Friday Blog Project - Little Claire

Morning all,

Last day of my half term breather - has been brilliant to relax and enjoy!  Now on with today's Little Claire Friday Blog Project.  The inspiration gained when creating the Valentine's Day card for my lovely hubbie last weekend.  So here goes - Mother's Days cards x 2!

Stamps used:  Silhouette Owl Tree and "Mum" from Dictionary Definitions Sentiment Set.

I used a scalloped card blank as my base with stamping card cut to 12.5cm x 12.5cm, backing paper cut at 13.5cm x 13.5cm.

All elements are photographed apart from the adhesive stones, fineliner pen, heat gun and clear embossing powder.

The images were stamped and embossed using clear embossing powder.

Elements assembled.  Fineliner and adhesive stones added.

Yes two cards - two colour ways - two mums to create cards for.  Nothing like being prepared!

Hope you like my little make..............now off to enjoy my last Friday before work next week.......mmh decisions, decisions...  xxGaynor

Scottie Dogs - Little Claire

Morning,

February just - and an opportunity to share a couple of cards created using the new project stamp set from Little Claire - Scottie Dogs.  This set is just so cute and couldn't be more seasonal with the recent snowy weather we have all been sharing.

Both my cards have been created with just a single stamped image and sentiment.  There are lots more to choose from in the set.  I have used tartan papers both to paper piece and as a background on the second card.  The tartan papers from Little Claire come in both dinkie and 6 x 6.  For the second card I have used 4 dinkies to create the panel.  Coloured with promarkers, buttons and diamond glaze plus adhesive crystals for embellishments.  Hope you likey.   Cheerio for now... xxGaynor

Little Claire Friday 1st of 2015 Blog Project

Good morning.

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2015.

I have created a quickie card to start off the New Year.  I say a quick card - it always takes me ages of playing, tweaking and of course thinking before a card is created.  But once the idea is there and the room covered in craftiness - it comes together!  Doesn't take me as long to put everything away!

Here is my design for today using the beautiful Silhouette Owl Tree and a Little Tag stamp from Little Claire.  I used coodinating papers - this is the bit where the room gets "busy". A pigment ink pad to coordinate - another few trays out, a little twine, pretty charm, diamond glaze and of course a crystal or two.

I am quite pleased with the design - I enjoy paper tearing, I think it adds an element to the dimension and of course doesn't create too much depth to be posted.

Here's my make in piccies:

Hope you likey and perhaps feel a little inspired to be creative.  All the very best to you and yours.  Gaynor xx
