Dinkie - Chimney Sweep Stamp from Little Claire Designs

Morning,

Knee more flexible - getting there......

Today I would like to share a card created with my very favourite, favourite stamp design from Little Claire - Dinkie Chimney Sweep So pleased this "Little Boy" is back with Little Claire - he had a girl companion too, so hope that she will be released also as a Dinkie at some point. Pretty please Steve and Gill :)

I think the stamp is so, so lovely.  Simple matting and layering using Little Claire Designs backing paper and base card.  Faux border, embellishments from the stash.  I have also added "Wink of Stella" to the bristle brush for added shimmer.

Here are the details of their current special offer:

New Dinkie Stamps from Little Claire

Hi all,

Drum roll ... 4 new dinkie designs released by Little Claire Designs today and all four can be purchased for the price of 3.

Tis a little unusual day today - I was on the annual year 6 trip overnight visit to London last week and managed to twist my knee on the coach on the journey down.  After a very tricky two days in London - yes I did manage to keep up with my group - just, and a ticking off from the medic at my local hospital on Friday am...I am now at home being good, resting and exercising as instructed :) The exercising bit really hurts - when you are told to take enough medication to be able to do the exercises but insufficient to function normally you think okay best do as I am told.  I need to be fit for our escape to Cornwall in a couple of weeks......Target set!

So on with a couple of shares:

I have created the two cards using Dinkies 3 Owls For both I have used backing papers from Little Claire, shaded using promarkers.  Faux border created using a ruler and fine micron pen.  Embellishments added from the stash.  The latter card has a border created using a Martha Stewart Border Punch - Zigzag.

Here's the flyer advertising Little Claire Designs offer:

Oh well - best begin another round of exercises - I may be gone a little time :)  Cheerio from me for today. xxGaynor

#67 - Anything Goes from Little Claire Designs.

Hi,
I feel so happy and chirpy - I love the lighter nights, nature awakening, all is good :)
Little Claire Designs latest Blog Challenge is "Anything Goes" - sheer delight especially when I have recently been working with new designs - they are gorgeous, every Little Claire Designs fan will be "buzzing" with the new creations - I certainly am.
My share for this challenge is using one of the new stamp sets - to be released at the end of this month.  Gill kindly gave me permission to share as a sneak peek - thank you Gill, time and tide and all that just ran away with me.
Steve will be sharing some sneak peeks of the new designs at the Craftwork Card Show this Friday and Saturday at the new venue in York - if you are able check them out.
So here is my make: I have created an inked background and stamped the Wavy Dogs Stamp image using black ink.  I masked off an area for the moon and used Wink of Stella.  The central dog has been glossy accented and of course a little fine glitter added to the faux butterfly trails.  The set comes with 3 different sentiments.  Trusty promarkers used to shade in the image.  Sentiment added top and bottom and a faux border created with a black micron pen.

Little Claire Designs have a fabulous prize for grabs.  Why not join in the excitement and give it a go?
Off now to check out my Design Teamies makes.  xxGaynor

Refresh - Spring is in sight!

Morning everyone - well spring is almost here - I am totally loving the days staying lighter, am almost at the stage where I don't need my car lights on back and to, to work.  Definitely a great sign.

I realised that I haven't shared the couple of cards I created using the Wavy Dinkie Sheep Stamp set from Little Claire Designs and so am putting that right!

Here are my makes created in bright cheery spring time colours:

I have added glossy accents to the sheep.  Both stamps coloured using promarkers, backing papers are from Little Claire.  Bee ribbon from "the stash"  Simple matting and layering - faux border created on both using a fine micron pen and ruler.

Hope you like my duo...........getting on with a to do list today - and then hope to have a crafty play later.....once I have sorted out my costume for World Book Day on Thursday at school - Newsround are coming at 8.00am to film......wig ordered......Lady MacBeth Dress ready....once ironed....now where did I put my knitted tights......mmmmm xxGaynor

#66 Love and Marriage Little Claire Designs

Hi,

Love and Marriage our theme for Blog Challenge #66 over at Little Claire Designs.  I really was spoilt for choice deciding which image to use to create my challenge card.

Please join in with our challenge - we really are a friendly bunch and appreciate everyone who shares our passion - bet there are loads of fabulous Valentine makes!!

As always there is a fabbie prize on offer and our top three awards.

So I decided to return to one of my old favourites : Swirly Whirlies Cats  I have gently added pastel colours - I appreciate not easy to see - pink and blue which matches the collars of our two fur babies - Isla and Billy and crystals to accent.  I have also used Little Claire Design Dinkie Text Sentiments and Stripy Backing Papers.

Sorry image is side on..................I blame blogger :)

I extended the border from the design by masking off part of the image with a post it note.
Added a little heart button to the bow for extra dimension.  Faux border created with my micropen and a ruler.  Hope you like my little bit of inspiration.  Off now to check out my design teamie makes. xxGaynor
