sheet from an older Dovecraft paper pack, Spectrum Noir pens, Candi chips coloured in with Spectrum Noirs, a Marianne Design corner die and a QuicKutz die for the toolbox.

This stamp is also one half of the November club stamp that has just been launched by Little Claire.

Cutie Patooties Girl

For this card I used Spectrum Noir pens, oval and scalloped oval cutting dies, a Marianne Design border die, thin gingham ribbon and Crealies daisy and leaf dies. The centre of the flower is made with a Viva Decor Paper Pen in 'sand'.

This stamp is also the second part of the Little Claire club stamp for November.


All of these stamps are now available from Little Claire.
