Holiday

Apologies for lack of updates, currently on holiday in Cornwall.....and didn't dare pack my creative stash.......suffering from craft withdrawl at the moment......oh how satisfying double sided tape and matting and layering is...............................xxGaynor

Being creative..................or making a mess!

At last I've had a play with some Dawn Bibby spritzers..................and some of her own stamp designs.....I began by creating A4 sheets of spritzed card.......and allowing them to dry.

Next I stamped out images using the owl stamp set...................my daughter too got involved......I'm quite pleased with the results........the cards will be personlised for their recipients at at later date........


My daughter's card.................edged using Martha Stewart punches around gold embossed mirror card.  Accents, Craftwork Cards Card Candy..............love it, love it, love it............

Two further designs.............

Now to get on with some cat Christmas cards..........................xx

All year round ...........

Decided to post a couple of cards made previously using Little Claire Rainy Day Stamp - this was a club stamp......you pay just £7.50 plus £1 p + p each month to receive the latest club stamp.  Your stamp comes with a pack to immediately create a card....plenty of images including project sheets.....amazing.  A gallery is always available on their website to for further ideas.............their latest stamp already has 36 card ideas....check it out at http://www.littleclaire.co.uk/.

This month's club stamp is a person relaxing in a hammock.............................I can't take any credit for this one........it was designed by my husband...........he's even written up and produced a design template.......please let me know if you'd like the details.

My weakness...............cat stamps!

Using all the new goodies from Little Claire and having tidied up my craft room / "dining room" well it is at Christmas......takes me ages to safely store all my craft goodies in every nook and cranny I have meant I just had to have a play with some of my cat stamps...............from Penny Black.  These stamps I've had for ages.....and I love them...............especially the trio for Christmas with little Christmas hats on.....wait and see........................

Below a definite Birthday one, others are left to be personalised as and when I need them.

Christmas in August................making cards at least.

Little Claire Stamps have launched a new range of Christmas Stamps..........and I've been having a "play".....in truth it was decided that I needed to sort out all my craft items.......at one time we used to have a dining room...............anyhow one and a half days later......total declutter and everything with a place.....and the wonderful opportunity to craft........all day if I choose to, well it is school holidays and Mr Sunshine has obviously packed his bags too.....as I don't know where the sun has gone in the North West.......no excuse but to create some Christmas cards.........get ahead..beat the rush.

So here goes.  All cards created using Little Claire Stamps - http://www.littleclaire.co.uk/
