Have you had already a closer look at all the gorgeous Swirly Whirlies stamps on the Little Claire website or even treated yourself to some? Perhaps during a craft shopping spree at the NEC?

Here are some more cards that I created with these beautiful stamps. I hope you like them.

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.

Instead of a sneak peek you are getting a taster of some more Swirly Whirlies images today, as the stamps are already available! :)

This post is dedicated to ideas for cards created with the Swirly Whirlies Little Harry stamp and the Swirly Whirlies Owl Family. Soon there will also be galleries for these stamps on the Little Claire website, i.e. plenty of additional inspiration is on the way.

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!

Here is another sneak peek on the new 'Cutie Patootie' stamps by Little Claire.

For today's card I coloured in the image with Spectrum Noir and ProMarker pens. I also used oval and scalloped oval nesties, a decorative lace border die by Heartfelt Creations, a Marianne Design butterfly die, Woodware organza ribbon and white adhesive pearls.

You can find again more inspiration on the Little Claire blog and on the blogs of my fellow design team members (links to those are on the left-hand panel of the Little Claire blog).

And more will follow tomorrow ...

Another Little Claire Sneak Peek


It is time for another sneak peek for the brand-new Little Claire stamps that will be launched at the NEC next month.

Today is dedicated to a stamp from the new Red Gingham collection. This poppy stamp is great all year round, but is it not just perfect for the month of November?

And there is again loads more inspiration on the Little Claire blog and the blogs of my fellow design team members (links to those are on the left side panel of the Little Claire blog). Have you already entered the competition to be in with a chance to win a set of the six new 'Cutie Patootie' stamps?

I hope you will pop along again tomorrow for another sneak peak.
