More from Fizzy Moon

Yes, the cute Fizzy Moon makes already the next appearance on my blog. Today I would like to share two more cards with you for which I used the new Fizzy Moon ... with love x decoupage and paper pads by Trimcraft.



I gave the card above a patchwork feel with faux stitching and buttons. Main 'ingredient' is the Birthday Wishes Decoupage and Paper Pad.

The second card features a pyramage image and papers from the Little Ones Decoupage and Paper Pad. It is a quick and easy yet effective card, which does not require many additional materials.



Product lists and step-by-step instructions are again in my Trimcraft gallery.

Have a relaxing and crafty weekend!

Fizzy Moon ... with love x

Fizzy Moon 'Little Ones'

The super cute Fizzy Moon is back! Trimcraft have just launched a new Fizzy Moon collection which consists of six clear stamps/stamp sets and six decoupage and paper pads: 'Fizzy Moon ... with love x'.

I love these products so much that you will see quite a few projects over the coming weeks.

Here are now the first two for which I used the decoupage and paper pads 'Boys Club' and 'Little Ones'. And yes, you are getting 4 decoupage or pyramage sheets (2 sheets per image) plus 10 8" x 8" backing papers in one pad, so you do not even need many products to get you started. Some of the sheets are even glittered.

You can find product lists as well as step-by-step instructions for today's projects in my Trimcraft gallery. I hope they will give you some inspiration.

Happy New Year

All the best for a great, healthy, peaceful, successful and creative 2012 to all of you! And I hope you enjoyed a brilliant start into the new year.



And with a new year it is also time for a new Little Claire club stamp. This time club members are getting the 'At Home' stamp set, which includes an image and three sentiments. The set has many uses but is, for example, great for cards for home movers and buyers.

For my above card I coloured in the image using ProMarkers. I combined it with patterned paper from my stash and card form the Tim Holtz & Ranger Distress Collections pack by Core'dinations. For the border I used a Tonic Studios Simplicity Pattern Punch. Embellishments are Candi and a tag cut out from kraft card.

Little Claire Weekly Blog Project

Apologies for the recent lack of updates. I have been doing quite a bit of work in the background lately. But slowly one project after the next one can be revealed. And over the next few weeks you will find quite a few ideas for cards and links to projects here, so watch this space.

So lets get started with the first new project:

I just created the weekly blog project for Little Claire - their last blog project for 2011. It is a desktop calendar in the shape of an easel card with an exchangeable calendar tab. You can find a list of required products and tools as well as step-by-step instructions with photos on the Little Claire blog.

I hope you like this project and are inspired to make some calendars yourself.

Enjoy Hogmanay and have a great start into the year 2012!

Little Claire Challenge #16

This morning the new Little Claire challenge went live. This time the topic is 'Family Christmas'.

You can enter up to three new projects by 18.00 on Friday, 6 January 2012. To participate please leave a link to the post with your challenge project (not just to your blog) on the Little Claire blog. And you can, of course, also add a comment in case you want to tell us more about your card or the special recipient.

The winner will receive a £10 Little Claire gift voucher. The top three entries using Little Claire stamps will get a badge/blinkie for their blogs.



For my design team card I used the cute polar bear family depicted in the stamp 'Not Long Now', which I coloured in using Spectrum Noir pens, as well as a round sentiment stamp from the Red Gingham - Christmas Text set. The snowflakes are created using Marianne Design dies. For the snow and the centres of the snowflakes I used a DecoArt Snow Writer.

I hope you will all enter your wonderful creations.

Henny Penny

This week the Little Claire team has launched another new stamp: 'Henny Penny'.

The image is great for quick and easy cards like those last minute birthday cards when one is yet again too busy and nearly forgetting about essential dates (oh yes, I so know that feeling) ... Or what about starting already with some Easter cards?

The image is not too detailed and can be coloured in quickly. And for the two cards in this post I have just combined it with coloured cardstock and dotted organza ribbon.



I hope you like the two cards and the Henny Penny stamp.

Little Claire Club Stamp December 2011

Can you believe that it is already time for the last Little Claire club stamp of the year 2011??!! When the next one is getting launched it will already be 2012 ...

But back to December. This month's stamp set is 'Winter Aga' and consists of a lovely, homely kitchen image and a round sentiment stamp, which is so nice for the cold time of the year. It is now available from Little Claire.

For the above card I used a cream linen textured card blank and cream glass smooth cardstock by Southfield, Core'dinations Tim Holtz cardstock with a kraft core, a Tim Holtz embossing folder, patterned paper from my stash and a simple piece of string from a supermarket. The image is coloured in with ProMarkers.
