Fizzy Moon all loved up

I promised you further Fizzy Moon projects - and here is already the next one. It is called 'Fizzy Moon - To the one I love'.

My intention for this project was to use ribbon in a different way. I opted for laced up ribbon due to the decorative value, but also as an innocent sexy hint for a very personal and emotional card.



A full list of required products and setp-by-step instructions are again in my Trimcraft gallery.

I hope you like the card and find the inspiration useful. And please watch out for more Fizzy Moon projects. Yes, there are still more to come. :)

Fizzy Moon

It was once again time for a bit of Christmas crafting. And I just had to pick up my Fizzy Moon Festive Fun products again. It is just such a cute bear that puts a smile onto your face.

Here are two already finished cards. Full product lists and step-by-step instructions for both projects are in my Trimcraft gallery.

Fizzy Moon Christmas - Im Here!

Fizzy Moon Christmas - Time for Presents

I hope you like the cards.

More Fizzy Moon projects will follow soon.

Pink Owl

Today I wanted to try out a decorative border with a die-cut border, ribbon and a flower. My 'victim' was a cute owl image from a Trimcraft First Edition Sweet Owl paper pad. It was really fun to just play for a change and to create such a girlie card with loads of pink tones.

And it is actually a style that is nice and quick, i.e. great when a card is needed at short notice.

Here are the materials I used:

• White card blank
• First Edition Sweet Owl paper pad
• Marianne Designs border die
• QuicKutz 4x4 die with swirls
• Satin ribbon
• Fabric flowers
• 1 brad
• Dovecraft adhesive gemstones (pastels)

I hope you like the card.

Little Claire Club Stamp September 2011

Oh, are computers not wonderful gadgets??? Well, provided they are working ...

Our computer decided to play some dirty tricks on us and refused to start up again. So it was time for a new one, and I am now spending hours over hours setting everything up and trying to get to grips with Windows 7 and the newer version of Microsoft Office.

I an still fighting some battles, but at least things are improving and I can show you two cards made with the new club stamp set that has just been released by Little Claire. This time you are getting two sentiments and three fab images.

Little Claire Bargains!

Little Claire are retiring some stamp designs and are selling the affected stamps for £1.60 each. Yes, you heard right: £1.60!!! And these stamps will not get produced again, so it is your last chance to get your hands on them.

Amongst the retiring stamps are also some Christmas stamps, which might come in very handy for this year's Christmas cards. So why not pop over to the sale section of their website and see if you can bag a bargain?

All offers are, of course, only available while stocks last.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

And here are more cards created with a Christmas stamp by Red Gingham Designs. This time I used the stamp 'Oh Little Town of Bethlehem', which is available exclusively from Little Claire.
