Bargains To Be Had From Little Claire

Little Claire have a fabulous range of stamps called "In Squares".  There are Elephants, Hedgehogs, Cats and Westies.  These stamps can be purchased individually at £7.50 each or until 5pm Wednesday 11th May, the fantastic offer price All 4 for £20.00!

I have had the pleasure of experimenting with the Cat stamp and it's lovely.

For this card, I've used the stamp as a whole.  I've actually decoupaged the three grey cat squares and the paw print square but you can't really see it here.

And you can just use elements of the stamp if you wish.

Thanks for looking and don't forget to checkout the Little Claire website.

Spikey Flowers and Create and Craft

Well done to Steve from Little Claire who appeared on Create and Craft yesterday.  I think the show was the best one yet and Leonie did a really nice job of showing off all the DT's cards.  Sadly, there wasn't enough time to show the brand new Spikey Flowers Set and Claire's Fleurs and Claire's Bistro.  Here are my creations - Gill has let me know that she's not been able to upload them to the Little Claire website yet - maybe I've got Gremlins in my camera!!!!  Here are my designs anyway, plus a few others from the show.

Thanks for looking.  If you get chance, check out Simplyhandmadeby - mine and my buddies new venture.  xxxx

Sparkly 40th Card

It was my cousin Mark's 40th Birthday recently and I was in a real panic about making a card for him - making man cards is always a challenge.  I think I did OK with it though - quite simple in design but hopefully it did the job.

Good News From Little Claire

Hi Everyone - Hope you are all well and managing to be productive despite the very dull weather - lights needed in the middle of the day here!!!

I have some very good news about Little Claire in that they have launched a range of fantastic Digi Downloads which you can find here.  They are super crisp, clear images at a fraction of the cost of stamps - plus they are instantly available which is ideal for those last minute (just in case you forget!!) kind of cards.  Even better - if you look closely enough, there is a freebie hidden amongst them - so for a crafty treasure hunt - head over to Little Claire.

I have been busy making cards and working on some other little projects for our first Simply Handmade By......... venture - it's not until later on in March so I'll keep you posted on our progress and details of our first sale!!!

Bye for now,

Jess

Exciting News - Brand New Little Claire Challenge Blog

On Saturday 5th February we will be starting our new monthly Little Claire Challenges, so we just had to have some candy to celebrate!

All you need to do, for a chance to win the stamps and flowers in the pic, is add the photo and link to our candy in your sidebar and become a follower if you're not already.  It would be great if you would also blog about our new challenges to help us get the word around, but it's not a requirement for the candy.  Then just add a link to your blog below.

The winner will be announced on Saturday 5th February when we launch our first challenge.

Good luck!
