Friday Blog Project - Irresistible Image Card


Good morning - it's Helen here to share a very quick and simple folded card using some of the gorgeous new Irresistible Images from Little Claire.

If you haven't seen the new Irresistible Images yet then have a look here on the website to see the full range.  They are perfect for making quick cards and each pack gives you a great range of images.

I've used the 'Silhouette Romance' pack of images which is here on the website.

To make the card you will need:

3 images from the Silhouette Romance pack
white card
black paper

1. Choose 3 images from the pack and stamp a Dinkie Text sentiment on to each one using the Versafine ink pad as shown in the photo below.  The Versafine pad gives a nice crisp result with sentiment stamps and works perfectly on the image surface.


2. Create a three fold card with each panel measuring 10cm square.  I did this by joining two 10cm square card blanks together as shown in the photo below:


3. Mat each image on to a piece of black paper measuring 9cm square and then on to the white folded card as shown in the photo below.  Add black gems to each panel - I've used groups of three gems plus some single ones.


And here's the finished card again:


I hope you like my quick and easy card - don't forget to go and have a look at the full range of Irresistible Images here.

Have a great weekend

Friday Blog Project - Little Claire Outline Stickers


Have you seen the wonderful range of outline stickers from Little Claire?  Click here to take you to the outline sticker section of the website and take a look at all the great designs!

Four new outline sticker sheets have just been released and today I'm going to share cards made with two of the sheets.  

First of all, a card made using the 'Scottie and Snowman' sheet which is here on the website.  There are three designs on each sheets plus various sentiments.

So to make this card you need:

white stamping card
green card
gold card or paper
black fine liner
colouring medium of your choice

1. Gently remove one of the snowman and scottie images from the outline sticker sheet.  I bend the sheet slightly to release one side of the image and then carefully peel away the rest using tweezers.  Let the sticker 'rest' for a minute and then put it on your cutting mat, sticky side up.  Use one of the lines on your cutting mat line up the sticker as shown below:


2. Cut a piece of white card which is larger than the panel you want to end up with and carefully place this over the sticker, lining the card up with another line on your cutting mat as shown in the photo below:


3, Your outline sticker will now be straight on the piece of card and you can trim it as required:


4. You can now colour the image and make it up in to a card.  Outline stickers are perfect if you struggle with colouring stamped images because the lines of the stickers stop you going over the edges when you're colouring!

5. You will also notice that this sheet has some more detail on it.  I haven't added all the smaller pieces but I have used the snow round the snowman.  Personally I found the pieces of the stickers for the eyes of the snowman and dog a bit too small so I  drew in these details with a black fine liner pen.

And here's another view of the card:


Next a very quick and easy card using the 'Silhouette Cats on Roof' sticker sheet - you can find them find them here on the Little Claire website.

For this card you will need:

Glitter Sparkle Sheet - currently on offer here: 3 packs for the price of 2
dark blue paper

1. Cut a piece of the Glitter Sparkle Sheet slight larger than the piece of paper from the Mini Falling Snow paper pack.  


Next a very quick and easy card using the 'Silhouette Cats on Roof' sticker sheet - you can find them find them here on the Little Claire website.

For this card you will need:

Glitter Sparkle Sheet - currently on offer here: 3 packs for the price of 2
dark blue paper

1. Select the colour of paper from the Mini Falling Snow paper pack - the darker colours will work better here because of the Glitter Sparkle Sheet.  Line up the sheet on one of the lines on your cutting mat and add the rooftoop, the reindeer and sleigh and a few stars.


2.  Cut a piece of the Glitter Sparkle Sheet slight larger than the piece of paper from the Mini Falling Snow paper pack.  Remove the backing paper and lay it on your cutting mat, sticky side facing up.  Place the sheet of paper gently on the film and rub the back of it.  Turn it over and rub the Sparkle Sheet over the outline stickers to make the design 'pop'.  


3. Finish the card by adding a paper layer and then matting it on to a card blank.  Add the outline sticker greeting on top of the Sparkle Sheet and you've complete the card.

I hope you enjoyed my project and it has inspired you to take a closer look at the Little Claire outline stickers here,
