Something From the Weekend....

Hi everyone, hope you've had a happy weekend, it goes so quickly though!

Here are a couple of lovely cards to cheer up a Monday:

First up we have two cards made with one of our stamps 'The Most Wonderful Time of the Year' which is just £3.50 - bargain! Take a look:


designed by Helen Nile

designed by Helen Nile
Same stamp; 'The Most Wonderful Time of the Year' and two different cards!  Isn't it amazing how just colour alone can change a design?

Which colour is your favourite?  Are you a Blue or a Red & Cream person?

Would you like to own this stamp?   Leave a comment for you fav colour and we will draw at random 5 lucky stampers to receive their own Little Claire 'Most Wonderful Time of the Year' stamp - Yippee!

Get in touch and this stamp could be yours - we'll do our draw after we've had a cup of tea tomorrow (23 Aug 2011) at 11.30am.

And...... before we sign off for the night - here is a sneak peek of one of the cards Donna & I will be making at the Breakfast Workshop at GNPE, Harrogate on the mornings of Saturday 10 & Sunday 11 September:

 Do you likey?  Wouldn't you just LOVE to come onto a workshop and make this card?  If you are coming to the GNPE, just contact Craftwork Cards info@craftworkcards.com to book your place.

Thank you Donna for this gorgous card, and I can't wait to join in the fun!

    Really do love them both but am leaning towards the blue as a favourite. Such lovely colours. I really love the other Christmas tree stamp and wish I lived nearer to come to the workshop on Sunday. Looks like I'll be ringing to order it soon.

    Both cards are fabulous and give a brilliant example of how the same stamp can be used to give such different effects but personally I think the BLUE has the edge for me.

    I like the BLUE card, but also the Red one as well. They both look so different even though the same stamp has been used... it just goes to show that the Little Claire stamps are so versitile & can be used numerious times.

    "It's the most wonderful time of the year..
    with the kids jingle belling and everyone telling you'll be of good cheer..."
    How very traditional, so i just have to go for the red and cream design as it says christmas to me, like the old song with dressing the tree and wrapping presents.
