Blog Candy Winner and Show News

Isn't this a gorgeous card from Georgina?  She's used one of our new 'Save the Date' sentiments and stamped the number inside the circle in a different coloured ink which looks really effective.

A big thank you to everyone who left a comment or sent me an e-mail about our new sentiment stamps - they're certainly popular and we can see why!

The winner of the 'Save the Date' set is:

Karen who said: "OH these stamps are just PERFECT!! I love them!!! :0) They're going to be the most perfect addition for any and every card! Smiles.
So useful and one of those crafting items that never gets put away - ever!xx"

Karen can you please e-mail me at helen@littleclaire.co.uk with your surname and address and I'll get the stamps in the post to you.

And the winner of the 'Sunshine Sentiments' set is:

Pat (one of our e-mail commenters) who said:

"Hello and thank you for these lovely circular stamps.  Someone had their thinking cap on when they designed the set that takes the numerals inside the circle – brilliant idea!  The sunshine greetings stamps are happy little sentiments that will be great for loads of different occasions.  Another couple of winners from Little Claire – thank you for giving us the chance to win a set."

Keep an eye on the blog next week when we'll have our first regular blog candy on offer!

Last weekend we were at the Great Northern Papercraft Extravaganza in Harrogate - we had a great weekend and it was lovely to see everyone.

We also hosted two very successful breakfast workshops using the gorgeous Flossies - here are the two cards the ladies who came to the workshops made (both designed by Helen N):

This first one is made with one of the versatile Flossie die cuts - pre-coloured and perfect for when you want to make a quick but still stylish card.

This second one uses the stamp 'Flossie and Birds' as well as 'Georgina's Buttons and Stitching Stamp Set'.

We were also at the show at Olympia last weekend and Design Team member Heidi was demoing on the Little Claire stand.  Here's a couple of the cards she made:

First of all, a card made using our Butterfly stamp - isn't it elegant?

Then a card using 'Rainy Days', 'Georgina's Buttons and Stitching Stamp Set' and one of the 'Little Beauties' sentiment tags.

Over the next few days you can find us at Hobbycrafts at the NEC in Birmingham - the show starts today (22 March) and runs until Sunday.  For more details, please click here.

Our Last Showcase Winner and Some Cards from Heidi

Congratulations to Claire who has won one of our 'Going Out' stamps from the last showcase of the new 'Super Six' stamps on Saturday.

"This stamp is ideal for putting your own 'stamp' on it by choosing your favourite colours, fashions or trends to make the card, by using pens, papers, fabric and other textures. Such a fabulous set or 6 for those Men cards! Thanks to all at Little Claire for their hard work for us crafters!"
