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.

Blissful Rocker Card

This week I had the honour to create the Little Claire blog project. I opted for a rocker card that can be achieved with craft items and tools most crafters will have amongst their stash (even if the dies or punches might be a bit different). And it was an opportunity to work again with one of my all-time favourites, the 'Blissful' stamp by Little Claire.

If you would like to re-create this rocker card or give it your own twist, you can find a product list and step-by-step instructions including photos on the Little Claire blog. I would love to see your rocker card designs. And in case of questions, just give me a shout.

Have fun playing!

Dream a little dream

This is a card I have created recently and do not want to miss to share with you.

I used the 'Dream a little dream' stamp by Little Claire and coloured in the image using ProMarkers. To give the bubbles a bit of sparkle I used a clear Sakura Gelly Roll pen.

The border strip is created using an X-Cut border punch. I wrapped ribbon round the border strip and attached the bow separately. I also threaded seed beads onto two head pins and attached these to the bow with a jump ring.

Additional embellishments are 'photo corners' created with a We R Memory Keepers Shaped Corner Chomper Photo/Angle and card candy.

I hope you like the card.

Little Claire Club Stamp March 2011

At the beginning of March Little Claire have again launched a great stamp set as their monthly club stamp. 'Messing about on the river' contains two adorable images and is therefore great value for money.



You can find the stamp set and more information about the club on the Little Claire website. And should you not have a PayPal account or should you be unable to process card payments via the PayPal site (I know from own experience that cards are blocked after a number of transactions and they ask you then to open a PayPal account), please remember that you can also order over the phone using a debit or credit card.
