Ever so lovely

The 'Ever so lovely x' stamp in combination with patterned paper, raffia ribbon,
silk flowers and swirls created with QuicKutz dies.

Have you already spotted the brand-new outdoor inspired stamp that has just been brought out by Little Claire? It is called 'Ever so lovely x' and gives a nice spring-like and summery feel, so it is ideal for a break from making Christmas cards.

The 'Ever so lovely x' stamp in combination with patterned paper, die-cut shapes
created with Spellbinders Nestabilities and Marianne Designs dies, paper flowers
on crackle paint in 'picket fence', adhesive gemstones and a die-cut
Red Gingham sentiment.

The Red Gingham die-cut mixed sentiments also work well with this stamp and are a nice and quick way of personalising a card.

This new stamp is now available from the Little Claire website. There you can also find the die-cut sentiments. But you can, of course, also order over the phone.

Fizzy Moon - Waiting for Santa

I hope you will enjoy trying out some of the Fizzy Moon projects or working your magic and giving them your personal touch.

And I think I will now treat myself to two days with non-Christmas craft projects. ;)

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 - 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.
