Brand New on the Website - Dictionary Definition Stamps

Brand new on the Little Claire website - a great set of Dictionary Definition sentiment stamps just perfect for all sorts of family occasions!  You can find them here on the website.

There are stamps for Aunty, Baby, Brother, Sister, Dad, Mum, Daughter, Son, Grandad, Gran, Husband and finally You're a Star.  Each one has a great definition on it - for example, the Mum stamp says 'best friend, one in a million' and the Grandad stamp says 'relaible, funny, my hero, wise'.

They make the perfect finishing touch to your cards and here's some inspiration from the Design Team:

Maxine using the 'Son' stamp with the very cute 'Keep in Touch'.

Helen N using the 'Daughter' stamp and 'Travelling Daisy'.

Georgina using the 'Brother' stamp and 'Robert and Daisy Umbrella'.

Gaynor using the 'Star' stamp and 'Keep in Touch'.

Brand New on the Website, Papercraft Essentials and Blog Candy!

Brand new on the Little Claire website - two sets of circular sentiment stamps which we know you're going to love!

First of all, 'Save the Date' (shown above) which you can find here on the website.  They are such a useful set of circular stamps which celebrate birthdays, anniversaries and congratulations AND the best bit is you can put your numbers inside the circle so you will never be lost for the correct age or anniversay again!

We have even included the 'th', 'st', 'nd' & 'rd' (they all fit inside with the numbers) and to top it all off, we have a 'Handmade by' stamp with space for your signature!

Our next set is called 'Sunshine Sentiments' and you can find them here on the website. 

A fantastic set of 6 sentiments stamps especially made to brighten up your day (and for everyone to whom you send your cards to)


Each has a unique greeting:
'You are my sunshine'
'Happy Days'
'To my dearest friend'
'Super Duper Person'
'Made with Love & Hugs'
'Dreams can come true'

Use Pro-Markers to colour and shade your designs and add some faux stitching to create your own range of Little Claire cards. Leave with 4-5 cards, the new exclusive Litte Claire catalogue, a discount voucher to use at the show and Little Claire goodies!

Cost of Little Claire workshop is £12, pay a non-refundable deposit of £4 when booking and the balance of £8 on day of workshop.

We've also just added two new classes here on the Wirral to the website - both of them on Saturday 10 March.  Each class will run in the morning and the afternoon so you've got the choice of coming to one or both. 

Our first class is called "Garden and Flowers" and will be a selection of beautiful cards using our new Garden Collection stamps.  Then we  have "The Best of Little Claire" when we'll be sharing cards made with a selection of favourite Little Claire stamps.

Each class costs £20 but if you're coming to both classes, there's a special offer price of £35.  All materials are included plus tea and coffee during the day but you'll need to bring your own lunch.

Finally, brand new on the website we have three great die cut sheets.  Each sheet has six images and costs only £1.00 - great if you want to make a quick card or just want a pre-coloured image!

There's a sheet of Men Die Cut Sheet, a Garden Die Cut Sheet and a Mixture Die Cut Sheet which includes 'Henny Penny' and 'Winter Aga'.  Have a look at our die cuts section on the website here for these and our great sheets.

Brand New on the Website - Georgina's Buttons and Stitching Stamp Set!

We've just added details of this year's first exciting stamp release to our website together with some inspiration from our Design Team members.

The set was designed by Georgina who is one of our Design Team and is called "Georgina's Buttons and Stitching Set".  There are ten stamps in the set and you can find more details plus a full gallery of example cards here on the website.

The stamps are perfect for adding detail and accents to cards and work really well on their own too.

Here are some examples from our Design Team members:

First of all, a card (above) from Georgina using her stamps to create a very effective background - perfect for using up those little pieces of patterned paper that you've kept "just in case" you can use them! 

Next, another card from Georgina using our 'Flowerhead' stamp with buttons for the centres of the flowers and the stitching round the edge of the design:

Next, two cards from Helen N.  The first uses our current club stamp "At Home" - the button has been decoupaged:

Next a card using the cross stitch stamp to make a patchwork background and also a border around the page - again the buttons have been decoupaged.  The other stamp on this card is our "Daisy Pitcher":

Now, two cards from Helen R, using our "Oh Man" stamp, showing the stamps work just as well with men's designs:



Finally, a really pretty card from Donna which also uses our "Butterfly" stamp:

You can see from these cards what a useful and versatile set this is - we'd love to hear what you think of it and also our cards so please leave us a comment!
