February Club Stamp

I love the new February club stamp from Little Claire's Designs. Its called 'Big Hugs' and, as with all of Little Claire's stamps, it is so versatile. It could be used for birthdays, get well, or even 'just because' cards.

For my first card, I used papers (free from a magazine), pink and green Bazzill, MS loop punch and card candy. I stamped the image and sentiment with Memento ink and coloured it with Promarkers. I love pink and green together :)

How cute is this little mouse?

For my second card, I stamped and water coloured the image with Distress inks and mounted it with 3D foam. Then I stamped the sentiment (which comes with the set) and distressed it using the same ink and added a ribbon - et voila!

New Releases from Little Claire's Designs!

GEORGIA

Little Georgia is watering her garden and doesn't she look so cute! The image is so versatile, it could be used for any occasion and is a breath of fresh air after the ice and frost we've had this week.

Images coloured with Promarkers; gingham ribbon oval scallop and leaf cutting dies from Little claire's Designs; Martha Stewart daisy border punch; button, gems and ribbon from stash; Nestabilities; Swiss dots cuttlebug folder.

I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU

This little elephant taking care of her tortoise friend is just so cute and the image is so easy to work with. I wanted to make two totally different cards, so I used plain cardstock for the background to the first and Pink Petticoat papers for the second card. I cut leaves from the papers and attached a handmade flower to finish it off.

Both images were coloured with Promarkers; Glamour Dust added for sparkle; Nestabilities; card candy; gem.

A PLACE IN THE SUN

This new stamp is fantastic for all occasions and comes with a choice of two sentiments - Birthday Wishes and Home Sweet Home. I loved working with these new stamp as it is completely different from anything I have used before and I am very pleased with the results. The photos dont really do the cards justice :( The first card has a lovely summery feel to it - the perfect antidote to this dreadful weather!

I coloured the images with Promarkers (1st card) and Distress Inks (2nd card); papers from Pink Petticoat; Martha Stewart punch; gems.

BIRDCAGE

Just look at this cute little girl reading her book while her little birdie is keeping her company! This image is just so cute and works well with both contemporary vintage colour schemes.
