Night Owls
Tonight I had a wee play with the new night owls stamp from Little Claire. I coloured in the stamped images with ProMarkers and combined them then with one of my favourite cutting dies, the little owl die from Little Claire.
For the card below I also used textured card in various colours, smooth white card for the stamped panel, dark blue pearlescent card, oval and scalloped oval cutting dies, brown ribbon, dark blue card candy, 3D foam and Pinflair glue. I created the dots with a Quickie Glue Pen and black glitter.

Christmas Hedgehogs
Today I enjoyed a bit of quality crafting time.
I want to share one of the cards for which I used the Little Claire stamp' Happy Christmas from the Gang!' with you. I used textured white and light blue cardstock, small pieces of red, blue and silver mirri card and plain blue card that I enhanced with silver Spray & Sparkle from Crafter's Companion. The image is stamped onto glass smooth white card from Southfield and then coloured in with ProMarkers.
For the snow I used Distress Stickles in clear rock candy, which gives it a bit of an icy finish. All the die-cut shapes are made using QuicKutz 2" x 2" and cookie cutter nesting dies. The embossing is done with a snowflake embossing folder from QuicKutz. The 7mm organza ribbon is from Woodware.

Little Claire Club Stamp for September
Little Claire have brought out a fabulous stamp set as their club stamp for September. The individual stamps open up so many opportunities for different styles of cards that I will use it a lot for Christmas cards this year. And the penguin is just so cute that I cannot resist that individual stamp anyway.
Here are two cards which I have created using the new stamp set:

Blog Award
Thank you so much to Linda for giving me this lovely blog award. It is such a nice surprise at the start of the weekend and much appreciated.
So why did I start my blog?
Reason for starting the blog was that I wanted to share my work with other crafters and also with my regular and potential customers. But it was also with my personal development in mind by taking a first step into publishing information on the Internet.
Since then the blog has become a great way of communicating with like-minded crafters, sharing ideas and inspiration and - in combination with other forms of communication - forming friendships.
And now to the difficult part ... forwarding the award to 10 of my favourites blogs. My chosen blogs are:

Matilda
After coming home from a workshop at the Edinburgh Book Festival I fancied a play with some of my dies.
I created the card below with textured cardstock in a variety of colours. I used the Matilda's Hat die from Little Claire, the Marianne D designer doily die, a QuicKutz 4"x 4" die for the flourishes and QuicKutz 2" x 2" dies for the flowers. For the centres of the flowers I chose card candy.
