Love making cards..........x   Little Claire

A selection of cards designed by Heidi from when we where at Alexandra Palace.....

Well, it has been a very busy couple of weeks since we where at the  Ali Pali show with craft shows every weekend and Easter inbetween, I have only just now managed to get these cards together to show you what Heidi was making when she was demoing for us at the show way back in April:

Here are two cards made using our 'Emma's Flower' stamp;

The three cards above have been made using our 'Geranium' stamp and the geranium card directly above was made using the new Stacker card packs which we now stock, these card packs come ready cut & scored for you to make super stacker cards - just fold on the scored lines and off you go, simply add your images and embellishments!

This is the handbag style 'stacker' card

And Heidi made this Step Card, again using the pre-scored packs and one of our peel offs which features our 'Birdcage' design, which is available as a sticker or a stamp.

This is a lovely Scallop Shutter card, which Heidi made at the show, again using our new pre-scored packs; you can find these packs on our web: http://www.littleclaire.co.uk/  and the featured stamp here is our pom pom dahlia stamp and the paper is from the Spring Feast 6 x 6 pad, which again can be found on our website.

Above is one of our lovely Elephant designs 'Are we there yet' which is one of our all time favourites, closely followed by 'Trampoline Hedgehogs' again a favourite of ours:

So, I think it's safe to say that Heidi was kept fairly busy for the two days of the show!  Thank you for the super cards x
Our next show is this weekend at Biggin Hill on Sunday 08 May, please see our web for more details, again Heidi will be on hand demonstrating a range of our products.

Finally, here is a card which has been made by Louise, one of our DT's:

Louise has used our lovely 'Oh Man' stamp set which is such a good male collection with lots of images and text and the background papers are from the 'Up, up & away' 6 x 6 paper pad.

If you would like to see any of your 'Little Claire' cards on our blog and Facebook http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=100002032405046  please send them in!

Best wishes
All at Little Claire x

Elsie helping out!

Hi and thank you to everyone who visited us at the Alexandra Palace show this weekend, it was a super show and the sun shone too, which was great!

We are busy sorting ourselves out before our next show at Thetford this Sunday 17 May, but thought we would share this picture of Elsie sitting on Carol's knee:



Elsie & Carol hard at work!

I think we will have her answering the phone soon and maybe designing some stamps - any guesses what her preference would be?

More card inspiration coming with next blog, bye for now...........xxx
