Day 1 of Our Brand New Garden Collection and a Chance to Win!

This week on the Little Claire website we are launching our brand new collection of stamps the "Garden Collection" - five gorgeous designs that we know you are going to love!

Each day this week, one of the stamps will be added to the website and we will be showcasing the stamp here on the blog with a range of cards made by our Design Team.

We're also giving you the chance to win one of the stamps each day.  All you need to do is to leave us a comment here on the blog before midnight telling us what you think of the stamp and we'll choose a lucky winner to receive a stamp tomorrow morning!

And so on to today's stamp which is the beautiful "Deckchair" stamp which you can find here on the wesbsite - it evokes thoughts of summer days and birdsong.

And here's some inspiration from our Design Team:

first of all, a card from Donna which also uses the little circular sentiment from the "Sunny Days" set:

next one from Gaynor:

and from Georgina who has also used one of the "Little Beauties" tag sentiments:

and from Heidi again using one of the "Little Beauties" tag sentiments:

from Helen N:

from Helen R:

and finally from Maxine:

Aren't they gorgeous? 

We'll be releasing another lovely stamp design tomorrow so make sure you come back to find out what it is and to see some more cards from our Design Team.

Plus don't forget to leave us a comment before midnight tonight for the chance to win a "Deckchair" stamp!
