Little Claire - Loverly Jubblies - Daisy Bunting

Two cards from me today.............same stamp - Daisy Bunting 2 different cards.

This is such a simple design to create..........two patterned papers matted onto black card, placed overlapping at right angles.  Daisy Bunting stamped and trimmed matted onto black card and fixed to the centre of the card.  Coloured using promarkers - card candi coloured using promarkers...........

Daisy Bunting has been die cut and matted onto backing paper.  I have used memory box dies to add the scrolls and corners.  The flowers are punched using a Martha Stewart punch, tiny punch flowers added to the middle and the centres card candi matching colours used in the stamped image.  Daisy bunting is such a cutie..............and will be fabulous for "age" cards.............thank you cards..........sending big hugs etc etc
Loads more cards made................will post later in the week...............whatever you are up to this week...........enjoy and take care xxGaynor

Little Claire Workshop on the Wirral

Just a quick post to say thank you to all the lovely ladies who attended today's Little Claire Workshop at Irby Methodist Church Wirral.  I had a fabulous day, it felt very much like meeting lots of old friends from the previous workshop in September and new friends today.

It still feels very strange to see a design I have created being replicated around the table.....thank you for your lovely company today.............I certainly very much enjoyed myself and I know lots of others did also............looking forward already to the next one once my feet stop moaning............xxGaynor

We had lots of fun deciding who this card maybe for.................and adding the directions.........:) xx

Another card using "The Changing Tree"

As promised another card created with the amazing Changing Tree Set:

This time I have themed the tree using the fabulous family of owls mixed with beautiful blossom flowers.  Added a new sentiment recently released by Little Claire and created bunting using the little tree house which is included in the set.

I have used Nestabilities Dies, pro markers and adhesive crystals............

This weekend I am joining my fellow DT's from Little Claire -  Helen N and Helen R.  I  am taking themed workshops where there are no adhesive crystals ...................I thoroughly enjoyed working on the designs....and will upload the cards once the workshop has taken place............

Exciting times ahead with Little Claire - new monthly project is due out later this week............FABULOUS....

Off to check that all my prep is done for Saturday...............so cheerio for now.....xxGaynor

Changing Tree

Wow!  So many new and wonderful designs from Little Claire....................one of the newbies being Little Claire's Changing Tree.....it comes with a musical theme, wedding theme and trendy owls......now I simply can't resist owls..............neither can a very good friend of mine.....yes you know who you are:)  Oodles of sentiments............resistance is futile on this one.......so don't worry......no point :)

Plenty of opportunity to be creative and design...no two trees need ever be the same again!

I have added a memory box picket fence and corner swirls....Punched out some coordinating flowers and added adhesive crystals.  Folded card is from Little Claire, coloured using Pro Markers.  Another card to follow later this week.  Please check out my teamies - their designs are fabulous. xxGaynor

Little Claire monthly challenge 20 - "Doing the Rounds"

The last day of my Easter holidays............back to school tomorrow...........planned, prepared and readyish!

Here's the card I created for the latest Little Claire DT Blog Challange - when working on this card I had a special fella in mind..............whose birthday it is next weekend.............I hope he likes it!

I have used catapult Bert alongside the cupcakes from the Cake Tree Set from Little Claire...........the cupcakes have been used time and time again on many of my cards.........they create such a lovely accent.

I have used nestabilities circle dies and a new set from "Dies to Dies For" for the corners..........I had to search long and hard to find these little fella's.  The backing paper is a freebie from a craft magazine accented with blue card from "the stash".................definately feeling a blue and lime green mode currently....Coloured as usual with my trusty promarkers and new Card Candi added to the corners.

Whatever you are up to this week....................enjoy! xxGaynor

Latest Making Cards Magazine - I'm in print.......

Thanks to my fellow design teamie - Helen N who emailed me to let me know that cards produced by us both are featured in the May edition of the Making Cards Magazine..........using two of the delicious stamp sets featuring garden designs from Little Claire.

Helen and I are both looking forward to the fast approaching Workshop on the Wirral organised by Little Claire.  Helen and I alongside Helen R have been very busy designing cards for the workshop day.  I am so looking forward to seeing the designs my teamies will be sharing at the workshops.  Which reminds me best get on with the final touches to my goodie box for the day:)

Big list to work through today - just back from a fabulous week down in Cornwall - it is always such a wrench to leave the beautiful county behind..........I love the countryside, freedom and fresh air.....oh well......now how many weeks is it until our return in August......yes I know I am a very lucky girl....cheerio for now. xxGaynor

Beautiful new Club Stamp.

Not quite sure how Little Claire do it................. yet another brilliant release for the April Club Stamp.

This little lady is so delicate with two styles of sentiment......both fit beautifully into circular or tags dies.......

She also gave me lots of opportunity to add a little sparkle mixed in with butterflies - I love her.

I have used a new paper pad  from Little Claire full of citrus yellows, lime greens, cornflower blues and lilac.

The card candi has been coloured in using my trusty promarkers...........
